Yes it does 😀
When I used to have a microwave, I would take a dishrag, wet it profusely and put vinaigre on it and put that in the microwave for 30 seconds. You evidently need to wait until you can handle the dishrag and then use it to clean out the microwave. This way I had no extra bowls to handle or making sure I don't spill boiling water on myself, but if the dishrag had any microbes on it, they had been microwaved out of existence prior to cleaning the microwave. :-) Love your channel !! Soo relaxing.

she has many great ideas on her site
Does anyone find themselves constantly rewatching parts of Benita's videos because her voice is so soothing that you end up spacing out and realized you missed the information? Zero complaints at all because I just adore her and this channel. I just thought it was funny how often that happens to me when I'm watching her content.
Aww, that's so sweet, thank you!
Yess!! I have had this happen a few times 😂…I love watching Benita’s videos when I am busy and stressed ..they calm me right down !
This voice drives me nuts. I always go for the subtitles and turn off the volume.
@@user-jq1ev2vt8q How lovely.
Haha! Yes. This is my 2nd go round.
I was struck by how often you said, “if everything has a home, it only takes a minute”. The core issue for many cluttered homes is the overwhelming task of creating infrastructure, an organized place for everything. I’m constantly stunned at how poorly homes are designed. Fixing this is one weekend at a time, and only then do one minute at a time tasks become meaningful. 🤓 Love the video. Thank you!!
I try to air out my space everyday. I also do a 10 minute clean up at the end of the day. It's not about deep cleaning but picking up trash, putting things back, etc. Doing the small simple things really do help.
It all adds up if you don’t. Makes such a big difference!
Lucky you are enough with 10 minutes, I need at least one hour only to clean the kitchen after the dinner with two kids 🥴
@@anayako2724one hour ?
@@Karincl7 yes more or less so :( clean the table, the plates, the sink, the cooker, vacuum and mop the floors, throw away the rubbish, manage the toys, other random things That end up there..
How old are your kids? Eventually delegate some tasks to them and your partner. Then everything can be done in 15 to 20 minutes. Life with very small kids is messy. Been there.
It makes me smile that my grandparents (born at the end of the 19th century in France) and my parents already implemented these principles, without the help of youtube :) I learned from them, and am so grateful to them! Also, my mum always advised us not to leave a room empty-handed, if anything in it needed to be taken to another room. And what needed to leave our home was always placed by the main door. Now I'm a grandmother, and my children and grandchildren are continuing the tradition. It doesn't mean our homes are perfect, but it is true that helps so much in keeping a home (or workplace) tidy, relaxing and pleasant!
My father-in-law used to say 'take something with you when you go' (from room to room that is). I think its something he learned from his mother. I often think of that saying 🙂
Yes, don’t leave the room empty handed is a great one!
Thank you Benita. I have been on a decluttering mission for several years. I have found a less cluttered house is easy to keep clean and organized. I am retired so I enjoy using the first two months of the new year to deep clean and declutter a room at a time. This was the perfect video for January.
A less cluttered house really makes such a big difference! Yay for you!
Immediately after watching this video, I wiped down the handles and fronts of all my kitchen cabinets and drawers. It took me only a few minutes with a damp cloth, but the feeling of accomplishment (silly, I know) was so worth it! Thank you for the inspiration. ❤
Yay for taking action!🙌🏻
Benita, you are the only person who can make art out of cleaning a toilet and watching the lid close gently😉❤️
Haha! 😊
LOL!! 😂
Benita I love that you’re never too busy to give kitty a cuddle! X
If I walk past him, he needs a squeeze 😅
I also love how much you love him, even though he contributes to “clutter”. Love that little guy!
So, as well as tips for cleaning and de-cluttering, that was VERY relaxing to watch. 😊
I'm so happy you found it relaxing, that's what I look for in videos too!
So sweet, you kept your cat's couch corner as s/he likes it. Very thoughtful. 🎉
He’s my main man 🐈⬛
I noticed that part as well, a little spot left for Bonus, so sweet.
Making even the simplest tasks look beautiful. What a charming channel. Of course giving Bonus a smooch is the most important task of all. :)
He’s so smooch worthy!🐈⬛
It’s been one day of following “if it takes 60 seconds or less, do it now” and it’s already made such a difference! And I find it motivating to keep tidying after I’m done my task - might as well tidy up B since I’m done tidying A.
Wishing you the best
Hi Benita, thank you for the video. While watching I had a smile on my face as I do exactly the things you were mentioning. I'm a do it right now person, can't stand to see anything out of it's designated home., it just makes life so much easier to have a place for everything and everything in its place....See you next time.
My dad always used to say that and I live by it!
Thanks for some great tips. This may seem silly but I try to load all my silverware together in the dishwasher…forks together, knives together etc. It makes for quicker unloading because I can grab a handful and put it in the drawer and I no longer stab myself on a fork when grabbing a spoon.
I did that too until they started "spooning" (no pun intended) and didn't always get clean. Maybe your dishwasher is better than mine!
