- New Year and we’re trying out the Flylady Cleaning Method! She has a 31 Baby Step Challenge that I am going to tackle in the next few weeks! I trying this in hopes to keep my decluttered rooms maintained this year!! So many of you have recommended this so I’m excited to start!!

#Hoarders #FlyLady #Clean
The best thing about the Fly Lady System is that it teaches you that you can accomplish a lot just by doing short, ten minute cleaning sessions and rotating the rooms you concentrate on each week.
Or even 2 minutes
I was never a horde but I was messy and can't have anyone over. Fly lady has changed my life and I am so much more relaxed.
You don't know how happy I am that you are trying this, remember that flylady is NOT about being perfect, doing 2 mins hotspot is better than doing nothing at all! Congratulations on completing 7 days! The beauty of flylady also, if you fall off the routine a day, week, or year, you literally just jump back in and continue where you left off! When you focus on decluttering, it'll become a habit, you'll section your home into zones and each zone will have a dedicated focus every single month, once you have decluttered most of your home, deep cleaning will then be your monthly focus. Keep up the great work, you have a lovely home and you are a really lovely person! So motivating, it's a gift you give by showing the world exactly what they can do, I really love flylady and I hope you hang on to this for life now, sending love and light your way from England, UK
The FlyLady has daily emails please sign up for those ! She has battled depression and at one point had a room she could barely open the door from all the clutter. She decluttered that room 15 min a day until it was done 😁! She wants you to take care of yourself and take it easy on yourself. That’s what I try to do , declutter small amounts often so I don’t get overwhelmed. Also on UA-cam there is Diane from Denmark who will walk you through the baby steps one day at a time . You will establish routines which really will make you and your family happy . I’m so glad you have decided to try flylady! Like she says ..... YOU CAN DO IT , SHE SAYS IF SHE CAN ANYONE CAN ! You go girl !!!!!! 💕
So proud of you for trying out the flylady!!! She can change your whole way of thinking- and she is all free
Thank you so so much 💜🦄💜
2 parts cleaning vinegar (10% acetic acid I think) to 1 part dish soap. Heat the vinegar up in the microwave before pouring in the dish soap, shake to mix, and boom... a really awesome cleaner for calcium, lime, and rust build-up. It's antibacterial/antimicrobial, and not super harsh but cleans like a boss.
UA-camr Diane in Denmark is a FlyLady Mentor. Her UA-cams are amazing. She doesn't ever make you feel overwhelmed or that you need to be perfect. She has many babystep series and others.You will love her! keep on keeping on!
I watch every Diane in Denmark video because she is so positive, never complains about her life, she's real but not perfect, and she never tries to sell me anything--and she knows how to make her own sunshine on grumpy days. She has great baby-steps videos and she talks out her thought process as she decides to keep or declutter items. And I love her "use what you already have" approach.
🌞👍
Diane is a great example and cheerleader. She's originally from Edinburgh where I was born and bred and live, so maybe I'm extra proud. 😂
I LOVE DIANE! BEST FLY FAIRY EVER :-)
So proud of you for giving Flaylady a go. She changed my life. I still have clutter issues, but I am much more aware of what triggers me and what I can do to get my home tidy and company ready within an hour or two, without stashing the clutter into cupboards and the unused shower recess.
You are doing an amazing job!
I love what your doing to declutter, your making so much progress. FlyLady is great for maintaining it like you said. The shining you sink habit is all about keeping your kitchen manageable. Somehow having a shiny sink makes it easier to keep your counters clear and then you kitchen neat and it also starts your day off on the right track. Waking up to a clean kitchen makes you feel lighter and just better about yourself somehow. It’s kinda magical like that. The bleach is only meant to be for that first initial clean and then maybe once or twice a year, it’s definitely not an every day step. Most of the time I just use water and a cloth.
The lace up shoes thing is about being prepared for anything that might happen in your day like leaving quickly if the school calls about a sick kid, or you need to pick up something from the store or if you’re like me not procrastinate about getting the washing in the line. Small actions that have lots of knock-on effects. You will find little tweaks to make and what works for you if you keep going with it, but the baby steps are a great intro to the concepts. Once you finish the baby steps you should have the start of some really good habits started. Signing up for the emails can get a bit much but I like using the app so I can skip or read the daily notes when I want. Keep going you’re doing great.
