Thank you! I really agree with making things a routine. That has really helped me. And i used to HATE washing the dishes, but once i started to listen to videos while i did so, like you said, it tricked my brain into actually liking doing it! Thank you for being a blessing!
Abby this was SO ON POINT👏🏻👊🏻💖
I have been married for 28 years and a mother for 27 of those 28 years and this is pretty much how I operate the household duties😎 I will admit it took a while(late 30’s) to finally have a workable operation.
We pretty much started out marriage with children and I worked outside the home the first half of our marriage… so it definitely was more “survival” than “planned”😅
But now we are empty nesters and I still have my “Home to do’s” list🙌🏻
I absolutely take pride and find so much gratitude in creating and maintaining a space that is welcoming and comforting to everyone who walks through my front door🏡💖🙏🏻
Btw - You are glowing 👶🏻💙🙏🏻
Love this video! I take care of the house and my fiancé takes care of the property we own. He definitely helps me every night after dinner and when I'm feeling sick as I've had recent health issues he has kept up with the house and the outdoors. I enjoy cleaning and I listen to music or put on a Disney movie I've seen 100 times as background noise. I'm going to buy that book off of Amazon for sure! Thank you Abby for this informative video! 🥰
So glad you enjoyed it!!
I love this. I am a person who loves to clean and that schedule could help alot of people. Also a personal thing I do is if I go on an overnight trip or vacation I do a deeper clean before I leave. That way when my family and I come home it feels relaxing and not like I walk in to a million things I need to do.
I love doing that too!
The thing is - my threshold of "it's now time to clean, because I'm starting to feel uncomfortable with everything being a mess" is soooo much lower than my husband's. Even though we both work and take care of our kid, I feel the urge to clean and make the house look presentable time and time again long before him. But I don't mind it actually - he is so grateful and happy to live in our beautiful home, does small tasks I hand over to him with a smile on his face because he gets to do his part and I can actually take pride in the home we're building. Not to say it never gets annoying, but you can absolutely grow to like it.
I'm quite young myself but I've worked next to many professional cleaners and the number one thing they said to me is that you need to clean in the right order.
1: cleaning tasks that require chemicals to soak and can be going while you do other things (spraying your toilet or bathtub, start the laundry machine etc)
2: top to bottom (start from the ceiling down because dust and dirt always settles on lower spots as you go)
3: tidy before you clean (when everything is in its designated place cleaning is so much easier)
4: wet areas and spaces first (get done with dusting and move on with your kitchen and bathrooms as these are the most time consuming. Also any chemicals have had time to work)
5: sweep, vacuum and mop last (it's the easiest task therefore you can do it last when you're a little tired and any dust or dirt had settled down by now)
This is definitely pretty neat 🙌🏻 . When I clean I get overwhelmed because i dont know where to start and I feel bad because its not all done the same day but this will definitely help and help not stress over what I was nit able to complete 🙏🏻
Thanks for these advice 🤗
I feel so lucky to have a studio apartment. I have a lot less to clean, it only takes 2 hours to fully clean everything, and I do it twice a week.
I would also suggest the FlyLady system it has an app check list and you can look up videos on the basics and it helps to make cleaning more manageable
When I'm cleaning and sometimes get a little (or alot 😅) annoyed at having to be doing it again, I have to remind myself of the Bible verse telling us to let everything we do be done as if we were doing for the Lord, not for man. It helps me to quickly adjust my attitude and show more grace in the things I do.
LMFAO. And men still say that woman and others aren’t being discriminated against, it’s just “gods way”
Love this video! Now that both my kids are in school, I "professionally" clean home for three families. It is GREAT money and allows me to still be able to volunteer at church, school, etc. and still be home much of the time. Some of the best products for cleaning are: Bar Keepers Friend (must for sinks and bathtub rings), really soft linen or cotton cloths for buffing tiles, floors, microfiber for dusting. It took me a long time to want to use (diluted) bleach, but one family had for years and asked me to do so. I am won over; it is frankly amazing in certain areas. Tiny detail brushes are excellent for baseboards and around sink handles/faucets.
