Millions of people visit Walt Disney World parks every year. In 2024, 52 million people made a trip to the company’s six parks. Despite insane attendance numbers, the parks have a solid reputation for cleanliness.

Robyn Buchanan, a YouTuber known as Minimalist Home, explained in a recent video how she keeps her home organized and tidy with Disney-inspired cleaning tips that its parks use to stay spotless despite “tens of thousands of people walking around every day with turkey legs, ice cream, sticky children, Dole Whips, and churros.”

She adds that Disney has built “an entire system around keeping the parks clean.”

Before bed, do a five-minute reset.

On garbage day, empty all little bins in your home.

“You don’t have to have a conversation with yourself every single time. The trigger is what makes the decision for you,” she added.