This is a great next step, to keep your hard work going! You don’t have to clean the sink with bleach every night, it is more just cleaning it out and wiping it down. Routines are so important. You are working so hard, it is awesome.
I found Flylady in 2004, but I've been flying and crashing ever sense. She really helped me though my 2006 stillbirth. It's cool, because as you mention each baby step, I'm like...yeah! I do that. I have that habit. Shoes, usually sink, but I need to out 2 minute hit spot back into my life. I'm looking forward to Fridays now and your video
So sorry for your loss. 💜🙏💜
I agree with some of you other commenters. UA-camr Diane in Denmark is waaaayyyyy easier to follow than the actually Fly Lady web site. Someone needs to declutter and clean up that web site! It's confusing and difficult to negotiate. I started with FL about 20 years ago. I didn't stick with it 100%, but I have relied on a timer ever since. It really helps keep me focused on the task at hand. Keep up the good work. Baby steps.
I'm much older than you and I still use the Fly Lady some. I can't stand getting up in the morning with a sink full of dirty dishes in the sink so the last thing I do is make sure it is clean before bed. No, I don't shine it every night but I make sure it is free of dishes and then I clean it out with dish soap and a scrubby then wiped dry. The Fly Lady is all about habits, they are still habits but more productive. The method teaches you and trains your brain to realize how much you can get done in the two minutes time. For me I know I can clean my sink and load the dishwasher in two minutes. In another two minutes I can gather things off the counter and bag the trash, another two minutes I could sweep the floor. Depending on the time you have you can do what bothers you the most knowing it is only going to take you a few minutes. If I looked at my kitchen when it's totaled I feel defeated but knowing I can get it back in shape for less than ten minutes makes it manageable. I still set a timer for things I don't want to do and it helps, I just take it five or ten minutes at a time then let it go until next time.

PASS !!! 😇😇😇😇
I actually find that after the initial cleaning, all I have to do is make sure that I dry the sink after using it that way all the water spots don’t build up and it looks great. I keep a rag just for drying it right by the sink so that it is fast and easy to do.
I’m a hoarder, too. It was fun to see how you instinctively knew where to find a binder! I’m the same! I believe hoarders do know where everything is in all the mess! You need a bit of red fabric? I can put my hand on it now!👯♂️🥰❤️😎
The Secret Slob is an amazing lady who does UA-cam videos based on the fly lady method. You might like her vids. xxx
Ohhhhhh...okay, I’ll have to check her out!!
Love The Secret Slob!!!
I love her
@@ahoardersheart Secret Slob cleared up all the Fly Lady Website confusion around Zones. When you are ready, skip right to the Secret Slob UA-cam page. Also, she made me feel really normal with her video about restarting the Flylady program after being away f ett on it for awhile. I'm normal too!!!
I wilł check her out too! I am a huge hot mess! This is nothing compared to my kitchen. 😳😔.....hanging head in shame.
You have lots of products under the sink!!!! I was wondering if you could use some of them up and replace them with a general purpose cleanser? I did it and love seeing my cupboard with few bottles, maybe you would too?!
Yay!! I have just started these steps myself. I am not doing the things that don’t speak to me. Like the post it notes- I would have to go buy them so nope. I love her app though. I am still just trying to get into a routine with the daily stuff. And I don’t shine my sink I just make sure it’s clean and leave it. 😀 I’ve started to do a little zone cleaning but am ignoring the rest until I feel more confident in my routines. I’m a bit of a hoarder as well and I don’t want to get too overwhelmed and quit. I also didn’t do any emails or sign up for emails.
I usually watch your videos while I’m shining my sink, so I love doing it together now!
I love you! From one hoarder to another I love you showing your process and progress. Your sink is just like my sink! You’re an inspiration.
AWE!!! I love ya too ❤️❤️❤️ So happy to hear your sink is shining too 🌟🌟🌟
😂 I keep a tidy home except for the kitchen where a lot of the time it looks like my dishes exploded after a wild night partying.
A Hoarder's Heart you're doing great and you keep going. That's what counts.
