For cleaning sinks with baking soda and vinegar, my plumber recommends, as the last step, filling the sink full of hot water and then pulling out the sink stopper. He says the vinegar and baking soda loosen up the gunk and the final flush sends it down to the main drain line.
My hack when I don’t want to do anything is to play a game with myself, which I actually like to do. I quickly assess the room and give it a number. For example, I will set the timer for 12 minutes to pick up the living room and vacuum area rug. This does something to my brain. The fog clears and I turn into this efficient, cleaner, organizer and move from room to room. Believe it or not this helps getting me motivated to shower and change out of nightgown. I will set timer for 15 minutes and tell myself to shower, moisture face, brush teeth, and blow dry half of head and let the rest air dry and 15 minutes later I’m dressed and looking a lot better than when I started. And I never forget to tell myself “good job.””
This is great 👍 Thanks for sharing.
I like this. Very positive.
@@lisafeck1537 Thanks🤗 Good luck!
I love this!

My hack is to let kids help! I started a chore jar with my son when he was 3 (he picks a popsicle stick out of a jar with a chore on it) and now at 7 it’s part of his routine. Yes at 3 I had to redo his chore or let it go partly done but now at 7 he’s super helpful and sometimes even does a better job than I would!
When i was growing up , then when i had my own kids, n now with the grandkids- we alwsys did a "family clean". That is everyone (including dad) gets up n we all clean until the house is done. We dont ususlly do deep cleans w/ this, bit at least 1x a day it really helps to have everyone pick up n clean fir 15-20 minutes. As a kid (i had lots of brothers) we deep cleaned sat morning. We all worked for 90 mins to 2 hours. In that time we got the sheets changed, floors washed, n all the rooms really clean. Also when one of us would go out to work outside (shovel) those of us in the house would clean- ti they were done. It meant tgat we were s team. Our mom, n later me were not the cleaning lady. We were all responsible about our messes
@@amykrueger-smith5461 I love this! What a great idea, having everyone work as a team and at the same time!!! Sounds like less pulling teeth to get everyone to pitch in
If your son also likes to help around in the kitchen, perhaps he'll become interested in baking. In ten years, he can mention to a gal he likes (or boy, I don't judge), "Hey, you want to help me bake a cake for my mom's birthday?" (or someone close, even for the potential friend her/himself). It might impress the subject of his interest a great deal, a new line unheard before in the annals of dating! Gordon Ramsay had intended to be a football (soccer) player but hurt his knee, so his second choice was becoming a chef and he even went to France to apprentice (starting with dish washing and learning French).
@@debbys-abqnm4537 yes!! My son loves to cook and bake and do anything in the kitchen. My dad for him kid safe knives last year for Christmas and they have been great for him!
@@karenprinz5987 -- so nice! That _almost_ makes me wish I'd had kids... but then I'd have to share my kitchen, I guess! Yikes!
A laundry tip: One the load come out of the dryer fold/hang it right away. This is the only thing that gets my laundry complete. Also, less wrinkles. It doesn't take as long as you think and it it very beneficial.
Yes! I've been doing this for years and it's made all the difference.
So true! If laundry is quickly folded, it doesn't wrinkle. Then immediately put it away. Teach your kids to do their own laundry; mine did their own laundry by age nine. Easy-peasy! No more "single sock box" on top of the dryer. All socks are safety-pinned together at all times except on our feet. The safety pin safely closed a n d hid under sock top.
True! When I do my laundry, I only do my laundry. I don’t multitask. I find that when I multitask I end up missing a final step in my process. But when I only do my laundry, I will fold it or hang it up because that’s all I’m doing that day. Also, I wear my clothes twice (except underwear)before washing them. I do fewer loads per week this way. 😏
start (sorry, had to do it & sorry if I missed any)
@ 1:37 do laundry by person
2:15-have certain days for certain tasks
4:32 use robot vacuum (she has model number and I honestly think she gets paid for it but I'm probably wrong),,🤷
7:50 use disposable toilet wands
8:25 use air duster (like the ones used on keyboard)
9:13 she uses cleaning product to clean the dishwasher and clothes washer & clean the dishwasher filter.
9:40 use a steam cleaner
11:00 use dryer sheets to dust
11:47 after using blender, let it soak in dish detergent before cleaning it.
12:07 (this is a great one) put baking soda & vinegar down the kitchen drain to remove odors(follow that with tons of hot water to get grease down the drain) & then just the baking soda to scrub the sink afterwards
13:53 set a 15 minute timer to tidy up a room fast (if you're on a ⏲️ you'll probably go faster
Yes I use used baking soda from fridge to scour & drain™✓✓✓
Agree w all but the robot vac!
