I’m so bad for ratting my self out after! Guests will be like “ your house is always so clean?!” And I feel the need to tell them, nah- there’s random junk shoved in my pantry. It’s like when someone compliments my shirt and I feel the need to tell them it was a dollar at the thrift store haha
I do this too! I go out of my way to dress really nice or do something extra, and when someone compliments me on it, in a split second I get word vomit and tell them how much it was and why I have it or how I have it 🙄. Shut up katy.
I just wanna say, you look soooooooo good with short hair...... like seriously..... you look younger with short hair then you did younger with long hair.
Fill your sink with hot soapy water, add the dishes and let them soak. Get your vacuum out and leave it somewhere conspicuous so it looks like you were in the middle of cleaning.
My husband keeps asking me, why there's so much junk in our baskets 😄 anytime we have guests over, he can't find his stuff for a week 😂 At least now I know, i'm not the only one!
Girl I told my seven-year-old to straighten up the living room and when I came back in to check on him he was karate chopping the pillows. I knew at that moment I had made it as a parent.👀😂
I kid you not if someone just shows up without calling first or only gives me a 15 min warning, I will stare at them through the window with no pants on and not even THINK about opening that door 🙅🏼♀️😂
I used to hate people stopping by last minute but I learned to embrace it!! If you say yes and let go of the house being perfect you won’t regret it! I have 4 kids but I’m a minimalist so my house is pretty easy to keep clean.
Same, I have 3 kids and we live in a 2 bedroom apartment so there’s really no other option but to keep it relatively clean, because we’d have nowhere to walk😂
Not at all lol I'll hide whole someone rings the doorbell lol I grab the kids, pull them all into a room while I peek out of the corner of the window until they drive away! Lol if I got a text like that, if just act like I didn't see it...
I would never want my FRIENDS to go through all of this. I want to be real with each other. I've done the dishes quite a few times at girlfriends' homes. It's better to do life together ❤️.
Heather Fetterly I agree we should all be more authentic, but I totally do the crazy-run-around-clean 🙈 but I’m trying to be more concerned with the things that matter. Still loved this video!
Then you are a true friend! A mum of one of my daughter's friends told me she stopped doing playdates with certain mothers because ( she considered) their houses weren't clean enough 😲 It made me so stressed every time she came round.
Yes! And spray the curtains near the door with febreeze or something like that, and throw on the coffee maker so the house smells even more inviting 😁 I also turn on the kettle for those who want tea. Awesome video!
I love watching speed cleaning videos, yet they never inspire me to actually get off my ass to clean my house. I'm just all ''yes, that's so soothing, so satisfying..'' nodding in agreement, surrounded by literal trash. Yet, I feel an (unearned, clearly) sense of accomplishment watching these types of videos.
Them: "Hey are you home? I'm in your neighborhood." Me (lounging on the couch): "No, sorry. I'm visiting my mom right now. Won't be back until tonight. Sorry!"
Some of your videos don't apply to my life cause I'm 56 years old and my kids are grown. But I usually watch because I always enjoy your comedic expressions... you're a modern day Lucille Ball!!!
I love how you’re showing this with a completely calm house as I’m doing all this my toddler would be running around behind me messing it all up again 😂🙈
Oh my goodness! The worst is when someone rings the doorbell and I don’t plan on answering, but my kids go to the door and peek around the curtain on the door window at the person! I’m like whisper-yelling to them to stop! Lol!!!
Omg my daughter is bad with this. I cant stand opening the door in gear of it being a stranger (i dont like talkin to ppl i dont know 🤷) so when someone knocks and im not expecting anyone i wont answer the door but my 4 y/o will scream someone is at the door 🤦
What has helped me over the years, put away items right after use, load dishwasher when sink is full, dry mop wood floors everyday, doesnt take long, lysol wipes and having paper towels and cleaner to clean washrooms everyday.
Am I the only paranoid person who looks behind every shower curtain to make sure there's not a serial killer behind there??? Yeah putting the clutter basket in shower wouldn't work for me...
