Enjoying reading all the comments! Happy to hear you enjoyed a cleaning video. I was afraid no one would watch 😂 Correction from video: I don’t use micro fibre cloths (they contain plastic) I use cotton cloth. Works a treat to shine stainless steel! Hope you’re all having a lovely day. Sending you love and thanks again for all the support you give me even though I only post once a month 😊🤗🌈🍀
Hi fairyland cottage, yor videos are so so so calming and beautiful. Specially, the music you use and things you say :) PLEASE MAKE MORE OF SUCH CONTENT FREQUENTLY. I always wait for your videos eagerly , much love from India🥰
Good Sunday 🎉 I hope you are doing well. Now that spring is arriving. I hope you will post more videos, they are truly calming, and I look forward to them.
Have you decided to close the channel down? I don't recall you saying anything about taking time out or not posting for a time. Such a Shame you just disappeared 😕.
I worked as a housecleaner most of my working life. I always felt pleased that I was doing much-needed work. My clients were deeply appreciative of the help. I especially loved working for families with young children, as they often clearly needed the help. As the same time, I have always loved cleaning my own home. I feel that cleaning helps me to be present with my home and to show it gratitude for all it gives me.
We have had the same housecleaner for many years and recently moved away and I am struggling so much without her. It is so difficult to find a good housecleaner. Know you are deeply appreciated. I still talk to our housecleaner and keep in touch. She made my life better.
Hello, I am checking in to see if you and your beautiful little family are doing okay. I miss your videos and hope all is well. God bless the 3 of you.
Please keep making videos. This is the most relaxing channel. Your content reminds me of my childhood adventures in the country . I find it very comforting.
@@FairylandCottage I'm so glad you're doing okay, I was worried when you hadn't uploaded in so long. i hope you're enjoying life and consider coming back some day.
I got.emotional seeing your daughter at the end of the video. So cute. I look forward to your monthly vlogs they're always so calming. As a single mom to my own 1 year old daughter it's taking me a bit longer to do my deep cleaning but still trying to get it done. I always feel so much more calmer once something's been fully cleaned
I buy a gallon of Castile soap every year. I use it for everything: dishes, I have foaming soap containers in kitchen and bath sits by the sink and I move it to the shower when I bathe. I use it as laundry soap, I make windscreen washer for the car, mop floors. I don’t use it on my hair, but I wash the dog with it because it’s unscented and tear free. I have switched to tooth powder which I make with betonite clay powder, raw cacao, baking soda and xylitol. I do the same thing with my kitchen brushes, except I found a stainless steel handle that you just slide the brush on to. I send twice as much to the heat composter than I do to the landfill. While some things are more expensive (bamboo dental floss) I buy so much less that I’m still ahead. You have really inspired me over the years! Thank you♥️ Can’t help with the toothbrushes, I’m still using my electric toothbrush 🤭
@@uroojwaheed955 Anyone know if there will be any upcoming videos ? I have had the family on my mind so many times over the last few months. I am hoping that things are ok with them all. Any news ?
Fall gives me such renewed energy. We have very hot, humid summers so fall is a breath of fresh air. I do fall cleaning, just like spring cleaning, except that instead of welcoming regrowth and light, I focus on making things cozy and welcome for hibernation, rest and reflection. As a mom who raised 6 children, I have cleaned toilets and bathrooms everyday for 49 years, I must have being humble down to a science. We raised our family by having a janitorial service and they worked right along beside us. I always enjoy your outlook on things, thank you.
I clean my toilets daily and I 've since I was very young. I read a book by two ADHD mothers- they suggested a quick swish with a brush would keep the build up from hard water and mess from building up. It is so much of easier. I raised my two boys who are now 45 and 43 this mantra "Trash , Dishes, Laundry" every day of our lives! They grew to be good men and their families are minimalist and they inspire me! I fun to hear the old Mantra being taught to the grandkids! Something done daily is just easier to live with!
Hello Niamh, I know with your growing little one that you are likely very busy, but wishing you well... This video was very inspiring and very much makes me want to deep clean my bathroom as well. I am hoping you are doing ok, given that your last video was August and now it is the beginning of November. We have had a rough Autumn so far, so I sympathize if you have as well, although I VERY much hope not. Best to you and your family - Lynne
I didn't know a cleaning video could be so inspiring. The best part was the squeal of joy from your little fairy! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!
