Hey Friends! Let’s get some decluttering done this month! It’s the first step to creating a clean and calm space, and it feels so good! ☺️ Click here to get my free decluttering guide! www.cleanyourwaytocalm.com/_files/ugd/9091f9_cfca2511ea52416199a4a8e893b91c18.pdf Thank you for being here! 🤍Jenny
Your channel’s name is perfect. You bring calmness in your voice, talking of how and why you do things, showing how you clean and etc. Thank you so much for your help! I just printed this and will be doing this along with you. You’re so motivating and inspiring! Thanks for the printables too! Yay!
I saw a great tip the other day for the tops of cabinets. Put newspaper on top of the cabinets to collect the dust and grease that settles there. Makes it so easy to clean when you do your deep cleaning.
I tried the newspaper, but didn't work as well as I'd hoped- i still had to scrub. Hot water with blue dawn and then sprinkle with baking soda worked amazing! I was able to wipe the top of the cupboards in just a minute or two!
I use paper towels. A great time saver. They are the perfect width. After all the work needed the first time I cleaned up there, I used cut newspaper. The paper towels are easier.
My goodness. I have been very busy most of Dec and Jan with work and trying to pray on things. I felt God move me away from one thing, and that greatly improved my well-being. I know God has a deep plan for me, and I must have ait until He's ready for the next phase. I was hoping it was time for a path I want, but God knows much more. Once I released my burden of the path I wanted and allowed God to guide me down my current path, my stress has depleted. As such, I'm playing catch up on my RUclips channels I enjoy. With this being stated, I watched this video, Amy Darley and a few others. You all motivated me to deep clean my office room in my house. The look had been weighing on me, so I did something about it. It's not finished, but it is started. As I gently work on it, I'm feeling more and more at peace and a stronger desire to go into the office as to be productive. I'm just grateful to God for his guidance and blessings. I'm also so thankful my channels I watch have peaceful and calm (as well as Christian / or any peaceful religion) for me to follow with. Thank you for creating this video and being calm, warm, and inviting. Be blessed Jenny! ❤️❤️
I was searching “clean with me” videos for inspiration and found yours. I watched this one while folding laundry. Now I’m going to declutter my kitchen! Most “clean with me” videos have loud, head-banging music 😣 I love your soft background music and soothing voice 😌 Thank you!
I started big massive purge from 1 Jan. I now have not a single thing in my house to declutter! Not one! Not exaggerating even. My first time of such a big project- whole house purge and I’m supremely pleased . I will do this every month now. PS- just found you today and loving it!
wow! I cannot even imagine what that feels like----but, Good for you! That is awesome ! I am just beginning my declutter so I can function, allow more creativity into my life, and uplift my mental health, and have a home that brings me Joy! I too just discovered this site today!
Hi, I’m a new subscriber, I’m Connie from South Australia. I’m watching this in the evening before bedtime to inspire me to get some things done tomorrow. Hubby and I are in our seventies so we are retired but still as active as we can be given our age and dodgy knees etc. I was drawn to your channel because of your using cleaning as therapy. Have never thought of it that way before and it was a lightbulb moment for me. I have depression and anxiety, mostly managed by medication but the anxiety spikes when I get behind in the house, so I’m grateful to have found you!
RE: the blue Pyrex storage containers. I notice you put the lids on them snd then stack them. I learned putting the lid in to store makes lose its seal ability. It’s best to put all the lids together as you use them. It won’t stretch out the seal ability of each piece! I learned the hard way it tended to stretch out the lid so it didn’t seal as well!! Best choice to use Pyrex over plastics due to the issues w/ plastics causing exposure to tumor causing components! Carry on.. thought I’d share on the dealing issue!
Have been organising all my life! I find it soothing to clean and move things around making things more efficient. The decluttering part started with my yoga teacher training. As we were learning about living with less, I felt the need to have a good sort through. 5 years on I am still paring things back and find myself surprised how much I'm still letting go! I have been doing a room/part of a room each day I've had a spare hour since the start of the year. Taking down the Christmas decorations spurred me on to reset. Using this month as a no spend and use it up reset has helped massively this year too as I'm freeing up spaces quicker with no waste. Feels sooooo good having the house deep cleaned!
January is usually my month to declutter. This year it was two kitchen cupboards, our pantry closet, and our storage room that is built onto our home. In the storage room I just needed to go thru all of my holiday/seasonal decor and put all of the Christmas decor in new bright red bins. I have my spring decor in a large pink bin and in the Fall I will put my Fall decor in orange bins. Last April I did a whole house declutter, doing one room every month. This has saved me so much time and trouble finding things, and decluttering since has been very, very easy. Have a lovely day!🥰❄☃🌷💗✝
I literally just learned that my problem with maintaining a clean home is not my organization but that we have too much stuff. 🤯 so I’m starting at the very beginning. Eight years in our home, three kids later and things just multiplied! I’m so excited to be on this decluttering journey!
Oh, I hear you in that! I have been in our home for 46 yrs, and 4 kids raised. Little has been done since the last one left HS. More than 15 yrs. ago. During that time, I finished 2 college degrees, started a business, have been building that business, and never have done a thorough cleaning or decluttering. It's terrible and the stuff has just accumulated as well. These newly discovered videos are sparking that motivation to now begin! Both to declutter, and to clean. I might add, that before my youngest graduated HS, and both she and I began a new track with college, I was caring for my mom in our home, and have never had the mental space to fully go through all the boxes of treasures, pictures and lovely bottles and glass collections she had, and that is all on top of the "regular house stuff." It was just so overwhelming to me, I just avoided all that clutter and moved on to my life long desire of college because I was finally able to do that for my own mental health and plans. So, here we are!
