We'd love to hear from you - say hello down below! - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I spray inside door of washer and inside the drum with rubbing alcohol and then leave the door open and I never have a smelly washer 😉
Yep. Me too. I also leave the detergent drawer open. I use the Clean My Space formula 1 alcohol, 1 water, 1 teaspoon detergent, a few drops of the favourite essential oil and clean the inside and the door. Same for dishwasher.
I heard leaving the washer door up will help eliminate order. By drying it , wont allow mold to grow. I keep my open.
thank you
Your welcome Eva 😊
@@vaniar.1583 Thank you for that!!! I just moved in to an apartment & share a washer & Dryer with 6 other families😷 When I called to have the people come wash it they said they only do it TWO times a year
I let go of my home after a miscarriage and have been terribly overwhelmed. Somehow I came across your channel seeking a new approach to cleaning. Melissa, I can't thank you enough for changing my way of thinking toward cleaning and tossing! You and your husband are such a joy to watch; his guest appearances are funny:) CMS has been a part of my healing. Keep up the great work! P.S. My microfiber towel sets are on the way
Stay strong and hang in there! I know your pain!
I'm sorry for your loss. I lost two back to back in 2018 and I remember it was tough to keep going for a while. #iam1in4
@@klimtkahlo Thank you, so lovely of you:)
@@alainapotaduh I couldn't imagine going through it twice. I am so sorry:(
@@audreyh5562 Happy to report the cycle following the second loss resulted in my 5.5 month old!
According to the fire department,Lint accumulation deep inside dryers are the number one cause of household fires!!! Also,don’t leave the dryer on while you are away from home or asleep!! Stay safe everyone:):)
No, most fires come from the kitchen.
Thanks, very important.
If you have a fire place or wood burning stove lint makes a very good kindling to get the fire started! I clean my dryer screen after every drying cycle and throw the lint in a bucket and when winter comes I empty my bucket!
Yep
@@mamahen7147 yep, lint dipped in a little wax from old crayons or candles are awesome fire starters.
I would love a bed that has it's own linen changing function as I find making all the beds exhausting and would love to be able to just press a button and have fresh sheets especially in the summer time 😀
❤WHO ELSE LOVES CLEAN MY SPACE❤
keep up the great work 😘❤
BIG LOVE FROM A SMALL TH-camR 🙋♀️
Aussie Cleaning Mamma I see your ad 😊😊
You should check her out she's great.
@@felichiah5845 I did! And I subscribed 😊. Good to a fellow Aussie on here.
Thank you!!!
I really had no idea that some people didn't know that clothes, towels and linens should be separated--it just always seemed like common sense to me!
Yeah, you would think. 😆
People nowadays don't know how to do much of anything. My 5 year old knows this!
@@BronxFinest2481 lol, i know right. Im teaching my kids how to clean and do laundry now. We just started this summer. Their 8 and twin 7 yr. Olds.
Until I got married I never separated *any* of my laundry 😮.
Another tip for static... if there’s a specific garment that becomes static, put a small safety pin hidden somewhere inside it. The metal stops it getting static during the day.
Wow! 😃 Thank you! 💕 That's gonna help me immensely this dry season!
🙌 I’ve only done it with one outfit so far, but it’s not clung time since
Hands down, a floor scrubbing robot, that gets into corners lol!
ME TOO!!
Grout cleaning robot!
I have a robot and don't get corner. Old school hand and knees scrub. lol
I have used white vinegar in all of my laundry loads for years in the fabric softener dispenser and it keeps our washing machine nice and clean, and odor free.
I'll wash all day long...but putting everything away is another story...I've lived out of laundry baskets and dryers 4ever lollll
MizMookey The Recessionista I do 4 loads a week. Dry them and fold them all immediately out of the dryer. Have done it that way for 20 years.
