"Perfectionism is the enemy of a clean house"! Thanks for that.
it's not lazy, it's clever. We have to clean regularly so quick tips like these are great and make it less of a chore...you give us a great idea and show how it's done too, so we can think, yes I can do that too- so off I go to do some cleaning....
Thanks for the tips. You are right when you say “work smarter, not harder”
Thanks, it's so true!
I do a version of this where I go into a messy room, feel overwhelmed and turn on the timer just to see what I can do in 5 minutes. When the timer goes off I move onto a different room and do 5 minutes there. It's not so boring & it REALLY makes a difference; am always amazed in what I can accomplish in five mintues. I usually have music on to motivate me too!
Kathleen Sauer That’s a great idea! So instead of mindlessly going back-and-forth between rooms all day which is what I do and none of my rooms actually get finished I’ll actually focus on one room for five minutes that might help me out. Thanks!
This lady is brilliant with the one minute concept!
+Jay Richest OMG this is the way to clean!
I always used this at work at home I try to pretend I'm getting paid
Your videos have changed my house thank you 1000 times
I think this is my favorite inspiration of all time for a procrastinator like me. I came back to it years later to remind me!
This little tip has changed my life-instead wasting time & energy of dread, I just do it. I feel so much better after the task is completed. This is now a habit after almost two weeks. Thank u sooooo much. Keep sharing. You are very much appreciated.
Definitely going to use the 1 minute rule. I am a disabled mom of 5 and this is going to change my life. Thank you for being so real. Bless you! :-)
I know! She is so real! I struggle to be organized and this will really help me.
Roxanne Joyner There's a Good Saying-"Never Waste an Up" It means if U're Going by something Out of Place-Grab it on the Way By, and Put it where it Goes.

Saves alot of Steps L8tr...
Thank you for inspiring me... going to share this tip with my kids and their wives when they get married... I cleaned a bunch of things.. infact 3 rooms! ... Each time I began a task I started counting 60 seconds. Wow! Got a lot done.. but found that I did about 15 things (not counted in the one minute) ... hehe. Total .. about an hour.. (included some mending of clothes).. yes I'm a mom. Feeling good about myself.
I have a short attention span, so I've found streaming music over my phone helpful. I spend one song focusing on one chore, then move on to the next with the next song.
RegularAssUsername that sounds really helpful and i'm definitely going to try it. thank you
vinyog woo I like to Blast some Chuck Berry Music when Dusting or Washing Floors-Keeps me Motivated.
Beach Boys also Works...
“I’m really really lazy.” Thanks for being so honest and real. This was very eye opening and inspiring. Thank you!!!
Lol I thought I was the only one who mopped the shower, after I got a back injury I had to figure out a way to clean smarter without straining my back. Really enjoyed this video ^_^!
I do that as well :)
It's the only way
when I had a toddler and after he ate the highchair was a mess, I'd put the chair in the shower for 5 minutes w hot water, after that all the sticky stuff came off easily with a dry rag. I did this once a week or so just wiping down daily. This was the "deep clean" i did once a week or so so get out the nitty gritty in the seams etc..
What a great idea - wish I had thought of that instead of spending hours wiping around every bit of the high chair, every day!!

Made my bed, dusted a shelf in the bedroom and quickly vacuumed the room while watching! I feel so accomplished to have got all that done in ten mins. Room isn't perfect but I see a lot of one or two min things that will help in the berm alone! Thanks for the heatwave inspiration. I've been waiting for a cooler day.
Good job, thanks for the motivation!!
I bought a Hoover Steam Mop with a triangular, swivel head that gets into the corners. It comes with 3 reusable pads (machine washable) and heats up in less than a minute and it's so easy to use and store. Less than $100 from Amazon. It's the BEST investment I've made in a long time when it comes to cleaning tools. I no longer hate to mop!!!
I love you, and get very tired watching you go! Thanks for the help! I'm 62, raised 6 kids working, my Mom died when I was little so my Dad ,brother and me lived like bachelor's. We cooked and did dishes, but that was it! I live in a filthy house, and you are showing me stuff I never dreamed of cleaning. Thank you!
