Power Hour Cleaning Motivation Hack
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 гру 2024
- Busy days equal big messes! Tonight I had to choose between the couch and a clean house in the morning. I made up a game with my timer to clean the whole house in one hour - enter the POWER HOUR! Not to be used every day, just for those times when you have a bit of extra energy and want to get something done. This is the ultimate cleaning motivation game - set your timer for 5 minutes and let's clean up this disaster!
Thank you to Tru Earth Platinum Eco-Strips for partnering with me for this video! I am on a mission to reduce plastic waste and be as green as I can with my cleaning!

I bought the strips not long ago and I really like them. Also gave some to my mom to try. Thanks for promoting these or I wouldn't have tried them.
Favorite summer activity is a day at the lake! We usually go with a lot of family, bring tons of food, we hike, we read, we swim a LOT. It's the best.
Campfire & marshmallow roasting with smores! With little kids around, we'll need that platinum detergent to cleanup the sticky mess which turns to dirty reeeeal quick! 🤣
My favorite summer activity is going in the pool with my family
My favourite activity in the summer is time at the park, water park or pool with the kids. 💜
I think that the series of 5 minutes per room also helps because it means you prioritize the most important jobs in each room instead of getting sucked into doing detail-work in the living room while there is still tons of dishes and laundry to do
Dishes
Laundary
Nvr ending chore😀😁😂
I totally agree! I always seem to get pulled to the tiny details when I really need to be tackling the big stuff.
I highly appreciate that you show the real before - especially with small kids. When I see youtubers „cleaning“ their perfectly clean houses I feel even more insufficient. You keep me motivated. Big thanks from Germany!
Favorite summer activity: getting up with coffee to listen to birds wake up and joyfully salute the sun!!
My favorite summer activity is helping old and sick or disabled people to keep cool and safe by visiting them and helping them doing chores they can't do because it's too hot. I love to see their happy faces and having a little talk with them. Today I went to a man 96yrs of age
My secret to getting motivated to clean up my house is watching Secret Slob’s videos! 💚❤️💜🧡
I do exactly the same thing…
@@marianbradley8415 hehe me too and I miss her, wonder when will she return.
You had me at "forgetting laundry 2 or 3 times" I will forever be a subscriber now.
Love how you show how easy this quick clear up can be. So much accomplished in a short time. Thank you.
Thank you Pam!
A stormy day at the lake, snuggled up watching Netflix & a cup of yummy coffee. 🙂
Sounds like my kind of day😊😊
My favorite summer activity is enjoying our 3 season porch. With a friend and coffee, my husband, or a book. Can't get enough of the warm and bright in MN😌
Why was this so satisfying to watch?? Can’t wait to try this for myself. I often find myself moving from room to room because I find something that belongs in a different room and then get distracted in that room for a bit until I find something else that doesn’t belong and the cycle repeats.
Me too
My favourite summer time activity is working in my garden and watching as things grow!
Thanks for the motivation! I have been putting off packing up and decluttering to get ready to sell our house. We've been here 15+ years and the kids grew up here. So sad to leave, but it's definitely time! Seeing you whip through the power hour got me moving, too.
I am so glad to have found another fantastic Canadian UA-cam☺️
Favourite summer activity would have to be camping with my family and extended family.
Fav summertime activity- since my kids grew up, graduated college & flew the coop I struggled. Summers were always based on their schedules & I loved it! Now, I found me :). Summer fishing with my husband. I don’t let myself say no when he asks. It has been a beautiful distraction. Even brought us closer in other “great areas” LOL. Your videos are great! Keep em coming. Gives me a tad more energy. Reminds me of my younger self ! Thank you!
Your 5x5 method has really helped me with motivation! I’ve done it as a strict 5x5 but also gone a little longer. My house is much smaller than yours so sometimes I just set a second 5 min timer for the same room.
Also, I really appreciate your willingness to share your mess!
And I so agree with the 5 min per room idea. I’m pretty good at keeping up with my kitchen but I often get it spotless and then I’m overwhelmed and don’t do any other room. And the mess just builds in those rooms!!
I can relate!
Favorite summer activites are multiple...like pool....going out with kids....camping....just stay outside and enjoy the nature and its beauty...exploring new things....and last but not the least always waiting for your new vidéo uploads ....that actually make up my day ....love you from the core of my heart steph....stay blessed ....xoxo
Picking flowers from the garden and putting them all over the house bringing the pretty inside🙂 Thank you Step for another great video 😊
My favorite summer activity is gardening.
This technique is great! It will really help keep me focused instead of getting sucked into tangent projects in each room.
My daughter, sisters, and I love finding mountains to hike. Love your videos and all of your cleaning advice!
My favorite summertime activity is walking on the beach. I love the early morning watching the sun rise and listening to the waves.
