If it's dirty either in the floor or in the laundry basket, depends on how tired/lazy I'm feeling. If I'm going to wear it again before washing I usually put it on a chair.
Manon Douven I used to have a literal chair in my dorm I dumped stuff on and my work table now tht I’m back home it’s no longer my chair but my bed n table xd
Cleaning in waves make more since and simplified my cleaning. Now I remember how I use to clean my home. I have been watching so many organization videos and worrying about being organized to the point that I became frustrated and did not know where to start. Watching your video has simplified my cleaning habits. Now I should be able to clean my house. I can organize it better after I get it clean. Thank you for this video.
At the end of the day I have 2 hooks on my closet. On one side I hang up the clothes I wore that day if they don't need to go into the hamper. This way I can air them out before I put them into the closet first thing in the morning. On the other side I have my outfit for the next day fully assembled and waiting to be worn first thing in the morning.
This is so helpful. I've been trying to motivate myself to do a really thorough clean on my apartment, but health issues make it really overwhelming and nerve-wracking. This immediately helped me formulate a simple cleaning plan to help me get started. Thank you!
I fold my clothes and put them away or lay them on a chest I have in my room. If I had clothes like that, scattered on the floor, I wouldn't know if they were clean or not, so they would all get washed.
I always put my clothes in laundry bin when I take them off. I would never even think about putting them on the floor! Also I am super picky about my pillows! I was just raised that way!
I have an evening routine. After dinner part of this routine includes turning down the bed, closing the window shades and fixing the bedclothes just the way the Mr likes them. I also hook up his CPAP machine and oxygen. While I'm at it I make sure there are no tissues stashed on the bedside tables, no dust gathered on the electric cords. I leave the bedside lamps on and make sure our jammies and slippers are easily accessible by putting the jammies by our pillows and our slippers on the floor nearby. I make sure the trash cans are empty and when we change into our jammies I take our cast off clothes to the laundry room. I know. I'm kind of a nerd but an evening routine makes a morning much less chaotic. I should say that I also hang out our clothes for the next day. This keeps our lives simple and tidy. I love your videos. I learned from you how important it is to clean from top to bottom. I really appreciate your wisdom. I'm living proof that an 80 year old can always learn new things from kids your age!
Melisa you’re amazing! I’m following your videos for years - love it all ❤️ A trick I learned to keep our dirty clothes tidy - I put extra hampers around the house where we tend to just toss things on the floor 🙈. That way we honor our laziness and the place still looks tidy 😇😋
Oh my. I do hang up my clothes so we don’t have messes. I clean the floor and dust but I rarely dust my walls. I clean my doors about twice a year... I have to step it up a notch!
I would've never placed my cleaned clothing on the rug and floor and folded them but instead placed them on my bed. Btw, I've a rack with hooks that I hung any clothing that can be reworn so they can air out.
I have never thrown my clothes on the floor! I either put them in the laundry basket or hang them up! Putting clothes on the floor is being disrespectful to your clothes (my opinion only)! It also collects dust balls on your clothes if they stay there to long!
For ages, we piled clothes horribly. Our room got totally out of hand. We did a MAJOR declutter, purchased a much-needed new bed, paint, window treatments, etc. this fall. Now I’m almost the clothes police and my husband and I are both determined to keep it clean. 😊
I love love love ❤️ your videos!! You mentioning the anchoring point, is soo helpful. I often get side track and watching me clean.... well let’s say that’s the best tip ever!
I either put my dirty clothes in the hamper and if they are not dirty (sweater) or a shirt if I only wore it briefly, I fold them and put them away. I like my house neat and tidy so I put everything back in its place. Happy to have found your channel....I have learned some good pointers and techniques. Thank you!!
If thats where your clothes end up, then put a cute little basket there. That’s what i did, now its less of an eyesore and i just go through occasionally to either refold, hang or wash. I have multiple hampers around the house and while it might take a couple extra seconds to gather all the clothes on wash day, at least they’re off the floor ;)
m.th-cam.com/channels/BR8-60-B28hp2BmDPdntcQ.html I do that to sometimes I have a basket to put them in. Also my name is Carrie to what is your middle mine is Joy, Carrie Joy.