Please Jordan, don’t ever apologise for your child making noise. He’s a blessing and every sound he makes is a pleasure to hear. You’re an amazing person, I have watched every single video in the last 6 months. I wish I could buy your program. Living in the uk on state disability money is not easy x
LOVE THIS!!! Watching you reminds me of when I was little, we'd have cleaning races during the commercials of our tv time. Simple things, like our stuff went to our rooms, clean laundry was put away, dusting and clearing low places mom had a hard time reaching. I did the same with my kids and while I worked as a nanny, too. I was jokingly accused of tricking the kids to work! LOL! It was all made FUN. A little does go a long way. Thank you!!!
My biggest hang up is the sink full of dishes. I cant believe I never thought of not actually cleaning them and just hiding them in the dishwasher! You are a genius!
Thank you! I teach piano at home and some crazy days I'm like OMG MY STUDENT WILL BE HERE IN 15 MINUTES! These are just the tips I needed to make my home presentable. 😘
I once had my mother in law come over (no phone call). I left her in the lounge room with my hubby, asked if she would like a drink went to the kitchen threw all the dishes on a sheet pan and straight into the oven. Completely forgot that night turned on the oven and all the plastic’s melted. 🤣🤣🤣
The 50’s housewife manual actually uses the basket trick. After she showers and gets dressed for the day she is supposed to grab a basket and pick up all of the clutter.
You crack me up. I know your family requires a lot of your attention. You inspire me and Lord knows I need it very often. I keep coming back here for more motivation.
Gosh the amount of people who day no to last minute visits.you may just be missing out on something special.they can be fun.and there are unexpected people i havent seen in years who showed up and was so glad to see.most even clean people do quick last minute things to make our home feel welcome
Hi Jordan, I haven't watched a video from you in a while. I saw this one about cleaning up fast, and decided to watch. I am glad I did. You are very created at what you do, and you make it funny. I love the fact that you are a wife, and mom, but you have not let that stop you from being an entrepreneur as well. Thank you for being an inspiration to us all. God bless!!
Love this 😆 I have 4 and I’ve literally wondered how everyone else gets this done ? I do this for myself basically cause my grandma had 8 kids and always had someone coming through her doors.
Stopped filming my cleaning video to watch this ❤ . I got to agree with all this tips well done!! Omg the comments on this video got me lmao! I guess we can all relate 😂😂
One of the first videos I ever watched from you a couple years ago was about this. I still use the laundry basket gather trick. I totally get what you are saying, it is not about the appearance of perfection, it is about the ability to confidently open your door minus distraction. I am sad that I am that way though. I wish I could be more real. I know when I go somewhere and know that person hasn’t wasted their time to put on a show for me, it makes me feel closer to them and less hard on myself.
Love your videos. I'm married to a terrible house keeper. She catches me watching your videos all the time. She thinks I'm nuts but your methods work. Jim in Leesburg Virginia.
I have found my queen! “Hide that stuff in a laundry basket”! THESE are the kind of tips I need. I already know how to clean. Your website is an extra ultra bonus!!! THX!
I once had an important guest come over and I had a ton of dirty dishes. I did not have a dishwasher so I really did load them all in a basket and put them in the shower. After then left I went to get them out and went, wait. I'll just rinse them right HERE. I'm terrible. I know.
I love that you added "do it for yourself". I think as SAHM's we can get a little "shop blindness" and not notice the chaos that has slowly been accumulating over the day. I'm always horrified if I duck out and then return and see the mess!
Pamela Giacca not sure if they still have it, but bath and body works had a candle that was “French baguette” scent and I put that on my kitchen so it always smelled like I was baking bread😂🙌🏼
I’m pregnant with my first right now. Moms like you give me hope! Omg I want more kids asap and I want to be as awsome as you are! 😂 great tips by the way. We have a much smaller home than you do but sometimes it can still be overwhelming when you have a lot to do. Greetings from London UK! ❤️
This is gonna sound really weird but your teeth are so perfect! Also, a couple scent tips: Sprinkle some essential oils on your AC filter, the smell will be disbursed throughout the house. Also, you can buy the little car fresheners that go in the vent, stick them in the AC vents throughout the house. Again, you get a smell throughout the house. :)
Great tip about the dishes! I always have that problem. Will have to remember that one. I don’t do air fresheners because of my allergies. I hate when I go to someone’s house that has them. It gives me a headache so I would never use those. Great video!
