Hi everyone. I'm Ronnie and I'm Jessica and you're listening to Clean with me the podcast where we walk you through cleaning your house.

decluttering principles, but I understand there are some things you might want to do first. You might

want to freshen up, take your trash out, or like I said, you know, put some dishes in the sink,
