Do This For a Clean House

Do you need some motivation to clean? Todays video has some great tips for anyone who needs a little nudge to get started.

[@gaylenehamilton4003]

My sister in law gave me a tip, she said she cleans a little every day. One day the bathrooms, one day vacuum and wash floors, put dirty dishes directly into the dishwasher. And put things back in their place when done using them, it sure saves a big clean up later in the week. Now the trick is to train your family, that’s the hard part! 😂

[@grandmaandgrandpagriffiths4715]

Those are the best tips!

[@deniseryan4146]

When you leave a room, look for what you can take with you... dirty dishes , trash, papers, etc. When my 5 kids were young, they each had a hamper. I won't pick up or search for dirty clothes. I would go get a hamper or two and wash the clothes. Small loads are easier to manage. I also believe in one set of sheets! I have several pillow cases, which I like to swap out every 3-4 days though. Tidy as you go, clean up after yourself, easy peasy! Same rule for your car.... when you get out, see what you can grab... trash, etc. Enjoy this new chapter of your life Griffith's!

[@grandmaandgrandpagriffiths4715]

Thank you and you are right on!

[@heatherfitzgerald7260]

Car tip is a must. We have never had a dirty car because we clean it out every time we get out. And we eat in our car with a child and it is doable and a sanity saver, for sure!👍🏻😁

[@Janice_1979_]

Hi I always change my sheets once a week, our garage looks like yours.😄your right cleaning a bit each day helps a lot.

[@ivysweets]

I really love these videos! You have no idea how these kinds of tips have helped me. My mom is amazing but she worked full time when I was growing up. She did her very best and I love her. Now that I own my own home with my wonderful husband, I incorporate a lot of your advice and it has been great. Thank you! 😁

[@theresabanken7329]

Thank u Jennifer u have inspired me so much !!!!! I went to bed I was so tired and I just couldn’t fall asleep till I got up out of bed and did my dishes !!!! Then you slept like a baby after the dishes were done!!!! I like ur recipes but there is no way I could ever afford $109.00 of will just pray that some day I will get blessed with one !!!! Oh fill like I’m part of ur family !!!

[@remnant1018]

They are so wonderful together. It’s such a comfort both to hear the tips (and the clear explanations behind them) AND to see the beautiful harmony between these two. 🤔or perhaps I should say the unity of these two.🙂

[@MsSamanatha]

I try to keep up I've got leg issues that mess with my balance but I do try to clean as I go and thank God for caregivers. 🙂

[@Devanbree]

I so needed this video! Thank you very much. I love how clean your house is 🌸. And oh my gosh you and your husband are so cute together !

[@marimayn716]

Thank you for sharing this, I’m 38 and trying to clean daily to kept my apt clean n orderly.

[@taylorlynn534]

Miss you guys❤️ hope you all come back some day. The cleaning videos have been helpful!

[@patticallihan8515]

I have always cleaned up as I go. So much easier and saves time. Great video Jennifer and Chad. 👍

[@navjotbal6904]

Oh definitely yes I have trouble keeping my house clean.Thank you for the amazing ideas and tips.😀 ❤

[@nicolejohanna2178]

This is exactly how we do things in our home and it makes it so much easier to clean! Wonderful video 👍🏻

[@veronicajean3612]

My parents had a spotless house. And it was always much work. I like clean. But if the sun is shining and I could clean or go out enjoy it…I go out and enjoy it. My mother never came out and played with us. She was always cleaning. I myself played with my kids. Happy medium does me fine. To each their own. Happy trails

[@grandmaandgrandpagriffiths4715]

So true!

[@dinamg6526]

Thank you grandma ❤

[@mishloud4215]

I LOVE your cleaning videos...I always learn something new. PS Lincoln looks a lot like his grandfather!!!

[@SleepyHollow1974]

I clean a little every day in my home. I maintain the kitchen, Run dishwasher when it’s full and clean the 3 bathrooms we have. However, we do have 3 lovely ladies who come in 1x/month to clean for us. They do the heavy stuff like wash all the ceramic floors and windows and they’ll hit the bathrooms too if I ask. I cleaned up enough for 45 years as a nurse. Now I clean to maintain my house. The heavy duty stuff I leave for these wonderful ladies. I really appreciate them and hubby & I know that they can use the money too. We even leave them a tip because that’s how much we appreciate them coming!❤️❤️❤️

[@GrandmaandGrandpaGriffiths]

I love this!