My husband's cousin always has on his stove a few sticks of cinnamon in water on, natural air freshener that has never bothered my husband's allergies. Of course, if you don't like cinnamon, you could do this with orange peel?
I refuse to be pressured to have a spotless house just for someone popping in. You know I have 3 kids. You can see the clutter and deal with it or I don’t need you in my life.
I'm gonna listen to this so many times to get this into my brain as much as i can! Hey Jordan, I'm kaitlyn from New Zealand and i love your videos. I suffer from mental health issues all due to trauma and my one bedroom house has pretty much always been in shambles since i moved in in February. Thanks for all your helpful videos filled with practical tips and tricks!! You are awesome. God bless xx
One thing I love about small Japanese apartments is you normally don't go over to people's homes unless it's a actual house because apartments aren't soundproof. So we gotta keep things quiet so quests is a no no. Going out it's pretty cheap and lots to do so we normally go out to meet friends. Some friends maybe in the area and come by to pick you up but there's no entertaining at home. Less hassle.
I do this every time my mother in law comes and pick up one of the kids 😂 “ wow, so clean here “ said my mother in law 😂 Oh yes, i cant live in a mess, u know 😂🙈🔫 ( Lying of course 😂 ) U look amazing with short hair 🥰 and I love all ur video 🥳
I love love these tips! The lit candles always make a space look and feel nicer. I also make sure I open all the blinds and /or window treatments.Natural light makes a home feel fresher,brighter and cleaner!
Omg! I love you lol I swear I don’t like anyone coming over for that reason not even my kids friends but your tips are a game changer!!! Thank so so much
These are great tips! 😄 One that works really well for me is I do a quick blast of some lemon scented cleaner on the inside of my front door and so a quick wipe down.. Makes look shiny and gives a fresh scent at the door. 😁
Them: "I'm coming over in 15 minutes" Me: *Sitting on couch* "I'm not home" I wish I would try to rush around to clean for someone who doesnt have the decency to gave me a few hours notice. 🙄
if you text me 15 min in advance you will be told no or can it be later... no one that really matters to me would do that they know we have 2 disabled people and kids in this house. they wouldn't do this. but this is great advice. thank you.
Nah...I don’t do surprises visits. I need a 3 day notice before anyone comes to my home.🤣🤣🤣
Qt Pie My mother in low she is coming tomorrow and I been busy cleaning since the last 2 days
At least 3 days. A week is better. 🤣🤣
3 day minimum for sure!! Glad I'm not the only one haha
I need a 6-month notice.
Hahaha!
The laundry baskets will only work if they aren’t already full of clean clothes you haven’t put away yet. 😂🤦🏽♀️
🤣 True story!
Just buy more baskets! I had about 4 or 5 at one point! ;)
Story of my life!
Seriously! With 9 people in our house, we don't have a single empty laundry basket....
My first thought after watching this video is I need way more baskets because mine are always full!
My husband heard me watching this and he says ‘she does the same as you - the stash and dash!’ 😂
LOL, love that phrase :)
Stash and dash to rid us of the CHAOS...
Can't

Syndrome
I’m so bad for ratting my self out after! Guests will be like “ your house is always so clean?!” And I feel the need to tell them, nah- there’s random junk shoved in my pantry. It’s like when someone compliments my shirt and I feel the need to tell them it was a dollar at the thrift store haha
Are you from the Midwest? I'm the same way!
😂 LOVE this!
Why do we all do this?? We need to the learn the art of a simple “Thank you”
Haha. I was wearing a dress the other day that someone complimented. I responded, "Thanks! I got it on a great sale and it has pockets."
I do this too! I go out of my way to dress really nice or do something extra, and when someone compliments me on it, in a split second I get word vomit and tell them how much it was and why I have it or how I have it 🙄. Shut up katy.
