I love the commitment that goes into some of these cleaning videos.. "let me just purposely splash something on my nice couch for a demonstration." I could never go through that extra work 😂
@@JB-jo8gv What's funny about this way of thinking is a different color couch won't be less dirty than a white couch. It just doesn't look as dirty but still is. Denial goes a long way I guess haha
My mom thought me two rules for cleaning: top to bottom and dry to wet. If you wet wipe your bathroom sink and then dry dust from the cabinets above all the dust is going to stick to your clean, wet sink and look even worse. Such basics but a great point to start, especially if you have to deal with a big mess and don't know where to start :) And I do really follow the low maintenance rule for decor/furniture/clothes/etc 😅 if something feels like a pain to clean I am not buying it 🚫 there are so many options on the market for different things that I can always find something that I like that is also easy to maintain clean
Top to bottom works for everything EXCEPT when it comes to washing walls. If you start at the top of a wall and soapy wash water runs down onto the still unwashed wall below, it can create a lighter colored streak that you will almost never be able to get the wall around it to match, no matter how hard you scrub (it sounds weird I know) So walls should always be washed from bottom to top so that any dripping wash water doesn't leave a permanent, lighter colored streak. 😊😊
@@kikialeaki1850 yes, especially the kitchen because grease is airborne when cooking until it cools and sticks on your clothing and walls. I know alot of people live in apartments but honestly when you have your own home, cook outside.
One thing to add, do it whole you have something else working. Like... do laundry, and then do some dusting. Turn on the rice cooker and then vacuum. The act of doing 2 things at once makes you feel like, you're getting more done when in reality you aren't. Even for me, I play builder automation games where I set it, walk away and do cleaning, come back, check on it, and continue. Those games often don't always need you to be present as there is some wait time so it's nice.
I feel this on a deep level, finding small things that make your life EASIER like minimising on table/desk clutter is SO GOOD - reducing space clutter is reducing mind clutter 😭This video gave me motivation to clean more
Thank you so much for this video! You have inspired me so much to clean and organize and make my space somewhere I actually enjoy spending time in! I am only 11 years old and still have much to learn, but this video was super helpful! My house burned down about a year ago and now I am moving into a brand new house where i am going to have my own space that i really want to keep clean. You have also inspired me in terms of video making, I wrote an essay about How To Krist Yu style videos!
Oh my gosh!! Thank you for responding!! The article is on wequil app (the app my sister build for the school we run called WEquil School) if you would like to see it. Unfortunately, TH-cam is not letting me send the link. Anyway, thank you for all your inspiring videos!!! @kristyu @@kristyu
Seriously every time I see it I always think such gorgeous natural lighting and cinematography. It’s so morning light for lack of a better term? It reminds me of my Dad waking up early and doing his tai chi, I’m eating cream of wheat/soy egg subtitles almost muted scooby doo before school with fresh air smell from the open doors. I have no other description for it 😅. Peaceful morning with fresh air. It’s crisp, modern, minimal but it still does feel natural, realistic and lived in. Peaceful but not uh eerily still for lack of a better word! Very cool 😎
We need more Videos, your Videos got me pumped last year when we moved into our new home and I really changed the way I organize and clean. Spring cleaning is coming soon and I need some motivation 😢😢😢
I don’t know why I am up at 1:30 in the morning when I have work tomorrow watching a cleaning video but your videography style is unique and nice. Good job.
Love your video ! & I was stunned when I looked down @ my feet and saw the same exact shoes as in your video ! I agree They’re the perfect indoor shoes for cleaning ! Wishing you all the best !
As a monotasker, I find it easier to run a marathon instead of doing a little each day. I struggle with stopping tasks and switching to new ones. Whenever I’ve tried to do a little each day I’ve accidentally ended up running marathons! Now I know how to plan around my strengths. I have enough clothing to last a whole month without washing and I rinse and stack the dishes to load all at once on the weekend. It doesn’t work with everything, but it definitely helps to not have to worry about doing those things everyday and possibly overdoing it.