Me too!
the saying “ Cleanliness is next to Godliness “ was instilled to us by our parents, specially my mother, so cleaning and putting everything to its proper places just become a practice and has been handed to us and hopefully to the next of our generation.
Awesome 👌 👏....thank you, Benita. I never go to bed at night without tidying up the condo. Do not want to get up and start my day looking at a mess first thing in the morning 🙃. Stay well! Love from Canada 🇨🇦
Thanks so much for watching!
Make my bed every morning. Makes my day.
Hi Benita! Hello from Tennessee. I just had some huge dental surgery today ( had worse 7 months ago.) Your videos have helped me tremendously. I have finally gotten my house in good order and feel like I have some control over my life. My Nana was very much a minimalist and kept her home simple and in order. As kids, we 3 granddaughters made fun about it but that stopped years ago as we saw the value in how and what she did. Your habits are so similar that your videos just warm my heart. Plus they are very calming and your voice runs my anxiety out of me. I just wanted to say thank you. I'm sure you have heard similar before but it was important tonight to tell you here. Your videos brighten my days. Thanks again!!
Thank you! And speedy recovery!
My Granny and Mother used to say “a place for everything and everything in its place”!
My dad used to say that too!
You have the best advice, I literally binge watch while preparing my home. I hope I can get there this year with my home being so easy and relaxing to live in.
Thank you! I'm so happy you find my videos useful!
I tend to do small things. Being truthful I don’t even notice I’m doing them now. They’re so ingrained into me I automatically do them. No thought process involved anymore 😂. I’ve lost track of the amount of times I’ve gone to sort washing and I’ve already done it earlier. Same with the dishwasher.😅. It’s a great way to keep on top of the house.😊 I also empty the dishwasher before bed. That way as the day goes on the next day I can just put dishes in as they accumulate. The kitchen always looks tidy then.😊. These are great tips. Thank you.
That's the goal, to not even realize that you're maintaining your home!🙌🏻
@@BenitaLarssonI agree. When I first started it was a chore to remember and do it. Then one day it just clicked. Now I wouldn’t be any other way. 😊. Greetings from the UK.
I am jealous of your outdoor climate for airing things out! I live in Florida, so opening windows means letting heat, humidity, pollen, and mosquitoes in! 😄
I've always told my kids ( now adults ) never waste a wet cloth. I do the same as you with my facecloth and any microfiber wash cloths that are going into the laundry I'll be sure to find something to wipe down en route. 😂
Something to wipe down en route!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😆👌🏻
This music is fantastic. I thoroughly enjoyed this video while winding down right before falling asleep.
So glad you enjoyed!
It makes me happy to see that you are feeling better, happier, contented. It shows. 😊❤
Thank you so much!
I have to clean up and reset my home before I go to bed. I love waking up to a tidy home. It really starts the day out on a positive note. I also keep my home company ready. I am a widowed Mom of 2 and there is no excuse not to keep your communal areas clean and neat. When I know someone is coming over, I just make sure the hallway bathroom is ready, which takes about a minute. A quick wipe down, and fresh towels is all it takes. Airing out our home every day is a must. I have a question for you Benita.... with the separation of your floor boards, are you concerned that, eventually, dust and dirt will fill them up? Another lovely, calming, helpful video as always, thank you Benita ! Have a lovely day ! 😀❄☃💗
There are a few gaps in my floorboards but most of them are filled in. But my vacuum cleaner takes care of the dust so I’m good.
What a helpful video for the New Year! Love this, especially the puddy cat 😻. Thank you Benita 👏❤
I organized a basket that holds office supplies while I watched the video, and was able to recycle and throw away several things. I love taking a few minutes here and there to do small tasks.
That’s a great use of time!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
As another commenter noted, I also see videos like this as "regular training sessions". Reminders like these, both short and long lists, are so helpful for when you're in a slump/or suddenly busy too.
I love the clean as you go method. I also do that wile I am cooking. Makes things so much easier.
So much easier!🙌🏻
I never tire of watching your videos Benita, so relaxing and full of useful tips.
39 tips I needed to hear - thank you again Benita!!!
Thanks Benita, this is fantastic
Excellent tips Benita, thank you for the inspiration
I am so envious of your beautiful home with those soft closing drawers and enough cabinet to even keep your microwave out of sight!
Your videos are not only helpful & inspiring, but also calming. Our home has five occupants with one being a five year old, but I still manage to pick up some of your suggestions like always having a donation box or bag handy in coat closet. Thank you, Benita.
Thankyou for helping me declutter more. Brilliant video as always xxxxxxxxxx
Love how you keep your home and these suggestions are good to know and to do. Would never have thought of denture cleaning tablet for the toilet, great idea! Thank you for all you do.
Glad you find them useful!
Hi Benita. I have learned so much from you. I have decreased the visual clutter in my home exponentially. Sometimes, I learn by looking in the background or around what you’re featuring. Today, I spotted the Power Paste container and noticed you had removed the label. It looked so much neater and it is obvious what it is. I immediately took care of it on mine and also on a couple others I had missed. I love opening cabinets and seeing a uniform white or translucent containers. Thank you.
