I live in a council house and swear by my five-step routine – it makes cleaning so much easier and less overwhelming
A WOMAN has shared the five-step routine that gets her home tidy and clean in no time.
26-year-old Celene Francis, a single mother who lives in a two-bedroom council house in Rotherham, explained that thanks to her easy tips, cleaning will feel much easier and far less overwhelming.
Sharing her advice on social media, in a short clip, we saw the young woman cleaning and tidying her home.
So if you’ve been feeling as though your house is a mess and you don’t know where to start, you’ve come to the right place.
The cleaning enthusiast said: “Five easy tips to help you feel less overwhelmed with your housework.”
BEDDER BELIEVE IT
The first step to a tidy home, according to Celene, is to “make your bed.”

Celene expressed: “It sometimes feels like a pointless chore to do but if you make it as soon as you are up it will set you up for the rest of the day.”
WASH THIS
Once your bed has been made, Celene’s second piece of advice is to “do a load of laundry.”
We then saw the mother load up her overflowing laundry basket into her washing machine - a job that although many of us find dull, it’s one that’s got to be done.
WIPE IT UP
Following this, according to Celene, the next simple thing to do is to “wipe the kitchen sides and sink.”
To do this, Celene used a Zoflora multi-surface antibacterial spray, to cut through grease and grime in her kitchen.
SOFA SORT
If you go to bed at night and leave your sofa in a mess, Celene’s next tip is for you.
Next on the list, the cleaning fan then advised people to “tidy the living room”, which she did by plumping up her cushions and readjusting a blanket.
PLUG IT IN
To finish off Celene’s five-step cleaning routine, she advised: “Hoover up and…relax.”
We then saw Celene take her hoover as she gave her home a quick once over, before she could relax for the rest of the day.