Me one hour before my husband gets off work everyday😂😂
Aja Kadlubowski lmfao i hear u sister 🤣
Haha I’m a pro at speed cleaning before the hubby comes home and my kids have ratted me out a few time 😂😂😂
Lmao mine always knows when I do that 😭
That's the whole reason I'm watching this 😂
Same make it look like you've been cleaning all day 😂😂
I just wanna say, you look soooooooo good with short hair...... like seriously..... you look younger with short hair then you did younger with long hair.
think how the haircut can change you
Thank you!
I think she looks hot!
I think it cute either way but its probably less work shorter
the makeup or the plenty hormones on a double pregnancy
Fill your sink with hot soapy water, add the dishes and let them soak. Get your vacuum out and leave it somewhere conspicuous so it looks like you were in the middle of cleaning.
So it looks like....? So only for apearances.... Sad
@katherinrDodson😂😂😂😂😂 guilty over here
I use to do this all the time before I had kids lol
Yep, I do the vacuum trick a lot 😆
Catalina Soprano this whole video "is for appearances" for last minute guests...
I actually always look into people's showers to make sure there isn't a murderer waiting to kill me while I pee 😂
Lmao I thought I was the only one
😂😂😂😂😂
Same here! Every time. Doesnt matter how many times Ive been to someones house. I will always check the shower if i go into the bathroom.
Sofia Tarin I sling the curtain back in my own house, especially if it’s really quiet or I’m alone.
What are you going to do when you find a bad guy in there? 😂
Fast retreat..... Postpone bathroom visit 🤣🤣
My husband keeps asking me, why there's so much junk in our baskets 😄 anytime we have guests over, he can't find his stuff for a week 😂
At least now I know, i'm not the only one!
Girl I told my seven-year-old to straighten up the living room and when I came back in to check on him he was karate chopping the pillows. I knew at that moment I had made it as a parent.👀😂
HA! YES!!! 🙌🏻
That’s hilarious! You definitely made it!!
Cleaning the house while kids are still growing is like shoveling snow while it’s still snowing.
-Phyllis Diller
Not Of This World 😊
I kid you not if someone just shows up without calling first or only gives me a 15 min warning, I will stare at them through the window with no pants on and not even THINK about opening that door 🙅🏼♀️😂
😂🤣
I just laughed SO hard!
Lol!!! I am rolling! 😂😂
omg I'm dead
You win best comment😂
Friend: “I’ll be there in 15 minutes!”
Me: “I asked and my mom said no.”
YESSS!
Lol 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Excuse to not clean 😂😂
“But you live alone” ❤️😂😂😂
I get more cleaning done in the 15 minutes before someone comes over than most days lmao
meg same it’s bad lmao
Me too haha I actually need surprise visits for me to clean.
All of us do
I used to hate people stopping by last minute but I learned to embrace it!!
If you say yes and let go of the house being perfect you won’t regret it!
I have 4 kids but I’m a minimalist so my house is pretty easy to keep clean.
My flat is about the size of your couch corner so if I have guests coming in 15 minutes I can comfortably deep clean the whole thing 😂
Anja Dana 🤣🤣
Anja Dana yep I live in a 450 sq ft apartment, I can clean the whole thing in like 15-20 minutes. Not organize, but clean yes
Yeah, I hear you! My sink is also small, so even if it's completely full, it actually doesn't have that much in it.
My neighbor tosses living rm. things behind the sofa if someone is coming over. lol
Same, I have 3 kids and we live in a 2 bedroom apartment so there’s really no other option but to keep it relatively clean, because we’d have nowhere to walk😂
is it sad that I would just say I'm not home? LOL!
Brenda Rogers lol no. I’ve done this too 😂
same and my car is parked outside 😂😂
Prem Deia maybe you’re in someone ELSES car 🤫
I’ve done that before too lol But sometimes it is an aunt of mine coming to town and she wants to stay with me! Surprise!!! 😬😬
Not at all lol I'll hide whole someone rings the doorbell lol I grab the kids, pull them all into a room while I peek out of the corner of the window until they drive away! Lol if I got a text like that, if just act like I didn't see it...
