I’ve been doing the same thing - running the dishwasher at the end of the night and emptying it in the morning while my son eats breakfast. It gives me a kickstart feeling of accomplishing a task first thing in the morning, and I use that time to chit chat with my toddler while putting things away! An added bonus is that I can see what gets used each day, making any future decluttering easier down the line because I have a better handle on what we actually use and what never seems to be in the wash at night!
I am not joking. I was literally just saying to my husband, "I need to channel my inner Carissa" and he said, "What does that even mean?" I originally meant that I needed to throw some shoes on and dig deep so I could get my house put back together today AND THEN YOU DROPPED THIS VIDEO. Now my husband thinks I summoned you. 💟💟
You and “This crazy life” are my two favorite channels when it comes to cleaning! I’m obsessed With my scrub daddy thanks to you, lol Hope you have a wonderful Christmas!
I just found you this morning, I love your updates, you got a lot done is such a short time. Since you did ask for tips…..I started to empty my dishwasher - before - I go to bed so it’s empty to start a new day - game changer. Then through the day I clean as I go, I put each item into the dishwasher as they are used during food prep and cooking meals. While I am cooking I wash pots/pans, dry and put them away as soon as they are done being used so a good portion of the mess is cleaned before I sit down for dinner. Nothing goes into the sink to wait for "later" except for the after dinner snack dishes and cups while the dishwasher is running after dinner. I also clean as I am cooking, the seasoning and food packages, etc get put away right after use. It keeps the counters clear and the sink empty and actually feels like less work, it is not piling up. The kitchen is my big priority I don’t leave the kitchen in a messy state, I clean/straighten it, wipe counters and stove before I leave the room. It took a little while to keep the routine but I do strive to make it happen every day. You may even have to run dishwasher twice a day. For the after lunch load run and empty it asap so it is not backed up to dinner. My step mom told me these tips and I thought she was a cleaning fanatic but as I worked on it (over years) these things really did help to streamline cleaning and the time it took to clean up after a meal. As for dusting and vacuuming that is another story but if the room looks "tidy" then I am good, fake it til you make it, hey my kitchen is clean, lol. You’ll figure out what works best in your house. Cleaning, straightening and tidying throughout the day is easier than letting everything go to have a big overwhelming job. I see many You Tubers let everything go so they have an “extreme” clean with me. For filming purposes they do not pick up or put away anything, crumbs all over, dirty counters and table, food items and plates stacked up etc. I think in real life our letting things go only works against ourselves. Because I am pretty lazy I have found that the least mess is really the least effort to clean. When my kids were little as they got up in the AM I would do a quick tidy and straighten upstairs, open curtains, make beds, dirty laundry to a basket and when we got downstairs I put a gate at the stairs so no messes going on without my knowledge. It just felt so good that one part of the house stayed clean. Bedtime was a quick 2 minute tidy (clear floors to avoid tripping and injury. Who has time for that chaos?)
Jessi Christine has a good routine for her son’s bottles. I used to just boil the nipples and caps and put the bottles into the dishwasher (old school, my youngest of 4 is 26). Jessi also uses a Bissel CrossWave on her hardwood floors which could save you time and energy.
That Rubbermaid scrubber looks excellent. I went on amazon and they have a kit on there with like 6 different heads that I might grab. Thanks for the tip! I am due with my first in February as well, so I feel you!
wow! a new super clean video waiting for your video,I just can explain how much you helps me to clean and be motivated, I always plays your cleaning video while I clean ,you are such a great motivator,love you carissa
