FlyLady vs Clean Mama: Which cleaning routine is best for YOU?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 янв 2023
- LIVE CHAT: FLYLADY VS CLEAN MAMA with an open discussion answering YOUR questions about 2 amazing cleaning routines. I've done them both, got the results, bought a few products, and want to help anyone with questions about how to start either of these plans.
The FlyLady cleaning routines are robust and include tasks for life balance. She has a start slow 31-Day Baby Steps plan to create habits that last. Then the FlyLady layers on Daily tasks, Weekly tasks, and Zone Cleaning to deep clean even the dirtiest of homes.
The Clean Mama Simply Clean Method is easier to understand from the start and offers more instant gratification. She also has a beginner phase but it is much more intense on cleaning. Clean Mama really focuses on cleaning with all of the daily, weekly, and rotating tasks being cleaning-related and not life balance. You will see a cleaner home after the 1st day.
The question is not will they work? Both FlyLady and Clean Mama work and work very well. The question is which cleaning routine is best for you? Do you need instant clean and a hard-hitting approach or ease into building those habits? We are weighing the pros and cons so you can make your best decision.
Oh, we are also answering viewer questions. If you are stuck and need some brainstorming for solutions or just have a general question, be sure to comment below and your question could be included!!!

Ironically, as much as I dislike "fluff", FLYLADY works for me. I love her old school simple lists. As a full-time student, full-time manager, and mother (college students living at home), grandmother, significant other, and daughter, I love that she incorporates the things that may slip my mind and is totally customizable. FLYLADY Kat is great because she is the epitome of "no fluff". Diane in Denmark is "whimsical". Terry K's
thoughtfulness, relatability, and faith really shines through on her videos. ❤️
And how can I forget the work and student control journals, holiday planner, and home maintenance journal. As a first-time homeowner (condo), it was helpful. I incorporated the minor things that were found during ny home inspection. Super helpful.
Thank you so much. I absolutely love the FlyLady. In fact I usually listen to her daily morning livestreams while I do my own routines because I love her heart. Her plan works the best for me but I know kids my daughter's age prefer Clean Mama. I just want to help inspire anyone struggling not to give up, start with the plan that seems the most comfortable for you and then adjust it to truly fit your life. Sounds like we are in the same stage of life. I really appreciate the details that FlyLady puts in so that I can be reminded to menu plan and clean the car. It truly is a life change.
You are amazing 🌺
The past two weeks, I’ve been putting into practice, the 5-minute rule. Every 30 minutes, I spend 5 minutes doing something. My house is really starting to look very clean.
I’m also practicing, -don’t touch things twice. I’m not feeling any pain and things look great.
Keep it up! I like your 5 minute rule. I was just at my daughters and tried to show her that I do something and then take a little break. Cleaning doesn’t have to be so hard core!
Thanks Terri! I wasn't able to watch live yesterday. Love your videos, you are doing such a great job with keeping me motivated. My favorite flyLady quote is "You can't organize clutter, you have to get rid of it."
Sorry that you weren’t able to join live. I haven’t watched the replay (too tired afterwards) but I was excited it seemed ok. I do love that quote and I’m m noticing I keep reducing my decor on tables and shelves for that reason. I’m thinking it would be fun to do another live n the 31st as our celebration party: is there a time that works better for you through the week? The 31st is a Tuesday.
Fly Lady is the best for me. I always have the time to squeeze in 15 minutes of this or that. The routines really help stay on top of things!!!
Thank you for watching. As you can tell, FlyLady changed my life.
Really enjoy your lives, even when I miss them live! 😂 You are killing it and I’m so proud of you! Lucky to have you as a mom to teach me how to be a good mom with a clean house!
I’m just sharing what I figured out so you won’t feel as overwhelmed as I did! Love you!