Hi Niamh, I live with my mom, I have a degree and a bunch of specializations...and I clean my bathroom everyday 😊 I love cleaning the apartment, and for the bathroom I use powdered citric acid, vinegar, or a cheap toothpaste that'll make faucets shine! I worked as a cleaner for a while 7 years ago and I never felt humiliated, my clients were actually devastated when I quit my job, and asked me to please come back for a year. I always had the utmost respect for cleaners, they do one of the most important and often difficult job in the world (I'm thinking about hoarders' houses now) and I love deep cleaning! I spent this morning deep cleaning and I feel satisfied and happy. A big hug from Italy ❤
I clean the houses mostly of old people who cannot clean themselves. This job is good for my egoism. I stay humble but also I feel satisfaction when I see them happy living in a clean house.
Thank you…for this video….I shall share with you what my dear mother used to say.” IF YOU CAN LIVE A SIMPLE LIFE YOU ARE A RICH PERSON” I used to share thing with my clients who had a very limited income and they all appreciated these words..and I have always strived to live this way……and these words apply to EVERYTHING IN LIFE on all levels…. And it’s true I feel when my toilets are clean I feel The house is clean..and my Life ❤️🇨🇦.
I love Dissolving rhassoul/ red Moroccan clay in some water in a reusable squeeze bottle, or in a silicone bowl and using it in my hair. It rinses out beautifully and takes the same amount of time as shampoo, I find. If I want to switch things up and use a shampoo bar, I LOVE Ethique's Bar minimum unscented shampoo bar. I use diluted apple cider vinegar infused with hair-loving herbs as my conditioner and do a last rinse under cool water. I'l put a little oil on the ends while my hair is still damp. Less soap scum to clean, less garbage to toss, and my scalp and hair have majorly transformed!
My bathroom is small and gets quite cluttered. I've been deep cleaning it slowly, 15 minutes a day. It has made me reflect on what things I need/use and what I can stop buying or simplify. Thanks for always motivating us to be mindful of our waste and look for ways to use what we have. ❤😊
Your authenticity and simplicity shine brightly through your videos, reminding us all of the beauty in genuine moments. Your presence on RUclips is a precious gift, and the way you embrace life's simple joys is truly inspiring. Keep being your wonderful self, as your uniqueness is a rare and cherished gem in a world that often craves complexity. Thank you for sharing your light with us! 💕💕💕
Thankyou for the beautiful words and video it really landed with me as I’ve been doing cleanings as a job recently out of need and have had that feeling of somewhat seeming to be at rock bottom scrubbing toilets but recently I read a quote that God brings you to rock bottom to help you see that He is the rock at the bottom 😊 and that made me feel better. And hearing this video makes me feel doubly more positive too so Thankyou so much. It is very humbling but I do feel that it’s good for my ego and good for my gratitude 🙏 i think it is helping to give simplicity to my heart ♥️ Thankyou for sharing this sweet sattvic message 🌺
Since having my daughter a few months ago I’ve found it so hard to reduce waste and be sustainable...tiredness, being overwhelmed playing a part. This video is great motivation x
I didn’t clean properly for the first 6 months after our daughter was born. It takes time. Go easy on yourself. I too was just so tired and overwhelmed.
Was hoping to see a video from you this week. Always look forward to seeing what you're up to. Something as mundane as cleaning the bathroom can give so much pleasure to see it when it's all done. Have a great month.
Those are all excellent tips. I have found if you wipe down the shower after your finished it cuts the cleaning in half. I keep a squeegee in the shower and go over the entire shower including the shower floor. Keeps everything squeeky clean. A simple wipedown with vinegar is all I ever need doing this daily routine.
I totally agree!! We have hard water that can stain as we live in the wilderness of northern 🇨🇦. Like you, we have found that wiping down the shower after use leaves it shiny clean, and this cuts the scrubby-cleaning in half. Sometimes it can seem like a bit of a hassle, but it takes just a moment or two and it saves on scrubby-cleaning in the long run. Great tip, thanks for sharing. Greetings to you from 🇨🇦. Ⓜ️ary
I really love this. Cleaning the bathroom is indeed humbling. I never thought about it before but from now on, I will acknowledge it. Thank you for the cleaning recipes!
I find I’ve always been inspired to do a full home deep clean both in spring and autumn for bookend purposes. For autumn it feels right to reset the home before you go into the winter when you’re prone to staying in more and want to make sure you’re setting your immune system up for the best chance. Obviously the spring again to reset after a full winter of heavy use. Obviously still cleaning the basic regularly like you say to remind yourself you’re a living being who leaves behind a life trail that sometimes needs scrubbing up after.