A Hoarder's Heart LOL... Unfortunately my sink is more like your “before” sink, than after! But, watching your baby steps with FlyLady showed me what the deal was. I too have been suggested to use the FlyLady system but I have resisted! But seeing the steps, I get it. I think if I could do it, it would create the good habits that I lost track of when I went/am going through my own depression. Thank you again, for showing me a way out of my mess! ❤️
You should watch Diane in Denmark, she is a fly lady and has a great UA-cam channel. She goes through the baby steps one at a time and then the fly lady system. Good luck 🙂
I’m so jazzed you’re trying FlyLady! I’ve been watching both of your videos for a while. Have fun! Her videos are kind; she “gets it”.
The system works for me 🙌🏻🙌🏻 full time working mom of two and in school. Most of my house is clean! I still need to declutter though.
You could take some time on Sunday and set out (or hang in the closet) 5 outfits for the week. I do this and I think it takes less time overall because I'm already in outfit mindset. Plus it helps if you need a special outfit for later in the week, then you know if you need to do laundry before realizing, for example, at 11 pm that you need your green shirt for tomorrow but it's dirty!
I think the idea of a clean sink is it makes you feel good so you feel accomplished and are more likely to keep the counters clean which spreads to the table, etc. It gives you a sense of motivation. When the whole house is a disaster, it's harder to start bc it all feels overwhelming and pointless.
I use some of the steps but not others. I hate bleach so I use natural products! Tweak what you don't like to work for you!
Yes, agreed about hanging up outfits all at once!!
Barkeepers friend (it’s usually around $3 at the grocery store cleaning aisle) will get rid of the rusty sink spots! I also second checking out the Secret Slobs UA-cam channel, she’s fantastic, and did a great breakdown of how to declutter when you are starting flylady. Keep going, you’ve got this!
Awe, thank you so so much!!!! I definitely got to get this Barkeepers Friend product!!!! And I’ll check out Secret Slobs too!
I buy barkeepers friend at my local dollar tree! Same size as the grocery one for a $1! I use it on the sinks and it seems like the only cleaner that really gets rid of the hard water build up in the bathtub:)
+1 on Barkeeper's Friend for stainless steel!
Yes is the best! Also i use it to clean my stove and oven.
I love the flylady and my home is 80% better because of her and that’s life changing. Try doing her 31 babysteps before you check out others doing her program
A key behind flylady is you can’t clean clutter. It’s just stuff that gets shifted around and homeless which I know a lot of us understand. I think sometimes you have to try different methods to get something to stick and click that works. I struggle with the kitchen and absolutely hate doing dishes so I totally get why it’s such an accomplishment in that system. I haven’t had a dishwasher for decades which doesn’t help either but just gotta keep on going.
A different Avenue thanks for sharing love it keep inspiring ❤
Mrs Myers baking soda cream cleanser will get the rust spots out of the sink! Just dab a little on the rough side of a sponge :)
Yummy! Love the Mrs. Meyer's fragrance and quality.
So to sanitize the sink you can replace bleach with peroxide or Listerine. To get the rust spots off I find a metal scrubber like s.o.s. pads or steel wool and scrub works like a charm. Also a quick spray and let it sit for a while works well. They sell little spray bottles of peroxide or make a bleach (a cap full) or vinegar (about half the bottle) and fill with water, and a small squeeze of dish soap mixed spray bottles is cheap and effective.
You do not have to use bleach. You can do baking soda and vinegar. Or just scrub the sink with the dish soap it has a grease cleaner in it.
OH THANK GOD!!! Lol Thank you for sharing!!! Of course, baking soda and vinegar!! Totally doing that moving forward!!!
A Hoarder's Heart you’re not supposed to need to do the thorough clean every day- just keep dishes out of it and wipe it down daily to maintain
Same here. I use dish soap 6 days and add baking soda to the dish soap once a week. Try a little straight vinegar on a toothbrush on rust stains. Or try some leftover cola. Or try baking soda paste on a toothbrush. If your sink tends to rust, dry off your sink and wipe down the faucet at the end of the evening and put out a fresh towel so you are ready for the next day.
@@ahoardersheart Do not use baking soda and vinegar together. Baking soda is a base, while vinegar is an acid. When you combine them, you get water, carbon dioxide (the stuff in the bubbles in soda), and a liiiiittle bit of salt. Using one and then the other will work well. Baking soda is great for scrubbing and de-gunking, while vinegar is a great substitute for bleach for *most* household purposes. But really, basic soap and water does most of the work for germs.
