My favourite (underrated) cleaning hack is cleaning/organising my room before I travel. Coming back to that welcoming space is bliss.
I always do that as well! Such a good feeling coming back to a clean house 🤩
Wao
I love that! 🥰 hopefully when we can travel again, I'll use this cleaning tip :) thanks for sharing
So true 🥰
I agree with this. I love coming home to a clean house when I get back from traveling. ❤
In a nutshell -
1) 20 minute daily cleaning - morning and night 10 mins each
2) Scheduling deep clean on weekly/monthly basis
3) Clean the fridge everytime you do grocery shopping
4) Clean as you cook
5) Fold the Konmari way (its a specific folding method precribed by famous japanese author Marie Kondo)
6) Make a home for every item!
7) Create a declutter bag
8) Scan important items
Hey! But pls do watch the whole video. ❤️ It's a treat for the soul, like always. So aesthetically and spiritually pleasing if that makes sense?
Amazing work like always, Sophie! ❤️
Thank you so much for this Sonika :) I appreciate it so much.
No I'm not gonna watch it
Thank you!!!
I used to make my bed as soon as I woke up as well, but then i learned that, actually, it is very important to let your bed "breathe" every single morning at least 30 minutes after you wake up: in this way, your bedsheets will have time to 'breathe' and let go of all the trapped air from the night before. I felt like giving you this advice since i find it very helpful for my personal higene.
Emma Giordano you are 100% correct!
I agree
Oh I had no idea! thank you for sharing Emma. Maybe I can let it wait until the afternoon 🥰
Yes you are correct. I didn’t read comments before posting, but do the same. Read before posting 🤦🏽♀️
Absolutely correct, Emma! I also got to know about it recently. I make my bed after I am done with filling my gratitude journal, brushing my teeth, chatting with my husband, playing with my dog. If I am not doing anything and I look at an un-made bed, it makes me uncomfortable 🤷 So I do it just after I am done with all morning chores!
10 minutes in the morning, 10 minutes in the evening. I started today with that cleaning habbit. Thank you! 🙏
I'm so happy to hear that! 10 minute morning and evening works really well for me 🙂 hope it helps you too
Such a great tip isn’t it? I’m incorporating it as well. Particularly helpful with a small baby, when I feel there’s no way to spare large stretches of time :)
You never failed to inspire me
Lots of love from philippines😍🥰
I will definitely do this ..tips 😁
Sophie your channel is so full of peace! I found minimalism late in 2020 and my hubs & I purged 20 years of married collection from our home. I live in the cold midwest so these videos are full of warmth and inspiration. Thanks!
Oh wow that's amazing ! So cool you guys decided to do it together. I'm glad I can share some warmth through my videos 🌞 thanks for watching
I think since I pursued minimal lifestyle, cleaning and organizing a home, I noticed I have greater peace in my mind, fewer distractions and my focus is much higher.
I agree with you completely. It is such a nice feeling to carry with me all throughout the day :) Thank you for watching.
Psalms1:1-3
I am huge on cleaning as I cook, I never want to clean after I eat! Great tips here Sophie
Yes! It really saves me time 😊 I wish I did it sooner. Thank you for watching ❤
@@MalamaLife mo
Daily cleaning is so powerful! It even calms you down mentally :)
Yes! has huge mental benefit for me too 🥰
I live in Sri Lanka. Our country lacks knowledge and inclination in this regard. I would love to simply live the way you have so far. But I do not get any support from my wife for this. But I am committed to it to the best of my ability. It's nice to see the experience of people like you. Thank you so much
It's so crazy how small changes leave big impacts. I started making my bed every morning and it really uplifts my mood for the entire day.
I agree with you! those little actions really add up 🥰 thanks for watching!
Sophie, you truly are a gem. Didn't realize it, but I've been doing 5 of the things you mentioned for years lol. (Great minds think alike). The other three were super great tips. For cleaning, I never leave dishes lying around, all goes to the kitchen, (even if I, on rare occasions don't do the dishes). I'm not a busy body when people visit, but at the end of the evening,, it's nothing to cart dirty mugs to the kitchen sink! The idea of waking up to dirty cups in the living room etc creeps me out. Blessings
I closed my eyes, listening to you brings me to calm..
