First, she starts by decluttering the room and removing anything that "doesn't belong".
"That’s food, sweaters, books, chargers from the night before,” she explained.
Next, Caroline puffs up the pillows on the sofa and folds the throw over the arm to make the room "instantly neat and tidy".
Then she wipes away any "glaringly obvious" smudges and stains from surfaces and mirrors using her homemade multi-purpose spray made with half vinegar and half water
“I’m not doing a thorough clean here because it’s just five minutes – so anything that stands out to you, clean it,” she explains.

Caroline then quickly dusts the TV with a microfiber cloth and tossed her cat toys into a basket and quickly vacuumed the main section of the floor.
"If you don't have the time or energy, that's totally fine," she added.
At the end of the clip, Caroline shows that she has two seconds remaining on the timer - meaning it took less than five minutes to clean the room.
The video has since been watched more than 8,800 times and Caroline's fans loved the tips.
One viewer said: "Couldn’t have come at a better time! My ‘22 reso is to clean my home frequently."