Would love to see a future video about how you go about getting toys or clothes for your little one - what you get secondhand, what you make, and what you buy, etc... or anything related to simple living with a toddler :)
Great video. I needed to listen to your calming voice today. My mom always cleaned the bathroom daily after everyone left the house. There were 7 of us so it was probably necessary. She continued when there were only 2 of us left. Anyone earning an honest living to support themselves and their families is to be commended. Respecting others is so important. Your home is so calm. I still have too much stuff and need to sell or give it away soon. Your little faerie and my granddaughter are close in age. She brings absolute joy to our lives. Her giggles are beautiful. Take care❤
I’m wishing you a happy new year, and hoping you are all well. I really miss your videos, though I know how hard it is to keep going when you have a little one. 🤗
Ok. Truth be told, you make it look fun. I love the flashback on the Little Fairy putting toys in the the tub , then and now. Wonderful touch. In my tiny picture, the little fairy on my lap ? Is now a grandfather to my 8 yr old great grand daughter. I’m telling you, time flies by❣️
I was awestruck by your beautiful country Having spent Aug/Sept in Ennis, Co.Claire with my daughter's family. Irish were so kind to me and I returned home to Sri Lanka with such gratitude....❤❤
I usually start ‘nesting’ in September - when my kids were starting back to school each year. Now my kids are in their 20’s and I still do that. Getting things ready for the school season. I love it. Thanks for your content.
A notification from you is a gift for me. I listen to your voice repetitively EVERY NIGHT because it calms my nerves so much, my sister thinks I'm weird for making your voice a lullaby 😂💜
Yesterday my mum and I actually deep cleaned our bedrooms ! And I cleaned some parts of the walls and some furniture that had a bit of dirt. I am also going to help her declutter during this fall so she can enjoy more free space in her home. Maybe all the house will end up getting a deep clean as well 😉 Thank you for a refreshing and calming video as always !
The lesson your dad taught you when you were a little girl were so touching. You’re lucky to be taught that way and now you’re becoming the kindest parent and you have so much love for other. I hope you continue to shared your story that inspire you to be you. Thank you for sharing as always.
Dear beautiful , thank you for this video , it motivated me to clean my windows for the end of summer . I did clean my bathroom last week and I will do the rest of my one bedroom condo . I'm 60 years old with hearth problem and cant clean my 500 square feet unit in one day so I have to do it once at a time. We love you and your videos and waiting for next one. 👏🏻🙌🙏💐💝💌
Good morning dear. I stopped using microfiber clothes several years ago when a friend informed me that the cloth was made of plastic (polyester and polyamide or nylon) and that it was extremely abrasive on my hands and cleaning surface.😢 I switched to old cotton t-shirts cut into squares and retired kitchen wash cloths no longer suitable for the kitchen. Lovely video and a great reminder to try to make cleaning enjoyable. 😊 I think I'll go clean my bathroom now. Have a blessed day. ❤
I'm having trouble picturing the owners of Panasonic and Honda cleaning their own toilets. What a charming little bathroom you have. Thank you for the great information.
Always the best idea to keep up with daily cleaning. It really makes a difference as far as not having to do big cleanings if things get too grimy. I put together a chore list and each day have a few tasks…so I split them up during the week. It helps to do them in little chunks through the week vs all at once.
I love cleaning the bathroom! Cleaning the loo everyday is a ritual i enjoy. I also clean the hand basin everyday. I had forgotten how soothing and relaxing your voice is. Much love to you and your family xx
So satisfying to see your bathroom sparkle. Lately, I've been cleaning all the walls and dusting around and behind all artwork on the walls. It's so dusty! I've also cleaned the ceiling fans, which are now free of dust. It's nicer to breathe without dust motes in the air. My normal motto is that dust is a protective coating for your fine furniture. I could clean more often than I do. I use microfiber cloths along with vinegar, baking soda, and Castile soap to clean most everything. Everything smells fresher, which is to say there's no scent at all. PS - Happy to see the little fairy's glee with her bath toys. That's a satisfying use for a sparkling clean bathroom--to polish up your tiny fairy and help her sparkle ever more brightly.
Fall puts me in the mood to declutter. I like to do a large one at the start of the year and the end of summer. I also like to deep clean as well when fall is starting.
When i was 16 years old I worked as a janitor at night and went to school during the day! I was called the latrine queen and the can can girl because I cleaned all the bathrooms in the large office building downtown! I was small and the big old marble urinals were taller than me!! Is was a hard job but I had the nicest car at school and it was all mine! That job taught me so much! I agree, it keeps you humble! Xo
I recently watched the video stating that cleaning your toilet daily is a habit of successful people. I've also heard that baking soda and vinegar is what a biochemist uses for grout, one of my children researched that. I'm going to try it this week. I started using half the amount of laundry detergent as recommended and then a friend gave me her homemade laundry detergent recipe that is very inexpensive and no unnecessary packaging. I've enjoyed watching your videos.