I'm the opposite. While I get frustrated when I can't just complete one task, I get distracted easily. And, alot of the dsaly things repeat throughout the day...alot...so, I do better if I break non-dailies into much smaller chunks, and do no more than 3 of those smaller tasks per day, deoending on how lobg each smaller task takes, and squeeze them in while I'm working on one of the kazillion dailies. I also make sure that 2 days a week (weekend or whatever), I only do the daily tasks, to give myself a lighter load on those days.
I'm honest. I use the duster 1-2 times a week. all furniture, all surfaces. Computers, decorations, stairs and banisters. Pictures, lamps. decorative strips. Baseboards. Really everything! I have an extendable and also several normal ones. There is one in every car that you can use to clean quickly. I only wet wipe the surfaces if they are dirty with liquids or something similar. In most cases it's just dust. Just don't shake it, just wipe it up slowly, then you really need a lot less time to clean the house.
omg the squeeze bottle!! I hate my oil bottle, that will be a great change thanks. also the tray tip! my best tip is noise canceling headphones as I can listen to podcasts without running water or walking around disturbing the sound
Rule number 9 is so important!!💖 Although I always considered myself a messy person, since I moved into my own flat it's my fave activity. I usually clean on Fridays because I dont have university on that day so I dont have any other responsibilities except for cleaning on that day and it's so cozy. I put on some YT videos in the background, usually clean-with-me videos, open a candle or incense stick and make myself a huge cup of tea. Looking forward to this day the whole week. 😻
Aww your cat just chilling there so cute 🥰 great tips! I tell my kids what Items I would not buy again and show them how items can look clean but they are not. Xx
im so glad i found your channel!! i enjoy cleaning for the most part but sometimes i just need that extra little kick up the butt 😆your videos are the perfect motivation! thank you so much
you are 100% correct. I am lazy and I hate cleaning. Someone said "if it takes less than 2 minutes, just do it." it's amazing how many things can be done within 2 minutes, leaving more time for those cleaning projects that take more than 2 minutes.
Oh I need a link for that makeup thing! Trays and boxes (decorative ones) saved my life. They are clutter collectors, when they are full I go through them and throw away junk. Cleaning more often is so much easier, but I still don't have a handle on it.
Okay, the candle 🕯 in-between the tile is new for me. I wish I knew that sooner when I ue to have a hard time cleaning the tile back at my old apartment. 😭🤣 Great video by the way and your cat is adorable~
I'm like you clean a room a day then a day for vacuuming and washing floors. Our house is smallish so a room takes about 10 minutes. Oh and hubby usually does the laundry.
Woah you are sooo like me!!! I have all these nitpicks about cleaning that i always think about. I always think first - if i buy something, would it be easy to tc of and clean or not. I have a vacmop too and i love it sm!! I can clean oil spills in the kitchen so conveniently. I have a cat recently rescued and saw you have one too. What plants did you get that is safe for the home? When you cook, how do you prenvent it to come there? First time cat and hopefully plant parent. I also love your couch! If you don’t mind sharing, where is it from? Thank you for sharing!!! ❤❤❤
Go bare foot inside. You will feel where you miss with the vacuum cleaner. Plus wash wipe your shoe soles. You will be amazed with the dirt. Use old rags for this. Repurpose not buy
Just like if you cleaned houses for a living, you need good, supportive shoes for posture and for safety. I have 2 pairs of Skecher slip-on walking shoes. One is my house pair and the ither is out of the house. I DO slip out of my shoes when I need to feel if my floors are dry.
@RossLemon u do u. 😄 I prefer to avoid the mud, dirt,dog poop and pee,debris, sand, maybe paint and God knows wat else from entering our house. Means less cleaning up.
@PoeticAmmunition. house shoes...good, supportive house shoes...ones that are easy to slip into and out of as needed.They support your back and joints while you work, and act as a kind of buffer from banging your feet and toes. The key is, they are only for in the house, so they will not track outside dirt and grime into the house. Trust me. After years of wear and tear on my body, I finally gave in and got myself good house shoes. My back, joints, and toes, thank me for it. Our safety while cooking and cleaning in our house is just as important as it would be if we were working out at the gym or running in the park..or if we had a physically demanding job outside the home. Of course I give my feet time to breathe y taking my house shoes off when I'm taking breaks from running around the house

