7 EXPERT CLEANING TIPS YOU NEED TO BE USING: th-cam.com/video/-C-ic2H24OU/w-d-xo.html
Can Oxi be Used to Relax Clothing fabrics better then Hair Conditioner ? that have been Shrunk in the Dryer , Cause I’ve Noticed it does work well It Does have a Oily Feeling Residue when being presoaked , and Washing before Rinsing
I love that you showed cleaning your cat carrier! That gets overlooked a lot (I'm a vet) - I often see carriers that are 20 or 30 years old and appear to never have been cleaned, or I'm examining a dog and their collar is soooo gross and stinky! Maybe you could do a video about cleaning pets' stuff. Pet beds, carriers, disinfecting combs and brushes, cleaning leashes and collars (including leather). The video could also include how to take care of pet accidents - vomit, diarrhea, urine, feces... just a thought. I love your channel and your book! :)
That would be something I'd like to see, too - especially easy ways to clean pet beds that are too big to fit in the washer. I usually use a combination of cleaning wipes, a vacuum and lint removers to clean my cat's larger bed. But it still doesn't get as clean as I'd like it.
One of our kittens pooped and ran onto my bed with a little mess. I washed that immediately. All better :)
you all prolly dont care but does anyone know a tool to get back into an instagram account?
I was stupid lost the login password. I would appreciate any help you can give me!
@Kaysen Tomas instablaster ;)
@Oakley Curtis i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm trying it out atm.
Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
Thank you for the formulas which are:
Concentrate= 1 Tbsp Oxiclean + 2 Tbsp water
Soak = 1/2 cup Oxiclean + 1 gallon water
Spot Clean = 1 Tbsp Oxiclean + 1 cup water
Thank you
Thsnk you
I’m b
Just to simplify for those that don't use daft US measures.
Concentrate= 1 Tbsp Oxiclean + 2 Tbsp water = Ratio 1:2
Soak = 1/2 cup Oxiclean + 1 gallon water = Ratio 1:30
Spot Clean = 1 Tbsp Oxiclean + 1 cup water = Ratio 1:16
Thank you for the information
A long time ago a neighbor showed me how she cleaned bumpy lamp bases and other items in her house you would not put in a dishwasher. She used a baby's hairbrush! The soft bristles did not scratch the surfaces and still got into those little crevices. I still use this method to clean my 110 year old armoire. It has curved edges and claw feet. I spray liquid gold onto hairbrush and clean and polish using gentle circular movements. It cleans the wood and nourishes at the same time. I live in western Colorado and our humidity sometimes gets as low as 5%! I really enjoy your videos and use a lot of your tips. My husband has breathing issues and I first started watching your videos to get alternative ideas for cleaning without strong odors but still got the job done. I grew up using homemade Lye soap, then pinesol and bleach. SO HAPPY to be using baking soda, dish soap and vinegar for most of it!! I have used Oxiclean to clean my carpets since we got a fur baby several years ago. I would not use anything else on my carpets!! Merry Christmas to your family and God's blessings in 2019:)
Someone dropped a glass of red wine. It went on my carpet and on my wall which is white flat paint. I tried t clean it to no avail. The next day, someone gave me a sample of Oxyclean to try. I figure it was a lost cause and dreaded the thought of painting and a new carpet. Aftyer 10 minutes all looked like new, to me that was miraculous!
I’m on my cleaning spree due to covid lock down. Just spent 2 days (4-5 hrs/day) to really go though all products, and cleaned all tiled floor, all walls, shelves, sinks, mirrors. Today is day 3 and I have the tub and shower curtain and wall tiles to do, and couple of windows. I wish I had come across your videos prior to this, but I still got more cleaning to do, so I’m sure I’ll be studying tonight through your channels and target the next area tomorrow and onwards! Thank you. : )
Additional cleaning hack for the shower liner: wash it in the washing machine with the bath towels. The scrubbing action provided by the towels gets the soap scum and any incidental mold in the seams. Multi-tasking, yeah!