I hate dusting with a cloth and spray. So I use the duster on the vacuum, and/or swiffer dusters.
Good advice
Do you have any tips on how you keep the kitchen clean? Thank you for sharing, I like the check list idea, I’ll give it a try.
Fantastic video! I recently made a weekly chart for myself so I get everything done once a week without being overwhelmed. My husband and I split chores a little differently. I do the inside cleaning - kitchen, bathrooms, laundry, etc. He does the outside - yard work, gardening, taking the trash to the road, etc. And he also fixes everything because I can't fix anything. And I iron his shirts!
I love the quote "there is holiness in the mundane." So beautiful!
Abby- Please share some of your favorite podcasts and audiobooks!
My sisters and I dusted baseboards and scrubbed the grout between tiles as punishment.
Okay, so a few of you asked for audiobooks and podcast recommendations, so here are just a couple of mine!
1. East of Eden - the audiobook of this was FANTASTIC. Absolutely recommend!
2. Expecting Better - If you're pregnant, I really enjoyed listening to this.
3. The Simple Sophisticate - I really enjoyed the earlier episodes of this podcast, so I'd scroll back a bit!
4. The Rest Is History - This is a fun way to learn about history.
5. The Classic (Girl's) Guide - Shameless plug for my own podcast :) Subscribe at classicallyabby.substack.com!
I agree
Would you ever consider having your brother on your channel?
The brother had her on his channel once
I hate cleaning, I love cooking. Life isn’t fair lol. My husband does some of the cleaning and I’m glad
Thank you for your tips. Have you found that becoming a mother has altered your ability to stay On top of the duties that you did before baby? I am a stay at home mom of a 1.5 and 6 year old and can barely keep up from the constant messes that the kids make. Do you think the husband should help pitch in more when there are kids involved, even if the mom has taken on the household duties? I am struggling to maintain
Thanks
Thank you so much for this!! I have such a hard time cleaning but if I listen to one of one of my favourite podcasts like Ben’s show should make it a whole lot easier. I was literally cleaning while I was watching this video too!!
You look amazing 😻
You nailed it on the dignity of work idea. Also kudos that this wasn't some stupid ass "life hack" like vinegar and vodka in a spray bottle. The details of how to clean are not nearly as important as motivating yourself to clean at all and to do it regularly. I am really glad that you focused on how to frame the act of cleaning as important, integrated to your life, and again, making it dignified.
Anecdote on gender roles: My mom told me that her Italian grandpa in the 1940s would help with the laundry. He washed all the clothes by hand himself, on the washboard, rinse, but then he always left the hanging out to dry part to his wife, grandma had to do that. Because it involved going outside at that point, and he had to maintain his manly reputation, he wouldn't be caught dead doing laundry in public! LOL But great-grandma didn't mind! She understood that masculine need, but more importantly, her gratitude outweighed his silly want for appearances. He was willing to help, even doing the lion's share of that work, and it was worth the exchange for a little preservation of his pride. So she was up to the bargain, and this was just a household secret forever.
This might be a different conversation after kids come along. But the habit is certain to help.
I was waiting for a video like this from you this really helped thanks 💗😆!
The idea of cleaning as stewardship makes me feel like Faramir, so that's a plusXD
Sounds similar to the fly lady method
That’s what I was thinking!
How to love cleaning: get a Bissell crosswave, dishwasher, roomba that sweeps and mops, gel toilet clings, automatic shower cleaner sprayer, then hire a weekly maid service lol
I do the household pretty much alone. I also go to school for a few hours each day because I want to be able to go to university in a few years (I'm German).
And people always tell me things like: “He's doing *nothing*‽” “You do *everything*‽” “He's such a jerk for not helping you.” “Well, he should at least do *something*” I don't want him to do most of my tasks. He doesn't know how I do them and it brings disorder into my brain when he does them “wrong”.
