Fans of The Great British Bake Off might recognize Nancy as the winner of the fifth series. Though her account shares several posts featuring her fancy baking — they are beautiful treats, after all — Nancy has some ingenious methods for cleaning around the house. For instance, she demonstrates removing a table scratch using a raw walnut. She’s also an incredibly charming lady; even if you aren’t particularly interested in cleaning, you can catch videos of situations like meeting birds while she takes the trash out.

 

 

Auri Katariina

There’s something satisfying about watching a cleaning video. Perhaps it’s the visual of seeing dirt and grime disappear, or maybe it’s the feeling of freshness that comes with a job well done. Whatever the reason, Auri Katariina’s cleaning videos will make you feel better. Auri looks at some filthy situations. Beds sitting atop piles of trash, fridges decorated with cobwebs, sinks filled to the brim with food-caked dishes — you’ll find them all here alongside an enthusiastic Auri trying to contain her excitement about cleaning everything up.

GO CLEAN CO

Sometimes a little tough love is just the motivation you need to get something done. Sarah McAllister runs the GoCleanCo account, which she started in 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted her cleaning business. Sarah’s posts are highly effective because they include easy-to-follow tasks while having a vague hint of a threat (in very charming ways). For instance, she asks followers how often they mop their floors, then promises to come to check if they’re lying. She’ll also drop supporting posts, like free gifts you can give during the holiday season. In an on-brand move, #1 on the list is offering to clean for the chef while they relax.