@@sandrabrott8580 of you don't do anything to get them dirty and it is hard on your clothes to wash them everyday. I wear clean socks and underwear everyday. Also I am 63 yrs old. I don't have all those problems that younger women have anymore.
@@kgrean8587 I don't have the problems a young lady has either but I also put clean clothes on every day. I don't wash my clothes every day tho. I only have to do laundry once or twice a week. As my daughter is grown up now and I live alone.
Thanks Melissa, some great tips there. I especially needed stay anchored to small area you are cleaning, organizing until done before moving on to other spaces. Watched for motivation, definately received it. Heading into disaster area NOW. Thanks!
Thanks to you I know how to clean the right way.....with that said I have 2 suggestions...1) one touch system- when you touched your clothes to put them on the floor, you could have just hung them up. 2) I put a flashlight in my cleaning caddy. One again, thank you for teaching me how to clean the right way.
It was good to watch you clean. I need to remember floorboards next time I clean. With my clothes... if they are ready for hamper then there they go. If I am going to wear them again then: home clothes I fold it and leave it on a chair close to the bed and outside clothes I hang up to designated area in my wardrobe.
I'm sorry but there's 1 thing our mother taught us NEVER throw clothes on the floor clean or dirty as it was makes the room look messy. so it's a chair, hamper and hanger....tip...I use the close basket on a trolley and wheel it around travelling from to room putting clothes away and if can't finish you leave and store them there until they get put away.... saves on the walking up and down and clothes all over the place..
I love your videos!! I used to struggle with cleaning and watching your channel has helped me immensely! The only problem I haven't been able to fix is cleaning the stains from my suede couches.
Thanks Melissa. I’d love to know how you tackle a clients house. The order you do things etc for doing the whole house. I never seem to finish my home all at once. It’s clean and tidy ( mostly) but never all at the same time. Thanks Helen
I highly recommend your method. Why try to clean your entire house at one time? Too much work for me and I get discouraged. If you break it up over a week (have a cleaning schedule) your house is always clean and tidy because it never has a chance to get dirty!!
Thanks for the vacuuming strategies! BTW my clean clothes are on floor but my dirty clothes are organized. Dirty are sported by load into a laundry hamper with multiple bins. Clean clothes go on bed in hopes I fold them but a lot of times I’m too tired so on the floor they go.
I can so relate to that chair with clothes laid on top of it. Everyone has such a chair, no matter who they are in life. That chair is the great equalizer.
I only have 2 hampers in the house - 1 upstairs (in the bathroom) and the other (a sorter) in the laundry room (basement). So everyones clothes generally end up on the bedroom floor at the end of the day (usually in a pile in a corner) and same thing with pjs when getting dresses in the morning. Ive made it a habit to go around each room every morning to pick up the piles of clothes and put them in the upstairs hamper. Once that hamper is full, i bring it downstairs to sort it for laundry! So far thats been a good system for me. What i struggle with is hanging up the CLEAN clothes after doing said laundry lol - that ends up on the bench at the foot of our bed to "eventually" hang up lol im working on getting better at that!
Hello CMS. Love everything about you guys. I see alot of comments about your folding laundry on the floor... ALL of us have different cleaning habits and homes... Mine for example has multiple pets, cats 3 and dogs 2. Dogs that are constantly in and out. So in my home clean laundry can not go on the floor. My opinion is... the naysayers do not "watch" your videos. If I were to clean in your home I to would do exactly what you do as your home is and mostly always is, cause your family is human and busy, very clean! Not just tidy.. CLEAN! Keep it really CMS ;*
All the dirty cloths go into my hampers. I have trained my husband to use his hamper. :) He does some dirty work somedays and his hamper is in the laundry room for those days. Also, you have given me some great tips on cleaning my rooms, and bathrooms. I love the microfiber cloths .
I used to put them in the laundry basket, but now that I'm single and travel a lot (not to mention have an apartment which is very private), I just toss them on the floor to wear tomorrow. If they're dirty, I'll take the extra step of tossing them into the basket. Aside, my biggest problem cleaning is I just have too much stuff! I moved into a small apartment from a house and still don't know how to deal with the boxes of useless things here. I could throw it out, but what a waste. The things are only useless to me. Others may find them a treasure. The other problem is that I'm only home some weekends, so I find it difficult to motivate to get rid of things. Of course, that's my problem to solve. Thanks for the awesome videos!