Sine 1972 I have put my above-the stove vent covers in my dishwasher, I have never had a bad result or had to do anything special. No negative effects on glasses, dishes, anything.
I LOVE Oxiclean! Been using it for years especially on carpet. I put it in my carpet shampoo with hot water. It’s amazing how clean the whole carpets come clean!! Thanks for the other tips!! Love your videos!!! I’m addicted!!!!
We used to use oxyclean on our blinds. Take them down and put in the tub with hot water and oxyclean and they are sparkling clean every time!
THIS IS MY FAVORITE. I want to try this because it's a disgusting task to clean my blinds on my kitchen window. It's sort of a "set it and forget it" tip.
@@karenrich9092 ok lo
O
Can u use it on the material ones
@@fazeelalaher6250 not sure about that I guess it would depend on the material but it might !
Really like the idea for shower liner and grout cleaning. I do these jobs for my wife and this will make my life easier
I watched this video a few weeks ago and I have come back to comment to say OXICLEAN HAS CHANGED MY LIFE. I had these dining room chairs with a light cream fabric that were HORRIBLE. And I mean HORRIBLE. They were so stained and I had tried everything to clean them to no avail. Finally after watching this video I used Oxiclean and *Angels singing* AHHHHHH it WORKED! It worked instantly. I was watching all this filth come off. I now use Oxiclean on everything. I really had thought I would just have to reupholster the chairs, but thanks to Oxiclean they have been saved! Also tried it on my tile on my kitchen back splash and it worked beautifully as well. Thanks so much, Melissa!!!
Ohhhh.... this is exactly my issue. I'm hoping the oxiclean works.
Are you kidding me. 😂
you had me at "angels singing" 😘
We used to use it alot, adding it to an empty washer to remove buildup smells. Also, we would add it to mop water for the garage and basement floors.
This was great you can throw the shower liner in the washer also and hang back up to dry
I actually put my liner into the dryer. It comes out soft and if you hang it back up right away it takes out any creases and hangs easier. No damage at all using the dryer.
I think she was talking about the plastic liner, but that is a great way to wash a cloth shower curtain.
I used to love watching OxyClean infomercials in the middle of the night on tv, so satisfying!!
I miss the host, I can hear his voice
😂😂😂
I've learnt so much from Melissa and reading through comments. In this video's comments there's quite a bit of negativity. Why bother posting a negative comment? Because you are hiding behind your phone/computer? Just remember tact and just know Melissa is only trying to help us!
Lesley Victoria um hello?! Are you new? It’s TH-cam, FFS! It’s also a COMMENT section! Lastly, it is not your job to censor anyone! 🙄
I couldn't get past "learnt".... But I think it's just a bit long winded.
Sometimes its not a complaint, but suggestions for the author of the video.
I.e. the annoying music
@@KT-su3qk Learnt is used in the right sense in the OP's comment. As in "Lessons have been learnt." So now you can definitely get over it 😊
@@vmm5163 um no it's not, but ok. Seems you're more upset with my comment then I was about the Grammer. I said couldn't get past not over. Should I explain or do you think you understand?
I have 2 favourite uses for Oxiclean. Being English we drink a lot of tea and the teapot gets really stained over time, so I put it in a container (because of overflow) I fill the teapot with hot water, then I drop in a tablespoon of Oxiclean, I then top up the container with hot water so that the teapot is totally immersed and leave it overnight. The next day, the teapot is like new and just needs a good rinse out, sometimes I have to use a small bottle brush in the spout. My second use is last thing at night, I drop a tablespoon down the toilet to eliminate any limescale build up and odours.
I need to try it on my tea cups. I have been using bleach.
Frank Rose -Hi Frank, I'm in central PA, where water is very hard because we sit on limestone. UGH. I use borax and vinegar every time I wash dishes or any surface, and tea/coffee with milk leaves residue that does not come off in the dishwasher. I keep borax and baking soda in a container by the sink, put a little in tea/coffee mugs, a squirt of vinegar really activates it, and all is squeaky clean for dishwasher. Otherwise, borax and dishwashing liquid diluted with vinegar when hand washing. My Japanese neighbor used bleach, and she was so glad to switch to my method. Hope it helps you.
