I totally agree with all your wise smart ideas rising and setting wit a clean house really makes life easier. I am guilty of clutter. Being a classroom teacher, it's hard to the classroom setting behind . Every chance I get I teach; learning materials for children, grandchildren and self.

What really helps the best is to be in a constant state of cleaning. There are so many small things you can do throughout the day and it makes a huge difference. What is also VERY important is your point of giving yourself grace. I used to be a clean freak, but eventually I got two cats. Cleaning started to stress me out and everytime I saw something getting dirty, it just gave me anxiety. It's basically the same with kids. And even when you don't have any pets and/or kids, you should realise that your house is NEVER perfectly clean. And even if it is, it will be dirty 5min later :) I see it as driving a new car out of the garage. The moment you drive off the car already lost so much in value. Accepting that your house doesn't have to be perfectly clean really helped me.

[@unitedheartsamerica5924]

Many of us women are having to do too many jobs. Another group of us are single parents with little family support.. back in the day, we had closer family members living close that would help.. its all different now!! I fell into the “messy hole” when i had to let go of things in order to survive.. Full time work, son in school, manage a house, and then i got hit with lyme disease. So that was 5 years ago. I lost a year but then started getting better.. but havent gotten to 100%. But the messy became crazy, and so I am trying to get back to the formerly organized self!! So heres what I concluded: We cant be our mothers- we have to be ourselves in our situations! So start slow. Anywhere. Alot of the battle is mental. Be honest with yourself! What are the weaknesses? Decide you are going to be different. I also recommend watching minimalism videos.. It will give you ideas - not that you want to be a hard core minimalist- just let the videos give you inspiration.! 1 Drawer at a time, one chore at a time.. and learn to delegate ... good luck! And dont give up!! 💕

To the very pregnant lady who got up at 6AM and wants to "get to it" . Over my 77 years I've noticed that anywhere from 3 days to hours before the birth of a child, an extremely oddball burst of energy will come. Don't waste it on cleaning the fridge or garage. I have to think it's there for what you're about to accomplish with your body. Has anyone else noticed this " I think I can paint the house today " then tired for weeks when baby comes? I mean, more than a regular sleep interupted tired.🤪🥰

Love these tips I’m a mom of three and my youngest is 2 going on 3 and it’s tuff keeping the house clean. I get so frustrated and no matter how many times I try to organize it my kids mess it back up. It’s depressing and I believe that’s another reason why I’m not on top of things. All the clutter defeats me but the good thing is I wanna change my habits and do better. Me being unorganized and messy is playing a big part in my depression. so glad I found this Chanel

[@theresabrown1272]

Just do your best ! I raised 3 children and i understand ! Maybe just focus on keeping the kitchen, bathrooms, and entryway clean. If u have time you can do more but just focus on what you can control! And your children will grow and things get easier as they become more independent! I wish I had given my children more chores and lessons in cleaning ! Have yours put their toys in baskets before bed.

[@teenaidoo8569]

Relax n injoy your kids. Do your best n be happy. Before u know it your kids will be all grown up n out the house, u will have a perfect empty house and that will depress you. Now is the best time of your life. Enjoy this time. Lots of Love. ❤

[@meggarstang6761]

My niece called me in tears one day because she couldn't keep her little son's room clean and the mess made it hard for him to play there. She said she felt like a bad mother. I explained that the toy storage solutions in his room weren't working for the way her boy lived his life - the recurring mess was proof. I researched toy storage ideas and hacks and we swapped out his storage system for something more appropriate. You'll know when your system works when the room is easy to tidy and never gets overwhelmingly messy. Our new solution worked so well - now he can put his own toys away and put the room in order in under 15 minutes, no matter how big the mess. She loves his room now and her son is learning how to manage his own messes. Valuable life lesson! I wish I were your neighbor so I could come over and help you conquer your clutter. I love big messes like kids love Disneyland! You go pour yourself a cup of coffee and find a comfy spot while I sort and organize with your guidance from your perch. 🤗

[@lisaalwaysandforever]

Fab video!! Tips that help me are: When kids are playing, only one or two toys or baskets out at a time, when finished it goes away before the next toy or basket comes out. If you live in a small space with lack of storage like I do, minimalist style living works. Having what you actually need and not doubles or triples of things means less clutter to find places for! Writing lists!! I write small daily lists of what I would like to clean or organise and it feels amazing when I can tick it off and really motivates me for keeping the house in order ☺️