I just wanted to pop this in here so you don't try a baking soda/vinegar combo and get discouraged. You've been doing so much and you've come so far! We're all super proud of you! (I just binged like 30 of your videos in the past few days - great content!)
Eileen Carroll doe plain soap kill the germs and bacteria? I’m always afraid it will not and I get very discouraged while I’m cleaning because I’m freaked out by those 2 things... I guess I have a few OCD symptoms. Thanks
You do not have to wash the dishes.. you can just put them aside.. that's why it says baby steps.. and the cleaning your sink every day morning and night it's actually the most important part.. you are doing great
You are doing a WONDERFUL job. We are so proud of you! (FlyCrew member, Paddi)
Your sink looks amazing!
Love the Fly Lady! Sure helps to have a buddy to keep you motivated and to stay on track.
I’m here with you trying the fly lady baby steps!! I got distracted and didn’t stick with it for the whole 30 days but I’ll get back to it along with you! I think my favourite part of her method is the emphasis that doing anything is better than doing nothing so don’t worry about being perfect or getting it all done at once. You’re doing great!!! 💕🦄🌈💕🧜♀️
Watch Diane in Denmark. She does 31 days as a mentor. You can use vinegar instead of bleach. Chemical cleaners give me migraines.
Best way to do fly lady is to watch Diane in Denmark. She is lovely.
Overtime, bleach is damaging to stainless steel anyways, so i'd go for white vinegar and baking soda. I generally avoid bleach for everything, vinegar and baking soda do the trick just fine, coupled with a good liquid dishsoap
Yessssss!! I’m not going to use bleach anymore either! The baking soda and vinegar is perfect! Thank you ❤️🙏🏻❤️
@@ahoardersheart Maybe you can do a little research about environmental friendly/hypoallergen cleaning products and then do a little Konmari (use up, of course, but for example start with the ones that are almost empty! :) ) of the cleaning stuff that was under the kitchen sink... :) I just use liquid soap (not hand soap, but I don't know what it is called in English) or baking soda or vinegar to clean with. When we moved to this apartment, there were some products left, I have used them, because it seems wasteful to throw them out, but I don't buy any new products like bleach or chlorine. My son has asthma and we use washing powder without perfume, no softener. Of course that depends on the water hardness (I think?), but I have heard that softener are really bad for the environment. Lots of love and gooood luck with your flylady system! :)
@@ahoardersheart GREAT 😊 I keep a small pump spray bottle of peroxide and a shaker bottle of baking soda in the corner spice cabinet (near the sink) plus our condiment cabinet to the left (right if the stove - like your setup) which holds the tall jars of vinegars and oils handy. I drink black tea in English porcelain mug in the morning (tastes better - srsly! I spray peroxide in the mug and shake baking soda over it and let it sit. After dinner dishes are done, I add a bit warm water, make a paste and wipe out the cups with a soapy sponge, then scrub the sink with the same sponge. Vinegar and salt paste cleans the copper pot bottoms and also the hard water residue from the electric glass tea kettle. BTW, so many raved about Bar Keep powder... just got it (why?) So Not impressed. The all natural Shaklee paste cleaner works better and is great for everything and lasts like forever! It cleans my stovetop, sink, whitens countertop and removes stains and a whole lot more.
@@rebeckamattisson5083 I like to use the term "consumables" for things like soap, shampoo, toothpaste, ect. I try to have two at a time and use up the items with the less amount in them.
@@theproductivehoarder7945 Thank you! :)
Fabulous!!!
MY GREAT CHALLENGE is doing a declutter, organize, and clean challenge right now where she puts areas she needs to work to declutter on slips of paper and picks them out of a jar. You might enjoy doing that too. Diane in Denmark is doing a new year reset and I also like Secret Slob. They keep me motivated!
You did absolutely amazing. 👏👏👏 I would recommend The Secret Slob too. Keep up the good work. I must go shine my sink 😂🤣😉
🤣🤣🤣 Yes we need our sinks shiny now 🧼🌟
i join you, good job. love that you are doing this. routines helps.