🥰 thanks tony
This is one of the best videos I've seen on this subject. I can actually envision doing these things and can see how effective they'd be. Thank you. Simple is relaxing and relaxing is key to good health and a positive state of mind. I'm looking forward to finally tackling the area of my life concerning belongings and organization. I love your channel. Thank you.
Thank you so much ❤️
"If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way." - small things become great things.
"Either you run the day or the day runs you." - it is both. Sometimes, you will find the moment when 'this' time is manageable, and often, you will find the moment catching you..
Your decluttering videos motivate me a lot, so I also really appreciate these cleaning tips! The declutter box is a very nice idea that I'm going to try out. Thanks ❤️
Thank you Patricia 😊 the basket makes things so much easier for me to declutter! Also gives me time to think about the items if I really want to get rid of it 💕
I started to watch your channel when you had about 7,000 subscribers. It's so cool to see that your channel is growing so fast. It's so peaceful and helpful, amazing that more and more people appreciate that 🥰
Thank you for supporting me from 7K!! that is so cool :) and I am extremely grateful for this community. I feel like I have the best people watching these videos..
I absolutely love watching your videos in the morning when I’m getting ready for work. They are so peaceful and inspiring for the start of the day. ☺️
:) aw thanks Diana
Your voice is so velvety, soothing and warm.
I love listening to you. 🌷🌷♥️
Thank you so much 🥰❤ so sweet of you
Absolutely. I agree I could listen all the day long everyday. 🙏❤🙏
I’ve been loving your videos Sophie!! They are so calm, peaceful, and helpful in this day and age. Please keep up with the good quality. I really miss Maui and I wish I could go back soon, what a paradise on earth
I am so happy I can share Maui scenery through my videos. I appreciate you watching my videos :) Thank you so much
Your system is most affective and always works with myself. Caring for your home environment is an important fact of the way we live. Thank you for sharing another brilliant video ❤ sending blessings 🙌🙏❤
Thank you for all the great tips! I loved the video!
Over 2 months ago since you posted this video, I know. As all your minimalism videos, I LOVE it. We carry so much weight on our shoulders! Make time to fly light, lol.
"We all deserve to live in a clean and welcoming environment." Great video! I love practicing minimalism. My landlord just told us he's selling our house, so we have to move. Minimalism makes the moving process much easier, too. Looking forward to continuing minimalist practices in my new home
So true! I'm sure it's so much less work to move with only your essentials. Also a good time to declutter :) thanks for watching
Calm & Peaceful
I really enjoyed this video Sophie, and found it so relaxing 😌 Thanks for reminding me about the little things that I've either got out of the habit doing or need to start doing to make life easier, less stressful and more peaceful ❤
Thank you so much. I'm so glad it was relaxing!
Thank you so much. I feel so calm to watch your video
I have watched all your vids, and I resonate with your simple lifestyle with mental and physical well-being, and just loving ourselves first and taking care of ! I love to cook and bake, and clean as I cook most of the time, well, a, pretty well-organized.
“Decluttering is ongoing process”
Thanks so much for make me realise that
😊 it truly is! I am getting much better with each session. Thanks for watching
✨
Watching your videos make me feel so calm ❤️ There’s just something about it i lovee
I am so happy to hear that 🥰 I hope this one too brought a moment of calm into your sunday!
That moment when I started decluttering again while watching or listening to this video...and it was like almost all of your videos were played.❤️
Thank you Sophie!🙂
Haha i am happy to hear that! Thank you Estrela ❤ I continue to declutter as well
I feel like baking banana muffins as you unpack your produce 😂
Home is the most important space in our lives. Clean and beautiful house make happy.yes these tips are valuable sophie ❤️❤️
You said it perfectly 🥰 it is our sanctuary! thank you for watching
So glad I found your RUclips channel! It’s so calming and educational at the same time! Thank you! ☺️
Thank you so much 🙂 so happy to hear that.
Thank you for another beautiful video Sophie 🙏
I've adopted the cleaning principle of '5 minutes matters'.
So, similarly to you, I try to clean up as much mess as I can while waiting for my dinner to cook.