Emily Just to say thanks so much for your entertaining and lively videos and I feel so much better having watched them. I now “clean as I go” and have delegated all glassware cleaning to my husband who objects to the smeary result I got while using a glass cleaner!!! To paraphrase Shirley Conran “always press a willing critic into service,” so glassware is now his remit: mirrors and bathroom cabinets a speciality. I look forward to the gleaming results. I am now fired up to reorganise the kitchen cupboards today as when I got up to do breakfast I discovered I’d run out of my usual tea but after much scrabble and panic so early in the day I found a perfectly acceptable substitute of which I was previously unaware. No all the “normal” teas will be in the kitchen in the cupboard over the kettle and the others like Rooibos and Earl Grey for example will live in the utility room store cupboard. Simple change but obvious really and I’m also gearing up to face the Himalayan pile of ironing that threatens to ambush me whenever I approach it. I’ll just get on with it instead. Thanks so much for your inspiration and look forward to seeing your other videos when housework just swamps everything. By the way, I also enjoy cleaning to heavy rock music bouncing off the walls but the house has to be empty first. Are you in the UK or USA as I wasn’t sure? Thanks again. Regards Cathy

I found that using a squeegee makes window cleaning a breeze! I just spray household cleaner on the glass, wipe with a cleaning cloth, spray more cleaner so the window is nice and wet, then squeegee it clean. No wiping, no streaks. I used to live in a hillside house where washing windows required a professional. Now I live in a one-story house on flat land and I can wash my own windows whenever I darn well please! The squeegee makes it fun.

Last message was perfect! With kiddos it is much harder to keep the home clean every day.

I’m stopping halfway through this video to start “Clockwise and Top Down.” You can too. Thanks for this extremely helpful tip.

[@rebekah517]

I'm loving these! Funny, I'm playing them as I clean. Really enjoy listening to podcasts while I clean and now cleaning and organizing videos. I also have a small space and feel that clutter makes it feel smaller so I like to do speed cleaning or timed cleaning.

I am a makeup artist. And we apply foundation clockwise too!😝

[@barbarachiang7748]

Amazing how you keep a clean space..next tip is getting family members involved so if you get busy at work or you get sick for a day or two, your world will not look horribly messy 👍great job you are a superwoman💐

[@arij9331]

Since I watched this video I got really involved in some cleaning tips and when I watched Emily, I told myself, “She is very clean and she is very organised.” Then, I learned from her and sometimes I did some cleaning videos.

[@valnstuff]

I have not watched a cleaning video in several months because I've just felt so overwhelmed with "momming" lately. But I'm so glad I watched this because I'm super motivated now! I'm off to clean the bath tub! Thanks Emily.

[@antoniastridsberg6748]

When I tidy up I do 1 room at a time. Even if I take something from the living room to the bedroom and spot something in the wrong place on the way, I leave and until I’ve gotten to that room. That helps me stay focused and not get overwhelmed.

[@box2bliss927]

I agree if you have cleaning tools you like. I don’t have a dishwasher and the scrub daddy was a game changer for me.

[@RaiRaiBrown]

I'm horrible about my clothes in my room. The clothes are folded they just aren't put away, lol. I also get confused for some reason about where to put things. I don't want to forget where I put them. I have too many things I think I should practice minimalism the art of doing more with less.

[@freespirit6640]

I have the same problem, the home is so chaotic because I don't know where to start..

I have one tub for tops I live to wear. Another tub for pants I always wear in different spots. So it's just grab put on and go.

I’ve been trying to donate clothes. They have always been a problem for me. I’m not organized with my clothes!

This I think is the best cleaning advice I have ever got. Thank you Emily!

[@Life-chores]

I really like all your dresses Emily. I am Pakistani but I follow you. 😊 I even started my own KZbin channel. Because I got encouragement from you before I use to think I Have children I am too busy. But I saw you doing with your children and got motivation.

[@laurendianne746]

Glad I found your channel! You have literally saved my life...the tip about never leaving a room with an empty hand is brilliant... never seen my house so tidy 😅 thank you so much!

[@sharminrahman8038]

Great tips. I have come to the conclusion that I clean for myself and it is self care to me.

[@ammaramubasshir5839]

Emily u r love and so inspiring .... Im the one who needs u the most for cleaning videos i see ur video and get up to clean and tidy up otherwise too lazy to do anything

[@ssv...always_be_kind]

Oh.. im not the only one then :)

[@lauracullen854]

This has came at the perfect time, I feel like I’m chasing my tail at the moment 🤦🏼‍♀️ especially with the kiddies being home. Loved this Emily 😘😍😘 Xxx

[@odettemicallefengerer3549]

A paper towel on the microwave rotary plate helps make cleaning up the microwave easier when there are some spills. Also bicarbonate and vinegar paste left for work for 20-30 mins makes cleaning the oven tray so much easier.

