Deep Cleaning and Organizing My Entire Apartment *satisfying* 

I think I watch these videos the most because it’s very relatable. The key line was, “now that I have an apartment I have more space than just my room to be messy.” I’m sitting on my couch right now looking at mess and I am downsizing my next apartment because the only thing that more space gives me is more mess right now

CLEAN UP IN EVERY AISLE

Dont put it down, put it away! Thats my mantra and helped me A LOT to be less cluttered/messy all the time

I’m a nonstop cleaner. The biggest thing that will help is the habit of cleaning as go, and also I always do a 10/15 minute tidy before bed. Nothing feels as good as waking up to a tidy house.

Honestly a relief to see other people also struggle with keeping their room/home clean

the camera shots in this video are ON POINT

Jen’s content is so well edited and filmed, it’s like a movie even when she’s just cleaning! Sending love from Vancouver Island!

one way I’ve found to not be overwhelmed and become paralyzed is whenever you feel like you need a tidy 2-3 times a week just set a timer for 10 minutes and whatever you do in those 10 minutes thats it! and it’s your choice if you want to keep going or not for however long. Low pressure and low energy friendly. Definitely on par with atomic habits and building systems.

This what I told my brother who has a hard time cleaning and would just bulk clean like you. Don’t look at the people who obsessively clean because those people distress with cleaning and is their type of relaxation. You need to make a list of things that always get dirty- clothes on the floor, dirty dishes, laundry. Just clean every four days so it won’t pile up. And please buy a real mop or a flat mop and bucket, run some warm water and all purpose cleaner.

I've been very anxious lately, and it's been almost a month since I organized my room... I try to keep it clean because I don't like dirt, but the mess... seems to reflect my mental state a lot. Your video clicked with me and made me start organizing everything, I only managed to organize my wardrobe... but it's okay, little by little I'll be able to do it. Thank you, Jen

Omg not me procrastinating cleaning my apartment by watching this 😅 but something I’ve been TRYING lately is don’t put things down, put them away! And to wash dishes immediately after I eat. I swear it makes such a big difference but I’m always so tired when I come home that it’s hard to keep up. But trying is the key word!!

u are right, making organisation easier will make everything easier. as someone who up until maybe two years ago always struggled to keep my space clean, i can definitely confirm. what really helped me is that i started tracing my steps everytime i made a mess. u need to kinda sit down, identify things that give the most trouble and think of the way to do those things with less amount of steps. like for example u see some clothes on the floor, and u sit down and investigate how did that happened step by step, what u needed to do to put them away and on which step did u give up, and then think what can u do to eliminate as much of those steps as u can. instead of using shelves u can buy a bunch of drawers and just throw ur clothes in there when u don't feel like folding them (it may not look pretty in there but it's better than having clothes on the floor all the time. personally i find hanging clothes easier than folding them, that way u can see everything and u never need to iron them, so almost all of my clothes go on a rail). if u struggle to put away garbage, put some nice garbage bins into every room, then at least if u don't feel like getting up from the couch u can just throw it into the bin right there and then. also u kinda need to make peace with sacrificing aesthetic for the sake of ur mental health. like maybe ur drawers won't look very mari kondo if ur just throw stuff in there but it's till better than the floor. or maybe ur place won't look as minimalist(for the lack of better word) if u invest in more storage space but u gotta do whacha gotta do.

I really love how relatable your content is

Yes yes yes! I can totally relate to the cleaning anxiety. Totally my problem as well.

What you said about the compostable bags is true. There is a specific type of composter that heats up all the material CRAZY HOT, which can break down that bio-plastic that is "compostable". You see this in that bag you used, or sometimes in the form of straws or carry out utensils. But they can only be composted at a facility, not your average compost.

so just an idea but if you wanna keep all the passes and like keepsakes from trips or concerts or whatever you can either find a box for them or display them. If you wanna display them I was thinking maybe you can hang a huge cork board on the wall besides the sofa, the one leading to your bedroom, above wainscoting). I believe you can buy cork board by the meter and frame it however you like to fit your space, I think you can also paint it if you don't like the natural cork color (i think it'll fit the apartment as is but it's up to you), or maybe no frame at all and just cork board the whole thing above the wainscoting. Hope this helps! Because yeah, having a place for literally every small thing ever is what helps you to keep everything organized, you'll keep adding things to your apartment as you live in it, it's what we all do. You need to live in a space to know what it's lacking

the vacuum pov was perfection

You’ve come such a long way since the start of your channel girlie!!! You should be so proud

