I do a version of this where I go into a messy room, feel overwhelmed and turn on the timer just to see what I can do in 5 minutes. When the timer goes off I move onto a different room and do 5 minutes there. It's not so boring & it REALLY makes a difference; am always amazed in what I can accomplish in five mintues. I usually have music on to motivate me too!
Kathleen Sauer That’s a great idea! So instead of mindlessly going back-and-forth between rooms all day which is what I do and none of my rooms actually get finished I’ll actually focus on one room for five minutes that might help me out. Thanks!
This little tip has changed my life-instead wasting time & energy of dread, I just do it. I feel so much better after the task is completed. This is now a habit after almost two weeks. Thank u sooooo much. Keep sharing. You are very much appreciated.
it's not lazy, it's clever. We have to clean regularly so quick tips like these are great and make it less of a chore...you give us a great idea and show how it's done too, so we can think, yes I can do that too- so off I go to do some cleaning....
I love you, and get very tired watching you go! Thanks for the help! I'm 62, raised 6 kids working, my Mom died when I was little so my Dad ,brother and me lived like bachelor's. We cooked and did dishes, but that was it! I live in a filthy house, and you are showing me stuff I never dreamed of cleaning. Thank you!
Roxanne Joyner There's a Good Saying-"Never Waste an Up" It means if U're Going by something Out of Place-Grab it on the Way By, and Put it where it Goes. Instead of going somewhere Empty-Handed! Saves alot of Steps L8tr...
Thank you for inspiring me... going to share this tip with my kids and their wives when they get married... I cleaned a bunch of things.. infact 3 rooms! ... Each time I began a task I started counting 60 seconds. Wow! Got a lot done.. but found that I did about 15 things (not counted in the one minute) ... hehe. Total .. about an hour.. (included some mending of clothes).. yes I'm a mom. Feeling good about myself.
Made my bed, dusted a shelf in the bedroom and quickly vacuumed the room while watching! I feel so accomplished to have got all that done in ten mins. Room isn't perfect but I see a lot of one or two min things that will help in the berm alone! Thanks for the heatwave inspiration. I've been waiting for a cooler day.
I love you!! I am a mother of two young children and constantly find myself overwhelmed by the overload of tasks. THIS sounds fun and I am eager to see what I can get done in 1 minute or less!! Thank you so much for this!!
Lol I thought I was the only one who mopped the shower, after I got a back injury I had to figure out a way to clean smarter without straining my back. Really enjoyed this video ^_^!
I bought some little suction cup hooks once that you put on your shower wall, hung up the blinds, and sprayed them down. Worked great. Love your videos!
I love the makeup tray. I don't have counter space in my bathroom so I keeps makeup in bags but I have to dig around for stuff. The bin system seems better.
I like the simplicity. One minute may not be enough time to do some things, but then I'd rather set a smaller goal or add an extra minute than start off with more. Nothing wrong with splitting the bathroom up into a few minute-tasks if need be. I think I'd still get each task done quicker than if I said 5 mins to clean the whole thing, or whatever. Not that I've really cleaned my bathroom this year.
Thank you so much for this video. I stumbled upon it feeling really overwhelmed with my messy home. I'm proud to say you inspired me to set a timer and see what all I could accomplish in a minute. 45 minutes later and my home is completely clean. Thanks again.
I use dollar store brooms to scrub my tubs/showers. First scrubbing bubbles. I leave that a while while I do the toilet and sink and then I sprinkle some cleanser and scrub the tub and shower walls. Comes out sparkly.
Thank you. I have used the one-minute rule for years and I know that it works. So, now you have now told me to expand upon its use and I will work on doing so. I am sure that I will benefit. I appreciated the video.
when I had a toddler and after he ate the highchair was a mess, I'd put the chair in the shower for 5 minutes w hot water, after that all the sticky stuff came off easily with a dry rag. I did this once a week or so just wiping down daily. This was the "deep clean" i did once a week or so so get out the nitty gritty in the seams etc..
Oh my gosh! You rock!! That's a phrase I use all the time: Work smarter; not harder! I hate cleaning, but I love it when my house is clean, so I've implemented a lot of your ideas, to help me keep my house clean!! Thanks for sharing your ideas!
