@@Judi.Lorrance Thornton. She use to do cleaning videos. Love her to pieces.

Absolutely loved this video, most relatable video I’ve ever watched. I have ADHD and so do my kids and I’ve started to realise although I love a lot of the “pretty” things it’s just too much for me to manage, I’ve came to realise my house needs minimal and functional. Thanks so much for your honesty xxx

Totally agree about cleaning your appliances after use. Vacuum cleaner,carpet shampoo cleaner. My ex husband instilled in me that you look after your tools and they will look after you. He’s a carpenter, not that it’s important, but he always looked after his tools. ❤

I just love you Lynn. You were the visitor cleaning video that I started watching. You’re very real and we share a lot in common. Stay blessed and I will continue to pray for your blessings and you being a blessing…

Sometimes we had to have a friend clean for us. It really helped. Life happens.

I love the hush method!!

I use the mesh pouches for games too and love it! Like Dawn from Minimal Mom says, it's all inventory we have to manage. I enjoy working on my home, getting it paired down so it is much easier to manage. My kids help out with it too and have gotten pretty good at it with me when we go through their toys. Even my husband, who hangs on to everything, has finally started to feel how nice it is to not be drowning in the clutter and has started with his stuff now too.

Oh girl I'm right there with you!!! My kids are grown & gone, but I have a giant slobbery fur baby & a husband. Food mess, dog slobber - just is never ending! Hardly finish cleaning it all & I need to start over! I'll probably die with a rag & spray bottle in my hand 😂😂😂

Lynn I always use the shout grease remover in the can for pet stains. I will also mix a tablespoon of oxi clean in a measuring cup with very hot water and pour it in to my cleaner. But the shout in the can works AMAZING!

I have been spring cleaning for the past 3 weeks, I live alone with a 2 year old Havanese pup. I get overwhelmed! I'm trying to minimize because I too am tired of picking up stuff, dusting, and then doing the same thing a week later, Ugh! So I now have 5 good size boxes ready to donate. Let someone younger and stronger dust and move my junk around. 😅 Little miss Emma ccracks me up, she's a doll . Thanks for sharing her with us ❤

Amen to decluttering in layers! Dawn the Minimal Mom says that if your house still feels hard to maintain, you have too much stuff. I have been decluttering for years, but now with a new baby, I find I can't maintain what I used to be able to maintain, so I need to declutter even further and make it more simple.

Emma is learning so much by working alongside you! She is adorable❤️

It is so comforting to see another Mama not have a pristine home. I feel like a failure sometimes when I am going thru a season when I can't keep it together. It is nice to know I am not alone. (I hope that came across the way I meant it...) Social media makes "you" feel like you gotta have it together all the time and I just can't. Especially in my current season. I appreciate you sharing your beautiful home being "lived in". 🤍

My mom always kept our home lovely and I would always be helping her. 10 children and a husband and a cat

I also tried a lot of stain removers. Then found ODORx Un-Duz-It Unleashed Pet Stain Remover and Odor Eliminator. It’s amazing. Had a bunch of old stains that kept popping up. Treated with this stuff, left it overnight and then used my carpet cleaning machine. Not a stain in sight. I actually went in with a black light as well to find all the hidden spots from when our dog was a puppy. Those are gone now too. I buy it on Amazon - comes in a big bottle and it’s concentrated so I just make a batch in a spray bottle.

Hello Lynn From Edmonton, Alberta. Canada . So refreshing to hear you tell it exactly like it is. You are so inspirational and I look forward to your videos so much. Thank you for you. Fondly, Dorothy.

You do a great job in inspiring...Thank you!!!

Yes, I miss Joanna's videos and go back and watch them from time to time. I definitely need to do my carpets too. Thanks for the motivation.

Hey sweet mama, I know life can feel like we can’t take a breath, sending you all the love & prayers. Listen to Gratitude by Brandon Lake, the tears flowed, just when I needed this at the right time.💜💜💜

I have been unknowingly "quieting the house" after evac decor season for years. My family used to make fun of me, but now when they walk into our home and it looks like we are moving out because only furniture is left, they love it! They always talk about how open and empty it feels. They love it, and they love anticipating the new seasonal decor ☺️

Hey Lynn You are such an amazing mother ❤ cleaning, cooking and doing everything to make your family happy. 😊 Have you got a new shark vacuum? How do you like it? Here in germany it is on sale for 230$ I would love to get it but idk if it is better than my dyson or not.