Thank you for showing cabinets with crumbs. So often cleaning videos don't show real life. Life is messy when you have a family.Very inspiring video. 😁💜
It’s great seeing you do this and feeling inspired. Having less clutter and more space to organize things definitely reduces my stress and anxiety. Took me having a nervous breakdown a little over 10 years ago to realize this. Breakdown wasn’t clutter related; an incident at work led to the breakdown and subsequent diagnosis of PTSD. Feeling much better now due to great mental health support but decluttering is still important :)
Hi Jenny.... I'm riding my stationary bike as I watch you. I love to clean and declutter. I find that it is very relaxing to me. Lol. My mom always said since I was little....you can have a clean neat house but if your closets and drawers are messy then the whole house needs attention. So I have always done that. You did a great job!! Thanks for sharing. I just bought those Anchor Hocking glass bowls with navy lids. Love them. Blessings ❤️
Thank you so much for the idea of using cleaning as therapy. It is really helping me to transform my way of cleaning which is never seemingly up to par. Also, I am a visually impaired subscriber and it really does help me that you narrate the videos. I know there was a question about that in an earlier video. Thanks again!
Love watching you declutter before I go to bed so calming and makes me motivated to declutter my kitchen tomorrow thanks for the inspiration hugs from the UK 🇬🇧
Hi Jenny ..... Your cupboards weren't even messy.. Your very neat, love it 😀 I started in my bedroom, my I decluttered so much. My closet was included. 1 room done 8 to go closets as well. Just doing regular housework today. Dusting, vacuuming and of course mopping floors; cleaning bathrooms. Starr decluttering again tomorrow. Excellent job my friend.
I love your videos so much. Something about your soothing music and voiceovers really calms my mind and inspires me to keep up with my own decluttering. Happy New Year to you and yours!
Woohooo! Getting rid of everything we don’t use or need anymore feels so good! I’m just now getting started for 2023 and I will continue to let more go as I move along! The kitchen is by far the worst and needs it the most. Thanks Jenny for the inspiration! Definitely motivated to keep going! Have a wonderful week! ❤
I love watching your videos before bed! I find them very relaxing. I’m currently up watching this video at 5 am because of the flu and coughing. It’s very calming, and helping me keep my mind off of how I’m feeling. ❤️ I also love having your cleaning marathon videos on in the background while I’m washing dishes or cleaning. I love that you talk through everything that your doing, that way I don’t have to actually watch to still enjoy. And they are so motivating!
I love taking a break in my work day to watch decluttering/cleaning/organizing videos to keep me inspired and add some satisfaction to the morning or afternoon(:
The measuring spoons take valuable time hunting for them!! SUGGESTION: in the container you use most often… & add one set hung by hooks on the door itself labeled so it’s easiest to grab the right size first time! Also.. if you have a daughter learning to cook… bake… start her a set of cook/ baking items before you give to charities.. also let friends and family grab first..then donate to a baker that does baking/cooking for the needy!! Good vibes for all!!
I love your Chanel❤I just stated to declattering my home last year. I sold a lot of Decores and stuff it’s feel so good with empty space and also I saved alot of money
I watched two minutes and got the bug to go do a second round on my kitchen (I kind of did one a few days ago when I got a new thing but it needed more). I got the stuff off the tops of my cabinets, moved things around, decluttered stuff I never used, and finally fixed a drawer whose wheel had popped off (with a twisty tie from a computer cable, since the axle broke--it's working great!)--hooray! I'm with you on the snap lids--I've never bought them because I just know it would annoy me to no end having to do no less than 4 steps to open a container. Way too much time. I have no idea why people like that. I like to watch during the day, because if I watch before bed I have to harness the motivation then, and then I'm up late. I did stay up tonight redoing my kitchen, but I'll clean out a few of my crumb-y cabinets another day--yours looked so good when you were done.
Thank you for this video & the motivation & inspiration. This is exactly what I needed since this is my goal of decluttering & organizing the kitchen this month. I love the idea of using the clear bins for the drawers & the lazy Susan for underneath the sink. I never thought of that.
I have been working on my kitchen too. I have to say that I was slightly confused about nail polish being in the kitchen 😂 I get frustrated because some things that I want to do just doesn't work with my cupboards. I have an old house and the shelves are not movable. I'm going to be looking under the sink again for things I just haven't used and that should be it for my kitchen. I'll be sure to look for your others weekly.
I started in September to prepare for baby #3 and now I have only left partly the kitchen and our bedroom. 🙏🏻 Then I could start preparing everything for baby which is due in April. Feels sooo good 🤗
Starting my decluttering journey, also trying to get financials under control, budget done, meal planning is also in progress. I will plan my first weeks meals today for the week ahead, declutter, cleaned and organized the fridge and freezer while I took inventory. Still have to do the Grocery cupboard to ensure shopping is at a minimum for the week's meals. Next week is back to work full time so this will be much more difficult going forward. I hope I get to declutter more of my kitchen in the evenings, while cooking dinner.
