I Tried Every Cleaning Routine, Then I Made My Own

[@The47thBasement]

The mom, the myth, the legend. She’s back.

[@debbiebriffa3241]

So glad to see her back! 😀

[@peacewG]

Yay!!!! Please stay!

[@SallyTaylor-i6u]

So wonderful to see you!!

[@tiffanytempleton2201]

Whoop whoop!!

[@pamelamorris5021]

Woohoo

[@kirstylight1739]

Never clicked on a video so fast! Watched the tidy tango so many times. Welcome back!

[@pamelalivengood8356]

I want a live tidy tango and bedroom boogie!

[@bigjay422]

Welcome back! As a recently single older man I stumbled across you trying to keep my house clean. You have changed the way I clean and I now live in a tidy home thanks to your inspiration. Thank you!

[@caramoonlynn]

It was 2004 when I tried my first cleaning routine. I think I have it figured out now.

[@LP-ck6qx]

Since I am an empty-nester, I plan to use the Toy Rotation day as a general Rotation Day to update my decor - to change out seasonal things or just rotate a few family photos, so that we continue to really see those things, not just become habituated to them.

[@TheGreatLarryPotter]

This is a great idea! I love doing this, but I find myself procrastinating it a lot…tying it to the beginning of the month will really help

[@melissahyatt9626]

I like this idea!

[@layleila2971]

Welcome back! I’m happy to see you still have your great sense of humor and your husband is still a good sport! I hope you rejuvenated. You deserve it!

[@ThatAwkwardMom]

I am!! Thank you 🥰

[@orenmontgomery8250]

My wife (who is, of course, super awesome) got me a great new toy for Christmas. It's one of those robot vacuum cleaners, but it's actually good (we had one once, but it just randomly bounced around the house, didn't clean well, and the battery died really fast). This thing is awesome. It maps the house so you can divide your house into zones or rooms and tell it to treat different areas differently (like vacuuming the entry twice, for example). It systematically goes back and forth like it's mowing a lawn and circles around things that are in the way. The best part is that it mops too and knows to switch to the mop/vacuum if it is on the hard floor or the carpet! It has a little water tank that it fills and empties (it empties its dust bin, too) at its charging base and cleans its mopping pads. Seriously, I love the thing. I can even control it with an app so I don't even need to be home (although, if the dirty water bin fills up or something, it can't finish the job, so I have to watch that). We can program timed routines, too, so it'll sweep and mop the kitchen and dining area while the kids are in bed and we're chilling out decompressing in front of the TV. It was pretty expensive, but I use it every day, and our floors have been looking great these last few weeks. I plan to still pull out the "real" vacuum and mop to deep clean sometimes, but it's been a great time/energy-saver for the daily routine. For my daily routine I'm pretty much just down to picking up toys, decluttering, wiping counters, and cleaning the bathrooms now. The dishwasher is still the king of the cleaning appliances, but this thing is great. It's a Roborock Qrevo S, if anyone is interested.

[@dianasimplifies]

I have used robots for years and never even got an expensive one. The last one I got was $90 on sale. It's been my fav. Anyway totally agree that robots are the best!

[@joyb264]

Oh thank God! You're back! Never been so happy to see an annoying alert on a Saturday morning!

[@LynnDom-m4u]

That Unique & Hilarious Mom...that fits you better! Welcome Back and Thank You for coming up with a cleaning plan and making it free!

[@debbiemarquina4749]

I am so glad that you are back. I hope your grandmother is well. I am a senior but you really motivate me to clean and get organized. You are appreciated my many. You are such a hoot to watch.

[@ucfhillcollege8296]

Awesome to see you back! I am changing the 99 to 29 as I am a lifetime minimalist. Candy wrappers and junk mail are immediately gone. But clothes and books need to be gone through monthly.

[@merrivideo]

The tidy tango changed my life. Is not a joke, I was unable to keep my house clean and I was starting to not take care of myself. I have done the tidy tango weekly since the first version came out. I was hoping you would release an update soon but I knew I had to wait until you were ready to come back. I'm so happy and I'm just in the first minute of this video.

[@lmack6596]

Same! I'm just about to tidy tango, then will let myself watch this new vid as a treat! 😄💃

[@susannpowell5678]

Welcome back - so good to see your smile again!