Got me motivated again!!! You are my absolute go to for cleaning and decluttering motivation. ❤ Thank you.

I LOVE your videos! They are extremely helpful. I have been on a decluttering journey and it is truely astounding how much stuff we can accumulate 😢

I loved the video lynn, your home is BEAUTIFUL ❤😊

Try giving consumable gifts for holidays,like something to eat or something that will be used and gone,so things dont build up so much,it worked well for us❤Jesus loves you❤You got this girl!

Cutest lil helper ever! 💗

Fabulous work on this video. Lot of heart and soul went into it. Thanks Miss Lynn. ❤❤

I was saying to my husband just a couple days ago that I feel like everything in our house is filthy! He says everything looks fine. I'm planning to get a big chunk of it done this weekend, it'll feel so much better.

I always appreciate how real life your videos are. I’ve recently moved and at my old home I had become so overwhelmed with everything that I was just doing the absolute minimum of cleaning and that just add to my depression and anxiety. Through watching your videos I did a massive declutter before packing and I’m finding I’m keeping on top of things more in the new place. So thank you for your inspiration and continued inspiration ❤️

Biokleen BacOut is my favorite for any pee or biological stains. I was introduced to it during my cloth diapering days and it’s still my favorite.

Hi Lynn, thank you so much for your content! I find you so relatable and I appreciate you so much. I too get very overwhelmed by the clutter and stuff that accumulates in my home. I find with everything else going on in my life, clutter in my home makes my mind feel very cluttered as well. Decluttering throughout the different phases of life is something I continue to do frequently, just like you. I was wondering if you could do a video showing the cleaning of your carpet cleaner next time you are cleaning your carpets? I would be very interested in seeing the process you described. Thanks again Lynn. Great job.

Omg everything you was explaining I felt that. I feel like that a lot when I'm cleaning. I'm happy I get it down but it gets so messy it crazy especially with toddlers and older kids.

💜👍23:25 I decluttered frequently aka PDS Perpetual Decluttering System 💜👍 yep! Me too!

Yep I hear you Lynn! I get overwhelmed at times especially when I have a huge week at work, so I try and tackle things one at time.

Hi Lynne! I work the ER a lot and for body fluids we use peroxide to remove blood, urine and face stains on our scrubs, we then use a Cavi-Wipe to disinfect our area on the scrubs, inside and out, that we cleaned with peroxide. Neither bleaches or fades our colored scrubs. I use peroxide on animal stains on our area rugs after putting towels on the area to absorb any residual fluids, then I put a bucket under the rug where the stain is and pour peroxide over it and allow it to drip through to the bucket, rinse with distilled water and repeat until the stain looks completely gone, empty the bucket, rinse it and then place it back under the treated spot and allow it to drip dry overnight, then I clean it with my carpet cleaner.

I put my decorative pillows and area rugs in time out for a while to see if I would miss them. I did not! So they were all donated and it’s amazing ow much cleaner my house looks! I love listening to Emma sing! Miss that! ❤️😔

Great idea!!

Love your videos! 🥰🥰 super motivating!

Thank you for the motivation. I needed it.

Thoroughly enjoyed your cleaning video as usual. I got tickled when we touched our mesh storage bags at the same time. I finally found my displaced label maker. Getting ready to make earbuds and bathroom USB (dental flosser, toothbrush charger, and stand) labels for mesh storage bags. Why does every appliance come with a USB charger? I will start on the cordless scrubbers next. Enjoy your weekend!

Love your videos! My favorite part is when you declutter. It motivates me to do the same.

Great vid! ❤ Love the idea of getting excess decor or furniture out of the way! That rug cleaning was unbelievable!! Recently had a few of mine done by Stanley steemer & it’s so expensive! Maybe the only solution is to buy cheap rugs & clean as best u can but replace them after 3-5 years?

