Hi everyone, Ronnie here. You're listening to Clean with me, the podcast where I talk you through,

cleaning your house. Thanks for joining me. This is episode 68. In case you're new to this podcast, my goal with the show is for you to be

able to press play, clean along with the episode, and just know that by the end of the hour,

your whole house is going to be in a lot better shape. So the first thing I'm going to suggest that you do today is either start a load of

laundry or straighten up the front entrance area of your home. Now, maybe you do one load of

laundry per day or maybe you have a real cluttered front entrance area so you decide what needs to be done

or maybe you can do both. It's only going to take you a minute or two to start a load in the

washing machine. So maybe you can also kind of just pick up that immediate entrance area of your home.

So I would work four hours in the morning.

And then when I got home, I was, of course, already dressed and fixed up, shoes on and everything.

I'd eat lunch and then do some housework.

And I felt like I kept my house cleaner than when I'd been at home

before that. So I guess what I'm saying is there's something to be said for getting ready

early in the day. So I try to get up, have a cup of coffee, and freshen up and dress

for the day. I don't go around in my pajamas, unless I'm sick or something. And if you do that,

that's fine. Maybe you're good at cleaning in your pajamas. No judgment here. But it's just a

suggestion. My grandmother used to always say if you look good you feel