I love the fact that you and Sophie from My Great Challenge, prefer not to use a bucket and just use the mop over the sink. I have had every mop you can name, including the finest whizz mops, but I have to keep rinsing them under the tap, otherwise dirty water goes back on the floor again. I managed to get one with a double bucket, but you could hardly put any water in it, as they were not very big. So now I have seen you do the same, I been trying to get a Casabella mop, but they do not do them in the UK. So then I saw your Bee mop, so googled and no one over here does them. However, I have managed to get a very similar one, from a local shop called Lakeland, that they call the Squizzo mop, which is the same design as the casabella and bee mop, that I ordered today and can't wait for it to arrive, so I can not only do my floor with it, but also the bathroom tiles. Thank you ladies for all your hard work and inspiration you have given me. I was in such a muddle and got so stressed when it came to cleaning and getting organised. I now have conquered my kitchen and it always looks nice and tidy now. I have got the family all trained watching you guys and we now wash up as we go along. We never go to bed leaving an untidy kitchen, or bathroom. Lounge is getting there, but the main bugbear is my bedroom, as my lot use it as a dumping ground. Will get there in the end.
Brilliant as usual! I can do anything in one minute :-). I think we psych ourselves out when we look at cleaning, thinking it will take much longer than it actually does. As a result, we freeze and the task just gets worse and worse.
This made me laugh, but put things in a simple new perspective for me....im about to rapidly attack my chores...and setting a timer for a min a chore will keep me from getting stuck or distracted....super helpful!!! Thank u!!!
I know people who are "clean" but they're homes are untidy and disorganized because they obsess over something being cleaned a certain way while the rest of the house goes down the tubes. Or their homes are super-clean, over-tidy spartan museums because they spend too much time cleaning and you don't really want to visit them because you and your family are not allowed to sit here, step there, put your drink there. For these people, floors, surfaces have to be cleaned with a very specific cleaning product, on hands and knees or not at all. Cleaning most things this way is time-consuming and hard to maintain. That kind of cleaning method is also overwhelming. This video of yours is definitely one of my favorites because it will help me greatly. I'm a tidy person but not a scrubber (I'm a lazy cleaner).
Grrreat cleaning tips! Using a mop on the floor shower, spot cleaning the mirror, all great ideas.I never knew you could literally wash your window blinds in the shower. Can't wait to try that. 1 minute or approximately 1 minute is PERFECT cleaning time for me! Good video..Thanks for sharing!
Good job, thanks for the motivation!! I bought a Hoover Steam Mop with a triangular, swivel head that gets into the corners. It comes with 3 reusable pads (machine washable) and heats up in less than a minute and it's so easy to use and store. Less than $100 from Amazon. It's the BEST investment I've made in a long time when it comes to cleaning tools. I no longer hate to mop!!!
I sooo needed this motivation! My hubby and three kids have been sick this past week also and I'm EXHAUSTED and feeling lazy!!! Thanks so much for this great video!!
Oh my gosh, cleaning the shower with a mop is so clever! I never would have thought of that, but I love it and I'm trying it later today. I go the SUPER lazy route and use one of those sprays you don't have to wipe off after every shower, but sometimes the tile needs a good scrub. I'm giving your method a try.
Your videos thru the years have literally changed how I organize and clean. Love you and your fam and printables ALL OF IT. I get way too excited when you post a video :)
OK, it took me more than one minute I still managed to mop the kitchen this AM! Actually, I mopped the kitchen and foyer. I swept yesterday evening to get ready for the morning. I also heard you voice this AM in regards to SPOT clean my mirror. I had two dusters so I put one set upstair and one down. God bless you dear - God bless you!
You are amazing!!!! I like how quickly you cleaned your house. I am soooo excited to try this out with the help of my 9 year old daughter. We both enjoyed your tips. Thank you!
Way to go with the dusting idea! I keep a set of cleaning supplies upstairs and down so I do not have to go up and down the stairs constantly to get what I need. I am going to ADD one each of these dusters to those bins!
You are quite right. I can vacuum my entire apartment 330 square feet, in seven minutes. When I discovered this, by timing it one day, years ago, I felt ashamed that I had ever delayed or put off vacuuming the floor. . Seven minutes is nothing, the vacuumed (rubber stud) floor stays clean looking on average for five days duration.
I use to use a mop and bucket until I found the Swiffer mop. I love it so much better. You add a liquid bottle of cleaning solution on the back and spray the floor as needed while you go. You use a mop pad on the bottom of the mop and toss when done. No more dunking in the water and wringing it out.