[@Nabbumbajanat2004f]

Thank Emily for this i started watching you when 3 years ago when my house keeper left at the worst time this channel has been my run too every day.Got inspired i started my own channel God bless you

[@angelwings1]

I do the dishwasher while our food is cooking & wipe down sides. The first thing I do in the morning, literally as my feet touch the floor, is turn around and make up the bed. I’m constantly cleaning & tidying.

[@haleybaroody8931]

I'd love to see a "out of the house" beauty routine. So, like......nail salon, brows, hair salon, etc. Thanks! Love all the videos. They really motivate me. ❤️✌🏻

[@kaylahart9934]

Thank you for adding in the last part haha my husband and I just celebrated our 1 year and we have a 3 month old! So I have been reallyt trying to keep things in order and clean. But I try not to be hard on myself as my husband says. Thank you for the tips, love the 5 minute rule!

[@MOV1983]

Thank you so much for the tips. We learn to use systems in the workplace, but it neve occurred to me to apply it to cleaning my house. Women are so much smarter than us guys. Best wishes to you.

[@FriendlyCelestial]

Just cleaned and made bed while listening to this

I keep bathroom toilet cleaner and spray above the toilet, so whenever I use the restroom in the morning, I wipe the seat down and scrub the inside. I also wipe the bathroom mirrors and sink whenever I use it .

[@brendaepp4596]

Magic erasers from the dollar store are my favorite for my bathroom sink and the inside of my toilet clean like Magic 🎩

[@WilletteB]

Thank you for these tips. I have begun doing the hang up my coat and purse routine. It does help to return an item to its home if headed that way. You have a beautiful home. Blessings! 🙂

[@Chiwoful]

Thanks for this content...I love clean and neat spaces at all times

[@Mommysodes]

Hahahaha love the last tip because that's my life. 3 under 6, the playroom and family room is constantly a mess. My goal is to tidy both up every night but with a 6 month old its close to impossible. Great video Emily.

[@meggarstang6761]

Enjoy your babies while you can - the messes can wait. There will be time enough for a perfect home when they are older.

[@antheapyzinski4431]

You are such a competent and put-together, yet still relatable person, Emily!

[@thereset1735]

Im 32 weeks pregnant with my second baby and having a 2 year old. Im trying to clean as good as I can when I have the energy. Txs for the tips! Gonna start follow them better when i feel more like my self and not so exhaused :)

[@smaira2759]

Every single tip was fantastic :) looked for and watched alot of cleaning schedule, hacks and idea videos. However, nothing has been as helpful as this one!! Thank you Emily!

[@electricvanessa1986]

I actually do a lot of these tips already purely from watching your videos! I’ve been doing them almost subconsciously! Fab video xx💕

[@patriciacole8773]

I respect and admire your modest dress / tops. Feminine and attractive while covering body shape. I appreciate all of your advice. It was my first time here. So these were good impressions.

[@islandgirl3126]

Listening to this while I do my ironing. The speed cleaning thing is great. I usually line up my 5 favourite songs while I do it

[@judesheppard8977]

I love the fact that you said cleaning is your guilt free me time, I am always feeling this was as I don't feel like it's wasted time and leave the boys to it 👍😊 some fab tips Emily 👏

[@tdias13th]

Love u emily norris. I am only in 8th grade but still love watching your videos

[@lindie5447]

I think that last tip is the most important one 🤣. It's not easy handling chores and small kids at the same time.

[@siphiwedlamini469]

Delicate chores to the children and play music whilst cleaning it relieves the stress.

[@rachelfrght3841]

I’m used to do everything in your list. My mom taught me these habits and I’m glad she did because having a spotless and organized house has never been difficult for me. One of your tips I learned by myself and I swear by it. I keep a few cleaning products in every bathroom. Sometimes I’m not even planning on cleaning my kids bathroom but I go in there to pick up some clothes they have left on the floor and I see the bathroom is not clean by having cleaning products there I easily and quickly clean up in 10 minutes and done. I feel that if I have to go to the closet to get them I probably would leave the cleaning for later.

[@AllNatural7]

Awesome... cleaning clockwise in a room makes it less overwhelming ♡
