Today I'm sharing some of my quick tips for keeping a clean + tidy home. One of my favorite mottos is that "Clean is Free" and by simply owning less, creating homes for everything, and implementing habits for keeping your home clean you never have to get to the point of frustration and overwhelm. Keeping a tidy home blesses those that live in it-- there is less clutter and less stress.

I do some of these things and my husband says that I must have OCD...glad to know it is normal. I am no neat freak, I just want a livable home.

@lizadivine3785 3 года назад

My mother always cooked amazing meals...roasted chickens, roasts, potatoes always potatoes. She and my dad would (I know it’s icky but this was the 60’s and 70’s) would have a cigarette over after dinner coffee. Then BAM my mother was up attacking the dishes. She hated anything in her sink! I miss them so much... but I must say tradition lives on...my kitchen is my castle and it’s clean!

@laurieg6416 3 года назад

Thank you for pointing out the difference between tidy and clean. I have a cleaning service every 2 weeks to handle the scrubbing, and sometimes people ask why I straighten up before they come. They think I'm embarrassed or something. But I point out that I'm paying them to clean, not tidy. And it's hard to clean with toys on the floor, food on the counters, etc. I learned this one time when I had let unopened mail build up, and I saw one of the ladies dusting my mail. Now that was embarrassing.

@OldWorldHome 3 года назад

Growing up my family had a cleaning service, I have no idea how often they came, but being one of 8 kids we were always annoyed my mom had us tidy before they came... now I understand!! 😅

@annw1395 3 года назад

Many RU-vidrs have videos showing them dashing around their houses, madly tidying and cleaning. Every room they go into is messy-- but which could have been avoided if they had just put away their bathroom items once they had used them, or thrown their dirty clothes in the hamper instead of onto the floor, or carried their dirty dishes back to the kitchen. It only takes 2 seconds to do it at that moment, but it turns into an hour or more of work later on. That one-minute rule has helped me out immensely.

@debbieholt8261 3 года назад

Well put! And Every member of the household should learn to do this. It shouldn’t all fall on the Mom to come behind them and pick up.

@joannevans4169 3 года назад

You’re absolutely right. I’m constantly putting away things and tidying up and it’s so worth it. I could never just leave the messes out in each room and then have to face that chaos before cleaning. How depressing!

@evied.4475 3 года назад

You have so much common sense! I’m 67 so I don’t have little ones to pick up after but I’m trying to declutter everything bit by bit. I’ve got a long way to go but I want so badly to have a neat and tidy house. Yours is beautiful!

@yeahthatsright2614 3 года назад

Less, is the secret. It truly works.

@marymartinez8047 3 года назад

We have similar habits but I, as always, picked up a couple new tips to try out! A tip to share: I start with hot, soapy water in my sink whenever I begin a meal or baking and clean in those tiny free moments. Makes after meal cleanup much easier.

@ehodge54 Год назад

Great habits for sure. Some I've been doing for years. My biggest cleaning problem is dust, it's never ending, lol.

@pennyadams2865 3 года назад

I love your idea of using old towels for rags. When we were first married, 37 years ago, my mother was over and my husband was in the driveway getting ready to wash his car. Mom looked down and he had one of our wedding gifts, a monogramed hand towel, ready to use to wash the car. My mom gasped and asked him if he had an old rag to use instead. He replied, "Well, how do you get rags if all the stuff is new?" We still get a laugh out of this! We have plenty of old rags now! Love your channel and all your helpful hints!

@ramonasurprenant2122 3 года назад

If you use vinegar in your Keurig, be sure to change the water filter afterward: the filter retains the vinegar and will affect your coffee.

@juliacockroft8745 3 года назад

Some very good suggestions. I would add, have the children help tidy up through out the day and a few minutes before bath time. It develops good habits and teaches them to be responsible for their own possessions and actions.

@OldWorldHome 3 года назад

Yes absolutely ❤️

Two Minute Tidy: go into every room of the house each day and do a Two Minute Tidy... Kids: teach them when they are young and able, to clean up after themselves...good habits start at a young age!

@marlanebraun5635 3 года назад

excellent advice/tips! i like "little" things on tables or book shelves. i have no small children coming to the house so i don't worry. didn't worry even when my kids were wee ones...just taught them. but now that i am older, i don't always see things as cute or homey...they look a little more like clutter. aches and pains are enough as you age, but the little things to dust or polish...just a bit much now. again, you are inspirational.