❤❤❤ I just love seeing your baby girl help you clean! It was melting my heart watching her! 😊

My husband loves his books as well!

As an animal lover and owner of dogs and a cat, I definitely know how hard they are on a house. Over the years I’ve just learned to accept it as we will always have at least 1 dog. My kids are long grown and gone but I’m still cleaning up the animal messes.

Hi Lynn, I use Nature’s Miracle for pet stains and odor. Works great!! It neutralizes the odor.

❤ thanks for being so transparent with us and sharing your process. I'm asked the same. What are you decluttering, but I always manage to take 3 to 4 bags of just stuff.

You are doing a great job 🌞

I have those mesh bags too. I use them to organize my granddaughters toys and puzzles. Love them! I also use them to organize our travel stuff.

Looks amazing

Oh my goodness! I had no idea the “hush” method was a thing. It’s just something I would find myself doing on occasion to rebalance my space. Highly recommend! I’m new here and you are my people for sure!!!! Love this!

For Ruby I would try Coat Defense shampoo and powder to see if it can help with her smell and sensitive skin. We use the powder for our itchy puppy 🐶

A lot of what you're seeing from the carpet is the dyes being pulled from the carpet. I'm so glad we bought several Ruggable rugs (multiple sizes from 9x12 to 3x5s) because we have pets and 6 kids too! We have washed them all sooo many times. Saved me more money in the long run tbh. We love those pouches for our games as well! Most of our games, plus puzzles are stored in them. I'm with you on decluttering all the time, but we have 9 people in our house (my adult son temporarily lives with us too) and sometimes I get really overwhelmed and I'll purge a ton. I have purged a lot of the kids toys - they do not play with them and they end up thrown all over the place. They have a few special things they enjoy instead (and we play a lot of board games, watch movies and they have computers/ipads).

My Pet Peed is a really good product. Spray and leave and let dry. I typically still ran carpet cleaner over it the next day. But it works so well. I've used mattress stains and linens, too.

I'm with Chris. My books are very important to me, and I've got bookshelves or stacks of books in ever room. I love seeing them around me.

Woo girl, I feel the same way. Clean n clean n clean. 😂 Thanks for the motivation n tips. Love you n your content.

Try Rocco and Roxie for your carpets and even your chair. I have both the spray bottle and the gallon container. I started with the spray bottle first to see how I liked it. It’s an awesome product for pet messes.

Great motivation

girl, do NOT FEEL BAD about encouraging your kids to declutter and decided what’s the most valuable and important things they have. As long as it’s not clothing, shoes and essentials, it’s so helpful to do this. i wish i had more of this done when i was younger. Your kids are learning to declutter by you helping them. it’s so important to their mental health even if it seems “cruel” now. It’s not cruel and they won’t be traumatized as long as you give them the autonomy to decide what they want to keep and what they want to get rid of. You can even make a deal out of donation. Kids genuinely like to share after a certain age and do good. Instead of “throwing away” “donating to a kid who may not have the opportunity to have as many cool toys as you” will help instill a do good attitude and help give toys a meaning when declutterring. i was much more likely to declutter when it came to donations. Kids have empathetic little hearts and declutterring to a good cause makes it easy. Don’t feel bad for helping your children declutter. even if they don’t know it now, clutter causes anxiety in children. It can also cause issues in the future with letting things go or not buying necessities out of anxiety of becoming a hoarder.

The baby trying to play and smack the vacuum!! 😂😂😂 I love it!

PET SMELLS; best I’ve found is Dr. Bronner’s PEPPERMINT castile soap. I don’t know what it is about that particular scent, but it even cuts right through cat urine. (I have a large male cat that has urinary issues) Plus it’s non-toxic! Win win!!

Do you use it (dulited) in a shampooer? How do you use it? I’m curious. I have a dog that is older and has trouble recently holding it throughout the night. (He gets diapered at night) but I’d rather try to get the smell out maybe he’s trying to remark? I’m not sure. I’ve used the zep pet carpet cleaner and it does the trick but it seems to come back if that makes sense.