I absolutely love Jen’s work and her song clean up in aisle 4 I haven’t been able to stop playing it❤❤( also I love ur apartment it’s so Cutee) ❤❤

definitely get a box to keep all the souvenir items in . and you can even decorate it to make it all cute for yourself 🫶✨

currently, its the 12th day being sick , on bed...Thanks Jen , ur videos are relaxing nd brings smile on my face.♥

loved the roach pov

I was able to finally put up my clean clothes because of this video LOL Also! For things like your lanyards - I'm doing just a memory wall-type thing on one of my dorm closet doors. That's something you could always do! Display the lanyards and maybe other trinkets from those events on a wall or door :D

Girl I LOVEEEEEE the love hypothesis and TBOSAS

I'm sure this is said somewhere down in the comments, but for people that may be watching and don't have those compost bags: The compost bags are made with biodegradable plastics - as soon as they get wet they start to decompose! We use them in my province and if the compost doesn't go out one week in the summer months the bag is no longer a bag but tiny little paper-like flakes and within a month they're non-existent 😅 (our sink leaked one summer and humidity under the sink led to us throwing out a box of flakes of what was 50 compost bags ahaha)

finally a realistic cleaning video! thx i dont feel so bad about my mess ✨❤

😊You Just Gave Really Great Advice, To Be ENTERTAINED While Cleaning The Apartment 😃

girl I haven't been here in a MINUTE. you have new hair - looks fabulous btw. i think the last time I watched one of your videos was right after the renovations were finally finished. guess I missed all the furnishing and decorating, but omg it looks AMAZING! also just wanted to say that I was crocheting while watching and having myself a little relaxing time. everyone make time to do something relaxing today :)

i love cleaning and actually enjoy it--i would literally love to be your friend and come over to your condo and just clean

I love her and how she edits her videos 🥹🥹🤍

This was such an amazing watch and it really made me see how I handle the overwhelm when things get a bit too hard for me but also the similar ways I deal with that overwhelm 🥹 I also wanted to say that I didn’t think the dining room area was too bad 😂 yeah it’s nice to all the bits and bobs put in their right places, but I very much love a lived in house 💗 reminds me of my childhood home and I loveeee nostalgia (also I don’t think it took away from your gallery wall at all, it looked beautiful)

Looks great! Definitely helps when things have a place to go. Over the years I've built up certain habits like always folding my clean clothes away. Even if there are unfolded clothes in my wardrobe, I'll soon get them sorted to make the whole space look better. Hope you're able to set up some good routines and habits that help you!

why are you so relatable

As a concert photographer, I have a hook on my wall for all my lanyards and I put a lot of my stickers in a memento box or stick them to my full length mirror from Target

I lived like that when I had depression. But right now I'm doing fine so why I do is always put it away and clean right away (or clean it before i sleep). Eventually it will become a habit that you don't realize you started adapting it and it becomes your routine.

the pots in the living room jesussssss jen

OMGGGG not you wearing Amanda’s merch 😭😭😭soooo cute I can’t

You can get like organizer boxes for your knick knacks/ random small items like your festival passes etc.!! I also use recycle some tissue boxes and use those as a storage box

your video popped up in my recommendations and i'm so glad i watched it, cause this is sooo relatable😭 - like girl, i'm you, you're me, it felt like i was watching myself on youtube😂 tbh i've been suspecting i've adhd for quite some time now and i saw a few comments asking you about it as well.. i guess it's about time to get it checked, if even strangers on the internet can see it lol

Our city does the same thing, so we've made a system of a place where we keep recyclable and compostable items until we can take it to the correct place ourselves. Though, most of our compostables stay in a fertilizer bin for the garden. That's a country luxury though.

