I have been having health issues off and on for the last 3 years, so establishing a cleaning routine has been my challenge. When you make the bed completely, it looks SO much better. Then, gather and wash all the dishes and put them away; I've heard people call that "completing the cycle." Next, pick up all the clutter. If it is not decorative or functional in its current location, PUT IT AWAY. I noticed that if the clutter was gone, it made the room look clean even if the surfaces hadn't been washed. Finally, gather, wash, dry, fold, fold, and put away the laundry. Again, you have to complete the cycle. The laundry can run in the background, but I have to set a timer, so it is not forgotten. If I do this and put in dryer sheets, my laundry won't smell "fried." Another cycle to complete is unload groceries, put it all away, and fold your grocery bags. This makes things ready for the next shopping trip. Sorry for this rant, but it's mainly for me. If anyone else needs it, I'm glad it's helpful.

[@marjorieorveau6707]

@karenrich9092 I agree, my motto which I was brought up with is; If a job's worth doing, it's worth doing well.

[@rebeccahorwitz6855]

We just stayed in a beautiful bed and breakfast, and yes, they had folded toilet paper. I can't lie, I was impressed. It's been a long time since I've seen that and I think it's a nice touch. I wouldn't go to the trouble myself, but as a guest, I did appreciate it.

[@jennifergudelis9851]

In Japan, people do this in their own home, and even public toilets

[@Sunshine-fy4fz]

I have been making a triangle fold on my toilet paper (and any place where I’ve used the bathroom, friend’s house, at work, a public toilet…) ever since I got back from my honeymoon. Thought it upscaled the bathroom and was so simple to do, I can’t leave a bathroom without folding the toilet paper into a triangle ❤

[@allsquaredup9717]

I love when the TP says "Welcome, you're special, have a seat." 😜

[@sharonolson2222]

Great video! I have to say that I do like the folded toilet paper and I usually do that in my home to the extra toilet paper that I keep in a basket. I realize that means I have touched it but I never even thought that it might bother some people. I touched a lot of things, pretty much everything I put in there and around my home. 😅 I guess if someone doesn’t want to use the sheet of toilet paper that I folded, feel free to rip it off and use the next ones.

[@kb1236]

You touch it anyway when you put it on the holder. Also you touch it when you pull your piece off.

[@IsabellaImpkin]

Thanks for the tips. We sold our house in 2022 and I watched a ton of home staging videos to get the house ready for showing. We’re in our new house now but I still use some of the staging ideas to make my new house look nice.

[@theresabrown1272]

What was your favorite tip??

[@corinnecowper1339]

I'm with you on the toilet paper issue. Love the tips you've provided to go to 110% on the house appearance.

[@arizonashopper5095]

I agree with these tips! When you become clutter blind, in addition to asking a friend with a stylish house for their opinion, you can do a really simple thing. Take a photo or 2. When you look at a photo, it's harder to overlook the oversized furniture or clutter in the corner.

[@jennifergudelis9851]

Yes! Especially the kitchen counters and the living/family rooms

[@lanahundley8625]

Photos always work for me. 😊

[@caroann]

This was a BIG help….just simple common sense, but, easy to overlook.

[@cynthiao731]

Thank you so much for the cleaning videos. You have inspired and motivated me to clean my house in a way that I can finally maintain it. Your tips on cleaning the glass shower door are truly amazing. I never knew how to effectively clean them until I came across your tips. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! 🎉🎉❤❤❤

[@lynnette30]

The bed is pretty with all the pillows but then at night I have to take them all off and throw them on the floor, then place them all back on the bed in the morning after making it. I don’t have time for that. I get up early and leave for work before daylight. Just too much work for me. But on the other hand the rest of these tips are great!!

[@suziemiller6712]

I love this video. Great ideas!

[@AdilChoudhury800]

Really 😅

[@rachelleblanc6955]

You should open curtains or turn on the lights so it's really nice and light. I would put vanilla in a small pot and boil it before the open house so when they come in the nice vanilla smell is nice. Or if it's summer open the windows let the fresh air come in. I would also set up the table it looks great and inviting. Just ideas.

[@JohnSRostash]

This was very informative! I'll use a lot of these tips! 👏👏👏

[@ThankfulNanaDiane]

Years ago, my daughter had a friend sleep over. When she was getting ready to take a shower & came to me with, “I can’t tell which are the towels & which are the rags,” I knew it was past time for some new towels! As for the folded TP, I’m indifferent. I know it’s supposed to say, “This bathroom has been cleaned,” but anyone can fold a piece of toilet paper without actually cleaning the bathroom!

[@theresabrown1272]

As for her comment … ouch !