I wanted to thank you for the bathroom glass cleaning tip. It worled like magic and all the stains were gone! 😊 Everyone was surprised at home.. We have been living in this home for past 13 years or so and lately the water stains had become a nuicance ..we had tried so many things ( including expensive chemicals) but nothing worked. I never thought of using the iron fiber mesh and now the door is like brand new❤ Love to the Little fairy ✨ Manisha
Borax is such a wonderful bathroom cleaner; I've used it over the years but often forget or don't have it on hand. You've convinced me to make it a staple! Thank you so much for continuing to take the time to make videos for us. They are such a calm and peaceful respite from the world.
Quick cleaning the bathroom everyday is so easy and feels so good. I do it as part of my morning routine. I spray the surfaces and then do what needs to be done ;) . I brush teeth then wipe the sink and counter down. Add a bit of cleaners to the toilet and let it sit then swish with a brush. A quick wipe of all the porcelain and done. A wipe of the mirror with a microfiber cloth kept under the sink for exactly that purposed. I also wipe down the shower walls and door every evening when I shower. I still need to deep clean it weekly but that takes much less time.
So lovely to see your little fairy at the end. She’s growing so quickly! I watched the same video about the Japanese and was also very inspired. I don’t look at cleaning my bathroom quite the same way after that! Have a nice month and I look forward to another visit soon. Take care, Niamh and thank you. ❤
I love all your videos, you have a very calming voice. Just keep on posting weekly new videos and you will gain massive viewers, they will be updated and excited if it is on weekly basis. Keep it up and good luck!
Just discovered your channel last night and I'm so grateful I have. You're way of simple intentional living is so beautiful and something I'm trying to implement as I come towards the end of my 20s. Hoping to see you on RUclips for years to come. Cheers❤
Now I feel like cleaning ❤ I find that cleaning my home makes me more connected to it and love it more. It feels more familiar and like home after I clean the floor and toilet
I house clean deeply twice a year : beginning of spring and beginning of septembre. I remove everything just to help with fine vibs and a shiny sweet home, declutering and using natural products, of course. I love cleaning my bathroom 'cause I feel in peace with my beauty routine then. This is a place where I need to be without any dirt, surrounded by organic products: soaps, flower waters.... And my toilets must be shiny too😊I take care of my bathroom as I take care of myself. 🌟
We just moved to a new place end of May and I have been enjoying giving a thorough clean to my bathroom every Sunday since... I used to not like cleaning the bathroom but knowing that this is my place, there's something special about it! I also use water/vinegar with tea tree oil and baking soda! Your new bathroom is lovely! And I love the window!
I remember hearing a woman and new mother say years ago that she knew it was time to return to paid work when she found herself cleaning bathroom grout with a toothbrush. Everyone in the room laughed, but ive since remembered her words whenever i find myself cleaning grout with a toothbrush. I couldnt identify with her words because i dont have the option to not clean my grout, but i can identify with yours words. Its a lovely perspective for me to contemplate when im cleaning our bathroom. Thankyou.
It's funny you posted this video. I am currently in the final stages of deep cleaning my house. The "Autumn in the air" feel also spurs me to clean for the upcoming indoor months. Lovely video
I feel more enthusiastic about cleaning in spring. In autumn, I struggle with low energy, due to the shorter days and lower light levels. This time of year, I am more focussed on the garden, especially taking cuttings of plants that won't survive the winter outside. And decluttering inside the house to make space to bring all those cuttings in (there are a lot!!!)
I agree with what you shared that we are facing with so much toxic around us, chemicals as well as ideas in endless forms. It’s important to go back to simple basic natural forms. I love cleaning the “throne”.
