The only sure fire way I know to keep the Kitchen clean and tidy - is to keep the kids locked in the garage 😁 (and yes of course I'm joking) Your doing a great job x
hahahaha this comment is a winner! 😂
Too funny! 😂
When I’m cooking, I multi task to clean the dishes while food is being cooked. I also enjoy cooking. When I started to do a task I don’t like as much (dishes), while I’m doing a task I do like (cooking), then I don’t notice the disliked task as much (dishes). Also, when you finish cooking, hopefully most of your dishes are cleaned. You can enjoy your food and relax and know you have less dishes to do when you do go back to do a final clean up in the kitchen.
Wow aaawwwweeee some mommy power....GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY...
Mai I have the SAME beauty product problem. I’ve been off Sephora for a couple of years now and that helps but I definitely still have the problem 😬
This is precisely why we have a sit down and pee rule with the boys in my house 🤣 My 5 year old went to school this year and was like "I can pee standing?!" Inside I was like NOOOOOOO lol there goes my decently clean bathrooms.
To keep dishes quick, I clean as I go. I also learned about the different cycles available on my dishwasher. I can run it more frequently with less in it and still be energy and water efficient by selecting the top rack only quick cycle for example. Small frequent automatic routine tasks, no pile ups is the key to simplifying cleaning for me. This applies to laundry and understanding my washer and dryer settings too!
When I’m feeling overwhelmed about cleaning the kitchen (which is often) I set the timer for 5 or 10 minutes and tell myself to see how much I can get done by the time it goes off. It actually takes a lot less time to do it than it actually feels. Then I usually reset it again until it’s done.Sounds crazy but it does help motivate me.
Sounds great 💯
love this! Timers help me so much not only for my cleaning, but to motivate my kids to clean and get stuff done too!! :)
I do that too! It helps me very much to see how much i can get done in short time
Have your family(minus the 3 year old) start putting their own dishes in the dishwasher. Also, unless they've had a smoothie, only one cup/day. They can rinse it out, but otherwise, there's no need for multiple glasses/day. My sister's done this for years with her kids, and it works well.
After dinner, everyone gets a chore, and it's a weekly schedule. THat way no one is doing the same thing all week. It includes clearing and cleaning the table, sweeping, and dishes. Obv. start with age appropriate stuff, but if you get them now, by 6 they'll be able to really cut back on your work and having their dad involved will help you and show them that everyone contributes to the well-being of the family. It will also introduce cleaning to them which will make it easier for you to introduce doing their own laundry in future or cleaning around the house when they're older.
No having the kids do all the work isn't the end goal, but having them learn slowly overtime to be fully functioning adults by building life skills IS. You in the long run having less to do is just a bonus :) Even the 3 year old can start learning by bringing you his plate from the table or picking up and putting away "his age" in toys around the house (again my sister did that when they were young).
Lesson from my HS Home Ec teacher: fill a sink or dish pan with hot soapy water and toss in items as you cook. The water can get pretty yucky..no biggie. When done put what you can in the dishwasher and, if necessary, hand wash the rest with clean, soapy water. I recommend one of those wire dish drainers that roll over the other sink for drying. Even if you leave it across the sink when done it lays flat or roll it up to store. Game changer for me at under $20! You do an amazing job with everything!! XXOO ❤️
Hats off to your HS teacher !
@@thebusybees2006 I agree!
I've learned to clean as I go..so before I cook i will prep. I'll chop and set out the pans and utensils I need first. Then as something is sautéing I'll clean up what I used prior. Putting things into the dishwasher as I go and wiping up counters stations help reduce my overall mess when dinner is finally done.
Yes! This is how I do it! Then after the meal it's just rinsing plates, utencils, and cups! Especially on busy evenings when I am running the kids places - this allows us to get it all done before we leave so I don't come back to a mess after sports. Also, I run the dishwasher each night as I head to bed. Then I take out in the morning while I do coffee (someone else said this too) Then I have a empty dishwasher to start my day. Keeps me from having to run at a funky time and items piling up while it runs during the day
I'm a clean as I go kinda gal. When I'm cooking I start throwing stuff in my dishwasher asap. Takes no time and when dinner is done, easy peasy clean up.
Love the bits of asmr, really needed since I'm home with covid 💜💜
I agree. I liked the added touch of ASMR. And I too clean as I go. Put things in the dishwasher immediately even as you’re cooking. (:
Hope you feel better, Kayla!