I would never want my FRIENDS to go through all of this. I want to be real with each other. I've done the dishes quite a few times at girlfriends' homes. It's better to do life together ❤️.
Heather Fetterly I agree we should all be more authentic, but I totally do the crazy-run-around-clean 🙈 but I’m trying to be more concerned with the things that matter. Still loved this video!
Then you are a true friend! A mum of one of my daughter's friends told me she stopped doing playdates with certain mothers because ( she considered) their houses weren't clean enough 😲 It made me so stressed every time she came round.
Heather Fetterly I think friends would truly not care... I do this if my in-laws or my clean obsessed dad comes over. Lol
I agree!
Yes! And spray the curtains near the door with febreeze or something like that, and throw on the coffee maker so the house smells even more inviting 😁 I also turn on the kettle for those who want tea. Awesome video!
I have company coming over in about an hour. Yet I'm sitting here watching this video. 😅
I literally stopped cleaning, to watch this 😂😂
Patty Estrada same!
Me too!!!! 😂🤣😂
Patty Estrada same!! Haha this is what I do on my ‘break’ from cleaning
I love watching speed cleaning videos, yet they never inspire me to actually get off my ass to clean my house. I'm just all ''yes, that's so soothing, so satisfying..'' nodding in agreement, surrounded by literal trash. Yet, I feel an (unearned, clearly) sense of accomplishment watching these types of videos.
The vacuum line tip kills me. What?? Haha
AFTER the vacuum lines tip killed me! LOL ^_^ I was like where the hell is the like button?! She's hilarious
Or you can hide those basketS in the car... Nobody checks your car 😉
Omg thats what I do lol
So smart!
We had so much stuff in our car when we were selling out house! Haha 😂😂
We did all our viewings in one day and even took down my sons cot.
Too much work. I love throwing things into the bathtub. Well, the one with a shower curtain. It does not work when the shower has glass doors. Sigh...
Stuffing dirty dishes in oven works too! 😜
Them: "Hey are you home? I'm in your neighborhood."
Me (lounging on the couch): "No, sorry. I'm visiting my mom right now. Won't be back until tonight. Sorry!"
Ronee Renee good I was planning on coming over tonite😂😂😂
Me every single time 😂😂😂😂
The time my house is cleanest is when I know I have people coming over 😂😂
Some of your videos don't apply to my life cause I'm 56 years old and my kids are grown. But I usually watch because I always enjoy your comedic expressions... you're a modern day Lucille Ball!!!
Yes!! Another Lucille Ball
Aww thanks for making my day! ❤️
@lucy Carl, thank you for this great comparison, you’re so right!)
😍
But you still remember those days...am I right?!
I love how you’re showing this with a completely calm house as I’m doing all this my toddler would be running around behind me messing it all up again 😂🙈
HA! That is possible, too!
If you come over unannounced I guess I'm not home. Even if you hear me and my kids lol
Oh my goodness! The worst is when someone rings the doorbell and I don’t plan on answering, but my kids go to the door and peek around the curtain on the door window at the person! I’m like whisper-yelling to them to stop! Lol!!!
Same!
@@anicholeRL9861 😂😂 i agree. My son shouts out to tell me someone is at the door.
Omg my daughter is bad with this. I cant stand opening the door in gear of it being a stranger (i dont like talkin to ppl i dont know 🤷) so when someone knocks and im not expecting anyone i wont answer the door but my 4 y/o will scream someone is at the door 🤦
Marilu Moser open the door and say “I’m not here”. And shut it.
Your forgot to say, "Please excuse the mess." (At least that's what we always say in the South.)
Melissa Shows we say that here in Arkansas after cleaning our parents yet at us saying this houses need to be spotless in less than 10 minutes
What has helped me over the years, put away items right after use, load dishwasher when sink is full, dry mop wood floors everyday, doesnt take long, lysol wipes and having paper towels and cleaner to clean washrooms everyday.
Am I the only paranoid person who looks behind every shower curtain to make sure there's not a serial killer behind there??? Yeah putting the clutter basket in shower wouldn't work for me...