I love your videos and you always inspire me to get up and clean something! A handy tip about your philodendron - if you trim the long, leggy parts your plant will stay healthier and send out new growth from the base.
Family of 7 with no dishwasher but me 😂 but it actually doesn't bother me much. I do two big sink fulls every day - one after lunch, one after dinner. The kids and my husband and I all have water bottles so I don't typically have glass wear to wash, the kids have a pretty good routine of rinsing dishes after each use so at least when I go to wash them they're not caked with food. We make it work!
Can you link your living room rug? It's so beautiful! I love the bunkbed for the girls, especially with that slide. That's going to be so fun for them!
I need to deep clean my room to install a nursery inside. I clicked on this video not knowing you were also in your third trimester, it motivates me even more!
I live in a house with 5 people and a dog, we just barely have enough room and I am (trying to) clean the whole house before Christmas. These videos make me feel like I can do it
Great video. Just wanted to let you know that the media goes offline around 24 minutes for about 10 seconds. I also work in Premiere and I hate when this happens.
I got a question on your other vacuums. The hoover one how well does it work? I have a hoover blade but it stopped working on me not to long ago. I now am looking for a new one that might be better.
Hi Carissa, I used my dishwasher as you do. We are also a family of five although all my three boys have moved out now. Anyone over the age of 6 was expected to put their dishes straight in to the dishwasher and not leave them on the counters. They were also on a rota (from age 10) to empty it and put away the clean dishes. I think its so important to empty it promptly, at my house I hated to see loads of dirty dishes in the sink all day or out on the counters.
So motivating! We just bought a new (to us) house with similar issues that we are working on fixing up, your home reminds me of ours! We tend to clean the kitchen at night and run the dishwasher so we have clean dishes in the morning.
Wow your home is really looking so amazing! So inspiring. That doll house in the living room caught my eye and I was wondering if you could link it here?! Thank you 😊🙏🏻
I mop once a week with my o cedar spin mop that separates the dirty and clean water. Then I spot mop throughout the week with the Clorox floor wipes and my swiffer
I recently just got a shark steamer, I think it’s so much better than the regular old mop and bucket! No more dipping the mop into that dirty used water and spreading it back over your floors, just thought I’d pass that on 😊
Bottles I wash instantly except for when they get older & only do bottles a few times a day. Easy to rinse items like glasses of drinks I rinse & put back so we don’t run out of dishwasher space at the end of the day. It would be full of drink glasses & snack bowls by noon otherwise I swear 😅 otherwise Monday is my kitchen day. I deep clean one space a day & just maintenance clean otherwise throughout the week.
I love the color on the wall next to the door you cleaned. Do you maybe have a ncs-code for that? I live in sweden so unfortunately I can't go after a brand name. Thank you so much for all the inspiration.
Can you tell me how you clean that trash can?! I kept spraying the hinges when I would clean it and apparently it was dripping to the battery area.. and stopped working 🙄 ugh. I want the same one again but I hate it never feeling clean.
Hello, I mop once a week but during the muddy rainy season I'm mopping endlessly. I love your cozy home. I have a small home. Wish it was bigger. Merry Christmas.
It has been fantastic so far! Perfect height. I can still reach everything from the ground. I also love the stairs because I trust our littles more with them than a ladder
Love your videos. I get jealous watching your little one stay in place though. My 9 month old is crawling everywhere and I can't get any cleaning done since I'm always chasing her 😂
Happy Wednesday. Let's finish this year out strong with a big clean!! Cleaning along or snacking along?
Laying in bed 😂 I’m too pregnant 😴
Pre-gaming. 🤣 Lots to do around here!
Both!
Painting my nails
I’m doing the wall washing kind of clean for Christmas

