10 Cleaning Hacks for Busy Moms | Susan Yara

[@nishatpolook315]

i am not even a mom but i am watching this just because i love susan so much

[@ItsAshley08]

Lol me too.

[@megayik6349]

same muahahha xD

[@koltongabriel6061]

I know it is kinda randomly asking but do anybody know a good website to stream newly released series online ?

[@yehudagabriel185]

@Kolton Gabriel I use Flixzone. Just google for it =)

[@Mescreamingstar]

Great tips! Two main tips me and my husband use are: 1) never go to bed with a dirty/full kitchen sink. 2) Always take something when leaving the room. Because there is always something that doesnt belong in that room. (Wrapers, dishes,toys, socks,etc)

[@The.Caroline]

No shoes in the house is pretty much the norm in Norway! If anyone says "it’s ok, you don’t have to take them off", even if you’re just walking through the house to access their back yard or if you’re getting something you forgot in another room, my automatic reaction is always "😬 are you sure?"

[@Patiektigeriausia]

Caroline Yes! Also, you would never want to walk with shoes on i.e. french parquet floor because you would ruin it 😐

[@EmorettaRobinson]

I've heard that about Norway too. Before that I was told it was an Asian thing. Which I found odd because I'm black and have never been to Asia but also don't like to wear shoes in my home.🙂

[@gyanismirh3416]

Its definitely a Caribbean thing as well

[@anastasialatysh3809]

Same in Ukraine. We actually banned a few friends who just would not take shoes off at all and purposely just storm through the entrance inside of the house so I won’t even have time to say “ please take your shoes off” 🙄even though they know it is a rule!

[@gyanismirh3416]

@@anastasialatysh3809 that's so disrespectful ! Are you still friends?

[@missmoy24]

Yes yes! Love this. Purging our stuff and donating has been a great way to keep our house from busting at the seams! Another tip: toy rotation. My son has so many toys and makes the house look so cluttered. If I take and store some of the toys and rotate them, he thinks they’re new!

[@gabrieladaneshka5767]

I'm from Europe and no one here walks inside a house with their shoes on. I've never understood why people in the US do that because it just makes absolutely no sense. There is so much bacteria and dirt on the streets and especially if you have any carpets, this makes life unnecessaryly harder.

[@notbeingsarcastic5947]

I live in The United states and wearing shoes in someone's house is rude and gross.

[@Komerican10]

Omg yes! I’m in the US and my husband and his family ALWAYS wear shoes in their house!! NASTY! I’m Korean and I don’t let that happen. Even my in laws asked my hubby, “ Oh that’s something you can’t win on?” What the?? Seriously! They hate taking off their shoes in the house! I make them IF they come over, but I don’t invite them at all anymore due to them being difficult and treating me like crap. I had my kids take off their shoes ONCE in their house and by the time we had to leave, all of our WHITE clean socks were SO black and dirty!!! I almost puked. I hate ppl that live in filthiness.

[@Kokilovesreno]

It depends on the family Americans are not just one group of people.

[@Mr2009309]

Im also european and we wear shoes inside our house...

[@MrKylesich]

@@Komerican10 lol like do Americans wear shoes in shower too? In Canada only cops wear shoes in your house.

[@Jocebearr]

The robotic vacuum also exits in a mop form and it works just as smart knowing where not to go like rugs etc.

[@SusanYara]

If there’s one thing I hate most, it’s cleaning my house!! I feel like it’s all we do these days. Toys, food, stains. It’s my life. Hope this was helpful! Please share your tips too!

[@bibimahira]

Very helpful, even to us single ladies

[@sarina4526]

Maybe try and hire a house cleaner even just once a month! Love you btw ❤️❤️❤️

[@wifdaflow]

Susan Yara can we have a house tour susan?😁

[@gladysmercado5275]

I bought the same robotic vacuum on Amazon prime days. I love it and works great.

[@Rebecca-ck3qq]

Do you think this vacuum would work in a small house? Im considering buying one for my mom, but am weary about how it would work in her small apartment!

[@gladysmercado5275]

Yes, I think it would be fine in a small space. I sometimes close off a few doors because I don’t need an entire house clean and works great.

[@kamillelord3891]

Hey! Are you still loving the robot? I'm looking into getting one!

[@gladysmercado5275]

Kamille Lord Hi!! I still have it and with 3 dogs in the house. Still works great I love it.

