In this clean with me video, I share with you my daily, morning cleaning routine (which goes from about 8 am to 11:30 am). These are the quick chores I do around my home every day to stay on top of the crazy. Raising little people is unpredictable and my family comes first. So I am for 80% of this schedule 80% of the time. But I know when I have a clean house I feel better and it makes our lives simpler and easier. I hope you find this video motivating and give a thumbs up if you want to see more cleaning videos on my channel!

In this video I share my budget and natural laundry routine with you! Plus I show you how we organize our laundry room and make sure to get all the of the laundry done perfectly. Or just done. Or mostly done most of the time 😉 Ha! Enjoy 🙂
PRODUCTS MENTIONED:
**Crystal Wash Detergent Free Laundry Balls (20% off)
I’ve been using these for 1.5 years. Here’s tips to maximize their effectiveness that I have found when working with them (lots of you saw my old video and asked for an update!)
– Wash with hot water when possible
– Do not overfill load (this causes the balls not to have proper agitation of clothes)
– Just like any load, spot treat major stains first using a baking soda and hydrogen peroxide paste)
– Let dry in the sun for the day once every 30 days
– Great on musty towels!
Greenshield Organic Laundry Detergent
We use this on sheets and comforters. The Costco bottle is the most economical and lasts a long time.
**Dryer Balls
We LOVE these. You can also use tennis balls. We don’t because it is loud and the kids’ rooms are right next to the laundry room.

I’m partnering with O-Cedar to bring you five tips for a cleaner home, starting with your floors. I already owned their mop before this collaboration, and I knew how well it works! Achieving a clean home with kids can be hard, so these are realistic solutions for busy families.
TIP 1: CREATE A SHOE-DROP ZONE
TIP 2: EMBRACE THE VACUUM
Or at a minimum the hose extension. I really don’t sweep much. I just vacuum my floors, under the table, and even right on the table for crumby messes. It’s fast. It’s easy. And it WORKS. Check out this article https://cleanhomeguide.co.uk/best-shark-vacuum/ for reviews on some of the best shark vacuums. I fully recommend a cordless vacuum cleaner such as the Eufy Homevac for cleaning the house, as it’s just super simple and easy to use. If you don’t have one, check out these ones recommended by Appliance Hunter.
TIP 3: GET A SPIN MOP
We love our O-Cedar Easy Wring Spin Mop and Bucket System. I picked mine up on Walmart when my previous mop kicked the bucket. It’s awesome because you don’t have to bend to use it, you can control the amount of water that goes on the floor (perfect for wood floors), and it’s FAST. Like really fast. Plus no streaks. I paid for it using my own money, so when the brand reached out and wanted to partner with me AND give 6 mops away (see above), I jumped at the chance!
TIP 4: MAKE YOUR OWN FLOOR CLEANER
To clean my floors I use a 1:4 ration of distilled white vinegar to water with just a few drops of dish soap. It’s worked super well for us and is all natural!
TIP 5: REFRESH YOUR CARPETS
Sprinkle baking soda on your carpets. Let sit for 20 minutes and vacuum up. This makes your carpet soft and plush again, plus your home will smell amazing!

Here are some RIDICULOUSLY SIMPLE home scent hacks that are natural and actually work! I love having a fragrant home but I don’t want to have to spend a lot of time or money doing it. I hope you enjoy these tips!
HACK 1: Stovetop Simmer
HACK 2: Mason Jar Fridge Deodorizer
Add baking soda to a mason jar in your fridge. Cover with scrapbook paper that you poke holes in or cheese cloth (you can find it at the Dollar Tree!) Leave in your fridge for 6 months to absorb nasty odors!
HACK 3: Essential Oils in the Bathroom
Add a fairly generous amount (7 drops) of essential oil to the inside of your toilet paper roll. It will freshen the bathroom every time you visit!
If you are looking for inexpensive oil that is perfect for all your home cleaning and fragrance needs, I recommend this one.
HACK 4: Dresser Drawer Scents
Add a bar of soap to your dresser drawers. Alternatively, spray a popsicle stick with essential oil or samples of perfume (the wood will really absorb the scent) and you will love the way your drawers smell every time you open it up!

Here are three easy ways to refresh your bathroom on a budget and combat annoying things like stinky toilets, musty towels, and matted down rugs. You’ll be glad you gave these a try!
Mix together the dry ingredients. Slowly pour the wet ingredients over top (for as little fizz as possible). Form into balls and let dry overnight. Or just place powder directly into container and use a scoop to get it out. Toss into your toilet mid-week for a mini-refresh
2. Combat musty towels! For this recipe you will need:
Add vinegar to your detergent well. Run a cycle of JUST hot water. Sprinkle baking soda onto clothes immediately after cycle and run another of JUST hot water. Presto. Your towels will be SO fresh and clean. We don’t use laundry detergent, you can find out more about Crystal Wash here if you are interested.
3. Refresh your rugs! Wash your rugs and let dry. Spray with a 50/50 vinegar water solution and use a wire brush to bring back to life. Your feet will thank you. Alternatively, you could have a look at some high quality designer rugs and find yourself a new decor item for you bathroom.
Hope you give these a try!