Emma is so cute but growing so fast. Great video sweet lady ❤

I used to foster cats and they would stress and potty outside of the box. For me anything with oxi clean and also Oban cleaner. Usually found at Home Depot/Lowe’s

My cat peed in her carrier, and it ruined my car passenger seat. I tried all kinds of cleaners, and a steam cleaner. What worked the best was hydrogen peroxide! I haven't smelled the cat pee since I soaked the hydrogen peroxide into the upholstery and let it air dry. Highly recommend.

So, I have a really oily and stinky dog too. The vet told me it's yeast that makes those things happen. I found a great shampoo which they carry at Pet Smart and I think Walmart that's for dogs with yeast problems.

Thanks for sharing.🩷

Hello, I feel the same way ! I can't get rid of the clutter.

When dishes Got too much for me in the past I got rid of everything and everybody had one bowl one plate one cup one fork one knife one spoon one glass and a couple pots and pans and that took care of that problem

Hi Lynn. I enjoyed your video. I fell in love with your little ballerina dancing around! I am now ashamed of the state I put my shampooer away in 🤢 . Would you mind showing us how you take your shampooer apart and clean it?

I totally understand the dog smell, we have a bloodhound and it doesn’t matter how often you bathe her, the smell is there. We won’t even talk about the slobber 😂 I think your house looks great but I also get so overwhelmed.

What carpet cleaner do you use? Do you recommend it

Miss Joanna so much!!

I have a stinky Goldendoodle. I learned to ask the groomer to double wash and not to use conditioner or dog cologne on him. Hope that helps.

Beautiful little girl Emma!! ❤️❤️❤️

Lynn. I can not relax Ina cluttered mess. I have OCD. I have to have things a certain way and clean a certain way. I love watching your videos, and I have found myself doing things in your way. The Lynn White Way. Decluttering, yes . I cleaned, but I was not declutering. That is what I am doing now. Please give me any of your quick hacks for decluttering?

With your office carpet cleaning .... how much of that was dye? Hard to tell,but after that many times you would think the water would be clearer. Deep breaths!! ❤❤

❤❤❤❤

I love JoAnna and just looked her up to see if I had missed her this morning. I don’t know if you have a separate chamber for your soap on your cleaner. Mine does so I fill mine up with Tide. I will use nothing else. I have gotten almost everything off my carpets with that.

Eres una mujer muy trabajadora y me encantan tus vídeos la peque se está haciendo una niña grande ❤❤

For the pet stains try 20 volume peroxide.

Great video! i am also dealing with pet odor but if i find one that rids the smell i will gladly share! Do you have a PO box? i have extra storage bags like yours that you use for games and have some parger size bags i can gift you.

I needed a real house motivation today. I've decided to start one room at a time. My adhd usually has been bouncing all around. I'll just work from one room to the other. I also have my granddaughter today and hopefully we can work together. Lol she can be my coworker today

Your oldest son at home will be moving out sometime???? Lol

Hi Lynn get a chair cover for your nook chair ❤️

My daughter’s dog is going to be living with my daughter and her new husband in a few weeks. After that I’m going to clean the carpets and get all the dog hair out. That dog’s hair flies everywhere all the time. Drives me cra cra🤪

Thank you for being real. One thing that makes me crazy is when I click on a clean with me and the person on camera pans around to show us their clutter and its like one unfolded blanket and someone's sneakers out of place. That's not how real people live. What's the point of filming a cleaning motivation video in a house you just cleaned?

I am a nanny that works for a family that are incredibly neat. The mom will not leave anything out of place. And the little girl I take care of (7 yrs old) doesn’t either. When she plays with something she’ll put it away when she’s done. They still have cleaners come over every week. And they’re still great parents, work outside of the home, kids do many sports/activities and the mom still keeps up with the laundry. So yes some people seriously never have a mess in their home and still think that it needs to be cleaned. Everyone is different.

@reyesdenise24 I get it. I'm an emotional cleaner and have ocd. It's taken me years to get to the point that I don't clean things I literally just cleaned. That's why those videos are uncomfortable to watch. I like knowing that it's normal for a house to look lived in especially with young kids around. It settles something in me. Seeing pristine houses being re cleaned makes me feel the itch to clean till my hands are raw from chemicals.