[@carlajohnson7361]

Thank you for reminding us what we already knew but chose to ignore. I’m going to tackle a few things right now. ( dusting is one)

[@nancyosgood777]

It takes me about about an hour and a half to go from one end of my house to other cleaning because we always keep things picked up. Granted, its much easier when its just the two of us! I usually clean well on Mondays after the weekend when the kids are around and on Fridays so everything is ready for the weekend. Also, we have two dogs so vacuuming a couple times a week is a must! I always run the dishwasher at night before bed and I also wash my sheets and put them right back on the bed. I wash them weekly though. It also helps that my husband is so good at picking up after himself! In 43 years of marriage I can count on one hand the number of times I have had to pick up any clothing or towels after him or put his dishes in the dishwasher. He's a gem!

[@deannab9511]

I would love to see more like this, you guys are awesome!

[@carriegreen3561]

Love you so much from traverse City Michigan ❤️❤️❤️

[@donnagrosch4519]

Omg. I think this was one of your best videos. I totally Agee 100% with everything you said.

[@susannebader3151]

Love these videos so much. Thanks so much. Happy greetings from germany ☺

[@DBurgg]

I was SHOCKED to see dust in your bedroom! I don’t feel so bad now…and I have a plan to dust today!😉

[@jkat3911]

It's true. Having a lot of junk on the counter just gets dirty so quick and it's an everyday clean to keep it clean.

[@allheartandsong]

For times of sickness or times when we are extra busy in sports I'll get some paper plates and plastic spoons to dishes but make sure it's not for too long. Like I'll just biy one large stack of plates and once those run out I go back to normal dishes. My kids are so helpful and love loading their own dish too. I make sure to tell them they are doing such a great job and I dont make it a negative experience. I just say we are a family and we all have to do our part and they are always more than happy to do their part.

[@bethbrown2316]

Thank you! For the lay 2 years I have done a morning and evening routine of daily tasks. I am 49 years old and didn’t realize before that doing things daily was what I was missing. I no longer feel like a failure and am not afraid to open the door when the door bell rings!

[@debbiemoeller2169]

Chad is so funny🤣🤣🤣. I love this couple!! Many blessings❤❤❤❤🙏🙏

[@MariaSegovia]

I love your advice! Thank you! You guys always encourage us to be better people :)

[@kitchentoolss]

Very nice and beautiful vlog. Thank you for sharing. 💞💖💕💓❤️

[@violawharton9649]

Hi Jennifer and Chad, I am a new subscriber and have been watching your girls channels too. Bonnie is sure a hoot. Our family loves watching videos from all of your family members. I've become a minimalist and so dislike cleaning when things pile up. I hate the clutter. We've been donating excess knick knacks and clothing, it feels great to live simply. So I've been dust/wet mopping on Wed and Sat. Same as our bathroom Wed and saturday. My house stays so clean. I dust when I wash the sheets. I go to bed nightly with a dishwasher running and empty it in the morning. My husband sure loves the bed simple clean lifestyle we've adopted. Thanks for the reminders Jen. Hope you heal up from the recent Gum surgery. Take care, Viola Ps I'll be joining the 60 club in March, so we are not that far apart in age.

[@grandmaandgrandpagriffiths4715]

Love this!

[@robinnieto2703]

I joined the 60 club on January 27.

[@allheartandsong]

I am a mom of four and recently had each kid pick out 1 cup and 1 mug. The rest of the cups I put in a cabinet we don't use for when people come over. I also told them to keep their cup on a cute placemat I got at Walmart. It makes it fun to set the 1 cup per member on the placemat and I don't have cups every where anymore. I wish I started this years ago. My kids are ages 3, 7,9 and 11 and are totally keeping up with this new idea😀

[@grandmaandgrandpagriffiths4715]

I love that idea!

[@Bindigirl7]

I always look forward to your videos. I wish you uploaded everyday.

[@ForGoodnesSake]

Great advice and you're right the more clutter, the longer it takes to clean. I wash sheets and my bedspread and put them back on the bed right out of the dryer, no wrinkles, no folding or storage problems. Doing a little each day makes it so much easier and it looks so much neater and cleaner. No shoes in the house keeps the house cleaner, dirt and germs stay outside and saves wear on your rugs (I don't have carpet). This time of year my mom would be gearing up for her spring deep clean, wash curtains, upholstery, vacuum mattresses and under beds, pulled out everything in cabinets and closets, got rid of everything she no longer needed or used, she would clean everything before putting it all back. Then she'd open the windows after her spring cleaning "to remove the stale winter air" lol. She was such an amazing woman, I miss her everyday. ❤😊 Thank you for sharing the art of a clean house.