Sounds like you have done a lot already on these other necessities! Well done! Little by little, drawer or closet you will get it done. We all have to find our way to calm while we work, and deal with life! You will get there!
I’ve got this running in the background while I’m working today. I knew three minutes and that you were from South Louisiana (I grew up there, it sounds like home) Thank you for confirming that 8 minutes in. Enjoying the motivation!
I am meal planning as I'm watching But I just made a list this morning about things I want 2 get done in my kitchen and pantry, then ur video popped up. So, now I'm pumped, and I'm gna start working on my kitchen after meal plan. Thanks for the motivation!!
Hi Jenny! I watch cleaning videos at night. I agree that it is very relaxing, almost soothing….I then will rewatch the videos the next day while cleaning my house. That way I don’t feel so alone while doing the tasks of housekeeping. Keeps me upbeat and makes me enjoy the cleaning a bit more! Thank you! ❤😊
Hi. I just found your channel. It is lovely😊..you video style and voice is so relaxing and motivational 😊. I can't wait to catch up! I did my first full house declutter starting January 2017 (after my husband moved out.). The declutter was separating 17yrs of joint living. I packed around 100 moving boxes with his stuff..50 I still have. I need to get my lawyer to tell him to get them... then half my attic and guest room will be free again! I have always decluttered and organised since my first declutter at 16yrs after finishing high school..and then at each major life change eg 18 college, 21 BSc, 24 MSc, 28 PhD, 30 post-doc etc. Then life, career, marriage, kids got in the way. I realised in 2017, after packing my ex-husbands stuff, MY PERSONAL stuff wasn't to much...but still more than I wanted to have. In 2018 I did my first whole house declutter of my stuff, the kids stuff and our joint stuff..and I bought the kids 3 plastic filing boxes as memory boxes (Box1 with year hanging files from birth to 18yrs for flat paper memorabilia, a certificate file and photo albums, Box2 for bulky stuff eg first clothes, christening candle/gifts and things they made and Box3 is for toys they do not want to donate/sell). I still need to finish their baby albums and print out their photo albums to go in Box1. When they leave home they can take them. If they don't want the stuff anymore, they can get rid of it and use the boxes for paperwork or storage. In 2019 I did our 2nd whole house declutter and the garden shed and attic. I still have boxes to donate and sell..which is on this years to do list. I haven't decluttered since 2019!.. so this year is round 3. You are right, each time it gets easier and you just get rid of more you didn't use between declutters. Several areas eg my kitchen are now just in "Maintenance mode" as nothing has changed. Kids stuff is the main area where I see lots to declutter again.
I just found your channel and I'm very motivated this year to clean my house out, from top to bottom. My daughter's getting married in two weeks, so I'm going to hold off my January start until then.
I finally went through all the glasses and mugs - we have a retro bar in the basement and over 17 years I collected retro glasses, beer glasses, etc… I donated 3 boxes!! It felt good yet I felt guilty having bought so many at thrift stores. Now watching this, I can’t wait to pull everything out of the kitchen cupboards!!❤😘🇨🇦
Thank you for your inspiring video, it was a nice treat during my lunch break! Over the weekend I decluttered my bedroom and under the kitchen sink. I was ruthless and it feels so good to relax in a serene looking bedroom! God bless and cheers from Ontario Canada. ❄⛄❤
I am soooo glad I found your channel!! I'm a college student who struggles to find the motivation to clean sometimes but I when I do find the motivation, it is really relaxing and a great way to destress about school on the weekends!
Shane from Middle Tennessee. Still love you and your calming videos. I cleaned townhouse this week. Got all laundry done and put away. Cooked two hearty meals for my hubs so he has leftovers for tomorrow dinner. Soooo I am decluttering our master bedroom tomorrow!! Can't wait to get two closets, a highboy, a big dresser, night stand all organized and less full! Thanks for motivating me!! Age 67 young 💕💕💕💕💕
Great video. It’s amazing even when we are tidy and organised there is still stuff to declutter. Going to start mine tomorrow and see if I can get rid of some more ‘stuff’
I am SO ready to declutter! I've already been doing it but my kitchen is next on my list...this video is perfect! We are moving this summer (military family 🫡)....so I am trying to get ahead of the game! Thank you!
Just getting started on my apartment. My partner moved in with me so it felt necessary to get rid of anything I haven’t used, especially things that are taking up space. Enjoying the process and already feeling much happier with the progress I’ve made.
Thank you for the free clutter guide...looks very helpful...as I was watching your video I washed a few cupboard doors...half asleep...lol...I have so many dishes squeezed in the top of my cupboards, they are older China dishes that always felt too good to use...Well kids these days won't want them, so I am reintroducing them to the light of day and will enjoy them, even might set my table everyday...Thanks for the inspiration...hugs
My boyfriend and I just bought a house. My boyfriends family still lives in the bottom half until Feb. This house needs soooo much work; decluttering 2600 square feet, deep cleaning, serious renovations. My head spins so bad thinking about it. I work 12 hour shifts ontop of this so I’m feeling extremely overwhelmed all the time and not sure where to start. I’m so happy I found your channel!