Your Slob to Clean Freak video brought me here. Your enthusiasm is consistent. Love it! New subscriber...I'm sooooo motivated! Thank you for sharing! :0
OhMyGoodnessGraciousAlive! THANK YOU! I truly appreciate your videos. I love your sweet disposition, you are so honest. And you give me the go-ahead to use short cuts, which serve the same purpose as what would ordinarily take all day, starting with making my infamous time wasting "List of All the Things I Need to Do in Life Before I Start Cleaning Today". I spent 1 hour and 15 minutes last week watching a video titled "How to Clean Your Entire 3-Level House in Five Minutes or Less". Lesson Learned; I was 1 hour and 20 minutes older now, with only my dust rag and can of Pledge in hand. Thank you❣
Love that your not trying to be perfect because real life isint !,there's just not enough hrs in a day as a mum.As always brilliant video watching you always cheers me up ! Thanks for sharing!
I just love you! Your tips are amazing! I've been feeling so overwhelmed with my house but after watching your video, I'm getting up now to clean. It was hilarious when you were making your bed because it looked like you threw the cat. haha
i need to dust my ceiling fans too!!....yes I use the glorox bleach cleaner too...and tilex for mold and mildew...i find if I spray clean after I shower along with my shower liner that really help keep my bathroom staying clean and fresh...and clorox wipes ....ooo i never thought of tossing the blinds in the shower to clean them!!!...these were some great tips!...so glad I found your channel
Never thought about the mop in the shower.. It's really smart lol think I'll be doing this instead of getting on my hands and knees to clean it! Thank you for the tips!!
I mop my mirrors and windows, too. Just spray the glass with Windex, place a sheet if paper towel over a clean dry sponge mop and start mopping, it's a little tricky keeping the paper on the sponge but it gets easier with practice. Takes a fraction of the time.
I don't care for bottom sheets either - i much prefer the softest blanket i can find as my bottom sheet (like the supersoft microPlush ones ... absolute Heaven, especially sleeping au naturale :-)
What is a 'B mop'? Or, maybe I misheard, is it 'D' or 'V' mop? After years of frustration, I finally found the perfect mop - the one made by OXO, costs a little more, but so worth it. I have used the kitchen sink, too. I understand some think that's gross, but if you wash and sanitize the sink after, what's the difference, really? Also, I always use two containers, one with hot water with a small amt of cleaner (Simple green or other), and the other with plain water to rinse the mop. With only one bucket, you're really just spreading dirty water around. Try it, makes a difference. And, thanks for all your tips!
My parents made me make up my bed when I got up in the am and that habit has stayed with me .....it takes less than a minute and it keeps pet hairs, dust, etc from getting btwn the sheets, and at bedtime its ready for me to dive in✌
Awesome ideas. Is it ok if I don't like you anymore cos now I've got less excuses? lol! Thanks heaps. xxxx One hint tho - I scrub the shower while I'm in there and my conditioner is working. =) I have a scrubber and the cleaning cream and scrub away. Now I never feel like I clean it and it's always fab and gets done several times a week.
Ugh. Perfectionism is definitely my issue. So if I can't find the time to clean perfectly, I don't clean at all. Crazy, huh? Watching this video seems to have made something click in my head. I have 1 minute to do things. Even if it is just one thing at a time. Let me just see how this works :)
thank you so very much. I so needed this motivation. I am older and put things off that I should be doing right now. Be blessed and keep up the great work
This is my go-to video when I need motivation to do my own chores at home (where I don't have the motivation of being paid to clean)! Main thing I choose to do different is no Fantastic or bleach products etc. Vinegar, baking soda, and/or phosphate-free dish soap are all good at scrubbing up the bathroom. Vinegar spray and hydrogen peroxide spray replace bleach and Lysol.
My occupational therapist suggested I try the one minit rule, took me 3 seconds to forget what it was and 3 weeks to look it up. It does look like a good idea though, I should try it.
You have a beautiful home! I am totally stealing the mopping the shower tip. I usually do get in there with a sponge, but maybe this can be easier to keep it clean between big cleans. Thanks.
Although longer than one-minute, I unload the clean dishes and load the dirty dishes into the dishwasher while I'm waiting the 2 mins my chai takes in the microwave. I always thought it took longer to do it but then one day I did it, and I couldn't believe it was actually the same amount of time!
Norwex envro and Norwex Window cloth is what I use on windows and mirrors. Less then a minute. Not time consuming at all. Wipe with wet.. wipe with dry... done!
