7 EXPERT CLEANING TIPS YOU NEED TO BE USING: ua-cam.com/video/-C-ic2H24OU/v-deo.html
Everyday: doing the bed, emptying the dishwasher that I started the night before, taking out recycle/trash, vacuuming, wiping dinner table and kitchen counters. These only take 20 minutes total and they have such a BIG impact. Everything else I do weekly or just wipe as needed, also there's a "tidying up after you used it" policy at my home so it never really gets messy.
my favorite Melissa quote since I have started watching this channel - "Mess begets mess"...it really helps me to take 1 min to wipe up the toothpaste, rinse off my dish, switch the laundry, put my clothes in the hamper, or just put things away as soon as I am finish using it
Loveeeeee to upkeep, so it doesnt build up. When its out of hand my anxiety reaches high
I definitely prefer to tidy than actually clean! So long as the place looks nice and neat (currently living with roommates) then I am happy.
When Melissa mentioned strengthening the latter (cleaning for me), I shook my head no haha, but I'm working on it because I do not like cleaning after my roommates, but a clean space is important for me :)
Kitchen is the FIRST thing - before bed. It really helps to wake up to a fresh clean kitchen starting the day. I start laundry so it can be running simultaneously to whatever else I’m doing. We have so many projects going on now but if those two things are managed first - I can get through the morning... or at least until lunch!
Tackling the basement this month. Ugh...
Same here with my basement!
Agreed! I like to make sure the kitchen and/or tidy all day. For me, it’s better to clean as I go. I use a dish, I rinse the dish and put it in the dishwasher. I clean and wipe down as I cook. I go through the kitchen, I rinse whatever dishes I find in the sink that the kids or the spouse left in the sink pressed for time
I wash and fold at least one small load of laundry every day. This habit has changed my life!
I wash, dry, take off the line and always put it away straight away. It does make for better organisation.
Why would you wash a small load and waste water?
@@Fairytale268 a decent washing machine adjusts to load size so it should use less water.
Yes! I cannot stand dry or wet clothes left in the machine. I have asked my husband NOT to do laundry because he forgets to change from one machine to the other... I do a load or two per day!
@@antoniabaker7770waste water and electricity.
Very refreshinging to see a beautifully decorated home that isn't farmhouse! Love it!
Lmbo I thought it was just me- can’t wait for that trend to fade out.
@@ADDrecords I like It fine. I like pieces here and there. But when every representation of a beautiful home MUST have Rae Dunn and the white/grey world.
Everyday: bed made, all dishes, roomba the house, kitchen countertops and cat’s litter box
Those are my same everyday cleaning activities also!
@@stephanietiller4031 .....Ditto!
Same
100th like 😌
What's roomba?
The dishes done before we go to bed & making the bed before I leave for work. If I come home to either of those things not done it sets me on edge the rest of the evening.
I love your chill vibe and that you don’t feel the need to do really fast paced editing with all sorts of different music and like really wacky stuff! Thank you so much for a literally just keeping it real
Family of six here. I always do a load of laundry and the kitchen table. Also, doing dishes after EVERY meal instead of waiting until the end of the day was a real game changer for me.
My daily tasks are: dishes& counters, put away living blankets, make bed, put dirty clothes in hamper. It's pretty minimal because we don't mind if it's not clean every day so long as it's tidy. On the weekends we vacuum and dust and do laundry.
Same as my daily routine Erin. Did you know we are very clean people? 🌸
This is ours too except throw in a load of laundry if needed
Very similar to our routine, daily tidying and weekend cleaning.
I’m definitely a person who cleans/disinfects. My husband hates clutter, I don’t care about clutter at all. A video series on how to become more like the opposite “cleaner” type would be awesome!!
That's a really good idea Kathy, thanks for sharing :)
Oh thats perfect!!!
Please a video on how to transform one'self into what is needed = to become a "cleaner" or a "tidyer"!
Can it be relativly pain -less?"
Have you tried norwex environmental cleaning cloths? It’s the most amazing product I’ve ever had ... cleaning with water only... no chemicals
@@elizabethbrehm8917 There are natural cleaning products. Cleaning with just water is very unsanitary. Especially if u have kids or pets or just live with another person
@@tiacuppe6681 norwex products contain materials to eliminate bacteria, so it's not gross like you are thinking. Just fyi.
