- Let's focus on how to start Clean Mama the RIGHT way! Last summer I tried to jump in and try it based solely on the things I could print for free on the Clean Mama website. So I did the Clean Mama Daily Tasks and the Clean Mama Weekly Tasks for a month and I felt like I was working a lot harder and longer which made me feel like it wasn't working for me.

However, I had messages saying that there was more to it. I really liked the thought of it and the house looked amazing. So, I want to try to do it right just like I had to do it right with FlyLady to love it. I got the book written by Clean Mama, Becky Rapinchuk, and really liked what I read.
1st of all, she has a start up plan called the 7 Day Simply Clean Kick Start which I never knew. Plus several tips about simplifying things to make it work. I will admit, I am kinda excited by how clean the bathrooms are! I think I will come to the same conclusion--a modified personal routine will always be the BEST but it is always good to change things up every now and then and get a fresh prospective!

My FlyLady Journey:
FlyLady had been a routine that I found when I got my first place on my own. However, I did it -ish. I worked 2-3 jobs and was solely focused on getting out of debt so the cleaning was hit or miss. I kept it clean but could not keep up with the daily routines, at least that's what I thought. After remarrying, I HAD to find a way to keep things running. My pet peeve is a sink of dirty dishes and alone this was not a problem, but having 2 teens at home and a new hubby...let's just say the first thing I noticed after working 12 hrs and driving 3 was the smell when I walked in the door. GROSS!
So, I pulled out the old FlyLady book and got busy. When I finally quit working, I was able to tackle the bigger projects but those routines were my saving grace when I was busy working. They still are! I've pivoted my entire CZcams channel to help other struggling Momma's to get their footing and make the changes needed to be happier in their homes. I am sooo far from perfect so I hope my story can encourage even the messiest of moms!
I have zero experience in coaching, filming, editing, or blogging but somehow God called me to do all of these things. My hope and faith is in Him and His wisdom. I hope to get to know you guys on a real level. I am an only child and desire a great big community of friends to share our lives and grow together.