I opened my closets in 2018 to put away Christmas Stuff. There was no room. I didn't know what was in there. Now in 2023 and 53 years old. I have sold, donated and thrown away so much stuff. We became very frugal and have paid off our FARM in 2020. We also paid off all Credit cards. It truly made us aware of our spending habits. A plus side you become a MINIMALIST not realizing it. We don't at all feel deprived but FREE. THANKS to you and other channels I stay motivated. Rhonda from TN 🌻👩🏼🌾🌻
I haven't decluttered the kitchen because I did that in the fall. I've begun to declutter my basement and my daughter has been going through her toys and finding things to donate. My goal is to declutter the basement enough that I can fit a rowing machine there for my husband and I to use. Have a wonderful weekend! 💖
Happy New Year 😊. A great video, very motivational, I enjoyed watching it with my morning coffee. I am off now to tackle the same job. Thank you for nudging me in the decluttering/cleaning direction today. - much appreciated😊🙋♀
Hi Jenny, Happy New Year. Just discovered your video, getting motivated to clean and declutter. I’m down here in Southern part of Lafourche Parish. Still working on our house since Hurricane Ida. Thank you for the inspiration.
Thank you for the inspiration! ❤ I joined you decluttering today. I’ve decluttered before but I still found a bunch of lonely lids and old spices in my kitchen. Feels good to get it done! ✅ 🎉
Good Wednesday afternoon Jenny. Happy New Year. Great video - motivational and inspirational. Your pantry organizing and cleaning skills are absolutely prolific. Thanks for sharing. Looks like you''ve got a busy day ahead of you cleaning up after the holidays. You really know how to get it done., That being said, don't forget to take some time for yourself today. 😁👍😊
I love your channel ❤ I have a question for you, why do you keep your nail polishes and mani/pedi supplies in your kitchen cabinets and not in your bathroom cabinet? Honestly you keep your house so organized and beautiful! It doesn’t look like you need to declutter anything. ❤
Love this kitchen cabinet decluttering and cleaning video. I would like to get rid of the clamp top cover glass containers as they easily get moldy, have to make sure they are completely dry.
Curious. It looks like you decluttered the bowl for your rice maker? If so, what do you plan to use in the rice cooker? Love your channel. I just found you and now I’m inspired to declutter, my favorite thing to do!
The easiest way to start is to put an empty box in your closet. As you do laundry or unload the dishwasher, keep an eye out for items you’re not using. You’d be surprised at how much your box fills up! Once it’s full put it in your car and drop it at the donation center nearest you.
Hello, just discovered your channel! I am just starting ( never late right?) to decluttering my house of 35 years! I really like the plastic bins you have in your kitchen. Went on your Amazon site and are they the ones that say “Divided Kitchen Organizer Bins” and you just take out the dividers? Thank you for your help with getting me started. 😊
I've been watching cleaning videos recently and your channel randomly started playing, I love it! So of course I subscribed and I was just watching your 2021 spring cleaning (while of course doing my own cleaning-- so nice to clean alongside someone else) and you mentioned your daughter's height, her being 15 and 5'9" and needing a new bed from a twin. My daughter is 11 and 5'8" and her XL Twin is looking a bit small. What size bed did you end up getting? Also, where do find pants that don't stop at the ankles ??? Lol
Hi Jenny, I am gonna pause you, just while I work along side you at my house. So far I have 2 texas size muffin tins (new but I never use them) 1 regular muffin tin, and 2 pyrex pie plates, put into the donation box. You help me so much, thank you!
Although I've never seen anyone keep nailpolish in their kitchen, I do like the clear bins you have them in. Where did you find them? Or can you tell me the measurements? I've been looking everywhere for a specific size to fit some freezer shelves. Extra measuring spoons are ideal for being able to leave one in a tall spice jar. Also, yours have holes in the handle so you can hang them up on the back of a cabinet door.
I have the Pyrex with blue lids they are really good containers only thing is the lids can crack but you can replace them they are on Amazon not much money
You have inspired me to start decluttering once again. It seems easier to just take it one room a week. It doesn't feel like you exhausting yourself, but you are still getting it done. I really dread my bedroom 😩.
Yesterday, I decluttered a couple bags of clothes, the excess hangers, and set it by the door to donate, threw away some things that were not worth donating, & wiped down 1 dresser. I use essential oils and need a better organization method to store the oils I use, and still be pretty. The box I have does not hold have enough spaces to hold the oils, so they pile around the box. ugh. Some are everyday used, and some are used as needed, so how I might better store the ones I don't use daily would be a good idea. My diffuser is also on this dresser & used every night.
Hi Jenny, If my mother was alive she would be well into her 90s now and I remember how often she would say: 'I love to watch people working'. Of course there were no computers or youtube then. I wonder if she felt motivated when she watched people working and I'm sure she would have been an avid 'good housekeeping' youtube viewer!
I really enjoyed you de-cluttering & cleaning your kitchen cabinets. It really makes a difference in a person's life to keep areas neat, clean & organized. However, I think I would use more than one cleaning cloth to clean. I would use a different cloth for cleaning the interiors of cabinets & a second one for wiping out dishes that will be used for food. I commend you for your helpful videos & attention to detail. 👍👍👍
Those larger pieces I wiped off are not used frequently. I was just getting the dust off of them. They will get washed in the sink when I decide to use them. Thank you for watching.

@@twilacreaser4138 I haven’t tried the newspaper yet, but I assume it needs to be changed slightly frequent before the grease and dust get soaked in.

I bought the bottom piece of a dish drainer fom the Dollar Store and store my 4 slice toaster on it. It catches the toaster crumbs beautifully.