Hi Terri's daughter!! I agree,your Mom is awesome💞🖐️x
Hi Terri! I'M late to the party, but I just wanted to chime in (I'm watching this video right now). I'm from Delaware. I started watching different vlogers just about 2 months ago, looking for ways to get out of this chaos of a mess and keep that way,and I came across The Organised Mum Method. I'm on week 7 and ILOVE it! I take more time than she suggests with alot of the jobs, but take way less time than I would have otherwise. She hits all the levels of cleaning,but the way she breaks it down makes it so much easier for me. And she has free print outs. I'm not a naturally clean person either and I have 3 bathrooms, chronic physical problems, and not diagnosed ADHD, but definitely have the traits. Anyway, I never eve. Tried Clean Mamma or Fly lady, but looking at their schedules I just knew there was no way I could do it with either. But when I saw The Organised Mom printouts on how she breaks down the levels of cleaning down, it just clicked for me. Everyone's houses and priorities are different, so I just modified my lists and schedules to fit my house. Because I have 3. Bathrooms, I broke it down so that I do the quickest and most important tasks in each daily, then I have a bathroom day where I clean showers and floors, then monthly on my weekly Focus day, I do as much of the monthly tasks as I can in 30 MI uses, and I do that in only one bathroom each week. Also, TOMM says only do the small daily tasks on weekends. Don't do weekly or montgly/bi-monthly cleaning then. She also has a Messy House Boot camp job list.
It took me about a week or 2 to tweak the schedules to fit my needs, but it was soooo worth it! My house it slowly but steadily transforming from lo I king like hurricane Katrina hit it to looking and feeling like a home again.
Also, I got some great tips from Clutter bug and Minimal Mom. Clutter Bug helps people figure out what original style worksbest for them based on their clutter and mesyy habits. . She even has a free quiz you can take to find out what Clutter bug you see, and based on the results, she has tips to help you organise in a way that works best for you. My results say I'm a butterfly, but I'm convinced I'm a butterfly/lady bug hybrid lop. Anyway, that was slot to say, neither Fly Lady or Clean Mamma would work for me but TOMM works great for me, as well as some tips from Clutter Bug.
I’m thrilled that you shared your story! I truly believe all plans need to be adjusted and the plan that clicks for you is the right one. I watch multiple channels with other plans and use what I think would solve a problem in my home. I’m a rebel to them all. 😀
@Today with Terri K I so agree! There is no one-sized fits all, and sometimes we have to think outside of the box to figure out what works for us. And, support each other and encourage each other and challenge each other. Sorry for all the typos. There is no edit option once I post a comment, and Ihave to proof read both before and after I post lol.
Hmmm...I'm looking at my ladt comment and it says it was posted 1 year ago, but I know I started with TOMM 3 years ago lol. Anyway, you know I'm now a Flylady fan. That's all...about to get started on my Weekly Home Blessing and other to do's for the day, while I listen again. Have a great day! ❤❤❤😊
You are the best. I rewatch stuff all of the time to soak up the motivation. It’s like chatting with a friend.
@@TodaywithTerriK me too! You are still my favorite Flylady. Or is it still Flybaby? Is it once a Flynaby always a Flybab6? Or do Flybabies at some point become Flyladies? Idk. I'm. Confused about that. I think of those of you who have pretty well got the system down as no longer Flybabies. But there's only one Flylady, so I don't know what to call you all lol.
Thank you so so much for mentioning me! My hubby and I loved listening to your understanding and helpful advice ❤
My pleasure! Thank you for joining in the conversation!
I’m downloading a time blocking app as you have said that you time block your day which sounds helpful. I need to be less overwhelmed by thinking about a long list of tasks and more motivated to do timed short bursts and actually get it done
Once the routines are set as habits you’ll be more comfortable. Anything new feels that way until it’s not new anymore.
Hi Terri! I was unable to watch live, (I had family over) but I am watching now 👋🏽 I am from South Carolina. I have tried Clean Mama. I always go back to Fly Lady though. My house has used or hand me down furniture too. Nothing matches. I am not a natural homemaker either. You are not alone 😆 That is a good tip, don't leave a room empty handed. My favorite quote is I can do anything for 15 minutes. Thank you for this video! I hope you have a blessed week! ❤
Thanks so much for joining in even if it wasn't live! I am planning another one on the 31st to be a "graduation" from the Baby Steps. Maybe you can make it then. The more the channel grows, the more I see that a lot of us are not naturally tidy and organized. I guess I represent the real average woman, lol? Hoping you have a blessed week as well!