Love that! Exactly what I do with the girls! It has been working really well because we usually get so behind on dishes.
I ask my husband to empty the dishwasher in the morning so i can stuff it through out the day.
I run my dishwasher every day after lunch and again after dinner. Family of 4. It's full both times, every day
I am not joking. I was literally just saying to my husband, "I need to channel my inner Carissa" and he said, "What does that even mean?" I originally meant that I needed to throw some shoes on and dig deep so I could get my house put back together today AND THEN YOU DROPPED THIS VIDEO. Now my husband thinks I summoned you.
💟💟
Hahahaha I got your call and I'm here!
You summoned all of us!! Haha I also do enjoy cleaning though 😅 (just found this channel) ❤
House work is never ending, but so satisfying to see it clean!! Love your videos!
You and “This crazy life” are my two favorite channels when it comes to cleaning! I’m obsessed With my scrub daddy thanks to you, lol
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas!
Can’t wait for that loft video to see more about the toy organization! That before/after of the storage shelves was 🤯
I just found you this morning, I love your updates, you got a lot done is such a short time.

I started with just hand washing the dishes while watching your video and I ended up scrubbing down the entire kitchen. Thank you !!
Just watched this for the bunk bed makeover - don't know how I missed it. Cheers Buckaroo x
I actually like the black picture frames and their images too. Looks amaze!!!
That Rubbermaid scrubber looks excellent. I went on amazon and they have a kit on there with like 6 different heads that I might grab. Thanks for the tip! I am due with my first in February as well, so I feel you!
I am new to you channel. I was watching Loving Life as Megan and she recommended your videos. I am glad I tuned in.
wow! a new super clean video waiting for your video,I just can explain how much you helps me to clean and be motivated, I always plays your cleaning video while I clean ,you are such a great motivator,love you carissa
The house looks beautiful sweetie!! Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎄
Magic eraser with a wash cloth is my go-to for cleaning doors / door jams.
Been missing you, Thank you for another great video. Best wishes for the New Year!
Great video! Love your new table and the bunk beds. Merry Christmas 🎅.
Aww that zipper bedding for your kids is soooo adorable and such a cool idea
The way she holds her belly while she’s vacuuming the living room is so sweet!☺️❤️
Perfect timing! I need to clean the house before Saturday!
This is exactly what I needed this morning! Yay!
I love your videos and you always inspire me to get up and clean something! A handy tip about your philodendron - if you trim the long, leggy parts your plant will stay healthier and send out new growth from the base.
Love your videos. Merry Christmas!
Your house is literal goals , so beautiful and cozy and nice !
Love these cleaning videos! Where are those two black chairs from in the room with shelves with the clear doors !? Ty!

Why did I start baking cookies before watching this?? 👀 definitely a sign 🍪 haha

Cleaning doors is important 👌🏾 Mr clean eraser works good too.
Yay I’m early! Love your content!
Oh my goodness, I love that coffee table! Where did you find it
What fabric is the couch that it has zero pilling?? Looks great!
Can you link your living room rug? It's so beautiful! I love the bunkbed for the girls, especially with that slide. That's going to be so fun for them!

Hi Carissa! Motivated!! Thank you….
Watching from Michigan 🦌🎄
Your house is so beautiful, I’m in love!
New subbie here. Do you have a blog or video on how to make the snowflakes? I like to try that with my 6 year old daughter
House looks amazing..love the vacuum..
Other than the usual love watching you 😍 where's that last shirt from?? Looking for more flannels☺️☺️
Is there a tutorial that you follow to make those paper stars? I love the look of these in the window. Great cleaning as per usual..thanks Carissa
Alcohol, water and essential oil is a great "in-between " wood floor cleaner just pop a microfiber towel on a swifter and it works wonderfully
Your dishwasher method is spot on. Family of 6 over here and that's exactly what we do too.
I make sure my kitchen is clean at night… dishwasher run at night… my husband will unload it, each morning, before he goes to work😃🙌🏻🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great video. Just wanted to let you know that the media goes offline around 24 minutes for about 10 seconds. I also work in Premiere and I hate when this happens.
I got a question on your other vacuums. The hoover one how well does it work? I have a hoover blade but it stopped working on me not to long ago. I now am looking for a new one that might be better.
Your house is amazing and you always have such a good eye for decoration. Keep it up. Blessings for next year
I love your rug in the front sitting room! Is it linked?
Hi Carissa! Loving your videos! It’s great content and quality editing ☺️ Was hoping you could add the link for the vacuum you used in this video?
Hi Carissa,
I used my dishwasher as you do. We are also a family of five although all my three boys have moved out now. Anyone over the age of 6 was expected to put their dishes straight in to the dishwasher and not leave them on the counters.