Im the same way. I can gather, seperate, wash, dry, pull out , start a new load all day long. But, putting it up is a whole other story. 😆
So glad I'm not the only one that has to get clothes from the baskets or piles of clean clothes
Something I encountered recently is the dryer and my laundry smelling moldy and musty. I thought it was my dryer leaving my laundry too wet and it was driving me insane. Well it turns out that my dryers indoor ventilation kit had mold inside the plastic container 😐I had no idea since I recently filled it up and it was fine but because of that my laundry was coming out smelling like moldy basement . Just some tips for anyone who has one of these at home 😊 keep in mind to wash them every now and then to avoid smelly dry clothes
Could you do a video on bleaches, chlorine and nonchlorine, which to use, how much to use, etc.? Do we have to use the little built-in bleach portal? Seems it’s not enough so I end up waiting for the washer to fill up and add it myself, then soak. However, with these machines built for water conservation, sometimes there’s not enough water in there to add it myself without ruining the item. Help!!!
Yessssssss!!!! Such a great video idea !!!
I have also heard of problems with these extremely low water use washers.
it is possible to change water level on almost every washer. Check out youtube, you'll fine videos. I did it and super happy with the results.
Brigita S Thanks!!!!
WAP exactly!!!
At this point I'm still waiting for them to make me that robot from The Jetsons😅🤷🏾♀️
Nae West
Rosie the Robot! 🤖
lol
Nae West lmfao hey girl AGAIN 🙋♀️😂 shit we watch cool shit 😂😂😂😂 & The robot from the Jetsons LOL her name is Rosie 😂
@@TaylorM6668 lol hey girl hey... I couldn't remember her name at all LOL thanks nice to see you again.
@@tmalfieri1 thanks I was having a brain fart
My husband always throwing his jeans in with a load of delicates 😫😫😫I need a robot that would sense heavy rough denim mixed with soft delicate items and 1st slap my husband then refuse to start washing until the jeans were removed
Jenn Policy I separate all my family’s laundry. No one touches it after I separate it. Period.
Replace husband with robot. Problem solved!!
I want a robot that will clean my shower, especially the glass shower door! Oh one that cleans my floors too! Thanks for all your helpful info!❤️
Ann Frederick
I had that issue too and Squeegeed my doors daily.
Dish soap and equal parts vinegar in an old spray bottle. Spray generously and leave it for 10 min and then just rinse it clean with a soft sponge . Initially it might take a few times.
I now don’t Squeegee ever . I just do this method once every week or 2. This works great to clean your tub and tile and sink and toilet too.
Please note this is great for hard water
I squeegee but I also leave the shower door open to get rid of the extra moisture.
All you have to do is buy the $2 shower spray at Walmart.....spray the glass door after every shower....no need to wipe....just walk away, and voila clean shower door 😁 promise
@@CWdudeyo I will hv to give that a try. I squeegee all of the shower walls as well. Never hv to scrub them anymore. Pain in the butt tho.
@@CWdudeyo it's the best, I do that too I use Method shower cleaner, smells good and no bad chemicals in it either. Spray and walk away
My biggest laundry challenge is: I have a respiratory condition and I cannot tolerate the smell/fumes from laundry exhaust, caused by dryer sheets. Dryer sheets contain toxic chemicals and are harmful to our health. I live in a high rise, and needed to disconnect my clothes dryer because some of those fumes were getting into my apartment. So I have to air dry all of our garments and sheets. Can we please get rid of dryer sheets? Thanks for your tips, Melissa.
I have never used dryer sheets before..
Have you tried wool dryer balls?
So get rid of YOUR dryer sheets. Actually I don't use them.
I don't use dryer sheets. Some residents in my building do, and the emissions from their dryer exhaust was infiltrating my apartment and making me sick. I asked the building manager to disconnect my dryer from the building's main exhaust line, and now I don't smell anything coming in. I now air dry my garments.
Have you tried a condensing dryer? No need to vent them, you just empty the water out after every load.
