Cleaning your house can be really therapeutic or a massive pain. Some people enjoy the long, slow strokes of a squidgy or a vacuum cleaner and others would really prefer if someone else did it.
It's also pretty hard to get your kids involved in a spring clean, at least partly because they can't reach the tops of windows or other surfaces.
But Kmart has started selling a product that could get them doing something.
A child-sized vacuum cleaner that actually works now exists, meaning your little ankle-biter can run around the house and help get all the dirt and dust cleaned up.

Because it's not some towering, loud machine, kids would no doubt think it was a toy.
Kmart's website says: "Get your little one excited about doing household chores with this realistic cordless toy vacuum. Vacuum cleaner with real suction to pick up dirt; includes multiple attachments; easy open dirt compartment and realistic sounds and swirling action."
Admittedly, the company insists that the product is a toy and 'intended for role play only'. But let's be honest - if it can clean the floor you know mums and dads will get their kids to do a lap of the house with it.

After photos of the toy were posted on social media, people absolutely lost their minds.
One person wrote: "If this actually works the person who did this deserves a pay rise! Shut up and take my money."
It's a similar to a push from Lidl for kids to get involved in daily tasks done by parents. The discount supermarket chain unveiled 'fun-size' trollies for young people as they follow their mum, dad or guardian in the various food aisles.
The teeny trolleys were available in a number of stores during a trial period before being rolled out across the UK early last year.

The mini trolleys are set up in a special nine-trolley bay, according to The Sun, and parents won't need to put money into them to make them work - unlike regular trolleys.
Lidl is hoping that by introducing the small trolleys it will help children to become more involved in doing the food shop and thinking about healthy eating.
Ryan McDonnell, commercial director of Lidl UK, said: "We're constantly looking for new ways to make shopping more fun and engaging for kids.
"We're keen to help parents build their children's understanding of what they eat, and we hope that our new Fun Size Trolleys will encourage kids to play a bigger part in the family shop."