Cleaning is good therapy, cleaning and clearing your head and home.

literally the best thing i’ve done for my adhd ass is giving up on folding most of my clothes and just getting bins to separate them within my drawers

Ill come stress clean and organize your apartment. Mine is spotless and I am stressed and need something to clean which is why Im watching this video it give the same kind of dopamine stress-relief

DONT PUT IT DOWN JUST PUT IT AWAY i saw that in a tiktok and it helps me so much :D

Hi, just discovered your channel. Good job at motivating yourself! I am not a nonstop cleaner, I honestly never think about it only vacuum when it’s dirty and deeplclean the floors like once a month… I am not proud about that… BUT everything has a specific place where I put it, so my home gives of the illusion of being tidy. I think that would really help you too.

I think I watch these videos the most because it’s very relatable. The key line was, “now that I have an apartment I have more space than just my room to be messy.”

Great job loading that dishwasher!

Hii !

OMG!!! i love Clean Up in Aisle 4!!!

Your place is soooo gorgeous 🥺❤️ Specially with the golden hour lighting!!!

JEN U NEED A RUG IN YOUR LIVING ROOM!!!! love ur new song btw💜

Unfortunately I am the kind of person with ADHD who is stressed out by clutter, mess and other stuff that fills up my eyeline with visual overstimulation so I do a little bit every day even if it's hard to do so - building little routines so it doesn't turn into an overwhelming mess that I get too tired to tackle. A lot of what has helped me is good organizational stuff that IS visually clear so I have to make sure it "looks good" in order to work and it reminds me I need to do it, but also some tricks like having extra dish bins or trash cans to make throwing away stuff or putting away dishes into the sink.

9:00 her voice is so pretty ❤❤

There are no people that are "natural" cleaners. Cleaning and organization are skills and habits you make whether you were a child when this happened or an adult; it is a skill you learn, not one you are born with. Cleaning is morally neutral it doesn't make you a bad person to have an untidy home. You are already doing so much by tackling this mess every so often. It definitely helps to make dedicated spaces for everything, but remember you will always iterate and optimize over time. I have definitely progressed in my level of cleaning and organization as I have gotten older. Consider yourself as a video game character, you don't learn all your skills at level 1, you learn them as you level up. Don't beat yourself up for being at the level you are when you know you're making progress to level up every year :)

For purely sentimental items from trips, shows, etc you could buy or even make a little memories box to keep them all in. Or, depending on how big the items are, you could buy a shadow box frame to keep them in. 😄

I think next project should be the storage closet, get some shelves from floor to ceiling and maybe racks so you can storage all the things yoy don't have were to put ❤

I bought the ballad of songbirds and snakes a month ago but haven’t gotten to it, I’m hoping to read it soon I’m excited to watch the movie. Also hope they give out pins at the theaters, I know some theaters did that for the original movies but sadly I missed out on that as the ones I went to didn’t I’ve been wanting audible ngl it just makes it so easy to get books in and try books before I decide to purchase in future I will say the thing with organization is once you find a place for everything, getting organizers for areas you feel can be contained better for you to access and put things back, and having the ability to visually separate categories that way, it makes the world of a difference, and allows you to work in those smaller sections It also takes time to build good habits especially with cleaning, I started with small goals like making my bed every morning and trying to reach that every day, and understand I don’t have to be perfect but if I get this small thing done it helps me feel accomplished that I did something in the day. Then I move on to other stuff, taking my vitamins, cleaning my bedside table of food and drinks from the night before, doing skincare and putting it away as I go, putting clothes from day before in hamper, and just work on one goal at a time and eventually I stack up good habits, and if I ever need I start one task at a time, and focus on starting rather than perfection As a current student that took a long break before studying again, that structure with when you are going to school physically or have that online accountability with attending classes, and then finding yourself forgetting and not being as productive now that you dictate your own schedule and time, is so real, I’ve been reading and watching a lot about habits and study techniques that can be applied too, atomic habits has been on my want to read list for a while I also love those flowers in your dining room, wow ! Your new hair suits you really well too love the color and wispy bangs which Ive been debating getting i feel like it would help me put more time in looking put together and would let me easily look a little more put together

You could also try decaf and / or mix with fully caffeinated

You are absolutely fantastic❣️❣️❣️

OMG, haven't even started the video but I know it's gonna be good🎉

12:42 Hi if I can give you some advice, you can do to a to do list before starting. Like that you’ll just have a program to follow and you won’t stress about what you’ll have to do each time fou finish something. For me it really helps a lot :)

Omggg I had the same fabric glue that had the same ‘tumor’ I think the bottle just isn’t super tight but it’s so funny you had the same thing happen!

