Why Dorothy's House Was Never Messy (The Forgotten Cleaning Code)

Her name was Dorothy. She kept a two-bedroom house in Akron, Ohio spotless. Five people lived in it. She spent twenty minutes a day cleaning. Her daughter timed her once, standing in the hallway with a watch. Twenty-two minutes. The house was ready for anyone, at any hour, without warning. Under her kitchen sink sat five things. Baking soda. White vinegar. One lemon. A bar of castile soap. A stack of cotton rags. That was the entire cleaning program her house ever needed. This video is about the 10 cleaning habits Dorothy kept her entire life. None of them require a specialty product. None of them have a subscription box. And every single one disappeared — not because they stopped working, but because there was no money in them staying.
