10 Cleaning Hacks for Seniors or anyone for an easier job!

Hacks for anyone physically challenged, limited mobility, seniors - even LAZY PEOPLE to make cleaning easier, more efficient and productive.

I'm 75 (almost) my cleaning hack is after I clean the kitchen in the evening, I pick out one drawer or one shelf in the kitchen empty, declutter, clean, and refill. It takes about 67 days to complete the whole cycle then I start over again. BUT (there always a but) after a while your shelves and drawers will pretty much stay organized so you can skip a drawer/shelf and catch it the next time around. Sunday is my day of rest; I try to do nothing constructive except eat and clean up afterwards.

The world won't stop if you don't keep up with the cleaning EVERY day. Sunday is a great day to rest, reflect, watch that world go by, enjoy your friends and family.

Thank you. I was told several years ago, "You don't have to do everything at once". Best advice. One clean chore a day good advice. Cleaning seems endless.

What a great find! I am 71 almost 72. I live in a mobile home. I suffer from many chronic health issues, and am awaiting the same neck and back surgeries as your husband had. I am thrilled to find a senior Christian person to bring an older perspective to YouTube. Bless you and I look forward to viewing your videos.

Hi Linda, I just came across this video and really enjoyed it. I just turned 69 and I too have arthritis. When you talked about food scraps in the garbage, I decided to share what I've been doing for a couple of years. I save white and blue plastic bags from stores. I use the white ones in the bathroom trash can and the blue ones in the freezer. I put all food scraps in the blue bag in the freezer during the week and it gets put in the big outside toter on garbage day. Never any smells, never any bugs. Works so well!

🤣🥰Amen🙏
I have been donating, declutterring & only keeping the things I love. I had an entire linen closet STUFFED 🤦🏻‍♀️ The kids are grown with their own families. I keep 1 set of sheets for the spare beds & 2 sets for us. It feels fantastic 🥰

I recommend a cordless stick vacuum. Mine weighs 5 lbs and no cord to fool with or keep unplugging and re plugging in.

I have a sweet teenage granddaughter that comes and helps me from time to time. I mentioned that her Papa wanted to have people over for the 4th of July (we have a nice place in the country that is perfect for it) and that I wasn't sure I would be up for it. She said, Oh Grammy I'll come help you clean and get ready! I have another sweet granddaughter that is just 10 but she loves to organize. She wants to come help me do some organizing this summer. They are such a blessing!

My husband's newspaper is delivered around 3 am, usually thrown at the front door. Since I am usually the first one up, I will retrieve it. If it is close enough to the door (especially in nasty weather) I get out my kitchen tongs and use them so I don't have to go outside, stoop, turn and re-enter the house. Also great for getting that package of pasta that keeps trying to avoid me by scooting to the back of the shelf. Love tongs.

I like the idea of using disinfectant wipes for the blinds! I will definitely try that, thanks for sharing!

“…And the world goes right on!” I love that! You’re so right. Thank you for your bubbly fun words and beautiful voice!

[teresazade]

I love this!
* covering an angle broom to dust ceilings or maybe covering it with a cloth dampened with cleaner for floorboards and corners. I'm buying one of these!
* $store wipes for blinds or window edges and sills. I'm doing this!

Thank you. Truly.

Hello, finally something for seniors. I live in Canada and saw your video for the first time today. Love the ideas and tricks for cleaning. I had to give up cleaning like I did before, Body did not like to work so hard anymore lol. Thanks for the fun video.

I just found your channel - you brighten my day with your attitude. We have a king size bed (don't do that) and changing sheets used to be a terrible chore. I have learned to fold the sheets from top to bottom and again in the same direction. That way you can lay the sheet on the bed, tuck in the bottom and then pull up toward the top. Less walking around the bed. It also helps to draw a line just above the elastic on the bottom end of the fitted sheet (I know the tag goes on the left, but the line is easier) and add little mark in the center. It also helps to put a dot at the bottom center of the top sheet. Hope this helps someone. Thanks for a great, uplifting video.

I love your joyful attitude. I just moved to South Florida, am a senior and have horrible arthritis yet love a clean house. We’ve got a bit in common. I subscribed immediately. God bless.

[SusanShiflett-fi]

Awwww, you’re so sweet! I just want to hug you! I’m not lazy, just worn out with health problems, lol. So glad I found your channel! May the Lord bless you with health and the secret desires of your heart! John 3:16❤

Great tips! I agree about the decluttering. It is so tedious to clean with nick nacks. Keep it simple and classy.
I'm ordering a vacuum like yours 😊❤

[dgator]

Hey neighbor! North Florida girl here. Thanks so much for the tips. I have terrible back issues so these tips will help me tremendously. I never thought of the large tongs. My husband has big ones for the grill that he never uses so guess what? They're mine now! LOL Have a great day!!

Don't let anyone steal your joy. Love that🎉🎉🎉
