You are such a strong woman, even in the midst of going a health challenge, you still bless us with this peaceful videos and from your voice I can feel your upbeat energy. Thank you Benita, 🤗💚you remind me that ' it's all in the way you look at things.
I think one of the things I most appreciate about your channel is that you’ve obviously been cultivating this aesthetic and lifestyle carefully over many years. It’s inspiring to see someone who has carefully collected pieces over years, and helps me imagine what living like this long term will look like, and how it can be sustainable. (In contrast to younger youtubers who have only begun curating this kind of life in the last few years.) Feel free to ignore this, but I would really enjoy a video from you that’s something like “lessons from X years as a minimalist”
Lovely, just lovely! So glad to hear you’re on the home stretch now. I’m sure your positivity helped in your recovery - 100k subscribers coming your way soon! 🌼💛🌼
Hi Benita, so glad to see that you are done with chemo and almost at the end of your treatment as a whole! This video brings me back to the days of your blog - I used to love your cleaning posts. Thanks for the motivation! xx
Dear Benita, only you can make a video about cleaning beautiful. I am very visual person and now have an additional motivation for my own spring cleaning!
I watched this episode in the early hours of this morning. Late afternoon, I rearranged & cleaned my combined lounge and dining areas. So relieved it's done. Sat down and admired my own work. Then re-watched this episode. A happy day :)
It's so good to hear that you're doing better health-wise. I noticed in the video you seemed to have a lot of energy. Keep us up to date on the surgery and radiation. We all care very much!
You made cleaning windows with the steamy thing, whilst balancing on a stool and crouching, look effortless! Then again minimalism is all about balance. Glad to hear you are keeping well.
This is so wonderful. It's also so motivating to continue to minimise my possessions. Spring cleaning in my house takes so much longer because of all the stuff I need to clean!
Hello Benita!! Why are cleaning videos so therapeutic to watch! I love them! It’s after 3:00am here in the United States & I could get up & put everything out on my patio & start spring cleaning in the dark!! 😆 You look great & it’s wonderful to see you doing so well! I’m happy for you that your treatment & one last surgery is coming to an end!! Sending prayers your way & a big hug from me & happy spring!! 🌞🌼🌞
I love how your cat climbs straight on the clean and tidy sofa. 😁Our cat always used to wait until we made the bed in the morning and then climbed under the duvet so perfectly that only a hump was visible in the middle of the bed, the rest of the sheets stayed straight.
Great trick with getting the comforter cover over the comforter. Love the interesting camera angles just for fun while cleaning the cabinets. This apartment feels like home to me now. Much love and good health to you, Benita. Great video, looking forward to warmer days.
Just what I needed to really make my day! Your videos are so soothing and such a balm in this busy messy time. Spring where I live, in the U.S. Pacific Northwest, is also mercurial - sometimes warm and sunny, other times still quite cool and rainy. But watching your cleaning videos is always virtual sunshine. Thank you for consistently sharing with us! ❤️
So happy to hear your good news! Stay well and keep these awesome videos coming! Had to laugh at kitty going under the blanket right after you cleaned! My cats love to do that with my quilts...gotta love them!
Hello Benita, I am so happy to learn that you are doing well. Another lovely video and you make cleaning seem so peaceful. I love how the cat came out of your walk in wardrobe to give the bedroom an inspection after the cleaning, and also how your newly cleaned sofa was thoroughly inspected under the blanket. They are so inquisitive and it seems you passed the test with flying colours. 😀
About the marble, I've been cleaning our untreated Carrara marble surfaces with Marseille hard soap for years and with time it naturally seals the surface so that when splattering occurs (tomato sauce, curry, that kind of horror-splattering) it doesn't stain the surface.
It is so relaxing and inspiring to see your beautiful minimalist home! Spring clean video is so inspirational. Unfortunately, my husband and 3 year old son do not support me in my attempts to be minimalist and keep things tidy. But I will keep trying to introduce a very moderate minimalist way to them)
I’ve never seen a duvet cover put on that way before , but it’s genius ! I usually wrestle and struggle with mine . Only to shake it over snd over until I finally give up with a less then perfect duvet . You make cleaning snd tidying up look effortless. I actually find cleaning relaxing , so I really enjoyed this video ,.
Hi from the Southwest US, just thanks for this reminder. Around here, there is only a week or two when it's comfortable to do all this extra stuff, and that is RIGHT NOW! In a week or two all I'll want to do is lounge and get through the heat. Some nights never drop below 95 F ...but, it's a dry heat. So having some extra inspiration, I feel armed enough. Thank for this! Your place is perfect, mine chaos, but the Skandi and Scot in me loves your style. Crin