Hi Carissa, what’s that steamer/vacuum looking thing you used to clean your white couches?
Can you tell me where you found your black dining chairs? Are they comfortable? I love the look and am on the hunt of a new set!
My first thought, " awe she's nesting ^^" haha I did enjoy this video, gave me some cleaning motivation, thank you!
I missed you more 😬 you are the best!
Just the motivation I needed! Thank you 😊
You should try glitsa wood cleaner. It's magic for wood floors and you just need to mop it once. Love your videos.
I use the powerwash on my stainless steel. Powerwash, then come back and buff if needed with windex.
Merry Christmas!🎄🎄
So motivating! We just bought a new (to us) house with similar issues that we are working on fixing up, your home reminds me of ours! We tend to clean the kitchen at night and run the dishwasher so we have clean dishes in the morning.
Great video. I wish I had as much motivation to clean as you.
Thank you! My nesting kicking in 🤣
hey! I love the display cabinets you have in that sitting space at the start of your video! where did you find them? :)
Ikea :) they are billy bookcases with the oxberg doors
You need a BONA floor cleaner the best! Maybe they would do a collab with you.
Just what I needed today! Getting into the playroom closet now! Merry Christmas 😊
Good luck!! You’ve got this
Where is your couch from? I love it!
Your house is beautiful! I love your decor style!!! 💕
Hi. Love this video. Very motivating. Please if you can just slow down a bit when moving the camera around. I get very dizzy.🤪Thx a bunch!
Wow your home is really looking so amazing! So inspiring. That doll house in the living room caught my eye and I was wondering if you could link it here?! Thank you 😊🙏🏻
I love your cleaning videos. They’re very inspiring!

Hey Carissa ... I hope you and the baby are doing welll 💓 miss you guys
Great seeing you again . You look so beautiful. TAKE it easy . Love all your projects ! ❤️
I love the color on the wall next to the door you cleaned. Do you maybe have a ncs-code for that? I live in sweden so unfortunately I can't go after a brand name. Thank you so much for all the inspiration.
You should try the Bissell crosswave cordless Max
Can you tell me how you clean that trash can?! I kept spraying the hinges when I would clean it and apparently it was dripping to the battery area.. and stopped working 🙄 ugh. I want the same one again but I hate it never feeling clean.
Hello, I mop once a week but during the muddy rainy season I'm mopping endlessly. I love your cozy home. I have a small home. Wish it was bigger. Merry Christmas.
Oh yes the muddy season is coming here too 😅 our new yard isn’t as much of a big puddle as our other luckily
My kitchen floor is the same way as your counters, same with my stove top! We didn’t buy our home brand new & those things aren’t cheap to replace 🥲
I love the girls' bunk bed! I've been eyeing one of the low bunk beds from Max and Lily for my girls.
It has been fantastic so far! Perfect height. I can still reach everything from the ground. I also love the stairs because I trust our littles more with them than a ladder
Love ur videos so much 😍😍😍😍 so motivated for us you amazing 😚😚😚
You're the best!
Looks amazing!
Can you share where you got the throw on your bed? The fleecy looking gingham print one? Looks so cozy!
It is my favorite blanket!! minky couture
Love your videos. I get jealous watching your little one stay in place though. My 9 month old is crawling everywhere and I can't get any cleaning done since I'm always chasing her 😂
I try to run the dishwasher before bed and empty it in the morning. My cats know to sit tight while I clean the kitchen 😂
so sorry i don’t see it - what is that little hand vac you use for the couch? i could totally use that!
It is an attachment to the dreame p10 vacuum! It’s linked at the top of the description :)
You look great👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