[@karenh2890]

You inspired me! Just finished dinner and immediately got the dishwasher filled and hand-washed the items I don't put in the dishwasher! Normally, I do get the dishwasher filled some time before I go to bed, but the handwash items frequently soak overnight. Then the water is cold in the morning and my husband will throw his cereal bowl, coffee cup, etc. into the cold water. We know how that goes. And I agree that stuff on your hard surfaces makes cleaning much harder. I struggle with that, but I'm going to put some effort into coming up with a solution. Thanks for the inspiration, and keep doing these videos please!

[@Sarah_Pratt]

Thank you. For many of us, we learned the proper way to clean many things from your channel alone. Praying for your mouth to heal quickly 💞

[@allheartandsong]

My older boys also do their own laundry. I got them their own basket and they love having independence a d having their stuff separate so I have less laundry now. They run the wash and dryer once a week for their stuff and it is amazing 👏

[@robinnieto2703]

Such great ideas. I change sheets once a week. I need to get rid of some sets because I agree it would be way easier to have less. First thing every morning I make the bed, shower if needed, get dressed and do makeup. Then I do breakfast and clean up the kitchen. My husband and I clean out the sink after each meal and always before bed if we haven’t had time during the day.

[@annedarrah9117]

I'd love to see a video of how you had your kids do chores around the house back in the day!

[@loripatterson7882]

Love You guys. Excellent teachers.♡

[@grandmaandgrandpagriffiths4715]

Thank you.

[@h.faries7230]

I think these tips were great. Some family members give me a hard time about cleaning because I'm cleaning a clean house. However, my mom taught me that. When you clean as go, it makes the chaos so much easier to manage!

[@amydaniels6442]

We are a family of 11 with 5 kids still at home. Over the years and with that many people, plus working parents, you can imagine how messy things can get in a hurry. So, everyone has a job to do everyday and an additional weekend chore to help the household. I always say our ship will sink without everyone's help! I have instilled the term "company ready" in my family and kids. The house is never perfect but at any moment, if someone were to come by, we are company ready. I also live by the idea of never leaving a room without something in my hand if it needs put away or thrown away. Clean and tidy as I go. Thanks for a great video as always!

[@andreakratville8536]

OMG… you think just like my mother. She raised me this same way. I love it. Make your bed every morning, keep things clutter free, wash your dishes as you go, pick up after yourself, etc… it’s common sense. You’re amazing. Thank you!

[@SharpLife4]

I need to do my house. Learned to think before I buy. I say, will I use it and do I have a place for it and do I have something that does the same thing already. But sadly when I moved I kept stuff in boxes for when our construction projects were done. Same with the kids toys and stuff. Now I need the energy to sort it all and sell and donate and toss but don’t have a lot of energy but slowly will get it done. Then maintaining will be easier. I recently got rid of so much linen because of the same thought. Accidentally gave away to many towels though when we had guests we had no extra. Lol. Now I told my daughter when she has friends over for sleep overs if they want to use hot tub to bring their own towel

[@robertshaw1404]

Thank You Jennifer for your house cleaning tips .

Mrs. Jennifer when I start watching you vlogs one thing that stuck in my head when You cook You clean and I start doing that as well and I love it 🥰 no dirty kitchen or sink full of dishes I just love it and I Thank You for that 👍🥰

[@grandmaandgrandpagriffiths4715]

👍

[@denisejones7316]

Great video. Thanks for the advice. Your right definitely easier to clean without all the clutter in the way. It is difficult for me to part with things as growing up my parents struggled with finances and we were taught to not throw things away that you could possibly use later. So little by little I am learning to part with the things that don't have a purpose. Enjoy your content. Have a great day!

[@leslievalenciano-lopez8887]

Great video! Yes, it is easier to keep up with things. I think it’s much less stressful.❤️

[@nancysparks6181]

Such great advice thank you. Bonnie said on her channel you had dental surgery I hope all is well and you feel better ❤

[@andreajenkins2545]

Hi from Australia love watching you & Chad so much you always do such a great job. 🌷

[@lunacadence6050]

I just seem to go in circles! I have too much stuff that I have no idea where it goes! My brother-in-law always said that everything has its place. I don’t know where those places are. Yikes! I often feel overwhelmed and frustrated. I like to listen to you because you make me feel better. Keep making videos, please.

[@Barbara-pz8ky]

Love this…and funny but I figured that Chad was a neat nik…what a surprise…I wish I had been neater when my kids were young…I used to let things get out of hand and then had huge clean up jobs to do…I’m much better now and I always make the bed early every morning. On the other hand I like keeping 2 sets of sheets for each bed because I like to remake bed and not wait for laundry to be done. You’re such an inspiration, Jennifer , by just being you.

