Hey! Thanks for watching! I have 6 videos in this Zone Cleaning Series - one for each zone. See them all here in this playlist. ruclips.net/p/PLMUy6rPvNf954vuB0lmujdy2WyD8qowIM
I had to stop the video in order to comment that your sweater fits so well with your hair, nails and make up. Everything is so well put together, it's so delightful to look at. (I hope there is not too many grammar mistakes, not my strong point in English language)
I am enjoying your videos. You have a pleasant delivery and don't spend a lot of time on useless blather. Your tips and recommendations are great. Thank you
Watching from Australia. Love how you have matched all your accessories and clothes with your hair and nails. You look very healthy. I guess you each the healthy diet you wrote a book about.
The best laundry advice I ever got was to have a hamper for each person in the house, in each of their bedrooms. Also have multiple clean laundry baskets. No more sorting for 7 people!!Four of the five kids now do their own laundry, too, which is great.
This is so helpful! I've never been able to figure out the Zone Cleaning thing. I'm not much of a book learner and your videos are filling in the gaps! I'm an American living on a farm in Scotland and we have a tiny 100 year old stone farmhouse. It's a beautiful little house but a real challenge to keep neat and tidy with 5 of us living here! Have a lovely day!
This is my second time trying out the flylady method (the first time I used it for a few weeks and had to leave from home for more than a month and when I returned that was that! 😅). In another month I have to do the same, but I hope I manage to get back to it. I got a smartwatch recently and I have been using that one as a timer, since there isn't any distraction there. I think it's one of its most used features in my case 😁. I am using the app and I really like it, I wish it kept a history of all that I did everyday/week, etc.... I am really struggling with the kitchen this week, going to watch your video to see if I can improve it somehow!
Ok, great information! Question: On this system, when are all bathrooms being cleaned fully (tub, shower, etc.) weekly (as bathrooms that children/adults are using daily) need to be cleaned weekly? I’m asking since daily cleaning or zone cleaning (unless you’re in that zone) covers this (and would mean you’re not fully cleaning a bathroom that lives in different zones only once a month).
Sinks and toilets are cleaned daily as part of the “swish and swipe” routine; mirrors can easily be added to the swish and swipe routine once established and if needed. Floors are speed cleaned weekly. Anything else would be zone cleaning BUT the goal is to implement quick daily maintenance whenever possible - a common example is keeping a squeegee in the shower to squeegee the glass daily. If your personal situation means you need to make some minor adjustments (like a weekly deep scrubbing of all bathtubs and showers due to hard water, soap scum, volume of people bathing), then feel free to make those one-off adjustments. If you can handle the cutesy language and influx of emails, then signing up for the FlyLady daily emails can be helpful because they occasionally share testimonials (including reader tips on how they’ve adjusted the routines to work for them).
I like to do reading and cleaning sprints. So I read for 15 minutes and clean for 15 minutes for like a 20 hours span. It's hugely motivating for me and also i get to do something I really want to do while doing something I don't really want to do. haha
Excited to watch more of your videos :) I started the FlyLady system back in June or July and it (and a separate decluttering overhaul project) is finally allowing me to get control of my home. I’m dialed in on daily routines and the weekly home blessing, but the zone cleaning messes me up each time I try to jump in. Working to figure out how to adjust it for my home!
The key really is to make it work for you and your own personality and needs. I think that’s the only at this system works long term, so it sounds like you’re off to a great start!
The timer is going to be so good for me. I love Flylady but I don't use the timer. Lol!! I just had a baby and I have a toddler boy sabotaging me. Lol I will get back on track.
Thank you for sharing your guidance with fly lady system. I have been trying to learn as much as I can and re-program my mind to get into this habit. I have been watching a lot of different RUclips videos about this. I think you are the first to emphasize that some items on the checklist will require attention. That is a relief. Although, with my wild bunch, I may not have that luxury. Lol! Thanks again!!
I started Flylady a few months ago and love it. Only problem I have is I often forget to set my timer 😖. If the binder doesn't appeal to you there is an Flylady app.
Thank you all so much ❤️ so kind! If you have curly or wavy hair, too, or “frizzy” hair, I’ve got a video here on the channel for how to care for your curly hair!
Hey guys! Thanks for watching. By the time this series is complete, there will be 6 videos on the Zone Cleaning Method from the Flylady system. You can have your whole house deep cleaned each month in just 15 mins a day! Here are the videos I have so far: (this video) How to Clean Your Whole House By Zones - ruclips.net/video/zgHvO3lLxl8/видео.html Zone 1 - Porch, Entryway, and Dining Room - ruclips.net/video/RjnCbJGhkp8/видео.html Zone 2 - Kitchen and Pantry - ruclips.net/video/t8xsgAk5fc4/видео.html Zone 3 - The Bathrooms (plus one other room) - ruclips.net/video/ZAxpiMYaouE/видео.html
Hi Sarah I'm not a mom just a retired dog owner who would love to learn easier methods of keeping our home manageable and clean. My adult brother and I share a cottage and as we age we are finding many activities challenging because of health issues lack of strength poor mobility and even motivation! We have a gorgeous but boisterous Springer spaniel puppy who at 6months old is already a great escape artist and demolition expert but we love him. I am hoping someone will be able to offer us helpful hints on managing more easily! God bless from vera in Northern Ireland.
Lol, that little Springer will begin to calm down when she’s 13😂 yep…. Guess how I know!!!…. I taught my dogs to help with task… carrying the washing, putting their toys away etc…. They’re so smart, & need to use those brains in a positive way - good luck👩🌾
In the description box of the video, I have a link to my blog post on all of my homemade products I make and use for the bathroom tiles! One of which is a baking soda scrub - it’s really good for tiles.
Hahaha, yes we are here now! I prerecorded many videos from our American house and once those all get published in the next few months, I'll have videos from our German house!

