Today I am cleaning like Fly Lady for a day. I learned a ton about the Fly Lady Cleaning routine from @rosapicosa and from Flylady.net. After all the learning I decided to try her cleaning and decluttering routine to see if the method works for me!

#flylady #cleaningroutine - บันเทิง
Thank you for making a Fly Lady for Dummies version. I tried to look into her method but I always got discouraged. It seems doable now. Thanks Mai. 😊
Great video! I started with FlyLady several years ago and I’ve realized that the heart of her system - daily routines - is what helps the most. The first day, you feel like you make progress but when you come back the next day, you make more progress, and it just builds, day by day. I agree with you - it was just as easy to get the dishes taken care of then clean the sink. At some point, maybe it takes a year or more, but you realize that you can’t stand dirty dishes piled up and even if you are tired, you get them taken care of because you love waking up to a clean kitchen. One by one, the habits take hold and your bed is made before you even think about it. I still have too much clutter in my house so I’m going to go back and watch some of your other videos for inspiration. One question - I have been looking for a nice looking basket to use to take things up/downstairs. What I’ve pictured is exactly what you used! I don’t suppose you remember where you got it? I looked on your list but didn’t see it. Thanks for this video- you’re fun to watch!
When I was a new mom I remember how much the fly lady helped me get into a routine. It is a great way for beginners to figure out a cleaning routine.
These videos are so satisfying! 😂🥳 I love the secret slob channel, she does fly lady routines and I love her. So much of my mindset about cleaning has been changed in the last few years.
I have been doing Flylady for years, and I love it. It gets better and better because your house gets more and more clean, and because you stay on it, it doesn't take as much to keep it clean. I highly recommend it. 👌
I love how realistic you are! I used to be crazy cleaning all the time and then I had a baby… now I’m lucky if the bare minimum daily tasks happen! Thanks for keeping it real!
Yes! Keep showing us fly lady! I have always been told to clean like her by my mother-in-law but never had the motivation to. You just made it look so easy! Now I’m thinking, yeah I could do that and not get discouraged/overwhelmed
I really like this routine, I feel like you have to try it out a few more times or stick to it for a period of time and come back with updates + how you’ve adjusted the method :)
You definitely made it look doable and fun! Personally I like the daily 5 minute in each room routine. Mostly it is a quick clean up and putting things where they belong. Pulling out the mop or vacuum as needed. My mother-in-law ended up at my house for part of a day and I didn’t have to be frantic that she was coming (she has seen my place at its worst). I will look into the fly lady as an additional boost to what I already do.
I love the idea of giving yourself a time limit and being OK with mediocrity!
I wouldn't be able to do this cuz if my timer goes off & I haven't finished vacuuming then I would be so irritated seeing half a**'d job🤣 & to not do dishes but polish sink- I don't know how that would make me feel like I accomplished anything, I think I would have to finish the task even if I only set one to do🤷🏽♀️ Loved the video & thought it was great👍🏽 I'm guessing you'll probably adjust & make it your own like the mai method
I would love to see you do every day of the week and allow us to follow along!
This fees like a realistic cleaning method! You made me LOL at the hipster Eskimo comment🤣
The Fly Lady method was originally based on Sidetracked Home Executives and it works but confused the heck out of me. It wasn't until Steph made her Secret Slob channel and simplified the Fly Lady method that I finally understood it. You going through it is very helpful because it can be overwhelming.
I like this video a lot! I can understand the Fly Lady method - I've spent an age getting everything just perfect and so much effort went into that and then however long later - weeks or months - back into needing that same effort to do it all over again. Keeping things up is like a present to yourself every day - I love to have a fairly tidy home and like you - not having to do my desk work in a teeny tiny space because of all the things accumulating there is pleasant - and hopefully this routine avoids the weeks long slog when events come around - like you go away and want the house neat before you leave - or you have a special visitor coming - then those events can happen and you just have to pick up a little bit. I like the thought so much.
I have been following the Flylady routines and a semi-zone cleaning method for about 2 years. It has been a game changer for me. It’s really become a habit. I was never a bed maker, and now I can’t NOT make it.😂
For people like me who need structure, the “Fly Lady” method looks interesting. You definitely had a very productive day!
