A dedicated mother from the United Kingdom has garnered attention for her unique cleaning routine, rising at 2 a.m. to ensure her home is spotless before starting her workday. Known to her 24,000 followers on TikTok as @everydaywithmimz, she balances her responsibilities as a mother and an influencer while embarking on a new job that requires her to be in the office three days a week.
In a recent video, Mimz explained that her early morning cleaning sessions allow her to manage her household without feeling overwhelmed after work. “By the time my son wakes up and I start getting ready at five, it’s absolutely fine,” she said. This routine enables her to drop her son off at breakfast club before heading to work by 9 a.m.
Mimz prioritizes cleaning the kitchen and living room, which she identifies as the main focus areas in her home. Her cleaning regimen is comprehensive; she scrubs kitchen counters, deep cleans oven trays, washes clothes, wipes down cupboards, and tackles the sink and hob. Additionally, she prepares dinner in advance, allowing her to simply add water to her prepped soup when she returns home.
Raising Standards for Cleanliness Among Parents
Mimz is not alone in her quest for a tidy home. Another influencer, Cara, who is also a mother of five, has voiced her frustrations regarding the cleanliness standards among parents on social media. In a TikTok video, she criticized those who use their children as an excuse for maintaining a dirty home. “Stop using your children as an excuse to have a dirty home,” she stated emphatically.
While Cara acknowledges that homes can become messy with children, she draws the line at filth. She highlighted disturbing examples of extreme neglect, saying, “Yes, there is actually an account on here and I’ve seen it with my own eyes and it’s actually disgusting.” Although she did not specify which account she was referring to, her comments resonate with many parents who strive to keep their homes clean amid the chaos of family life.
Both Mimz and Cara represent a growing trend among parents who prioritize cleanliness while managing busy households. Their experiences reflect a broader conversation about the expectations and realities of parenting in today’s fast-paced world.