Hope you're feeling better!!!! I need to get better at cleaning as I go :)
You're always my favorite cleaning and decluttering to watch. You're so real and relatable. What I want to know, is how long does it take you to do all this? I look at my mess and just feel so overwhelmed and like its a never ending battle. Kinda like you with the dishes. I feel that one so much, as we live in a much older home without a dishwasher. I feel like all I ever do some days is wash dishes lol!
Same. I live in a small apartment and don’t have a dishwasher either. I’m so tired of washing dishes. I’ve been looking at those small counter top dishwashers lately.
@@srcworm We had one of those countertop dishwashers as a kid( I live in the house I grew up in) and it was garbage. When I inherited the house 12 years ago, a major remodel wasn't in the budget so I bought a portable dishwasher that you roll back and forth to the sink. It was just ok, but really more trouble than it was worth. I too, am soooooo tired of dishes.
I don't have a dishwasher, so these tips are out of my absolute necessity and for my sanity on a daily basis 🙃 ...clear off food (trash, compost bin etc) - don't throw that crap in the sink ever. If you have a disposal then use it right away, don't let the food sit. Rinse off everything, I mean every single thing every single time, don't let any food particles sit on the dishes while they're sitting in the sink. Since you have a dishwasher, rinse them all directly after using them and just put them right in (good kid chore too for when it comes to that).
Unload your dishwasher every morning or whenever it's done a run cycle, that way you have it clear and empty to load up again. Pots and pans I was right away or let soak. Basically the theme is don't let food sit and get stuck! So much easier to just wash an already rinsed dish than have to srcub endlessly, and it honestly doesn't take up as much time as you'd think to just clear it off right after use.
I don’t have a dishwasher either. W three kids idk how to keep up. I’m always in the kitchen I feel like 😰 I already got rid of so many dishes but I need to declutter again
@@lakeiam615 I have 3 kiddos too! I used to be super overwhelmed with it also, but I've found a few things to be really helpful in keeping my head above water as a mom. I have a dish rack that's always next to the sink, it's not the prettiest thing to look at but the function outweighs the look. 😅 I usually do two "loads" per day, typically one after lunch and one after dinner but sometimes I'll do a small one after breakfast too if we've accumulated a lot of dishes. The kids/husband help too, they know to clear food/rinse and keep things generally tidy so I can get things done more efficiently. They also do dishes occasionally, with help bc they're still young and I don't want them to get cut by knives or break things... They will get there tho! Baby steps to gain confident, capable kiddos ☺️ in the meantime, have patience with the tasks of the day.. don't be too hard on yourself or expect perfection, just do a little here and there and find a rhythm that works for you! Clean as you go, put on music you love or listen to a podcast or book, make your space somewhere you enjoy being and it will feel so much nicer and easier.
Teach hubby and children to put dirty dishes in dishwasher.....and children old enough to clear dishwasher, they can just stack what they can't reach on the counter.
After every meal I scrape food off into the garbage, rinse all dishes and then put what I can in the dishwasher. If I'm lazy, I'll rinse them off and stack by the dishwasher and then fill the dishwasher at the end of the day then turn on at night. In the morning I put the dishes away. It makes the kitchen so much cleaner. Nothing is ever left on the table.
I have made it part of my night time routine to do the dishes/load the dishwasher before bed. I feel like a full sink is what makes my whole kitchen look messy. I also like to wipe down the countertops which usually means putting all the stuff on top away. It's so nice to wake up in the morning to a (mostly) clean kitchen!
So I have a rule in my house, especially food.FIFO-first in first out, that way you’re insuring that all of your food is fresh and rotated. Cause I used to have random food I didn’t even know was there when I would clean.
I've kinda recently moved to North America and I miss having a drain on the bathroom floors 😅
You could literally wash your whole bathroom in one go without worrying about a thing.
Definitely involve your boys in the kitchen cleanup! Create a habit of having them put their own dishes in the dishwasher and team up putting the dishes away!
One cup per day - rinse and set out, food scrapped off in trash rinse dish as soon as it goes in sink or scrap food in trash and straight in dishwasher for all the ones able too
Your cleans are always satisfying 👌
Thank you!! :)
Mai, will you do a video on the Target replacement policy? Many of us have never heard of it and are intrigued! Do they just give you a merchandise credit card? Do you have to show a receipt? Wondering all the deets!
