Lol the shower footage.

[@ErinNDo]

I love this. Yes! My house too. I have three young children. Cleaning everyday is like shoveling snow while it’s still snowing. I love any cleaning hacks or weekly/daily and monthly routines to help me out. I’m not able to get to actual cleaning ( like mopping or dusting and even cleaning the whole fridge) much because of all the daily messes that need attending. It’s just too much. Any quick hacks are a life savor!!! Thank you.

[@crtnyhks]

Opening sequence of toddler life: still giggling over how real that is :D Great tips, thank you!

[@RememberTheLord]

Same 😂

[@aot9644]

As we don't have a dishwasher, we've learned to rinse our dishes immediately after using, stacking them next to the sink, and soaking our pots and pans to make for a faster clean up later.

[@stephanied6711]

Same

[@jocelynsmyth6604]

Same - not sure if this will work for you as an option, but sometimes I wipe the pans/pots with a paper towel (goes right into the greenbin), then I place it I the bottom of the sink and wash the dishes over the harder to clean pan - that way, all the hot soap water runs all over it. Even if it doesn't do much, it makes me feel better, at any rate haha

[@MsCheesemonster13]

If I’ve got greasy or fat filled pans, I first scrape out the excess fat into the bin. Then I wipe some dish soap* into the the pans, and plonk wet paper towels on top so that the dish soap doesn’t dry out and it continues working on the dirty greasy surface. It seems to work better than just soaking greasy pans in soapy water, and I can use the used paper towels afterwards to remove the loosened dirt/fat. * If it is really bad, I add either corn starch (corn flour) or bicarbonate of soda to the dish soap.

[@Heelsandholster]

Those shoes in the thumbnail are the best! Lol 😂

[@suneyeintuition4315]

I love the posts/columns in your house. I think those add so much character to an indoor space. The vinegar/lemon peel microwave hack is great for the aroma and to get the smells out of a bad microwave, but heck, if you don't have that, plain water works like a charm too.

[@jennybeam7226]

The Cinderella to toddler mess jam🎵was hilarious!😂 Having a 4, 5 & 10 year old makes it so relatable. Knowing u have a newborn as I'm watching this is also precious.. Hang in there, Mama!❤

[@cindydolezal9362]

Throw that sponge in the dishwasher too! For less waste just keep a cleaning solution and some water in the bottom of your brush holder. It’s always ready to swish your toilet. I follow Fly Lady.

[@wdfamily_027]

It’s not a good idea with little ones running around!

[@jacnjoe]

I thought that was a brilliant idea! Just use something non toxic like vinegar and water! Thanks for the idea!

[@jacmad4186]

I've seen quite a few videos with tips of how to keep your house clean. This one is really different though bc I really think that every single tip you shared truly is practical and super easy. A lot of the time, people share tips that just aren't simple enough. And when you have a little one at home, the simpler the better! As you said 😄👍

[@jaimebh30]

I need to get microfiber cleaning slippers. They look great for hardwood floors. I need to quickly put stuff away everyday. I love your dishwasher top rack. It looks essential for small items.

[@jhdct94]

Never thought of the “take something with you when you leave the room you are in.” Brilliant! I will try to do this. I waste so much time moving stuff from room to room, but this inefficient use of time does help me get my steps in. 😆

[@christiejohnson819]

Jennifer H omg right I was just telling my husband this brilliant idea!!! Awesome

[@mamammmv9434]

My cleaning hack/tip. We are a family of 7. 18 months though Me (age is not important). In our garage where the washing machine is I bought a plastic shelving system (4 shelves) at Home Depot and put 8 dollar tree laundry baskets on them. Each basket is assigned an item. Lights, darks, bath towels, gross towels (kitchen and cleaning) misc bedding, teen daughter (she does her own laundry). This system makes it so easy for me to just throw in a load when the basket is getting full.

[@erinbogan9808]

I always use my daughters wash cloth to wipe down the sides of the tub once we are done with it during the bath. So I bathe her, then get it wet one last time, just wipe down the top of the sides of the tub, where most of the dust builds up, and then throw the washcloth in the laundry after. I only deep clean everything about once a month but the tub never really looks like it needs cleaned!

[@yvonnehyman1683]

I once saw someone say to never set something down if you can get to the place to put it away In 10 steps or less. I was shocked how many places in my home were a mere 10 steps away and that made putting them away seem much easier.

[@thatpracticalmom]

love it!