I am loving this fly lady method, now you have me worked up, off I go to cleaning lol, great job❤️
Follow the secret slob and Diane in Denmark when they first started the flylady. They are amazing. And...You are doing great!
I definitely will!!! Thank you so so much 💜🦄💜
Took ten years but flylady system eventually changed my life... From depression to blessing!
Love ya. I’ve been trying to Fly for over a decade. Somehow I keep crashing and hoarding. I’m going to buddy up with you on this one. Fly lady is right about many things, it’s just the sticking with it where I fail.
Barkeeper's Friend is the best for removing rust, cleaning pots and pans and even your bathtub! You'll find on it the shelves near Comet and Ajax in the supermarket. 👍🏼❤
Excellent job! I do the FlyLady system and have adapted it to my needs. If you follow it, it works!
Yessss!!!! I’m definitely going to try it and then adjusted to my lifestyle & routines!! So glad it is working for you!! Thank you so so much 💜🦄💜
Yes! I love how you are saying what you're thinking, because that's what's going through my head too! ❤️
Adopting FlyLady may be a little stressful while still facing so much decluttering.. just be sure not to let any ideals of perfection interfere with the progress you’ve steadily shown.
I watch a few cleaning channels and the obsession with the sink kinda cracks me up. Whole sinkfuls of got water is just a waste. I am very limited on bleach use too. Pfft some barkeepers friend or bon ami, a scotchbrite pad and you’re fine 🤷🏻♀️ I guess FL is why they’re always wearing shoes in their videos too. Can’t stand shoes being worn throughout the house!
I think the main thing is to think of the system as a *guideline* that you adapt in whatever ways work best for you and your home 💕🦄
Absolutely!!!! I definitely will try it out and adjust it to my lifestyle and routines! Like, I’m not using bleach anymore because I don’t like it. And I will not be wearing my shoes as soon as it gets to 60 degrees or above!! Lol I like being barefoot in the house!! Plus, we do take our shoes off as soon as we walk in the door! So even in the winter we wear socks or slippers in the house! Thank you so so much my friend 💜🦄💜
@@ahoardersheart the bleach is only for the very first time you clean it out. After that, it is about maintaining a clean space that makes you smile when you see it :)
@@ahoardersheart What a lot of FlyLady members do is use one pair of shoes for indoor ONLY. Shoes tell your brain it's time to go to work. Anything that will make my work go faster I'm willing to try.
@@rivkahburch8461 You can use any thing you want to clean your sink. Bleach certainly isn't necessary especially if it makes you sick or you have a septic system.
@@ahoardersheart This is not too much for you because we're ignoring the clutter during baby steps. The morning and evening routines are KEYSTONE TASKS (my term) because if you don't do these routines it will prevent you from doing other things that will make you feel good. The clutter may accumulate dust but it won't make other things worse. If you don't load your dishwasher (give yourself permission to run loads that are not completely full) and run your dishwasher at night, you won't be able to put away clean dishes in the morning. If you don't empty your dishwasher in the morning, dirty dishes will accumulate in sink and on counter. Without a dishwasher, same process, but drip drying clean dishes on the counter to be put away 1st thing in the morning. Trash removal was a KEYSTONE TASK where I needed to be dressed to shoes AND BRA in case my neighbors saw me taking my trash out. (flip flops or clogs--never laces). If I was sick and did not take out my trash, trash would accumulate on the countertop--YUCH! Meanwhile, static clutter did not make things worse. Building Flylady habits is all about making things easier and feeling good about yourself. Eventually you will get to the clutter, but only 15 minutes at a time.
Now is the time to congratulate yourself for a job well done and enjoy your shiny sink. 😁👍
I think this is going to help you so much! I'm excited to see your hot spot cleared off every day!
Isn't it funny how we think some tasks will take a lot of time and energy, but once you get started they take two minutes? 😊
For the sink spots, you might try a product called BarKeepers Friend.....located in dish soap isle. Walmart has it. Worked wonders for my stainless steel sink.
Oohhhhh...okay, thank you!!!! I’ll go check out Walmart!!!
A Hoarder's Heart Its great on pots and pans too.... hope it works for you...let me know. 😍
Good Job! It's really interesting seeing you undertaking this. It will be interesting to see if it helps you to maintain good habits.