I was searching “clean with me” videos for inspiration and found yours. I watched this one while folding laundry. Now I’m going to declutter my kitchen! Most “clean with me” videos have loud, head-banging music 😣 I love your soft background music and soothing voice 😌 Thank you!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the video, Terri! Thank you for being here! ❤️
She has always had nice soothing music on her videos. It does make it much easier to watch.
Same. There are some cleaning videos that are annoying because of the "club" music. I know they must think the music is motivating but not for me.
I started big massive purge from 1 Jan. I now have not a single thing in my house to declutter! Not one! Not exaggerating even. My first time of such a big project- whole house purge and I’m supremely pleased . I will do this every month now.
PS- just found you today and loving it!
Wow, that's impressive well done!
wow! I cannot even imagine what that feels like----but, Good for you! That is awesome ! I am just beginning my declutter so I can function, allow more creativity into my life, and uplift my mental health, and have a home that brings me Joy! I too just discovered this site today!

Not currently decluttering my apartment, just sitting and watching for ideas. I just say, I am very jealous of how much space you have!!!!
Have been organising all my life! I find it soothing to clean and move things around making things more efficient.
The decluttering part started with my yoga teacher training. As we were learning about living with less, I felt the need to have a good sort through. 5 years on I am still paring things back and find myself surprised how much I'm still letting go!

Hi Jenny.... I'm riding my stationary bike as I watch you. I love to clean and declutter. I find that it is very relaxing to me. Lol. My mom always said since I was little....you can have a clean neat house but if your closets and drawers are messy then the whole house needs attention. So I have always done that. You did a great job!! Thanks for sharing. I just bought those Anchor Hocking glass bowls with navy lids. Love them. Blessings ❤️
Love your style of decor ...it is warm and cozy.....your voice is so calming...so grateful I found your channel...thanks
Hello from Gretna, LA
Watching declutter and organizing shows while I declutter and organize!😂
Fancy meeting you here.
Thank you so much for the idea of using cleaning as therapy. It is really helping me to transform my way of cleaning which is never seemingly up to par. Also, I am a visually impaired subscriber and it really does help me that you narrate the videos. I know there was a question about that in an earlier video. Thanks again!
Love watching you declutter before I go to bed so calming and makes me motivated to declutter my kitchen tomorrow thanks for the inspiration hugs from the UK 🇬🇧
Thank you for watching! ☺️❤️
NEW here, pushing me to look at everything with new eyes! Love to be clean and organized!!! Printed off your guide and will begin today!!!
Hello,you did such a great job cleaning and decluttering.Thank you for all your videos.Your such a great motivater.Have a blessed day.
Hi Jenny .....
Your cupboards weren't even messy..
Your very neat, love it 😀
I started in my bedroom, my I decluttered so much. My closet was included.
1 room done 8 to go closets as well.
Just doing regular housework today.
Dusting, vacuuming and of course mopping floors; cleaning bathrooms.
Starr decluttering again tomorrow.
Excellent job my friend.
I love your videos so much. Something about your soothing music and voiceovers really calms my mind and inspires me to keep up with my own decluttering. Happy New Year to you and yours!
Thank you so much, Jen!! I appreciate you. Happy New Year!! ❤️
Woohooo! Getting rid of everything we don’t use or need anymore feels so good! I’m just now getting started for 2023 and I will continue to let more go as I move along! The kitchen is by far the worst and needs it the most. Thanks Jenny for the inspiration! Definitely motivated to keep going! Have a wonderful week! ❤
Yes, totally agree, Ann! Such a clean start for the New Year! Also makes spring cleaning easier. 😁🤪 Hope you’re having a great week, friend!! ❤️
I love watching your videos before bed! I find them very relaxing. I’m currently up watching this video at 5 am because of the flu and coughing. It’s very calming, and helping me keep my mind off of how I’m feeling. ❤️
I also love having your cleaning marathon videos on in the background while I’m washing dishes or cleaning. I love that you talk through everything that your doing, that way I don’t have to actually watch to still enjoy. And they are so motivating!
So glad you are relaxing and enjoying them! I hope you feel better soon!! ❤️
@@CleaningTherapy Thank you!
I love taking a break in my work day to watch decluttering/cleaning/organizing videos to keep me inspired and add some satisfaction to the morning or afternoon(:
I’m decluttering with you! Feels like I’m decluttering with a friend ☺️
The measuring spoons take valuable time hunting for them!! SUGGESTION: in the container you use most often… & add one set hung by hooks on the door itself labeled so it’s easiest to grab the right size first time! Also.. if you have a daughter learning to cook… bake… start her a set of cook/ baking items before you give to charities.. also let friends and family grab first..then donate to a baker that does baking/cooking for the needy!! Good vibes for all!!
Thank you! ❤️
Sons need kitchen items as well and to be taught how to use them.
I love your Chanel❤I just stated to declattering my home last year. I sold a lot of Decores and stuff it’s feel so good with empty space and also I saved alot of money
Thanks for this video ❤️ This was so relexing and inspiring. Here I am with my morning coffee ☕
Hello! I’m new here and I’m looking forward to “Clean to Calm”! Definitely need it!
me too!
