Result in the bed. Have a tip from hotel maids: Instead of attempting to tuck sheets underneath the finish from the bed mattress, pick up each corner from the bed mattress with one hands and tuck using the other. It’s faster.
Cope with dust. Utilizing a dry microfiber cloth, begin with a furniture piece in a single corner and come round the room clockwise. Dust each surface, working back-to-front and lifting knickknacks along the way, and dump the dust right to the floor. Your cloth must only touch each area of the surface once (no constant back-and-forth). Should there be a lamp around the nightstand, fix it top-to-bottom first, then dust the tabletop. Make use of your lengthy-armed duster on mirrors and paintings.
Vacuum. Begin with a back corner and vacuum the right path out of the door, using lengthy firm strokes. Save your time by only running the vacuum over each strip of carpet once—not two times. Don’t be concerned about missing one inch or more.
Zone 2: Bathroom
Approximate time: 9 minutes
Do your set-up. Spritz the sink, vanity, shower and tub together with your all-purpose spray and let sit.
Tackle the bathroom .. Sprinkle sodium bicarbonate in to the bowl, provide an intensive scrub using the toilet brush, then flush. Next, spray a microfiber cloth with all of-purpose spray and wipe lower the outdoors from the toilet and tank.
Clean the mirror. Spray on glass cleaner and, beginning within the top corner, wipe inside a circular motion.
Return to the sink. Make use of the toothbrush to rapidly scrub hard-to-achieve spots round the fixtures.Then, working back-to-front, begin in the corner and move horizontally, wiping the counter, vanity, fixtures and handles.
Wipe lower the shower and tub. No requirement for a complete scrub—just provide them with a fast swipe having a dampened cloth, then pull the curtain shut.
Mop the ground. Utilizing a water-dampened microfiber mop, rapidly mop the right path from the room, starting in a much corner and ending in the entrance.
Zone 3: Kitchen
Approximate time: 12 minutes
Perform the dishes. Load the dishwasher and begin the cycle.
Declutter. Spend just a few minutes removing any clutter from countertops—put products during the cabinets, stash papers inside a drawer. The emptier your counters, the cleanser your kitchen area looks.
Pretreat. Notice hard-to-remove gunk in your stove or countertop? Scrape up using the charge card. And employ the eraser sponge to tackle any persistent stains.
Clean the counters. Wet a microfiber cloth with all of-purpose spray and wipe countertops back-to-front, brushing crumbs to the floor.
Wipe lower appliances. Swipe the fridge, dishwasher and stove with
a moist cloth.
Tackle the ground. Beginning inside a far corner, sweep the right path out. Then provide the floor a quick once-over and done with a water-dampened microfiber mop, again working the right path out.
Zone 4: Family Room
Approximate time: fifteen minutes
Obvious the clutter. Rapidly scan the area to determine what’s unnatural. Stash scattered products like remotes and DVDS in drawers nicely stack magazines around the table.
Dust. Begin in the corner from the room, and stick to the same how-tos as with the bedrooms, working top-to-bottom and back-to-front so the dust falls to the floor. And for those who have blinds, swipe all of them with the lengthy-armed duster.
Make glass gleam. To wash glass surfaces, spray a microfiber cloth together with your glass cleaner and wipe in wide circular motions, working in one back corner towards the front.
Vacuum. Speed-vacuum yourself from the room, beginning within the farthest corner.

COMMENTS:
Jeimary Ramos: I gasped with the Frame idea. I Would of never thought of that! You have changed my life and I mean that. My house was a mess like I was just living in cluttered closets and unhappy with my living space. I made some serious changes and BINGED ON YOUR VIDEOS and all of my systems work, my girls closets are organized and wow just complete 180. I live at the dollar store now. my closets are organized, we stopped using all those cleaners and now use vinegar, essential oils and dawn. UGH thank you for changing my life. You really made me realize you don’t need tons of money to have a nice organized home with a tiny budget. <3 Amel Baa: the frame I will never think that is made like that
Ann NYC: Hi Katherine! I was wondering if you could do a video on how you budget? If you use a zero based budget or envelope system? I love your videos!
kurifurinkan: That little sign to remind your kids what they have to do in the bathroom is genius. We could use about six of those! Thanks for the printable and all the links!
