A traveller wife has given a glimpse inside her pristine home revealing how long she spends cleaning every day.
Ruby Barney Britton, from Oxford, Oxfordshire, shared a behind-the-scenes look at her daily life as a stay-at-home wife in a TikTok on her page @rubybarneybritton as she deep-cleaned her trailer.
Her cleaning marathon began with the oven, which she said took ‘all day’, Rube moved on to the fridge.
Next, she tackled the food cupboards, side drawers, shoe storage, and even her supplies closet.
In the clip, which racked up over 488,000 views, she said: ‘Come spend the day in the life with me as a stay-at-home a Gypsy wife.
‘So I woke up in the morning and I made the bed, I skipped breakfast, didn’t even have a wash yet and just got straight to cleaning cause I had so much to do today.
‘I didn’t video half of it, but I just started out with cleaning the oven. This really took me all day today. I don’t even know why it took me so long, but I’ve done the oven, then I done my fridge and my food cupboards, and then I was doing my side drawers.’
Ruby revealed she cleans weekly even when nothing ‘looks dirty’.
She added: ‘Even though none of this really looks dirty, but it just feels like it is if I haven’t cleaned it in a week or so.
‘So I just wiped everything out, wiped all the cutlery back down, and then stacked it all back in.’
At one point, Ruby cleaned her air conditioning unit with a paintbrush to gently remove dust, noting that once dust gets wet ‘you physically can’t get it off’.
Between tasks, her partner Johnny brought her lunch from Greggs before she powered through the rest of the day.
Ruby’s pride in her home shone through as she shared clips of the spotless space which included matching rugs, placemats, fresh flowers and yellow summer-themed décor.
Despite spending hours cleaning, Ruby confessed the spotless space didn’t last long.
She quipped: ‘Then I started making dinner and destroyed everything again.’
Her followers rushed to the comments to say they were impressed with her pristine home.
One person asked: ‘How do you all have such lovely hands and nails yet clean so much. you are beautiful as is your house.’
Ruby replied: ‘I moisturise a lot and on the daily i only use water , fairy liquid and disinfectant I think bleach is the only thing that ruins your nails and skin really and my nails are gel not plain varnish so it won’t come off with chemicals x’
Another asked: ‘I aspire to clean to this level. How do you keep mud and dirt from your other half outside?’
To which Ruby replied: ‘My husband isn’t dirty at all if he has dirty shoes he leaves them outside.’
Someone else added: ‘I really admire folks who keep such a beautifully clean home, there a real skill to that.’
A fourth said: ‘You keep your home beautiful which is commendable’