Clean as you go, I fill a sink with hot soapy water, have a compost bin handy and a trash can. I do my frig/ freezer and pantry tidy on the weekend. I prep fruits and veggies for the week and try and make a few meals for the week ahead and bake something as well. Then I’m not cooking every evening since I work full time and often have my 6 year old grandson.
Quick tip for cleaning the clips on your toilet seat. Take it to the bath/shower and wash it down with hot water. The water gets into all the little crevices. Just need to wipe it dry then. 👌🏻
My boys got much better “aim” when I taught them how to properly and totally clean a toilet. They proclaimed the task was GROSS but I noticed the toilet was much cleaner the next time I cleaned it! Same thing with toothpaste spit in sink. When I made them clean it, they learned to rinse it after each brushing (most of the time.)
Don’t put down… put away!!! That’s what I tell myself everytime I go to put something in kitchen or anywhere really!!
You do so much and I can see where your past decluttering has helped. Thank you for the cleaning motivation.
My solution for cooking is bulk cooking! A couple of days a week I just take the time to prepare meals that will last us all week in combination with other things (rice, some type of meat, lasagne, soup, chili, vegetables...). This really saves on time :)
I love how honest your messes are, I feel much better about my messes. Your declutters are so so inspiring !
Wait target takes back clothes and gives u free ones? I didn't know this
Yes! They have the best return policy, especially if you use the app and always put in your phone number at checkout.
Hi Mai. I LOVE Kaboom...I ONLY like the foam spray that you use on the toilets. I use it in my bathtub as well. EXCELLENT product...my uncle has been using it for several years. Your house always looks nice. You just make it look stunning, that's the truth of the matter all day long. AWESOME video! TYSM. Happy Belated Mother's Day. You're a great mom. God bless. All the very best.
I clean while cooking, so I don't have to do it later 🤗
Good morning happy Monday morning and I just wanted to say that your vlogs is sooo beautiful I loved your channel and you guys are amazing I'm proud of you
Thanks for the motivation so needed it today. Hey I wanted to share something I did to my bathroom that helped it look and stay cleaned. I noticed you have just a plain mirror in your bathroom not a vanities cabinet with storage. Look into the Kholer medicine cabinet that has a magnifying mirror attached inside with loads of shelves for storage. They have many sizes to fill that wall of your. It is a one time investment of a few hundred dollars but trust me it will keep your countertop clean.
If you empty the dishwasher first thing in the morning then your kids could put their own dishes in the dishwasher. This would save you some time.
While I am cooking or baking, I keep a tub of sudsy water in the sink so I can was the hand wash dishes as as they get dirty and load the others in the dishwasher. That way the dishes never pile up. Also, run the dishwasher every night and empty it first thing in the morning. That way it’s available through the day to collect the dirty dishes.
You probably won't see this but Rachel Aust (Australian fitness/lifestyle vlogger and instructor) has amazing healthy meal prep videos and recipes. Been watching her for years and I love her content.
Ok, with cleaning...
I won't cook unless my husband helps with the clean up. No Ma'am! If he cooks, I do the cleaning.
We have been together for 27 years, and raised 3 children together. It has definitely worked! 💜
My hack is two fold, I RINSE everything as it goes into the sink, takes 3 seconds longer at the time, but minutes less later. Then my later is I load and run my dishwasher every single night! Even if it's not completely full, that's a Dana K. White tip!
Adaline Zook’s channel “Adaline’s Kitchen” is a phenomenal resource for food planning And her additional channels “Adeline’s Home” and Adaline’s Vlogs” are my favorite channels for organization and minimalism. She comes from a Mennonite background and her artistic decor and talented cooking along with her gifted organizational, cost-effectiveness talents are amazing❤️
Mai! I just found you and I am a fan. Your organized chaos is so real! I have learned a lot in one hour!! I HATE emptying the dishwasher 😩But during high kitchen traffic, I keep hit water in the sink and get those dishes wiped and loaded as we go. Without it, my kitchen implodes🥵
Take your cleaningtime as a comfort-time for you. Do it like zen: enjoy the here and now (in room/ place and time). Feal like it is the right place and time. Do it in a way, that you give love, peace and comfort to you and your invirement, by cleaning it now. Cleaning a toilet means, that you have a toilett. I read a book from a Zen-monk (Thich Nhat Hanh) who said he lived in a monastery in Vietnam with 300 monks without a single toilet for half his life. So when they got a toilet, he felt gratitude for this fact and loved cleaning it.
I was just going to ask if you could do a pantry tour or weekly meals video. I noticed you keep less processed food in your pantry and am looking for less processed but quick and easy meals for myself.