I just love your videos. I started watching 4 months ago and you have change my life. keeping my home clean with your help is much easier. Thank you.
Oh my gosh! You rock!! That's a phrase I use all the time: Work smarter; not harder! I hate cleaning, but I love it when my house is clean, so I've implemented a lot of your ideas, to help me keep my house clean!! Thanks for sharing your ideas!
I love the makeup tray. I don't have counter space in my bathroom so I keeps makeup in bags but I have to dig around for stuff. The bin system seems better.
I know people who are "clean" but they're homes are untidy and disorganized because they obsess over something being cleaned a certain way while the rest of the house goes down the tubes. Or their homes are super-clean, over-tidy spartan museums because they spend too much time cleaning and you don't really want to visit them because you and your family are not allowed to sit here, step there, put your drink there. For these people, floors, surfaces have to be cleaned with a very specific cleaning product, on hands and knees or not at all. Cleaning most things this way is time-consuming and hard to maintain. That kind of cleaning method is also overwhelming. This video of yours is definitely one of my favorites because it will help me greatly. I'm a tidy person but not a scrubber (I'm a lazy cleaner).
Great tip...anyone can find the time for one minute cleaning...love it!
I use dollar store brooms to scrub my tubs/showers. First scrubbing bubbles. I leave that a while while I do the toilet and sink and then I sprinkle some cleanser and scrub the tub and shower walls. Comes out sparkly.
I bought some little suction cup hooks once that you put on your shower wall, hung up the blinds, and sprayed them down. Worked great. Love your videos!
I love you!! I am a mother of two young children and constantly find myself overwhelmed by the overload of tasks. THIS sounds fun and I am eager to see what I can get done in 1 minute or less!! Thank you so much for this!!
I like the simplicity. One minute may not be enough time to do some things, but then I'd rather set a smaller goal or add an extra minute than start off with more. Nothing wrong with splitting the bathroom up into a few minute-tasks if need be. I think I'd still get each task done quicker than if I said 5 mins to clean the whole thing, or whatever.
Not that I've really cleaned my bathroom this year.
BlackAngusYoung Yep-Once a YEAR-Whether U NEED it or NOT!

Grrreat cleaning tips! Using a mop on the floor shower, spot cleaning the mirror, all great ideas.I never knew you could literally wash your window blinds in the shower. Can't wait to try that. 1 minute or approximately 1 minute is PERFECT cleaning time for me! Good video..Thanks for sharing!
Thank you. I have used the one-minute rule for years and I know that it works. So, now you have now told me to expand upon its use and I will work on doing so. I am sure that I will benefit. I appreciated the video.
This made me laugh, but put things in a simple new perspective for me....im about to rapidly attack my chores...and setting a timer for a min a chore will keep me from getting stuck or distracted....super helpful!!! Thank u!!!
I would say your smart not lazy! 💟
Great tips!
I use a swiffer mop to clean mold off my bathroom ceiling, works pretty well:) love the video!
OhMyGoodnessGraciousAlive! THANK YOU! I truly appreciate your videos. I love your sweet disposition, you are so honest. And you give me the go-ahead to use short cuts, which serve the same purpose as what would ordinarily take all day, starting with making my infamous time wasting "List of All the Things I Need to Do in Life Before I Start Cleaning Today". I spent 1 hour and 15 minutes last week watching a video titled "How to Clean Your Entire 3-Level House in Five Minutes or Less". Lesson Learned; I was 1 hour and 20 minutes older now, with only my dust rag and can of Pledge in hand. Thank you❣
Thank you, I'm so glad it helps!
I hate sheets, they are useless and end up on the floor after the night. I use a fitted sheet, and a blanket. Screw that. lol
Yeah but I hate washing blankets so I don't want to do it as often.
