HOW TO KEEP A CLEAN HOME | CLEAN LIKE A PROFESSIONAL | CLEANING MOTIVATION  

Hey everyone that’s coming in new to the comments on this video. PSA🗣️ I KNOW WHAT THE ATTACHMENTS ARE FOR ON THE BAG ORGANIZER💕💕💕 It’s about 100 comments here about it already. But thank you so much… you’re lovely☺️

I really value how you said there shouldn’t be “down time” when cleaning because there’s always something to be done.

I am a new viewer too. I watched this one video and am hooked. I worked full time for 47 years. I, too, have neglected inside of my home, because I was mentally exhausted by the end of the day. I lost my elderly mother in 2001, and was in charge of everything. After a year, I was starting to declutter. Then my significant other was diagnosed with cancer December 2002. Taking him to his treatments last Winter & sitting at the hospital from May until he passed in July 2023. Being in mourning took a toll on me, and I have just started to take a lot to Good Will. It’s a daunting task now, but I am going to get this done! God sent your RU-vid video to me when I really needed it. I will be following your channel! Thank you. You are a blessing in my life.

I don't like to clean, but I tell myself "I deserve to live in a clean home" and that is my motivation

Most people have too much stuff so it’s impossible to keep it looking sharp. I’m doing a huge declutter for that reason. So satisfying.

the house looks like heaven, the light, the peace, a refuge. I'm trying to clean my house, old disabled, live alone & don't want to pay someone. The atmosphere of her home is healing, like her voice.

I am disabled and it’s a little depressing not to be able to clean and organize my home. I am facing multiple joint replacement surgeries in the next few years; my goal is to walk again. If that is God’s will for my life, when I can walk again, unassisted, the first thing I will want to do is clean and organize my home. Your tips are an invaluable inspiration for me. Thank you for this video!

Great tips! I don't have a "regular cleaning schedule" I do things as needed and as I go. I am a true believer in taking 30 minutes to an hour every day to do something around the house to avoid that dreadful "heavy cleaning".

I absolutely respect you for your hard work and for raising your grandson. I was raised by my grandparents. You and your husband are amazing people!

I love how you move intentionally and methodically through your tasks. It's almost like a full-body meditation. You have a beautiful (and, yes, CLEAN :)) home!

The best thing about maintaining a clean home is minimal clutter.

Do the dishes, make your bed, put clothes out to the laundry, do a load of laundry and day, take out the trash each morning, put mail/papers away, swish and swipe bathrooms. You keep a beautiful home. 😌 Nice video, I enjoyed watching. 😊

My goal is to get up by 6am on the days I don't go to work. I find it helps me stay on top of my cleaning and self care.

Hi Stephanie. 72 year year old Grannie from South Australia here. Just found your channel tonight. I want to congratulate you on such a basic housekeeping instruction video. I struggled all my life with the most basic elements of housecleaning. After years of battling with prioritizing I must say that you address that perfectly. New subscriber. Keep up the good work.

I change my trash everywhere daily. I never leave trash in my house overnight. I have too put a clean trash bag in my house before I go too bed.

I have looked for good cleaning videos for months and yours popped up. Please continue to do these because I loathe cleaning (though I love the end results). Your calm demeanor helped me to relax and I was able to push through!

I love your attitude, Stephanie, about loving your home and showing it by keeping it tidy and clean. Your presentation is enjoyable and I appreciate your matter of fact approach in talking about how you clean so thoroughly. There’s always work to be done, so accepting this and not dreading it and actually enjoying it and seeing quick results is so positive. Thank you for your inspiring work!

What a wonderful sentiment! Cleaning is just loving your home.

I’m a cleaner as well- and love cleaning videos. I’ve watched tons and this content is 10/10! I love the voiceover (so I can listen while I work/clean) and your strategy is spot on. Thank you for the work you put into this!

❤ a clean and organized home is a calm home 😂....staying on top of cleaning keeps from having to spend hours at one time ❤❤❤ I too spent 32 years cleaning other's homes...it was a joy that let me work the hours that my son was in school ❤

I so agree with you. I make my bed every day and wash my sheets every 10 days to two weeks. I put things away constantly because it really bugs me to see clutter anywhere. Blinds all properly opened and in the same direction is so important. Hide zippers and tags: Wonderful! You are an expert and your home shows it. Great video.

