hello everyone today i'm sharing my minimalist and natural cleaning routine
using only three ingredients it's super simple it cleans extremely effective i'm sharing my routine
how often we clean our home and what we do to keep it super clean all the time because that is very
important for me so without further ado let me show you every single room and how i clean it so
the first thing i do is always opening my windows airing out the house makes it feel lots cleaner
and it also makes the house drier and nicer to be in next i like to clean up anything i have lying
around before i get to the cleaning routine and i just have some dishes that i needed to put away
we only keep a few items in the kitchen because i find that this makes it cleaning a lot easier
on sundays and wednesdays i also change the towels in the kitchen i've made these hand
towels from linen myself next i'm just using my vinegar cleaning solution to wipe down the kitchen
this cleaning solution is so effective simple and the vinegar smell evaporates after just a
few minutes to make this natural and all-purpose simple cleaning solution i just add distilled
white vinegar and some drops of essential oils into a spray bottle you can add water to dilute
it but i like the strength of it this way and you can also skip the essential oil if you want
the vinegar is what does the cleaning and it is super effective it's an all-purpose cleaner that
works on most surfaces i keep the swedish cloth regularly clean so i clean it in between each
little wash i do which just keeps the kitchen dust free it's so much easier than paper towels
and it lasts so much longer and it also doesn't contain plastic which microfiber cloths do
to clean the sink i use baking soda or baking powder whichever is cheapest in the refill store
and then i scrub that in without adding any water the baking soda works as an abrasive and
scrubs away any old grime and dirt and it's super effective especially at cleaning stainless steel
cleaning the drain becomes so much easier because i just scrub it with baking soda doesn't have
to do a lot of work but they turned so shiny afterwards that they look completely brand new
and the kitchen looks so much nicer another benefit of baking soda is that it's completely
natural it's very affordable and it also works to eliminate any smells so it's especially good
for cleaning use as much or little as you want but just experiment and see how much you feel
like you need for your kitchen or wherever you're cleaning there is really no right amount and here
you can see how clean this becomes after i've just cleaned it with baking soda and cold water nothing
else to keep the swedish dish cloths clean i like to boil them once a month or just run them in the
dishwasher or even just put them in a laundry bag and run them when i'm doing my hot laundry
they last forever and when you're done with them you can just put them in your compost
most of the time you just have to double check which brand you have and they are so
much better than any of the alternatives give it a wipe down and then you have a super clean sink
the next step is to use the same solution to clean all the cupboards in my kitchen
again i use the same solution to clean the entire kitchen and we have these weird handles that
collect dust so i make sure to give them a good clean and i also use this cleaning for the oven a
great tip to avoid cleaning your oven so often is to not use oil when you're cooking or any fat for
that matter we never use any oil or butter when cooking so we never have to clean out our oven
and then i just removed some of our to do lists about our van from the fridge and gave that a
wipe down too this vinegar solution works really good on any area that's shiny and when you use the
swedish cloths it leaves no streaks and lastly i just clean up some random things i had on our
kitchen table and gave that a wipe down i wiped my berkley filter down with the solution but normally
i just use a dry linen cloth to polish it the last step for the kitchen is to clean my water bottle
i clean my water bottle once a week just again using baking soda and vinegar i let this sit with
some water for a couple of hours before i scrub it cleaning your water bottle is so so important
and i think it's something we overlook especially for water bottles you can't put in the dishwasher
but i highly recommend you do it it's very important for your hygiene and for your health
and cleaning it with vinegar and baking soda on water is just such a simple and natural
and quick solution i then let it drip dry and then i have a clean water bottle again
so now that is the kitchen done it is super clean with just all these products and it's
time for me to move on to the next room normally i clean the bed sheets on the same day as we do
the deep clean but today it was raining so we did them yesterday i worked in my bed this morning so
i'm just starting by cleaning up my computer and also opening the windows to air it out i
then make the bed we make the bed every morning and we fold the bed sheets in half just like so
so that the bed can air out during the day allowing your bed to air out and not letting the
duvets lie on top of the bed all the day is really really important for a healthy mattress i'll make
another video on what mattress you should use this week because it's really important for your health
then it just started pouring down way too much for me to even be able to have the window open
next step is to clean my desk or working area i wipe it down
again with the same vinegar solution and i wipe down my screen my entire computer
we also vacuum when we do our deep clean but we normally do that in the afternoon
i never keep anything on my desk as i like to keep it super clean and this also makes it a lot
easier to keep tidy next room and the final room for my cleaning is the bathroom again i'm using
baking soda or baking powder and i put it in the sink dry without adding water then i use a dish
cloth to scrub it again i use a different dish cloth for the bathroom and this really removes
any dirt very effectively we keep our bar soap in an old bowl with some rubber bands which is
a great zero waste idea and so i like to wash that once a week the hardest part is definitely
getting the rubber bands back in place but i made it work and this is how we keep our soap
and i also make sure to change the hand towel and that's everything for the sink done
i also use the vinegar solution to wipe down the mirrors and by using a swedish dish cloths
it leaves no streaks i use the exact same method for cleaning the toilet and the shower just baking
soda scrubbing and then cleaning it down with the vinegar solution super effective and super clean
i also like to wipe down the washing machine once a week since there is some dust collecting there
a tip for cleaning the toilet is that when you're done just add a few drops of tea tree oil before
you close it and that will make your bathroom smell super clean and that is the bathroom all
finished and clean i do this about once a week and then i also wipe down the surfaces at least
twice a week and that is also my entire house done thank you so much for watching this video it was
super super difficult to film because we live in a very small house and when you try to film in a
small house everything just looks a little crammed and not very pretty if you compare to like i don't
know i'm comparing myself to her 82 square meters and she's obviously a videographer so but still
it was a very difficult video to film let me know if you liked it if you have any questions
i thought maybe i should make a video on cleaning tips too like hacks for how i clean specific parts
like my vitamix or my swedish dish cloths but just leave a comment down below and then i can
add them to my list and make a video about it if you like this video please give it a thumbs
up and like the video because this shows youtube that you like it so it helps my channel that's
the only reason i'm asking and don't forget to subscribe and i'll see you next week bye
you