Instead of putting dirty dishes in the sink, put them directly in the dishwasher. Also, it may take some time to become routine but Marie Kondo does laundry with the whole family. Dads and kids help fold and put away. Even little kids. As your kids are growing older, it’s a great way to teach them responsibility, a life skill, and have a more equal distribution of housework per person.
Lastly, lol, why not drill the bench into the wall?
A health tip: don't consolidade food. It's best to be carefull not to open a new package of something than mixing "old" food with your new food. That because when we open something bacteria and fungus start to develop( at first they are not dangerous, but it can be in a while because chemical reactions happen and that is what makes food go bad). And guess what, good food comes whit new clean nutrients for those bacteria. When you put new food together with old food you are basically giving bacteria a feast. "Oh but we consolidate food and never had food poisoning" ye but if you have you will NEVER forget.
Wow you cleaned your whole house in 1 day? I can’t even clean my small apartment in one day. And it’s just me and my boyfriend and our cats. No kids. How do you do it so fast? I’m pooped after cleaning just the bathroom.
I’ve honestly seen way grosser/grimier bathrooms from teenagers (former housecleaner) than what your 5 and under boys produced lol, and that’s referencing a specific house I cleaned weekly. Genuinely don’t understand how they were even capable of making it so dirty in such a short amount of time lol
edit: one of the most valuable things you can teach your kids is to rinse the darn sink every time after using it (especially after brushing teeth). Their future significant others will really appreciate it I’m sure 🙃
Jennifer Cook is a good frugal living RUclipsr, if you find her meal planning method, it is monthly. I have found that is so much better. I find it exhausting to think of meals every week, so buying all your meat and freezing it at the start of the month has been good and planning meals out with what you have is great. Also 'the wads' meal ideas is good. There is a lot of content out there though...a good tip I have found along with the meal planning that Jennifer shares is having a recipe book of things you like and using that recipe book to meal plan. Maybe only trying out 1 or 2 new recipes a month and sticking to a lot of regular things you normally eat for the meal plans across the month. Hope this helps. Love your videos ♡♡
To clean up quick I play a game. 🤣 I set my timer for 10 min and go as fast as I can; vacuum (stay with me), trash (includes stuff I know is bad in the fridge that be tossed easy), move all dirty dishes to sink, put away all clutter, spray surfaces, put away any clean dishes, do the dirty ones, wipe counters, clean the sink, vacuum, mop x2
I’ve gotten into the habit of NOT using the sink for storage of dirty dishes .. rinse and put in dishwasher as you use them… my kids were taught and always rinse and put their dish into the dishwasher when they leave the table (age appropriate).. we run dishwasher after dinner and empty in the morning while coffee is brewing.. Same when I’m cooking.. when I’m done with a dish.. rinse and put in dishwasher…less to clean after meals 👍
A couple things I do is run my dishwasher every night before bed, even if it’s only a 1/2 load. It gets unloaded at breakfast and that way I can load as I go (I do run it in the in middle of the day if it’s full). Which leads me into my next tip, clean as you cook. I put away any ingredients as I use them, put dishes in the dishwasher and wash anything that needs to be washed. I have found I’m not in my kitchen for hours upon hours at night.
I don’t mind loading the dishwasher, but i HATE unloading for some reason, so before my husband leaves for work, he unloads in the morning, then i can load the dishwasher throughout the day, and no matter what happens, i run the dishwasher every single night before i go to bed. That way my sink is always pretty clear and i never feel overwhelmed with pile ups!
Clean as you go in the kitchen is the only way to a consistently clean kitchen! I NEVER leave dishes in the sink .
Part of cooking and eating for me is also cleaning up straight way …I never view a meal as over until I have done dishes and wiped counters. I will often wipe down cabinets etc whilst waiting for pasta to boil etc. so I am using my time wisely and also get my cordless vacuum out after dinner to get any crumbs up …it takes a minute if that . It’s all about building new habits and also you are in the thick of it right now with little ones so give yourself a pat on the back because you are getting through the day and fed children are more important than a clean kitchen 😂 it’s all about balance and we are all different .Just do your best ❤️
I just started watching your videos and subscribed. I like them a lot, they are motivating. And you are really relatable. I also like that you clean a messy house. That's real life. I hate channels when they are cleaning a clean house.