That is a great question! I’ve wondered what the pros do? I have a set of hooks behind our bedroom door and master bathroom door. But sometimes I have so much hanging on those hooks, that the doors won’t open all the way! 😂 Especially in the winter with robes, flannel pajamas and heavy clothes.
Great motivating video for me. I will be cleaning my bedroom top to bottom tomorrow, not today--lol. It will take me several hours because I will clean out the closet, wash the walls, windows, and curtains and fold 3 loads of laundry. Time to download an audio book to keep me entertained while cleaning!!
I would suggest change positions to the plants under the TV. Why not put the highest one on the right side and the shorter one in the middle so that you can whatch TV without the plant being in front ? 😉 Have a great day CMS, always love to watch your videos !
"even pros make mistakes sometimess' I know it's dumb but i will sometimes get frustrated with myself for accidentally doing things out of order like that so its very comforting to know even you do that sometimes
This is so satisfying to watch and I love referring to sticking to a section as "anchoring" that works for me ⚓ Also I love the metallic figure you have framed. Awesome sexy but cool bedroom art! 💜
After I clean our clothes and if I don’t have time I leave it in the laundry on the table . Or usually I like to sort it right from the dryer to the baskets for each family member and put to their bedroom.
Hey Melissa! I love all your videos and have learnt a lot about the cleaning world from you. You have touched on pretty much every product out there except robot mops. It would be really nice to have an expert such as you's opinion on robot mops and which one is the best.
A common theatre costuming trick is to take clothing that's been worn but isn't ready to be (or can't be) laundered, flip it inside out, hang it up, and spritz vodka on it. (Get the cheap stuff, don't waste your Belvedere.) Airs it out, and the vodka kills odor-causing bacteria. If you get the big bottles from the bottom shelf at the liquor store, it's actually very cost-effective. Good for mirrors, too.
I like how you slide the vaccum under the rug edges. I never thought to do that. The people complaining about a quick fold or placing of the sheets on the floor, their floors must be incredibly dirty. Clearly, if floors are filthy, you just don't do that.
Hi I was a professional house cleaner and looking at the video I would estimate that it probably took Melissa about an hour or even less. The sheets would have been still drying with the clean room done, she would have to wait for the sheets to put on later. If that was the case I would have moved onto another room to clean: then go back and put the clean sheets onto the bed. Only Melissa really knows but I hope I was helpful. ?
Thanks for the video! As always, super useful! I personally put my dirty clothes in a laundry bin and just leave the clothes I can still wear directly on top of the same basket, the lid is sturdy enough so that they don't drop inside of it ^^ I'm thinking about buying a valet stand to tidy it all up, but this system is fine for the moment :D
Great video! I love your channel. I would love to see a travel video; what things do you look at or take with you when you travel to a hotel or airbnb.
Since your clothes end up in the corner by your nightstand, what if you found a cute basket to tuck into the corner to collect your clothes? Our room is relatively small, so our hamper is easy to access at all times. When it’s down in the laundry room then we pile clothes on the floor where it would be until we have an available hamper again. Some of my clothes will end up next to my side of my bed, but when I get up I just carry them to the hamper on my way out of the room (our hamper is by our door). Clothes that don’t need to be washed get draped on the hope chest.
Love your videos!! Can you please recommend just a regular ole vacuum? It’s just my husband, me, and our cat. We’re looking for something around the $200 point (after a sale/coupons). We just want a good quality vacuum, that’s not too heavy, it loud, and gets the job done. Thx!!
I would consider this a light deep cleaning. You did more than a frequent (weekly) maintenance clean (you included cobweb removal, baseboards, wet dusting, doors and some trim - all deep cleaning tasks in my book) but less than a deep clean that's done on rotation or seasonally (window washing, thorough wet cleaning of all surfaces and trim, etc). How long did it take you and how often do you clean in this manner?
I broke my leg and can't clean right now.. but I CAN'T wait till I can go around the house and clean! This video soothes my cleaning urge me a little haha.
Loved the tips you gave. Made me want to clean my room. Only issue is I would not put my pillow on the floor after I changed the pillow case ~ ☹️ That touches your face ~ 😉
You guys are truly amazing! I never thought I’d love watching videos about cleaning😊 Question - where is your bedroom set from? It’s simple and clean looking, love it!