I always clean my toilet every day. I use my own cleaner of a spray bottle with half rubbing alcohol and half peroxide and a few drops of tea tree oil. As I’m getting ready for shower or bed, I spray my toilet and clean it with the toilet brush and spray the lid, seat, floor under it (I have two messy children who always spill when using the potty). It just takes me a minute or two bc I do it daily 💕 I also use that spray as shower cleaner and even gargle with it. 💕
I love cleaning toilets and the sink but not a big lover of the shower I've been a cleaner before I had children and now I'm 60 this year thank you for this great video love and blessings 💜🌸🌼😊
Always such a joy to tune in and see what’s happening in your neck of the woods there in Fairyland 🥰. I loved all the points you shared on humility and will keep them in mind as I go about my daily home tasks. Thinking of you all~ thanks so much for another wonderful video. Sending lotsa love from Oz ~❤😊
Never thought cleaning the bathroom could be made so lovely. My husband doesn't like cleaning the bathroom, but I've never minded. I find it very satisfying to get the dirtiest room in the house fresh and clean. Thanks for sharing, you've definitely given me some inspiration for my next cleaning 😊 and happy pre-autumn to you! 🍁🍂🧡
thanks for your bathroom-wisdom and your cleaning-meditation so to speak 🙂! never really thought of cleaning like this before, but definitly will more often, from now on. thank you !!🙏
Such a good feeling when you complete a project like deep cleaning. Your bathroom looked so clean and fresh. Always a joy to watch your videos. So calming and peaceful. Your little girl is so adorable. Thank you for sharing. I look forward to your next video ❤
I look forward to your videos! You have such a calming presence with so many words of wisdom! Thank you for sharing a little bit of your life with us. 🌻
Niamh, I have one tip. Try to always begin with dusting your walls and ceilings before you clean the other areas the lower specifically. You know the reason :) And speaking about Humility, excellent topic, thanks so much. I am struggling between my ideal self and my real self, so to speak always gets in the way leaving me frustrated, ungrateful, and restless. Your video was so useful
Our ideal self and real self. I love this. There is always a struggle. I work on accepting the real self otherwise I find I get overwhelmed with everything to do

Great reminder on keeping life simple as well as free from toxic products. Bathroom looked sparkling clean ❤

I totally agree.
The cleaners etc are the most important people in the world.
If I am in a public bathroom, I always thank the cleaner in there 🙏
I enjoyed this philosophical discussion so much. It is so true we don't focus enough on our inner growth.
Very satisfying to have a clean bathroom! Little fairy is adorable. Thanks for all the tips!

Your authenticity and simplicity shine brightly through your videos, reminding us all of the beauty in genuine moments. Your presence on RUclips is a precious gift, and the way you embrace life's simple joys is truly inspiring. Keep being your wonderful self, as your uniqueness is a rare and cherished gem in a world that often craves complexity. Thank you for sharing your light with us! 💕💕💕
Thank you so much. Your words are a gift to me. 😊❤
Thankyou for the beautiful words and video it really landed with me as I’ve been doing cleanings as a job recently out of need and have had that feeling of somewhat seeming to be at rock bottom scrubbing toilets but recently I read a quote that God brings you to rock bottom to help you see that He is the rock at the bottom 😊 and that made me feel better. And hearing this video makes me feel doubly more positive too so Thankyou so much. It is very humbling but I do feel that it’s good for my ego and good for my gratitude 🙏 i think it is helping to give simplicity to my heart ♥️ Thankyou for sharing this sweet sattvic message 🌺
I'm looking forward to the new video so much 🧚♂️🍂🧚♀️
We’re just coming into spring, so a good time for me to spring clean.
Happy spring!
Since having my daughter a few months ago I’ve found it so hard to reduce waste and be sustainable...tiredness, being overwhelmed playing a part. This video is great motivation x
I didn’t clean properly for the first 6 months after our daughter was born. It takes time. Go easy on yourself. I too was just so tired and overwhelmed.
Was hoping to see a video from you this week. Always look forward to seeing what you're up to. Something as mundane as cleaning the bathroom can give so much pleasure to see it when it's all done. Have a great month.
I love when it’s done 😂 so worth it
Thank you for showing us how you can clean a bathroom without all the toxic cleaners as well as a reminder to clean the room more often!
Glad it was helpful!
I clean my bathroom pretty much every day as 4 adults use it! I deep clean once a month which makes it so much easier!
Those are all excellent tips. I have found if you wipe down the shower after your finished it cuts the cleaning in half. I keep a squeegee in the shower and go over the entire shower including the shower floor. Keeps everything squeeky clean. A simple wipedown with vinegar is all I ever need doing this daily routine.
I totally agree!! We have hard water that can stain as we live in the wilderness of northern 🇨🇦. Like you, we have found that wiping down the shower after use leaves it shiny clean, and this cuts the scrubby-cleaning in half. Sometimes it can seem like a bit of a hassle, but it takes just a moment or two and it saves on scrubby-cleaning in the long run. Great tip, thanks for sharing. Greetings to you from 🇨🇦. Ⓜ️ary
I have actually noticed that since I deep cleaned. The squidgy I have works to keep the tiles clean. Magic!
I really love this. Cleaning the bathroom is indeed humbling. I never thought about it before but from now on, I will acknowledge it. Thank you for the cleaning recipes!
I find I’ve always been inspired to do a full home deep clean both in spring and autumn for bookend purposes. For autumn it feels right to reset the home before you go into the winter when you’re prone to staying in more and want to make sure you’re setting your immune system up for the best chance. Obviously the spring again to reset after a full winter of heavy use.
