I started using the Flylady cleaning system over 24 years ago, when I was stuck at home with two small children with chickenpox and heavily pregnant herself with my third child. I was on maternity leave at the time from my job as a doctor. The Flylady's no nonsense approach to cleaning and laundry transformed my home in manageable easy to follow babysteps, and she has been implementing the flylady system in her home ever since. I literally felt like Flylady was my cheerleader.

For the last six years, the thought of launching my own YouTube cleaning channel has been quietly simmering in my mind. I have often imagined sharing my cleaning insights, organising strategies, and the serenity that a tidy home brings, but every time I considered making it a reality, self-doubt would surface. I questioned whether anyone would watch, if my ideas would connect with others, and whether I could handle being in front of the camera. The fear of failure and the uncertainty of stepping into the spotlight held me back from chasing this dream. It wasn’t until July 2024 that I decided to confront those doubts, take a leap of faith, and channel my passion into Clean with Kate. Now, I’m so glad I did.

Now I continue to incorporates lots of different cleaning and organising systems into my cleaning routines including the FlyLady cleaning system, Marie Kondo for decluttering and tidying as well as Dana K White's container concept into her daily routines to create a structured and stress-free approach to home care. I love the principles of breaking tasks into manageable zones and establishing daily habits and routines, ensuring that cleaning doesn’t feel overwhelming and runs almost on autopilot. By dedicating a short amount of time each day to specific tasks, this helps maintain a tidy home without the pressure of marathon cleaning sessions. This method allows me to focus on one area at a time, making the process more efficient and less daunting.