I started adding white vinegar and baking soda to all my cycles,plus regular soap WITHOUT dyes and fragrances and it gets rids if smells and stains very nicely:) Dryer balls are awesome,I place 8 in each dryer cycle(it’s noisy though,my neighbor I am sure hates it lol)
Same here. No sticky residues, no odors. I've read that Vinegar can break down some types of rubbery parts in a machine , so I use citric acid as a softener. Works like a Charm.
I’m glad someone said dryer balls were noisy!! Mine are so loud, they sound like they are breaking my dryer, so i’ve never dared to keep them in!
Thank you for all the great tips and for also not cutting and pasting your videos. I love watching them since they are so smooth without jumping due to splicing.
Love this lady! GREAT Channel, great tips..thanks!
Wow, that was a perfect integration of a sponsor! I have not noticed until you said that the video was sponsored, and the tips were ACTUALLY helpful! Great video! 👏👏
Why thank you!
I feel motivated and ready to launder thanks Melissa.
Great info! I use dryer balls & I love them!!
What are your biggest laundry problems?
I was having drying problems and the appliance guy told me to take a Shop-Vac and suck all of everything out of the silver elephant trunk and the second vent that's in the wall. Simply cleaning that out made a huge Improvement for me.
White polo shirt (kids uniform) not staying white, then not being able to get them white again after. Dont want to bleach them as they have coloured logos on
Clean My Space my biggest problem is that it doesn’t put itself away! 😂
My biggest problem is doing the laundry 😂
A moldy smell lingers on my clean wet clothes 🤔
I love your videos and your tips are so informative. Laundry is such a chore, but this makes it easier.
Something that really annoys me is the way duvet covers or sheets get all tangled in the dryer and don't dry properly. I use wool tumble drier balls but they still tangle...any tips to prevent this? Robot pls to put away clothes in drawers and drawers. Love your videos.
I have found success with drying at a medium temperature and lower spin cycle.
Jill Martin I just dry one thing at a time now 😔 They dry faster that way anyhow but you have to keep on top of the dryer to switch the bedding out ..only thing I have found that works.
I set a timer to go off about halfway through that drying cycle. I pull the sheets out and untangle them, put them back and finish them off. I very seldom have a problem unless I forget to do this.
@@susanpeterson9947 that's my technique too 😊
@@susanpeterson9947 yep, this is the only way to get them dry in one cycle. I have to do the same thing. Inconvenient, but worth it.
Hi Melissa, many thanks for a very informative video. .
I like doing laundry! And I don't even do that much of it... I know, I'm weird...
You're always welcome to do my laundry---lol
Marina King I like it too!!! I do 4 loads a week, dry them, and fold them all the same day. I’m weird too 😊
I like doing laundry. I look forward to it. It's a good morning when I can do a wash.
Fabric weight 😬😬😬 thanks for this info
Better solution for 'stinky washer' - leave it open after use so it can dry between loads. No work involved.
Mary Temple that’s what I do, too.
Same!
Thanks for the tips!!!
I love your videos and just bought your book. Thanks for all the cleaning ideas! I'll have a robot to vacuum the stairs.
I hate noisy machines, so no need for a robot but a totally silent vacuum cleaner would make my day.
Lol, i know right. Neighbors down the street can hear my vacuum running. Its embarrassing, especially when i have to clean early in the morning.
I love that you have these well-deserved sponsorships!💜👌🏻🤗 I would have that robot put away my laundry, wash dishes, and take out the trash!🤷🏼♀️😄💛
Thank you! And for the record, I think I'd take that robot, too!
what about not using a dryer at all (if you have a place to hang dry them)? I never used a dryer in my life and I'm fine... less electricity, less money spend, no lint trap to clean, nearly no wrinkled clothes...
Wow...I didn't think ppl like u still exist! We line dried everything as a child but now I can't imagine not having a dryer!