I would suggest a headboard behind the bed. A bed always looks incomplete without one. My wife and I change the sheets every Saturday morning. We have extra sets that were washed the week before to put on the bed.
Hi Melissa I have OCD 😂so every night I will wash and clothing that is fine for tomorrow I Wil fold nearly and place ready to put on after I have trained and showered/bathed the next day. Dirty clothing I will usually take and place straight in the wash machine or hamper for when the next load goes on. My husband however throws everything and goodness it seems so much more than he had on and on top of that his huge gown on top during the night. Well ok but I need to navigate past his area many times during the night to use the bathroom and well let's say I have become excellent at shoving an item off my slipper and more or less...I think...in the general area of his pile 😂😂😂 I loved this video on cleaning the bedroom like a pro would you think if I scheduled a room in a day and took time to do a carpet powder which surs an hour ceiling lightfittings wash walls windows and clean inside closets this could work for spring cleaning. I just feel 3-4 weeks would I ever feel my home is completely nice and fresh at the same time.
Hello. I am a bit disciplined with my clothes and acessories when I come back from an outing/work/trip. Everything gets put away immediately after I disrobe/unpack. Dirty laundry straight into the hampers (I hv 4; whites, coloured, towels & to send for dry clean). Fresh laundry are hung or folded from the basket the very day it is dry and put into the respective cupboards. I have 2 grown up children staying with me and my hsbnd and all 4 of us hv different colour coded hangers in their wardrobe and I hang clothes according to their owners. I am a bit of an OCD like that and my fmly tolerates me 😊
Hi Melissa! Love your videos and have been a follower for years now. I have a question...where did you purchase that fantabulous dresser? It is beautiful and amazing...! I would like something like it, but a bit smaller. My room is not nearly as big as yours. We just moved about 6 months ago, and still trying to organize and make storage for our items.
Having a place for everything and making a rule to put things in their place if theyre not being used or worn makes all the difference in the world!! With a small amount of initial effort, you save yourself a lot of work later. Good habits!!
CMS POLL: What do you do with your clothes at the end of the day?
Clean My Space I put them in the hamper preferable the way. But when I am lazy they end up on my bedroom floor.
If it's dirty either in the floor or in the laundry basket, depends on how tired/lazy I'm feeling. If I'm going to wear it again before washing I usually put it on a chair.
I put my clothes in the appropriate place - hang if going to be worn again, hamper if not. NO FLOOR! NO CHAIR!
I put them in the hamper, my husband just creates a pile on his side of the bed -_-
Hanger or hamper! My dog will turn any clothing on the floor into a dog bed 😉
I removed "the chair" out of my bedroom. And that was a gamechanger for me. My clothes end up in the laundry basket or in my closet.
I will use this information
Manon Douven I used to have a literal chair in my dorm I dumped stuff on and my work table now tht I’m back home it’s no longer my chair but my bed n table xd
Mine goes on one half of my bed so um SOMEONE GET A SAW
Same I bought an extra clothes tank for things that not dirty. It airs out for a few days then I put it back in the closet
Mine goes in my secret cupboard
Folding clothes on the bed rather than on the unswept floor seems a better clean option.
Imagine folding clean underwear on the floor 😟😟
Yessss
Mostly when they do baby’s clothes oh my
As much clean can be the floor for me is NO NO
To do folding in the floor is just no ok
Real world....I get it but...life.
Jeez, how dirty does y’all floor get?! I fold on my floor all the time too 🤷♀️
I have husky hybrids so folding on the floor is a big no for me. However, shes a cleaning pro, so I'm pretty sure her floor is safe to fold on.

Definitely all goes in laundry
“My room is a mess” lolol girl no you haven’t seen a mess if thats messy!

In my house, even if I vac daily, there is dog hair in the carpet....
Yes but remember she said she made her room a mess on purpose for this vid so she may not always do that

Great video as always! I also laughed when I saw your gold middle-finger ornament in your bedroom 😅👍🏻
I've started incorporating your wave cleaning system into my cleaning routine & it works wonders.
Greetings from South Africa
That is a great question! I’ve wondered what the pros do? I have a set of hooks behind our bedroom door and master bathroom door. But sometimes I have so much hanging on those hooks, that the doors won’t open all the way! 😂 Especially in the winter with robes, flannel pajamas and heavy clothes.