[@carmarasmussen8118]

Jennifer, I hope you and Chad just ignore some of the comments here. People are crazy 🤪!! Thanks for all of the great content on your channel. ❤

[@mrs.m5890]

Thank you for the encouraging video! Your house looks so beautiful and clean. Having less stuff makes things look so warm and welcoming. But thanks for being honest and showing us the areas that you struggle with sometimes. I have a very hard time keeping up with the dusting!! Do you have a cleaning schedule (like what areas you clean on certain days? )

I have always admired how you have minimal decorating so that your house is always looking clean. You may have dust but you don't have the normal clutter as most people have. You aren't owned by your stuff. That's why you have time for you and Chad and your family.

[@judyellen4412]

I totally agree with your tips about taking care of a home. And it makes a home less chaotic. I do the same things in my home. I was thinking now that Chad is retired...look out! Haha Just kidding but no reason for a messy garage now. 😉 I am older and I have been getting rid of stuff that has been hanging around too. My husband is actually adopting some ideas from me without me saying anything and he keeps everything. I love that he is seeing the difference and making changes too. It’s funny how that works.

[@joanharris8057]

Nicknats are dust collectors.. I keep only the bare essentials on my countertops to make it easier and faster to clean. Same with furniture. We all have too much stuff!. Last weekend I was going through my clothes closet and trying on clothes. Clothes that no longer fit or didn’t look good on me went in a big black bag for Goodwill. Dropped them off today after work. No sense of hanging on clothes you don;t wear and they take up closet space. I am glad you mentioned good habits. Mom taught us good habits by making us work first and after our chores were done we had free time. Good habits help you be more productive and not waste time or procrastinate. BTW, thanks to Chad for cleaning up “his” things. Lol.

[@johannabender4998]

Washing sheets every 2 weeks is good. I probably go closer to a month sometimes...

[@nicolajervis6695]

I agree if its not used in 3 months it goes. Years ago i sold my husbands game console. One day he asked if i saw it. I said ok when did i lsst see it hes said oh about a week ago. I went inti the drawer handed him the reciept and money and said check the date. I dold it about 13 weeks before. He was forever buying byt soon learned my 3 month moto 😂. We celebrate 17 years marriage this year and hes finally understanding. Love you videos. Love from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 x

[@TheMudPup1]

I love your videos!! I try to make it a point not to have clutter on flat surfaces. I make my bed every morning, I do a quick clean when I get home from work maybe 15/30 minutes. We run our dishwasher every night. With bigger projects I try to do them 1 day a week. I also go through each room ever 6 months & declutter as needed.. it’s too the point I don’t have to do that anymore. I don’t buy new things, I have gotten rid of everything I don’t like. It’s a hard time getting in a routine but it is so worth it!

[@grandmaandgrandpagriffiths4715]

You motivate me! 😀

[@duckyone20]

We barely have a bathroom counter so I keep all my stuff in a little plastic basket so I can just lift the whole thing rather then all the individual items. That's what works best for me. I hope you're feeling better after your surgery and Chad is doing the cleaning ;)

[@grandmaandgrandpagriffiths4715]

I’m feeling lots better. Thank you!

[@stephanielombardozzi2971]

One of the very best pieces I was given was “don’t put it down, put it away!” It has helped me so much from just leaving crap everywhere and throwing trash away.

I’m interested in your garage floor finish. Would you do a video on it or tell me about it

[@sashaduncan1730]

Mr. Chads a hoot!

[@wendymathews1030]

This is absolutely the key to keeping things clean and tidy; clean as you go! When my girls were young, i worked and so I tried to keep up on things because no way was I going to spend my precious days off cleaning! I did have to do some, of course, but for the most part I didn’t really have a whole lot. I did do laundry though, so we had clothes (school and work) for the coming week. My youngest daughter has always been very particular about keeping things clean, while the other 2 were pretty much the opposite!! It was an ongoing battle, and now that they are grown, we laugh about it! This one Sunday in particular, I called upstairs for the girls to bring their laundry down. My youngest brings me her basket, and all of the clothes in it are folded nice and neat. I said “Honey, you didn’t put your clean clothes away”, to which she replied, “mom, those are dirty”!! She wanted her room to be clean and tidy, and that included her dirty clothes basket! She’s 35 now, and yes, she’s still the same way; her home is immaculate. Her sisters tease her and say that she vacuums herself out of the door! 🤣🤣

[@rhondaouwenga7429]

😂😅😂

[@3bartboysplus]

"It's easier to keep up than to catch up". And for those shoes, we have two 18 pair metal shoe holders, mount to the wall, it was $19.+ on Amazon. We mounted them in the garage right by the door that goes into the house. This way it is easy to take them off and put them right on the rack and you step into the house without the messy shoes and they are all organized and tidy!