[@the.annethology]

If you try to wear shoes in the house, my Asian mom will hunt you down with her bamboo stick/plastic hanger. 😛😂😂 Shoes/slippers are such a no-no.

[@ammarahayaz]

My little one is 12 weeks almost and these tips are so helpful End of pregnancy n first 2 months was more relaxed But now when I look around everyone needs a good clean

[@display_name2121]

I have been seriously, seriously considering a cleaning person and I now feel validated lol! So I'll be over here googling cleaning reviews 😂👍🧡

[@saraannuar]

This is very helpful. I bought the Eufy vacuum that comes with the mop also because of your video, so thank you. 😘

[@SparklesSujin]

So inspiring and helpful to a mum of a baby like me! Thanks!

[@hasitdawnedonyou]

Recommend that robot vacuum. I have the same and we ❤️ it. The way I see it, the robot vacuum does the job 90% well so on the weekends I do a better overall job plus mop. The cleaning lady is def a good idea would highly recommend esp if both have jobs.

[@yasminmulla8337]

dlxe sorry this might be a stupid question, but how does it get dust/dirt out from corners if it’s a round vacuum?

[@hasitdawnedonyou]

@@yasminmulla8337 it's why I say the vacuum does a 90% good enough job. It does not completely take over a vacuum and I think it's kinda weird to think it does. During the weekend we clean the corners more thoroughly but also there are models that have brushes on the front that sweep up dust. they look weird but I guess it works? Also they have models now that are square.

[@stephmurphey5847]

Does it work well on carpets?

[@JessAdams863]

I have teenagers and they’re messier now than when they were toddlers. Go figure. Btw I love your couch pillows.

[@nadareyene]

Jessica Adams my sisters are like that too and i think you need to teach kids from an early age to be cleaner & organized so that helps later ... wish my parents did that

[@suesue242]

I believe on the cleaning lady!!! I thought I was a good cleaner till I hired a cleaning lady for the first time & omg 😮 they did such an amazing job!! We had to do it bc we were putting our house on the market. It’s a must.

[@jasminarnold8777]

Hi. What helps really a lot is, when the kids are from the biggining included into cleaning process. This means, they should bring cloths to the dirty laundry basket basket. Carry the dishes to the kitchen countertop at a certain age (6 years). Let them help you to clean up mirrors or windows, thats also fun especially in Summer. Ask the kids to make the sofa nice or their bed, in their way. So many things..😊

[@durbanag6061]

Same with my son..drinking the bath water!

[@kathrynlandis6563]

I. Love. This! I have a six month old and I’m constantly cleaning. Looooove the dryer sheet tip. Dusting is my least favorite lol

[@dianegreiner4054]

Be careful with the dryer tip as some people are extremely allergic to them. I dried some clothes with a dryer sheet and put them in my bedroom dresser and the next morning my eyes were swollen 😫. I had to wash everything again to remove whatever the dryer sheet left behind.

[@ToReall]

Your so pretty !! Thanks for the tips !

[@EmorettaRobinson]

I don't have children but I have a dog. He's adorable but shedding is real with him. I vacuum at least once, but sometimes twice a day. I've been thinking about a robotic vacuum. Glad you featured it. And I'm a short black woman who was born and raised in Florida. I don't like to wear shoes in my home either. So I agree with you on that also. And I liked that dryer sheet dusting idea as well!🙂

[@rebeckas4207]

The vacume helps so much I love my neato. And having pets and one 11 month old I got the bissell spot clean and I use it for a lot of stuff that I hated having to clean before. Feels so much easier to maintain now.

[@rainbird2372]

Great tips thank you!

[@LouisaKorkieZA]

Couldn't agree more on the Robot Vacuum. I use mine daily. My 18 month old is always playing on the floor and I have two large dogs and they are constantly bringing dirt into the house. I also use a spray mop to spot clean and I find one of those mini brush and dust pan sets great for small messes.

[@meghnachatterjee491]

Susan THANK YOU!!

