Clean with me! | My Weekly Home Blessing Cleaning Routine

[@tiffanybrantley23]

I didn't realize this timer technique was a thing! It's a tool I've used anytime I am feeling overwhelmed or unmotivated to clean my house. I usually set my watch for 10 minutes and say, "let's just see what we can accomplish in 10 minutes" and then when I hit that goal, I have realized that the task of cleaning up isn't as overwhelming as I had expected it to be and am on a roll and just keep going. Thanks for sharing!

[@dachsymom5232]

Fun fact. Flylady adopted her system (with blessing) from "The Sidetracked Housewives". A book from late 70's early 80's I think. Old copies can often be found on Ebay. I've used a version of it for decades. As an empty nester I now do 5-10 minutes in every room every day. For me its 30 minutes before I go to work. I zone clean once a week for about an hour or two and I now feel like I always have a clean home.

[@chrisgogreve8743]

I love the fact that you refer to it as a home blessing!! I have done something similar for years but never thought to call it a home blessing. I think I called it a lick and a promise. I prefer the home blessing!!❤❤❤

[@marystilwell9312]

Growing up on a farm it seems like chores are everywhere but my mother always insisted, once we were old enough, that as soon as breakfast was done on Saturday morning we did four things. We changed the sheets on our bed and made it with clean ones, we put away any toys or items etc to where they belonged, we picked up any clothes from off our bedroom floors and brought the dirty to the laundry room and we swept or vacuumed our rooms. Once we were done she would inspect and then if we passed we got to watch cartoons or go play or what ever. You learned really quick how to do it all in the least amount of time because who ever was done first got to pick the first cartoon! On the 1st Saturday of the month she added dusting our room to our list. It taught us to keep our toys etc picked up through out the week as to not have to take much time on Saturday! Once a month we would all wash our bedroom windows. And 3 times a year we all helped wash the outside of the windows. Looking back, it was good lessons for organizing and “clean as you go” routine.

What a wonderful way to change up the chore of cleaning your home!! 🌞 It is a blessing that we have a home to clean and be safe!! 🤍🙏💖

[@MyStyleMyHome]

Going against the timer is fun because it actually keeps you on your toes. Weekly reset definitely good so you are able to stay on top of things. Good tip Amy

[@Madagaskar1987]

I am so happy to find your channel. It is so calming and inspiring. You are very kind person with beautiful heart. I feel so greatfull to be part of this community ❤️ Blessings from Poland ❤

[@patriotremnant857]

Love this….I’ve “ timed “ myself for years and glad to know I’m not alone😁

[@angeloverturff3826]

I've been a FlyBaby since 2013 and it has changed the way I take care of my home and order my days. I would highly recommend to all homemakers!

[@joanndelise7292]

Cleaning is something we all have to do and its never-ending. This sounds like a great idea and will help motivate me. I do clean but sometimes feel overwhelmed, setting 10 minutes is helpful. Amy you are so sweet and inspire me. Have a blessed day.

[@FancyThatwithCandice]

This is SO good!!!! I can’t wait to Incorporate this into my weekly routine! Also, every time I come to your channel, I feel like I’m visiting a charming coffee shop. Your home has the sweetest vibe!

[@tammyallen7471]

I found the Fly Lady years ago and got her book. This was a great video! Even before Fly Lady I would set my timer. I love racing the clock.

[@mt1885]

hey girl- Great tips!! I like to clean every week - Dust, vacuum, Clean bathrooms, mirrors and pictures. But everyday a little at a time. Clean as I go most of the time😉 Keep things picked up and put away. I like things tidy and organized😀

[@AmyFritz]

Thank you😊

[@sharonrose2963]

Amy, you are just a ray of sunshine! I'm a bit older and deal with health issues, but this feels like something I can accomplish. Thank you for sharing yourself and your cozy home. Much love.

[@tammylewis6296]

I set timers too for cleaning and when I'm on the computer--very helpful. I love and do enjoy keeping our farmhouse clean and clutter free for my precious family. Great tips! Your family is very blessed by all you do!

[@ardithcassell2560]

I tried this today. First I shouldn’t have showered before! We have a 3 level house so I just worked upstairs in the bedrooms, 4 rooms and 2 baths. I got a lot done but I was wiped out and didn’t mop. It felt good to accomplish so much.

[@debbiemize2269]

I, too, follow the FlyLady system! Well, I sometimes follow her system. It does really help to have a neat and tidy home. The routines are what have helped me the most! Thanks for sharing this with us!♥️

[@angelavarney6272]

I love the fly lady!! Have followed her for years and her inspiration has blessed me and my home❤️ don't not live in CHAOS...can't have anyone over syndrome 😆🤩🤩

[@lisanieves2792]

I love that you call this a weekly home blessing. Thank you for sharing. ❤️

[@AnitasDreams]

Amy that is a great idea to name it a Home Blessing. It changes your mindset. Happy Fall

[@angelaturner8722]

Beautifully done all of that in one hour!! I never heard of the fly lady but this sounds like a great tip to get things done. Thank you! Have a great weekend!

