I have a record player and 2 kids. I hate to clean because I feel like I am the only one doing it. So now I make my kids take turns to pick out a record I tell them they are all going to help and once the music stops we’re done. And it’s amazing how much we all can get done in 15min.

Since moving into our retirement house, which meant downsizing, I don’t have room in our two bathrooms to store the cleaning supplies……I solved this problem by making myself a cleaning cart. I bought a cheap, plastic, rolling cart that I put ALL my cleaning supplies on. That way I can roll my little cart to whatever room I’m cleaning and then store my cart in a coat closet when I’m finished. Cleaning supplies no longer take up valuable real estate in my bathroom cabinets or under my sink in the kitchen. 😎

Cordless vacuum cleaner, it changed my cleaning, I vacum often so it saved me a lot of time

If you do decide to clean the shower while you’re in it, use a natural cleaner such as vinegar, water, and dish soap mix. Heating up chemicals while you’re physically in the shower with them, can be quite dangerous to ingest.

Having ADD and depression, yes I do follow this. The 3-2-1 method is something new and I'm going to give it a try. Thank you. I'm glad I found this video

I thought I was the only one that cleaned the bathroom sinks with bare hands & hand soap! Haha I also use a towel to clean the bathroom before laundry day. I also clean the showers while I'm in it. One thing I never thought to do was 1,2,3 myself! Good one. Also, keeping cleaning supplies in each room. Brilliant 👏 But I do keep clean sheets in each room in a plastic shoe storage container in each closet instead of a central linen closet. Thanks for the "work smarter not harder" tips!

To add to your shower hack. Fill dishwand with soap and vinegar. Keep in the shower use it to clean shower while you are in there.

I do all of these already. Still feel overwhelmed with the constant need to clean up!

Yes! Switching my family to body wash instead of bar soap has made a HUGE difference in shower/tub cleaning...it also helps our drains run better because soap scum isn't building up in them. I also clean the sink(s) while I'm washing my hands, I've been doing it for a few years. I dry dust the bathrooms a few times a week (with hand towels as I switch out dirty to clean ones), too which makes it easier to wet clean surfaces. I have a "roomba" style vacuum that we run once or twice a day and I have a cordless stick vacuum to get the areas the robot misses. Shoes off at the door is also a habit we use, but it's mostly because our cats get under our feet and we're less likely to step on them hard if we can feel them under "naked" feet. But not dragging outside dirt inside is a definite bonus!

Love these! A great one I do now is, if I just wiped down the counters, I use the same wet wash cloth to spot mop anything on the kitchen (or other nearby) floor. I've started calling these things "light cleaning", as it's not such a big deal in my mind, and I don't put things off until I can "perfectly" deep clean it later. Better for me is a little done regularly. I can still deep clean, but when I do it will be less work for all the light cleaning I did first. I'm looking forward to trying several of these ideas you shared! Thanks, Taryn!

I’ve watched a couple of your videos and I have to say that you could have been my daughter! I’m 68 years old and after I retired I started cleaning homes. I’ve seen all the homes you described. Your advice is spot on and practical. I use most of the tips you suggested. The one thing I do is after showering I take the towel I’ve used and wipe down the entire shower/tub with it. It saves so much time and energy from having to scrub it. And yes, I clean mine while showering. Call it lazy if you will but practical is what I call it. You’re great. Keep up the good work 😊

I have specific laundry days too, it keeps the process going, not too much at once. I hang most of our clothes on the spare bathroom shower rack, no wrinkles, dries fast and ready to just hang up. I will load clothes the night before, and when i get up and start the wash. While I’m waking up and drinking coffee a daily task has started. We also take our shoes off, people thought us odd, but it does keep the house clean. Especially the carpet on the stairs, we’re behind other countries where most of the people take off their shoes.

So many great tips!I’m glad you said no to drain cleaners. I haven’t used them but was thinking of trying them. I sometimes clean the shower while I’m in it too, but what I always do at the end of my shower is use cold water only and rinse everything down, I haven’t seen any mold since. Another tip to go with your oven rack cleaning is put them in a heavy plastic bag like for yard waste, and spray with a foamy cleaner, leave several hours.

You're the YouTuber that actually gives good advice 😂 I'm glad I found you 😊

lol 😆 I just started doing that months ago ….. cleaning the shower while I shower. I use Dawn soap and vinegar

My cordless vacuum brings me joy. 😂 It really is so convenient and was worth every cent. Loved these tips!

I have exfoliating cotton facial rounds that I use to wash my face in the before bed and first thing. I switch between the master bath and hall bath, and when I'm done with my face I flip the round over and use the other side to wipe down the faucet, counter and sink.

Great tips! You’re my new habit for 2024! Thank you.

Taryn, Thank you!!! The tips in this video are great and I am living proof. But also, the subtitles in your videos are wonderful! I have 4 rambunctious kids and your subtitles let me follow along without necessarily hearing everything over their bubbly excited voices.😄