Diane in Denmark is my favourite Fly Lady, check her out. Lovely lady and really explains the tips.
Love the day two dance!
I adapted “shine my sink” to just doing the dishes and wiping down the sink when done. And I think the “dresses to shoes” people are taking too literally. I think she means get dressed for the day. We tend to feel better about ourselves when we aren’t just in our pajamas all day. At least I do. Her zone cleaning schedule really works for me. Everything doesn’t have to be perfect, but if we can make progress a little bit at a time, it won’t feel so overwhelming.
Oh no... she means get a pair of lace up shoes and put them on.... she reiterated that alot.
No shoes are ever coming into my house farther than the front door. So gross! I just saw a lady on a different video say how they never wore shoes inside & now they do because of FL. I can’t roll my eyes far enough. How disgusting. Look down next time you’re outside (especially a store parking lot) and see all the gross stuff you step in, and now track thru your homes. 🤢 (not you personally)
Bleach....etc is not every day.shining your sink is just empty, clean and shine it.
Shes so right about allll the time we waste saying we "dont have time" to declutter or clean..when we could be wiping down the tub while we take a bath, clean out the fridge or put stuff away while waiting for microwave, etc, etc!..😛
In Canada, we do NOT wear shoes in the house, honestly ever. But the getting dressed and ready for the day still works for me! Great job!
The fly lady system isn’t about perfectionism but routines & starting where you are. Marla has daily videos that will keep you on track. Diane in Denmark & The Secret Slob are also helpful.
You are doing so well. And you are already getting so much done caring for your family.
Focus on how good your accomplishments make you feel and ignore what you can't get to (yet).
Anything is better than nothing.
Done is better than perfect.
Doing ONLY 15 minutes at a time helps prevent feeling overwhelmed. Balance getting the most important things done with self-care and pampering.
Only do what works for you and your family.
Well done.👍🏻
I like to watch My Great Challenge and Diane in Denmark. They both follow the fly lady and it seems to work great for them. I read a little on the website and it was a little too complicated for me. I found other things that work better. (for me). I think this will be great for you! So far you're doing great!!
Great job again! I should also give my hot spot two minutes!
Bleach and hot water will create non-healthy fumes, so bleach should be only used with cold water. On long term use bleach will ruin surfaces and porcelene (toilet seat, bathroom tiles etc). I'm glad you didn't use it every day!
Amazing job! Flylady and Dana K. White (A Slob Comes Clean) have been HUGE for me in terms of home maintenance, which has been a major struggle of mine before finding them.
Yessss, I struggled with maintaining my decluttered rooms I cleaned last year and now I got to Declutter them again!!! I’m hoping Flylady will work and I will check out those channels too!! Thank you so so much 💜🦄💜
I’m excited to see the continued progress, I am just starting as well and need that motivation. 😊
I also tried FlyLady. I bought her cleaning tools. I love the long microfiber wand with "little fingers" all over. Works great to dust the walls and baseboards. It bends to do ceiling fan blades, etc.
Amazing! So proud!!!
Thank you so so much 💜🦄💜
Wonderful, l am there with you. Keep it up 👍.
Girl! Just wanna take a moment to say thank you and congratulate you! Look how far you have come in a year!!! To see your basement, its unrecognizable. You doing amazing 😍😘😍😘😍😘
I think this is going to be great!! I have heard of the Fly Lady but haven't looked into her method. This will be fun to follow along with you😁
Awe, thank you!!!!! I hope there’s some tips or routines that will help you too ❤️🙏🏻❤️
I’m allergic to bleach so I use natural cleaners and if it gives you headaches I would recommend using a different cleaner. The secret slob does do flylady and is a great channel to follow friend.❤️
Sophia from my greatest challenge is a great inspiration on UA-cam. Good job girl 🦄💕
Hi, you’re doing some great job ! That’s a lot of work. Sorting things AND then maintaining is energy eater. But then it will give you energy back!!
But I’m wondering : you are working 5-6 days a week, bringing your kids to sport, cleaning out things and maintaining it alone? Is your husband involved in home chores? Are your children preparing their things and cleaning their room or do you put it all on yourself ? There is no judging here, but I have 3 kids and my tendency was to do it all myself and I go exhausted until I allowed myself to let / tell people to each do his part. Which has made everyday routine way easier.
