Good morning Benita! I have my 7 year old son at home with me, with stomach flu. When he watched your video, he grabbed a cleaning cloth and immediately started to clean around the house. You are such a good influence even for kids!

9:35 "as I went through the rooms I picked up and put things back where they belong." That made me smile as the kitty was put onto the floor. xx

I'm not sure why watching you clean and organize is so satisfying. I was concerned a couple times your kitty was going to be shut away in the closet or get behind the washing machine. Thank you for these videos and is inspiring. 1% of Swedish trash only going into the landfill is amazing. Thanks you.

Benita: If you enjoy this video please give it a thumbs up. Me after seeing the cats in the video: Say no more 👍

I always admire this aswell. I also think it has something to do with the scandinavian culture. We're putting out a box with decluttered toys etc. regularly and people often throw their trash in it or throw the items on the floor. Very disapointing and sad

Such a great idea with the neighbours donation location. And so organised! Would love to see that in more countries.

It’s amazing how calming it is to watch how you clean and organize. I have gotten many good ideas from your channel and have been prompted to declutter in my own life. Thank you for making these videos. I am from Winnipeg in Canada where we do have a recycling system. And I recently discovered a textile recycling centre where I am going to be taking worn out clothes and linens.

I like your home so much! Calm, simple and beautiful! ♥

Happy to provide some motivation!

Until recently I pride myself on decluttering and staying neat and today. Three days ago we moved house for the first time in 20 years and I’m ashamed of the amount of “stuff” we have. With all my tidy concealed containers and built in furniture I can’t fit everything we have in a bigger house! To my surprise my husband is culling his tools. The best way I’ve found to declutter now is have a removalist transport heavy items and transport the rest yourself to realise the volume of items one owns. We’ve been moving our own small items for a week now and still have more to go. The new house looks like Benita’s storage before sorting in every room. I’ve been asked if I’m stressed. I’m not, just overwhelmed. My hat goes off to all of you who have moved house. Onwards and upwards from here. Take care everyone and “Hi” from Sydney Australia.

Thank you so much, Benita, for showing the ups and downs of keeping a house clean and happy! I especially loved your choice of soundtrack this time, because it was a little whimsical, a little funny with the maybe…tuba to show it’s work and pleasure making a home? Whatever it is, I love your filming style with great camera angles and how you really show how your process goes. Your kitties also make it so funny and sweet, and I’m so happy for you that you are enjoying life, making inspiring films, and helping us do better! ❤️

Giving things away at your housing association/apartment building is such a Nordic thing. I'm Finnish and live in the UK and here buying anything second-hand or getting a donated piece is pretty rare and often seen as a sign of poverty. My British husband has also never gotten used to me opening the bedroom windows in the morning, whatever the weather! :)

This is wonderful. Many thanks. I wanted to share a tip my mom and dad used to do that I still continue today: After I shower, I use a squeegie window cleaner on the tiles and the glass to remove excess water and steam. It keeps mildew at bay and then the big cleaning is less frequent. Take care, S

This was another great video. Knowing I was about to declutter my basement, a friend had sent me a few videos on decluttering from some very famous youtubers and they just weren't anywhere near as inspiring as yours.I went through your archives this weekend in search of your storage decluttering video. I really didn't want to do it but thanks to you Benita I was able to get my basement under control and looking pretty decent. It's a lot of work but I'll never let it get that bad again. Thanks for providing us with these well made videos that so mysteriously motivate us to want to do what we don't want to do!

I started watching your video, but paused it and decluttered my linen closet. I now have a box full of toiletries that will go to my local buy-nothing group. Thank you for the inspiration. I feel lighter already.

Hello Benita! I love the common area where you share items with your neighbors - that is such a great idea! So wonderful - in Sweden they burn 99% of the trash and convert to energy - simply amazing! I always want to get up and clean right after watching your videos - I feel very refreshed 😄 I love the color of wood on your floors - we have a lot of ceramic tile in our house warmed up with throw rugs - but easy to clean :) Our IKEA store has some brand new storage bins and different items for getting organized - excited to check them out. One habit from you that I did apply and keep up is - tidying once a week - it does help lighten the clean when I am doing a deep clean. Thank you again for compiling the lists that you have for reference to purchase some of the items you have - I can usually google search and find the items that are the same (different price) or similar - I am in Canada!😄❤😄

I'm sure people have talked about it, but I love the approach to the recycling being accessible both in proximity and ease of doing so. In the US, it is difficult to recycle textiles that aren't quite fit for donation if you live outside a major city, like us here in Iowa. (Hello from Iowa!)