[@broadwayluver77]

Bahaha, miles emptying the bedside table while you were making the bed. That’s #momlife right there 😂

[@diannewyman733]

Kallie, I love these. I am older, my kids grown and gone but these things go on for a lifetime! I love the shoes! I hate doing my floor and then feeling like I’m walking through everything I’ve just done. With those you would have a beautiful floor. I also have the remote control vacuum and they are the bomb! It is a great way to just keep control of all the stuff and it’s even better when you have kids. Thank you so much for sharing. I am very grateful for everything you passed on!

[@braelynheltne6328]

Your videos have really helped me change my mindset. Thank you!!

[@TheDavestohler]

I tried your vinegar/microwave tip today. It worked extremely well! Thank you for the tip!

[@HeronCoyote1234]

I timed how long it took me to wash a sink load of dishes. Ten mins. So now, when I look at the dishes, I think “it’s only going to take ten mins and they’ll be done”.

[@susantaylor1359]

Love, love the shoes. As allways you give info and are a joy to watch.

[@jaimeces4090]

I’m always here for lazy cleaning tips 🙌🏻

[@RAE.ofSunshine]

Oh also I love the idea of the basket in your livingroom. Brilliant

[@mahalkita82]

Always love your quick tips!

[@deborahroper3694]

Love those cleaning videos. It’s got to be quick,clean and easy. Thank you.

[@bored4325]

as i keep growing older, my love for cleaning starts getting bigger

[@lisapitts9518]

I thought I was the only one. I Love a clean home, I told my husband recently that the older I get the more I was to clean! He just laughed

[@Neverlandishome]

Me too! I was such a messy slob as a teen but as a new mom with my own home I take so much pride in keeping my home clean and decorated!

[@kimmyball4961]

Im opposite, lol. When my kids were growing up, I was obsessed with having a clean house. Now im way more relaxed about it!!

[@lisapitts9518]

Some great ideas. I have a bad back, so I try to keep things simple when it comes to cleaning!

[@laurarodino-posenato5277]

Thanks for sharing love your videos and your presentation of them 💕

[@Christina-dr8jg]

Wow, microfiber cleaning socks! Genius!

[@bethannbridges2009]

Awesome cleaning hacks! Thank you! I loved the dishwasher cleaning tip! Will definitely use this one!😀

[@judysbakeryandtestkitchen1654]

I’ve got to get those slippers! Thank you so much. I hope you’re enjoying your cute baby

[@crafterdeidra]

Great cleaning tips. Great video as always. Thanks for sharing with us!

[@karlamedina5280]

I always love your tips!

[@yvetteburesch9018]

I tried the microwave trick and oh my goodness it worked perfectly! My microwave was pretty bad and I only needed to do it once. Thank you!!!

[@heatherframpton9693]

Yes, thank you for this. We moved into our new home almost three weeks ago, and our microwave oven needed cleaning. I forgot how long to heat up that vinegar yesterday. Today, I'll do a better job! 😁

[@jfr7160]

Love the tips! Those dusting footies are da bomb 💣 !!

[@Brooklyn_]

Mom Life: sorry my microwave is so dirty KZbinr Life: sorry my microwave isn't very dirty

[@thatpracticalmom]

things I never thought I'd say

[@laceyryan553]

A robot vacuum is a game changer! I got a very basic Deebot, no mapping, auto empty, etc. It cleans a room using the "pinball" method (run into something, turn, repeat.) I love my dumb little robot.

[@lindaroberts2282]

Great video thanks for the tips!

[@RAE.ofSunshine]

These are great and actually useful. I just tried the vinegar/microwave hack about 2 months ago. I've been meaning to find a way to scrub shower more and the sponge idea makes alot of sense. I'm also going to give the 60 second mindset a try. Thanks!!

[@subboxjunkie8298]

Love the cleaning tips videos ! 👍🏼

[@canadiankabingurl9782]

Good video. I like the foot dusters. I always take something with me when I leave a room, just makes sense to me. Also my Mom drilled that in me from a young age. But one thing I never do and never allow anyone else to do is walk in the house with shoes. All the gross stuff found on the ground, I certainly don't want on my floors and furniture. Even my dogs paws are wiped clean upon entering the foyer. I have everything needed to wipe his paws in the entrance I keep a moist cloth in a ziploc bag that I change everyday.

[@janice9760]

Diane Brunet Yes! I can’t understand people who wear shoes in the house! So, so nasty. People just don’t think about everything that shoes pick up.

[@judyblaise1639]

You have great tips! I have a rumba and use it often.

[@murphy1384]

Awesome video. I use a lot of those hacks. The slippers I need

[@jacnjoe]

Love these hacks! It was entertaining too! Thanks! 😊

[@djplumking]

that shower cleaning idea! I do something similar since I have tile, I keep a small stiff bristled brush in the shower and scrub the grout every now and then while I'm in there and helps so much.