I don't care for bottom sheets either - i much prefer the softest blanket i can find as my bottom sheet (like the supersoft microPlush ones ... absolute Heaven, especially sleeping au naturale :-)
I agree and do the same thing. Sheets are so pointless! lol
I learned to live without flat sheets when I moved to Germany. Can't even find them here. Yes they are totally useless
My husband hates sheets too! But they are designed to keep our filth off the comforter lol. I love the feeling of sliding down under the sheets too.
Thank you so much for this video. I stumbled upon it feeling really overwhelmed with my messy home. I'm proud to say you inspired me to set a timer and see what all I could accomplish in a minute. 45 minutes later and my home is completely clean. Thanks again.
Elsa Martinez I need a timer that will set for 45 hrs,lol
Love your enthusiasm. Great tips!
B Mop the shower...OMG! You've changed my life!!! All Fabulous tips! Including the blind in the shower tip.LOVE LOVE LOVE all these tips!!!
Brilliant as usual! I can do anything in one minute :-). I think we psych ourselves out when we look at cleaning, thinking it will take much longer than it actually does. As a result, we freeze and the task just gets worse and worse.
I love all these tips, especially cleaning the bathroom shower. I use a swiffer to clean my shower wall and other walls in our home.
I sooo needed this motivation! My hubby and three kids have been sick this past week also and I'm EXHAUSTED and feeling lazy!!! Thanks so much for this great video!!
This is great! I love your bedroom so much :) I tagged you my most recent video, would love to see your Organized.Cheap.Life picks. xo!
Oh my gosh, cleaning the shower with a mop is so clever! I never would have thought of that, but I love it and I'm trying it later today. I go the SUPER lazy route and use one of those sprays you don't have to wipe off after every shower, but sometimes the tile needs a good scrub. I'm giving your method a try.
Like the idea of cleaning the blinds in the shower 👍🏽
I love the fact that you and Sophie from My Great Challenge, prefer not to use a bucket and just use the mop over the sink. I have had every mop you can name, including the finest whizz mops, but I have to keep rinsing them under the tap, otherwise dirty water goes back on the floor again. I managed to get one with a double bucket, but you could hardly put any water in it, as they were not very big. So now I have seen you do the same, I been trying to get a Casabella mop, but they do not do them in the UK. So then I saw your Bee mop, so googled and no one over here does them. However, I have managed to get a very similar one, from a local shop called Lakeland, that they call the Squizzo mop, which is the same design as the casabella and bee mop, that I ordered today and can't wait for it to arrive, so I can not only do my floor with it, but also the bathroom tiles. Thank you ladies for all your hard work and inspiration you have given me. I was in such a muddle and got so stressed when it came to cleaning and getting organised. I now have conquered my kitchen and it always looks nice and tidy now. I have got the family all trained watching you guys and we now wash up as we go along. We never go to bed leaving an untidy kitchen, or bathroom. Lounge is getting there, but the main bugbear is my bedroom, as my lot use it as a dumping ground. Will get there in the end.
I didn't do any of my routines today. Decided to be lazy.....but after watching your video I was motivated and started cleaning. Thanks! :)
Your home is so spotless nd very neat, I love this one min cleaning, I must try it with the hubby lol! Thanx for the tips.
Way to go with the dusting idea! I keep a set of cleaning supplies upstairs and down so I do not have to go up and down the stairs constantly to get what I need. I am going to ADD one each of these dusters to those bins!
it's your fault I cleaned my bathroom today ;-) thank you
I like this 1 min rule, very motivating once you do it in a min, I start something else and then I can't stop cleaning lol.
Your videos thru the years have literally changed how I organize and clean. Love you and your fam and printables ALL OF IT. I get way too excited when you post a video :)
you live near a railway line, love that sound!
Those swiffie things are great! I use them all the time. I keep one in my nightstand.
I love time savers. It frees up extra time for watching my favorite RUclips channels....lol. I'm planning on using a few of these tips. Thanks.
You are amazing!!!! I like how quickly you cleaned your house. I am soooo excited to try this out with the help of my 9 year old daughter. We both enjoyed your tips. Thank you!
Wonderful tips! Thanks for sharing, I'm pulling out my old trusty timer today!
You motivated me! I had planned on spending 4 hours doing my bedroom and master bathroom! Just got my Saturday back!