Keep your movement, it’s a long process but then what a change in someone’s life 😊
One of the best learning experiences I ever got as a Mom was: "Do not do for them what they can do themselves." It sounds harsh, but this is how we teach our sons how to be able to live on their own someday... And their wives will be grateful 😍
I'm going to start the baby steps with you. I found this video very motivating!
You are amazing! Sending you love. I will be joining you on this. 🇬🇧💕💐🙏
I highly recommend Diane from Dnmark and the Secret Slob. Peter Walsh has an excellent clutter series too!
I’m definitely checking them out!!! Thank you so so much 💜🦄💜
Awesome video thank you for sharing!
Check out Diane from Denmark's vlog.
Ohhhh...okay I will check her out! Thank you!!!
Absolutely! Checa her vídeos! She IS THE Best!
You are hilarious and precious and I’m so thankful you and this video in particular exist lol. Sincerely
Try some bar keepers friend. They have one in liquid form or powder form. I use it to take out rust stains from the bathroom sink from my jewelry holder 😊
Thank you so so much my friend 💜🦄💜 Totally going to get some!!!
Great work, keep it up! I’m rooting for you!
Bar Keepers Friend is amazing for rust spots in sinks.
I’m definitely going to get this!!! A lot people recommending this!! Thank you so so much, I appreciate that 💜🦄💜
Lemon juice and baking soda combo
Ohhhh yesssss!!! Thank you...No more bleach 😝
Yessss... and you can put salt or baking soda right on a used lemon half and use it as a scrubber. Put the juice in your tea.
😁☕👍
To get the sink stains out, theres a little known secret called "autosol metal polish"...thank me later...when you finish your whole sink...Its like cracking open the cakes. Once you start, you have to finish :)
Put baking soda in the sink and let it be for about 10 minutes. Don’t need bleach🇨🇦
Oh my gosh! You're place looks like mine! You are inspiring me❤
I just started the Flylady you don't have to shine your sink with bleach. What I do is I have an empty spray bottle add half with water, 1tsp of liquid soap, and then add the rest with vinegar, put the spray back on give a couple of shakes. Then I spray the sink and then clean the sink. When I am done rinse with water and then spray with windex. Afterward, take a paper towel and dry the sink then you are left with a shiny sink.
OK, I haven't read all the comments but just going to say right off the bat: I don't use Bleach in my sink except in extreme circumstances. Also Bleach breaks down faster in hot water so it doesn't disinfect as well in it (not to mention it makes the fumes worse). I use Peroxide to disinfect my sink. Slap a spray nozel on the brown bottle and spritz it down let it sit 5-10 mins or until dry.
Wash your sink plugs under the black gasket and then spray them down with it. So satisfying
Edit: Try Barkeepers Friend for the rusty spots
This is my 1st video that I have watched You are hilarious!!!!!!!!! I am learning Flylady too.
I've just randomly come across your videos & I'm so glad I did! 2020 was traumatic for the world & ours was made worse by losing several family members as well as my husband losing his job 2 months before the holidays (after being off for for lockdown for 5 months @ the start of lockdown.) So we found ourselves spiraling into a horrible, depressive rut that we took out on our home, I guess. You've got a very positive outlook & upbeat way of vlogging your progress & it hit home for me tonight. I'm excited & hopeful watching your other content! Thank you for that 💛
Try Bar Keepers Friend or Bon Ami for your sink. It should helps with the stains. 😊
Thank you so so much 💜🦄💜
January 2024. I'm emptying cupboards. I've never had much stuff. I've been trying to be a minimalist since 2015. I get rid of 20 items each day. There's another pile of books and CD's for the library. More trash and more recycling went out. There's more for the food pantry, too. Tina, Al's wife
Hi, if you do 't want to use any chemicals at all, there are special rags for "stainless steel". You get the best shine, I've ever seen without any watermarks at all. Works on any stainless steel product, like refridgerators, as well as on sinks. And for anything with high glossy shine, use shaving foam! Try it, you wont be disappionted!
Maybe you could teach our boys to put out their own clothes and in that time you can put out your own?