Great videos. Love home made cleaners. Swear by lemon...vinegar..baking soda.
Clothes straight into wash for me.
I love the way you do your makeup.. & learning from you too!
Great motivating video for me. I will be cleaning my bedroom top to bottom tomorrow, not today--lol. It will take me several hours because I will clean out the closet, wash the walls, windows, and curtains and fold 3 loads of laundry. Time to download an audio book to keep me entertained while cleaning!!
Nice tips. By the way loved your built in. Did you get it custom made or buy online? If bought, can you share where from?
Also, don’t forget Playtex blue disposable gloves. They are great to clean with!
I would suggest change positions to the plants under the TV. Why not put the highest one on the right side and the shorter one in the middle so that you can whatch TV without the plant being in front ? 😉 Have a great day CMS, always love to watch your videos !
I LOVE clean with me videos!
Thanks for watching Shyanna!
"even pros make mistakes sometimess' I know it's dumb but i will sometimes get frustrated with myself for accidentally doing things out of order like that so its very comforting to know even you do that sometimes
This is so satisfying to watch and I love referring to sticking to a section as "anchoring" that works for me ⚓
Also I love the metallic figure you have framed. Awesome sexy but cool bedroom art! 💜
Thanks for watching Alice!
After I clean our clothes and if I don’t have time I leave it in the laundry on the table . Or usually I like to sort it right from the dryer to the baskets for each family member and put to their bedroom.
Loved this and I just love how your dresser is a built in across that whole wall, genius. Might steal that idea when we buy our house.
I love this. Thank you!!
I put my clothes directly in the laundry basket.
Good for the
cleaning is the new mindfulness 🙏🏼
Hey Melissa! I love all your videos and have learnt a lot about the cleaning world from you. You have touched on pretty much every product out there except robot mops. It would be really nice to have an expert such as you's opinion on robot mops and which one is the best.
Loved this Melissa!
I hang clothes on hooks to air them before re-wearing and/ or washing them.
Depends on how I feel after a long day of work😂. Usually I will just throw my clothes on the floor and put them in the hamper in the morning.
I have a ‘chair’ if I’m going to wear them again. Otherwise straight into the hamper.

Same I hanging or folding otherwise go to the laundry 🧺
I’d love a video on how to clean your washer and dishwasher!
FIRST! 😜
I have a medium size rope basket as the "one more wear" clothing pile :) if it overfilled then I have to put it all away or decide on washing it
How would you clean BLACK MOLD? Love the cleaning and organizing videos!
I love this. You're so real... I put mine on my side of the bed too🤦🏻♀️
what do you use for the all purpose cleaner? Would like you to tell what products you use for us new to this... Thanks!
Yes I do hang up my clothes & put them in the washing box & thankfully so does my hubby 😄 so score!
A common theatre costuming trick is to take clothing that's been worn but isn't ready to be (or can't be) laundered, flip it inside out, hang it up, and spritz vodka on it. (Get the cheap stuff, don't waste your Belvedere.) Airs it out, and the vodka kills odor-causing bacteria. If you get the big bottles from the bottom shelf at the liquor store, it's actually very cost-effective. Good for mirrors, too.
I like how you slide the vaccum under the rug edges. I never thought to do that. The people complaining about a quick fold or placing of the sheets on the floor, their floors must be incredibly dirty. Clearly, if floors are filthy, you just don't do that.
Q: How long in total did it take you to clean the room?
I would love to know the answer to this!
Same
Hi I was a professional house cleaner and looking at the video I would estimate that it probably took Melissa about an hour or even less. The sheets would have been still drying with the clean room done, she would have to wait for the sheets to put on later. If that was the case I would have moved onto another room to clean: then go back and put the clean sheets onto the bed. Only Melissa really knows but I hope I was helpful. ?
@@gailpeczkis5292 super helpful btw!
Ben and I
where did you buy the white cabinets from the entire set both glass cabinets and wardrobes (which is the bench)
Thanks for the video! As always, super useful! I personally put my dirty clothes in a laundry bin and just leave the clothes I can still wear directly on top of the same basket, the lid is sturdy enough so that they don't drop inside of it ^^ I'm thinking about buying a valet stand to tidy it all up, but this system is fine for the moment :D
Got me to clean my master bedroom and bathroom. Love your videos!
