# Numbered clean list with time or frequency cap

A home and real estate format, measured November 8, 2026 by Volume. https://tryvolume.app/working/home-and-real-estate/numbered-clean-list-with-time-or-frequency-cap

Repackage routine cleaning footage as a numbered list limited by a timeframe, such as 'monthly', 'weekly' or 'only an hour'. It worked for 5 accounts, with a median of 50x their usual reach. Type: Angle. Seen as: Video, Talking head.

## Why it works

The cap turns passive cleaning footage into a bookmarkable checklist. Christyy, Kat and both Emeline accounts all used '[N] things to clean [every month / in an hour]' and got saves.

## How to make it

1. Pick a number and a time or frequency limit
2. Overlay each numbered item on a quick chore clip
3. Close on a timer hitting zero or a recap to save

## Hook formula

[Number] things you should clean at least [timeframe] / if you only had [time]

## How this is measured

- Every post is compared with its own account's usual reach, not with other accounts. "14x their usual" means the post got 14 times the median views of that account's recent posts.
- TikTok videos and Instagram Reels are measured on views. Instagram carousels have no view count, so they are measured on likes against the account's usual likes, and say so.
- A post makes the library at 2x its account's usual or more. A format is a repeatable move (what is said or shown, or how it is edited) that several accounts used in breakout posts. It is listed here once it worked for 3 or more different accounts.
- Formats rank on how many accounts they worked for and how far above usual, damped so a fluke on one tiny account cannot outrank a format that worked for ten.