Life of Aimée: Love Carson’s comments
kathy price: you are so cleaver with organization. I love the way you have the bath toys. This would have been great when my daughter was little, but, you tube wasn’t around and you were just a kid yourself. I have a small bathroom cabinet with no drawers, it just has 2 doors and I need to reorganize it. just not sure how yet. Thank you for all the great videos, I really enjoy them and your boys are so cute, I love the way Carson loves to help.
Christina Leaman: The decal on the frame is GENIUS! It looks so high end!
Christy At Home: I need that sign for my husband.
Julie Keenum: Cutest idea for a framed picture. I’m so going to do this. Great video
Hope Underwood: Thank you for this video. You are always an inspiration to me. I wish you were my neighbor so I could come over and admire your neat home.
Melinda Srinivasan: I love what you did with the frame!! I just purchased a spin mop and can’t wait to use it.
Andree Andrew: Carson and Owen could also be your SONshine!! : )
BiscuitNGravyTales: I always love the Carson end clips. Great tips about keeping stuff where it’s used.
LoomLilly: great video, I purchased the spin mop on your recommendation a few months back, and I LOVE IT
Gilda Crolla: Just wanted to say that I love your channel. Thank you!!
emotionallyinvestful: What a fortuitous video to come out today, I am tackling deep cleaning my bathroom today. Just finished up my kitchen/dining/living room deep cleaning yesterday so now I can start on my bathrooms. It’s been a struggle to keep the momentum going but I’m pushing through.
Melissa Geittmann: You rock! I have always been a very organized person. VERY organized. However, 2.5 years when we moved to TN we moved into a larger house with much more space. Both my sons have their own bath and then my daughters share one. THey are all 4 teenagers. And, you guessed it, don’t keep anything organized. I stressed about it so much but I gave up! I do my best with it!! I want to go back to when they all 4 (and my older son who’s now moved out) shared a bathroom and I could keep up with it!!!
itsShanaJaye and Family: I need that spin mop!!!
Nyleve “Evie” Campbsll: I always love your videos especially your organization videos.
Lilly White: You make me so excited to have kids! Can’t wait to do all these awesome things!!!
Patsy Kunchick: You were my first video I ever watched! And you are still my favorite!!! I have learned so much from you and I just wanted to say thank you!!!
Soo Nam: This is a bathroom video but your other video(kitchen organization video from last year lol) got me inspired and I swapped the content of my closets, I have two; one at the foot of my bed, the other a bit blocked by the vanity and can hold only small amount of clothes. The one at the foot of my bed is large but the door would open only half way and I started stacking clothes on my chair which eventually moved onto taking up the floors. But sth in your kitchen organization video got me thinking.. large closet isn’t what matters, the one that I can access easily is the one I’ll actually use! So I spend ‘half an hour’ and boom!!, half of the clothes lying around everywhere was gone 🙂 I now hav a closet to put away clothes that I wore that day. I actually use my closet everyday!!!! It sounds so obvious, but I just wasn’t able to do it. And of course my room was (and still kind of is) a mess. But I’m so pleased with this system that works and it’s so thrilling to see it work!!!!! I thank you so much!!!! I’m looking for bins to store t-shirts now, hopefully that would get rid of another pile of clutter, right? I just wish I lived in the states but I don’t and the items you recommend isn’t always available here, like the e-cloths. BUT the search will go on and it’s such a small change which doesn’t really require so much time either, haha I’m rambling but I feel like I can do this 🙂 Thank you for that, I really really appreciate you and your videos 🙂