Naaa, let them help YOU pick out YOUR outfit, then each of them for their outfits until it gets easier - was also gonna say, I used to have both boys (3 yrs apart) help me do dishes each night. As they got older, they still do😍
About cleaning a stainless steel sink. First the word Stainless means less stains, not "NO" stains. But using a cleaner like CAMEO for stainless steel, could help. "Keeping your sink shining" means you clean it up every night. If you keep up, you won't have to do the big job everyday.
For the rust in your sink I’ve heard some people use bar keepers friend, it’s like $2 at Walmart or so it says online. I think I’ll try it! 👍🏻Bleach gives me headaches too, so you’re not alone on that. I enjoyed your vlog, thank you for sharing!
If you don't like bleach it doesn't hurt to substitute with a cleaner you do use.
I'm not really impressed by the flylady steps. I feel like getting dressed and starting the journaling and sticky notes should have been in the first 2 days and that it should focus more on the small goals that let people feel like they are accomplishing something after that.
I hope you're enjoying it though and I'm sure if you take a little bit of time each day to work on maintaining the rooms and have your boys clean up their toys before they start their bedtime routines it'll make a big difference.
Thank you so so much my friend 💜🦄💜 You are right, I’m ready for some more action cleaning 🤗 And better bedtime routines will be key in maintaining the house!!
So far from what I've seen of this video, I'm underwhelmed by this process. (Not your work HH.)
So you clean your sink then put on shoes, spend a bunch of time reading, then 2 minutes work on your catch all?
I like the 2 minute catch all, but after a week the only thing accomplished is a clean sink & a smidge less clutter.
Day 2 could've been read the stuff & sweep the floor in 1 room. Day 3 could've been dust the fireplace mantle. Clean the mirror in 1 bathroom.
Not knocking the positive affirmations since that may help a lot of people, but this feels like wading through molasses to get a house cleaning routine.
Mz Stitcher the thing is this is for people who have lived in CHAOS (can’t have anyone over syndrome) for so long that they are afraid if child PS accidentally knocked on their door they are afraid of what would happen. This is for people who are really stuck and who need baby steps to get out. Most people are not that far gone but believe me some of us need told to put on our shoes and get off the couch. My brother is a cop one time he dropped over when I wasn’t home and he thought I got burglarized. Flylady net changed my life❤️
@@marylober3005 I know someone who is afraid of people coming over.
The 6 feet of visible baseboard always needed to be cleaned, but I doubt any visitor would notice the baseboard when boxes were stacked 3 feet high everywhere & you were lucky if there was room for 2 people to sit down.
They finally had some stuff reorganized to allow a walker to maneuver through the walkways.
They preferred to oil their wood furniture than spend the 2 minutes to determine that the 20 year old bottle of salad dressing needed to be tossed. Yes, salad dressing from 1999 (or was it 98? Doesn't matter, its 20 years old) was in their fridge.
I'm honestly surprised family services was never called on them once their health declined & the state of the house was more "public" (medical staff started to come in).
Compared to some houses on hoarders, this is probably a 7 for how bad it is.
An affirmation wasn't going to help this person. (They need a psychologists help for hoarding. But they're not ready for that.) But having a mopped or vacuumed floor, clean mirrors or those 6 feet of baseboard clean made them feel better about their house.
So that's why I'm saying do something small every day + affirmation. The something small could just be wipe down the fridge or dishwasher. Put away 1 piece of clean laundry. Put toilet paper on the hanger. Disinfect your tv remote or oven handle. Move the box of cereal from by the front door into the kitchen. Push in your chairs at the table.
Is my house perfect? Nope, kitty who has incontinence issues peed on a towel after I put her other peed on towel in the wash. The house looks like its hoarded because i cant let her on every surface. But I can uncover surfaces when we have company in minutes & the house doesn't smell like we have a cat peeing on towels every 6 hours to 7 days. So I consider that a win.
I think starting with one thing and keeping it up for a week (here it is the sink) is a good way to create a change.
If there is a wish and ability to clean more no one is stoping you. You can find another system that works better for you or develope your own.
You talk cute and very entertaining, gal!! I love it !
I knowwww you're trying to change your voice to not be recognized, right??? That's totally cool, my spirit animal! I love your effort, it makes Me so happy!!!!