[@deborahhefty2558]

Welcome Back! I like the simplicity of your new cleaning method. As a person who has a laundry day, I have a suggestion. Attach one of the deep cleans to a laundry day. I start just after putting the first load in the washer. I welcome the little break from the deep clean to transfer the first load and finish the deep clean before the first dryer load is completed so that gives me over an hour to deep clean before folding starts. When my kids were small, this often began by putting the first wash load in at the start of a nap or after a return from the playground when the kids just had enough activity and my attention to watch TV or play quietly.

[@HannahRainbow88]

Yep, I use the laundry like a timer to clean our small apartment in about an hour 😊 Bleach (eg in toilets and drains) needs around 1hr "dwell time" to kill germs before you brush&flush. Antibac spray / disinfectant usually needs 10-15mins. Let the products work their hardest so it's easier for you 😊 ... And do not mix cleaning products unless you know they are safe to - don't gas yourself with bleach&ammonia, WWI style! ☠

[@apontelit]

So happy to see you!

[@KACn5582]

Your hubby saying "help me" is EVERYTHING! 😂

[@stefflcus]

Ahhhhhhhh I have been waiting for thiiiiiis! You did yer own thiiiiiiiing!! Thank you for sharing it with us, and thanks especially for acknowledging where we're all slightly different and that we aren't even all moms.

[@diggingmary129]

Can’t wait to try the Awkward mom routine!!! I’ve have missed your humor!!! ❤

[@emilybabb115]

SO happy to see you back!!!! Praying that all is well with you and your family. God bless you, Ariel! 🥰

[@ReneeDennis-x8h]

Welcome back “weirdo” I have missed you so much! 😊

[@donnamiller4630]

Yes yes yes!!!! It definitely makes sense for you to do this!!! Thank you for sharing your journey and helping us all along the way. I think we knew you'd be doing your own version eventually before you knew! So excited for you!!

[@tracycoleman8573]

I clicked on this as soon as it popped up. You are my favorite to help motivate me. Good to see you back. Can't wait for more but don't burn yourself out and take care of your family.

[@patriciabillips3697]

It brightened my day when I saw you had a video posted. Welcome back!!!!

[@georgiawild4332]

Woo hoo, you're back! I missed you so much that I watched a couple of your older videos the other day, lol. Thanks for the printable!

[@cindybailey9278]

So glad to see you back. I hope you were able to get the reset you needed and that everything has worked out as it should.

[@stephaniemoore-fuller9082]

Welcome back! I love that you studied so many other routines and combined the best parts into your own system!

[@stephaniehalpert7003]

This routine is very similar to what I already try to do, but I get stuck procrastinating on monthly tasks as well. Looking forward to future videos!

[@Chantlaura11]

the whole point is adaptability. Mobility issues, health crises . . . what we can do, do. What we can't . . prioritize and go from there. This is a sensible plan, not an ironclad mandate. Thanks. And good to see you again.

[@katehenry2718]

ONLY two things on my cleaning list: 1: wake up, stand up, make the bed. 2: if I don't like the way something looks, change it. That usually means put something away, or wash the dish, or take out the compost, vac the floor. Done. LOVE seeing you again. )))))

[@Spunkyneuroduventsolutions]

Good to have you back Ariel🎉🎉🎉 as someone who gets overwhelmed with cleaning this seems pretty easy for me

[@lauramoonwoman]

Brilliant! you are brilliant, i have watched them all too, thought the same thing and attempted to make my own schedule, but i think you've done it! i'm not even a mom. i am 66 with back troubles and stamina issues. Thanks so much! So glad you are back!

[@gingerstrait836]

Welcome back! Missed your videos and humor!!

[@Es24688]

I was just thinking about you the other day, so it’s good to see you back!

[@andywkit]

[@Sharon-hv9yl]

Welcome back I was looking for comments on your channel yesterday. I’ve missed you!!

[@rangerlove7]

Welcome back! I have so missed you, your humor, and advice. Yours is one of my comfort channels. ❤

[@katiegilbert1131]

welcome back, we missed you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@autumngale91]

I have a 4 year old and a 6 month old. The past 6 months I have been doing the bare minimum around my house, but now with the holidays over I've been feeling the urge to deep clean everything I've been ignoring, but couldn't find the motivation! You came back at the perfect time with the perfect thing! I need this routine! I need your silly awkward motivation! I can't wait to get started and love my home again!

[@RhondaBarnes-k3u]

Yeah, you are back!!! You have really been missed. Can't wait to see what you are going to bring us. Love you and your family. God bless. 🙏🙏🙏❤

[@JudyFitch-g4f]

So happy to see you back!