I mean it’s pretty toxic but if you find it enjoying and it works get it I guess…
The prophecy
I hadn't thought about making a list! I'm typically a pretty organized and clean person, but I NEVER make the bed 😅
These are some great tips, Abby! I’ll have to look into buying that cleaning schedule to help me stay on top of things instead of doing it all on the weekend.
It's so helpful!
I was actually just thinking about this the other day... Idk how to do the cleaning LOL 😂🙈
That "BYE" RIP earbud users
Okay, I have a question, if someone lives with there familie would this video still work for them?, love you abby.
I don't see why not.
Definitely! You can split the chores more evenly among you or switch off weekly so you all get practice at different tasks :)
Yes! Use the book, and give certain tasks to each family member!
@@ClassicallyAbby thank you so much for this and all of your other videos, I follo you on facebook as well but the name I use here isn’t my real one.
I despise corners. When I moved in, the creases of the corners were filthy. They still are. Anybody have tips for corner creases? I like having an immaculate home.
I use something with a somewhat thin but hard edge (ex. a sturdy ruler, a blunt knife even) and wrap a towel around said edge. Then I just use the towel-wrapped edge to scrape dirt and grime out of the corner
@@atlf3357 , thanks!
@@shirleygiordano7627 np! Happy to help where needed
👍👍👋
Hey Abby! I would love if you recommended your favourite podcasts! Great video
I pinned a comment with some recommendations!
@@ClassicallyAbby ohhh okay!
@@ClassicallyAbby i can't see it! :(
I honestly don’t like cleaning. I try my best to keep my place clean. I usually wash my dishes everyday. I usually blast music (reggaethon, bachata, salsa, etc) while I’m cleaning the whole apartment. I live alone so I side-eye myself for leaving dishes in the sink. I get on my own damn nerves!
Dumb question: do you clean on sabbaths?
Cleaning the oven once a month?!
Not once in this video did she clean
Any tips for me since I’m a man so I can’t become totally repressed and dependent on a man and spend my life cleaning his house! The whole situation makes me muy triste!!!
Right now I'm home full time because I haven't been able to get a job yet after graduating college and getting married (starting out in law is horrid). I'm doing all the cooking and cleaning which I'm happy to do, but it's been tougher because I HATE cleaning and it just feels overwhelming. This chart idea seems like it will help divide things and make it less daunting
Love you Abby, would you bring Ben on for one video ?😄
I agree. God gave you your home, respect it like you respect God. 🙏 I also clean to show respect to who I rent from, my visitors, and my cat.
My hubby always wants to help in the house but I enjoy cleaning and homemaking. We are blessed to have good husbands. Why we are made feel ashamed as women for wanting to nest and make a nice home is awful. Because I come from a very academic background, there's people who think I'm wasting my education, but I've never been happier.
as a pro choice lesbian, i personally cannot wait to dedicate my entire life to serving men and cleaning the house for him 🥺🤞
Ditto.
And, bonus: once i organized and color-coded my utensil drawer, it was super-duper easy to find a carving fork that's perfectly suited to the d.i.y. lobotomy i was forever trying to work into my busy schedule of baby-eating and box-munching. Even baked an apple crumb pie now that i'm no longer burdened by my inferior ladybrain.
Sure, it all devolved into my drooling in the same laundry pile of mismatched socks for the better part of three hours, but anything beats those, gasp!, treacherous feminist thoughts.
@@bluegenes2273 i hope one day i can heal from my homosexual desires and fulfill my dreams of heterosexuality and dependence on emotionally abusive men 💞💞
@@av4144 a gal can dream!
@@av4144 You don’t have to. Your sexuality is your own business. But try to heal from your obsession with killing innocent babies.

How is any of this Classic
Liberate yourself Abby, too gorgeous for this nonsense. We can still make this happen🥴
