Hi everyone, Ronnie here. You're listening to Clean with me, the podcast about cleaning to listen to

while you clean. I hope everyone's having a great day today. If you happen to be new to my podcast, what I do in most

episodes is talk you through cleaning your entire house. There's no pressure or unrealistic

expectations. We just spend a little bit of time in each area and try to get the house presentable within an hour.

If you've got a big mess and you need more time, maybe listen to another episode after this.

But I encourage you to try to be working in the area that I'm talking about,

not necessarily doing exactly what I'm saying,

because I can talk faster than you can clean, but just kind of working in that area while I talk

about that area. And the first thing you're going to want to do is gear up for the cleaning session.

Maybe you need to freshen up or maybe you're

already feeling presentable. Wear something comfortable yet presentable. Some people like to clean

barefoot. Some people like to have shoes on. Do whatever works for you. Another way that you might

want to gear up for a cleaning session is to light a scented

candle or if it's a nice day maybe air out your house. If it's a day that I feel like I don't have

to have the air conditioner or the heater on, I love that because I like to open a window

and turn on my ceiling fans and just let some

fresh air come through.

Speaking of how your house smells, maybe you need to take out the trash.

Another thing that I often do to kind of kick off a cleaning session is straighten the entrance area slash front room

of my home. I can feel a little bit stressed if the first impression area that you see right

when you walk in is cluttered. I'm not talking about detailing your living areas because we get to that later on

in the episode, but I'm kind of talking about the level of straightening up that you might do,