I absolutely love this video. Thank you for making it. :) I feel motivated to pick up my room and other areas of the house lol and like you said, "work smarter, not harder." Have fun with your dog. :)
I do a version of this where I go into a messy room, feel overwhelmed and turn on the timer just to see what I can do in 5 minutes.

Thanks, it's so true!
This lady is brilliant with the one minute concept!
+Jay Richest OMG this is the way to clean!
I always used this at work at home I try to pretend I'm getting paid

Your videos have changed my house thank you 1000 times
Definitely going to use the 1 minute rule. I am a disabled mom of 5 and this is going to change my life. Thank you for being so real. Bless you! :-)
I know! She is so real! I struggle to be organized and this will really help me.

I think this is my favorite inspiration of all time for a procrastinator like me. I came back to it years later to remind me!

Why is there an iron in your shower? lol
I would say your smart not lazy! 💟
Great tips!
Your home is so spotless nd very neat, I love this one min cleaning, I must try it with the hubby lol! Thanx for the tips.
You are amazing!!!! I like how quickly you cleaned your house. I am soooo excited to try this out with the help of my 9 year old daughter. We both enjoyed your tips. Thank you!
Great tip...anyone can find the time for one minute cleaning...love it!
I didn't do any of my routines today. Decided to be lazy.....but after watching your video I was motivated and started cleaning. Thanks! :)
This is great! I have practiced the one minute rule all week and my house is super clean and I feel like I am cleaning less. Thank you!
I love all these tips, especially cleaning the bathroom shower. I use a swiffer to clean my shower wall and other walls in our home.
Wonderful tips! Thanks for sharing, I'm pulling out my old trusty timer today!
Awesome tip! You are so right... it's amazing what can be done in 1 min :) You have helped change my house so much!! thanks!
I like how your channel doesn't just benefit your viewers but it benefits you also because it keeps you accountable for keeping up with things :)
Way to go with the dusting idea! I keep a set of cleaning supplies upstairs and down so I do not have to go up and down the stairs constantly to get what I need. I am going to ADD one each of these dusters to those bins!
Those swiffie things are great! I use them all the time. I keep one in my nightstand.
You are quite right.
I can vacuum my entire apartment 330 square feet, in seven minutes.
When I discovered this, by timing it one day, years ago, I felt ashamed that I had ever delayed or put off vacuuming the floor.
.
Seven minutes is nothing, the vacuumed (rubber stud) floor stays clean looking on average for five days duration.
I use to use a mop and bucket until I found the Swiffer mop. I love it so much better. You add a liquid bottle of cleaning solution on the back and spray the floor as needed while you go. You use a mop pad on the bottom of the mop and toss when done. No more dunking in the water and wringing it out.
Like the idea of cleaning the blinds in the shower 👍🏽
You rock.... it’s hard to be a working Mother of 2 and have a clean home.... luv it!
thank you, I use to think mopping would take forever and kept putting if off most times but now I'm going to do the one minute rule! love your vid
I set the timer for 20 mins and stay in that room until the timer rings, I cannot rush around like you!
Your Slob to Clean Freak video brought me here. Your enthusiasm is consistent. Love it! New subscriber...I'm sooooo motivated! Thank you for sharing! :0
This is brilliant. You always come through with awesome tips on your videos right when I need them most! Thank you so much!
I love time savers. It frees up extra time for watching my favorite TH-cam channels....lol. I'm planning on using a few of these tips. Thanks.
You'd love the book From Pigpen to Paradise!!! I love you!
it's your fault I cleaned my bathroom today ;-) thank you

with 5 kids its hard to keep the house clean but I do like that 1 minute rule will try.. thank you.. 😊😊😊😊
Thank you Cluutterbug! 😁👍
Aww good to see the family cat again; was afraid maybe something had happened to her since you added another pet to the household.
I just love you! Your tips are amazing! I've been feeling so overwhelmed with my house but after watching your video, I'm getting up now to clean. It was hilarious when you were making your bed because it looked like you threw the cat. haha

I hate sheets, they are useless and end up on the floor after the night. I use a fitted sheet, and a blanket. Screw that. lol
Yeah but I hate washing blankets so I don't want to do it as often.