I have been waging a personal war on clutter in the past year. Less clutter makes it easier to clean. I have also delegated certain tasks to my teen sons. They do their own laundry and clean their bathroom every week. One takes out the trash, the other burns paper (we live in the country). Daily I do dishes, one load of laundry (mine and my husbands, towels, sheets, etc), vacuum (we have a German Shepard) and tidy up. It works for us 🙂
Sounds awesome, Jackie. Thanks for sharing!
MIA's (most important areas) was a good tip for me. Recognizing the particular areas that cause me stress gives me a place to start...I am going now to tackle my cluttered kitchen & bath counters.
The half bath that guests use gets checked and wiped down daily. That way I never fret if someone who is over asks to use the bathroom!
I need to tidy horizontal surfaces every day to experience calm. And after doing the quick ordering, I take a deep breath and say I enjoy this. It becomes rewarding on many levels.
That's a really good point about the horizontal spaces being kept neat and uncluttered. If the floors are clear and the tables and counters clear looking, it makes me feel calm and then I feel ok I am going to take the mess behind this step by step. It makes me feel hopeful. :)
I make my bed every single day! It makes my whole bedroom seem so clean. And I never leave dirty dishes in my sink overnight.
Airing out the bed and making it a few hours later, making sure laundry is picked up, and cleaning and disinfecting the kitchen counters and appliances, are things I make sure to do every day.
The one thing I seem to be fanatical about is having clean, disinfected kitchen counters 👩🏻🍳
I am slowly starting to get my energy back! My house is starting to be clean again! So glad I can celebrate these small victories on a channel like this... I was going crazy, having a messy house & nothing I could do about it😫😤😱😭
You are always welcome to celebrate those small victories here :) Thanks for watching!
Totally feel ya, girl! 🎉 Celebrating the victories is so important. So is accepting your limitations and feelings of gratitude for what you Can do. That got me through some tough few years!
My daily tasks are dishes, kitchen, a load of laundry, making my bed and tidying my room (our special needs daughter has her own bed in our room). I vacuum the whole house once a week and sweep as needed. Bathrooms once a week. Postpartum depression was extremely difficult for me trying to maintain our home, so for the last few months I’ve been really decluttering. If we haven’t seen/used it in 6 months we don’t need it, with a few exceptions. I take on one “project” a day, like our closet, or vacuuming and organizing our dresser drawers. It’s finally where I want it! It’s still a pain to maintain with 3 kids, but it’s manageable.
When I have the energy the laundry gets done daily and my kitchen stays fairly tidy. But I struggle with chronic fatigue and sometimes I have a really bad week, or even month, when I just can't keep up with anything. It's as miserable cycle because as soon as I start to feel like I have more energy I start trying to catch up and then I over do it and trigger another round of fatigue.
Yes, you have to be careful not to overdo. My strategy is work 15 minutes and rest. Maybe I only get one 15 minute work period in a day, but then that is better than none.
Sending hugs, I know your pain. 💛🧡❤️
Amen, me too
I wanted to comment the same. I have chronic fatigue as well, from autoimmune diseases. I save most of my cleaning for the weekends when things aren't so busy. That way I can rest when I need to. Plus, my chances of getting help are higher.
I do wash dishes and laundry as needed, also take out trash during the week. I use weekends to get caught up from the past week and ready for the week ahead.
Glad someone else mentioned it.
Amanda lastly I am feeling total exhaustion this morning. No energy at all. Was like this last night. Don't know where it has come from.!!
This may be unusual, but I have to have a clean bathroom sink. If it's grimy or hairy, it's no bueno. I usually wipe it down every day, and it take 15 seconds.
I pick up daily, wash dishes as I use them, vacuum, clean the cat box, make my bed every morning and put any dirty clothes in the hamper. I also keep my bathroom counters decluttered every day. I clean/dust/mop weekly
Daily tasks are: make bed, pickup clothes left on floor, sort Mail, litter box, sweep for dust in kitchen, and since I work from home I am constantly cleaning dishes or putting dishes in the dishwasher!
Nice one. Thanks for sharing!
Getting started on cleaning - for me - is all about taking the first step. Your advice is always motivating!
Thanks for getting us in the best frame of mind to get the job done.
Thanks for watching Susan!
I do both. My family says I have OCD, but I just love everything to feel and look extremely clean.
My friends say that about me as well, but they are slobs.
I hate it when people call someone "OCD" for wanting things neat or organized. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is a mental illness and has nothing to do with cleaning or organization (although someone with OCD could be fixated on that).
