7 Cleaning Secrets My Mom Passed Down to Me

If there's one lesson my mom took away from her stint as a chef, it's the clean-as-you-go policy. While I'm cooking, I make sure to wash any dishes lying around while my food sautés, or wipe down the counters as my banana bread bakes. I've taken this lesson outside of the kitchen and applied it to my morning routine, tidying up my beauty products as I put on my makeup, or putting away clothes as I pick out my outfit for the day.