Hi! Just found your channel. Wow! You are my hero! I’m recently retired from a too long career of being a nurse. My home has been neglected for sometime and now I feel overwhelmed. But watching your calm way of cleaning from top to bottom and maintaining the clean has inspired me to new energy. Thank you. I will be a faithful watcher. BTW, thanks for not having silly songs and time limits, ect., as some home care shows have. Have a blessed day. 😊

You explain in such a calm, easy manner...Much appreciated! God Bless you and your family 🙏🏼💟

You have a beautiful home and you keep it up so nicely. Thank you for the cleaning motivation

When I used to clean houses the first thing I did was make the bed. I would then go around and pick things off the floor and place it on the bed this made it easier to sort through things. Making the bed makes the whole room feel and look cleaner.

Mama of 9 here & I don't know how I got here, but I'm glad I'm here. Cleaning everyday is a must in our home. Sometimes, I feel like I can't get to everything before having to redo something, especially when the children are on school break! There's something about the grace and love in which you make your way around your home. Thank you for sharing. It's a peaceful and inspiring method. Off I go to lovingly make my way around my home as well. Blessings to you and yours.

I absolutely love to clean so I had to subscribe immediately lol. I love a clean home as well but it just gets so tiring when I have to clean multiple times a day. Especially when you have adults staying in the home and no one likes to clean behind themselves smh, but I love a clean and organized home.

How refreshing it is see someone that actually knows how to make a bed. Some of the other youtubers that do cleanining/tidying videos, never pull the wrinkles out of the sheets. They do not touch the bottom sheet, just pull the top sheet up, wrinkles and all and then throw the spread over the top. Why?! I don't understand it. Great video.

Your home looks so clean and inviting. I had cancer a few years ago, and was unable to do much of anything. Then of course the pandemic followed. I got a little down from the isolation, etc. I am now in the process of cleaning and decluttering. Your video helps to show me the way to having a clean house again. Thank you.♥️

Your house is lovely, a beautiful retreat! Thank you for sharing the routine housekeeping tips. Your professional experience in addition to the years of cleaning your own home, gives me complete confidence in your advice. Thank you, and I look forward to learning more from your videos.

I agree, there’s no down time when you are home. I also believe that all the little things have to be cleaned and fixers as well. Love a clean home. Your home is your sanctuary 🙏

First time your vlog has come up on my RU-vid, and I totally enjoy the way you approach keeping your beautiful home clean and tidy. Carter is a lucky little boy, and will learn valuable neatness lessons from his Grandma! PS, you have a new subscriber today...ME!! 😊

Thank you for reminding me how lazy I’ve been! Your home is beautiful and you’ve inspired me to get up off my rear end and get busy! 😊

From watching the begining of the video I can already see why her house looks so clean. She has no clutter. The old saying less is more. When you have less just around your house it makes the place bigger and inviting. Very nice!

I appreciate that while you began your video you also were demonstrating cleaning…opening curtains, making your bed, etc. I am not too crazy about cleaning videos that the person speaks just sitting there for the first half of the video, and then they demonstrate a few things. Thank you for demonstrating your working routine while you talk. Best use of time. I learn that way best!

I recently moved with my mom to another state. Our house wasnt as clean as I would have liked. My mom has since died and I am by myself in a larger house than I have lived in and I am doing a lot of the things you suggest in my new place. The real key is keeping it up. There is always something to do to keep the house looking good. It is really a lifestyle change to keep things put away and clean. But once you get the habit of picking up and cleaning you feel so good. Thanks for this video.

You are an inspiration😊and I thought of the Proverbs Chapter 31 woman while you were teaching. Love the way you are caring for your grandson too. God bless!! So many practical tips- thanks!!

I love your shirt, “Maybe Monday doesn’t like you either!” Very cute. Your house is gorgeous too, and your advice for making furniture polish out of Murphy’s Oil Soap and water in a spray bottle, among others, was new for me!

Well… you are speaking my language Ms Stephanie!stumbled on your video and immediately subscribed, not because I need to know what and how to clean, or how to clean it’s my National pastime! I live alone after 42 yrs of marriage and house full of children and not all were my own! And I cooked and cleaned 24/7 365 and held a professional full time job. Cleaning is my jam, it relaxes me and having a clean, organized well maintained home is so very important. Honestly watching ppl. Clean is so therapeutic for me. Your clients are very fortunate to have you maintain their homes

I am 76 and clean every day because my home is very large. If I miss a day I feel like I get behind. I don’t need to exercise because cleaning is exercise.