Three hour lunches with my teacher friends (I retired a year ago) in the summer-- so fun!
I live on a lake and enjoy taking slow pontoon boat rides. I do five minute rescues every day. Love having a neat and presentable home.
Our favorite summer activity is camping with our little boys! Its a lot of work but so worth it making those wonderful memories. ♥️
Swimming and Gardening. This video is one of the most inspirational cleaning hacks ever! Tyson!!!
I love sitting outside with a cuppa in the morning in summer listening to the quiet and the birds singing. Great start to a day
I love sitting on the deck with my coffee and something to read or watch. I enjoy the birds, hummingbirds and even the rabbits and squirrels. LolI’ve already switched to laundry sheets but not that brand. I like to think I’m doing a little to help. I love your 5 minute tip and to carry a 🧺. TFS ❤
My favorite summer activity is lounging on a floaty on a lake, just chilling
I’m a teacher so a perfect morning is an early walk by myself to clear my head and listen to podcasts.
My favorite summer activity is sitting outside late at night just listening to all the outdoor nightlife sounds
The Power Hour is something I’m going to try. It’s amazing how much you accomplished! A favorite summer day for me would be camping, sitting with my feet up at the lake with a friend watching our husbands fish for dinner. 🙂
My favorite summer activity is waking up early and taking a cup of coffee out into the garden and just breathing in the new day 🌻
Hey Steph 🤗 THANKS TO YOU and your Weekly Cleaning Schedule I no longer forget laundry in the washer because I list “start laundry” with the a.m. routine and “finish laundry” with the p.m. routine (somewhere between after lunch and before my husband gets home) 😁 I also list “process mail” so as not to get that paper clutter build up 👍🏼 Love what you do... thanks for sharing ❤️ oh... favorite summer thing...ANYTHING OUTDOORS with family &/or friends ❤️🎶😎 (we live in northern Idaho~ almost neighbors😉 ) ‼️
My favorite summer activity is camping! I grew up camping and I am now passing that love on to my 2 little boys.
Watching the flowers bloom, doing my steps in fresh air (7 steps- up & down) while listening to the birds, and seeing the baby deer in my yard.
My favorite summer activity is just being outside enjoying the sun and beautiful weather!
My favorite summer activity is enjoying the longer days and spending the evenings outside with my family. 😊
I would love to see the actual one hour version included an actual beeping timer to work alongside you 😁 ❤️
THIS! I agree 😊
Done! She just posted a video like that. I love it! It makes cleaning fun! 😉
Yes!! Like workout videos have.
Great advice!! I've set the timer and it's amazing how much I can clean and declutter with intense focus and motivation. Thanks for showing us new ways to keep our homes tidy.
My favorite summertime activity is spending time with my family outdoors. Thanks for the opportunity to win the giveaway! God bless!
Oh my word! I just love love “Power Hours” Style Mom XO started this a few years ago & it just the BEST! So glad to see it again! 🥰💗 You are so inspiring!!! I’ve always worked 40-50 hours outside of the home & just recently became a stay at home mom. You are so amazing and such an encouragement!!!
I loved your comment here! The Power Hour is a great "game", as Steph worded it. Also, so glad someone credited Kimberly from Style Mom XO with the original. The timer is a great motivator and so is Steph!
@@srob1349 yes! The timer is great and so both Kimberley and Steph! Loads of motivation 💗
Great video! Just what I needed Steph! Thanks so much. And A Giveaway YAY! I'd say my favorite thing to do in Summer is Camping and having a fire. I'm doing our rain dance now thou as we are in serious drought conditions. And it's working....storms have been finally rolling for a few days. Absolutely loving it!
I love how you talk about how things aren't always done when you plan to. Talking about how there are times when you don't have the motivation and when you forget to switch stuff to the dryer.....that really speaks to me because I always felt bad when I don't measure up to organizers that I watch on UA-cam.
Edit: Love that tub you have!
I swept and mopped the kitchen, hall, dining and living room as I listened to this video. Feels good to check that off the list! Thank you for the inspiration!!
Camping is my favourite thing to do, especially if my grandkids are with us! Great video Steph. Great idea to do a little in several rooms. But, you sure have to move fast!
Thank you my dear for motivating me for a long while now... I'm suffering from a burnout and I'm trying to somehow get on track with your system.
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ❤️🙏🤲
I love to spend my summer at the pool with my 3 kiddos.
I love the Power Hour! This is how I clean.
Love this Cleaning idea!!! In the summer I love sitting at the beach under an umbrella and listening to the waves.
Peaceful!
My favorite summer activity is gardening - or really just walking around and admiring my garden each evening.
My favorite summer activities… picnics and watching your videos!