I follow most of the basic daily routine and it really does work!!! Im bad for doing the zone cleaning and i tend to do it as needed. I find my house doesn’t get a “dirty” though just following the daily routine and i feel so much happier and i spend less time cleaning all at once
I have been using the FlyLady system for many years now (I think I started in 2004). I have modified it to fit me. I have a 2 story 2600 sq ft home with 5 bedrooms and 2 baths. When I do the weekly home blessings the upstairs isn’t touched! It is just my husband and me now, and we don’t use the upstairs unless guests are coming! I don’t do laundry every day, but I do most days. Saturday is the day I change sheets, so that part of the blessing is simply making the bed. Vacuum and mop high traffic areas, not every nook and cranny. That is covered in the daily mission (deep cleaning). As to windows and mirrors, every week I try to do windows in one room (except living room, that room has 7 windows!) then the 3 French doors (15 panes each) and mirrors. I use the feather duster for the dusting, just hitting the surfaces, not moving things, and don’t have magazines to sort through. I might use the extra time do dust mop my stairs, or quickly dust or vacuum a room upstairs. Every day I do the swish and swipe while getting dressed. Like you, I have a pair of shoes that are indoor only (can’t stand to be barefoot!)
The FlyLady system works! I do think everyone tweaks it to fit their needs, but the routines are what has helped me the most! I don’t plan on Tuesdays, that’s a Sunday routine for me. My errand day is usually Thursday. And our “date night” is usually Saturday, just as it was when we were dating!
Wishing you the best with the FlyLady system! Several other TH-camrs also use her system, The Secret Slob, Dianne in Denmark, and FlyLady Kat are the ones that immediately come to mind. I love your channel, and you give very useful information as to cleaning and decluttering!
I just realized I’ve been doing FlyLady for 20 years! Make it your own and stick with it and it becomes so natural.
I just couldn’t leave a job half done if the timer went off 😱😂 great vid!x
😆😆
I was raised with flylady, it's cool to see the method still being used!
I love your channel! I’ve been doing a modified Fly Lady routine since I became a stay-at-home mom three years ago. (After working for over 20 years in corporate.) It has SO helped me stay on top of our home. Stick with it long enough, and you get more and more done in the 10 mins!!
I would LOVE more videos explaining and demonstrating the fly lady method! I looked on the blog but found it so confusing and a bit daunting tbh. This is great! Thank you 💛
Yay!!! So happy that you are trying this. It has completely changed my effectiveness as a homemaker! Also please try it for more than a day. Try it for at least a month. I will say my most difficult part has been the zone cleaning. You will find that it is so amazing if you try it for more than a day. Also she says to start slow. She has the 31 baby steps so that your routine sticks. Would love to see more stuff like this on your channel
Hahaa! Yes I have indoor shoes too !
Then I got my mom some after she seen mine ❤️We love the sketchers slide in sneakers 👟 just so comfortable to wear on hardwood or tile floors :)
I personally think getting fully dressed with makeup makes all the difference to get motivated !
It's a great routine if you're home all day, but I work full-time and run a business. I clean my whole house on Sunday, which can be done in a few hours because it's only 900 square feet. I try to add one extra thing to clean each week. I dust every other week. I declutter on the weeks I take vacation. I also do my laundry on Sundays too. It's just me, so not a lot to do.
I noticed that flylady is great when I need to get back on track. So easy to fit your lifestyle, and great results with very low effort. The 'problem' for me is, once I have been on it for a while, my apartment gets so clean/tidy, that I get that I get ' there is nothing to clean' syndrome. 😅 Then I fall off the wagon, things get a bit messy again, and I start over.
Combined with minimalism(ish), flylady is a seriously effectlve home/lifestyle routine. But I did a big declutter, I have been on it for a while now, and I have costumized it even more to fit my life. I barely spend any time cleaning now, and my place is cleaner than ever. Maybe the problems I had before was that the routine and time frames was made for a house, not an apartment. And some of the systems I had for certain things were not working effectively for me. Adjusting that have helped a lot.
The fly lady cleaning method really seems to work,for you. I enjoyed watching you follow her routines and really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing.
Never ever heard of this but I've been building a cleaning schedule to make my life easier so I'm so happy for this video!
This is the method I grew up with in my childhood home and I have carried it with me as an adult because it’s just so efficient for me, but I haven’t actually looked any fly lady material in years 😂👌🏻 just do my own thing with the same guidelines in mind. You did great!
