WHOLE HOUSE DEEP CLEAN BEFORE NEW YEARS!

[@martavillanueva1062]

1# This video is perfect timing AND perfect for my situation to follow along. I'm unemployed for 6 weeks, so I'm using one week for each zone. If I get done in a zone before the week is up, I'll use the extra days switching back and forth between advancing to the next zone(AM), chipping away in the worst zone(PM), or just sitting with the family. 2# You can wear disposable gloves when you clean the glass screens if you don't like the chimney soot on your hands for that job. 3# Hee-hee You had a box in the front closet yet everything was on the closet floor including coats that looked like had fallen off hangers.

[@anstorck8346]

You're such a bubbly personality 🙂. Everytime I'm feeling down and have absolutely no energy for cleaning, I watch one of your videos and they give me the energy that I need to get back on track. Thanks for that, you're great!

[@kikkimaki]

Ah! I was thinking you were in Saskatchewan! Well, still the same distance for me I guess because I am in Alberta... I will be doing this now because I have a holiday for the first time since forever, and I think our house can use a fresh start-up! Thank you!

This is so great thank you !!!! Starting now !!! Did you take all your Christmas stuff down first ?

What vacuum do you have??

[@katrinafasho]

what a gorgeous fireplace! It's a good reminder that a lot of thing we think will be difficult or complicated are actually much easier to tackle than we think.

[@TheSecretSlob]

Yes! I feel silly for avoiding it!

[@jenniferluna1211]

Thank you for this video! I needed this motivation to get my home ready for the new year as well! Off I go! Have a wonderful Christmas! ❤️

[@JennyChart17]

Wow! Thanks for this video!! I'm from Vancouver but living in Greece now. I just wanted to say that you are so inspiring and you have such great ideas!! Thank you for being so generous with the printouts and with your time!! Happy Holidays to you and your family!!

What a great video! You’re the best inspiration on KZbin! Thanks so much Steph for all you do for so many! Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family!

[@MandyMakesThat]

This is exactly what I'm needing! I was just thinking, I cannot have a messy house in the new year!

[@KathleenHema]

Thanks for the motivation! Been following you for a long time and love seeing your little ones getting so big!

[@tammyi363]

You’re awesome 🤩 Merry 🎄Christmas to you and your family🎁

[@zejneb6209]

I have 14 years old and I LOVE watching cleaning videos 😀

[@MelliBibLi]

Hey Steph! I just tried to clean the oven window with backing powder it doesnt work at all. But WHAT WORKS 100%😍😍😍...is cold ash from the fire place. You wet news paper or other a little harder paper, make it wet and then put the ash on the glass and wipe/scrub the window with it. In the end just wash it of with clear water. So cool...Thank you for all your super great Videos. You are so cool and nice😘😘😘

[@elizabethhenderson9934]

Im also in BC but from Scotland, it is a tradition my Mum had in my childhood not to take your dirt into the New Year! I love doing this every year. Makes me feel good👍🏻💗

[@Rasminda_Alariat]

So happy for this video. Definitely motivated me to get my butt moving today 😁

[@amandaburger2506]

We're gearing up to take down Christmas decorations today and then I will work through a whole house deep clean throughout January. I did a lot of main floor decluttering and a deep clean before setting up for Christmas, so it'll hopefully be just a 1 or 2 day project. The basement will be much longer because I have some major decluttering to do down there, but I'm so excited to get it done! Thanks for the motivation, I've printed your decluttering and cleaning checklist and I'm excited to get started.

[@RandomHippieCreations]

I am in a mode to get things done for the New Years too 👌🏻 Thanks for the video!

[@BronwenBudgets]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! This is exactly what I want to do to reset my house as it has been a bit neglected lately! I will be joining you to complete all zones before the new year. We are in another lockdown here also.

[@livemorewithless7817]

Yay you are such an amazing mom and wife!! Your house looks amazing! You work so much. You are awesome! Also motivated me to tackle my house and get it ready for the new year. My house is much smaller 1 bed 1 bath.

[@TheSecretSlob]

Thank you 💜💜💜🥰

[@SuperTech59]

Nice job Steph!! The fireplace hack is amazing! I can't believe your little guy is pulling up already!

[@jennyb8788]

So motivational! Thank you. I've started doing the same thing and am doing 1 room a day before Jan. Looking forward to having a much cleaner home for the New Year and getting back on track with Flylady. Your house is beautiful! Have a wonderful Christmas (as much as possible during lockdown 😕) x🎄

[@judymarkel8029]

I am amazed that your furniture is so easy to move. This was fun to watch. I should do this

[@amberanderson2490]

Absolutely needed this video today. Been working on purging and decluttering and now am excited to do a reset of my house!!!

[@rachelgaac]

I needed this! I was doing a basic cleanup in my kitchen this morning and your video came on and I tackled a problem area that has been looming over me. Turned out it wasn’t really so bad.

[@angelhowell5420]

Excited to watch!!! I need to do a reset this week for sure.

[@CanadianParents]

Someone may have already suggested this, but when my kids were little, I put a pillowcase on the back of the chair to make clean up easy. Just toss in your washer with your tea towels when dirty which for our little guy, was every night.