One good advice I got is “don’t put it down, put it away” and it really helps!

I do not understand that much people who is messy. I understand that sometimes people is busy and forget to organize things they buy. I am someone that always put away something back in its rightful places. Throwing wrappers and trash in the small trash can bin I have at home. It bothers me a bit if things is messy and not in order. I just stack up and put away my things in a organized way.

Wow I totally need to deep clean my room now like for real been sick lazy sore those are my excuses

she is so me I am a subscriber but I don't consistently watch but after watching this video I think that is about to change cause I really enjoyed this video

Yesss, I'm here! Love your videos, Jen! 💕💕

10/10 motivation (even tho its hella messy again after 5 hours)

the thing with the "compostable" bags is the fact that yes it is compostable, but all mass production composting methods have a pretty fast process which is okay with plants and food but with these bags, there is not taken enough time for them to compost

GIRL, I KNOW THIS IS GONNA BE ME WHEN I LIVE ALONE 😂 Thank you for showing this part of your life 💕

It was SO satisfying that I may rewatch it xD but omg the anxiety in the "befores"... haha I hate mess

Love your satisfying cleaning routine! ❤

Girl your souvenirs are a necessity to LIFE. I'm sure we all know a DIY queen who can make a wall hanging shelf thingy for collectables😊

Just beautiful 😍 Love the way you tackled this! I am a new fan 💖

I love the vacuum POV 😂

A tip that you can do is clean 1 room everyday or just dedicate the whole weekend to cleaning up everything And wash your pots, pans, cooking spoons while you're cooking (clean as you go) that way when you're done cooking you only have the dishes that you're eating in to wash... also wash them as soon as you're done eating.

ahhhhhhhh I love your cleaning videossss

I think the biggest issue with keeping the kitchen clean is your bin size doesn’t fit the amount of takeout you consume. It’s not greasy or anything you just run out of room in your bin and leave it on the counter

The way I clean is chaotic , I'm the type of person that tries to do everything really quickly especially eat because I always have this feeling that it'll be my last day on earth so I gotta get the most things done as possible, and when cleaning I always run around the house to get to different rooms quicker, which gives me a workout and an excuse to sit on the couch for the rest of the day.

It was soo satisfying 😊

Pleeeeaaasssseeeee make more diy presents 🎁!!!!

so the best method I learned for my home that everything and I really mean EVERYTHING in your apartment needs a place to be. if its not having a place you will just constantly rotate putting it in new places, loosing it etc. I ask myself innthat cases: should I buy a new shelf for you or do I really need you. Like, is it worth it yk.

You are so beautiful🤩 love you’re hair❤

not her abusing the couch pilllows😭😭 i love you!!!

I tidy once a day in the mornings and do one deep cleaning task a day. If I had a job I’d tidy at night and do the deep cleaning all in one day of the week. I really like your apartment, it’s really cute, I need to catch up on your makeovers

How are your bowls getting cleaned in the dishwasher if they’re stacked back to back?!

I relate on the dot. Thank you

Just stop talking and clean the dang house.😂😂😂 You are killing me. My OCD is on overdrive.😂😂😂❤

I love this sm!

There are different methods and levels of compost.. so you just need to check to see what level your city provides.. out city lists what kind of bags will compost with the type of compost they use.

making is a series! altering 50 pieces of clothes

Its the 2 minute rule for me. Everything that can be organized/ done in under two minutes, I'll do it right away. I promise, it safes so much time, because little things dont add up and take ages to sort trough.

I keep a shoe box for all the lil memories I collect over the years!! You should try the same

I have a box for sentimental things and i just throw everything in it 😂

Two thing one you should do a live sometime!!! Two Christmas decorating video just s9me ideas byeeeee

I stress clean...even when I am sick and should just sleep/rest it off. It is exhausting lol

Big mood

I find that soon as one thing isn’t put away in a room I’ll continue to repeat and not put my other things away. But usually that happens Cus I’m lazy or the item didn’t have a home. So just gotta work on that

Cordless vaccuum would be fun to use

drawers and shelves full of different products Jen: Not much here