So happy if my videos have been helpful!
I wish the labels were easier to remove 😫
@@sparky9839 I’m most successful when using a scraper/blade to lift one end and the slowly and carefully peeling back. On glass, soaking works best for me.😉
Velmi děkuji za video, donutilo mne vyžehlit dlouho odkládané prádlo.😉👍
Thanks for the tips. Of course, starting with a decluttered home is the key! Since I became much more minimal, I see how much faster it is to clean and tidy. Your tips are super applicable when there are only three things to move on the mantle. Tidying the bathroom used to be such a chore, when I had to move half a drug store off the counter to clean it. Minimalism has so many benefits. Thank you for these regular training sessions ❤️
Having less is definitely helpful!
Bernita, your videos always motivate me to go and do something that will make my home a nicer place to live! Thank you so much😊
Thank you, so good to get a video from you. Perfect subject.
So glad you’re watching! Thank you!
I love you my beautiful sister Benita, your voice, the content, the music 🎵.And the info you have to give. here for it all. Thank you so much. I hope you have an amazing blessed week and weekend 🙏🏽🤍💕🤍
Yeah! It’s two-week Tuesday ❤️
Aww, yes! Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you for reminding all these great tips. Your mail box and cloth bag idea is very useful.
So happy if you found some that you can implement!
Your quick solutions are absolutely practical, convenient and take no time at all. Many thanks for the tips! Love from Spain ❤
Always the Best ! ❤
Aww, thank you so much!
Your dustpan and brush is so beautiful!
Enjoyed this video❤️ Happy New Year.
Hi Benita I found your channel during 2020 lockdown and have been decluttering ever since so thanks for the inspo 😂. These tips are great and while I do most of them there are still some gems in there that I will start today. Your videos always inspire ne to try and do better so big thumbs up from my little part of Scotland. Have a great day
I’m so happy if you feel inspired after watching!
🇬🇧 Always look forward to your vlogs, so relaxing and gets me motivated, thank you 🙏
So happy if you find motivation in my videos!
Ahhh great minimalist minds think alike! This morning I made 3 jars of overnight oats for the next few days AND I cleaned my microwave! I'm trying to keep on top of my daily ten minute tidy. Love this video! You are always an inspiration💙
How do you make jars of overnight oats?
I use 1/2 cup quick oats, 1/2 banana, 2 tsp chia seeds and a dash of maple syrup. Then I pour almond milk (any milk will do) in the jar and mix it all together. Sometimes I put fresh berries on top. I put it in fridge overnight and the next day it's a delicious treat. Hope this helps!@@lauramitchell6725
Know I have hopes I will, one day, have an organized, clean and nice home. I made just a few baby steps but I feel good, before I felt I would never ever finish and got depressed. Your videos really help me! I even like the comments of your followers
Your place is so beautiful. Keep up the great work.😊
This was a terrific video for me. Very motivational. All extremely useful tips to Create, productive habits
Happy new Year. Thank you for these great tips I love 🩷 these 60 second chores that can get done in between the main. I am going to start now.🌸
Yay, happy if you felt inspired!
I started to keep the house really organised when I was selling my last home in order to keep it always ready for viewings. I have now adopted the same routine in my new home. I always multi tusk now when waiting for the kettle to boil or something to cook, I clean or declutter a drawer in the kitchen or wipe down doors or plug sockets. Bathroom is always cleaned after use. All these things only take a few minutes and are very easy to achieve, making the deep clean every so often much less hard work. Selling my home totally changed how I approach housework, I actually enjoy cleaning and tidying now. You do many of the things I do!
Annie, good for you.
Keeping your home ready for viewings is such a good learning experience!
You always inspire me to get up and do a bit of tidying up every day. Happy New Year 🎉
Happy new year!💫
I like your denture cleaning tablet tip. I never would have thought of it!
Happy New Year Benita, to you and Bonus. Your cleaning and decluttering videos are my favourites. I re-watch them over and over and I always learn something new! The comment section is useful too, you can always find some new ideas and great advice. Take care. 🦝❤🌼
Happy new year!💫
As always, I'm inspired. And those Flowers! Such a beautiful way to begin and end. Thank you for the inspiration!
So happy if the video left you inspired!
Happy New Year. Thank you for your many videos. Again, you have provided a useful tip to help me keep my small living space clean and organized. One of the first tips you offered years ago was to re-think the "why" of using kitchen drawers. I was surprised I was using kitchen drawers the same as my mother! Today you showed the use of bags on hooks for holding disposables. Eureka! I have the same-sized trash bins that I used in my house, and now I have a small apartment. One hanging bag for trash and 1 bag for recycling will save so much space and encourage me to remove trash every 2 days instead of weekly. All the best for you in this new year, Benita.
Happy new year! I’m so happy if you’ve gotten some ideas that you can implement from my videos!
Thank you for sharing. Avid viewer from the Philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

Dear Benita! I felt so confident while watching your great video, as I do similar things on my daily routine…. It helps so much and when you are used to it, it takes almost no effort!
