Welcome to Homemaking Tips Tuesdays where contributing writers share helpful homemaking tips so you can feel more successful caring for your home and family.
{This week post by Jaimi}
Are you into speed cleaning? A friend of mine told me about her speed cleaning videos on YouTube, and I had to check them out for some motivation and ideas.
Speed cleaning is basically doing a quick cleaning routine through your whole house to straighten and clean while not spending tons of time.
Those YouTubers really like to speed up their videos, so it really gets you motivated to clean!
This is a great topic for Homemaking Tips Tuesdays, because who doesn’t want to find a great cleaning routine? I know it is so helpful to have an established cleaning routine…even if it took me almost 3 years to get it figured out thanks to how much time I needed to spend with my kids.
Go easy on yourself if you can’t clean your whole house in one day. My friend Kendra’s videos will really show you a great checklist of ideas for tackling cleaning and straightening all in one go.
Kendra and I walk every week. She is a good friend and a devoted mom. I recently found out about her YouTube channel and why she started it. Her reason for sharing her videos is similar to my reason for starting this blog. It’s amazing how God brings two people together.
We actually met at MOPS when Kendra braved walking to my essential oils table at our MOPS Mom Mall. We’ve been building a friendship since.
If you don’t have mom friends that you can be real with-sharing your accomplishments and your failures without judgement-you need to get some!
Little did I know that Kendra was sharing on YouTube, and she did not know I had a blog. I want to share with you some speed cleaning tips that Kendra shared. Watching these makes me want to clean something!
Speed Cleaning Tips
Daily Cleaning Routine
This cleaning routine video is a great motivator. It takes you room by room to run down a checklist of straightening and cleaning tasks. Clean along with Kendra and you’ll be done in a flash.
Quick Morning Routine
Got a moms group to get to, or a playdate to make? This quick morning routine will help you feel accomplished before leaving the house.
Kendra takes you through her morning routine when she has an event planned with the kids outside of the house. Jot down the tasks you want to complete before you leave and work through them in speedy fashion. Then when you get home it won’t feel like your to do list is super long.
Kitchen Speed Clean
If you just want to complete some zone cleaning try this quick video about getting that kitchen in order. The mountain of dishes will be clean and put away before you know it!
Refrigerator Cleaning
I have shared tips for keeping the refrigerator organized, but what about cleaning it? Kendra has a great step by step plan for getting it all cleaned out, arranged well, and put back together so you can feel the accomplishment every time you open the refrigerator door.
The beauty of these speed cleaning videos is that Kendra is a real life mom of 2, stay-at-home mom, and she keeps a clean house. She can do it and I love that she shares her tips with us so we can do it too.

Thanks for sharing this. The advice about rating tasks with how urgent it is to clean them up, and about how there isn’t roll over or “catch up” days when it comes to cleaning is especially useful. I’m guilty of procrastinating on things then trying to do it all at once on the weekends!
Procrastinating or getting caught up in more pressing kid related events that pop up…either way, these tips help so much! I am glad they will be helpful for you. 🙂
Great tips! All the videos are very helpful. You have a very interesting article. Thanks!
Very interesting article. It is really important to teach your kids how to keep their rooms clean right from the start. Thanks for writing.
So true! Teach them young.
