Clean with me! Some much needed cleaning motivation (on a budget of course). After lots of requests, I FINALLY made a video of my weekly whole house cleaning routine. I have daily cleaning routines that keep me organized and on top of the house (these take about 20-30 minutes a day), and my weekly cleaning routines (which incorporate monthly ones one or twice throughout the week) take 20-30 minutes a day. I want to spend LESS THAN AN HOUR A DAY staying on top of my house. And even then, we have young kids, so spotless floors aren’t my number one priority. Of course, you’re gonna need some basic housework equipment for your cleaning responsibilities, so you might be required to have a look on somewhere like Bissell if you’re short of things like vacuum cleaners.
I aim to get 80% of what I’m showing here done 80% of the time. I hope you find it motivating, helpful and learned some hacks and tips you can use in your home! If you want me to make a video of my daily and monthly/bi-monthly/yearly cleaning routines, let me know in the comments. Blessings and love! Remember, give yourself grace and love the season of life you are in (especially with little ones). Your kids are making memories.
Once a month, I’ll utilise a housekeeping service to come in and absolutely deep clean the whole house. I’ll take the kids out and let them clean everything. That way, I can stay on top of the maintenance, and let another company handle the deep cleaning (the hard work part). My friend had her restaurant commercially cleaned by GREEN FACILITIES and it looked amazing. There’s nothing better than a clean environment.

What do you use to mop the hardwood floors?
This list of tasks needs to be in my house ASAP! My family is so busy that a list THIS SIMPLE could make it easier for my husband and/or son to complete a job without always relying on me to do it all! PLEASE make the list available for download!

Hi Kathryn,
What vacuum do you use? Mine doesn’t work well on hard floors. I see it’s a Dyson but what type is it and do you like it? Thanks!

thumbs up from me, too.
since i watch your videos on your blog site, there isn’t a “thumbs up” as there is n youtube.
i think i’ve watched all your videos for the last couple of years, ever since my daughter recommended your site.
Great ideas…I’m going to try the zone cleaning. Since I work outside the home this will help me have my weekends open for my husband and me to emjoy our time together. Thanks!!
Curious do you still use the e-clothes and do you like them?