I watched two minutes and got the bug to go do a second round on my kitchen (I kind of did one a few days ago when I got a new thing but it needed more). I got the stuff off the tops of my cabinets, moved things around, decluttered stuff I never used, and finally fixed a drawer whose wheel had popped off (with a twisty tie from a computer cable, since the axle broke--it's working great!)--hooray!
I'm with you on the snap lids--I've never bought them because I just know it would annoy me to no end having to do no less than 4 steps to open a container. Way too much time. I have no idea why people like that.
I like to watch during the day, because if I watch before bed I have to harness the motivation then, and then I'm up late. I did stay up tonight redoing my kitchen, but I'll clean out a few of my crumb-y cabinets another day--yours looked so good when you were done.
Thank you for this video & the motivation & inspiration. This is exactly what I needed since this is my goal of decluttering & organizing the kitchen this month. I love the idea of using the clear bins for the drawers & the lazy Susan for underneath the sink. I never thought of that.
I would like a lazy susan for the condiments in the fridge
The view of your uncluttered well organised cabinets was so calming ! It brought me a sense of peace.
Yeah same its my 3rd year de-cluttering..pretty much since Covid. Thanks for the inspiration!
I have been working on my kitchen too. I have to say that I was slightly confused about nail polish being in the kitchen 😂 I get frustrated because some things that I want to do just doesn't work with my cupboards. I have an old house and the shelves are not movable.
I'm going to be looking under the sink again for things I just haven't used and that should be it for my kitchen. I'll be sure to look for your others weekly.
I started in September to prepare for baby #3 and now I have only left partly the kitchen and our bedroom. 🙏🏻 Then I could start preparing everything for baby which is due in April. Feels sooo good 🤗
Starting my decluttering journey, also trying to get financials under control, budget done, meal planning is also in progress. I will plan my first weeks meals today for the week ahead, declutter, cleaned and organized the fridge and freezer while I took inventory. Still have to do the Grocery cupboard to ensure shopping is at a minimum for the week's meals. Next week is back to work full time so this will be much more difficult going forward. I hope I get to declutter more of my kitchen in the evenings, while cooking dinner.
Sounds like you have done a lot already on these other necessities! Well done! Little by little, drawer or closet you will get it done. We all have to find our way to calm while we work, and deal with life! You will get there!
I’ve got this running in the background while I’m working today. I knew three minutes and that you were from South Louisiana (I grew up there, it sounds like home) Thank you for confirming that 8 minutes in. Enjoying the motivation!
I am meal planning as I'm watching
But I just made a list this morning about things I want 2 get done in my kitchen and pantry, then ur video popped up. So, now I'm pumped, and I'm gna start working on my kitchen after meal plan. Thanks for the motivation!!
I’m curious where you get all your clear bins from?
Hi Jenny! I watch cleaning videos at night. I agree that it is very relaxing, almost soothing….I then will rewatch the videos the next day while cleaning my house. That way I don’t feel so alone while doing the tasks of housekeeping. Keeps me upbeat and makes me enjoy the cleaning a bit more! Thank you! ❤😊
Yes! So true! Thank you for watching, Roberta! ☺️❤️
Hi. I just found your channel. It is lovely😊..you video style and voice is so relaxing and motivational 😊. I can't wait to catch up!
I did my first full house declutter starting January 2017 (after my husband moved out.). The declutter was separating 17yrs of joint living. I packed around 100 moving boxes with his stuff..50 I still have. I need to get my lawyer to tell him to get them... then half my attic and guest room will be free again!
I have always decluttered and organised since my first declutter at 16yrs after finishing high school..and then at each major life change eg 18 college, 21 BSc, 24 MSc, 28 PhD, 30 post-doc etc. Then life, career, marriage, kids got in the way. I realised in 2017, after packing my ex-husbands stuff, MY PERSONAL stuff wasn't to much...but still more than I wanted to have.
In 2018 I did my first whole house declutter of my stuff, the kids stuff and our joint stuff..and I bought the kids 3 plastic filing boxes as memory boxes (Box1 with year hanging files from birth to 18yrs for flat paper memorabilia, a certificate file and photo albums, Box2 for bulky stuff eg first clothes, christening candle/gifts and things they made and Box3 is for toys they do not want to donate/sell). I still need to finish their baby albums and print out their photo albums to go in Box1. When they leave home they can take them. If they don't want the stuff anymore, they can get rid of it and use the boxes for paperwork or storage.
In 2019 I did our 2nd whole house declutter and the garden shed and attic. I still have boxes to donate and sell..which is on this years to do list.
I haven't decluttered since 2019!.. so this year is round 3. You are right, each time it gets easier and you just get rid of more you didn't use between declutters. Several areas eg my kitchen are now just in "Maintenance mode" as nothing has changed. Kids stuff is the main area where I see lots to declutter again.
I just found your channel and I'm very motivated this year to clean my house out, from top to bottom. My daughter's getting married in two weeks, so I'm going to hold off my January start until then.
I finally went through all the glasses and mugs - we have a retro bar in the basement and over 17 years I collected retro glasses, beer glasses, etc… I donated 3 boxes!! It felt good yet I felt guilty having bought so many at thrift stores. Now watching this, I can’t wait to pull everything out of the kitchen cupboards!!❤😘🇨🇦
Do not feel guilty you enjoyed owning them at the time now you are moving on
Thank you for your inspiring video, it was a nice treat during my lunch break! Over the weekend I decluttered my bedroom and under the kitchen sink. I was ruthless and it feels so good to relax in a serene looking bedroom! God bless and cheers from Ontario Canada. ❄⛄❤
Thank you for watching! Nice work!! ❤️🙌🏼
I am soooo glad I found your channel!! I'm a college student who struggles to find the motivation to clean sometimes but I when I do find the motivation, it is really relaxing and a great way to destress about school on the weekends!