I loved seeing your cat adjust your arrangement of the blanket and cushions on your sofa....so cute. 🥰😂 The feeling after cleaned and aired everything thoroughly is such an amazing feeling. It's so satisfying to sit back and relax, admiring all the hard work and feeling the satisfaction and contentment it brings. Thank you for this Benita, stay well. 💞😊
I just LOVE your videos! You are so calming for me to watch and you inspire me in so many ways!!! I just ordered the window cleaning kit. What an endorsement that you travel with it!
Happy you are going well. Continued positive vibes. Inspiring spring clean especially since we have been doing a few updates to the inside of our home. Things are a wreck for the time being. I look forward to getting to my windows. Going to check out that product you mentioned. Take care Benita.
Beautiful ❤️ Doesn't spring cleaning feel great once you're finished and everything looks sparkling clean and feels and smells fresh 🌼 Wishing you well from Southern Ontario 🙂🍁
Wonderful!! Sending you love and best wishes, Benita. I so look forward to your great videos that I stop anything I am doing and treat myself with watching them on the spot! 🌷
Very motivational. There were things that I didn't think to clean. I'd like to get that window cleaner. It's good to hear that you're doing well. I'm keeping you in my prayers and thoughts.
Thank you for the helpful cleaning hints. I too use vinegar to clean. Loved your daffodils. Your cat was so funny climbing under your throw, after you placed it so neatly. I really like your grey throw mats you have. Take care.
So happy to see you, another good moment with you and your adorables cats !!! Thank you, your a real source of inspiration. Send you sun and wish you a nice spring from south of France, bises à vous et aux chats😘👍😉
This is when living in a decluttered/minimal space really pays off- cleaning becomes so much easier, almost enjoyable! Cleaning around piles of belongings is never fun 😳 Charity shops reopened in Scotland on Monday so was finally able to take my bags from latest decluttering session then tackle my second round of Spring cleaning. Pleased to see you looking well 🌷
I don’t know why but I really think you move like a jungle cat 🐈 I also like the way you clean your apartment. Very inspiring indeed. Greetings from Hong Kong 🥰
So happy you are feeling well and your chemo is over! You look wonderful. Now after watching you clean so thoroughly I need to get off my chair and think about doing the same. As Scarlett O'Hara said in "Gone With the Wind"..."I'll think about that tomorrow"!
I have been 'thinking' about ordering the round white Componibili storage unit for about the last 10 years or so.....let's not jump into anything here (haha!) So, I have just hit the 'order' button and I should get it on Friday. Done and dusted!!
Wonderful news❤Like your cleaning it's one step at a time, pacing and sticking with it. Very inspiring, Benita. I'm in the middle of spring cleaning too and wishing for built-ins😆Less floors to clean! 🤗 Best to you❤🌍
I love this channel! There is just one thing that I was concern about doing, and it is, to use essential oils in the dryer. The essential oil can cause fire it can build up over time and if if you are using the hot setting can be a problem. Unless you’re using the cold air setting to dry your clothes, I wouldn’t take a chance. Thank you so much for being an inspiration. ❤️
If you're looking for sources, I've tried to collect as many as I can here: www.benitalarsson.com/sources
Just a quick health update. Chemo's all done, one more surgery coming up and some radiation in June but all's well!
So glad to hear Benita! hope the side effects were tolerable.. stay well
Take care lady 💖❤️
Very happy for you Benita!! What great news for a true spring! Thanks for sharing the update.
Sending you much health and love dearest. I am happy you are getting better. Take good care and rest xxx
🙏❤🙏❤
Who is procrastinating cleaning by watching Benita clean? 🙃
Haha, it’s supposed to give you motivation!😂
✋✋
Guilty 🤭
You are such a strong woman, even in the midst of going a health challenge, you still bless us with this peaceful videos and from your voice I can feel your upbeat energy.
Thank you Benita, 🤗💚you remind me that ' it's all in the way you look at things.
Aww, you’re so sweet, thank you!
I love that your kitty decided to enjoy your freshened up couch just as soon as you were done. 😀
Haha, yes she enjoys trying out everything I tidy 😂
Still my favorite UA-cam channel ❤️
Thank you so much!
Definitely true!! Thanks Benita!
The kitty climbing under the blanket on the sofa - star of the video! 😂
Don’t you love them and when the lil Tux cat was supervising. Super cute
This is a great demonstration of how much easier it is to clean when one is a minimalist.
This couldn't have been better timed. No matter what the video is about, I needed your uplifting voice today. Time to relax.
Thank you, that's so sweet of you to say!
I couldn't have said it better myself! ❤️
@@BenitaLarsson You're always welcome!
I know I came over, hoping to find an upload.
I wholeheartedly agree. I love watching her videos. She inspires me.
When you mentioned the blanket on the sofa to keep it clean...priceless when your cat crawled under it . Love your videos. Very motivational.
Wife: What did you do today? Me: I watched Benita do her Spring cleaning, of course!
And you did a great job!😂
😂
Professional development

