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

I bought this book last Summer. Everything made sense. I made copies of all the various checklists, & bought a special binder to put everything in. I do really well with checklists. They give me a sense of accomplishment when I "check" the item. Author organizes everything so well! At first, everything seemed overwhelming, but not as overwhelming as my dirty condo that I had let go since hospicing my parent before their deaths. I was shell-shocked & didn't know where to begin! I didn't incorporate ALL the checklists at once. I'm still working on it. But this book IS FANTASTIC! and gives ORDER to my cleaning chores AND therefore a big part of my life, since I'm 70 yrs. old & can't afford cleaning help at this time. Lastly, this book gets me into THE HABIT of cleaning by systematically SCHEDULING all the various tasks.LOVE THIS BOOK! THANKS BECKY RAPINCHUK!

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!

I checked this book out on a whim from my local library, just because I enjoy reading books about homekeeping (strange, I know). However, once I read it and started trying out the techniques the author describes, I had to buy this book so I could always have it at my fingertips! I have tried many cleaning routines over the years, and have burnt out on every single one of them. Usually they are unrealistic about the amount of time they actually take, or have so many small, detailed tasks involved that they become overwhelming very quickly. The Simply Clean routine is not like that at all. It is very realistic about what can actually be managed in daily life, and even builds in time for the inevitable weeks where time gets away from you (thank you, catch-all day!) But although it is very manageable and requires a low time investment, it still results in a fresh and clean home with very little stress! I am so in love with this book and routine, and will be recommending it to all my friends. Thanks to reading this book, I have also started following the author's blog and Instagram and love the additional tips and information that I'm finding there. If you struggle to find a routine that really works for you in your home, check out this book!

This book makes it so easy to stay on top of cleaning your house! It has tons of charts for you to use and lays out everything for you simply and even has a monthly calendar to do things such as wash your comforter, change your hvac filter, and deep cleaning items. It has daily tasks, weekly tasks, and monthly tasks. You can even buy printed checklists for the daily/weekly tasks on a large sticky note pad from her website.

Book was in excellent condition. Thx!

Dispatched quickly. Has been a great book. Using it all the time although you won't simply clean in just 10 minutes a day! 30minutes is more like it.

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.

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.