[@jennaalce4016]

Awesome video Steph! Lots of great cleaning motivation 👍👍

[@allisongryski8452]

We had a mouse recently so my kitchen got cleaned to the last inch and having finally gotten my counters tidied from all the clutter, it's so nice to cook and so motivating to return it to that state each evening. The combo of lockdowns plus renovations this year has made so much of our house a mess, so it's really nice to have at least one super clean space. Hopefully over the holidays i can expand to other zones. Thanks for the motivating videos!

[@1960genius]

thank you so much for sharing this. It gives us so much inspiration❣️

[@carolblair8336]

Magic erasers do well on my bathroom floor grout😀

[@jennylhenry78]

Oooh I'll have to give this trick a try!

[@madisonangulo52]

This is good to know! I was wondering what to do for NY cuz i love bringing in the NY with a clean house! I think I missed with the flylady?? This was motivating! Thank you 🙏🏼

[@MelliBibLi]

For real?! You did ALL the Zones at one time??? My Respect! I couldn't do that...it took me three hours today to do deep cleaning in the kitchen and I'm still not done. And I wouldn't say my kitchen is really dirty or cluttered. Just normal "dirty"... Or did I get something wrong? Thank you. You're a sweatheart😘

[@itsacarolbthing5221]

This is what i meant to do over the weekend, but I put my back out on Saturday afternoon. I've managed to get the Christmas tree up, but not decorated. I can't stand up for long. Luckily, there's only me, so no one else is being let down.

[@jenAKnND]

We have the same kitchen table from the same plans that my husband made himself. We love it as well! We’ve been using it for over 5 years now and it’s going strong. My question for you is what do you clean the top of it with? I just use a wet rag but I’m afraid of hurting the wood so I don’t know what else to use but I know it could be cleaner. Thanks, Steph! 😊 Btw, I’m decluttering while I have your videos play in the background. Then when I’m done I go watch the entire thing 🤷🏻‍♀️😉

[@AmandaJYoungs]

I'm in lockdown too in the UK, and doing much the same thing as you! I have specific rooms (bedroom, living room and kitchen) that I'm focusing on, but after that I'll move on to the other rooms if there's time. I'm coming from a cluttered space that's much smaller than yours (you guys are so lucky with all that space around your furniture to breathe in!), but I'm still making progress and find your channel really helpful and encouraging. Thank you for your content!

[@tabathapatterson6565]

Also living in BC and came across your channel by chance while looking for cleaning inspiration. Glad I found you, subscribing for more. P.S. your home is beautiful!

[@kaushalyabajpayee9755]

[@rosywilson3076]

I’m exhausted watching you! But I have germs at the moment. When I’m better I’ll get after my house too 😀

[@suesaur]

I put some screws in the back of the dresser in my kitchen. Then attach a surge protector. Now we have just one cord running to the plug. Every thing else is plugged in behind the dresser. We did the same thing with the buffet that holds our TV and equipment in the livingroom.

[@maxthecat14]

If my house was as lovely as yours, I may enjoy cleaning it more. My Tiny bungalow would fit in your dining room.! I do like to watch other people clean though.

[@ellenward8701]

Dear Steph - thanks for the inspirational motivation of your videos and your generosity re the printouts. Because of you, I have clean sinks and a more manageable cleaning routine. God bless you and your delightful family.

[@EmeryShae]

We’ve been in lockdown for a month and a half now, and honestly, I have lost all motivation for pretty much anything. This was a good boost for me. I definitely have some deep cleaning to do!

[@PuzzlesC4M]

I haven't watched in awhile, and I can tell because my house is messy, and your baby is so much bigger. It was funny when he crawled up to the camera!

who would think that in an age I can watch anything I want, I and 47, 000 others are watching you clean your house? somehow we know it helps clean our house. maybe this is what neighbors used to do for each other.

Hey Steph! Looks blue & chilly outside of your windows... 🌬🕊❄🌡 I live in South Florida and miss the change of seasons. Always look forward to your resets and inspiration. 🌴🌞. 🐝 Happy.

[@chillgamingchannel1283]

wow, i now can't wait for my next property inspection.... XD

[@AZHITW]

I was splitting my husband's pills and one got away from me, it fell in the crack between my stove and counter. Long story short, I landed up cleaning under the stove. I did it a few months back, but I didn't pull the stove out. This time I pulled the entire stove out, cleaned the sides of the stove and cupboards, underneath the stove, and the warming drawer. I feel accomplished! I did the under the refrigerator last month. Happy New Year from Arizona! 🌵🌴🌞

[@naomiu3779]

What brand is your hand held vacuum? Will be moving from a house with a central system and would love a recommendation.

[@maritzatacoronte5801]

what?!!! Why in the world have i NEVER thought of "zone cleaning"

I really need the motivation right now! Thank you❣ Can I fast forward my cleaning so it goes by as quickly as your video? That would be so helpful. 😉

You inspired me to take the covers off our dining chairs to wash them. I think you once said that you and your husband built your dining table....would you be willing to share information about how you did that? Any plans or measurements, what type of wood you used, etc.

Never mind...I paused to type this, then when I unpaused the next thing you said was answering my questions. You have great timing!

Sorry I guess I can’t see! I’m looking for your menu and ingredients for your cleaners. Also can you use your Norwex cloths and mop with your sprays? Thanks Steph. Spent yesterday getting house ready for Christmas and the new year. All my silverware is polished. Big job and looks so nice. I wrapped the cutlery in Saran so they don’t tarnish so quickly.

Thank you Steph for this post!! The algorithm suggested your video to me, and I ended up taking a deep dive into your channel and website.