I don't care for bottom sheets either - i much prefer the softest blanket i can find as my bottom sheet (like the supersoft microPlush ones ... absolute Heaven, especially sleeping au naturale :-)
I agree and do the same thing. Sheets are so pointless! lol
I learned to live without flat sheets when I moved to Germany. Can't even find them here. Yes they are totally useless
My husband hates sheets too! But they are designed to keep our filth off the comforter lol. I love the feeling of sliding down under the sheets too.
You motivated me! I had planned on spending 4 hours doing my bedroom and master bathroom! Just got my Saturday back!
I make my own version of Fantastic w/ Bleach. I use 1 c Dawn and 1 c vinegar to clean the shower. Just a tip.
I LOVE love love this one minute rule!!! I'm always so overwhelmed so this is great!!
I love this I have four kids and a hubby at home and I feel like I'm always cleaning i think I may try this out

I have used the kitchen sink, too. I understand some think that's gross, but if you wash and sanitize the sink after, what's the difference, really? Also, I always use two containers, one with hot water with a small amt of cleaner (Simple green or other), and the other with plain water to rinse the mop. With only one bucket, you're really just spreading dirty water around. Try it, makes a difference. And, thanks for all your tips!

I love your channel, its really helping me be motivated.
My parents made me make up my bed when I got up in the am and that habit has stayed with me .....it takes less than a minute and it keeps pet hairs, dust, etc from getting btwn the sheets, and at bedtime its ready for me to dive in✌
Awesome ideas. Is it ok if I don't like you anymore cos now I've got less excuses? lol! Thanks heaps. xxxx One hint tho - I scrub the shower while I'm in there and my conditioner is working. =) I have a scrubber and the cleaning cream and scrub away. Now I never feel like I clean it and it's always fab and gets done several times a week.
just what i needed to see! It's not that hard to keep a house clean, but we get lazy all the time. Great tip! thank you for making this video. :D
Ugh. Perfectionism is definitely my issue. So if I can't find the time to clean perfectly, I don't clean at all. Crazy, huh? Watching this video seems to have made something click in my head. I have 1 minute to do things. Even if it is just one thing at a time. Let me just see how this works :)
Thanks mother of four n always with a not so clean house I'm definitely going to try it.
you live near a railway line, love that sound!
thank you so very much. I so needed this motivation.
I am older and put things off that I should be doing right now.
Be blessed and keep up the great work
You freakin ROCK....I SO NEED THIS IN MY LIFE. THE AMAZING 1 MIN. RULE..LOL...AND THE BLINDS IN THE SHOWER... GENIUS
I got a puppy while I was pregnant with #4 and it was the biggest mistake ever!! So much work!!
LOVED YOUR 1-min bed makeover!!!
I like this 1 min rule, very motivating once you do it in a min, I start something else and then I can't stop cleaning lol.
This is my go-to video when I need motivation to do my own chores at home (where I don't have the motivation of being paid to clean)!
Main thing I choose to do different is no Fantastic or bleach products etc. Vinegar, baking soda, and/or phosphate-free dish soap are all good at scrubbing up the bathroom. Vinegar spray and hydrogen peroxide spray replace bleach and Lysol.
I love your videos. Before my house was dirty now I have a clean one and have new tricks
My occupational therapist suggested I try the one minit rule, took me 3 seconds to forget what it was and 3 weeks to look it up. It does look like a good idea though, I should try it.
You have a beautiful home! I am totally stealing the mopping the shower tip. I usually do get in there with a sponge, but maybe this can be easier to keep it clean between big cleans. Thanks.
Your mop is clean so really that's fine.
i clean house on commercial time when watching my fave SHOW
bamissfa this is what I am about to do today! Commercial breaks are about 2 minutes. Let’s see what I can do!
Suggestion: It's even MORE FUN if you have a beer first....especially if you haven't had a whole beer in more than a year! Yeah. THanks for the tip!
You should have your own show! Very organized!
I'm just gone to say it you rock you help make my life so much easier
Although longer than one-minute, I unload the clean dishes and load the dirty dishes into the dishwasher while I'm waiting the 2 mins my chai takes in the microwave. I always thought it took longer to do it but then one day I did it, and I couldn't believe it was actually the same amount of time!
Norwex envro and Norwex Window cloth is what I use on windows and mirrors. Less then a minute. Not time consuming at all. Wipe with wet.. wipe with dry... done!
I absolutely love this video. Thank you for making it. :) I feel motivated to pick up my room and other areas of the house lol and like you said, "work smarter, not harder." Have fun with your dog. :)
This really is a helpful video!! Glad I watched it.