With distilled vinegar
Reward system YAAAS'
She is getting paid by the robot vacuum company, she disclosed it that they are the sponsors.
I have never used one but I'm really tempted to. Why wouldn't I like a vacuum cleaner cleaning my home without me having to pay attention to it. I am still I'm the research stage and inclined to buy the ones from neato.
I use the toilet wands but before I use it in the toilet I do a quick once over on the tub and tile then finish up with the toilet before tossing it.
Genius
Wow genius!
Oh my stars what a great idea. I always feel like there is too much cleanser for just the toilet!
I do that too
Same
Love watching you young mothers. We are raising two young grandsons. It’s so hard the second time around!
I think you’re amazing for doing that...much love and respect to you.
So sweet of you .. much love and prayers to you and your family... 🥰😊🙏
Thank u for this. 🥳
Thank you for being there for them and taking them in and on!
God bless you!
I just bought myself a robot vacuum. I retired from work in September 2019 because of a back injury. My daughter and her husband are remodeling my tiny home for me. I had a lot of walls and a hallway that made my tiny home SO much smaller. It’s only 350 square feet or so. So taking out all of my walls (except for one, my bathroom/closet) and opening the whole thing, it’s now a HUGE tiny home. I told my daughter I needed to get a new vacuum. She told me how much easier it would be on my back if I got a robot vacuum. I had never even thought about that before! My back injury limits the amount of time I can stand. It tightens up and gets very painful. I have to sit quickly to get relief. So I’m super excited to get back in my house (in about 2 weeks) and put that little robotic maid to work for me!! Lol
Oooh I just got a iRobot vacuum too back around thanksgiving it was $143 from $300. I still vacuum regular but this is amazing for just a clean up when it’s too early/late,or I’m not in the mood-too busy. Helps with my anxiety & depression a bit.
Hubs and I both have spinal issues and have had surgeries and all. The exterminator just told us mice can dig in the carpet and dine on crumbs of dog food. I'm shopping now for a robot vacuum
I know exactly how you feel. I also have injured my back twice, had surgery, and can only stand for a minute before having to sit down. The pain is excruciating. I found I have to sit while making dinner. I open s drawer in the island, put in a serving tray that fits or a piece of birch wood. I can now sit at the island more comfortably while chopping or peeling potatoes. I too want a robot vac. It would make things so much easier as even using a swifter dies me in.
@@gloriastage1635 I tell my kids, getting older isn't for sissies
I would love a robot vacuum! Just need to save.
Also, I'm not sure if it works for the washing machine, but to clean my dishwasher, I sprinkle baking soda around the bottom and leave a cup of vinegar sitting in the top rack, then run a hot cycle and it cleans itself. It saves having an extra product!
For a money saving tip. Get a rechargeable air blower it has saved is a great deal. No more cans of air. Less waste in the trash too. We found ours on Amazon in the computer section.
Or just use an attachment on the vacuum - sucks the dust up instead of blowing it around.
Wait-what?!?! Oh I'm going to look right now!
Or maybe after this video...
I use my air compresser to blow inbetween small hard places to reach
I appreciate how your toddler is taking things out of the drawers as you’re trying to clean the room! such a #momlife moment!
When my daughter was 2, she would place toys, just so, covering the whole floor. Then she would proudly say"Look! I made a park!"
The “big shower”. Yesss🤣. We do know what you are talking about.
Never knew people do this? I shower everyday. lol
@@cmck2021 Right, people still shower every day, but I don’t deep condition my hair, etc. everyday. That is for the “big shower”.
Hahaha! Yes! And mine is Friday too!
The big shower! Yess!!
I’ve never heard of it lol I just shower every night 🤷🏻♀️
When my son became mobile, my husband named him “One Man Wrecking Crew.”
Guster has a song "One Man Wrecking Machine" that we sing to my toddler LOL
@@SarahCadge , I’ll have to search for that! 😊
My son has a shirt that says this and it couldn't be more true, haha
When my first was a toddler, my dad called her The Pink Tornado
So accurate!
I do 10 minute workouts, I feel like I can make time for 10 min to move my body a few times a day. And then I’m like wow I did a whole set of workouts today lol
I also put my kitchens drain plugs into the dishwasher with the cleaner, two jobs done at once
I keep my bathroom cleaning supplies in the bathroom. When I have a few minutes I do quick spot cleaning, sometimes every day. Then when I do a deeper clean on the weekend it means it’s easier to do that thorough job.
I do the same! Or keep my basic homemade all purpose cleaners on the kitchen sink in nice bottles so I can just grab it when needed instead of digging for different cleaners
I folded laundry out of the dryer and into colour coded baskets... one colour for each member of the family... and we were a family of 6. When the kids were old enough they would retrieve their basket and put away their own laundry. It was a good system. That way you can separate colours more effectively and have full loads.