[@beautynerd5918]

Thanks for sharing! My cleaning tip would be to get everyone on board with cleaning & organizing in the house (adults, kids, roommates, etc). This will place the responsibility on each person so no one feels like they have to carry the burden of doing most of it themselves. I make my 22 month old son put his toys away before he leaves the room he is in and if he wants to play with something else he must put away the previous items he was playing with first. Another tip would be to get as much stuff off the floor & countertops by using shelves. This will utilize your vertical space and make your home seem cleaner than it is (and it makes your space seem bigger as well). Plus, if you put bins or baskets on those shelves to store items it makes cleaning countertops and floors much easier and quicker. My husband & I decided not to use a cleaning service because 1) we can put that money toward paying something else. 2) we didn’t want our son to grow up thinking that’s how life is... you make a mess & pay someone else to clean it. We want to create and establish a habit within him to always clean up and he may not have the funds to hire a cleaning service later in his life. But, maybe, later we might change our minds and hire a cleaning crew...like when he goes off to college hehe.🙂

[@krystalgodwin2513]

For stain removal I use one of the portable carpet cleaners and omg I’ve used it a million times on our throw rugs and the couch it’s soo awesome to get the stains out and keeping the rugs and furniture looking nice 😊

[@serena3194]

please do a to organising video and things you teach your kids (discipline or something like taking shoes off etc) :D

[@way108]

Ah the thing with kids eating snacks and placing their hands on furniture is so painful as a mom but so true 😭 thanks for being real. And I realised also that sometimes kids forget to not do that and kids grown up too fast. As long as the house isn't outta control a few old stains here and there doesn't make anyone less of a parent. 😊💕 sorry for the long rant 😬

[@adriannavanoyen]

Team "no shoes in the house"! My family's originally from Canada but moved to California where it's a foreign concept, honestly in the US I think anyone with snow understands not wearing shoes in the house.

[@christinas6528]

Thank you, I love these tips!! My son LOVES drinking the bathwater & it drives me crazy.

[@veronicaivanova]

I am not a mum but I totally agree about having a cleaning lady. We have a lady coming once a month and that's just enough!

[@alllimichmiller]

I always hated the no shoe in the house rule when I was growing up. None of my friends houses had that rule and so it was such a chore when going from in and out to keep taking off and putting on your shoes. But now as an adult with my own house it is a must. If nothing else, it keeps from staining your carpet. No shoes! My daughter is ALWAYS drinking that dang bath water! It’s so gross but she laughs and loves it. Love the tip about washing toys in the dishwasher. Do you run the dishwasher with dish liquid or run it just as hot water? I know the water is so hot it will sanitize it technically, but just was wondering which you do.

[@lixettaBo]

We never use shoes in our house but when I ask people to take them off sometimes they look at me like if I asked them to take the pants off!!! We always took them off but especially in a house with carpet and kids seems absolutely the first thing to do to me.

[@cleanslatekate6367]

My latest thing is cleaning the upstairs bathroom while the kids are bathing. I don’t like to leave them alone so instead of sitting on my phone in the bathroom for 30mins doing nothing I clean what can! It’s actually been kind of life changing because that family bathroom gets bad fast!

[@AshleighMathlyn]

Great and helpful video! I’m 35 weeks so close to the end.

[@barbaravyse660]

I never had kids but I’ve got two big cats who are super messy! I’m going to look into that robo vacuum. I tried the original one when it first came out but it would bump into my furniture really hard, so I returned it.

[@pirithecute3562]

Hacks and products, just need my popcorn and I am set.

[@shirleyklose9214]

Cleaning lady helps so much. My house feels so much cleaner and it smells good!

[@beautyguru4you1]

My tip is clean when your kiddie naps! I clean for an hour every day when he goes down the other hour I have me time (16 month old son) and it eliminates having to do a big clean because you keep up with things daily. Do the floors glass mirrors and surfaces and laundry/dishes. lol it’s therapeutic once you have a routine down and using natural products that smell nice is a plus 😅

[@bglr2783]

Useful tips 👍

[@Missmimi6733]

[@kaushikisnest3953]

Your videos are always helpful to me as I can really relate to it :) Me an Indian too

[@MrsWill-wd3mb]

I don't fill my son's bath. I run the water and just dump water over him from a cup. He loves to drink from the cup too BUT the only thing it's really touched is running water! He also loves playing with the stream, there's less drowning risk, and it inevitably saves water.

[@fernandasolismartin6503]

In Canada we do no shoes always! When I came I thought it was kinda of annoying but I am so use to it now, also it gives you a cozy feeling even in other people houses, does that make sense?

[@baldspot97]

My daughter is the same way!! Always drinking the bath water 🤦🏻‍♀️ she will not stop!

[@aintitso]

Do you use the same laundry detergent for our children's clothes? If so what do you use/recommend?