Yes, when it’s hot out we hang out but when it’s cold we have folding drying racks we put in the house. It keeps the colors from fading and the downy smell seems to stay on longer
MizMookey The Recessionista Wow. I didn’t know people like you existed. So much ignorance. I live in Australia and here most people never use a drier unless it’s absolutely necessary. We care about electricity prices and the environment.
@@girlfromoz712 And everyone rides bikes?
CAROLYN BROWN no, kangaroos. The ignorance is breathtaking. No clue, no care.
I love y'alls channel! Greatly appreciate the information you two provide. I would like a robot that cleans the entire toilet!
My biggest laundry pain is folding! I need as robot-that does that!
It exists but price is outragous
I liked folding very much, but once we moved I never took time to organise our closets. Chaos in the closets made it super hard to put folded laundry back so I was stalling laundry because of that. Once I reorganised our closets I'm doing laundry every couple of days. This way I don't have too much to fold and put away, it's easier that way for me.
Simple solutions! Love it!
I wasn't going to subscribe. But ,then I started listening to you.You spoke so eloquently, and also you have a lot of knowledge. Thank you
Thank you, I am pleased to hear you decided to join the CMS Nation!!
I am going to try the static cling solution! Thanks!
how often should you replace plastic dryer balls?
I have been subscribed for a while now and watched periodically, my error, your channel is really helpful, but this video, thank you, I never knew about Carbona and just bought 2 from Walmart online. Also, about stinky washer. I leave my lid open but did not think about the pullout soap tray. I am definitely a happy subscriber.
I always love your videos, love your ideas, are your microfiber cloths all different or just one kind,
I want to order soon, again please remind me what dawn soap and vinegar are used on,
Thank you, much respect,
Ty u for the ideal and sharing
Can you do a video on how to clean that back dryer vent? Thanks!
Brilliant video I like new lg washing machine and dryerv
Thank you for talking about fabric weight! I do just light and heavy laundry but I never understood light and dark color laundry except for the couple things I have that bleed colors. :-)
I have always washed my towels separate from my clothing. It helps a lot.
How to clean arm pit deodorant stains? I have watched & tried all your laundry tips for this. And so far nothing works. Please help. Thank u
I am wondering about that with my hubby's white undershirts also.
I’ve been using Colour Grabber sheets for years. They are fantastic, I still separate into light and dark loads but these help not having to seperate further.
I love these kind of videos. Where did you get that clothes hanger you used to hang damp clothes? I did not see a link for it in the description box.
We bought that a long time ago, I think it was from Home Depot!
Okay first I love you and your fabulous ideas and hints. I took 5 hours to clean and reorganize my kitchen today. Threw away all my old towels and am now using my fiber clothes. You are my inspiration. About laundry - ring around my son’s collar. No matter what I do I can’t get rid of it.
I would like to know more about hard water and how to deal with it when laundering clothes. And also how to know if u have it
I Love Love Love your videos. I am hoping you can make a video on soap nuts, removing rings from wooden furniture, discolored plastic food storage containers and utensils, and a Nudread hair sponge.
OMG!! Melissa you totally validated everything I say to my husband! I already do all of those things, and I take it a step further when we wash shirts- I hate ironing and steaming clothing- so as soon as that buzzer goes off it is all hands on deck to sort out the shirts into their respective owners piles and hung up immediately 😜.
Where did you get that necklace? I love it!!
Cat hair on everything .... especially my black T-shirt’s help ! Lol
Thats why I hate animals inside the house .. they are so disgusting!!! They spread germs everywhere... they suppose to live outside not inside.
Lol! Pet cuddles are scientifically shown to reduce blood pressure, heart disease and other stress-related diseases including mental and emotional health issues, improving quality of life and overall wellbeing. Just keep pets clean and it’s not a problem! My cats stay indoors all the time and my place is very clean and sanitary, not disgusting at all! Lol! 😹
Loved your neck chain. Where do you get these?
Aden and Claire Jewelry has a wonderful selection and will even customize for you. You can find them online and on Instagram.