Obviously still cleaning the basic regularly like you say to remind yourself you’re a living being who leaves behind a life trail that sometimes needs scrubbing up after.
Oh that sweet little moment at the end when you show the difference of the last year 😢❤
Missing your soothing voice,hope everything is fine ❤❤❤, waiting for your next video,much love from India
Would love to see a future video about how you go about getting toys or clothes for your little one - what you get secondhand, what you make, and what you buy, etc... or anything related to simple living with a toddler :)
Great video. I needed to listen to your calming voice today. My mom always cleaned the bathroom daily after everyone left the house. There were 7 of us so it was probably necessary. She continued when there were only 2 of us left. Anyone earning an honest living to support themselves and their families is to be commended. Respecting others is so important.
Your home is so calm. I still have too much stuff and need to sell or give it away soon.
Your little faerie and my granddaughter are close in age. She brings absolute joy to our lives. Her giggles are beautiful. Take care❤
I feel like I had a reboot watching this video, I felt so incredibly calm after. I needed that reminder to simplify my life little by little :)
I’m wishing you a happy new year, and hoping you are all well. I really miss your videos, though I know how hard it is to keep going when you have a little one. 🤗
Ok. Truth be told, you make it look fun.
I love the flashback on the Little Fairy putting toys in the the tub , then and now. Wonderful touch.
In my tiny picture, the little fairy on my lap ? Is now a grandfather to my 8 yr old great grand daughter. I’m telling you, time flies by❣️
Wow that made me tear up. How special life is to be a great grand parent.
So glad I make it look fun cleaning 😂
I was awestruck by your beautiful country
Having spent Aug/Sept in Ennis, Co.Claire with my daughter's family. Irish were so kind to me and I returned home to Sri Lanka with such gratitude....❤❤
I usually start ‘nesting’ in September - when my kids were starting back to school each year. Now my kids are in their 20’s and I still do that. Getting things ready for the school season. I love it. Thanks for your content.
A notification from you is a gift for me. I listen to your voice repetitively EVERY NIGHT because it calms my nerves so much, my sister thinks I'm weird for making your voice a lullaby 😂💜
😂 I’m honoured to have a calming voice for you to fall asleep too. I wish it worked for my daughter too 😅
Not weird at all! I sleep so restfully when I visit Fairyland all night. 🥰
Wow, I really want to clean our bathrooms now. I want that feeling of walking into a hotel room. Nice and clean
Yesterday my mum and I actually deep cleaned our bedrooms ! And I cleaned some parts of the walls and some furniture that had a bit of dirt. I am also going to help her declutter during this fall so she can enjoy more free space in her home. Maybe all the house will end up getting a deep clean as well 😉 Thank you for a refreshing and calming video as always !
Nice to do it together! Many hands make light work 😁
The lesson your dad taught you when you were a little girl were so touching. You’re lucky to be taught that way and now you’re becoming the kindest parent and you have so much love for other. I hope you continue to shared your story that inspire you to be you. Thank you for sharing as always.
Where have you been? We miss you! I hope everything is ok.
Your thoughts on humility are so wise. If we could all grasp them the world could be transformed!
Your bathroom is lovely! I find cleaning my bathroom therapeutic. Thank you for sharing.😊
When its slightly cooler...im more motivated to clean for sure.
btw...reading the Bible humbles us also. 🛐
Love that! ❤
Dear beautiful , thank you for this video , it motivated me to clean my windows for the end of summer .
I did clean my bathroom last week and I will do the rest of my one bedroom condo .
I'm 60 years old with hearth problem and cant clean my 500 square feet unit in one day so I have to do it once at a time.
We love you and your videos and waiting for next one.
👏🏻🙌🙏💐💝💌
Thank you for being here my friend ❤
Good morning dear.
I stopped using microfiber clothes several years ago when a friend informed me that the cloth was made of plastic (polyester and polyamide or nylon) and that it was extremely abrasive on my hands and cleaning surface.😢
I switched to old cotton t-shirts cut into squares and retired kitchen wash cloths no longer suitable for the kitchen.
Lovely video and a great reminder to try to make cleaning enjoyable. 😊
I think I'll go clean my bathroom now.
Have a blessed day. ❤
Yes! I didn’t mean to say micro fibre. I use cotton cloth to wipe. Works a dream. 😊
I'm having trouble picturing the owners of Panasonic and Honda cleaning their own toilets. What a charming little bathroom you have. Thank you for the great information.
