Do you ever need some motivation to clean your house? If not, please share your wisdom. If so, you’re in good company. I’ve been sorely lacking in the motivation department lately. That’s part of the reason I invited my parents over for dinner last week. There’s no better motivation than having company, right? But we can’t invite people over every day so that’s where “clean with me” videos come in handy. Along with grocery hauls and “what’s for dinner?” videos, these are my favorite things to watch on YouTube.
I decided to film before and after videos last Thursday when I was cleaning and share them with you just in case you could use a bit of motivation, too. Or if you’re just curious what my house looks like. That’s a totally valid reason to watch these.

Here is what my house looked like before:
And here is the after:
I cleaned for an hour and a half. That gave me a tidy and relatively clean house. Clean enough, anyway. I didn’t do any deep cleaning or organizing. This was just a basic cleaning – sort of like the FlyLady’s Weekly Home Blessing. And speaking of The FlyLady, would you be interested in me doing a FlyLady series of some sort? This past April I did a 31 day FlyLady Baby Steps series in my Facebook group – Make Over Your Life With Dee. I could do something along those lines either in that group or here on the blog. Leave me a comment and let me know if you’d like something like that.

How long does it take to clean your whole house on average?
It depends on how thoroughly. I would say 4-6 hours but I no longer have the energy to do that in one day.