I actually enjoy doing laundry, but I'd LOVE having a robot to do my floors! (About the smelly washer - I've never had one, but I use vinegar in every load. That probably keeps smells away.) Thanks for all your videos; I've learned so much! :-)
The wool dryer balls didn’t work for the static for me. I’ll have to try the rubber/plastic balls b/c I feel like the dryer sheets are wasteful. Thanks for the tips!
I would just LOVE an ironing robot! I absolutely hate ironing, LOL! Thanks for these types Melissa. Cheers.....😀
We live an arid climate, and my dream robot would be dusting and vacuuming the minute the house is empty of people...fine, never ending dust is my biggest challenge!
Great video as usual, Melissa! Thanks! Laundry problem: my dog sheds a lot so aside from using lint roller sheets or running my gloved hand on the garments before washing to remove some of the dog's hair, do you have any brilliant ideas? (and yes, I do brush my dog regularly but still...). And the second problem to be solved by those tech geniuses: again about dog shedding a lot in the house, wouldn't it be great if we could have a robot vacuum that not only vacuums the floor but also vacuums the air and any surface where dog hair clings to like furniture, curtains etc. Something like a flying robot vacuum... Unicorns...?
A bathroom cleaning 🤖 would make my life compleat!
Question: How do you get black Sharpie out of white sheets?
Very nice tips
Mu biggest pain is sometimes after I wash my clothes, I find stains that resemble grease stains and I don't know where it comes from! 🤬🤬
Fabric softener is oily, it could be that.
Same! And i dont use fabric softener
Check your dryer I had the same problem but I ended up needing a new dryer
Thanks Melissa! My teenage boys have to watch this video, when I tell them to leave washing machine lid open after wash, I get blank stare. Please research better bathroom cleaning tools, especially for bath tub, so my teens can do their chores.
Ok I admit it. I totally binge watch your videos whenever I can. My question is about your myriad of recipes for cleaners. Are all your recipes in your book? I am hoping so because I have your recipes all over the house on scraps of paper thinking I will one day organize them. Please advise. Thank you from North Dakota! ☺️
Hey Mel. Great video and channel. I scoured your video library and couldn't find a solution to... Is there a way to dry your bedroom sheets without them folding up into a wet taco? Wasting time energy and $ in the process. Look forward to hearing from you!
Nice tips! I would like to add that I prevent the wearing of my clothes by washing them inside out. There is wear of course but only on the inside, because this is where it gets rubbed with the other garments. And because I air dry them I also do it inside out so that the colours don't fade on the outside ;) Crazy but it works.
Fantastic tip. Thank you
My biggest laundry pain is where my laundry room is, but that is going to be changing so I am really excited! I wish I had a robot to change the kitty litter LOL Thank you for all the great information!
I love your necklace!! Where did you find that pretty item?
Hi Melissa, I was wondering what is a good but mild laundry detergent? We use Gain but I find it’s a heavy smell, I use to use Purex and I think we’ll be using that again. I just wondered if you knew of any other hypoallergenic detergent. Thanks😃
It seams every TH-camr I watch that’s American/Canadian has these huge capacity washers and dryer’s and I’m so envious, I’m Australian and I live in a small house which has my “Landry” combined in my small bathroom, it has the laundry sink and then because the taps are above where my washer goes I could only get a small combined front loader washing machine/dryer, I wasn’t able to buy separate machines and stack them. Do you know of any tips on how to maximise a smaller capacity combo washer/dryer. I have mine, my husbands and my toddlers (I like to do his stuff separately) plus linen and towels, but I feel like I can never get on top of anything because of the Landry setup at home. Love your channel and your tips are great 😊
I have trouble with déodorant stains that won’t comme off and even get wors after washing (2h program 40°C)! Have you a solution ? Thank for all your vidéos. Love them all. Jenny from France ;)
Where did you buy that white folding table? I've been searching for something like that!
