This Great Depression Cleaning System Is Genius

Great Depression women ran spotless, functional homes without a single modern cleaning product... and historians note they were less overwhelmed than many people are today. Here's what their rules actually were, and why I think they still hold up.In this video I'm breaking down the Depression-era cleaning system: the structured weekly schedule that eliminated decision fatigue, the 3-ingredient kit that replaced an entire cabinet, and the "use it up, wear it out" philosophy that turned every scrap into a resource instead of a burden.What I find fascinating isn't the frugality... it's the systems! They were designed to contain chaos, not react to it. And that's something our homes are still missing.
