Simply Clean: The Proven Method for Keeping Your Home Organized, Clean, and Beautiful in Just 10 Minutes a Day

Omg this lady is a genius! I am so inspired and excited to have a system to keep a beautiful and clean home. I just finished her book in 24 hours and had jump started her routine earlier this week through the checklists on her website. Honestly, people, if you do exactly what she says, it does only take 15 minutes a day. You have to do it literally - if I hadn’t cleaned the floors on bathroom day, it would only have taken 15 minutes to do all 3 bathrooms. This is assuming that you are also not needing to clear the counters (because you do that on the daily), you’re not washing your bathroom rugs (that’s an extra for floor day), and you clean your showers when you’re in them. Dusting the entire house can also take just 15 minutes if you already declutter every day and have clean surfaces. If you have to declutter as you go (I did), it will take longer. I’m just starting to implement all of her routines but I can see if you do the 5 daily tasks every day, then the weekly tasks can take just 15 minutes a day. I love her rotating schedule. I’ve tried to break up cleaning tasks into different days of the week but her system is better. Really, separating the floors from bathrooms and vacuuming is genius so it’s less time spent each day. I love that changing sheets and towels have their own day. The catch up day and not worrying if you skip a day because it will show up again next week is also genius. I’m super excited to stay on top of this so I can use Fridays for decluttering tasks. I’ve wanted to declutter different sections of the house but always felt I needed to clean first (honestly, I did need to clean first). Also doing laundry daily is totally possible even if you’re just a two person household. We are, and on bathroom day I did a load of bathroom rugs and on dusting day I did a load of dinner placemats and the table runner - two sets of laundry I usually put off to prioritize clothes so they rarely get done. Doing laundry every day I think will result in a cleaner house, for sure. Anyway, for me this book and system are pretty life changing. My overwhelming 4 story town house (not that large in square feet but lots of stairs), as well as my pregnancy fatigue had pretty much paralyzed me from cleaning, but this system is super motivating so I don’t have to do have marathon cleaning days (which to be honest I hadn’t done in a while) and it’s just a few minutes a day so I can spend my time on other more enjoyable activities (as opposed to spending a day off stuck in the house intending to clean but too overwhelmed to start). I promise I’m not a lazy person but pregnancy and working and climbing four stories kicked my butt. Anywho, super pumped about this! I’m just going to start with her basic monthly checklist and try to do her decluttering checklist a task at a time on Fridays and hopefully the house will be in a great shape, as well me having better cleaning habits before this baby comes in 2.5 months. Hooray! PS - Cleaning hack: use a dry swiffer to clean your bathroom floors, then slap on 2 attached Lysol wipes to the end of the swiffer and mop. Super fast and no yucky wet dust balls or streaks anywhere!

Just a couple of chapters in and already many great ideas to implement ! A great book if you are feeling overwhelmed by cleaning or want to find a simple and flexible solution. Full of good ideas, tips and charts to inspire and guide ! Now that I have finished the book and am learning to put the ideas in practice, I have discovered a routine that really works for me ! The best thing about it, is that I don't have to be perfect ... or feel like a failure if I cannot do everything every day... the routine gives you the grace to make progress... without feeling like you have failed if you are not "perfect" at it. That is what makes it so unique. I also love the ideas for cleaning specific rooms and specific parts of each room. Her ideas are earth and allergy friendly too ! This was a very wise purchase for me and I would recommend it to anyone... and it would make a great gift !

This book is fantastic!!! It would be a great help for anyone who is just starting out living in an apartment or a house no matter what age. I am 69 and have been handicapped for over 20 years because of spinal problems. I have been sick with other problems also and as a result I have not been able to stick to a cleaning routine as I did years ago. As a result, my house is not as clean or as organized as it should be and I feel so overwhelmed. I am limited as to what I can accomplish in one day. Some days not able to do anything. But, the way this author breaks down cleaning tasks and gradually increases tasks once you have completed and adjusted to a cleaning routine makes so much sense!!! I discovered after reading this book that I actually was cleaning too much in the past when I was able to and probably wore myself out, and dread going back to my cleaning routine. Too overwhelming! I believe I can accomplish more by following her guidelines. I have not started yet, but plan on doing so tomorrow. I did have a similar routine in the past, but would repeat cleaning certain tasks more often than needed. If anything, you will feel enthusiastic about cleaning again with her no guilt and very organized approach.

Too basic and disappointing. It is the same content you can find on her blog. The price is not justified at all.

Al principio lo compré junto con otros libros sobre el mismo tema en Kindle, pero este libro es mucho mejor. Así que lo volví a comprar pero en físico (recomiendo mejor en físico), ya que quería tener a la mano las checklists que incluye en el anexo, asi como las recetas para hacer tus propios limpiadores. Es un libro super completo y el método se ajusta a un estilo de vida donde no puedes o quieres dedicar mucho tiempo para mantener tu casa limpia.

Se você procura um método para facilitar a rotina de limpeza da sua casa, esse não é o livro ideal. Os primeiros capítulos ela promete um método revolucionário, que na verdade consiste em fazer o mínimo de limpeza e adiar o que você não estiver com vontade de fazer. Só dei duas estrelas pelas receitas de limpadores naturais que são bons.

Love that the book allows you to start either with a 7-days jump-start or just go ahead to the 28-days challenge. Lots of great advice + lists during the chapters.

I have just succeeded (almost) the first seven day plan doing no more than 10-20 minutes a day and the results are amazing. Part of my right arm is injured so doing more than that is very fatiguing for me. Great book. Voilà j'ai presque réussi le projet de 7 jours en faisant 10-20 minutes par jour et ma maison commencent à ressembler à quelque chose. J'ai un léger handicap du bras droit et faire plus que cette durée me fatigue. Le livre est très bien avec quelque petits points d'humour.