I've found my fav is our young grandchildren being out of school so they can stay with us. We used to work so much we didn't get to see them much and I was a little worried if we could handle 2 young ones for an entire summer, but it has been wonderful💗 And my greatest joy is knowing when my hubby and I pass on, that they will hopefully remember the special summer they spent with us💗💗💗
Working in our garden with my husband. Watching plants go from seeds to the table.
Hi Steph! Way to go with the cleaning! Our favorite summer activity is for sure , kayaking, and campfires, with family, and friends..🤗❤💕
My favorite all time summer activity growing up was going camping with my parents. Then going camping as a family with my hubby and our three children, when they were young. I miss those great days!
In the summer we really enjoy going boating with family!!! Plus, eating all the fresh fruit. Thanks for the motivation
Love your 5x5 videos, so motivating. We love to take our dog to the dog park in the summer. He has a blast with all the other dogs and we get to chill. Thanks for sharing!
Camping! I grew up camping and we took my son for his first camping trip when he was 4 months old. It's awesome that you and your family camp. Such a good family activity and life long memories.
We live camping, definitely the best part of my childhood too!
My favorite summer activity is going for a bike ride with my husband and son. There's a small lake near our home with a path around it that makes us feel like we're on vacation even though we're only a mile or so away from our house. Our son is a teen now and craves more time with his friends but we still manage to make time for "family time" - which can mean anything these days. I am so grateful we made the most of our time with him - especially in the summer - all these years. Our bike rides together aren't as frequent these days, but they mean so much. Enjoy your children!!!
Sitting outside eating cold watermelon not caring if you get the juice everywhere! Pure heaven!
My favorite summer activity is to just take a book outside and sitting in my patio chair and reading. We were live its supper peaceful and quiet and normally we have nice summer days and there is nothing better than relaxing with a good book.
I love your channel and seriously I have picked a lot of good habits out of your videos. Chores do not seem so hard now and sometimes I feel like I cannot do it all every day, bit now i know that I can just start again where I just left off. I am not mastering zone cleanings nor decluttering yet, but I now know my daily cleaning routing and it has been good enough. This year I am definitely committed to start decluttering more and initiate my zone cleaning. Thank you for all you do!!!!! Sending you love and excited to see more videos in your new home. I am 21 days cleaning challenge with you!
Fav summer activity is going to the movies. I live in Texas and it’s nice and cool in the theater.
Power hour is great!
My favorite summer activity is spending time with my lovely family on the front porch, just visiting, and having tea, or snacks....i have 4 darling granddaughters that add so much fun!
And u are 1 of my favorite UA-cam videos that I love to watch! Always so exciting wen I see u hav posted another 1!! It seems like they dont come near as often as I wish😉lol!

My fav summer activity is working in my garden and preserving all the goodness for winter! 😊
My favorite summer time activity is to send my husband and son fishing. Ha, ha! It's something they both enjoy, and it gives me some time to spend with my daughter.
I LOVE the 5 x 5 power clean. Any time I get off track - this method always gets me back in the groove.
Picking peas with my little grand daughter, who is 3. She shells them herself and loves them. Thanks for the chance
Love walking on the beach at the ocean in my home state of Maine with my two grandkids 💕
My cousins daughter move to Maine last year and she shares pics and videos frequently ... Maine is stunning! I’m always amazed at her pictures
Love this little coundown. Now need to do it myself but oh boy the morning sickness... I am struggling 🙈
For our fav Summer activtiy it definetly is checking out all sorts of water places in nature. Like lakes, rivers, creeks and waterfalls. Dipping those feet in and splashing around while surrounded by natures beauty is just 😍❤️
Swimming !!! We live in Arizona, and love swimming every night in the heated, salt water pool across from our home. We swim all year long here. You are the perfect ambassador for this product ! I love this kind of "game" too. It's so easy, and quick. I think your way of doing it makes a lot of sense. tfs 🥰💐🌵🌷🌼🌞🏜️💗🥰💐🌵🌷🌼🌞🏜️💗🥰💐🌵🌷🌼🌞🏜️💗
Our favourite summer activity is going to a beach especially on the Bruce Peninsula. Nice sand, clear water and gorgeous sunsets!
Favorite summer activity: going to the beach, listening to the waves, and breathing in the air.
Tk some tme off
For oneself alone...
Thats perfect...to hv coffee by oneself..nd stare outside birds chirping..nd no running abt
To do chores in a steady pace
Work wont go anywhere it will wait..for us😢😅😂
I do this every Friday night if I don't go camping and than I do my home blessing. I do have a cup of coffee before I get started of course.
Steph my favorite summer activity is camping with my family. We start on May 1st through Columbus day weekend. I use to go every where but now we are seasonal campers and I love it.
I have six rooms including the front porch or the basement. I'm definitely going to try this with ten minutes per room. Thanks for the tip.