I get impatient while I’m cooking waiting for things to cook, so I use my impatience to handwash dishes as I go. It helps my impatience as well as making for a clean kitchen when the meal is done. Also, listening to a spooky podcast that gets me really focused. I like “Monsters Among Us”.
A lot of people will hate, but we use paper plates for all snacks, lunches, and the majority of all breakfast items. I also am a complete weirdo, I can not stand all the cups and mismatch plates so we have 1 set of dishes and 4 extra bowls that are deeper for cereal. I have to wash or run the dishwasher daily. I will never go back to overflowing kitchen cabinets.
When cleaning the kitchen I always play loud music from my playlist. To keep on top of the kitchen, I do the dishes while I’m cooking. That way there isn’t a massive mess when you sit down to eat, and you have half the stuff to add to the dishwasher rather than a lot. Also wipe up any mess from sauces or oil etc as you go along. It’s easier to wipe when still wet rather than wait to clean dried on food.
I do the same, and immediately rinse plates and cups after a meal, even if you are not going to completely wash them it's so helpful to rinse off the food/dump things into the trash and then you can come back to it without scrubbing the stuck on gunk. Having family members help with this is good practice. Husband helps with after dinner clean up when I cook and all the kids know to dump any trash off their plates and leave them by the sink or in the sink for a rinse. it's tough for one person to keep track of the mess made by 5. (family of 5 here too)
@@candacevillegas-giron8560 family of 5 here too. My husband & I have an arrangement where whoever cooks, the other does the dishes. And I also telly everyone to scrape leftovers into the bin then put plates by the sink.
I know your kids are young but you could have them help in the kitchen. It won't won't perfect but it might save some time. Also, clean up the dishes after each meal. Or make it a habit to put the dishes in the dishwasher after using them!
My number one cleaning hack is clean as I go
If I am cooking I clean up anything I used if I am done with it
For example if I make a side salad,. I make sure all the unused ingredients are put away. And I wash any knives or cutting utensils I used to cut up salad items, as I am letting water boil for other menu items
I put any dishes or pots and pans into the dishwasher that I have finished using,. And I do this clean up while other parts of the meal are cooking
So when a meal is ready to eat, the bulk of the "washing up" is under control or even done.
Then after dinner, it's usually dishes and utensils that need doing
I hate cleaning the bathroom more than anything else. So I try to minimize the amount of cleaning in there. Two tips I will share. 1. I keep a washcloth on the cabinet door so that I can wipe down any water drops or spills asap. 2. I store all my make up in a beauty box that I store in the cabinet under my sink. My skin care is also under my sink in a roll out drawer. I pull out the make up box and what ever skincare I use and put it back asap. It helps keep the bathroom looking clean longer and reduces visual decluttered. The only things on my counter are the soap, ring tray and electric toothbrushes. Hope that helps!
It's too bad they don't make a product you could put on the bottom of the legs of your table ...that provides that non-slip element, without having the rug.
If you want to spend less time cleaning, get a roborock that vacuums and washes floors. Worth every penny!
Yup, these people before me called it...dishes go directly to the dishwasher from the table. :) Hot soapy water in the sink as you cook.
O.H.I.O. - Only Handle It Once
Try to rinse dishes and load them into the washer asap. I make sure the dishwasher is running when I go to bed and the sink is clean. While I wait for the coffee to brew in the morning, I empty the dishwasher so I can fill it with breakfast dishes to get the day going. It helps to stay ahead of the dishes.
Watch The Wads for meal prep videos, she has loads of them for a big family with all kinds of food intolerances plus she's super funny.
I also thank God for the washing machine, for the roomba and for the vacuum cleaner 🙏
in the kitchen we keep one frying pan and four pots of various sizes. No more. So the used ones have to be washed between each meal. We load the dishwasher with everything else and run it as soon as it is full, and empty it before we start another meal prep, so the used dishes from that meal can go directly into the dishwasher - no pit stop in the sink. I also know how to pour pasta or veggie water from the pot with a lid without having to use a strainer, because I hate washing the strainer. Also my partner is perfectly capable and willing to do dishes, so my work load is like half of yours. Possibly less.
I soak heavily grubby pots, I put virtually everything in dw, and not above paper plates!
I couldn't stand to not have stuff folded. It is easier to find so you don't have to dig and looks better. But personal preference. Just you are the only person I have ever seen not do it. Lol but I still enjoy your videos! Thanks for the makeup list too!
I've butterfly watching this lmao so satisfying!
I’m not sure if you have this issue. But having kids use 1 cup a day is helpful. We loved to use water bottles that we refilled. Our dishwasher was so full of cups that we needed to fix that.
