Zone Cleaning in Fly Lady
The Fly Lady method divides your home into five zones—entryway and kitchen, living room, bedrooms, bathrooms, and office spaces—dedicating one week and just 15 minutes daily to each. This system eliminates overwhelm by focusing on small, manageable tasks that gradually bring order and calm to every corner of your home.
The secret to order without overwhelm — dividing your home into zones
The Fly Lady method is based on a simple yet revolutionary idea: your entire home is divided into five zones, and each week of the month is dedicated to just one of them. Instead of trying to clean everything at once, you focus on a specific area, spending only 15 minutes a day on it.
This approach frees you from feelings of guilt and mental chaos. There's no need to remember every corner of your home — simply follow the plan, and order will come naturally. The LadyFly app automatically tracks the current zone of the week and reminds you of tasks, so you can relax and just do.
Zone 1 — entryway and kitchen
The entryway and kitchen are the heart of your home, the place you return to after a long day and where each morning begins. When there's order here, your entire home seems to breathe easier.
You can accomplish a lot in a week: organize one kitchen drawer, wipe down cabinet doors, tidy up the shoe rack or the shelf by the entrance. These small steps create the feeling that your home welcomes you with love.
Zone 2 — living room
The living room is a space for family, relaxation, and connection. This is where small items tend to pile up: magazines, children's toys, remotes, throw blankets. By dedicating a week to this zone, you'll notice how pleasant it becomes to simply be in the room.
Dust the shelves and photo frames, sort through the stack of books, refresh the sofa cushions. LadyFly will suggest what to focus on to make your living room truly cozy.
Zone 3 — bedrooms
Your bedroom is your personal sanctuary, a place to restore your energy. But how often does it turn into a storage space for clothes or items that have no other home? A week dedicated to this zone will return your bedroom to its true purpose.
Organize one closet or shelf, change the bedding, tidy up your nightstand. When your bedroom is in order, sleep becomes deeper and mornings become gentler.
Zone 4 — bathrooms
The bathroom requires regular attention, but there's absolutely no need to do a deep clean every week. Fifteen minutes of daily touches is enough: wipe the mirror, organize cosmetics, refresh the towels, tidy up under the sink.
Gradually, this zone will become sparkling and pleasant, and you'll stop putting off cleaning "for later."
Zone 5 — office and utility spaces
Your desk, pantry, balcony, hallway — everything that didn't fit into the previous zones deserves its own week. This is often where things accumulate that we put off to "deal with someday."
Dedicate time to this zone, and you'll feel a real sense of lightness. When every item finds its place, your home stops weighing you down — it starts supporting you. The LadyFly app will help you stay motivated and see how, week by week, your home becomes a place of strength and calm.