@@Nikki-lodeon, I know! I don’t like it either. My bosses have always loved my “OCD.” I clean everything and keep it that way and like a place for every thing and it makes me happy.
I am 50/50. I focus on bathrooms and kitchen for cleanliness since the bugs attracts to moisture/heat then tidy up the rest of the house.
@@quadri87,
I have a little system that has allowed me to keep my entire place spotless. I didn’t even think of it as a system until I saw this video. My kitchen, I clean it as I use it. The fridge, I clean it biweekly- right before I go food-shopping. My bathroom, I clean it every day but once a month, I clean the walls and remove everything from the shelves. My younger daughter keeps her place spotless because she does exactly what I do.
Clutter! My second husband won’t get rid of ANYTHING! Clutter drives me insane. I can live with a little dust or some laundry, but all his clutter has made me feel so defeated that I’ve given up (nearly, mostly!)
If the clutter are items you can sell, do a yard sale.
Kitchen MUST be tidy. NO DISHED, NO CRUMBS on the stove!!
You are my favorite UA-cam lady & for cleaning. I can never forget you. My ex taught me to take stuff that belongs to the kitchen, etc.
My kitchen. Each time I step in the kitchen to make something i have to start with it all clean so I always clean up after each time I’ve finished in the kitchen. Love your videos.
I felt this video was made for me, Melissa is talking to me ( well all her videos I feel are addressed to me). We are a family of two and I struggle with tidying up and maintaining a system. I will clean one day like a maniac and enjoy the result but then within 48 hours it all starts to collapse. Laundry! Its a bane of my existence! I hate it! I can give up clothes altogether and wear leaves just to avoid laundry.
This video WAS made for you! Remember what I said, if you establish your MIAs and make those your daily priorities, your house shouldn't "collapse" after 48 hours 😉
I used to hate doing laundry but after buying a nice looking and smelling detergent/softener/ I do it more often because I enjoy the smells of it.... now folding it’s something else 😂
Wash everyday and you won't have that problem.
@@arleneconorqui4547laundry builds up within seconds for me. I can do a load of washing but adding the additional task of ironing my laundry is where it builds up as I physically cannot fit it in when I have 2 young children running around all day long it's just an impossible task for me any tips?
Laundry is my favorite chore!
Melissa, I have learned so much from you in my late age, thank you. I have implemented and have been very happy some of your recommendations and diy cleaning solutions. Very much Appreciate your professional manner.
Laundry, kitchen and bathroom. Clutter is a trigger for anxiety in my life. 🤦♀️
🙋♀️Me too!!
The 1 thing I always make sure to do is to make my bed. Not all the way tucked in (the cat just pulls it apart) but covers pulled up straight and pillows in a logical place. Makes such a difference for me, especially since that is where I crash when I feel horrible during the day
All your videos are so helpful but this one definitely is the most helpful one precisely because it's not specifying any one method. We can all learn from it and integrate it into our different homes and feel sooo much less guilt about not conforming to impossible standards. Love you Melissa and your hilarious and much needed authenticity
There’s something about laundry that is hard for me- the last part that is. Folding.... I don’t know. I can scrub scrub scrub, mop mop mop, sweep x3, steam x3, wash x3, but folding laundry just makes me sad?? So it’s something I have to work on :c BUT it’s a lot more manageable now that I found ur channel and I’ve been seeing a better fixed baseline all around my house
One Habit I've done is whenever I wash my hands I don't waste a good hand wash, I'll wash a couple dishes while my hands are wet.
Nice one, Ron. Thanks for sharing!
Me too ! This makes life relatively easy when it comes to piling up of dishes
A friend of mine would do something similar. When they washed their hands in the bathroom they'd do a quick tidy/wipe down of the bathroom. I try to do at least the faucet or something. Not as good as her yet, but it helps!
Kitchen has to be clean before I go to bed!
Love your videos! I learned many years ago not to go to bed with anything left on the kitchen counters & sink. It's a great feeling to wake up the next morning and have it Clean. ☺
I totally agree, Lorelei. Thanks for sharing!
Hey Chad - no fair! Let’s see the floor on YOUR side of the bed... way to move the camera 😂. I love that we see “the chair” with clothes waiting to be handled. That’s the story of my life! Who needs a closet when we have chairs! Lol
Melissa - just love these tips.
We wanted to be honest with our readers, Susan! 🤣
I can go for weeks without cleaning my house but I cannot stand unwashed dishes and bags of trash in the house.
