DAILY CLEANING ROUTINE | HOW TO ZONE CLEAN | My Intentional Life

[@cathyleegrantham-schreifel7269]

Exactly! I rarely have messes to clean that take more than 10-15 minutes every night after everyone goes to bed. We all get to wake up to a clean house. It’s very peaceful. I dedicate Fridays to laundry, weekly meal prepping and a thorough house cleaning so I can enjoy family on weekends. I have more free time on weekdays with friends, church, etc.

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

Doesn't it feel amazing to have that little bit of peace. It sounds like you have it all under good control. Have a wonderful day.

[@dawnlanni5195]

Loved this! 💖 Just a quick tip... You shouldn't spray any cleaner, (even vinegar) on your mirrors, just spray the rag. It eventually will ruin the mirror, ever wonder why some edges of the mirror are messed up? Hope this helps even one person 🙂

[@BettyAnn320]

Dawn Lanni yesss, happened to me too

[@Jennamacallarnold]

This video has been so inspiring! I am a stay at home mother of three boys, and pregnant with baby number 4. Cleaning and organization has always been my therapy and passion. But it's seems to have gotten away from me in our home and I am ready to tackle it each day a little at a time. I have been looking at many different blogs, Printables, ect and this has by far been the most visual and helpful! Thanks so much! Also, your home is absolutely beautiful! I will definitely be continuing to watch and follow your videos!

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

Thank you J. Macall for your kind words. I can totally relate to your cleaning is therapy comment. I hope that my videos will help you get to a place of calm in your home so that you can spend intentional time with those sweet babies. Congratulations on the new little one.

[@jennifercrowell6719]

I would LOVE to see a detailed video of how you built you cleaning binder. It looks so detailed and pretty!

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

Hi Jennifer. I can do a more detailed video after Vlogmas by in the meantime, I did an update on my Zone cleaning, since we moved, in my recent planner video that shows a more 'travel' version of my cleaning schedule. You may want to check that out. Have a wonderful day!

[@meriday5719]

Thank you. Your cleanliness is an inspiration. Thanks for sharing what works for you. I'll be trying them out too.

Just found your videos and subscribed! You had me when the dogs were jumping on your pillows you just fluffed and walked across your floor you just cleaned! I have been trying to find a zone cleaning video that wasn't complicated and fast talking and yours is perfect! I'm going on 58 and need a routine that will help me keep my house cleaned and you have helped! Have a happy, blessed day.............Mary

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

Yes Mary, our dogs are our second set of children. I am glad that you are enjoying the videos. I am a very organized person but do not appreciate a lot of 'senseless' steps. I want my channel to provide people with practical ways to organize and set up their lives for peaceful success. I hope you will continue to be a part of our intentional community. Have a great week!

Thank, just tidied my bedroom listening to this, how didn’t I ever think of using the timer on my dishwasher and washing machine before now!!

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

Amanda, it takes a village to raise an adult. Haha! That is why I love KZbin... it helps us find new ways of doing things that we never thought of before. Thanks for watching.

[@Tiffshouse]

Just found your channel and subscribed! I also live in Colorado, springs. I have the same washer/dryer (love them) and do the same thing you do, set the timer for the wash to start in the morning, one less thing to do in the morning! I follow the flylady so my day looks a lot like yours, with a few changes

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

Hi Tiff! Thank you for joining our community. Yes, I love the timer option. It makes laundry so much easier. Have a great rest of your week.

[@kaymack5304]

I'm wondering what brand of sheets you have that actually fit the beds well enough to tuck in? For our king size bed I order an oversized flat sheet, blanket, and spread, but my kids beds still have top sheets that are so skimpy you can't tuck in along the side. Same with their blankets. Thank you for motivating me today!

[@webbfamilyau]

Have you shared the actual lists that you composed so we can download them? I am new to this and to see the jobs laid out/broken down into little jobs for each day looks very helpful. Thank you for sharing.

[@christaalbrecht67]

Love your house and the well-made videos. Just a tiny tip: the music is louder than your voice, which is distracting. And a question: what brand of floor sweeper do you use? If you mentioned it, I think I missed it. Thanks in advance!

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

Hi Christa. Hmm, I haven't ever noticed that when editing my videos. When music is playing, I am not talking...at least that's how it is supposed to be. Is there a video in particular that you share with me as an example so that I can check out what you mean. Here is the link for the vacuum cleaner. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005KMDV9A/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[@chasitypatrick7570]

My intentional life : I think what she was saying is that you talk soft, which is not a bad thing at all, so I turn my volume up to hear your voice and then when the music comes on, it is much louder than you were talking and so it’s just kind of loud all of the sudden. I didn’t mean to be rude in any way at all. I hope this didn’t offend you because I love your channel. 😍 I really love your zone cleaning. I’m a new subscriber and I can’t wait to see what else you put on your channel :) You have a gorgeous home and you take care of it beautifully!

[@lisahinckley9359]

I recently subscribed to you for additional motivation. Your system reminds me of “The Fly Lady” system. Zone cleaning doing a little something everyday. I’m just curious have you always been this organized? You have a beautiful home your decorating taste is really classy yet comfortable looking. Thank you for sharing.

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

Hi Lisa. Yes, I have always been like this. My family and friends refer to it as "the sickness". haha! I have heard of the Fly Lady but have never taken the time to research her ways. I will have to do that some time. Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to comment. Have a wonderful day.

[@NanaPapa123]

I laugh at the title of your channel. I think you may be right, a lot of people just do things by accident. I am one of three "accidental" babies my parents had back in the day, lol! You keep a lovely home, but you know, I have to say this - people who drop in on you are not being nice or polite, they are being selfish. When we didn't have telephones, a dropping in situation was understandable. These days though, how do you know when you are rude enough to "drop by" that that person is feeling well or not? Maybe they are trying to spend special time with their child and have been so busy and you ruin that precious moment? Maybe their husband took a day off and they were trying to have a little "couple time" and yep, because you were bored and had no manners, you messed that up as well. How about kiddos are sick, she finally got them to take a nap and a jerk like you has to ring the doorbell? Message first or better yet, wait to be invited over, then you know you are welcome. Not everyone is just dying to have someone drop in on them. I love planned for guests, love them and sorry, we both work harder than most can imagine otherwise and don't need people adding to my work with no consideration to the day.

Thank you for your kind words. I was introduced to the Fly lady method about 10 years ago and just made it work for me, therefore, I don't do it quite exactly how she does it. I haven't heard of Diane in Denmark. I will certainly have to look her up. Thanks for the tip! Have a great day!! Wales is on my bucket list by the way. :-)

[@margaretsofocleous8137]

@@MelissaHuenergardt Diane is such fun . My husband is very disabled after a major stroke and needs a lot of nursing so I spend a lot of days at home in the winter. I,m not complaining because I have a support worker who sits with my husband for a few hours twice a week. I count my blessings . I probably spend too much time looking at cleaning videos but if I, m selective I find it very motivating. Your channel has been very positive for me. I like the house you are in now but I thought your Colorado house was stunning. It must be quite difficult moving so often but then I am 63 years old. We moved from a bigger property so l let some things go but I am in the process of massively decluttering and yesterday decluttered a bag full of legal papers which are so old they are no longer relevant. I had to look at everything closely then I shredded them by hand. It is not fair to leave these things for our children to sort out if anything should happen to me . I got rid of 4 coffee sets and many books last week but I,m really in the kitchen zone next week. Thank you so much for taking the time to reply . I hope you get the chance to visit Wales. Check the weather forecast beforehand. We see a lot of rain. Love from Margaret in Wales