I enjoyed watching your cat sandwich itself between the couch and cozy blanket !! Hi from Australia 🤗
Haha, so typical, right?!😂
That cat undoing your lovely cushion / blanket display 😀🐱
Yes, little Mini rascal 😂
Love the cat getting under the blanket. Thanks human for making my space more clean and comfortable cats rule 😂
I’m so just the humble servant😆
🇬🇧 Your Cat made me laugh going under your blanket after you laid it so neatly 😂 good to see you looking so well 💐
Haha, so typical, right?
It’s comforting knowing you live in Sweden. Being comfortable and taken care of during this time is essential. So inspirational
Your careful choice of finishes and editing of furniture/possessions makes your cleaning routine a joy to watch! Always learning, thank you!
Thank you so much!
I'm amazed that you can make the bed without the "assistance" of your cats; mine offer to help every time :)
I was lucky on this day !😂
That's the best part of making the bed🐱🐱🤪
@@anaalves3658 I don't think I know how to make the bed without their assistance :)

Yes, I can’t quite believe it!
Glad to hear you are doing well!! My reward for a day of cleaning is watching you clean! 🥰
Haha, I love it!
Weekly clean, I've no idea what that is. I find taking my glasses off resolves all of my cleaning issues 😂😂😂
Lucky you! I still see too well 😅

OMG, *love* when the kitty went up under the blanket!!! 😍
So typical right?! 😂
Why is it so relaxing to watch you clean? 😊❤️
Kitty seems happy you left out the blankets.
Re-watching this and had to stop half way through to go clean my fridge 😆 Thanks for the motivation, it's needed it for a while!
Such a pleasant take on spring cleaning! My favorite part is when sweet Mini crawls up under the blanket. 😻
So typical 😂
@@BenitaLarsson It's part of her job description. 😅
Your clean, tidy home makes me feel so peaceful. I love the part of the kitty climbing under the blanket, so cute! 😍
As a visual merchandiser - I admire your thoughtfully designed life. A life that looks and feels beautiful, is one you want to have a part(y) in.
Thank you so much!
I watched this episode in the early hours of this morning. Late afternoon, I rearranged & cleaned my combined lounge and dining areas. So relieved it's done. Sat down and admired my own work. Then re-watched this episode. A happy day :)
I’m so happy you found some inspiration!
🇩🇪 glad to hear about you health situation. i saw the video without sound. wonderful my family is netflixing.

