Clean Less, Play More: How to Keep Your House Clean Without Spending All Day Cleaning
You can have a clean, company-ready home without making cleaning your full-time job.
In this episode of the Slow Living Podcast, Stephanie O'Dea shares a simpler approach to household chores—one that leaves more time for the things you actually want to do.
This episode comes directly from reader questions. Many listeners loved the simple chores and daily To-Do list from Stephanie's books Totally Together and Clean Less, Play More, but wanted to make things even easier.
Stephanie gets it. She likes things clean, but she does not like cleaning.
Listen in as she talks about which household chores are truly necessary, which ones can be skipped or simplified, and how she keeps her home pretty much ready for company in less than 30 minutes.
The goal isn't a perfectly maintained home. It's creating a realistic system that gets the necessary chores done quickly and efficiently—so you can clean less and play more.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- How to simplify your daily household chores
- Which chores are necessary and which ones you can let go
- How to keep your home reasonably company-ready without constant cleaning
- Why you don't need to spend hours maintaining a clean house
- How doing less around the house can create more time for the things you actually enjoy
You don't have to love cleaning to have a clean house.