You are quite right.
I can vacuum my entire apartment 330 square feet, in seven minutes.
When I discovered this, by timing it one day, years ago, I felt ashamed that I had ever delayed or put off vacuuming the floor.
.
Seven minutes is nothing, the vacuumed (rubber stud) floor stays clean looking on average for five days duration.
i clean house on commercial time when watching my fave SHOW
bamissfa this is what I am about to do today! Commercial breaks are about 2 minutes. Let’s see what I can do!
Awesome tip! You are so right... it's amazing what can be done in 1 min :) You have helped change my house so much!! thanks!
thank you, I use to think mopping would take forever and kept putting if off most times but now I'm going to do the one minute rule! love your vid
Love that your not trying to be perfect because real life isint !,there's just not enough hrs in a day as a mum.As always brilliant video watching you always cheers me up ! Thanks for sharing!
You rock.... it’s hard to be a working Mother of 2 and have a clean home.... luv it!
I've been doing the mop to clean the tub for years but would never admit it because when my cousin saw me she gasped in shock and disbelief.
Did she gasp in shock and disbelief when you smacked that look off her face?
LoL
Tell your cousin to relax!!
A mop is just a sponge on a stick.
;-)
Your Slob to Clean Freak video brought me here. Your enthusiasm is consistent. Love it! New subscriber...I'm sooooo motivated! Thank you for sharing! :0
I use to use a mop and bucket until I found the Swiffer mop. I love it so much better. You add a liquid bottle of cleaning solution on the back and spray the floor as needed while you go. You use a mop pad on the bottom of the mop and toss when done. No more dunking in the water and wringing it out.
You freakin ROCK....I SO NEED THIS IN MY LIFE. THE AMAZING 1 MIN. RULE..LOL...AND THE BLINDS IN THE SHOWER... GENIUS
I set the timer for 20 mins and stay in that room until the timer rings, I cannot rush around like you!
i need to dust my ceiling fans too!!....yes I use the glorox bleach cleaner too...and tilex for mold and mildew...i find if I spray clean after I shower along with my shower liner that really help keep my bathroom staying clean and fresh...and clorox wipes ....ooo i never thought of tossing the blinds in the shower to clean them!!!...these were some great tips!...so glad I found your channel
My parents made me make up my bed when I got up in the am and that habit has stayed with me .....it takes less than a minute and it keeps pet hairs, dust, etc from getting btwn the sheets, and at bedtime its ready for me to dive in✌
I like how your channel doesn't just benefit your viewers but it benefits you also because it keeps you accountable for keeping up with things :)
Thanks mother of four n always with a not so clean house I'm definitely going to try it.
with 5 kids its hard to keep the house clean but I do like that 1 minute rule will try.. thank you.. 😊😊😊😊
I love this I have four kids and a hubby at home and I feel like I'm always cleaning i think I may try this out
I have started cleaning my kitchen every night...all counters, etc, etc, etc....in under 5 minutes!!!!
sure as hell makes it easier on cleaning day!!!!
I love your videos. Before my house was dirty now I have a clean one and have new tricks
Although longer than one-minute, I unload the clean dishes and load the dirty dishes into the dishwasher while I'm waiting the 2 mins my chai takes in the microwave. I always thought it took longer to do it but then one day I did it, and I couldn't believe it was actually the same amount of time!
I make my own version of Fantastic w/ Bleach. I use 1 c Dawn and 1 c vinegar to clean the shower. Just a tip.
just what i needed to see! It's not that hard to keep a house clean, but we get lazy all the time. Great tip! thank you for making this video. :D
This is my go-to video when I need motivation to do my own chores at home (where I don't have the motivation of being paid to clean)!
Main thing I choose to do different is no Fantastic or bleach products etc. Vinegar, baking soda, and/or phosphate-free dish soap are all good at scrubbing up the bathroom. Vinegar spray and hydrogen peroxide spray replace bleach and Lysol.
This is great! I have practiced the one minute rule all week and my house is super clean and I feel like I am cleaning less. Thank you!
