    http://www.sky.fm Check out this website and there is an app for iphones. There are many channels, including 70′s, 80′s, 90′s, country, top hits, relaxation, etc. I put my phone in the dock of my stereo and usually choose 80′s and having it loud for cleaning the house. It’s continuous music and it’s FREE. You can pay a small amount to have premium, but I haven’t bothered with that. Check it out.
    I’m looking forward to having a clean and organised house in 4 weeks time… thank you so much!!

    What about “Gonna Fly Now”, the theme song from the Rocky movies, and “You Are The Best”, the theme song from Karate Kid. I think both these songs are worthy of inclusion in the list of top song to clean your house to. Although they are a bit cheesy both songs can get you really pumped to do anything, regardless if its house cleaning chore or doing a homework. Listening music in the background is a great way to take your mind of things while doing something you don’t enjoy very much. That’s probably the reason why some domestic cleaners in London are listening to music when working.
