In a striking example of dedication to domestic life, a busy mother, known as Mimz, has shared her unconventional cleaning routine on social media. She rises at 2 AM to deep clean her home before heading to work, ensuring her household is spotless for her family. Mimz, who operates the TikTok account @everydaywithmimz, recently explained to her 24,000 followers that her new job requires her to be in the office three days a week, prompting her to adopt this early morning schedule.
Mimz begins her day five hours before she needs to leave for work at 7:30 AM. During this time, she not only cleans but also incorporates a skincare routine, including a light therapy mask. She acknowledges that while her method may seem unusual, it allows her to manage household chores without feeling overwhelmed. “It does feel crazy doing this in the middle of the night, but by the time my son wakes up and I start getting ready at five, it’s absolutely fine,” she stated.
To prepare for her day, Mimz drops her son off at breakfast club before starting her workday. Her cleaning routine prioritizes the kitchen and living room over the bedrooms, focusing on deep cleaning tasks. She scrubs counters, cleans oven trays, washes clothes, and wipes down surfaces. Additionally, she prepares meals in advance, allowing her to return home and quickly finish dinner preparations.
The importance of maintaining a tidy home despite a busy lifestyle has resonated with other parents as well. Another TikTok user, known as Cara, voiced her frustration with parents who use their children as an excuse for neglecting cleanliness. In a recent TikTok video, she criticized those who post images of unkempt homes, saying, “Stop using your children as an excuse to have a dirty home. I mean, messy, yes, but dirty is just unacceptable.”
Cara, a mother of five, is well aware that homes can become messy with children. However, she expressed her discontent with extreme cases of neglect, noting that some households appear to be living in unsanitary conditions. “Obviously, it gets messy because children are messy, but having animal poo smeared across your walls, bathroom that hasn’t been cleaned in about five months, mouldy food on the kitchen side,” she remarked.
While both Mimz and Cara have adopted different approaches to household management, their shared commitment to cleanliness highlights a growing conversation among parents on social media platforms like TikTok. As the trend of parenting influencers expands, discussions around maintaining a clean home while managing family responsibilities continue to spark debate and reflection among followers.
