The method invented and perfected by Mrs. Marla Cilley was born at a time when the founder found herself tired of having a messy house and not perfectly clean.
Marla Cilley created a perfect method and, seeing that it worked, began to spread to other people. Over time, the method became a real business.

15-minute rule
In addition to falling into the trap of perfectionism, one must reserve only 15 minutes for each task.
This time frame should be timed and you may take less time than that, but never more.
The principle of the method is to do a little every day, without seeking perfection and through small actions.
No to marathons
When you start cleaning up the house and you put up the challenge of stopping only when everything is perfect, you create an exhaustive marathon.
In this way, cleaning the house becomes a tiring task and you suffer to accomplish it.
Establish a routine
There is a belief that an action performed for 21 days in a row becomes a habit.
The method requires that we divide the tasks to be performed in 3 moments of the day: morning, afternoon and night.
Fixed cleaning
At the three tasks of the day, fixed cleaning should be performed, always being repeated weekly.
Baby Steps
The method understands that the insertion of tasks in your daily life should be seen as baby steps until it becomes a habit.
Mission of the day
To avoid that after a month or season you find yourself with accumulated organizing tasks, the ideal is to perform some sporadic missions.
Self-care
The last and certainly no less important point is to love your own well-being.
The creator encourages you to always be presentable, even when cleaning up the house, wearing shoes, eating well and exercising and, especially, making time for yourself and the family.
For the most enthusiastic, experts recommend keeping a “control journal” for notes and lists of procedures, so that everything is always under control.
Once done, this cleaning method will become a habit, an effective storage and cleaning routine that will prevent stress and tiredness.
