THE PLASTNOFY METHOD

A cleaning routine that runs itself

The Plastnofy method is a home cleaning system built on photos, not lists. Snap a mess and Plastnofy creates the chore, plans when it’s due, and shares it with everyone at home. Every chore comes with a greener way to clean it, so you never have to look it up.

Why cleaning lists don’t stick

A paper list gets lost. A list in your head works until you’re tired. And a written list is only words, so it’s easy to stop seeing it.

Why pictures work better than lists

In Plastnofy, your chores are photos of your own home, not lines of text. You see the sink, the shoe pile, the chair with the laundry on it, and you know the job at a glance. Each room also shows Good, Ok, or Bad, so you know where to start without reading a thing.

It works like a visual chore chart that lives in your pocket instead of on the fridge. Think of it as a visual schedule for adults, and an ADHD-friendly to-do list app for the house.

FAQ

Common questions

Common questions

Everything you might want to know about the Plastnofy method.

Everything you might want to know about the Plastnofy method.

What is the Plastnofy method?

A cleaning routine built on photos instead of lists. You snap or type a chore, Plastnofy plans it and shares it with your household, and every chore comes with a greener way to clean it.

Is Plastnofy good for ADHD?

Plastnofy isn’t made only for ADHD, but it’s built to keep chores in sight. Chores are photos, rooms show Good, Ok, or Bad, and reminders come at the right time, so less has to live in your head. It’s a cleaning app, not a medical tool.

Is this like zone cleaning?

A little. Zone cleaning means cleaning one area at a time. Plastnofy does that for you: every chore belongs to a room, and the room that needs it most shows up first.

Do I need to buy eco-friendly products?

No. Plastnofy starts with what you already have. Swaps lead with everyday things like vinegar, baking soda, and old rags, and only suggest buying something when nothing at home does the job.

Where do the green cleaning tips come from?

Each chore’s steps look for real savings: cleaning a surface with less, saving water and energy, using the right reusable tool, and cutting waste. Plastnofy only states savings that are real, and never promises something can be recycled when it depends on your town.

Is Plastnofy free?

Yes. Free includes 5 chore photos, 5 product checks, 5 waste checks, 5 sets of sustainable steps, and 10 Ask Plastnofy chats a month, plus sharing your home with one other person. Typing a chore is always free. Premium ($8/mo or $60/yr in the US) makes everything unlimited and lets your whole household join.