Its been 2 mins ..and i already love ur channel

First time viewer. I am domestically challenged. I'm going to watch this over a few times, just to really get this in my head and start better habits. Thanks. 😊

Stephanie, I now wipe down everything before putting it back in the cupboards/wardrobes/pantries etc. I cannot believe how fresh everything is starting to look, just with a simple wipe down with a damp cloth and a bit of all purpose cleaner on it.. Idk why I never did it before. Everything is sparkling. Some of the bottles/containers didn't even look dirty and they still came out different, and others I couldn't believe how oblivious I was to the dirt stuck on. You're changing my life and my home, slowly but surely. Thank youuuuu so so much. I think a damp cloth will be permanently with me at all times 😂♥️ also, I'm still noticing more and more stuff that needs to be cleaned and I do so much extra cleaning everyday. My step count is at 13,000 on the daily.

I’m glad I found your channel ❤. I used to help my mom clean houses from when I could walk and I work really hard to keep a neat home. I was always one to clean my house before my cleaning lady was scheduled to come. I always make sure all the trash is out, the toilets are clean and that there are no dishes that need to be done- I’m very OCD, haha! Your home is beautiful and your advice is so helpful!

Man, I admire you so much. You've inspired me to TRY to do something in my front rooms, which are used for hobbies, storage, sleeping, watching TV, reading, playing music, you name it. You can imagine what a mess it is. THANKS for the inspiration! Annette

The zips go into the vertical or horizontal slots, depending on which way you're holding the box, to cut the saran wrap or foil.

You are so clean!! I love that. The zip things that came with your ziploc bag holder is for the foil and plastic wrap. You attach where the aluminum and plastic pull out so you can cut. This video is old so I’m guessing you have already figured that out. Lol! Thanks for the tips!

Hi, first time watching your video, I'm so happy you spoke of clutter. If a house has to much, one can't clean!!!

Found you today, so glad that I did! You’re very motivational, practical and encouraging. I decluttered and swept my laundry room which was such a mess. And decluttered and fully cleaned our main bath. Still lots to do to catch up, I’ve really fallen off in the past few weeks and it shows terribly. About to work more on my kitchen - stove/oven broke a few days ago, and it’s become a disappointing place for me. Thank you for your video - you have a new subscriber.

I am so glad I found your videos!! YOu have a beautiful home and everything has a place! I have got to declutter! YOu are a inspiration and thank you!! Blessings!

I think the zipper pieces snap into the grooves to become the cutter for your foil and plastic wrap. 😊

New to your channel! I'm a wife & special needs mom of 4 with 2 pets. Keeping up with the cleaning is always a task for me. We recently moved into our 1st house & I've been working hard at keeping things tidy. We have 5 bedrooms, 3 floors, & 2 bathrooms 😩 Currently watching your videos as I clean lol

I used to be an awesome home maker; but between kids, dogs, and my failing health, I fell way behind. Like burn it to the ground and start again behind. I’m starting to feel well again and overwhelmed at the same time. Your videos have inspired me to put the matches down and get to work!

When busy and short on time, focusing on keeping those high traffic areas clean makes a huge difference in the feel of cleanliness of the home. ie: Every evening before bed, loading and running the dishwasher, clearing the counters, wiping them down, and quickly running the vacuum over the floors, with a final removal of the trash bin sets us up for a less chaotic morning getting off to work. ❤ Can you tell us your favorite cleaning products? I'm interested in the glass cleaner you used for the mirrors. Thanks so much!

Your home is beautiful.

Brand new viewer here! This video is SO GOOD!! Coming from a professional housekeeper of 15 years, I wish more people could watch this! So well done and I agree with everything you’ve said and suggested in this video. Following you for sure!

I love your house! You are WAY better at cleaning and decorating than me but I'm learning.

You have a lovely home. Just looking at it motivates me to get up and get busy.

I’m 70 years old now and it’s really hard for me to do deep cleaning. I clean as I go and keep stuff put away but……I would love to find somebody to help with the weekly and monthly cleanings. I don’t have animals either. Can’t handle the hair…….and the smell especially!! Love how you clean……and how your house is so immaculate! 😍

Just found your station. Really like how are giving suggestions. Your home is beautiful. I live in a town house and my space is a disaster. Had major surgery this summer also and empty nester. Just have such sadness and having difficulty getting this under control.