Folding/hanging laundry is THE WORST chore! I would rather scrub the toilet! 😂
I have a plant mister bottle that I was thinking about putting vinegar & some drops of essential oil & when I wipe down my washer after each load, I’d spray this on as I’m about to do that.
I would love a laundry robot or a robot that dusts everything! I'm talking about baseboards, blinds, ceilings, light fixtures, and furniture. My allergies would be grateful lol. My biggest laundry issue is that our machines came with our rental so it's always had a weird smell and a weird residue in the lint trap. I'm considering replacing the "elephant trunk" and deep cleaning the machines with Carbona. Btw I love the dryer sheet alternatives, I will be purchasing those as well. THANKS!
I feel like I heard you say in one of your videos about getting pet hair off before the wash, I was wondering if you have a tips video on the best ways to get pet hair out of different items e.g. blankets, mop, jumpers. Love all your tips and my washing machine is working and smelling a lot better!
Where did you find your drying rack?
Idk about having a robot do stuff for us but I would love someone to cook meals for us. I can do laundry and what not but cooking is just not my thing, but I still do it of course.
Thank you for all the tips and tricks! Very helpful! I tried wool dryer balls before and it made our clothes smell weird, any tips for using the wool balls? I would like to try it again
I have a 2in1 washer-dryer combo. How to remove lint from those? Are dryer balls applicable to those too?
I have a top load washing machine and I simply leave it open after use, and I've never had any odors. I also use vinegar in many of my washes to get rid of odors in our clothing, so that may help.
Thanks for your show. I have one question about laundry. Lint sticks to my clothing. Why does that happen
It's really hard to get the inside of my front-load gasket bone dry. Do you just need to get the puddle of water out in order to prevent mold, or does it need to be bone dry? Thanks for the video. I'll definitely get some dryer balls.
Mellisa, I recently encountered a cleaning situation I never anticipated. I had to clean the vent on my dishwasher. I regularly throw in a Afresh tablet and run an empty cycle but noticed "crud" not explained. My husband popped out the cover inside and found something so unexplainably gross I can not even describe. Another cleaning place not thought about before.
PET HAIR! If there was some way I could get the cat hair off my clothes in the wash that would make my life, but sadly I feel like I have to lint role any garment dark enough to show it and just put up with it on everything else. Even towels! Sometimes I dry off after a shower only to look like a Sasquatch afterward.
To avoid color bleeding my mother taught me a trick forty years ago, handful of Table Salt. Works like a charm. I keep a box with my detergent
Where is your necklace from? So cute!!!
Thanks for the tips. I cannot solve this laundry dilemma for years, I searched online, nothing. When I wash new precreased chino pants the first few weeks they look great, then suddenly in the next wash the crease line color fades drastically even when I always wash them inside out, even with different chino brands, even different detergents, it ruins good pants. Why does this happen, and is there a way to redarken the crease lines. Thanks, great channel!
Any discount code for your products melissa?
O gracious...I would love to use that Robot to clean my entire house Deep Cleaning 😀...thankyu Clean my Space channel I m a proud supporter of you..keep up this good work
Do a video on how to get pet hair out of clothes
Hi Mellisa, any tips on how you can get massage oil out of towels.
What do you do about black item's, especially sweaters, coming out of the dryer pulled (little balls everywhere)?
I love your videos. My Nightmare with laundry is the lint rubbed on clothes. They seemed stained but it's just lint. I thought it was the lint from the sucks so I wash the towels with the sucks and leave the polo shirtirts with cotton t-shirts and other cotton garments but some of the polo shirts still come out with stains and I have to wash them again. 🤦🏼♀️
Should you ever wash your dryer lint trap with soap and water or some other cleaning product?
My biggest pet peeve is the huge comforters...I need some advice on washing and drying them...and the bathroom rugs too I want to keep and maintain them intact a little longer.
Interesting❤
Pet hair on laundry is a great issue I face.. and we are not having a drying machine.. can you help me on this