I am in the process of decluttering and cleaning my entire house, one area at a time. This is what my parents' generation referred to as "spring cleaning". The cleaning has gone well because, like you, I clean more often. Worst spots? Behind furniture that is rarely moved.😝
I love the commitment that goes into some of these cleaning videos.. "let me just purposely splash something on my nice couch for a demonstration." I could never go through that extra work 😂
😂😅😂
I simply would never purchase a white couch in the first place

I recently put cleaning under self care. Rather then chores. Perfect!!! Now I do it!!! Make life easier!

Love the holy trifecta. I realize that Ive been limping along without putting much thought into a proper cleaning plan (tool, technique, product).
The editing is 🤌🏼 ~perfection

Thanks for the cleaning tips. Your cinematography is peaceful and calming. 💜
Seriously every time I see it I always think such gorgeous natural lighting and cinematography.
It’s so morning light for lack of a better term?

Your videos are so satisfying, I’ve missed them so much but they’re always worth the wait
Love the video and editing and everything!!!! 😍
The candle grout sealer!!! Great takeaway. Thank you.

I have never regretted getting that vacuum ❤
Aww your cat just chilling there so cute 🥰 great tips!

Love these rules. The last bit of using your brain and moving your legs, was so fun. It brought a smile to my face. Thank you for posting.

Love the way you edited this video 🤩
Your cleaning videos are so soothing! I follow your tips from the last one and am truly so grateful for them. Thank you! 🥰

You can also wash the swiffer dusters in a mesh bag. It seriously works. I own a cleaning business and do this often.

I live by these rules as well! Still watched until the end because of your gorgeous presentation! Excited to see more from you, subscribed
Listen ❤ my girl just made a video with some really important rules and it's short enough and full enough to send to someone I live with to watch! 😂❤
0:23 that editing is so cool
such a great video thanks!!!!
hi!
great video!! i was just wondering what the organization tool (that lil box lol) you used was in 5:55 when you were cleaning off your desk!
Could you share where you purchased the coffee table at 7:37? It's beautiful.

The food looked so good at the end
I love your analogy of running a marathon.
This video is a wealth of cleaning tips, very useful! Thank you so much

The food looked amazing, u should make cooking videos too
I'm glad to bump to a recent video when searching for this for the first time :3
I had no idea they still make those Caboodle make up boxes 😁 ha!
Can you share what stain remover spray do you use for your fabric couch? Thanks!
Thank you Kristine!
Go bare foot inside. You will feel where you miss with the vacuum cleaner. Plus wash wipe your shoe soles. You will be amazed with the dirt. Use old rags for this. Repurpose not buy
Just don't wear shoes in the house 🙃
Just like if you cleaned houses for a living, you need good, supportive shoes for posture and for safety. I have 2 pairs of Skecher slip-on walking shoes. One is my house pair and the ither is out of the house. I DO slip out of my shoes when I need to feel if my floors are dry.
@PoeticAmmunition. No. I abide by Western customs, not Eastern ones. I will wear my shoes in the house.

3:45 best advice 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hiii, where did you buy the jewelry box from? I love the tips on cleaning but the jewelry box intrigued me.
Everytine you say a rule i say YES abd go to leave a like on the video while i already gave the like 😅
AMAZING.. ❤
tbh what i think is the most efficient way of cleaning easier and i have to do this myself again atm:
make a mess on purpose..i mean not really but it happens while doing so: declutter FIRST before doing anything else. and this kind of means: pulling everything out of every shelf and storage container. Giveaway or throwaway as much stuff that you dont actually have a strong need for regularly, and the sort the mess back in.
all of a sudden, you dont even have to clean that much anymore because you have way less stuff you need to clean in the first place.
and it also helps to really force myself to do daily cleaning but very little. even just 5 minutes not with the intention to clean messy stuff but to keep the already cleaned up stuff clean. in theory if you put in very little effort in keeping an area in the clean state, you ll never really have to clean up because it never gets messy
I'm watching this instead of actually cleaning.
Same 🫠
Me too
I am watching imagining someone cleaning my place 😭😭
Story of my life lol
I am in the process of decluttering and cleaning my entire house, one area at a time. This is what my parents' generation referred to as "spring cleaning". The cleaning has gone well because, like you, I clean more often. Worst spots? Behind furniture that is rarely moved.😝
loved this !