[@therealjenniferrr]

I agree with straightening the pillows, but controversial... I think the karate chop look looks stupid. 😆

[@kb1236]

The karate chop is also outdated

[@novanorman1091]

Re toilet paper .. A point is good. It looks like the cleaners did a neat. I do rip it off too!! How funny!

[@cathyjoy9214]

As long as there is toilet paper there, I'm fine. The whole fold point bit doesn't impress me but it does impress many others

[@virginiaseidita546]

[@pippa3150]

I think the folded tp shows care has been taken to clean a bathroom well. I like to see it that way. Just a random, ripped off piece makes me think the bathroom hasn't been cleaned properly. Easy enough to just tear that part off and toss it if you don't want to use it.

[@melissachoate6543]

I like the folded toilet paper 😂 It makes me feel like the bathroom is freshly cleaned.

[@dmweisbr]

In all my 70+ years it’s never occurred to me to worry that someone might have touched my toilet paper, lol. In fact, I’d hazard a guess that if it’s on a holder, it has been touched by someone. There’s no way to unwrap and put TP into a holder without touching it. As long as it’s dry and looks clean, with no signs of having been wet, I wouldn’t worry about it, unless you’re immune compromised, in which case maybe you should carry your own supply.

[@rachaelbruesch6306]

When we sold our home, we were told to pack up at least 1/3 of our stuff & family photos. I also had an essential oil vaporizer to lightly scent the air.

[@MyCrownstar]

I'm preparing to sell my home and my realtor told me to rent a storage unit and declutter 1/2 my house because I just have so much and live in a small home. I agreed with het, besides less to pack when it sells.

[@littlebungalowinthewoods858]

We just sold our home. I consider myself a minimalist-but started selling some furniture I didn’t want to move. I was shocked how much better the rooms looked with less furniture (I hadn’t thought they were too full.) I also found that taking down “small” photos from a wall really made the space feel larger. If you picture a show home-there are never any small pictures or photos hanging-only a few large ones.

[@janaewulff6987]

I do like making a "seal" on my TP, live alone so it doesn't bother anyone. I do the bathroom faucet trick which makes the roll look surprisingly classy in my little hole in the wall apt. Hey, it's those little things in life, right?! 😊

[@christie6488]

I feel that if someone takes the time to make toilet paper nice, then they have taken care of the rest of the bathroom, so it’s a bit psychological. :)

Some great tips!!! Thank you! I’ve never seen the point of doing fancy folding on toilet paper! But then again I’ve also never seen the point of extra pillows on the bed if they are just going to be chucked on the floor at night. I don’t see the point of them just looking pretty during the day when no one is even using the room! Haha. Maybe if I was selling the house and having photos taken, I might do it, but I wouldn’t bother for friends or family.

I think folded toilet paper looks fancy or spa like.

[@woodenkat8971]

So as long as the t paper is dry and i have no broken skin where it will be applied, i do not care. Im not immuno compromised so it makes very little difference to me if someone touched it. I do have issues if it looks like it got wet. That is a no. But just folded? Not something i worry about.

Don't you dare touch my TP! But that Karate thing for the pillow is a topic German comedians have been making fun of for at least the last 40 years. Just like doilies on the armchair or a crocheted cover for the TP. 😵‍💫

How do you hang bath towels to dry after using them?

[@juliebrooke6099]

On a towel rail obviously. In the U.K. it will be above the radiator or you might have a heated towel rail instead of a radiator.

[@FatimaNoor19739]

@ good to know. I was thinking two hooks since I’m so limited on space in the bathroom and 2 of us use this bathroom. Thanks for the comment back! 👍

[@juliebrooke6099]

@ ,a rail is better than a hook if you have wall space because you can spread the towels out better.

[@kb1236]

On a towel warming bar, they dry quickly.

I never fold toilet paper into a point at home, but sometimes I do it in public restrooms -especially the grungier ones.

I'm not into the fancy tp folding. I do like it when I'm checking into a hotel and it's folded to a point. Makes me feel like they cleaned the room, and didn't just run in there to take a nap, go potty, or something more exciting 😂 But in someone's house, I mean they live there.

Great tips but I don’t care if someone has just put a new hand towel in their bathroom or loo, as I refuse to wipe my hands on other people’s hand towels. They’re nearly always damp as other people have used them. Totally unhygienic. I’d rather just use loo roll. Speaking of loo roll/paper I really thought that arranging it in a fancy way was just a joke. I’ve never actually seen that. I never entertain. Too posh for me. Years ago if we did have someone round for a meal we just called it tea, rather than dinner. Sounds much more relaxing.
