I clean the bathroom while I have one of my kids in the tub. That way I'm in there with them to talk and play, but I'm also getting a chore done. Clean bathroom and clean kid!

My favourite tip was from your channel and it was a drop basket or station for things that don't belong in a room and need to be put away. It really works and my house doesn't seem so cluttered and then my husband and I don't get into a fight over putting things back in it's place. It's in the bin and when we have time or feel like getting to it then we can empty the basket out. The best part is the basket never gets full so without even realizing it we are putting things away even more then before. And it's way less stressful

The timer trick REALLY works for me. Since I suffer from depression and anxiety, making a list and giving myself a few minutes per task helps me feel more organized and motivated to actually get it done.

I have an audio book that I only let myself listen to while I'm cleaning. Not only does it motivate me to clean, but it gives me a reason to look forward to it!

I have to say that this tip came from you. But, it resonated with me and I had to try it. I have always been the "spray and wipe" kind of cleaner. But I was constantly having to add more cleaner, use a scrubber or just scrape something up with a fingernail (yuck!). Then I switched to using "dwell time". It has saved me untold amounts of time, energy and my nails look so much better! So, thank you!

Last week, I drilled a hole in my kitchen trash bin (plastic trash bin). By drilling the hole about 10 inches up from the bottom (In case something does spill inside), and on the back (so no one can see it), this really helps prevent that suction cup effect, when your trying to pull the full kitchen trash bag out. Plus I don't rip my drawstring trash bag handles lol.

Love this video!! I started with the room I use the most, which was my kitchen. I walk out there every time I get a drink, coffee, food, to fill tubs with cleaning water, feed the cats, I walk through it whenever I go outside or to hang laundry on the line outside. And, of course, for ice cream they're necessary. When the kitchen is clean and neat and organized, every time I walk in there I'm reminded of how much I enjoy a clean area and what an amazing feeling it is. Just that feeling of satisfaction itself is enough to help keep me motivated. Then I tend to do the quickest fix, the area that can be clean and neat with the least amount of time and effort. This makes me feel like superwoman and like I can accomplish anything. lol

Thanks for the great videos and for the motivation.

Hell yeah! The hoarders vids even get my 19 year old to clean and declutter her room!

[amandaspillers]

What usually motivates me, is when I binge watch your videos. Your ideas are so awesome that it makes me want to try out the tips to see if it is easier then what I am currently doing.

Hi Melissa, if I need motivation cleaning an specific area, I tune at your channel while watching and clean with you that specific room. Today was the kitchen! thank you, it kept me going in...

[patty]

I like to break up my cleaning routine into a chore a day (M - dust, T - vacuum, W - clean kitchen, etc.) then I don't feel like I lose my entire weekend to cleaning and then on the weekend I can focus on more details like sheet changing, laundry, monthly deep cleaning items. It helps me to stay sane when I too don't like cleaning.

Thank you for your amazing channel and content!

[mrryanjake]

Your chanel motivate me to clean our house.i have 3 kids and its so hard to mentain our home clean.. thank you your cleaning routine is a big big help to me to never stop cleaning and decluter

[alexandrapate]

Never walk out of the room empty handed! I keep a heap of random things that need to go down stairs into my resource room, and it's almost impossible to forget because it's sitting in your line of vision! Ps: I have your eBook Melissa and I'm obsessed! ✌🏻

[lelaputman]

I really liked the tip about baking soda and essential oil at the bottom of the trash bag! I'm going to try that ☺

TIP: Find a Cleaning Buddy. Text them a "before" pic of an area to clean/organize. While they are waiting for the "after" pic, a good Cleaning Buddy will text some motivation (ie. "Clean that living room like the wind Bullseye!" or "Show that laundry who's da BOSS!"). Then send an "after" pic. This helps me focus and it is amazing to see how productive I've been when looking at a before and after pic.

[deborahmclane]

I don't care for cleaning but hate a messy space. So, I started listening to an audio book while I clean. This seems to be working as I am happier as I clean and I clean more. 😀

[sarahkittyish]

When I lose cleaning motivation, I watch Clean My Space videos, you are motivating and I am grateful. Thank you for taking the guess work out of daunting tasks, thanks for helping me make my home cleaner!

[sanadirbas]

In wastebaskets that have no "leak worry" (bathrooms laundry rooms). Put extra bags under the initial bag so when u need to change the bag there is a fresh one ready to be placed on the trash. :)

[DivaandtheDivine]

OMG you weren't kidding about turning on Hoarders!! 1/2 an episode in and I feel the need to deep clean everything in sight!

[xchurricane]

Watching your clean with me, especially the time lapses, is SO motivating! I watch the room I want to clean to get me in the zone!