I look because I'm just curious 🤣🙈
Your not alone.
Your not alone!!!!!
I'm the same way!
Yep!
I love love how honest this is. It’s not like clean faster this way… it’s “hide everything!” Panic!! Hahahaha
You are always so theatrical and I love it! 😂😂😂 & that couch rag line tip, LOL good one!
Please Jordan, don’t ever apologise for your child making noise. He’s a blessing and every sound he makes is a pleasure to hear. You’re an amazing person, I have watched every single video in the last 6 months. I wish I could buy your program. Living in the uk on state disability money is not easy x
Aww thanks for the love for my sweet little babe!
Nope! If you come over unannounced you get what you get 🤷🏽♀️
👍👍yep
Candice Garcia 😂 Rt especially when you have kids
I always say tht yet I still do a quick panic clean when it really happens lol
Sameeee! Love me as I am!
Same here!!
I always light the candle or start the diffuser as soon as I know guests are coming that way the scent has time to fill the home!!
Anna R Same! 😊
Good idea!
LOVE THIS!!! Watching you reminds me of when I was little, we'd have cleaning races during the commercials of our tv time.

Love that idea!
My biggest hang up is the sink full of dishes. I cant believe I never thought of not actually cleaning them and just hiding them in the dishwasher! You are a genius!
One of my kids would open the dishwasher and say "these clean?" Then the whole gig would be up.
To me, the karate chop pillows always look like the cat was just sitting on them.
That's a fun analogy.
Thank you! I teach piano at home and some crazy days I'm like OMG MY STUDENT WILL BE HERE IN 15 MINUTES! These are just the tips I needed to make my home presentable. 😘
Man if people ambush me with a surprise visit, they get what they get! Vacuum lines be damned lol
I once had my mother in law come over (no phone call). I left her in the lounge room with my hubby, asked if she would like a drink went to the kitchen threw all the dishes on a sheet pan and straight into the oven. Completely forgot that night turned on the oven and all the plastic’s melted. 🤣🤣🤣
OH NO!
The 50’s housewife manual actually uses the basket trick. After she showers and gets dressed for the day she is supposed to grab a basket and pick up all of the clutter.
Mandi Romney apparently someone came up with one lol
You crack me up. I know your family requires a lot of your attention. You inspire me and Lord knows I need it very often. I keep coming back here for more motivation.
Hide everything in the shower - HA! I love it!
My solution: No one comes over.
Gosh the amount of people who day no to last minute visits.you may just be missing out on something special.they can be fun.and there are unexpected people i havent seen in years who showed up and was so glad to see.most even clean people do quick last minute things to make our home feel welcome
I freak out and sometimes I would just say I’m not home🤫
Keepin' it real! 🤣
Ok I’m cracking up at hiding stuff in the shower 😂😂🤣
I once looked in a friend's shower and discovered smelly disgusting old bags of baby diapers
@@RockStarWorkingMom Aaaaaand- never again you will look!
Naomi-Joy Blackhall gross!! Lol who hoards dirty diapers?!
@@RockStarWorkingMom ewwww
Just keepin' it real! 🤣
I’ve LIVED by your speed cleaning hacks. I’ve NEVER thought to just do it for myself! Lovely!!!
I'm a professional housekeeper I'm loving the fake vacuum lines on the couch YAS girl 👏👏👏
I'm guessing you're guests will check everywhere after this video 🤣🤣🤣
😂
Anasik Arakelian she's gonna have to throw everything in the shed now 😂
Exactly!! Uh oh.. her secret is out.. 🤣
Just don't forget the towel on your shoulder!!😂
You are my BIBLE!!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. You made me budget,meal prep,organize and clean like a pro. Thank you and God Bless you and your Family 🥰
Your so clever. Its nice to see someone who real and shows their place is lived in like the rest of us. Thank You
I once put a box of dirty dishes in the garage LOL
Bandgazebo hahaha!!!
🤣🤣🤣
Some guests are nosy and do look in showers...just saying😏
I do that 🙈😂😂😂😂
I always check that it is empty...