OMG!!!! I used to use a mop to clean my shower too!!! I thought I was the only one 😂
Felicia Alingu This is a great idea! I am disabled (arthritis) and it is sooo difficult for me to get up and down - on my knees - to clean our shower! This will be a life-saver! thanks! :-)
Suggestion: It's even MORE FUN if you have a beer first....especially if you haven't had a whole beer in more than a year! Yeah. THanks for the tip!
OK, it took me more than one minute I still managed to mop the kitchen this AM! Actually, I mopped the kitchen and foyer. I swept yesterday evening to get ready for the morning. I also heard you voice this AM in regards to SPOT clean my mirror. I had two dusters so I put one set upstair and one down. God bless you dear - God bless you!
Awe, thank you so much! Good for you!
Why is there an iron in your shower? lol
I like that no points for difficulty in cleaning, so true...
I love Swiffer dusters!! It takes me 20 min to do my entire condo. It also takes me two min to make my bed, a couple of min to do put the dishes in the dishwasher. I also discovered,which I love, Windex Antibacterial touch up cleaner. It's in a bottle that has a pump top. You place your rag over the top, pump it twice, the cleaner is on the rag and you clean!! YOu can also reuse the bottle and put in new cleaner of choice and use. Easy, breazy!! I also use this in the bathroom. YOu can get scrubbing bubbles shower cleaner in which you push a button and the device spreads cleaner over the tub. The next time you shower, the water cleans the tub and shower. Wonderful!!
Thank u 4 some cool time-saving tips!! I love your attitude towards cleaning etc... I certainly don't think you're lazy I think you're using your head to save a lot of time & unnecessary effort! Brilliant ideas thanks.
What is a 'B mop'? Or, maybe I misheard, is it 'D' or 'V' mop? After years of frustration, I finally found the perfect mop - the one made by OXO, costs a little more, but so worth it. I have used the kitchen sink, too. I understand some think that's gross, but if you wash and sanitize the sink after, what's the difference, really? Also, I always use two containers, one with hot water with a small amt of cleaner (Simple green or other), and the other with plain water to rinse the mop. With only one bucket, you're really just spreading dirty water around. Try it, makes a difference. And, thanks for all your tips!

I LOVE love love this one minute rule!!! I'm always so overwhelmed so this is great!!
Norwex envro and Norwex Window cloth is what I use on windows and mirrors. Less then a minute. Not time consuming at all. Wipe with wet.. wipe with dry... done!
LOVED YOUR 1-min bed makeover!!!
Aww good to see the family cat again; was afraid maybe something had happened to her since you added another pet to the household.
Never thought about the mop in the shower.. It's really smart lol think I'll be doing this instead of getting on my hands and knees to clean it! Thank you for the tips!!
I mop my mirrors and windows, too. Just spray the glass with Windex, place a sheet if paper towel over a clean dry sponge mop and start mopping, it's a little tricky keeping the paper on the sponge but it gets easier with practice. Takes a fraction of the time.
This is brilliant. You always come through with awesome tips on your videos right when I need them most! Thank you so much!
You should have your own show! Very organized!
I'm just gone to say it you rock you help make my life so much easier
Love your tips! I will give you one, get a doggy door. Dogs potty train so fast with a doggy door. I couldn't put one in the door so my husband framed one out in the wall. Believe me no one can get through there because I tried when I lost my keys. Plus my daughter's large dog will belly crawl through to get outside, it is a size small. Thanks for your tips hope mine helps you/.
Sondra Rodriguez I used to have a doggy door! My dogs loved it. Then a neighbor's dog, who was dirty and not neutered, started coming in my yard under the fence, to play with my dogs. When they came in, he came in too. I would come home from work and find him on my couch! LOL
oh thanks you for making this video it inspired me to clean all of my house using this tip and I love it
Love this video! Great for days that yr short on time or making motivation. I also find that after cleaning for 1 min I want to keep going. Thx hon!
You'd love the book From Pigpen to Paradise!!! I love you!
Loved the tips. As always thank you!!