Sounds like the perfect thing to do!🙌🏻
Classic cat under the blanket in the couch! 😍🤩
It's so good to hear that you're doing better health-wise. I noticed in the video you seemed to have a lot of energy. Keep us up to date on the surgery and radiation. We all care very much!

I can almost smell the fresh clean home and feel the sun on my face🪴🌞! So calm, beautiful, and simple. Love that new pillow on the couch too💕
Thank you so much!😊

Both my kitties enjoy messing up my bed just when I’ve made it 😂
And the cat in the sofa is so cute 🤗
The kitties are the cutest 😊
Your videos are so lovely and inspiring. Your voice and visuals are so calming and enjoyable to watch. ❤️
I’m so glad you enjoy them!
Aww the kitty just after cleaning. 🥰. I keep enjoying ur videos 😊
So typical, right?!😂
Great trick with getting the comforter cover over the comforter. Love the interesting camera angles just for fun while cleaning the cabinets. This apartment feels like home to me now. Much love and good health to you, Benita. Great video, looking forward to warmer days.

My cat crawls under blankets like that too! So glad your cancer treatment is going well. Thanks for the update.
Kitties are quite predictable aren’t they😂

Yes, my supervisors approved!😅
Your home is never dirty, it is always spotless!
Not true though. With two cats who can go outside in the flower beds, my home is never really clean 😂
@@BenitaLarsson we have a dog so I can relate

Its meditative for me to watch your videos. This interior cleansing is a game changer for creative types-TY!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Such a good job! Your apartment is all shiny 🤗 Love your wooden floors, they're beautiful
I love the look of the floors but to be honest next time I’m going for varnish instead of hard wax. They’re pretty high maintenance.
Happy you are going well. Continued positive vibes. Inspiring spring clean especially since we have been doing a few updates to the inside of our home. Things are a wreck for the time being. I look forward to getting to my windows. Going to check out that product you mentioned. Take care Benita.
One day up and 476 comments. Benita, we missed you.
Beautiful ❤️

So so great!
*Makes couch and blankets perfect*. *Cat ruins it immediately*. Story of my life! :)
Good to see you Benita. All the best for your next op. Love your cats, especially when one got under the blanket on your clean lounge. 💖
Happy spring Benita - trust you are well xx
Thank you! You too!

Glad to hear you are doing fine. Hope you will recover fully. Thanks for your video. Take care👍
Thank you so much for watching!
@@BenitaLarsson thank you for sharing Benita😊
Every time I watch your videos I say to myself how much I love your floors. And kitty under blanket was sooo cute!
The floors are quite high maintenance so next time I’ll get a matte varnish instead of hard wax!
👍I'm encouraged! Thank you for sharing, Benita.💚
I love spring cleaning. Thanks for this inspirational video.
Yay! I’m so glad you like it!
That's excellent news, Benita. I have never commented before, but will take this opportunity to say how much I enjoy your videos. Be well.
Thank you so much!
Always look forward to your videos. Another great one ☺️ glad you’re doing okay!
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Your window cleaner looks very helpful indeed! 😻😻😻
I love that thing so much!
I have one too but haven’t got the right spray ... what do you use to spray onto the windows? Thanks 🍓
So calm and motivating at the same time.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it
You beat me to it...giving a health update! You do look great
Thank you, I feel really good!

This made my soul happy. The month of April is always my deep clean month!
It is THE spring cleaning month for sure. It’s when all the dirt comes out to say 👋🏻👋🏻
I don’t know why but I really think you move like a jungle cat 🐈
I also like the way you clean your apartment. Very inspiring indeed. Greetings from Hong Kong 🥰
Ooh, a jungle cat! I like it!🐯
Lovely , makes me want to spring clean and must clean my windows xx
So happy you are feeling well and your chemo is over! You look wonderful. Now after watching you clean so thoroughly I need to get off my chair and think about doing the same. As Scarlett O'Hara said in "Gone With the Wind"..."I'll think about that tomorrow"!
Thank you so much!
I have been 'thinking' about ordering the round white Componibili storage unit for about the last 10 years or so.....let's not jump into anything here (haha!) So, I have just hit the 'order' button and I should get it on Friday. Done and dusted!!
