- Hi guys, welcome back to my channel,
today's video is going to be a cleaning routine video,
and it's an everyday clean.
And I think an expression going around
on YouTube is the power hour,
but I'm actually gonna call this video the power half hour,
because this entire clean took me 35 minutes.
I really don't have much time today,
it's the half term here in the UK,
which means your children are off school for a week,
so we have had so many days out,
and I have let the housework really get on top of me,
and the house was a total mess when I started this clean.
Once a week, my house gets a much deeper clean,
but this is like an everyday blitz.
So my baby has just gone down for a nap,
so I'm gonna see how much I can get done.
If you're new to my channel and you like what you see,
I would love for you to subscribe and stick around,
I post three videos a week, so yes, anyway, into the video.
So I normally start upstairs in the boys' rooms,
and this is Frazier's room,
so I'm just gonna open the blinds,
put his pajamas away, and make his Minecraft bed.
And then I'm going to put all of his stuffed animals
back onto his bed and just tidy away any books,
any other toys, there's a board game that's been left out.
And then I'm gonna take a damp E-cloth
and just quickly wipe over the windows.
I like these 'cause you don't need any product
and it doesn't smear, and I'm also just gonna
do the windowsill really quickly.
And then I'll use my Method antibacterial spray
for any surfaces or hot spots like handles.
And I don't always hoover,
but his room really needed it today
because he had been cutting up some paper,
and there were bits all over the floor.
But that is it, that is Frazier's room done.
Now onto my three-year-old's room, this is Caleb's room,
so I'm just gonna tidy up his blanket,
I always tend to like, roll it like this,
and I'm gonna make his bed.
He's got a really thin duvet from Ikea,
I really like it 'cause you can put it
right under the mattress, and then I'm just going
to tidy up his toys, put his pillows back,
straighten out the rug, and then just put
any other toys away, and it looks like a toothbrush as well,
and I'm gonna wipe down this surface
because there was toothpaste on it.
And then I'm just gonna quickly put away his pajamas
from the night before, and tidy away his Superman costumes,
and that is pretty much it for his room.
Then, moving onto the boys' bathroom,
I'm just going to straighten out the towels.
These ones are fine, they don't need to be changed,
they're still clean, so I'm just going to refold them,
empty the bin because it's quite full.
And then I'm gonna put some bleach
in the boys' toilet because it is quite messy today.
I obviously don't do this everyday,
but I'm just gonna put a bit in there
and leave it for a few minutes
while I tidy the rest of the bathroom.
I always like to use a separate cloth
on our toilets as well, and I always use a blue one,
because I just remember that blue is for loo,
so I'm just giving it a quick once-over
with some anti-bac, because it does get quite messy,
and now I'm back to using my green cloth
on the sink to just give it a quick once-over,
and the bathtub as well, this isn't very messy,
but just a really really quick once-over,
and then that is it for our family bathroom.
And then I do a very similar routine
in our en-suite, our towels do need changing,
so I'm putting a fresh towel in,
and then I will empty the bins
before moving on to the toilet, and again,
I've got my blue, it's for loo, so I'm just going
to give it a really really quick once-over,
and do the bleach thing, similar to what I did
in our family bathroom, and let that sit
for a few minutes, put any makeup products away,
and give our sink a really really quick once-over,
this one doesn't get too messy, 'cause it's just us.
We have these great shelves in our bathroom
that hide all of our products,
and we have so many of them, we both love products.
We have these containers from Ikea
which are really really handy for storage,
and I definitely need to have a sort-out,
but I don't have time today, so I'm just gonna
give the shelves a really quick wipe,
and that is our en-suite done.
And the only last thing that I do
is just flush the toilet, just to get the bleach down
or it will really smell, and I'm going
to actually scrub the boys' one,
because that one does definitely get a lot messier.
