EPISODE SUMMARY

In this inspiring episode of the Rooted Podcast, we sit down with Becky, better known as Clean Mama, the creator of cleanmama.com and author of multiple books that help families create order, peace, and joy in their homes. Becky shares how a simple cleaning routine she developed back in 2000 grew into a thriving community, product line, and movement that helps thousands of families. From her days as an art teacher managing the chaos of 600 kids a week, to launching a blog during the 2008 financial crisis, to writing books and creating non-toxic cleaning products—her story is both practical and faith-filled. We talk about her 15-minute cleaning method, her five daily habits that keep chaos at bay, the importance of using safe, non-toxic products, and how her faith has shaped her work and family life. Whether you’re a busy parent, college student, or someone overwhelmed by clutter, this conversation will leave you with both encouragement and practical tools you can use right away.