I’m in New Hampshire and I thank you so much. Love flylady
You are so welcome! I’d love to visit there.
Haha! I'm hinking now, my approach IS kind of a combo of the 2, but in Flylady form, if that makes sense. I have my zones fone over a week's time, and my Weekly Home Blessing, Swish and Swipe, and all the things Flylafy stylr. However, my break down of my Weekly zjome znlessing and my Zone Cleaning are similar to Clean Mamma or the 3-wave sydtem. S9, in my Weekly Jome Blessing, I do eaither ip to 3 really smalm weekly tasks or one large tasks (mopping, even the simple mopping, takes me more like an hour or so, gor exsmple), pet day for 6 days. And for zone cleaning, with each zone, I focuse on only 1 type of seasonal or rotational task each day for 5 days. So, I save Weekly mopping and vacuuming for days 4 and 5, and I'll do simple vmopoing and vacuiming in my msin areas, but then detail mop or vacuim in whichever xone I'm in a zone that I'm still foing major de-cluttering in. I am not about to tske out tge same cleaning supplies very single day.
Agree! I’ve been using the FlyLady as a routine foundation but Clean Mama has so many elements that I like by tackling one task at a time. I’ve even considered joining her society so I can go deeper and learn more…
@TodaywithTerriK also, I recently switched my Swish abd Swipe to evenings. I already have a Tobe of things thstcare not on Flylady list fie ny mirning routibe before I even sut down fie ny tea; planning and such. I've found, in tge oadt week or so; my evening routibe us actually starting f to get a lityle quicker and easier, since msking that switch. You'd hiding adding one more thing after dinner would mske it longer. Nut it just clicks for me. Doing that and dojng the final daily clean-up in t he kitchen then a quick sweep through yhe main areas with a vroom at yhe end of yhe day, gives my house that final dsily reset lolk and feel, and my bathrooms ate already company ready when I get up in the morning. I serioisly just taje a tissue or dry wash cloth to dry gge insude of the sink after brushing my teeth in tge morning. The "slightly" more detailed touch-up of the toilets and sinks are already fine before I go to bed.
It sounds like I’m definitely a fly baby!
Welcome to the FlyFamily!!!
Missed the live but hello from Utah!!!!
Hi Utah! How cold does it get in January there? Thanks so much for joining and leaving me a message!!!
#replay! 🎉
Oh, I am in Michigan!
Hi from Tennessee
Great video. 👍
Thanks for the visit! Hope I wasn’t getting too sassy…I can get passionate.
@@TodaywithTerriK Passionate is good. It means you care. 😊
Hi from California!!
Love California. We were in Anaheim and LaJolla in August and drove up to the Hollywood sign. Love the weather and hiking!!!
I don’t have the app timer either even though it’s new
No idea why some do and some don’t!
I don’t know if this is helpful, or if anyone has an easier way to do this…. You can add fly lady or clean mama to a cozi calander… it automatically fills in…. Than I added my cozi calander to my google calander…. Now I have it right on my shared google calander and I can ask my google nest what’s on the agenda today
That’s a great idea. I tried cozi years ago before I had Alexa
Hi, not on the live but just popped on here to say hi !! I live in the UK, Belfast, Northern Ireland!! Ps which mascara do you use Terri, I know it's a random question!! But your lashes are so long and curly!! Xx
👋 Ireland is on my bucket list to visit! When is the best time to travel there? My mascara is by Too Faced it’s “Better than Sex”. 🫣
Our weather is very unpredictable, but it's usually warmest between June and Sept!! I love Spring and Autumn though as I'm not too fussed on the heat / sun too much anymore! X ps yes I've heard that is a good mascara, it's all about the wand/brush for me, I copied the secret slob and wear Monsieur Big, it works really well for me!! X
Yes, wand is everything! My daughter was supposed to go on a trip there in fall 2020 but obviously they cancelled. We promised we’d go before she graduates.
Hi from Germany
Hi! So glad to meet you. What’s the weather like in Germany now?
@@TodaywithTerriK, rainy, stormy, cold. Not so nice.
