Time-lapse cleaning binge…

We’ve got about 30 people coming over for Thanksgiving and you know what that means…it’s time to clean. I decided to challenge myself to see how much I could get done in one hour while Allison was at work. Come on you married guys…we’ve got to try to out-serve our wives. Have fun peeps.


1 Hour Clean Spree from Ryan Detzel on Vimeo.

The song is called “Clean up” and it’s from Ralph’s World.

    I think the most impressive thing is the whole zone cleaning – I clean all over the house at one time, but you managed to stay in one general area for quite a while! Excellent.

    Wouldn’t it be cool if we could move that fast when we wanted to? How much would you pay to have super speed for one hour a day?

    This really shows that you can get more done with even a little bit of time than you think.
    Seriously though, who sings that song? I tried finding it through Google with no success!

    Way to go! You have inspired me to get up and clean – or “clean up – clean up my mess!”

    BTW, I can hear my oldest son humming this tune while I type! Very catchy!

    I’m impressed you actually moved things to sweep and mop! My hubby goes around things if he ever does those things… drives me loony.

    Okay, I am being transparent here, I know-but this is just too good not to share. In our house, we call this, ahwm-foreplay :) .
    After 17 years of bliss-filled marriage, the best advice my hubby gives on keeping the home fires burning is to “Grab a broom, man!” LOL. You are an awesome husband and daddy, Ryan-way to serve :) . Loved the thankful blog, BTW.

    I hate you in a very loving way. I can’t believe you cleaned up like that. Can I send my other half to live with you for like … a week? Just show him the basics – you know, like where the dish washer is. How to hold a broom.