My trash can is in the garage lol my son knocked it down once so I moved it out there
I throw out the trash daily, and the bathroom floor, must get wiped down with a sanitizing wipe when you have a senior citizen in the home. 🤦🏽♀️
Stuff has gotten out of control here.
@@lindsaybayless1861 my dog gets into the trash when we leave. I keep having to remember to set it on the deck out back
@@jmatos7872 we're these not one of the greatest additions to our cleaning arsenal?
Oh! Constantly cleaning and tidying where I am at the moment so it never builds up. Tiring but rewarding. Every day: kitchen counters and sink, 1 laundry (a hamper in every room), robot vacuuming and for sure every bed made before leaving the house for work. Only then I find peace 🥰
I'm quite good with the tidying, probably because it is more obvious more quickly. So the living room has to look just right before I go to bed. I hate cleaning, especially floors. Probably because I have back problems. I try to "dry mop" the floors daily, but washing them is the one task I heavily procrastinate on. Also the skirting boards are a big challenge because they were installed with silicone in the gap to the wall and dirt just sticks to them. So it's a job that requires getting on my knees which is quite painful for me.
I try to always bring my food dishes down. I'm struggling with my mental health but even on the days where I can only leave my bed once, I always take dirty dishes down. Cleaning is so much harder for me lately so I can't wait until I'm back to being high functioning enough to consistently meet my old baseline.
I used to throw the clothes I was wearing that day on top of a chair or hamper in the bedroom because they weren't necessarily dirty. The clothes would pile up by the end of the week and I would dread hanging them back up because it would take so long. So I tried the method of putting them away right away. My method is in the morning when I get dressed I leave the hangers out that I took the clothes off of that way I'm not searching for a hanger when I get home, and when I do get home I change into comfy clothes so if the clothes I was wearing out are not dirty the hanger is right there and I just hang them back up. It takes less than 30 seconds whereas a pile of clothes to hang up is much longer. If they are dirty I just throw them in the hamper. By the end of the week I still have a mess free area, clothes are put away, and dirty laundry is ready to load.
I’m 9 months pregnant and nesting hardcore. These videos make me so happy, it’s ridiculous
I have learned from your past videos some of these tips. I needed this reminder.
My den is the worst area. I live alone so it's all my mess. SMH
I have to make my bed everyday and make sure my bedroom looks like a hotel room, it just makes the stress go away. Also, kitchen sinks have to be cleaned and dishes done.
What you are delivering in what the mind of cleanest I’d confirming. Clean how you want your temple to look each day❣️
This is one of your best videos, simply for the message, "find your base, your standard." I love it. I've been using that line for a week now.
Everyday wash front and back porch (we live in Dubai so super dusty/sandy). Clean cat litter. Vacuum. Clean kitchen sink. Unload/load dishwasher. Wipe down kitchen surfaces. Make beds. Do laundry. Fold and put away. Take out trash. Basically :)
My mother says I clean when things are already clean. I do windows, tracks weekly, floors daily. I do dishes as I go.
I find if you do things consistently there are no major tasks ever. My house is always clean yet always full of people. Best invention was the stick vac. I can vac 5 times a day sometimes.
I like this. The most realistic cleaning advice I have ever heard.
Every evening I make sure all the dishes are put away, countertops are wiped down, sink is clean, and kitchen floor has been swept. I am such a mess if my kitchen is a mess! I also love to wake up to making breakfast in a clean, uncluttered space. It sets a great tone for the rest of my day.
The toilet. I keep cleaning supplies next to it and wipe it down every single time myself or anyone else uses it. It’s always sparkling ✨
I am surprised I already do all these things. I was so bad at cleaning and organizing my home years before, but now I always have a clean and tidy home. It all started with a clean sink every night. Than decluttering regularly. Then, everything have a designated place so I know where is every object in my home. Then, a clean kitchen. Laundry every day. Hanghing all my clothes on hangers (This way every time I put something back it has it's place and it keeps a good shape). Every time I use something I put it on back where it belongs. A weekly routine...etc.. it's not perfect all the time, but it's just so much easier now to have a clean and organized home than it was years before.
FIRST!!! 😜
It’s a miracle! Lol
The laundry too
Lol
😂😂😂
Nod to "The Fly Lady" and her advice and cleaning system! The Secret Slob implements her system VERY WELL. Dishes done EVERYDAY and make MY half of the bed! ! I'm still working on DECLUTTERING 🤪
I love the secret slob and her printable cleaning lists. Between her and CMS, I’m on my way to making progress. ✨💫
I love both ladies and their systems too!! Gave me such peace and lowered my anxiety!