[@heatherframpton9693]

Those dusting slippers are ingenious! I have them in several colors and have given them as gifts! 😁

[@mashal649]

Love all your tips ♥️

[@joekmiller]

I just bought those microfiber slippers and I am so excited for them to come! 🤓

[@jillievanilli1767]

LOL Today I cleaned the bathtub with a sponge I keep in there after my bath!

[@margaretchisham1121]

My mom used to wash my dad's ball caps in the dishwasher. Kept shape better.

[@jennybeam7226]

Yes I learned this shortly after getting married years ago. Heaven forbid that precious bill lose it's perfect shape!😉

[@gladyswallace997]

Just do it! Shia LeBouf, that cracked me up! I love the floor cleaning slippers. I also want a robot vacuum! Thanks for the cool video. I love that you have an upstairs in your home.

[@imaginekelly7603]

Great video!

[@bettystroh6504]

The Shia Lebauf cameo made me spit water on myself. Thanks 🤣

[@erindenny297]

So helpful, I watched twice!

[@AnnRicci]

I just ordered the cleaning slippers !!

[@heatherframpton9693]

Excellent ideas! 😊❤🏡

[@rhyneahmed5245]

Hi 👋 I like watching you as a mom too I really get some helpful ideas

[@Jenny_bell_key]

Keeping a sponge in the shower really does help keep that area cleaner. I’ve had one hanging in there for ages!

[@ChantalsCritters]

What great ideas.

[@jamee215]

I love the cleaning the shower while you are in the shower hack LOL guilty as charged here, on that one lol

[@antoniajagodic]

So nice 💕💕

[@daveanasinclairprovencher5903]

I also keep Clorox wipes in the bathroom for daily wipe ups as I live with 2 guys!

[@yolis1world]

Dont i love youuu!! You are soo fun to watch

[@thatpracticalmom]

awww thank you

[@lucafox8785]

brilliant

[@teri3965]

I clean, turn around and it’s a mess again. Problem is, I live alone 😭

[@traceynomatterwhat383]

Teri Reiter I relate.

[@kimberlyherring9784]

I also use the Clorox bleach tablets for my toilets (in addition to weekly cleaning! With the Lysol liquid). I buy a bulk box at Costco and each tablet lasts up to 3 months, helps keep the toilet cleaner with every flush! 🙂

[@wendellmonster6179]

You are good .,your mom taught you right 👍

[@anniechicas7506]

Head & Shoulders dandruff shampoo works wonders on soap scum. I buy the cheap off brand type (it has to be just regular dandruff shampoo, not the two in one type) and I keep that in my shower and squirt a little bit on a clean rag and wipe down my shower while my conditioner is sitting in my hair. I have a hose attachment on my showerhead, so I can rinse the conditioner out of my hair I take the hose down and rinse all the shampoo off the walls. This way my shower gets clean, and I’m not using cleaning products that I don’t want getting on my skin.

[@kristinealexander3491]

Sorry pressed the wrong button. My Swiffer wet jet has been a life saver since you use it to mop the floors and then throw the soiled pad away. The pads can get expensive however. The cleaning slippers are genius!! I’ve been hoping for something like that so that I don’t have to step on my wet floors with bare feet.

[@misshollybrooke]

You crack me up!!!!

[@macaroonenthusiast]

I cracked up in public during the shower footage 🤣

[@terrisyoutube1726]

Omg yes those slip ons,

[@LifeWithMrsB]

I wish I could tell you that it gets easier to tidy as kids get older 😂😂

[@rolamie60]

we live in a condo and we are senior citizens who hate going up and down the stairs i leave a basket near the stairs and if soemthing goes upstairs who ever goes up there brings the basket .

[@8-BitRach]

Those microfibre slippers - ya can get babygros in the same stuff so as the baby crawls around they clean the floor, genius!

[@Insulin4life]

I have to get myself some of those micro fiber slippers lol

[@jessicajepsen4332]

To clean your dishwasher, put the contents of a lemonade Kool Aid packet (just packet ... NO SUGAR) into the powder detergent dispenser of your empty dishwasher. Run the wash cycle and you’ll get a super shiny clean smelling dishwasher!