Hi, Jenny ! Thanks for the inspiration. I am declutering while watching your video. Thanks for the motivation
Thanks for sharing. I love your videos. Thanks for giving me the inspiration to declutter and make my house more manageable.
Thank you for being here, Barbara! ❤️
Shane from Middle Tennessee. Still love you and your calming videos.
I cleaned townhouse this week. Got all laundry done and put away. Cooked two hearty meals for my hubs so he has leftovers for tomorrow dinner.
Soooo I am decluttering our master bedroom tomorrow!! Can't wait to get two closets, a highboy, a big dresser, night stand all organized and less full!
Thanks for motivating me!! Age 67 young 💕💕💕💕💕
Shane, yes!! Great work, friend! ❤️🙌🏼 So good to see you always!
Good morning, Jenny. Thanks for sharing your cleaning and decluttering motivation❤
Great video. It’s amazing even when we are tidy and organised there is still stuff to declutter. Going to start mine tomorrow and see if I can get rid of some more ‘stuff’
Relaxing just visiting while drinking a hot cup of tea, Ginger turmeric peach.
I am SO ready to declutter! I've already been doing it but my kitchen is next on my list...this video is perfect! We are moving this summer (military family 🫡)....so I am trying to get ahead of the game! Thank you!
Yay! I feel like the kitchen is one of the biggest areas to get out of the way, so you’ll be in great shape! Congratulations on the move! ❤️☺️
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Just getting started on my apartment. My partner moved in with me so it felt necessary to get rid of anything I haven’t used, especially things that are taking up space. Enjoying the process and already feeling much happier with the progress I’ve made.
So glad to hear that! It really does make a difference! 🙌🏼
Happy January Jen! I love to watch your videos in the early morning as I am having my coffee. You are calming and inspiring. 💕
Thank you for the free clutter guide...looks very helpful...as I was watching your video I washed a few cupboard doors...half asleep...lol...I have so many dishes squeezed in the top of my cupboards, they are older China dishes that always felt too good to use...Well kids these days won't want them, so I am reintroducing them to the light of day and will enjoy them, even might set my table everyday...Thanks for the inspiration...hugs
My boyfriend and I just bought a house. My boyfriends family still lives in the bottom half until Feb. This house needs soooo much work; decluttering 2600 square feet, deep cleaning, serious renovations. My head spins so bad thinking about it. I work 12 hour shifts ontop of this so I’m feeling extremely overwhelmed all the time and not sure where to start.
I’m so happy I found your channel!
I've also been on a decluttering initiative and learning more about minimalism. Loved your video! I subscribed and look forward to more.
I opened my closets in 2018 to put away Christmas Stuff. There was no room. I didn't know what was in there.
Now in 2023 and 53 years old. I have sold, donated and thrown away so much stuff.
We became very frugal and have paid off our FARM in 2020. We also paid off all Credit cards.
It truly made us aware of our spending habits. A plus side you become a MINIMALIST not realizing it.
We don't at all feel deprived but FREE.
THANKS to you and other channels I stay motivated.

Please tell me where you got that little vacuum I need one for my cabinets
Organizing my kitchen as I watch 😊
I haven't decluttered the kitchen because I did that in the fall. I've begun to declutter my basement and my daughter has been going through her toys and finding things to donate. My goal is to declutter the basement enough that I can fit a rowing machine there for my husband and I to use. Have a wonderful weekend! 💖
Happy New Year 😊. A great video, very motivational, I enjoyed watching it with my morning coffee. I am off now to tackle the same job. Thank you for nudging me in the decluttering/cleaning direction today. - much appreciated😊🙋♀
New to your channel, find it relaxing to watch
Hi Jenny,
Happy New Year. Just discovered your video, getting motivated to clean and declutter. I’m down here in Southern part of Lafourche Parish. Still working on our house since Hurricane Ida. Thank you for the inspiration.
Oh, I am so sorry you are still recovering from Ida! Such a terrible storm. Thank you for watching!! ❤️🙏🏻
This was awesome 😎 I’m trying this out about night. 💙💙💙💙💙💙
Happy New Year. Thank you for all your clean to calm videos. ♥️
Happy New Year, Johanna! Thank you for being here! ☺️❤️
Thank you for the inspiration! ❤ I joined you decluttering today. I’ve decluttered before but I still found a bunch of lonely lids and old spices in my kitchen. Feels good to get it done! ✅ 🎉
Great job, Theresa! So glad you’re joining in! ☺️❤️
Good Wednesday afternoon Jenny. Happy New Year. Great video - motivational and inspirational. Your pantry organizing and cleaning skills are absolutely prolific. Thanks for sharing. Looks like you''ve got a busy day ahead of you cleaning up after the holidays. You really know how to get it done., That being said, don't forget to take some time for yourself today. 😁👍😊
Thank you so much! ☺️
@@CleaningTherapy You're quite welcome of course Jenny. Stay in touch. 😊🌹
Happy New Year Jenny. I always love decluttering and it definitely makes me feel calmer and in control of my environment. Have a lovely week. 🌸🌼🌼🌸
Thank you! Happy New Year! 💞
I'm just relaxing gathering all the motivation. ❤️❤️❤️
Love that! Good to see you, Grace! ☺️❤️
I love your channel ❤ I have a question for you, why do you keep your nail polishes and mani/pedi supplies in your kitchen cabinets and not in your bathroom cabinet? Honestly you keep your house so organized and beautiful! It doesn’t look like you need to declutter anything. ❤
Happy New Year! That is on my bucket list the kitchen.