Plus baking soda is sold in bulk. I buy it in 12 lb ziploc bag. So nice to always have it as I use for many purposes in house and with laundry.

Great video. As I get older I need more calm and order in my surrounds. At home this means less stuff, fewer colours and more frequent 'little cleans/tidy ups' rather than bigger cleans. Stay safe and best wishes from Australia 🤗

I purchased the rack for the bottom of my sink from the sink company. GAME CHANGER! Keeps your sink amazingly scratch free! You can also put very hot pots down on them without any worry.

@sandraskalnik2369 3 года назад

I was so excited to hear your tip for removing stubborn stains with the dish detergent, peroxide and vinegar mixture. I spilled dark cola on an extremely expensive placemat and shout would not budge it. It was so expensive because I had to order a set of 4 that cost $86. Everything in my kitchen was new and loosing that placemat was ruining the new decor. Guess what, the stain came out!!!!!! The new placemats were on back order and I was able to cancel the order. You are my hero. I am going to recruit as many subscribers for you as I possibly can.

@OldWorldHome 3 года назад

Oh that’s so great to hear, enjoy them!!

@gloriaperez2782 3 года назад

100% agree about the bed. It’s like keeping the sink clean in the kitchen. The bed is the sink equivalent in the bedroom and the desk is the equivalent in the office.

@athomewithshushana 3 года назад

I always love all of your tips and tricks. I don't buy cleaning cloths as often I do use old t-shirts and cut up my older towels for cleaning cloths as well as wash rags, it works for us as well. I am a stickler for a clean and tidy home especially my kitchen and bathrooms. I do the toilet tissue scent thing as well it is so great and refreshing. When I used paper towels I did it with that as well. Great tips friend. Tfs

@anniecharlotte4469 3 года назад

@laurielyon1892 3 года назад

I have finally this year figured out a cleaning plan that works for me. I totally agree with when you have less stuff sitting out it makes cleaning so much easier-less things to move. I used to ignore how people would say, make your bed every day-now that I do, I understand the difference it makes. I don’t buy expensive cleaning clothes either. I use my towels and old wash cloths for that. Great tips! Also for me, since I’m a list maker, it really helps me to make a to do list either the night before or in the morning so I can check things off. Keeps me on track for the day.

@OldWorldHome 3 года назад

Lists are excellent motivators, as well as inviting people over 😅

@debbieholt8261 3 года назад

Sometimes you have to watch your kids. I’ve seen some kids (or Dad), try something on and decide not to wear it and instead of hanging it “Back Up”, they just drop it into the hamper! Once you have your children start doing their own laundry, you find that stops that lazy habit right away! Just saying.....

I have been watching your channel for some time. GREAT JOB!!! I am a retired teacher, inspired and encouraged by you... having a chance to be a homemaker/mommy again, as we just accepted a "kinship placement." I always struggled to keep a clean tidy house while teaching school, and now I have a chance to live my dream, still pouring into the next generation. May I do as well as you, in caring for my home, and YES frugality is always an issue, because- it is our habit to strive for savings or investment. To have savings or investments we must pinch pennies. WAY to GO! Keep up the good work! You are an amazing lady !!! Thank you for sharing with youtube!

If you have a cordless Dyson vacuum you shouldn’t use baking soda to clean carpets. When I had problems with my machine I rang Dyson and was told that the fine powder will eventually ruin the motor. I love all your tips I try to do the same as you every day

@michelleb6395 3 года назад

Susan Holding, I came here to say the same. Dyson told me baking soda could ruin my vacuum. This is the case for most, if not all vacuums. Only shopvacs should be used for this.

Yes, I was told that when I had commercial machines serviced. The guy told me all those scented powders to freshen your carpet kept him in business.

I’m interested to know your way of doing laundry. Can you make a video showing how you separate your types of clothes? Do you lump in towels with regular clothing or what about cleaning rags?

@OldWorldHome 3 года назад

I only separate heavily soiled things like rags or dirty work pants from my husband and wash them on hot by themselves. Otherwise I wash most other things together, towels and cloth napkins separate. We don’t own much that’s white so most of our clothing can be washed together.

@nerdykittyxo 3 года назад

The baking soda and any carpet powders can actually be really bad for real carpet and vacuum cleaners. Spraying a little alcohol or cheap vodka is better to freshen up carpet.