The '5 minutes matters' rule can easily turn into longer, however as I've only committed to 5 minutes it doesn't feel overwhelming to start with.
Once again, a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS ON REACHING 50,000 SUBSCRIBERS THIS WEEK 🎉🎉🎉
I'm positive you'll be reaching 100,000 in no time.
Blessings from Queensland, Australia 🦘🇦🇺🐨
I love the 5 minute matters rule! Most times, that's all it takes to put things away and clean up :) also 5 minutes isn't so intimidating so its a good starting point ❤ thank you for all your support and kind comments Amanda! I appreciate you so much
GREAT video!!
While I make our bed every morning, I open the window (even in winter) and pull the top sheet and blanket back and allow the room and bed to air out as I take a quick shower. This removes any odors from sweat as we slept. Then I make the bed.
As minimalists we are also zero waste so we avoid buying packaged foods as much as possible. And we do NOT buy soda and other 'food' items that lack nutrition and value because it's a waste of $$$.
And yes, we take care of what we have so we don't need to replace items. We also avoid fads and adhere to the 'a place for everything and everything in it's place'. Which saves a LOT of $$$$ because one isn't buying things they already have.
Cleaning as we cook is so important. We also do the dishes as soon as we are done eating. Something Bea (Bay ya) Johnson of the Zero Waste Home also stresses.
Thank you so much for sharing! living a zero waste lifestyle is something that I am quite interested in. So much of everything is packaged and it's so so wasteful. I love all your ideas 🥰 thanks for watching Beth
You are so chilled. Some nice ideas there. Thank you.
Well done Sophie!!!
I love the idea of spending 20 minutes daily cleaning while your energy levels are high.
Today I tackled the bathroom drawers and found long “lost” items. Now I’m motivated to do the cabinets too.
Here’s two things that helped us reduce clutter and keep track of receipts:
I labeled 13 pockets in an accordion file. The first pocket I labelled “current” . The second pocket is labelled January... the third February, and so on through December.
Whenever we come back from shopping, we place the receipts in the “ current” folder. When a statement comes in the mail, I check the receipts against the statement. At the end of the month I place the receipts into the appropriate month along with any statements for Mastercard, Visa, or Discover. We save all of the receipts and statements for one year, in case we need to return or follow up on a warranty . When the receipts and statements become one year old they are shredded. However, major purchase receipts, like appliances, are kept throughout the life of the appliance, in case we need warranty work done.
This has really helped keep our bill paying organized!
The other thing that has helped us is that I have a large envelope labeled for each year.
Any pieces of paper that we think we will need for filing our taxes, are placed in the envelope.
When we’re ready to file, everything that we need should be in the envelope!
I always love reading how you and Gayle do things in your home 🥰 Sounds like such a great system and way to organize everything. I will definitely borrow some of your tips! Thank you so much Mark!
@@MalamaLife thanks Sophie! I know it’s a little dated because we’re going more and more away from paper receipts, but we seem to still collect quite a few.
It’s better than putting everything into my sock drawer! 😅
My husband began doing this about 7 yrs ago. It really makes life easier
I like every possible idea of slow living. The practice helps to keep my mind calm and possitive towards life. Love the way u appriciate ur life❤.
Really love this❤️
I like to let our bed air out for at least 30mins before making it. I open windows if I can or at least turn the fan on high, and pull all the bedding back. After tea and before getting ready I can then make the bed. We release a lot of moisture while we sleep so this allows the mattress and bedding some time to release that moisture. It also helps to dry out dust mites.
I heard this from another comment! I had no idea but definitely an important step because we sweat a lot during our sleep 😂 thank you for sharing Sarah ❤
@@MalamaLife yes we sweat and detox at night. A lot of people don’t realize how much. 🙃
Love your channel!
You’re an inspiration Sophie 💕 Love you for all that you are and all that you do 🌺
Thank you so much Elan 🥰
I really like your channel's vibe and tone - it's very refreshing and inspirational!