Hey Mai!!! I wanted to let you know that I picked up that laundry hack you use to roll your pajama sets, but I roll my scrubs for work that way!! LOVE IT!
Looks like a good routine for moms!
Love how you made it your own routine. Definitely feel inspired to get in a daily cleaning house routine
I do some daily chores (not many) but I have followed the fly lady zone cleaning for years. I do one zone a week (I have 6 zones) though and start over each 6 weeks. It keeps the house clean and kept together really well.
We completely clean our house from top to bottom every Saturday plus a mini clean on Wed. We try to do a load of laundry a day too. However, we live in a smaller house than most people nowadays.
I’ve been doing fly lady for about 4 months now. It’s hard to start all of it at once. Try just doing one task and then the next day repeat that task and add one more. Secret slob has a 21 day plan to ease into fly lady. I’ve NEVER had a clean and tidy house till I started fly lady. Keep it up!! 😀
the organised mum method- is definitely worth trying
I’ve been looking into the Fly Lady routine, and it really looks like it’s exactly what I need. I enjoyed your video on it and how you’re making it work for you.
The Fly Lady system is very interesting. Like you said, you did get a lot of things done. Thank you for sharing. Always interested in things you find out to make things easir.
I love this Mai! I have taken notes for real so far!! This is a GREAT breakdown! I want to see you Fly for a week! That would be SO good! Or just maybe break down each day in a separate video. I recently downloaded the app and I was SO LOST. 🤣 Thank you for this! 🥂
I LOVE FlyLady...her Shine Your Sink book. Amazing to get you all set. I dust weekly...
Whatever works for you is always best. Thank you for sharing your life with us. You are awesome as always!
You made it look so easy! I've been trying to do fly lady for years and don't think I get as much done as you did in one day! Please film any other routines you try!
Just wanted to say that I love your videos and I'm so glad I found you channel. As a mom, I can relate to you so much and I appreciate that you're always real and down to hearth. Sending you lots of love!
I’m loving these different cleaning method videos! It’s really interesting to see the different approaches. Thanks for sharing 😊
I’d love to see a Mai Lady Routine 😜
Dusting: I hardly ever dust but I vacuum very often so it keeps dust at bay. But my house is a lot smaller.
I never put any dishes in my sink and keep the sink rinsed out so I hardly ever have to actually clean it. I leave all dirty dishes on the counter if I didn’t want to put it in the dishwasher or wash it right away.
The Fly Lady system has saved my life. I don't follow it strictly but I am definitely inspired by it and modified it to work for me and my family. I create a lot of cleaning videos that is inspired by the Fly Lady on my channel. But I am also tempted to try to follow it strictly for one day as you. Once again, great video Mai!
I was recently diagnosed with ADHD I am 52 years old. I have always wondered why I give up on starting things because I can't do it perfectly. Better is good (Dana from a Slob Comes Clean) has changed my life.
You rock! I have been enjoying all of your videos ❤️! Be well & stay safe!
I think I can do this. At 78 I easily feel overwhelmed but with most just ten minutes think I can do that and not feel guilt over not throughly cleaning each time so I put off til another time when I have more time or feel better. Thanks.
Lol, i also think about what to make for dinner at 4 or 5 o'clock in the afternoon🙈. It's hilarious how similar we are in so many things😄!
I need to go back the Fly Lady system. I'm a procrastinator too and using a timer and stopping when I should is something I failed to do last time so thanks for reminding me. I'm going back to her routine. Thanks for the inspiration..again! XXOO❤
I’m glad the Flylady system is working for you!
I love the video. Fly Lady is great. I think you should try it for a month to get through all the zones. I think things get easier every month. Another good system is Clean Mama. Similar to Fly Lady.
Please continue on with this cleaning method. I found it intriguing.
I’ve done fly lady for a couple years and I love it
Great job! Keep up the fast work!
My husband became my carer 15 years ago, he gets up at 6am because that's what he did for 30 years and he has everything done by the time the kids had to get up for school. His favourite part of the day was to bring our youngest to school and wind up all the mothers there saying housework is easy and he didn't know why they moaned. One of my friends started bringing her 2 boys to our house for breakfast just to upset his routine..lol
Love seeing your notifications. Thanks for giving me more motivation 🤍
I would LOVE to see more flylady videos. For a routine to stick you need to give it some time. Hope to see more ♥️
fly lady is great, even in moderation!