I love this. I do sheets on Sunday so Sunday night I have fresh sheets and it makes me so happy and I like how it starts my week
I love that you have the scrunchie on your wrist…… I can totally relate.. hair goes up, comes down, goes up, comes down…. All day
The way that vacuum went around those cords was genuinely impressive!!!!!!
The dryer sheet hack is the best. They work even better if they’ve been used once first through a load of laundry. Don’t throw them away! They’re amazing!
Used dryer sheets are the best and they effectively remove soap scum from my sinks.
You touched on something about doing something for yourself. A friend had posted something similar last month. He said when it came to cleaning he started using the “doing it for my future self to make them happy” and that was so life changing. We do so much for everyone else and when we don’t want to clean, using this trick makes you clean more and you’re whole attitude changes when you come in and see a clean room. You are grateful for it, it helps your mood and it helped so much.
We have the same robot vacuum and it is by far a superior robot vacuum. Not gonna lie it was expensive but so worth it!
Never going on with life without my robot vacuum, such a game changer
Love that we are normalizing “big shower” day 😊 I do the exact same thing, also on Fridays!
It was so cute how you began this video with how your son put everything back on the floor faster than you can clean it up and then at the end of the video while you're making the bed, he is opening the side table drawer and tossing whatever he finds onto the floor, so cute!
I started doing the 15 minute timer for cleaning spaces and it really is amazing how much I can get done! I cleaned my entire kitchen and even had time to deep clean the sink all within 15 minutes !!
When the things that clean your things breaks down because you didn’t clean them, then you realize you DID have time to clean those things. I speak from experience 😂
I use those dish wands with pads that you put soap in, and use it to clean my bathtub and walls. Then just rinse away. But I really want to get a steamer for those hard to get to places.
Yes yes yes!!! Everyone always looks at me funny when I say I separate laundry into his, hers, whites, and bedding. :-)
You could use your steamer on your sinks & down the plug hole as it helps to get rid of any grease etc sticking to the sides 😀 I love so many of your hacks 😀 x
How sweet your little boy in the backround when you organize stuff in the bedroom
These are great tips! Going to try the dryer sheets for wiping down my mini blinds. Also, the magic erasers are fantastic for cleaning stainless steel sinks. Even after I think mine are clean, a magic eraser always picks up more dirt and makes them less dull looking.
I love your videos so much! You always have such a great variety of tips. Thank you!! 🙌🏻
It’s great that you found a clothes washing method that works for you! If you want fabric and clothing items to last it’s better to wash items separately vs altogether in one load. Darks by themselves in cold water, same with whites but in hot (or warm). Towels, underwear, socks & washcloths in hot. Jeans by themselves & so on. 🙂
Waffle weave towels for any windows does the trick as well, in case you don’t have access to a steam Cleaner.
I love all your time savers!
Thanks for sharing!! Always great 😊
Thank you Kallie! You are motivating me so much!!!
When my son was 4 I would set the kitchen timer for 1 minute. Go go go see how fast we could pick up toys etc. ☺️
Mine would get 1p for every spoon, knife or fork they could find when the cutlery drawer looked a bit empty. 😂
We did a 10 second tidy when it was time to clean up before dinner.
10 very slow seconds 😜but it was like a game so we got lots done in a short time. Not to mentions “10 second tidy” is just fun to say.
i love these cleaning/decluttering videos!
I SO agree with you about the robot vacuum!
I love your videos Kallie. You're very informative and fun to watch.
Happy Sunday!! Love your videos!!❤
So grateful for these tips. I am trying to address cleaning in more organized way, and have the luxury of a thoroughly clean apartment. This is very helpful and motivating. Thank you!
YES! Everyone in my family has a laundry basket in their room. No sorting.
We really need to start doing this. Idk why I don’t already. I do it at work and literally makes all that laundry much more manageable
Some great tips, thank you
Lots of great tips here! Thank you ✨
Thanks so much for sharing, love watching your videos 💖
Loved the dryer sheets idea 💡
Thank you Kallie! Love this and so much love your channel...you're one of my faves and you're not annoying at all!!!! ;)
thank you for this! you always have such informative videos!
Thank you for sharing. Many ideas you showed, I'm going to use them starting this week. Have a wonderful day.
Such a great video. Thank you for doing it.
These were great! THANKS!
Thank you, I especally like the dryer sheet hack!