Great work :)
Thank you so much 🥰 I appreciate you watching
I love the Marie Kondo Drawer approach so much! It’s so efficient and it’s so satisfying to look at 😃
Yes!! so satisfying 🥰 I love having an organized closet/drawer. makes everything so much easier
Absolutely loved these tips ❤️ Am in the process of decluttering of my home and all these cleaning habits will really help me ☺️
Yes I hope so! these cleaning tips really help after we have decluttered our homes :) happy Sunday!
Love👏🏼this! 🙌🏽 Feeling motivated to finish up some overdue home organization projects!
Yay! Happy to hear that :) I'll also be cleaning and organizing today haha
I too have started to clean the fridge everytime I grocery shop. I need to do better with the declutter of my bag. I find the schedule clean up of good help in having a clean environment.
That's so great :)isn't it really helpful? Thanks for watching Shackeria
I really could have done with meeting someone like you decades ago and learning how to live properly
Me too!
Perfect for this long weekend! Definitely using this later today 💗
Thank you so much Nicole! enjoy your long weekend 🥰
Sophie, another great video and happy Sunday!
Happy Sunday Nicole! thanks for watching :)

Hi Sofi! I am watching your videos for a couple of weeks. This is so calming to hear your voice. Thank you and take care.
I appreciate that so much 😍 thank you for supporting my channel. Really appreciate it ❤ take care as well
@@MalamaLife I never saw a green lizard before with red dots on it :D it is so beautiful (on an earlier video) :)
Doing a small task can make things less overwhelming. I'm still working on letting go as I embrace the less is more lifestyle.
Yes! It reallt makes a difference
I love your way of life. It is how I love to live myself. Just trying to get my home this way now.
😊❤ thank you so much
Another good reminder about this lifestyle God bless😊
Thanks Gerlad 😊💕 happy Sunday

Thank you for watching! 💕😊
You have a really soothing voice ❤️🙏
Thank you 💕
Your videos are so calming and so beautifully and aesthetically made! Thank you for sharing with us all of this advice! Also, good choice on choosing FAGE brand for your yogurt. One of the best original greek brands and I confirm that, for I'm greek. Kisses from Athens!
Sending love to Athens :) Thank you
حبيتك جدااا ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you Marian 🥰
I love minimalist it gives me peaceful and in order to have few stuffs inside my house...
I agree! The fewer the stuff, the easier it is to clean :)
Love this... the one thing we haven’t tried is the upright folding method. We have only a few things that aren’t hung in our closet, but we are definitely gonna try this 😊🖤
I know that it's not for everyone, but maybe it'll be helpful for you! definitely try it :)
Hi Sophie. I tell family members that everything should have its own place...great tip btw🥰🥰
I love that you have a system for your family members :) I hope it works and your home is nice and tidy
New subscriber! I'm totally in love with your videos! They give calm and motivation 😌
Thank you so much Alejandra 🥰 thank you for your support!
I started taking photos of my important stuff also! Especially recipes & paperwork! So much easier to find on your phone ☺️☺️☺️
Yes I love that i can type it and find it right away 😍 so efficient. Happy Sunday 💕
Hi, my name is Ana, and I live in Brazil, I started to accompany you these days and spent two days translating this video. I paid all her advice and loved it. Keep posting, I will continue to follow you. A big kiss Malama❤️
Thank you so much Ana! That is so sweet of you. I appreciate you watching my videos. Hopefully I can have Portuguese subtitles soon 😍
Another great and helpful video. Thank you. Some of these I already do, but cleaning the refrigerator before putting away groceries is a new idea. I'm going to start this week. :-) I love the KonMari method so much. I tend to practice that more than minimalism. It truly did change my life.
Thank you Susan 🥰 I used to dread cleaning out the fridge, but now it's just part of a routine. I hope it helps you too! I love her folding techniques so much. It makes it so much easier to see everything.
Hi Sophie. I've started going through paper documents received in the mail and requesting digital statements for banking, retirement, health care, insurance, etc. This has really helped reduce paper clutter! I also made shortcuts in my browser to the necessary websites so I can get information immediately, instead of digging through stacks of paper.
Oh I love that you made shortcuts on your browser. I am sure it saves you time and effort to access those websites. I felt really anxious about the all the paper clutter, so this is a good system :) thanks Sean!