Always the best idea to keep up with daily cleaning. It really makes a difference as far as not having to do big cleanings if things get too grimy. I put together a chore list and each day have a few tasks…so I split them up during the week. It helps to do them in little chunks through the week vs all at once.
I love cleaning the bathroom! Cleaning the loo everyday is a ritual i enjoy. I also clean the hand basin everyday. I had forgotten how soothing and relaxing your voice is. Much love to you and your family xx
Haha I have actually got into a daily ritual of cleaning the toilet and basin since. Love having it clean. Hopefully I’ll keep it up!
So satisfying to see your bathroom sparkle. Lately, I've been cleaning all the walls and dusting around and behind all artwork on the walls. It's so dusty! I've also cleaned the ceiling fans, which are now free of dust. It's nicer to breathe without dust motes in the air. My normal motto is that dust is a protective coating for your fine furniture. I could clean more often than I do. I use microfiber cloths along with vinegar, baking soda, and Castile soap to clean most everything. Everything smells fresher, which is to say there's no scent at all. PS - Happy to see the little fairy's glee with her bath toys. That's a satisfying use for a sparkling clean bathroom--to polish up your tiny fairy and help her sparkle ever more brightly.
Fall puts me in the mood to declutter. I like to do a large one at the start of the year and the end of summer. I also like to deep clean as well when fall is starting.
Hi Niamh & family. Just to check in & say "hello, & hope all is good" Regards Rose 🌹🦋
Thanks Rose! We’re enjoying spring blooming here. Hope al is good for you too xxx☘️🪷❤️

When i was 16 years old I worked as a janitor at night and went to school during the day! I was called the latrine queen and the can can girl because I cleaned all the bathrooms in the large office building downtown! I was small and the big old marble urinals were taller than me!! Is was a hard job but I had the nicest car at school and it was all mine! That job taught me so much! I agree, it keeps you humble! Xo
Thanks for sharing. Loved to hear that
I recently watched the video stating that cleaning your toilet daily is a habit of successful people. I've also heard that baking soda and vinegar is what a biochemist uses for grout, one of my children researched that. I'm going to try it this week. I started using half the amount of laundry detergent as recommended and then a friend gave me her homemade laundry detergent recipe that is very inexpensive and no unnecessary packaging. I've enjoyed watching your videos.
I wanted to thank you for the bathroom glass cleaning tip. It worled like magic and all the stains were gone! 😊 Everyone was surprised at home..
We have been living in this home for past 13 years or so and lately the water stains had become a nuicance ..we had tried so many things ( including expensive chemicals) but nothing worked. I never thought of using the iron fiber mesh and now the door is like brand new❤
Love to the Little fairy ✨
Manisha
thank you for reminding me to clean the bathroom today
Borax is such a wonderful bathroom cleaner; I've used it over the years but often forget or don't have it on hand. You've convinced me to make it a staple! Thank you so much for continuing to take the time to make videos for us. They are such a calm and peaceful respite from the world.
Thanks Laura for continuing to watch monthly. Happy borax cleaning 😁
Quick cleaning the bathroom everyday is so easy and feels so good. I do it as part of my morning routine. I spray the surfaces and then do what needs to be done ;) . I brush teeth then wipe the sink and counter down. Add a bit of cleaners to the toilet and let it sit then swish with a brush. A quick wipe of all the porcelain and done. A wipe of the mirror with a microfiber cloth kept under the sink for exactly that purposed. I also wipe down the shower walls and door every evening when I shower. I still need to deep clean it weekly but that takes much less time.
You can keep bamboo toothbrushes from molding by oiling them with an eco-friendly butcher block style oil. It works great!
Ah brilliant!!
So lovely to see your little fairy at the end. She’s growing so quickly! I watched the same video about the Japanese and was also very inspired. I don’t look at cleaning my bathroom quite the same way after that! Have a nice month and I look forward to another visit soon. Take care, Niamh and thank you. ❤
Thank you so much Michele! Have a lovely month too ❤
I love all your videos, you have a very calming voice. Just keep on posting weekly new videos and you will gain massive viewers, they will be updated and excited if it is on weekly basis. Keep it up and good luck!
