I’m a gypsy and spend my entire week cleaning my home – but people ask when I have time to play with my kids
A GYPSY has revealed how she blitzes her entire home every day and still has time for her mum duties.
Annalise Smith leaves no surface unwiped: from walls and ceilings, to skirting boards and under beds.
The mum-of-three hoovers any cloth surfaces, such as curtains and sofas, and gives her kitchen a top-to-bottom “bleach down”.
She shared a tutorial on TikTok which has totted up nearly 300,000 views, in which she shared that “cleaning lingers on the whole day”.
Gypsy cleaning videos have over 24 million views across the video platform, as women from the travelling community have shared their tips and tricks for a sparkling home.
That includes Annalise, who is married with three daughters but always makes time for her home.

She showcased how she blitzes each room in her house on a daily basis, revealing that on Monday’s she gives her bathroom “a really good scrub out”.
That means she can “keep on top of it” with a quick bleach and wipe down every day.
She cleans the bedrooms in her home “from top to bottom”, starting by wiping the ceilings, then hoovering the curtains, before blitzing the mattresses and cleaning under the beds.
Annalise also blitzes her kitchen but joked that she “dreads cleaning up after dinner because lately it feels like she’s never out of the kitchen”.
The viral video sparked an influx of questions, including one viewer questioning how she finds time to sleep and play with her daughters.
“I stop throughout the day to spend time with my family, sort appointments and do school run,” Annalise explained. “And obviously see to the kids.
“I don’t really sit around during the day just to rest.
“I’ll always be doing something even if it’s playing with the kids.
“I don’t see that as time to rest for myself, but after I’ve done everything after dinner, like washed the girls, we’ll lay down and watch something.
“So I get that as time for me or go for a sunbed or lashes in the day.
“I always stop cleaning at a certain time to have time with the girls before I get them to sleep.”
She added that she “does everything in bits” to ensure she fits all of her responsibilities in the day.
“It can be tiring but I have three kids, so it’s gonna be,” Annalise continued in the comments of her viral video.