I wouldn't be able to sleep with unfolded clothes in those bins...lol. I'm glad it works for you.
great job! agree with many of the above. my trick is to wash as I go including washing a pan/bowl/utensil I just used and then reuse it for the next cooking step rather than putting it in to wash and grabbing a second one
When I'm feeling overwhelmed by chores I wash the dishes while I cook or after we eat... ill clean up after my self an before you know it there's little to nothing to clean ..u can go strite to cooking dinner or what ever with out having to worry about dishes from the meal before
If you can't get them replaced for some reason, you could cut those damaged pants into shorts if they still fit your boys. Even if they're not town worthy they can wear them to play in. Also to save time on cleaning wipe your counters down first and then you only have to vacuum once.
So my sink is hardly ever gross, I never put any dirty dishes in the sink. I put them on the counter above the dish washer. If it will be hand washed I set it on the counter next to the sink. I hate clutter on the counters, so i know I’ll load the dirty ones in the dishwasher asap and hand wash the others asap. Plus I rinse the sink every time i get any food/liquids splattered in it.
Hi Mai, great video as always, but please next time you use the drill tie your hair, dont use it while your hair is loose because... well you can look up fail videos on yt.
I don't own a dishwasher and never have even when my son lived at home, I hate a sink full of dishes so I put dirty dishes on a tray next to the sink, then wash then onto the drying rack I put the dry dishes away at night or first thing in the morning, and I don't have a lot of things on the counter top either and today I've had an hour decluttering around my apartment and two lots of washing done and hung on the line to dry as I don't own a dryer either 😸, just get rid of what you don't use it want, love your videos Xx Manchester. 🌹 UK
Empty the dish washer before you cook. Then put whatever you’re done with in the dishwasher. That way after the meal you just put the dishes you ate off of and and any pots and pans that are dishwasher friendly in. That’s how it goes for me on a good day.
Start to get your boys to do small tasks access a cupboard for bowls ect this is training them for when there older you can’t just spring it on them 🤭
I have everyone trash their uneaten food or bones and rinse their plates and stick them I'm the sink. But u can go a step further and have them place it in the dishwasher and just empty it every morning
I run a hot soapy sink of water every time I start cooking!
Then atleast the dishes make it into the sink and not pile on the counter.
( also I have no dishwasher so the sink needs to be run 1-2 times daily )
Stop rinsing the dishes! They don’t need it, unless it’s oatmeal or pancake mix.
Our dishwasher broke over a year ago and my husband refuses to buy another one. I absolutely hate doing dishes. I try to do the dishes before they pile up.
To keep my kitchen clean I always wash all the things I used after I cooked/ and after my kids eats so it will not filled up the dishes.
Just get furniture grippies for under the table. You can buy gripping mats at the dollar store and just cut them up and stick them under the table legs.
Why did I never think of cleaning my huge bathroom mirror like this?
I don’t use kaboom because it smells too strong for me but I thought the reason it’s purple is that you have to leave it set until it turns white before you start cleaning it, no?
Clean the kitchen as you cook. Start with an empty dishwasher as well.
I always have a sink of hot soapy water when I cook. As I dirty a dish or a pan while cooking I wash it up and stick in a drainer. That takes care of a lot of the dishes.
I run the dishwasher every night so that when I am making breakfast I can unload it and try to load it throughout the day instead of letting them stay in the sink.
For the dishes I stopped using the dishwasher and I wash them as I cook and after we eat as soon as possible so the stuff doesn’t get stuck on the dishes and I’m done with it all
One huge thing thats helped me keep the kitchen clean is while im cooking instead of putting things in the sink to deal with later, immediately put things straight into the dishwasher as i dirty them so i dont have a sink full when im done cooking to deal withh
Only thing i have to say for filling up your pantry. Put your oldest in front (like in stores) so you pass it first.
I bought a shark vac mop last year because little kids do not eat with out a mess and it has saved me a ton it vaccuums and spot mops amazing
I always clean as I go. If I a cooking I am washing dishes so that when I am done cooking I don’t have any dishes only the one that we eat off of.
Talk to husband or older children and trade jobs with them for jobs you would rather do
Where are your toilet seats from?? I need them in my life ASAP!!!
Apples also omit a gas/hormone which causes other fruit to ripen faster.
Never leave a dish in sink at night and always clean as you go....
Happy belated Mother’s Day 💐!