Onto our rooms, I'm just gonna open up the shutters
and open the window to air it out,
give the windowsill a really really quick wipe-over,
and ew, I've found a fly, so I'm gonna chuck that
out the window and then carry on with the cleaning.
Then I'm gonna make our bed, I really feel
like a made bed makes the whole room look clean,
so I'm just going to tidy up the pillows,
put the throw cushions back on, and as I'm editing this,
it cracks me up, because Matt's always moaning
that he's not got enough cover,
and as you can see how much is on my side
of the bed on the right, and how little
is on his side of the bed on the left.
So I've actually made this bed completely terribly.
Anyway, I'm gonna throw this throw on the end,
I feel like it kind of like finishes off the bed,
and that is it.
And I'm just gonna tidy up any other bits
that are on our side like, vanity unit,
and just give it a really really quick once-over.
Then I'm gonna quickly run around our room
with my trusty Dyson V6,
I obviously don't hoover every day,
but our rooms really needed it today.
And yes, that is it, that is our room all done.
Then I'm gonna come downstairs,
but before I clean, I'm gonna put on a load of laundry.
I need to do one to two loads a day for our family of five,
so I'm just gonna use some Fairy non-bio,
and I just eyeball it, and I'm also gonna
use a Colour Catcher, because this is a colour load.
And now to tackle the biggest and messiest room
in our house, this is our living/kitchen area.
Please tell me that someone else's house
also looks this bad every day.
But first, I'm going to tidy up under the high chair,
this has been left after breakfast,
so I'm just gonna get all the bits up,
just using a baby wipe, and then I'm going to wipe down
the high chair, again, with my Method cleaner,
I really like it 'cause it is non-toxic.
And I'm obviously spraying this
all over surfaces where the boys eat,
and I managed to get the dishes from breakfast
into the dishwasher, but I didn't kind of
wipe over the table, so we're to do that,
and also his walker, because sometimes he has little snacks
in it, so I like to get that clean.
Next, I'm gonna clean their little play table,
so I'll just get the play dough away,
and then tidy up the 500 Pokemon cards and Lego card book,
before going over to the play area.
So they have loads of blankets out
because they had them on this morning
when they were laying on the couch,
so I'm just gonna fold them up, put them away,
tidy up any bowls, tidy up all of the toys
that we've had out this morning, and yeah,
just get everything looking a little bit more straight.
I'm also gonna straighten out the couch,
and just sort out the cushions and things,
and then I'm also gonna take this play mat outside
and shake it off, because there's always
loads of crumbs on it.
And then this breakfast bar
somehow becomes my desk every day
and collects my cameras and laptops and everything,
so I'm gonna tidy that up and give it a wipe.
And then, into the kitchen, I'm gonna just
put away things into the dishwasher,
or any of the pots and pans that I have washed by hand,
I'm going to put all of those away as well,
and then I'm gonna give all of the surfaces
a really quick wipe down, it's actually pretty tidy today,
but I'm just gonna give it a really quick once-over.
Then I'm gonna take my damp E-cloth
and give the gloss kitchen a really really quick wipe,
I find there's always lots of fingerprints
or splash marks behind where I've been cooking,
and then give anything else a little wipe, if it needs it.
Then, I'm gonna take my long-handled brush
to pick up any of the bigger bits of food,
if there's any bits of toast or play dough,
or things like that, I will just quickly
run around with that.
And then, if it's needed, again,
I will quickly run around with my Dyson V6,
I love this for like, every day, really really quick hoover,
like under the table for bits of play dough
and in the kitchen for crumbs.
And then lastly, I'm going to use this mop,
I love it, I'll link it down below, you fill it up,
and you can spray it out onto the floor,
and just really quickly run around and mop.
And then finally, I'm going to just change
our overflowing, disgusting bins.
And that's it, that is our main living area, all clean.
Right, I hope you enjoyed that video
and seeing how messy my house actually gets
and how I tidy it up.
Thank you so much for watching,
and I will see you in my next one.
