Hi guys. Welcome back to my channel. In today's video, I'm doing a good old fashioned speed
clean because my house looks like a bomb has gone off inside. It is so messy and desperately
needs a clean. So if you like speed cleans, where there is actual real, like a lot of
mess, you're in the right place. If you're new to my channel, subscribe for more videos
like this and let's do this.
So first things first. Laundry. Every single day I will do some sort of laundry. That's
the only way I can keep on top of it. There's always sheets or towels or clothes to be done,
and I saw the funniest quote the other day. It said, "I hate it when I up to date with
laundry and then I look around, and my family are wearing clothes," and that is exactly
how I feel.
But once I've done the laundry, I'm going to use this laundry bag to put anything that
needs to go back upstairs, that is downstairs. So sometimes, toys or pajamas or blankets,
things like that, will creep downstairs, so I'm going to stick them all in that and then
take it back upstairs. That guitar also needs to go upstairs, so I'm just going to tidy
away the toys that the kids were playing with this morning, straighten out the couch, and
then also straighten out Jackson's little kitchen.
Matt jokes that I now have two kitchens that I have to clean, but I actually quite enjoy
it. I'm just going to tidy up all of the toys and then give everything a wipe with a disinfectant
spray as well.
The boys and I recently went through their soft toys and decided which ones we could
donate to charity. They just have so many toys that we decided something had to give,
so we're going to donate all of those today and now I'm going to fold some laundry.
Although we have a utility room, I always like to bring it out onto the dining table
and told it there for some reason. Actually do find this quite therapeutic and I kind
of enjoy it. Obviously, I'll fold all of the laundry and then take it upstairs and put
it into the right rooms. I might now always put it away, straightaway, but if I just got
it into the right rooms, that's a good start.
Then I'm going to use a glass cleaner on our table. We had a piece of glass cut to go on
top of our dining table and it's been a game-changer. The kids do so much painting and coloring
that it was ruining the table but this has just been brilliant. So I'm going to wipe
that down and also the vase as well, because it is a mirror, like chrome effect, so you
get fingerprints and things like that and now I'm just going to tackle the kitchen and
wipe all of that down.
I'm also going to wipe down our mirror splash backs with a glass cleaner. I was really unsure
about getting the mirror splash back, but I love having it. It makes the room look so
much bigger. Now I'm also going to wipe down the hot spots, or the high touch areas, basically
just all of the handles and then I have this great Dettol spray. It kills 99.9% of bacteria
or germs and you can spray it on the clean surfaces.
So the kids have had a few bugs lately, so I'm going to use it today. I don't use it
all the time. I'm just going to do all the handles that they've touched. I'm also going
to clean the sink. This is Bar Keeper's Friend. It's very similar to [Seff 00:04:37], so I'm
going to spray that all in the sink, give it a good scrub and then also use some boiling
hot water from the kettle and just let that sit for a little while. This is, obviously
a white sink, and sometimes I feel like I can see a few stains, so I like to use this.
I'm also going to give the house a little Hoover. This is our Dyson V8, and I love using
it. It's just really handy. It does only have 20 minutes of battery life, but that is enough
to do this room and then I'll put it on charge before I take it upstairs. So, I'll just run
around and Hoover.
I also recently discovered this product. It is the Method floor cleaner. I have it in
wild rhubarb and also a lemon and ginger one. It smells amazing. It's non-toxic and it sprays
out really nicely. You don't have to mix it with anything. You could just spray it directly
onto the floor and either mop it or like I am, I'm actually spot cleaning the floor because
it's not too bad today, so I'm only cleaning under where the kids eat. So I'm just going
to give that a good wipe with that product and then I'm going to tackle my office.
Do you remember my beautiful clean office? Well, it's ruined. I need to just tidy it
up. Put everything away. I guess because it's like a surface, it becomes a bit of a dumping
ground so people tend to just stick bags on it or you can see books, lipstick, things
like that. So I'm just going to shove everything away and also clean that. We had a piece of
glass also cut for my desk so it had a nice slick surface on top. I'm also going to dust
the frames that are on the shelves above my desk. Like my 100,000 play button that has
quite a place on my desk and that is that area, a lot tidier, just don't look under
the desk.
Then I'm also going to clean the couch which is in the front room. Just sort out the cushions
a little bit before going upstairs, taking the laundry basket, and stair basket which
is full of things to be returned. I'm just going to sort through that. That could be
anything from shampoo, photos, socks, toys, by the looks of it, and always lots of clothes
and books as well and then I'm going to put away the ironing board. I tend to iron in
our bedroom and then I'm going to make our bed and go from room to room, making beds,
putting away books, toys, and just giving everything a general tidy as well as putting
away any laundry that needs to be put away.
In Fraser's room, he has this hidden beanbag storage so you can put all of his soft toys
in the bean bag, flip it over, and it's all hidden. So I wanted to show you that, then
I'm going to wipe down the window sill and then tidy away his books and just clear up
his side table. He has so many books. It's great he loves to read but today I'm going
to give it a bit of a clear out and then put some back onto his bookshelf.
I'm also going to tackle the two bathrooms that are upstairs. We have a little ensuite
and also a small family bathroom, so I'm going to empty the bins that are in the bathrooms
and then give everything a bit of a once over.
It's not too bad today, so I'm just going to remove all of the toothbrushes and shampoos
and things. I'm using the Method bathroom cleaner. I'm going to spray that everywhere
and give the sink a good old wipe as well as the toilet.
I'm going to wipe the lid and everything with the cloth that I've been using and then I'm
actually going to use just a small bit of toilet roll to wipe the actual seat and bowl.
It's not to messy, but having four boys in my house means you need to clean this quite
often. I'm obviously going to go around and give the bathrooms a quick once over.
I've been cleaning for about two hours now, but now I have to go and do the school run.
I hope you enjoyed this video. I must admit, I've actually enjoyed cleaning. It's quite
a luxury to clean on your own to music when you're normally a busy mom, like running around
with the kids. So it was really nice to do this on my own. How sad is that.
Anyway, thank you so much for watching and I'll see you in my next one. Bye guys.