With 5 cats and 2 dogs, vacuuming once or twice a day is something that can not be missed!
Nicely said! Though I’m too tired to do my dishes as my husband comes home late and eats and by then I’m exhausted
always a brilliant take on how to get it done. Appreciate your sense of humor with a big dose of reality.
I care more about tidiness. A space can be super clean but if it's messy it causes me stress. Once the space is all tidied up, though, I start to notice the areas that need to be cleaned and then that causes me stress. 😂 In summary, most of the time, I'm stressed. 🤣 LOVED your approach on the topic, btw. Realistic, effective, motivating. The only daily cleaning "checklist" that will stand the test of time. 👍👍👍
I am great about maintaining the laundry, I wish I could say it was the dishes but that is definitely where I struggle.
If you have a dishwasher, the best tip I can give is obviously load dishes directly in there. I have always struggled with dishes (raised by very lazy people). However I moved in with my boyfriend whose very clean and he taught me to load the dishwasher, run at night before bed and wash any big things by hand (pans & knives) takes 5 mins and there’s usually about 3-4 things from dinner. Next morning unload before you make breakfast, also takes about 5 mins and then start the process over. Then you have a fresh dishwasher to load your dishes in for the day and the start of some good dishes habits that are easy to stay on top of. We do it as a team a lot of times so it’s even faster. It’s changed my life, best of luck.
@@shannonm2005 .. what about those who DON'T have a dishwasher 🤔?
@@briannab5296 well as you can see from the first sentence it says “if you have a dishwasher.” My heart goes out to anyone who doesn’t have one, but my comment was specifically meant to be a tip people who do have one. Sorry.
Great video! I've saved this for future reference because, even though we're pretty clean and tidy right now (while my partner and I are both working from home full-time) things may change when we have to go back to the office. I really liked your message about it essentially depending on what you want your personal base-line to be. I like the surfaces to be clear of clutter and wiped clean of dust, no dishes in the sink, and pillows and blankets to be straightened up on a daily basis. We generally reserve "real" cleaning to the weekends: toilets, floors, laundry, general scrubbing, etc.
I make sure my dishes are done everyday. There’s only two of us here and I’m unemployed right now so I only do laundry once a week. Trash is gathered up and disposed of every couple of days. I make sue my floors are swept/vacuumed every day. I don’t mop everyday. Every thing has a place and I make sure I put it back after it’s used. My main problem is dusting. I HATE to dust. I keep the furniture polish and rags sitting where I can just grab them up and get started. But, lol that time doesn’t come as often as I’d like.
My bathroom and kitchen sink, I always leave them clean and I always pick up after myself so the house remains tidy. I have chronic knee and lower back pain so my MIAs are the areas that cause the most pain if I let them go. I think about how much will it hurt now vs how much will it hurt later and recovery time. The key for me is to minimize the amount of time I spend bending and/or getting up and down off the floor (I can't squat or kneel) because those activities cause the most pain and have the longest recovery. So I might choose to wipe down the shower and skip vacuuming because vacuuming doesn't get harder if I let it go but the shower gets significantly harder if I don't stay on top of it.
Making beds, dishes, cleaning up when you have an adult who messes bathroom and have to check the bed sheets for he is incontinent. Can be crazy! Joan Bates
its 9pm and I'm cleaning up my room while watching this 💖
I love the thumbnail Melissa !!
Thank you. I am CONSTANTLY overwhelmed with the house and am often frustrated.
Melissa, I just love listening to all your videos. You inspired me to start tidying and cleaning and the pandemic gave me time to spend on them and slow down.I am a cleaner, my hubby a tidier and I love it!!
❤️
Love your channel... I can't go to bed unless the kitchen is clean....I don't mind a dish or two, but that's it.
This is the best advice for learning how to keep clean I've seen in a video. I appreciate it. Thank you!!
The kitchen is my everyday thing, great video Melissa thank you x
Love it i'll try this tommorow morning my parents will be amazed :))
I follow fly lady for routines...she has examples for all and I have tweaked them to my lifestyle. Also How Jen does it has great videos too of her routines. Melissa luv your vids.
Thank you for another helpful video. My daily habits are laundry for the 3 of us, dishes, countertops cleaned, garbage taken out, putting clothes/hats away, and generally a clutter free house.