[@AnaMalecki]

Love all the tips. Any recommends that for dusting that are more eco friendly?

[@beautyguru4you1]

Use a moist rag! With essential oils if ur into scents. Collects dust easy and u can throw the rag in the wash or hand wash and let dry afterwards

[@dianegreiner4054]

For me, I would never use dryer sheets because I'm allergic to them (eyes swell right up). I would be wary of this tip because I'm sure I'm not the only one out there reacting to them.

[@dolsiemercado3140]

You can get Stanley Steamer to come over steam the stains out let it dry. Then spray it down with upholstery stain resistance and let that dry. Take a vacation right after 7 to 14 days. Use folding chairs that come with a cushion attach to it already for the meantime.

[@lailakhan9410]

Loved ur tips specially the one to get a nanny twice a month to just give some peace of mind

[@dianegreiner4054]

[@Loramend]

We hired help to clean our apartment two years ago when we started IVF and I felt like I couldnt catch-up with working full time outside of home, 3h daily commute and how IVF made me feel. She was coming once a month to help with kitchen, bathrooms and other tasks. Then my husband complained (It seems like he thinks working from home without commute is the same as what I deal with on the daily and thinks IVF is too harsh on the man- ha!) so two years forward, now she comes twice a month and this saves as fights on many things. Still, the house is cleaner when we do it but anyway help never hurts.

[@jvmartin8828]

Puracy stain remover is great!

[@gingerl3146]

Yes to no shoes! Totally grosses me out 😝. It can be awkward to ask people to remove their shoes, but to me that outweighs what germs the shoes will be tracking in.

[@ThePurpleBass]

[@amybriones1623]

Does anyone have any tips on a spray for the bath, bath toys, bath mat. That I can just spray and not scrub off. Something I can use every night to just help with with mold and stuff?

[@ashleyspiano]

I'm from the midwest and we never have shoes on inside. It might be less of an American thing and more Californian... haha idk. I just think it's strange it's a stereotype because I don't know anyone who does it

[@EmorettaRobinson]

I'm from Florida and I don't like to wear shoes in my home either. I was told at first that it was an Asian thing. Which I found odd because I'm black and have never been to Asia. Lol. I think it's more of a personal preference.

[@ItsAshley08]

YES on taking off the shoes at the door! I get annoyed when I ask people to take off their shoes and they don't listen. It is really gross and dirty the stuff shoes carry in peoples houses. My grandma married a Chinese man, and she was also a clean freak, so the shoe policy is something my mom, sister and I all do in our houses.

[@1zeldarulez]

i didnt know people actually wore their shoes in the house until i met my bf from america and i was so surprised when he told me people actually do that shit like why dirty your floors everyday???? in canada not many people wear shoes in the house

[@staceylangley5291]

How do you recommend finding a cleaning lady? Someone you can trust

[@lailakhan9410]

Will really do that for my own self so later works r done I will get me time once kids go to bed

[@Komerican10]

No shoes in the house is a cardinal rule in my home. My in laws gave me and my hubby such a hard time about this rule. My FIL was like “Oh you can’t win on that rule?” Really? What’s wrong with keeping a clean house?? Plus whenever I have visited their home, and would automatically take off my shoes, my clean white socks would be BLACK from the dirt! They don’t clean as much as they should. Since they don’t like the rule in my house, they don’t need to come over lol 😂

[@diverstalent]

Hi Susan, thanks! Could you please add timestamps? Thank you, Sousan

[@Juliyakay]

Walking around with shoes in the house is so dirty. I judge hardcore when I see this. I was born in Latvia and moving to the US made me realize it's like an American thing lol.

[@emmarose1136]

the problem with cleaning lady, which she ackmowledged as well, is its still you who needs to put things away. all cleaning ladies do is clean the space literally but they wont organise your stuff. organjsing stuff is much harder. if everything is organjsed, first, house looks clean already and all u need to do is sweep and/or mop and wipe surfaces and its so easy to do that when the house is uncluttered - no need for a cleaning lady if house is tidy. the tidying part is harder than actually cleaning. cleaning ladies clean, they dont tidy up.

at work? at childcare? they behave differently there. and remember, the facility at childcare is not the same as a house. it is set up specifically so that every corner has a place for the children. in he house , we try to do that too but of course theres lapses here and there. it is not perfect. kids are nor perfectly mature enough. even our own spouses make mess too. even we do too! do u have kids of your own hilla? those that actually live in your house?