I have been using clean mama since 2020. I love it. It is close to what I've done for years as a full time teacher and mother of 4 children. I had always worked an hour before and after dinner in the evening. Clean mama is faster. Now I do half an hour in the morning doing the daily clean and one daily chore. The evening is spent finishing up the load of laundry, daily declutter and room deep clean. Part of the time saved is me going around looking for things to clean.❤
That’s awesome! Well done. Any tips for newbies?
I believe the BEST cleaning routine is the one I customize for myself. Now that I’m happy with my commitment to FlyLady, I want to research Clean Mama and see what I can pull from her method.
When I tried it before, I rushed in without really understanding where to start. I missed a lot of good information from her book. I feel much more prepared now. I wanted to focus on cleaning anyway and sometimes a change can get you excited again. Just like working out, sometimes it’s good to switch things up for a bit. I am still a FlyBaby! My focus for January is to walk through the FlyLady Baby Steps for anyone new or needing a reboot.
Can you believe Christmas is in a week? Wow that went fast. I’m so looking forward to having my family here. It’s not about presents or food although they are fun. It’s really about the love of our Father and how I understand so much more as a parent. I continue to pray that you are filled with joy and peace this Christmas. ❤👼
❤ This is the first video of yours that I have seen.❤ I am a FlyBaby and love it! I just now heard of Clean Mama at the OrganizedHQ event last week. I was intrigued! Thank you for praying at the end. It made my heart sing!!! I can’t wait to jump into more of your videos. FlySis
Yay! Happy you found me and Clean Mama. I am somewhat of a flylady rebel. Sometimes I just need to change things up to keep it interesting but my foundation is always flylady. I really try to include a prayer at the end of my videos these days. My youtube journey was started because He kept pushing me to do it! My mission is to not let anyone feel as lost and overwhelmed as I did. So happy you are here!
I'm so glad that there are many systems to do things and we get to find our own. I am watching this as I finish my hand-knit socks. Not white, not the same as all the others. It's a unique sock and that's how I like mine. I don't do the one load a day option. My body can't do the stairs every day but I do have a system that works for me. My kids each get a day and I wash my clothes on one day. I think it's so important that we find what works for us.
You said that beautifully. I struggled to do things like my mother-in-law or my mom's way but I just couldn't seem to keep up. Finding inspiration from youtube truly transformed the way I view myself and my home because now I am confident enough to pick what works for me and let the rest go.
I’m so happy to see your smiling face. Just love your videos on cleaning. Thank you for your hard work and dedication.
Yes, it’s been an emotional week but I am feeling better now. Plus, I’ve spent my whole day loving on my grandson 😍🥰😘
I have tried Clean Mama for a while but came back to FlyLady. I did the daily and weekly tasks but never came to the deep-cleaning-things. And it took me more time per day than the 15 minutes of the Flyladysystem. I am looking forward to your next tipps!!!!
I have tried doing all 3 bathrooms this way, but even having one floor in my house, I felt like I was running around like crazy doing the sinks and toilets all at once. I have switched my cleaning around so much this past year, I now have like...2 or 3 different cleaning routines to fall back on...all using tips from TOMM, Clean Mamma and Fly Lady lol....plus my own habits. I think my ADHD and over-thinking tendencies get in the way, and I'll do well with one routine for a few weeks then burn out from it lol. And, I can never seem to stick to 30 minutes, even though I don't get every ittle thing done. So, I'm finding recently. That it seems to work best for me mentally and physically. If I break up the inside of my house into 3 zones, each determined by 1 bathroom and the rooms or areas closely surrounding that bathroom. And the outside is Zone 4. It's a big yard, that takes 2 hours minimum to mow on a riding mover. So. Days 1-3. I do weekly and deep cleaning in the corresponding zone for the day, excluding vacuuning, for weeks 1-3 out of the month. Then. Days 4 and 5, I can focus on Zone 4 (optional, if I weather permits, and I want or need to get anything done out there. And I'll determine how long I want to spend out there when I get to that day.
On week 4, I'll do a house reset, where my focus will be less on weekly cleaning and more on sweeping, mopping, 30 minutes of deep cleaning, vacuuming and some catching up in Zone 4; still focusing on assigned zones for each day.
I also have a laundry schedule now that will have me doing 2 loads per day for 4 days, including pet bedding, our bedding, living room blanktets, bathroom linenes, kitchen linens, and our laundry. The exception is any emergency laundry from spills, pet messes, etc, that require doing an unplanned load Emergency loads can vary. And are not every day. .
So basically, if this schedule works out for me, I will have only 3 days of weekly and/or deep cleaning, 4 days of 2 loads of laundry each (excluding emergency loads), and 2 days of outside work. That leaves me with 2 days of daliies only, and 3 days of no scheduled laundry. I'm feeling relief right now, because yesterday was day 4 of my first week, and I'm just finishing up my last scheduled weekly load that I started last night. AND, I am not doing any Zone 4 work this week, so I'm basically done with weekly ckeaning this week and can focus on other more important and more enjoyable parts of my life for the next 3 days ❤.
Also, I just want to mention, as I was commenting and lidtening to this video, your prayer for us at the end really blessed me deeply. They always do, but it really hit me more than usual. I think I needed it more today. It sparked so much inner joy with me. I pray that you get back 1000 fold today of what you prayed for all of us viewers. You are awesome! ❤
I LOVE that you shared what works for you! We need to see many versions of how people do it because it gives permission to make changes. I’ve seen so much positivity from our little community about how freeing it is one we adapt things to fit our schedules.
This was about the time God really led me to include a prayer in my videos. It goes against all the CZcams advice but I’m doing it anyway. Seeing God use a cleaning video to bless you miles away and 9 months later is a blessing to me! Thank you!
I so agree with you on this. And I'm glad you went ahead and prayed. I'm sure there are others who were also blessed by this. God is so good.
So good Terri.
I try to do one load of laundry a day and then get totally caught up on Monday.
I worked on my FlyLady Weekly Home blessing while listening to this. I’m going to listen again and keep working. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Good job. My fam is coming tomorrow and I’ve been gone all day. I’m thinking about a nighttime weekly home blessing real quick to be ready…the wet snow has my floors looking terrible already!
What a lovely video! Thank you especially for the prayer and the messages, "order out of chaos," and "joy in the journey." I appreciate you and all these ladies in the group!
You are so welcome! I know prayer and faith are not for everyone but its an important part of my life and mission to help in His glory!
Hey hey!!! Loved this video. Your floors are soooo pretty. This seems like the perfect way to get the house in shape before Christmas. Smart thinkin’. Merry Christmas❣️🎄
Thank you so much!! I was listening to your video today while I was running errands. Sounds like you had some amazing deals at Old Navy!
I love the prayer! Yesssss! ❤️
Thank you. I feel like God has put it on my heart to pray over the ladies who join me in the videos. It's the best thing I can do for you!
Terri, do you like that ZEP hardwood cleaner? I looked at it at Lowe’s the other day and almost got it but didn’t. BTW, I loved your trip to B’ham….I live about 45 miles north of B’ham and and travel there to work a couple days a week.
I love that I can spray and mop and there is No rinse. Dries quick and streak free. We had fun exploring Birmingham. We got off the beaten path.
The thing with laundry no matter who's system you are doing a load a day is not practical if you have to go to the laundry mat. Paying $1.25 to wash and.75 to dry everyday is nonsense. But everything else is good.
I completely understand. I lived through n apartment with the laundry in another section. I was able to go twice a week and do clothing midweek and towels/sheets on weekends. It isn’t easy I know.
❤️👍🏻
Thanks for watching! Are you doing any hosting for the holidays?
What floor cleaner do you use on your wood floors?
I love the zep hardwood floor cleaner because it’s super easy. Spray on and scrub. Here is a link to Amazon amzn.to/3HV3eBv I am an affiliate but it doesn’t change your price and you can clearly see from my 80+ videos that I use it. 😎
This system isn’t practical for larger homes. My last home was 3600 sq ft. It took me over 2 hours to dust.
The bathrooms killed me with just 4!
Amen
Thank you for staying for the prayer!
@@TodaywithTerriK well you are very welcome! But thank you for praying! :-)
Why are you cleaning your adult kids bathrooms? Isn't that a life skill they should master and something easy to take off your plate?
Good question. My son is going to college full time and has his own business where he works 50+ hrs a week and helps me in anything I need. My daughter is about to turn 17 and is dual enrolled in high school and college and working as many hours as possible. I only clean about once a month or so in their bathroom. I do agree it’s important to teach them life skills but this is a new marriage and they are learning my expectations. They do their own laundry, maintain our 20+ acre property, tend the horse, cook quite a bit for themselves, and maintain their own spaces. They contribute a lot and sometimes the bathroom gets out of control. It’s a process.
@TodaywithTerriK fair enough. So it is more of an act of service to show love, than a chore that is on your list of responsibilities.
That is very nice of you to do for them.
Exactly. I think it’s important to balance my expectations with grace when they are busy and working hard too.