Her app is AMAZING 👏 😍
Now that I am getting use to the routine I don't "weekly home blessing" on the current "zone" cause all those task you do in that zone when you complete it through the week. It has been life changing cause I am pregnant with surprise baby #3 and a homeschooling momma of 2. It is wonderful to wake up to a clean ish home everyday 🙌
Just found this video and your channel. This was amazing definitely looking forward to more videos
I would love to see more of this routine as well as you trying other routines.
I totally want to see continue this to motivate me!
Really enjoyed the video!💞 So Motivating and Inspiring for me!! Loove your tall windows!😍😍 Thanks for sharing?
mrs. zimmy, you inspire me. i'm definitely going to skim through the Fly Lady Method because it sounds similar to the cleaning method i use, only more organized and mindful. maybe the Fly Lady Method is what i need to stop dealing with the occasional mess mountain i accrue over difficult periods.
Last year I added dusting to my weekly cleaning list, and I think it has made a difference
I totally wanna try this!
Another method to check into is Clean Mama. Love your channel!
As someone who always like to see things get discarded and even the trash taken away from home, I've never seen anyone having so many trash cans haha. Thank you for taking the time to film while emptying them all, I only have 2 and I feel much better when they're emptied so I can't imagine with so many :P
I like it! I’ve never heard of this but I’m going to try it. Thanks.
Hi Mai, subscriber from the UK and mum of 5 here 🇬🇧 I love your videos, you’re so relatable and honest. A popular cleaning method over here is called the organised mum method…I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on it 😊
I love Fly Lady!
I hope you like the Flylady System and post a video because I always try getting back on this and maybe now that you are doing this, there is a chance for me.
I have those same timers all over my house😅, but I use them to remind me about the softener in the laundry 😂
I feel like Im getting exercise watching you!! Phew, amazing!!! Im going to try Fly Lady, one day!!!!!
I don’t dust the whole house weekly but I do the ceiling fans and vents every week! Mine need it and it makes a difference in how clean my house stays.
I can’t imagine mopping without vacuuming!
This method seems very reasonable! You got a lot done 😊
Timers can be really helpful for ADHDers. I have family members who swear by using timers for all sorts of stuff. The TH-cam channel 'How to ADHD' is really awesome for information about ADHD and tips for making things more ADHD friendly for yourself. ☺️
I really like this routine. It looks doable even with kids running around. With everything broken down into smaller timed tasks, I could probably do a few tasks at a time and then tend to my kids (translation: deal with whatever is going on that they're yelling about) for a bit before returning to cleaning. Even if I don't get everything done in a day it would be better than what I currently do.
Your hair looks so pretty in this video!
You got so much done! Those tostadas look yummy. 😋
Woohoo, glad you uploaded! Waiting for 9 to call my doctor since I scratched my left cornea last night 😩 Just know for a fact that this here Texan appreciates your video EXTRA! 😂❤️ PS I don't dust, but I'll do a once over of my stuff. I don't have my own house or room. Moved into a multiple dude bachelor pad ugh.
Wait wait Holy crap I've been trying out sleeping without a pillow and I thought I was the only person on earth doing it. Thank you for not letting me be the only one hahahah
Thanks for your video. I will be checking out The Fly Lady!
thank you for sharing this . I think I'm going to find it very beneficial
I've done FlyLady before. Personally, I like the printables from The Secret Slob that help me keep the days in order. Her variations on the FlyLady make sense to me.
Keep doing this!!
Great tips thank you 😊
I have tweaked the fly lady method and have created 8 zones in my house. I skip the weekly home blessing and just do a very thorough dusting and vacuuming when I am in that zone.
Great job! I´m swedish and has also taught it is a big no no to wear shoes inside. /Jessica
That’s cool 😎 how do you put the red circle around what you were talking about ❤
I love your cleaning videos so much! :) About the dusting: we have many books. Thousands. It would be nice to dust the bookshelves weekly, but we don't even do it monthly. :D I want to develop this, but our ceiling is 13 feet high, and the bookshelves reach the top in our living room, so I don't have the tools or the mood for it in general. 🙃
you sure got a lot done!
No lie: when I saw your husband I said "oh!" and my hands started flapping like an idiot. It was like I saw the Loch Ness monster lol
Fly lady is like the Bible of cleaning routines. Tried and true.
Love this!
Omg I need this hahaha thanks girl!
