A TRAVELLER woman has shown off her nighttime reset routine and the secret ways she keeps her home looking brand new.
Adele Preece, from the UK, took to social media to show her extensive cleaning routine but people were left stunned by the extreme measures she took.
In the clip, the homemaker first got a bucket and filled it with hot water, bleach and fairy washing up liquid and said: “Nighttime reset clean for a gypsy.”
The 24-year-old also revealed that the kettle she used for cleaning was different to the one she makes drinks with.
“This kettle is actually the kettle that I use for my cleaning water,” Adele explained.
“I’ve got a different one to make coffees because I don’t want tap water in my coffee. I use only bottled.”
She first went in by spraying her hob with bleach and adding a glug of bleach to her air fryer tray to sit.
Adele also revealed that she refuses to have a bin in her chalet and prefers to use a bin bag as and when she needs it so she can throw it out immediately.
After cleaning her hob she then moved on to the oven itself which she dismantled every night to give it a thorough scrub.
She used a steam cleaner in hard to reach places as well as wiping it down with bleach.
“I’m going in with my favourite cleaning product, bleach,” she added. “And I just coat my oven with this because I just love it and I think it makes everything come up.”
She then filled up her bucket with fresh water and bleach before wiping down all of her condiments.
“You touch them while you’re eating, you’re getting grease on them, so you can’t just put them back in the cupboard,” the cleaning whizz explained.
Next, she moved on to her toaster, which she cleans out every time it’s used.
Adele added that she has two toasters – one for decoration and one to use.
“I have another toaster that I use just for making toast, cause I don’t wanna ruin my display toaster,” she explained.
Traditions in the gypsy/traveller communities
Nomadic lifestyle: Traditionally, many travellers maintain a nomadic lifestyle, living in caravans and moving frequently. This mobility is a core aspect of their identity, reflecting a deep connection to freedom and independence.
Strong family bonds: Family is central to traveller culture. Extended families often live and travel together, providing a strong support network. Marriages and social events are significant community affairs, reinforcing familial ties.
Distinct Language: Many travellers speak Shelta, also known as Cant or Gammon, a distinct language that mixes elements of Irish, English, and other languages. This language serves as a cultural marker and a means of private communication within the community.
Religious practices: The traveller community often follows Roman Catholicism, with religious festivals and milestones like baptisms, communions, and weddings being particularly significant. However, individual beliefs and practices can vary widely.
Unique celebrations: Events such as horse fairs and traditional weddings are major social gatherings for travellers. These occasions are marked by elaborate preparations, vibrant attire, and communal participation.
The air fryer and toaster was then put away in the cupboard before she got another clean bucket of water and wiped down her countertops and kitchen island.
In another clip, she revealed that she keeps them looking brand new using plastic sheets from Dunelm to cover them.
The PVC sheets can be cut to size in stores and prices start at £3.50.
Once that task was done, Adele finished her kitchen reset by using her floor bucket and cleaning the floor on her hands and knees.
Her kitchen was sparkling and looked like it had never been touched when she was done with her cleaning routine.
Public Reaction
The clip quickly went viral with over 536k views and 36k likes on her TikTok account @adele_preecex.
People were quick to comment and seemed divided by her lengthy routine.
Some were left stunned by the amount of bleach used and questioned how necessary it was while others were in awe of her clean home.
One person wrote: “Bleach leaves toxic chemical traces, never use it on items that food will be cooked or placed in.”
Another commented: “You do realise that boiling tap water filters the water and is the same as the pointless water bottles your buying because you just wanna be weird.”
“This is hilarious! Display toaster, two kettles, bottled water for tea (you do know boiled tap water is sterile), washing jars (if your hands are clean, there’s no need) and bleached oven,” penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “I don’t get the hate look at the beautiful condition of this lassies home. Everything looks completely brand new. Fair play gal.”
“I don’t really understand all the hateful comments. This lady has an impeccably clean house, we don’t all have the time to do this level of cleaning but no need to hate,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “The commitment to the nighttime reset unreal.”