[@cc-UsA-2023]

You're back, and with great ideas! I think I will need to try this... seems like a laid-back routine that would allow me to build good habits without making cleaning my life focus.

[@lesliechavez4606]

I'm happy you're back ❤❤❤

[@diggingmary129]

Yay you’re back!!!! Hope all is well girl!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@mariehooter5749]

[@joycemoses2411]

WONDERFUL to see you back!!! We missed you! Can't wait to start your program! Thank you Ariel!

[@imjustsaying7300]

Good to see you again. New routines always include the good stuff of other routines. I think everyone needs to personalize what works for them. Love to see you putting out new twists on dreaded cleaning routines. Always open to new ideas!

[@shaystaves2934]

Yay, you're back, woot, woot! Listening to your video is like listening to myself get frustrated with all the other cleaning routines I've tried, and I've tried a LOT! I can't wait to start your routine since it makes so much sense and is so customized!

[@jeriheggie]

I love that you worked in decluttering with the 99 knockout!

[@kakylong2]

Yay! You're back! Hope you're rested up & ready to go because we're ready. 😊

[@BrittBerryStrawberry]

It's printing now!!! Thanks Ariel! So happy to see your cutie pootie face!!!

[@chrisrules1014]

Yay!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 So happy you are BACK! ❤❤❤ Can't wait to see more of the new routine and try it for myself. And I can't wait for your surprise. ❤

[@katiemulhearn9363]

I'm so excited your back. I have been doing the tidy tango for a couple months now and it has changed my life. And how I clean. I had depression after my youngest daughter and this has really help my house not get completely out of control.

[@Rosannasfriend]

It didn’t take me long to realize last year that I’m better off, making my own routine. But I couldn’t have done it without some of the ideas I got from the other established routines. So it wasn’t a waste of time. But if all else fails, all you need is the tiny tango! That’s the biggest thing I got from last year. And it was from you. I know you got it from fly lady, but I got it from you.Thank you.

[@debbielauck3131]

Thank you for your plan. So glad to see you again!❤

[@mstarr67LR]

I love this! Thank you for the free printables.

[@dpzoey]

So happy you are back! Missed your since of humor!

[@alejandrad8021]

Ariel, welcome back! 😍Thank you for sharing this wonderful cleaning routine!

[@bigmama5240]

I’ve missed you. Just had our 5th baby. You make me laugh and have a positive outlook. I don’t follow many people on here. You are one of the few. God bless you!

[@karolinq]

Welcome back Ariel, I have missed you so much!!!❤❤❤

[@natcortesm]

Best news of the day! Seeing you back on my subscriptions feed!! And with a gift that was exactly what I needed! ❤

[@AW-lp4vm]

Yay!! Welcome back! Pray all is improved and your break was just what you needed!! And agreed, "weirdos!!" Lol!! I can't wait to hear more!! Oh and PS on the laundry for some of us with septic the daily wash is a must as it can overwhelm the system with one big wash day... just in case that helps someone... ;)

[@sharongardner3826]

Welcome back!!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@Laurel-h6c]

So glad you are back. It makes my Saturdays better. We just moved in to a new more rooms house with different surfaces. I need help creating a new routine for everything. I’ll try this. Thanks

[@leahirvine3522]

Whoa! LOVE how simple this is. Great work Ariel

[@christinadelp1932]

What a Sweet Saturday surprise! So glad you're back! You're so inspirational and you give us all Grace! I love the huge timer. Where did you get it? Keep up the great work. I'm glad you're back❤

[@homesteadingdreams8046]

I am so excited that you are back!! I have missed you!!!! 🎉🎉💖

[@saintinlower48]

I love the repoire you have with you husband. He's a good sport and we enjoy that! And I like your routines. I've tired others also and there are some things that I stick to, like doing 2 loads of laundry a day, starting the dishwasher right before dinner and cleaning the kitchen after every meal, etc. But the once every few days tasts, like cleaning 3 bathrooms, has a lot to be desired. So nice video! I love your humor and your advice!

[@GoingGreenMom]

Love that everything is tied to something else and that the monthlies dont really add time.

[@hjmclark]

This is perfect timing! I was dreading designing something like this for myself. Thanks for this!

[@mrspalmere]

I'm so happy Ariel is back! I like this system. Seems doable.😊

[@kristiestephens5310]

Welcome back! So happy to see you!

[@DaKittyKat]