I wanna see what bath products they use. 😆😄
eizhowa lol me too! Especially when I go over a friend’s house who has kids. Never know if they’re in the bath playing hide n seek.
I look. I'm too curious. What's here? Clean? Dirty? Bath toys? Shower products? Like a little curtain of mystery

In Germany usually nobody does this! It is deemed to be inpolite.
At most you have to ask "May I come over?" or "Do you have time?"..
I have found my queen! “Hide that stuff in a laundry basket”! THESE are the kind of tips I need. I already know how to clean. Your website is an extra ultra bonus!!! THX!
I once had an important guest come over and I had a ton of dirty dishes. I did not have a dishwasher so I really did load them all in a basket and put them in the shower.
After then left I went to get them out and went, wait. I'll just rinse them right HERE. I'm terrible. I know.
You're my new best friend 😂🤣
But also a genius
Lol, this is great!
I did this too!! We could be soulmate best friends I think!!!!🤣😂🤣
Catherine meet your tribe😁
You have the best advice I've ever seen on UA-cam
Girl I’m LAUGHING because I’ve done some of these random hide away hacks 🤣🤣🤣🤣. “As long as no one opens the oven or dishwasher, we’re good.” Loved it!
🤣
I love that you added "do it for yourself". I think as SAHM's we can get a little "shop blindness" and not notice the chaos that has slowly been accumulating over the day. I'm always horrified if I duck out and then return and see the mess!
I always light up a candle with sweet scent like vanilla or cookies on the stove...it makes look my kitchen squeaky clean and cozy
Pamela Giacca not sure if they still have it, but bath and body works had a candle that was “French baguette” scent and I put that on my kitchen so it always smelled like I was baking bread😂🙌🏼
I’m pregnant with my first right now. Moms like you give me hope! Omg I want more kids asap and I want to be as awsome as you are! 😂 great tips by the way. We have a much smaller home than you do but sometimes it can still be overwhelming when you have a lot to do. Greetings from London UK! ❤️

I refuse to be pressured to have a spotless house just for someone popping in. You know I have 3 kids. You can see the clutter and deal with it or I don’t need you in my life.
I'm gonna listen to this so many times to get this into my brain as much as i can! Hey Jordan, I'm kaitlyn from New Zealand and i love your videos. I suffer from mental health issues all due to trauma and my one bedroom house has pretty much always been in shambles since i moved in in February. Thanks for all your helpful videos filled with practical tips and tricks!! You are awesome. God bless xx
So glad this has helped you. Hang in there! ❤️
When her mess is your goals lmao
I love her energy!
Hahaha. That's so funny. We made a surprise guest clean with me a few weeks ago too. That shower trick is completely unique though. 😄
One thing I love about small Japanese apartments is you normally don't go over to people's homes unless it's a actual house because apartments aren't soundproof. So we gotta keep things quiet so quests is a no no. Going out it's pretty cheap and lots to do so we normally go out to meet friends. Some friends maybe in the area and come by to pick you up but there's no entertaining at home. Less hassle.
Hubby and I call this cleaning, doing the flight of the bumble bee

I'm in Scotland (UK) and stumbled across your channel. Absolutely love it!!! You are so down to earth and natural. X
I love having visitors they force me to clean 😂
These are great tips! 😄 One that works really well for me is I do a quick blast of some lemon scented cleaner on the inside of my front door and so a quick wipe down.. Makes look shiny and gives a fresh scent at the door. 😁
Love it!
Them: "I'm coming over in 15 minutes"
Me: *Sitting on couch* "I'm not home"
I wish I would try to rush around to clean for someone who doesnt have the decency to gave me a few hours notice. 🙄
Bathrooms are the hardest thing for me. And with pets and couches, love your tip on vacuuming the couch look!

if you text me 15 min in advance you will be told no or can it be later... no one that really matters to me would do that they know we have 2 disabled people and kids in this house. they wouldn't do this. but this is great advice. thank you.
Your so honest. And I totally agree with what you say here. From, mum of four from the UK 🇬🇧