[@beckyriggs1869]

Thank you for your wise words, and I could not agree more, There is no place like HOME! And I won't be happy until I have your house and all of your stuff!! Love everything you have done!!!!😁❤️😁

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Great cleaning tips! I am thankful for the reminder to do this. I used to zip through my house on Sunday evenings and get things picked up as my kids were taking baths. I could move around the house pretty quickly while checking on their nighttime routine of bathing and getting ready for bed. My kids are grown and gone and I've let this habit go by the wayside. So your video was. great reminder! Thanks!

[@NTHEPAGES]

Your home is so beautifully decorated!

[@debbrajsligar]

I used to do Flylady back in the day. Thank you for the reminder. We share the same mindset about cleaning & I feel motivated again. Doesn't feel so overwhelming now. Love your sweet home 🏡

[@sunflowerbrown5823]

This is what I do each week as well. Now I've got a new name for it and a new perspective! Thank you!

[@denisevalentemcgee4802]

Having a business that is quite demanding of my time and energy, I have no issue with cleaning. I only have one actual day off day off so I guess I just do it as I don't feel I have much of a choice. LOL . I actually like to take my time and clean my home. I find it therapeutic. There's something great about seeing a clean home. I guess I don't want to feel rushed.....I feel that every day at work. I like to take my time and do a really good job. One Sunday,I will usually clean the main rooms from dusting, to vacuuming, to cleaning the mirrors etc. The following Sunday, I will tackle the other 4 bedrooms (one office, one exercise room, 2 bedrooms0. The bathrooms will get cleaned too. Cleaning has just never been something I needed to get motivated to do. My business is the same. I do a good portion of the cleaning there too. I find, if you keep up with cleaning on. a regular basis, it's never really a chore.

[@chanelle7484]

I need to try this! Struggling to keep up with stuff lately, life has just been so wild! I would love to hear more about this and how it’s helping you in the future💛

[@debihallowell2061]

I truly love this simplistic approach to keeping things tidied up. Thank you for sharing.

[@ThisMamasHouse]

Loved this video. I’ve been doing the fly lady daily routines and daily focus but I’ve struggled with the home blessing 😣 I’ve been saying “done is better than perfect” to myself as I go and it helps!

[@Sarah_Kilmer]

I love the idea of blessing your home, it makes cleaning more enjoyable. My husband is out of town so I plan on spending the weekend doing a huge deep cleaning so things are done before winter sets in & thanksgiving & Christmas are here 😊

[@jessicaedwards8784]

You’re adorable Amy, and how you created your home-sooo stunning! Love this, I can’t wait to get started on my home blessing! So often I get bogged down with where to start and since I’ve got two littles at home I like the direction of 10 mins for each task. Thanks!

[@miriamrodriguez6892]

Love the 10 minute cleaning ❤❤❤

[@darcelweiss528]

Hi Amy, I too use Flylady. I have been following her since 2003. When life starts getting crazy I get back to basics like washing my sink and putting on my tennis shoes. Blessings to you and your family.

[@Tygres55]

I love this technique, I will be using it. Thanks Amy ❤

[@amandacurry7652]

I have been watching you for about 2 years and love your videos. The funny thing is I just found the Fly Lady last week and I have been loving it and it’s really helping me! So glad you did a video on this!

[@danireeves8717]

I love FlyLady (altho I just do a hack, her amazing site is too overwhelming for me). Home Blessing Hour of common areas on Mondays and I made a list of each zone and the tasks I need to do in those areas/rooms each week. I've been "racing the clock" since I was a kid... it's sooo motivating. I have the blue glass spray bottles from Amazon... GLASS/WINDOWS: equal parts rubbing alcohol and water ALL PURPOSE CLEANER: 1 1/2 cup water 1/2 tsp dish soap 10 drops essential oils I use bergamot because it's safe for my cats and smells citrus-y.

[@shellslaraine9295]

Lol I thought #6 said nap! 🤣 I have used this tool to help me get things done or if I am rushed for time , but still want to get a few things done, I even use it for gardening chores. Set the timer on my phone and off I go.

[@lauramitchell6725]

Let’s change #6 to nap!👍

Haha yes! 10 minute nap sounds great! 😂

This is great! But what about the other spaces you do not reach in the 10 minutes that week? Do you start with them the following week? Especially if you have a big house...

[@shadreese7632]

Grateful for the video, however with having a golden retriever sweeping two times a day is a high priority, lol! We live on a farm and deep clean 1x a month, with a Murphy’s bucket of soap water and all the children have their own places to clean then each weekend it’s the Home blessing however it lasts four hours because I’m doing laundry as well but it’s important that we’re keepers and guardians of our homes to keep the stress low and character high. Great job Amy🤍

Hi Amy ---I received a message today that appears to be from your channel stating to contact you on Telegram that I won a gift. I don't think so & am concerned it is a scammer. So much of that is going on YT & such a shame. I did not do what the email requested.