Bought a ryobi 2 pack scrubber, comes in soft, medium and hard. Put it on my 12v ridged impact (compact size) cleaned shower, tub and sink in 10 minutes. Super. Also cleaned the windowsills that needed tlc. Saves time and energy. The little round scrubber that you put soap inside also comes in handy to clean lightly soiled dishes, ie popcorn and chips ....wash, rinse....done in 10 seconds. These little things make you want to clean more often.
You are amazing. I just found you this evening and binge watched several of your videos. you go girl
I love the Clorox toilet wand! It’s all I’ve used for years! Gets your toilet super clean!
I agree with the baking soda and vinegar and hot water! Works wonders. Also a fan of Dawn dish soap and a tea kettle of boiling water for toilet clogs.
i've watched lots of content like what you provide, but somehow you give a fresh perspective and new ideas i haven't seen hundreds of times before.
Thanx for the great tips! I have ordered your cleaning printables and will get a couple items from Amazon. I so appreciate your channel.
With 4 long hair cats my robot vacuum makes the house so much cleaner. Legit its my favorite purchase in a long time!
Love the air duster hack!
You are so right and im glad I stumbled upon your channel so much tips ive learned from you. Thanks
Great vid, never thought to use dryer sheets for dusting, but it makes so much sense.
I've always cleaned my dishwasher each time I've used a box of dishwasher tablets, that way it's a regular habit... my first dishwasher was still going strong over 15 years after I'd bought it!
Great idea to do it when the container is used up! 😊
I love that I can actually trust your recommendations on sponsored items. I’ve tried other suggestions you’ve made and they’re awesome! Thanks for your honesty and transparency 💗
Yes! My 3 year old like to rearrange the decorations in the house
The dryer sheet hack is ridiculously perfect!!! I love it and works so good!!!
Oh my gosh #9 the blender, that will change my life. Genius.
I love your videos and use a lot of your ideas. I will often start cleaning or organizing in the middle of watching them, and keep them playing while I work around the house. This video, I found myself taking an imaginary shot each time you said "literally". Don't change; you're awesome. It was just a fun game to distract from these trying times.
Thanks for the tips
Ok, the best was watching your son during the 15 min clean, just staying busy @ your nightstand. 🥰
I do the laundry per person as well. And, since my daughter is old enough, I have her to do most of hers… which is helpful.
I’m sold. Adding that robot vacuum to my wishlist!!!
Thank you for Sharing.
I use alarms all the time for cleaning. Great hacks, thanks.
Love your hacks and style. I could REALLY relate to the BIG shower night, I do the same but mine is Sunday night.
Great video! Thanks!
Love the steam cleaner window trick. 😊
Totally agree and have been doing laundry by person for years and all my kids learned to do their own laundry on their assigned laundry day from age 12. Love your presentation and Vids! 👍💕🌞
Love all your videos. We got a Deebot for Christmas. Love it so much we ordered another one for upstairs. Where has that little robot been my whole life? It’s the best.
Thank you for reminding me about the effectiveness of setting a timer. It worked for my kids ... A tool tool for me to put to use for myself.
Wow! These are some fabulous ideas! The other day I saw a dryer sheet on the laundry room floor and it was dusty so I just used it to cleaned that corner real quick and I noticed it did a great job. I'm totally going to use those more. And the steamer for cleaning windows and such! And the blender idea! This is by far my favorite hack video so far.❤️
Terrific! Thanks
The blender trick is SO SIMPLE!... How didn't I think of it yet?!
I love your videos. Thank you.
You are amazing! Makes me feel i can do it!
I just found your channel and I am loving your videos! I'm trying to clean up my life as I just moved into my first apartment at 20. I never realized how much stuff I have! Thank you for making it less daunting and entertaining at the same time!
Your videos motivate me so much! Thank you! FYI, your laundry basket matches some tile coasters and plastic placemats from the DT exactly! I'm thinking it would make a cool theme for a laundry room.
So many great ideas.
YES to the first one! I started doing that this year and it's so much easier to deliver it straight to one room after it's washed and dried.
I love the dryer sheet idea - I don't use them for laundry, will try it for dusting
Just ordered a steam cleaner! I've been looking for something to clean my grout with so I'm excited!
Wow i kearned so much in this video. The dryer sheets woah n i have the same exact steamer n the attatchment to use for windows genius ♡♡ love ur channel
The "big" shower 🚿 love it.
The steamer one is my absolute favorite. It's genius why haven't i thought of that before 😅😅🤦♀️
I love this! ❤
The blender cleaning trick I do that with my french press and my toddler loves to help because it's "making bubbles"!
Thank u, this was great.
❤️🙏🌟👍👏
Wow great advice
#3 has been a game changer for me. I have been encouraging everyone I know to get a Roomba.
so so usefull!!! thank you🙏🤗💝