[@YvonneHudduma]

This is great. Yes I always have a spare storage bin/furniture piece to keep all the things that we need but don't want to be out. Do you ha ve any storage hacks for kids toys? I find that my kid has toys everywhere

[@RAE.ofSunshine]

In a recent video she mentioned a toy rotating system. Instead of all toys out at once, she gives a few at a time then rotates the toys

[@YvonneHudduma]

@@RAE.ofSunshine oooh thanks for that. That's a great idea. I'll have a look for the video. Thanks for answering. Much appreciated

[@cecilia954]

I'm a new subscriber so you might have already talked about this. I noticed the Nioxin shampoo in your shower. Can you see any difference using it? My hair is very fine and thin and I was thinking about trying it. Also does it have a strong fragrance? Thanks

[@ItIsAmandaaa]

I use my dishwasher as a pantry 😂 I hand wash my dishes and store snacks 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@postalmomof2]

Those robo vacuums are a great price right now, I got mine for less than $130.

[@Lashlove16]

Deanne Rodriguez from where

[@postalmomof2]

Lashlove16 amazon

[@postalmomof2]

Lashlove16 I just looked and the brand I have is ILIFE but they are $159 now. There was one for $139 but the brand I have has gone up to $159. Still very economical.

[@mrsmetalhead666]

great tips as always, you should put draw locks on your draws in your bedroom to stop your son taking things out lol

[@brieb9750]

LOVE that black and brown rug! Do you remember where you got it? Great vid btw 💓

[@yasminerabehi1714]

I think most of her rugs are from a company called ruggable, she has talked about them several times on instagram (something about being light weight and machine washable)

[@brieb9750]

Yasmine Rabehi ah ok, thanks! I’ve heard of those rugs. I’ll check it out!

[@Sagicorn24]

I’ve been washing the one million old navy flip flops i have in my dishwasher for years- drying turned off of course

[@traceynomatterwhat383]

Sagicorn24 with half a million pairs, I’m guessing each pair doesn’t have to get washed very often, so that works!

[@Sagicorn24]

Tracey No Matter What it works great. I have so many because of their once a summer $1 sale that I wear a pair for about two weeks, trade it out. Collect enough and then throw them in the top rack. If they get too grungy, a toothbrush and some dawn works. Rule is to never set the washer to dry. The thong will pop out. Happened to me while driving. So much fun. Shouldn’t wear them while driving anyway 🙄

[@johnlisapepper3440]

Where did you get your small living room tables?

[@suzanneelicker8163]

Also do like fake greens and flowers

[@reginarobertsfil-amcouples3735]

New subs here .. very helpful tnx 😍

[@ShadowCat1321]

Got anything for cleaning ovens? lol I want some of those microfiber slippers now...

[@Rator31]

Where did you get your case in your Sun room?

[@samk4507]

Can we use brown vinegar?

[@janallen541]

Where do you get the holder for the Clorox toilet wand?

[@nicolecox6580]

My husband and I have a roomba and I would put it on daily if I could except for the fact that my sister-in-law doesn’t like how noisy it is.

[@nicolecox6580]

jim floyd she just complained that she was doing all the cleaning. So I do it when she’s not home

[@traceynomatterwhat383]

@Nicole Cox does your sister-in-law have sound sensitivity issues, or are they actually loud like a normal vacuum? I do have hyperaccusis, and need to have earplugs in when they’re vacuuming the hallway of my apartment building, so am guessing Roombas are loud, too?

[@nicolecox6580]

Tracey No Matter What it’s not abnormally loud, she doesn’t have sensory issues that I’m aware of (there are no other signs I’ve seen of it) she just likes a quiet house, and the vacuum cleaner just happens to be a little bit noisy.

[@traceynomatterwhat383]

@Nicole Cox thanks. 😊

[@kristinealexander3491]

Do u use a swiffer

[@aprilhutchens2105]

It's my understanding that you can load a bunch of potatoes in your dishwasher with no soap and clean those too....

[@aprilsummers9930]

Have you been in my house??? The pile at the top of my basement stairs just keeps growing! 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@thatpracticalmom]

less than 60 seconds doooo itttt

[@AnnRicci]

Years ago I heard a church sermon and the pastor said .... if you have young children in your house ... then your house should look like it !!! Just hearing that took a big burden off my shoulders !!!!

[@elizabethdavis3417]

I totally deep clean the shower while showering

[@stephanied6711]

💖💖💖💖

[@melindawilson1414]

I keep a squeegee in the shower....faster and less streaking.

[@samanthainlove]

That is a huge dishwasher

[@theowlfamily9301]

Hello, I absolutely love the slipper review and was thinking I could use it for one of my ads. Your upper body won't show at all and I'll drop the audio if you wouldn't like your voice to be heard. I'll be looking forward to a reply be it yes or no ^-^