I love this. I love that you mention you need to have your home in a state of organization first. I have battled for years to keep on top of everything and have never felt like a clean person. It took me so much effort to get the basic stuff done that only once every few months would anything more get done (like dusting, cabinet fronts, showers et cetera. Which i am not proud of. Recently i have been listening to podcasts by "the minimalists" and its helped me so much to get around the psychology of why i keep things in my home that make my life hard and to do some serious decluttering. Im proud of myself for having got rid of 10 garbage bags of donations in the last few weeks as well as even more "garbage" (not literal trash just non donatable items that aren't in perfect condition) and i feel so light, organised, tidy and free. I woudlnt dread company showing up (though i still do need to do the initial big cleans for things like walls, high dusting, windows, baseboards, deep cleaning linoleum and so on. I have my bathroom fit for maintenance cleans now and do a morning and evening wipe down. I have 4 cats, 4 sons and 2 dogs so i really do have to clean a lot. A lot more than i have been. Everyones always had clean litter trays, clean food bowls and water fountains, and clean bedding and couches. Id like to be able to pull my vacuum out daily or get a Roomba which would be a dream. Thanks for inspiring me.

Just found tour video today ...loved all of it...i need this inspiration..things have been slipping around here im recovering from cancer..and my energy level is not what it used to be...but you have given me the inspiration i needed..❤

Exactly who and what is in the home. Organize and clean daily regular as you go. Clothes pick up organize n wash every 3 days. Daily Dishes, trash and wipe off. Toilets as needed depending on activity and Showers. Weekly deep clean base boards, doors and refrig. Etc

Love this! I am a professional house cleaner (17 years now) and I LOVE what I do, but my house is NOT up to snuff. 😒I can check all the boxes. Four adults living in the home, one 2-year old, one dog, one cat, all 4 bathrooms being used regularly, lots of laundry, and too much stuff in this house! I even clean for people with too much stuff and find it suffocating but apparently I'm a hypocrite! 😢 Your video was inspiring and grounding, and I LOVE how detailed you are, thank you! ❤

I have always put my pillows in label first like you do, as I’ve had many people say to me that I’m “being obsessive”. And I love Murphy’s oil soap for taking care of my wood furniture and kitchen cabinets. Love your attention to detail!,❤

I just watched my first video of yours. This one. I love it. I shared it on Facebook. ❤

Your channel must be a great channel because everything is ¨real¨ and not perfect. So much congratulations!! I loved it! Thank you. You must have heard it a lot I image it.

Hello! You just popped up for me! These are the best tips for housekeeping. Your home looks so lovely and relaxing. Thank you!

Hi Stephanie I really appreciate this vlog . Im kinda OCD and always cleaning and rearranging stuff. These tip’s really helps. Your home is always beautiful and very clean. Thanks for sharing these tips. Much love 🥰

Great video and tips… my mother gave her daughters advice…set a timer for one hour and everyone to be given an area in the home to clean and do it on Thursday.. That way you have Friday and the weekend free to enjoy or relax..and flip your mattress spring and fall and don’t forget to vacuum your mattress every month..

Trick for the bathroom... countertop...use a tray to keep all the bathroom/haircare products ect on 💜

It’s so very hard with 4 kids, 3 of which are under 4yr. New subbie here, I’m hoping to learn some new tips and tricks.

Loved the video! I believe those little zip things that came with your plastic bag organizer are for cutting plastic wrap and wax paper or parchment paper. If you buy a large industrial size box of those products, they will usually come with that type of cutter that you just pull across the sheet where you want to cut it.

Wow!! You have a gorgeous home Mrs. Stephanie!!!😍🔥

I am new and glad I found you! I am a person that looove a clean and organized home. I love seeing that I am the only one that believes you should do something in your home everyday.

I’m a new viewer as well! I really enjoyed your video and found it very relaxing. I like how you just take your time and don’t rush through your cleaning. Sometimes I feel I rush through to get done. You remind me that it’s best to do a thorough job in one area and then move on. Can’t wait for more videos!

This is so timely for me, thank you very much ma'am...Loved the emphasis on the cleaning as you go when cooking and there's always something to clean!

I have a regular cleaning time each morning for a half hour before work to tidy, do dishes for the day, make the bed, do laundry and usually I can fit in another chore (cleaning a bathroom, mopping etc.). Then I use weekends for any other deep cleaning I missed (and cleaning bedding etc.). Cleaning makes me feel successful for the day and it's so nice to come home to a tidy house!

Informative, motivational...and utterly charming. Really enjoyed cleaning with you in your lovely home.

Loving the professional cleaning tips and the motivation you bring. Keep these fantastic videos coming, and thanks for making the cleaning process so much more enjoyable! 🏡💖

I will say one thing right off the bat! Your design style is beautiful and simplistic and is easier to clean many peoples' homes who have way too much furniture and just regular clutter. Also, love the red in your house style because it's a pop of color that doesn't leave one depressed. The more I declutter and set up stuff for specific things like say all vacuums/floor cleaning supplies, etc. in one place, it saves me from searching for stuff and makes the task quick. Anyways, love your video and love your home!!!!!