And now I noticed that blue in your sweater matches so well with your eyes!
Thank you so very much! Your English is very good. 😍❤️
you are the most beautyful mom that i have ever seen
I am enjoying your videos. You have a pleasant delivery and don't spend a lot of time on useless blather. Your tips and recommendations are great. Thank you

Thank you! I eat pretty healthy, but honestly not really good. I could more fruits and vegetables for sure!
Hello, how you spoke about the system most logical for me... thank you....
The best laundry advice I ever got was to have a hamper for each person in the house, in each of their bedrooms. Also have multiple clean laundry baskets. No more sorting for 7 people!!Four of the five kids now do their own laundry, too, which is great.
Yes! It works so well!
That sweater is amazing with your hair!
Thank you! ❤️

You’re welcome! So glad it helped!
Would love for you to continue your podcast! Such an inspiration! Thank you so much
Oh thank you! I did really enjoy doing that. Maybe now that we are more settled here in Germany I could start it up again in the near future.
I love the flylady system! I struggle the most with getting the zones done. Will be glad for some inspiration! 😊
Oh good! I hope this video helps. And I'll have one video a week for the next 5 weeks on each zone!
Professional level video and info!
Hi sistah! Thank you!
Hello nice to meet you
Good idea to use Siri for setting the timer & then being able to have music. Love your hair!
You must be a Type 3! Your wardrobe is fabulous!
You got it! Type 3/1! Love that you’re into Carol’s system, too!
I will clean a little and rest a little.
This seems like a pretty awesome plan..
I like your approach very much! Go ahead!
I started Flylady a few months ago and love it. Only problem I have is I often forget to set my timer 😖. If the binder doesn't appeal to you there is an Flylady app.
This is the second video I watch from you and I love them
Thank you, Wendy! ❤️
Very interesting . I just subscribed.
I want your hair!
It’s gorgeous!
I looked for comments to make this same comment! I'll take the sweater too!
Me too. Amazing!
Thank you all so much ❤️ so kind! If you have curly or wavy hair, too, or “frizzy” hair, I’ve got a video here on the channel for how to care for your curly hair!
Me too ! Beautiful Color and Beautiful Hairstyle! ❤️

So cool to have a viewer from Northern Ireland! Thanks for watching!

Algorithm just made me discover you channel, you are adorable! Will be looking at more videos now!
Thank you for watching! ❤️
Off topic...where did you get your bedding set? Its lovely. Lol
Kohl’s! But 2 years ago…
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife figures.lol I'm on th hunt for something I love and hubby will at least like. Lol
OMGosh, you told Siri to set a timer….. so my iPad did it on your order!!!🤣
Oh that’s so funny!
Do you do your Zone cleaning on a Weekly Home Blessing day ? Which do you do first - the Zone or the WHB ?
Technically, yes, you’d do them both on the same day. It doesn’t matter which order - whatever works best for you!
Spotted your cat climbing the stair 🤣
Hahaha, yes, she likes to video bomb my videos. LOL
New subbie here 💜❤️
which products do u recommend for bathrooms
especially shower tiles
In the description box of the video, I have a link to my blog post on all of my homemade products I make and use for the bathroom tiles! One of which is a baking soda scrub - it’s really good for tiles.
Where can I find your podcast? Thank you 🤗💕
Hi Jane! Sure, in your podcast app, search for The Merry Messy Moms show and it'll come up.
Love hair
You look like a curly haired Alexis Bledel!
If you're in Germany, you'll have to show it to me in my house. I will then watch. laugh
Hahaha, yes we are here now! I prerecorded many videos from our American house and once those all get published in the next few months, I'll have videos from our German house!
I prefer to do my zone on a Saturday morning for an hour rather than little bits every day.
That’s great! Make the system work for you.
How do you break up your home if you have a very large home?
It can be tricky - but it is broken up through the zone cleaning method. With a larger home, you’d clean 2-3 rooms or areas each week instead of one.
U are absolutely gorgeous 🥰