I have 6 rooms too including balcony as I'm in a flat. I'll keep it to 5 minutes but then might go round again for a 5 minute declutter per room!
My favourite summer activity is spending time outside, especially in my little garden. Growing food is so satisfying!
The platinum strips sound amazing!
Our favorite summer activity is going to the beach! And getting to spend extra time with our littles! It’s extra nice since my husband and I are both teachers so it’s an extra long vacay for everyone!
Favorite summer activity - Relaxing near a body of water, reading a good book, or just daydreaming and watching the world go by. Especially at the beach with my lovely mother 💕☀️
Family road trips to visit extended family is always the highlight of our summer! ❤️
Thanks for the power hour game idea, I'm gonna try that this week!
I'd love to try the Tru Earth laundry strips, my favorite summer activity is watching my grandchildren's sports games - we enjoy watching lots of summer softball!
An hour well spent! Favorite summer activity: spending the afternoon outside visiting with my family and playing with the grandkids 😊
My favourite activity Is going to the lake with my 4 kiddos. Had a double mastectomy last week because of breast cancer...your video was a wonderful distraction thank you 😊 fellow Canadian xoxox
Favorite summer activity is hands down camping! The hammock and kayaking call my name every year 😍
I love to go to the family cabin in the summer! Walks with my pup, and enjoying nature!
This is a great video!
Loved this video. This type of cleaning has been a lifesaver. Had unexpected company over the weekend. I had just completed a power clean so no embarrassing messes!!! Yeah.
My favorite activity is camping!
My favorite summer activity is sitting on my patio and relaxing with a nice drink!
I’m SO happy I found your channel!! I’m coming off of hugely life altering experiences and need this consistency and learning how to be accountable…thank you! 💕
Favorite Summer Activity: Heading out to the beach with my grandkids. Love the ocean! I would love to try these Eco Strips. Love your videos!!!
So want to try these! My favourite summer activity is kayaking and water skiing at the cottage - hard to pick just one! Love all the eco promotions and ideas you share - thank you 😊 Also loved the video - definitely a perfectionist so I need to try using a timer more
I’m a teacher so I LOVE summertime! My favorite summer activity would have to be working in and around our hobby farm. Although, this year twin grand boys have changed my priorities a bit! LOVE your channel Steph! I’m a few months into minimizing and have begun a blend of Flylady (thanks to your Sunday’s) and clean mama! Unbelievable difference for our family!
When I get home from work, I love to take my son to the nearby lake. It's so refreshing for us both. It clears my mind and he loves the view.
Wow, you accomplished quite a bit! Great job! I never think to set a timer, then I get caught up super cleaning only one room. I've been enjoying your weekly cleaning checklist, thank you.
I tried Tru Earth for the first time in May, love that it has so little packaging.
My favourite summer activity is gardening. Mostly veggies, perennials and my annual flower pots on the deck. So enjoyable to sit, listen to the birds with coffee on the deck and appreciate nature. And I really enjoy hanging clothing on my clothesline too! Lol.
Waw you did a great job in one hour ! And I appreciate that your house was not already clean before you started your power clean hour 😉 it's a real house with children living their happy life. Very motivating video !
I forgot my favorite summer activity : I love to walk in the moutains with my son, daughter and husband in the south west of France and watch free horses running happily with their foals. It is magical
I love working in the garden every day in the summer!
Thanks for this video!
This was so inspiring! My favorite summer activity is going to the beach and sitting under the umbrella reading a book. The sound of the ocean is so calming!
I'm so glad I found your channel! I've watched a few of your videos already and I can't wait to watch more! I love all your motivation and awesome tips! I LOVE the 5x5 and Power Hour ideas. I can't wait to try it! It will definitely help with staying up on things when you can tackle something in each room. And I love the idea of using the leftover time to go back to a room that didn't get done. I just ordered a cordless stick vacuum and I can't wait to be more productive instead of lugging around my old one. It arrives in three days...I can't wait! I know my floors will get vacuumed WAY more often. Thanks again for your helpful, motivating videos! I love your personality....it's like I'm listening to a friend. Thanks again! From a fellow Canadian! :)
Walking/hikes are probably my favorite activity...followed closely by swimming! Love being in the water so much!
Wow! you got a lot done, Steph! It made a huge difference. This is so motivating. Favorite summer activity - Taking a picnic lunch to the Scioto Mile (downtown riverwalk with 3 parks - in Columbus, Ohio) with my husband.
From Delaware County. Grew up in north Columbus. Hi neighbor 😊
Thank you SO much! I Like the time challenge & the reminding message that it doesn't have to be perfect, it's Progress! It looks great!
I love this. I’m terrible with falling down the rabbit hole and getting deep and detailed in one room.
I’m going to try this!
Thank you.
My favorite summer activity is walking at the riverwalk...so beautiful and relaxing!