Happy New Year, Margaret! We’ll get it done together! ☺️❤️
Learning to let go will give you more freedom and peace.
I am decluttering my pantry today!
Yay! ❤️🙌🏼
Love this! I want to do this too! I know I need to go through all my kitchen stuff. I think I have stuff in my garage too
Love this kitchen cabinet decluttering and cleaning video. I would like to get rid of the clamp top cover glass containers as they easily get moldy, have to make sure they are completely dry.
Curious. It looks like you decluttered the bowl for your rice maker? If so, what do you plan to use in the rice cooker? Love your channel. I just found you and now I’m inspired to declutter, my favorite thing to do!
JENNY! I'm here for it!!! Happy new year sweet friend!❤️❤️❤️
Hey friend!! 😍 Thank you for being here!! Happy New Year! ❤️✨
@@CleaningTherapy looks so good!
Where do you get your storage containers
Ugh, I'm still in the making clutter stage trying to level up to decluttering. One day I'm going for it! Thanks.😊
The easiest way to start is to put an empty box in your closet. As you do laundry or unload the dishwasher, keep an eye out for items you’re not using. You’d be surprised at how much your box fills up! Once it’s full put it in your car and drop it at the donation center nearest you.
Happy New Year!💖
Just found your channel and it's good so will subscribe
Hello, just discovered your channel! I am just starting ( never late right?) to decluttering my house of 35 years! I really like the plastic bins you have in your kitchen. Went on your Amazon site and are they the ones that say “Divided Kitchen Organizer Bins” and you just take out the dividers?
Thank you for your help with getting me started.
😊
Great clean and clear out😊
Firth time
watching one of your videos, but this was great! 😊
Aw, thank you!! 😍
Great series!❤
I've been watching cleaning videos recently and your channel randomly started playing, I love it! So of course I subscribed and I was just watching your 2021 spring cleaning (while of course doing my own cleaning-- so nice to clean alongside someone else) and you mentioned your daughter's height, her being 15 and 5'9" and needing a new bed from a twin. My daughter is 11 and 5'8" and her XL Twin is looking a bit small. What size bed did you end up getting? Also, where do find pants that don't stop at the ankles ??? Lol
Hi Jenny, I am gonna pause you, just while I work along side you at my house. So far I have 2 texas size muffin tins (new but I never use them) 1 regular muffin tin, and 2 pyrex pie plates, put into the donation box. You help me so much, thank you!
Yay! That’s a great start Michele!! 🙌🏼❤️
Although I've never seen anyone keep nailpolish in their kitchen, I do like the clear bins you have them in. Where did you find them? Or can you tell me the measurements? I've been looking everywhere for a specific size to fit some freezer shelves.
Extra measuring spoons are ideal for being able to leave one in a tall spice jar. Also, yours have holes in the handle so you can hang them up on the back of a cabinet door.
Gathering motivation and inspiration thank you for sharing I👍
Thanks for being here, Mattie! ☺️❤️
I have the Pyrex with blue lids they are really good containers only thing is the lids can crack but you can replace them they are on Amazon not much money
I too made my coffee station above my counter where I keep my Keurig. Wks so we'll for us.
You have inspired me to start decluttering once again. It seems easier to just take it one room a week. It doesn't feel like you exhausting yourself, but you are still getting it done. I really dread my bedroom 😩.
Yes, I love this approach! You can do it! I definitely am dreading mine too, lol. 🤪
Yesterday, I decluttered a couple bags of clothes, the excess hangers, and set it by the door to donate, threw away some things that were not worth donating, & wiped down 1 dresser. I use essential oils and need a better organization method to store the oils I use, and still be pretty. The box I have does not hold have enough spaces to hold the oils, so they pile around the box. ugh. Some are everyday used, and some are used as needed, so how I might better store the ones I don't use daily would be a good idea. My diffuser is also on this dresser & used every night.
A little tip for spillage is to place a sheet of paper towel in your lazy Susan's to catch any drips it also helps steady the jars and bottles .
Hi Jenny, If my mother was alive she would be well into her 90s now and I remember how often she would say: 'I love to watch people working'. Of course there were no computers or youtube then. I wonder if she felt motivated when she watched people working and I'm sure she would have been an avid 'good housekeeping' youtube viewer!
I really enjoyed you de-cluttering & cleaning your kitchen cabinets. It really makes a difference in a person's life to keep areas neat, clean & organized. However, I think I would use more than one cleaning cloth to clean. I would use a different cloth for cleaning the interiors of cabinets & a second one for wiping out dishes that will be used for food. I commend you for your helpful videos & attention to detail. 👍👍👍
Those larger pieces I wiped off are not used frequently. I was just getting the dust off of them. They will get washed in the sink when I decide to use them. Thank you for watching.
Thanks for the motivation!!
Great video!