Very good video for beginners. I have found Flylady to be an easy system to follow.. Simple morning and evening routine, zone cleaning 15 min daily, 1 hour home blessing each week, perpetually clean home. Super simple.
Dishes are taken care of every night before going to bed. Whether that's washing them, running the dishwasher, or simply putting them in the dishwasher without running it, fine. It's just hubby and I so it doesn't have to be run every day. We're also on a private neighborhood well so we work on conserving water as much as possible. Then also the bed must be made every day - weekends too.
Laundry is also something en enjoy being on top of. As you said... Its fairly easy... And like you my own little R also gets more dirty but I will admit it has improved lot as she is getting older. the outdoor gear however is another story but hey, that means she's having a great time playing outside. 😊
I just got the makers mop with my microfiber cloths and I love them all !!!!!!!! It literally took 15 minutes to wash the walls and wipe everything down. Otherwise it would of taken over and hour. Thank you for such great products.
Thank you for the support!
haha... I usually try and clean one or two things around my house each day but since I'm a full-time teacher and a full-time grad student, I have come to learn that there are going to be days where my house is sort of dirty & I am 100% okay with that! I spend my Saturdays pick up & cleaning my house, then on Sundays I do laundry & make everything up (like my couch & desk) - then through the week, I don't worry about clothes on the floor, or blankets & pillows on the couch, or mail stacked on the entry table - as long as my dishes are routinely done & my trash is taken out when full, then I am a happy camper!
It really is all a personal thing about how you are okay with your house being on a daily basis, I know my house is lived in & to be honest, during the week I don't do much at my house besides sitting at my desk or on the couch working on homework, & I usually will spend 8ish hours laying in bed (maybe I'll sleep for those 8hrs or maybe I will scroll through my phone for 4 & then sleep for 4... it's a toss up!)
Sounds like you've established your baseline and MIAs, based on your lifestyle factors. Cleaning is so prescriptive, and not everyone has the same routine. Thanks for sharing, Caitlyn!
For me is laundry too!! I think it is relaxing 😊😊
Everyday for me is the beds, kitchen, dishes and family room with no toys around (until the little one comes back lol)
Make bed, do dishes, wipe down bathroom sink, toilet and litter box. These are my daily chores. If I miss a day on these it gets really backed up and stressful for me.
I'm a cleaner, so I really need to work on my tidying. I know this but this video has brought it home. Thanks 👍
What a great video!!! The advices are simple but make a difference!
To stay on top of laundry I keep a laundry basket in the room of each person. A full laundry basket pretty much equals one load. (Its me, my Husband and two teens). We each pretty much have a best day to do laundry so it works out that we each do our own laundry on different days. Since I wear dress clothes for work and change, I usually have two loads per week. Everyone else does one. We have a hamper for bathroom towels that get done once a week. I keep a small Dollar Tree bucket in each bathroom and one in my kitchen for hand towels and wash cloths. It really helps keep those from laying around everywhere.
Kim .. i really like the bucket idea! Tyfs.
Dishes! Because bugs in Florida are no joke! Also I reset the common areas of our home before bed every night. I just find that it makes for a more peaceful morning if everything is where it should be and it’s clean and ready. We are not morning people and grumpiness is real when our favorite cup or bowl is not clean or where we can find it.
Very helpful! Thank you Melissa❤
Dishes and clutter are those two things that drive me insane sometimes, I deal with those daily, as well as wiping the kitchen table.
This all makes sense so genius thank you!❤
I am definitely better at Tidying !!! I can’t function without a Tidy Space !
An untidy kitchen gets me all the time, so I make certain that as the day progresses and food is made for meals, the resulting mess is cleaned and assortments put back where they belong.
Great video enhanced by realism! Motivational but not crazy making!
I'm doing quick wiping surfaces in the bath room every night. The house looks and feels like I'm doing weekly deep cleaning every day after this.
Can I ask what you use for this, a wash cloth, sponge, tissue? Would love to have a quick solution for this also as our bathroom can get quite bad 😞
@@izabelamalver6845 ... i personally fill a spray bottle with water and a little bit of dish soap .. spray and wipe with paper towels.
I love those flowers behind you in your kitchen. Tulips I think? So bright and cheery! :)
Every day, the dishes and the cat's litter box!!
Yes unfortunately working from home means dishes MULTIPLE TIMES and I end up doing the cat boxes twice as well lol