Just discovered your channel last night and I'm so grateful I have. You're way of simple intentional living is so beautiful and something I'm trying to implement as I come towards the end of my 20s. Hoping to see you on RUclips for years to come. Cheers❤
Now I feel like cleaning ❤ I find that cleaning my home makes me more connected to it and love it more. It feels more familiar and like home after I clean the floor and toilet
So so true. I know what you mean ❤
I house clean deeply twice a year : beginning of spring and beginning of septembre. I remove everything just to help with fine vibs and a shiny sweet home, declutering and using natural products, of course. I love cleaning my bathroom 'cause I feel in peace with my beauty routine then. This is a place where I need to be without any dirt, surrounded by organic products: soaps, flower waters.... And my toilets must be shiny too😊I take care of my bathroom as I take care of myself. 🌟
I’m obsessed now with having a shiny toilet 😂
We just moved to a new place end of May and I have been enjoying giving a thorough clean to my bathroom every Sunday since... I used to not like cleaning the bathroom but knowing that this is my place, there's something special about it! I also use water/vinegar with tea tree oil and baking soda! Your new bathroom is lovely! And I love the window!
Isn’t the window cute. It’s wooden so we had to get a waterproof blind to use over it when showering
I remember hearing a woman and new mother say years ago that she knew it was time to return to paid work when she found herself cleaning bathroom grout with a toothbrush. Everyone in the room laughed, but ive since remembered her words whenever i find myself cleaning grout with a toothbrush. I couldnt identify with her words because i dont have the option to not clean my grout, but i can identify with yours words. Its a lovely perspective for me to contemplate when im cleaning our bathroom. Thankyou.
I always have a smile when I get finished with cleaning the home XO
It's funny you posted this video. I am currently in the final stages of deep cleaning my house. The "Autumn in the air" feel also spurs me to clean for the upcoming indoor months. Lovely video
I clean the bathroom and toilet every day. Makes me happy to think it is a good thing for my soul too! What do you know!!
I feel more enthusiastic about cleaning in spring. In autumn, I struggle with low energy, due to the shorter days and lower light levels. This time of year, I am more focussed on the garden, especially taking cuttings of plants that won't survive the winter outside. And decluttering inside the house to make space to bring all those cuttings in (there are a lot!!!)
I agree with what you shared that we are facing with so much toxic around us, chemicals as well as ideas in endless forms. It’s important to go back to simple basic natural forms. I love cleaning the “throne”.
I always clean my toilet every day. I use my own cleaner of a spray bottle with half rubbing alcohol and half peroxide and a few drops of tea tree oil. As I’m getting ready for shower or bed, I spray my toilet and clean it with the toilet brush and spray the lid, seat, floor under it (I have two messy children who always spill when using the potty). It just takes me a minute or two bc I do it daily 💕 I also use that spray as shower cleaner and even gargle with it. 💕
I love cleaning toilets and the sink but not a big lover of the shower I've been a cleaner before I had children and now I'm 60 this year thank you for this great video love and blessings 💜🌸🌼😊
Always such a joy to tune in and see what’s happening in your neck of the woods there in Fairyland 🥰. I loved all the points you shared on humility and will keep them in mind as I go about my daily home tasks.
Thinking of you all~ thanks so much for another wonderful video. Sending lotsa love from Oz ~❤😊
Glad you enjoyed it! Lovely to have you here ❤
💕@@FairylandCottage
So enjoyed your vlog. I enjoy cleaning and deep clean my bathroom weekly. Spring and fall bring out the extreme clean/declutter moods for me.
Never thought cleaning the bathroom could be made so lovely. My husband doesn't like cleaning the bathroom, but I've never minded. I find it very satisfying to get the dirtiest room in the house fresh and clean. Thanks for sharing, you've definitely given me some inspiration for my next cleaning 😊 and happy pre-autumn to you! 🍁🍂🧡
That’s what I feel too after cleaning. ❤
thanks for your bathroom-wisdom and your cleaning-meditation so to speak 🙂! never really thought of cleaning like this before, but definitly will more often, from now on. thank you !!🙏
Heheh cleaning meditation. I like that! ❤
Thank you for reminding me keeping life simple in such beautiful and calming videos!!!
Such a good feeling when you complete a project like deep cleaning. Your bathroom looked so clean and fresh. Always a joy to watch your videos. So calming and peaceful. Your little girl is so adorable. Thank you for sharing. I look forward to your next video ❤
Thank you Lynda ❤
Thanks for the video...and your precious little fairy makes them extra special! Have a lovely weekend as a family! Blessings!🍀
I look forward to your videos! You have such a calming presence with so many words of wisdom! Thank you for sharing a little bit of your life with us. 🌻
Ah thanks for being here too ❤
Niamh, I have one tip. Try to always begin with dusting your walls and ceilings before you clean the other areas the lower specifically. You know the reason :)
And speaking about Humility, excellent topic, thanks so much. I am struggling between my ideal self and my real self, so to speak always gets in the way leaving me frustrated, ungrateful, and restless. Your video was so useful
Our ideal self and real self. I love this. There is always a struggle. I work on accepting the real self otherwise I find I get overwhelmed with everything to do