Just keep crucial originals for post disaster / grid down emergencies.
Soothing as always 🥰
Aw thank you so much 😊💕
Thank you for your lovely advice and video
Thank you so much ❤😊
Thanks for the tips.. You voice is sooo soothing
Aw thank you very much 🥰💕
There is some great advice here for someone who might be struggling in their life, to help simplify and streamline. Sophie has a very calm and at peace tone in her voice.
🥰 thank you
Such useful tips! I especially like the idea of putting everything in a designated place. I’m terrible for allowing things to pile up on countertops 🙈
I used to put everything in junk drawers, but now I tell myself to make the extra effort to put it away 😁I hope you try it and hope it works for you too!
I always clean while cooking haha so that I can eat straight away without having to stop to clean dishes first 😂👍 but the cleaning fridge after grocery shopping is such a good idea! Gonna try that
Dishes is my least favorite chore, but ever since doing this, it's been a breeze 😁💕 loving it! Thanks for watching!
Another thing I like to do, similar to the cooking routine, is clean up on little thing while in the area. Like I'm I'm in the bathroom, wipe down the counter with an antibacterial cloth. Then the next time, do the toilet. After a shower, spray and wipe down the shower. It's really a great way to clean things up.
yes!! I love efficiency
peaceful & inpsiring info. thank you
Thank you for watching 🥰
I just woke up to your channel and so happy there is a new upload 😍 Thank you for making my day ✨💗
Aww thank you Stephanie 🥰 you are so sweet! I hope you enjoyed it
@@MalamaLife I always do! Your videos inspire me ✨💗
Waiting for your videos..... listening your voice makes my mind soothing and relaxing. I love your way of explaining things. Love from INDIA 💝
Thank you :) makes me so happy to hear that!
Valuable information - which is really required in the modern days. I think in our era of living , except breathing the rest people missed to follow . According to our own tradition and culture there are lots of examples laid by our own ancestors and family in terms of organising things and how to live but we forgot to follow or we least give importance by saying we are modern.
I’m glad that You are bringing it back like gentle reminder 👍👍👍
Great work keep doing
Thank you so much 🥰 I am glad these videos can be a gentle reminder, to myself and to others! thank you for watching.
I am also inculcating minimalisim into my life. so helpful to watch your videos. alsoo house tour awaitedd.
Thank you so much 😍 I am so happy to hear that! Many more videos to come :)
Just found you on my feed. Great video and well presented. Thank you.
Thank you so much for watching :)
so glad i found your channel x
Thank you so much 🥰 I appreciate your support! so many more videos to share :)
Love the idea of a daily cleaning ritual 💓
I hope you try it 😊 it makes things so much easier for me
@@MalamaLife Will do. Not just on the weekends as I normally do , but week days too 😀
please make a video for super busy people, how should they manage their little time?
(4 hours a day spare time, when they have to eat, shower and prepare for another working day). this would be highly appreciated. thank you! keep up the good work and the beautiful relaxing videos.
Loving all of these beautiful tips Sophie 💖 Thank you. I would love to see a video with your favorite clothing brands. I’m trying to find more stores that are organic and sustainable (one thing that I find difficult is that these clothing stores can be expensive for me) if you have any stores that you recommend I’d love to see it 🙏🏼
I am planning a video on this for the future 🥰❤ stay tuned! Thanks for watching
My room is definitely needing this.
I just spent the whole Sunday cleaning 🥰 it feels good
I love this 🥰🥰
Claire!!! 🥰 thank you. So glad you liked it
Feeling motivated to do some cleaning n decluttering
Yes!! happy to hear that :)
Getting a high quality air purifier helps remove and prevent dust. Also breathing in clean air (pollution and bacteria/viruses) is healthier. I have a robot vacuum, so it’s very easy to keep the floor clean. I also want to get a robot mop.
Gotta love that food asmr
Wow! That is something I’ve been doing for years, making my bed. One tiny difference, I have to run to the bathroom first. I also remove the comforter to shake it off, clean my bed, sanitize it. Takes less than 5 minutes.
Hello! just found your channel recently and can't stop watching. Thank you for all your help! 😍