I just subscribed! So thankful that the algorithm brought me to your channel.

Great video. Your home is beautiful. I appreciate all of your tips. I definitely believe in making the beds every morning 😊

Your home is beautiful and your cleaning tips are fabulous!!!! I’m glad RU-vid recommended you! Following now!! ❤️

Hey sis , I just found your channel, what a delight. If you will go to a dollar store purchase the smallest trash bags that they have , clean your toilet brush out place the smallest trash bag into the toilet brush cup. And put the brush in the cup.❤😊

You have a very beautiful home. Good video, thanks for sharing your tips.

My house is a lot like yours and I love cleaning too. I love my house looking like a magazine too. One thing I recently did was I got a small shelf in my primary bathroom and a few cute baskets to wrangle my products in my bathroom and the visual clutter is reduced and now my bathroom vanity is clear of all the bottles and tubes

Whew! I thought I was the only one that 'rubbed my hand" across the countertop. LOL I also bend down to get an eye level view to get a visual. You are my cleaning sister!!! Thank you for this great video with awesome tips and reminders! I sure wish you were in my area!!!

My house is super clean and organized I’m glad I’m not the only one who loves cleaning we are many 😅 I’m not crazy

I watched this instead of a movie lol. You do a lot of things I thought no one did that made me proud. I loved a lot you said mins the tub cleaning then same rag on the counter. With sheet changing we shed a lot of dead skin every single day so every two wks won’t work for me. Then that pillow in your sons bed was so flat 😂. But I’m subscribing everyone is different but overall I am super motivated and look forward to more of your videos!❤

Excellent video. I love to run my home on a tight tidy ship as well. I must say you are inspiring. Keep doing what you do ♥

Hi girl, I like your cleaning tips. It helped me a lot. I even took notes. Your home looks beautiful. I can see why you like a clean home. Then if someone comes over it’s already looking nice. I’m starting with your tip tonight. To clean the mirror and sink after brushing. Already was doing dishes. I can’t wait to watch more. Learned a lot . Stay safe. God Bless and family too!! Xo 😘 💗

I really appreciate videos like this. I bought my first home 5 months ago and noone ever really taught me to clean properly so it's been a learning experience and I am so determined to keep my home clean. I love having a clean clutter free home.

I realize that I have been living life in a constant state of PTSD, now that I am in a better place mentally and emotionally I want have a clean and beautiful space… but it’s so much I don’t know where to start! This helps though… thank you 😊

I *HAVE* to clean on a schedule because I’m lazy. Giving myself instructions motivates me. From small tasks like taking out the trash and watering my plants to big jobs like washing windows and cleaning the refrigerator, *every single task* is on a schedule. A few things work in my favor: 1. I like entertaining. 2. Shoes are not allowed in my house. 3. I don’t have carpet. 4. I don’t have pets. One thing works against me: 1. I am a maximalist. There’s a lot of stuff in my house so I have to do a lot of dusting.😭

Thanks Stephanie G. I’m cleaning now. I let it get out of hand and trying to get this house in order. ❤😊 New subscriber today.

I’m a new subscriber. I love your phrase “loving on your home”. It’s frustrating to clean and then see it dirty in no time ,but loving on your home does put a new light on the it. Thank you.

OMG! Stephanie, you are so good at this. I am about half way through this video but had to pause and write this comment. I do almost everything you’re doing and learning some new things. You’re very inspiring, well spoken and above all organized. I wish that all housekeepers would watch this video as a tutorial. Unfortunately, so many housekeepers that I’ve hired in the past don’t know what they’re doing. I am glad that I stumbled on this video. I did subscribe to your channel and can’t wait to watch more videos. Thank you Stephanie!

I just found your channel and the timing was wonderful. I am now retired, and now I can devote real time and energy to take pride in my home and in keeping it clean. I always felt so inadequate about my home and how it was not organized and cleaned as well as I wanted it to be. Earlier years, while working full time, being a single mom, I enjoyed everything as much as possible, but I always felt a shame in my mind because my home was not what it should have been. For now, I do have pets, but having the time to clean has made such a difference. And videos like yours, teach and remind us that an established process actually saves us time. Your home is lovely, and I thank you for sharing your knowledge. Have an awesome week and holiday season!😀🥰

This was such a great video Sis!!! You keep on going bc you’re growing!!!!😊💪🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽
