2020 EXTREME CLEAN WITH ME | ULTIMATE CLEANING MOTIVATION! | Amy Darley
[Music]
hey y’all and welcome to my channel my
name is Amy Darlie and today’s video is
a 2020 Xtreme clean with me now in this
video I’m sharing three days of cleaning
and it’s gonna be a realistic week of
cleaning what it really looks like what
I’m trying to get a bunch of stuff done
and not just what you see on my youtube
channel or on my Instagram feed and my
goal for when you get done watching this
one I hope you have some extreme
cleaning motivation from this video but
I also hope that it makes you feel good
about the things that you are getting
done and not bad about the things that
you didn’t get done I hope that makes
sense and I’ll talk more about this in a
little bit another thing that I’m gonna
be sharing in this video are my cleaning
checklist that I created I did a monthly
a daily and a weekly cleaning checklist
these are gonna be available for you
guys to download and I’ll talk more
about that a little bit later I’m also
gonna be testing out some new cleaning
products so stick around and hopefully
you guys enjoy this video if you do be
sure to give it a thumbs up if you’re
new subscribe and let’s get this
cleaning motivation underway
[Music]
so on this day I’m cleaning up our
normal everyday mess and then also going
to be doing a little bit of deep
cleaning here in the kitchen now this is
just a normal mess but don’t worry my
house can get trashed
especially over the weekend I started
cleaning this was on a Tuesday so it
wasn’t too too bad because it’s not as
bad during the week but on the weekends
I promise you my house gets super messy
now in this video I wanted to talk about
something a little bit more important
than our everyday cleaning and the
normal stuff that I share on my channel
I have been doing a daily devotional
through the YouVersion Bible app I
shared it over on Instagram and a lot of
you actually joined me in that Bible
study well I call it a Bible study but
it’s like more like a reading plan and
super short we were doing it every
single morning
it does cap it off at 150 people that
could participate at a time but if y’all
want to join me then make sure that
you’re either following me on Instagram
or make sure that you’re checking out
the community tab here on YouTube and
I’ll start sharing the link as soon as I
pick a plane that I’m gonna do and if
you want to do it with me then all you
have to do is go through that link and
make sure you have the YouVersion Bible
app on your phone and you can do it with
me now the plan that we’re doing this
week is called a comparison trap and
this has been so so good for so many of
us that are doing this plan and we are
actually in the plan responding to what
we’re reading every day and it’s so nice
to hear that so many other women
struggle with this same thing about
comparing yourselves to other women or
just other people in general and you’re
preparing what they have that you don’t
what they’re good at that you’re not how
much you weigh compared to them what
your house looks like how clean you are
all these different things and it’s just
so nice that we are able to go over this
and remember that God has blessed us
with so many things and maybe we have
different gifts that we’re blessed with
than others but the comparison trap will
steal your joy now the reason that I’m
sharing this today with you is because I
am a youtuber and I’m considered a quote
unquote and influencer
and I know that a lot of people look at
my youtube videos or look at my
Instagram feed and you’ll see my
highlight reel and you see what I’m
getting done but I am NOT talking about
what I’m not getting done so I am not
perfect I am far far from it and I made
tons of mistakes there are lots of
things I’m just not good at at all but I
am sharing with you guys what works for
me and what I’m getting accomplished but
like I said you don’t get to see all the
other things that I don’t get
accomplished and have mom guilt about or
get down on myself about so I did want
to let y’all know that when I started
filming this video I had planned on
doing a whole house clean with me I
planned on getting my entire house
cleaned this week and checking off all
the things on my checklist that I would
be sharing with you guys in a little bit
but you’re gonna see I had a total fail
on that and I know it’s just cleaning
but I have come to learn that if I don’t
get something done it is okay especially
when it comes to cleaning because
cleaning is always going to be there you
can always finish it the next day so I
just wanted this to be a little reminder
to stop comparing yourself to other
peoples highlight reels and start
counting your blessings and being
grateful for what you have been blessed
with
I told you guys I’m going to be trying
out some new products today and these
are the jaws products you may have seen
other people sharing them but this jaws
stands for just add water system and
they actually sponsored today’s video
and I am so so grateful that I finally
gave these products a chance now these
products are Street free non-toxic and
eco-friendly products that you can use
around your house on lots of different
surfaces but jaws spray bottles are
designed to be refilled and reused so
that way we can cut down the amount of
single-use plastic bottles that are
being discarded every day so in my box I
got all the spray bottles the refill
pods and color-coded cleaning cloths as
well as this little cheat sheet card
that tells you what all the cleaners can
be used on now all you have to do is
start using your product as you’re going
to fill your reusable bottle with tap
water all the way to the fill line which
makes it super easy because it’s right
there on your bottle and then you’re
going to insert your new jaws refill pod
and twist the sprayer back on and then
you’re ready to start cleaning now once
you have used all of your cleaner it’s
completely out then you’re going to just
rinse out the bottle put in new water
your new pod and get to cleaning again
so I love this because when the colors
are so prettyy aren’t they and then –
you don’t have to worry about measuring
out any like concentrate or anything
like that and making a big mess and
spilling it everywhere so the five
products that you’re going to see me use
in this video that are the non-toxic
eco-friendly cleaners are the kitchen
hardwood glass cleaner of the daily
shower and the granite cleaner in Polish
now like I said all five of those are
non-toxic
and they’re safe to use around kids and
pets now you’re also gonna see me use
the disinfectant cleaner on some of the
places in our house because Gracie Jun
has been sick so I want to make sure
some of that gets disinfected as well as
the bathroom and as you can see here
these products take up a lot less space
than your normal cleaners so that’s a
plus as well and when you run out of the
refill pods all you have to do is get
online and order them you can also do a
subscription service they offer three
month six-month subscription services as
well so if you are interested in trying
out the jaws cleaners then be sure to
use my
that I have down in the description box
below and I also have a coupon code for
you that gets you 25% off your first
order
now the first cleaner that I’m using
here in the kitchen is the kitchen
cleaner and it is safe on granite
countertops and you guys know that I am
so careful about what I use on my
countertops I usually only use a granite
countertop cleaner which jaws does have
a granite countertop cleaner but since I
was cleaning the entire kitchen and I
wanted to go pretty fast I decided since
this was safe on the granite then I was
just going to use this kitchen cleaner
on all the surfaces in here and let me
tell you guys I was so impressed by how
Street free everything turned out and
you guys are gonna get to see on the
appliances some close-ups and get to see
for yourselves now one thing that always
is a hit or miss for me is whether the
cleaning products smell good or not and
I will say that these cleaning products
they don’t have a very strong smell they
smell fresh they smell clean but they’re
not overpowering so a lot of you will
probably love that because I hear a lot
in the comments that smells bother you
so definitely check these out if you are
sensitive to products that have a strong
smell want to be the person that you
call up when you’re done
wanna be the first one knows a lot of
deeper secrets can I be the one who ate
you up before you missed it all right
because I wanna be close to you
and I wanna show you something new you
gotta know every day I got your back
here you can count on me for that so
offended
[Music]
when you sit
[Music]
okay please tell me that you can see a
big difference from this camera angle
and from the before-and-after you’re
gonna see it on the refrigerator too
this is the before of the fridge and
then you’re gonna see the after in just
a minute so I just couldn’t believe how
great these work I’m telling you it
works better than the previous cleaners
that I was using on my stainless steel
and I just can’t believe it because I
was so in love with those
[Music]
gotta try to keep the pace but someday
we will find that the world has change
but we stay true to each other I will
always be there for you whenever you
need my help taking my time to be your
don’t wanna be
every day I’ve got your packet you can
count on me for the
so put your fan
[Music]
when you see
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
I’m gonna show you something
you gotta know every day I got your bag
and you can come

now it is Wednesday and I didn’t get any
extra cleaning done besides the regular
daily chores like making my bed and
cleaning up after myself tidying up all
that kind of stuff but I did want to
share with you these meals because so
many of you asked for them when I shared
my meal plan for the whole month of
January so what I’m doing tonight is
chicken broccoli and rice casserole
that’s going to go in the freezer for a
couple weeks from now and then I’m also
going to be making Tuscan chicken pasta
so since both of these recipes involve
chicken I just put some salt and pepper
on them and threw them in the oven on
350 for about 25 minutes and then I’m
going to start on my chicken broccoli
and rice casserole I will cook my rice
first and then I’m gonna take all of
these ingredients that you see here plus
my chicken I’ll put them into this bowl
together mix them all up dump them into
my pans put a little bit more cheese on
top and then pop it in the freezer and
it’s ready for a few weeks from now I do
write all of the directions out on my
tin so that way I know exactly what to
do when I pull it out I know what it is
I don’t have to go back and look at the
directions on my phone or anything like
that it’s already written on there for
me and also this is great for if you are
taking a meal to someone it just gives
them the directions on how to heat
everything back up and it makes it easy
for them to follow now if you really
wanted to get ahead of the game then you
could double this recipe and make two
freezer casseroles for yourself or if
you wanted to make one for yourself and
one for a friend it would be so nice
especially to a new mom or someone who
have had a loss in the family recently
anybody that you would want to take a
dish to this would be perfect for that
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
the nice recipe we were actually eating
this night so instead of making it a
freezer meal like I’d planned on doing I
went ahead and just cooked it the night
up and it’s the Tuscan chicken pasta and
I found this recipe on Pinterest it is a
one pot meal you can cook it on the
stove and serve it right away
or you can actually follow the other
recipe that I pinned for Tuscan chicken
pasta and actually freeze it and put it
in your freezer and have yourself a
prepped meal ready to go for a weeknight
that you just don’t have time to cook
[Music]
now y’all let me know if the wooden
spoon trick works for you I just put a
wooden spoon on top of my pot and the
water never boils over it always works
every single time for me but I know a
lot of people say it doesn’t work for
them and this little gadget actually got
off of Amazon and I just stick it right
on to my pot to drain whatever pasta or
anything that I’ve cooked and then throw
it in the dishwasher now like I said
both of these recipes were from my
January meal plan that I shared and a
few videos ago I’ll have all the stuff
where I shared all that linked in my
description box so that way if you want
to copy my meal plan or maybe get some
inspiration for my meal plan you can do
that and I will be sharing my February
meal plan the last week in January so be
on the lookout for that in one of those
videos also please let me know if you
find this kind of stuff helpful because
I’m trying to make content that’s gonna
make your life easier by just having me
do it and then you can get inspiration
from it or completely copy it if you
want to but let me know if it makes it
easier on you and you like seeing this
kind of stuff because I do plan on
sharing these meal plans every single
month just because I’m already doing it
anyways and I want to do whatever I can
in order to help make your life easier
[Music]
[Applause]

[Music]
so here on my dresser I have thrown a
bunch of stuff that I have recently
purchased a lot of them were athletic
wear and I just needed some new pants
mine were getting holes or starting to
have fuzzy things that I couldn’t get
off so I went and bought some stuff off
of Amazon t.j.maxx and also Walmart’s
this shirt that I have on now I got cold
so the shirt I have on now is actually
from Walmart and this is a new little
keychain that I got off of fruit deals I
got cut a couple of them in case I
wanted to give some as gifts to people
but I thought that they were really cute
and they were only like six or seven
dollars but originally and I planned on
sharing with you guys all my new
athletic clothes that I got but this
video just it did not make it in this
one so let me know if you want to see
that and I can share it in next week’s
video but I did save all the stuff that
I purchased off of Amazon in my Amazon
favorites I saw the city passing by my
window was in the crowd but I felt so
low look at my phone like every other
second my future was blurry and down a
tunnel where there’s no oh
[Music]
likes to be ride
[Music]
just the way
[Music]
you make him
we jumped off this up we need you want
hands rubbed off the cold around me I
heard you say that everything is alright
but how did you know how I felt you saw
right to me that day I was
[Music]
I can’t see the sky close to me I can’t
[Music]
what’d you buy
so another thing that should make you
feel better is that load of laundry has
been sitting in that corner for probably
two weeks now and I’m finally gonna get
to it actually I don’t think I got to it
on this night but the last day of
cleaning I did finally get to it and
look at this bathroom floor you cannot
see it from the video a lot of times but
there is always hair on my bathroom
floor whether it’s dog hair or my hair I
had actually blow-dried my hair so this
is what it looks like after I blow-dry
my hair and so I just wanted to give you
guys a little close-up so you knew
exactly what I was cleaning if you can’t
really see it on camera here how you got
me off the battleground
[Music]
[Music]
you make him
now here in the bathroom you’re gonna
see me use the disinfectant cleaner
inside of the sinks and on the toilet
and then on the mirrors I’m using the
glass cleaner which turned out to be
amazing probably one of my favorite
products the kitchen cleaner is amazing
too and then on top of the granite
countertops I’m using the granite
cleaner and then I’m gonna use the
shower cleaner inside our bathtub
[Music]
watch out the small world is closing in
no doubt you’ve been in some nasty pain
but I’ll shout until you really hear
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
tough times they tend to make you lose
your mind right signs and so I can be
hard to find but we’ll fight it off
until it’s out of sight is really great
up there
[Music]
before we get to day three of cleaning I
wanted to share with you guys the
cleaning checklist that I created and if
you’re interested in these then you can
always download them using my link in
the description box and print them off
for yourself and hopefully it’ll be
helpful for you but you could either put
them in a page protector like this or if
you’re like me and you want to laminate
them I laminated mine and I plan on
checking them off with a white board
marker each week so that I can keep up
with all of my cleaning now I’ve talked
about it in the past that I wanted to
create a better cleaning schedule or
routine for myself and as much as I have
tried I have not been able to keep up
with a routine for the weekly and
monthly cleaning but I’m pretty good
about daily cleaning and staying on top
of those daily tests like making my bed
unloading and loading the dishwasher or
those kind of things but when it comes
to the rest of the routine cleaning I am
horrible about it I have always tried to
do like I’m gonna clean these things on
this day or I’m gonna clean that on that
day and that just has never worked for
me because I feel like any time that I
try to do that and try to implement that
then things come up in the week I don’t
get to it and then I feel bad about it
and I get down on myself and just feel
like a failure so what I decided to do
is create this checklist and that way
whenever I’m cleaning I’ll just go
through my checklist check off the
things that I get done and then when the
whole checklist has been completed I can
erase it and start over so that way
which you’ll see in just a little bit
when I don’t complete everything in a
whole week I can give myself some grace
and just pick up where I left off and
then once it’s all complete erase and
start over
so Gracie June was sick at the beginning
of the week and I was going to try to do
this weekly checklist but instead of
doing it the right way I ended up
cleaning the entire downstairs which is
where she was the majority of the time
obviously not here in the office but
while I was down here that’s what I did
and didn’t do my checklist right but in
next week’s video I’m gonna be using my
weekly cleaning checklist to do it the
right way so that way I can show you how
I was expecting to use it and I’ll show
you how it’s gonna be a little bit
easier to keep up with what you’re
supposed to be cleaning and all of that
especially for all you busy moms college
students women anybody that’s watching
you’re all busy right we are all busy
and so if you have had trouble creating
a schedule a cleaning schedule or
routine that works for you when it comes
to those monthly and weekly cleaning
tasks then hopefully this will make your
life easier and help you keep up with
your cleaning now at the end of this
video I am gonna show you my weekly
cleaning checklist and me checking some
things off but it is the wrong way I did
not do it the right way this week I
don’t know what I was thinking but next
week I will do it the right way I
promise
[Music]
I just wanna build you I just wanna look
into your eyes and tell you that I want
you you know you make me feel so alive
can’t stop
day and night
when you kiss me love it when we touch
every time I’m down there you make me
smile the other solution
[Music]
never gonna meet someone like you you
know you are the reason reason why I
feel like I can fly magic day and night
I love it when you kiss me love it when
we touch and every time now know you
make me smile you’re the solution
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
now I’m gonna check off on my weekly
cleaning checklist the things that I got
done this week I did get the entire
kitchen done I only got my bedroom done
and I only got my bathroom done and then
I did get the whole house all the floors
done but I did not get the kids bathroom
or the other downstairs bathroom done or
the kids room or the playroom so I’ll
probably be cleaning a little bit this
weekend at least the bathrooms I feel
like I can wait on the bedroom till next
week but I want you all to know I don’t
always get it all done so hopefully this
was inspiring and makes you feel better
about when you don’t get it all done
either and hopefully this checklist will
work that our next week too when I use
it the right way so I hope you guys
loved this video and that gave you so
much motivation and let me know what you
were doing while watching in the
comments I love hearing from you getting
to chat with you guys if you’re new
don’t forget to subscribe before you
leave and I’ll see you guys in the next
video bye