Literally looking up Cathedral mirrors for my bedroom. I lie the deep shadow frame as well.
Great video! I love your channel. I would love to see a travel video; what things do you look at or take with you when you travel to a hotel or airbnb.
Since your clothes end up in the corner by your nightstand, what if you found a cute basket to tuck into the corner to collect your clothes?
Our room is relatively small, so our hamper is easy to access at all times. When it’s down in the laundry room then we pile clothes on the floor where it would be until we have an available hamper again. Some of my clothes will end up next to my side of my bed, but when I get up I just carry them to the hamper on my way out of the room (our hamper is by our door). Clothes that don’t need to be washed get draped on the hope chest.
Love your videos!! Can you please recommend just a regular ole vacuum? It’s just my husband, me, and our cat. We’re looking for something around the $200 point (after a sale/coupons). We just want a good quality vacuum, that’s not too heavy, it loud, and gets the job done. Thx!!
What is a good mix to clean my microfiber upholstered head board Nd bed
I would consider this a light deep cleaning. You did more than a frequent (weekly) maintenance clean (you included cobweb removal, baseboards, wet dusting, doors and some trim - all deep cleaning tasks in my book) but less than a deep clean that's done on rotation or seasonally (window washing, thorough wet cleaning of all surfaces and trim, etc). How long did it take you and how often do you clean in this manner?
I broke my leg and can't clean right now.. but I CAN'T wait till I can go around the house and clean! This video soothes my cleaning urge me a little haha.
How do you clean a tub after using body oils or oily body scrubs? Like a quick way to remove the oils from tub.
Loved the tips you gave. Made me want to clean my room. Only issue is I would not put my pillow on the floor after I changed the pillow case ~ ☹️ That touches your face ~ 😉
You guys are truly amazing! I never thought I’d love watching videos about cleaning😊
Question - where is your bedroom set from? It’s simple and clean looking, love it!
I would suggest a headboard behind the bed. A bed always looks incomplete without one.
My wife and I change the sheets every Saturday morning. We have extra sets that were washed the week before to put on the bed.
Hi Melissa I have OCD 😂so every night I will wash and clothing that is fine for tomorrow I Wil fold nearly and place ready to put on after I have trained and showered/bathed the next day. Dirty clothing I will usually take and place straight in the wash machine or hamper for when the next load goes on. My husband however throws everything and goodness it seems so much more than he had on and on top of that his huge gown on top during the night. Well ok but I need to navigate past his area many times during the night to use the bathroom and well let's say I have become excellent at shoving an item off my slipper and more or less...I think...in the general area of his pile 😂😂😂 I loved this video on cleaning the bedroom like a pro would you think if I scheduled a room in a day and took time to do a carpet powder which surs an hour ceiling lightfittings wash walls windows and clean inside closets this could work for spring cleaning. I just feel 3-4 weeks would I ever feel my home is completely nice and fresh at the same time.
Hello. I am a bit disciplined with my clothes and acessories when I come back from an outing/work/trip.
Everything gets put away immediately after I disrobe/unpack. Dirty laundry straight into the hampers (I hv 4; whites, coloured, towels & to send for dry clean). Fresh laundry are hung or folded from the basket the very day it is dry and put into the respective cupboards.
I have 2 grown up children staying with me and my hsbnd and all 4 of us hv different colour coded hangers in their wardrobe and I hang clothes according to their owners. I am a bit of an OCD like that and my fmly tolerates me 😊
Hi Melissa! Love your videos and have been a follower for years now. I have a question...where did you purchase that fantabulous dresser? It is beautiful and amazing...! I would like something like it, but a bit smaller. My room is not nearly as big as yours. We just moved about 6 months ago, and still trying to organize and make storage for our items.
Having a place for everything and making a rule to put things in their place if theyre not being used or worn makes all the difference in the world!! With a small amount of initial effort, you save yourself a lot of work later. Good habits!!
Great video! What’s your rule on how often to change microfiber cloths when you’re cleaning? I noticed you had two.
Where do you store your hamper in your bedroom? I hate the site of a laundry hamper sitting out, but I don't have space in a closet
Such a beautiful bedroom, Your bedroom is bigger than my living room 🙈 love it xx
