    📖 Everything my mother taught me at the sink, the whole house in order, day by day, in one book: <a href="https://berthacleans.com/">https://berthacleans.com</a><br><br>What is one thing nobody ever taught you about keeping a house, mija? 🧽

    An older friend of mine taught me to start SMALL. For example, when organizing, clean one small section of something instead of trying to do the whole thing - like kitchen cabinets or counter top.<br>Berta, thank you so much for your channels. I only found you a couple of week ago. I’m so grateful for the knowledge that you share with us! <br>I LOVE how you reassure us that we are not to blame or be shameful, but you’re giving us the tools to be able to manage all the things that you know. I’m glad for your mother and for teaching you, and I’m glad that you decided to share your knowledge with the world.<br>I am seeing some things that my grandma did and that my mother does - but I was never TAUGHT. I never knew that there was a method and purpose.<br>I am going to try and implement and incorporate your wisdom into my family’s life. ¡Muchísimas gracias!

    I would love for all people to have this instruction in school (all genders). It used to be home economics. Living in a clean, orderly home is so good for everyone’s mental health as well. Thank you! 💓

    I want to share this with so many of my friends and family but I didn/t see a share button. &nbsp;I have been watching so many of your videos and they are wonderful/ &nbsp;I am learning so much from the housekeeping &nbsp;and the bible talk. &nbsp;I set up a prayer area with an open Bible and candles and as a surprise to my grown son who is staying with me I put my hand on his head &nbsp;to bless him as he went out the door.

    The Scriptures say in Zachariah <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccLmfneJ9N0&amp;t=250">4:10</a> to not despise the day of small beginnings. Thank you, Bertha, for this wisdom. I am one of those people with too many cleaning products.

    I don’t make &nbsp;the bed first thing. I pull the blankets and sheets back to air. After I’ve eaten and dressed I make it. Your body releases moisture and &nbsp;your bed absorbs it.

    I&apos;ve been watching your videos for a month or two. I love your straightforward and insightful advice. I was especially happy last night after seeing 10 Tiny Things, and now I&apos;m following it up with this one! Thanks so much Bertha! I&apos;m slowly adding the things --and as of today I&apos;ll be looking more closely at the steps in choosing order. I&apos;ve always been more on the line of how you described your old self on 10 Tiny Things. I appreciate you comparing the improvement to a gift when your mother had to move in. &nbsp;And yes, there are factors for why I struggle with this. But I will see how far I can take things. Thanks for giving me hope again.

    Just found you today in Canada! I love your simple cleaning advice! My own mother hated cleaning so I have had to learn everything on my own. I am going to buy your book and share it with my daughter. <br>I have stubborn mold in my main bathroom that I kept hitting with bleach, just watched your video on killing the plant at the root, now using vinegar to do that.<br>Thanks for sharing this timeless love and knowledge!

    I’m really enjoying your insight and wisdom. I was NEVER taught how to clean a house, not by my mother, grandmother or even aunties. No of them kept or keeps a clean house. I’m thankful to have found your channel.

    Thank you, mija. ❤