That toilet trick is the bomb
@@adrianekelly2966 I live in central PA also.My husband likes to drink his black coffee in those thick,white diner mugs.😵I just take a wet Mr Clean magic eraser and wipe them out🙌🏻
Can you get oxiclean in england i cant find it?
Oh my gosh...I did this just now and I can't believe how icky & greasy those awful things were hanging over my stove! I had to do it twice to remove everything, but now they are shiny and clean!!
I’ve been in my house 21 years and ashamed to say I haven’t cleaned the filters on my stove vent in probably 15. I saw you use the oxi clean on your filters and I tried it. You just saved me the money for new ones 😊
For my kitchen...For about the last 3 decades, I've used a small (cup and a half) sized spray bottle...and I put in 91% isopropyl alcohol...and spray that into grout lines, and just about everything else for cleaning. It is absolutely great at removing greasy grime stuff...like what ends up on top of the fridge, or on the over head oven exhaust fan. Just don't mist spray too much at a time, as the fumes can make your eyes water. :P A little goes a long ways.
I've also used it to clean the metal filter such as what was shown in this clip. I've never really used oxy clean, but will give it a try after seeing this. However, what I like about the isopropyl alcohol, is that you don't need to wipe away any soapy residue...it just evaporates on its own.
The active ingredient in Oxiclean is a generic white powder called sodium percarbonate. Oxiclean is only half sodium percarbonate. Make your own Oxiclean. 1/2 cup baking soda, 1/2 cup peroxide and 1 cup warm water. Mix in jar and shake well.
Thank you for your video! I can’t wait to try Oxyclean to spot clean pet stains on my carpet. You asked for our cleaning hacks. Mine is using a solution of Murphy’s Oil Soap to clean the doggie enclosure on the porch. My mother had a little outdoor space for her Chihuahuas, and it would get smelly and sometimes get fleas. Mom cleaned up the solid material but still needed to give the porch area a good scrub and wash down. She would use bleach, which gave her migraines. I suggested she try Murphy’s Oil Soap, which cleaned, killed fleas*, and left the area smelling nice. Best thing- no more migraines from bleach! *only kills fleas at certain concentrations
Thank you so much for this video Melissa! The house I moved into has very greasy filters above the hob which I have tried to clean so many times. This worked a treat, can't believe how shiny and unsticky they are now!!
I sing OxiClean's praises loud and clear everywhere I go. I use it for 95% of my cleaning needs--eliminating nearly all other cleaning products. I no longer use regular detergents for general cleaning, laundry or in the kitchen. OxiClean is great in the dishwasher or to soak burned on food. I especially love the way you can drop kitchen sponges or dish clothes into OxiClean, and watch to gunk float away. This video is great!
I actually tried the trick with oven vents.......omg!!!! They came out so clean!!!!! I did however take a brush to them just a little to make sure non of the dirty water stayed on them under running water I’m gonna be cleaning them that way from now on!!!
I keep our organics/compostables in the fridge. Never gets stinky, even when it's full💖. You can also freeze each full bag until you're ready to compost it. My city has a foodcycle program where they compost it for you.
Hapa Mama what city is that? I’m always looking for policies on composting by a city or county....
Thanks Melissa for the tips. I’m afraid I was only using it for laundry. But I’m so grateful to you and Chad for this video, because as soon as I get up ( it’s only 4:50 am in Arizona) I’m going to get to cleaning. You named several things I need to use the Oxiclean on. Thanks again, Jean from Arizona 🦎🦂🌴🌵☀️🏜
My favourite tooth brush for cleaning is the brush for false teeth
😬
And have you used the narrower bristles at the back of the brush for cleaning around the stainless steel rim of saucepan lids? No matter how messy it gets, that narrow brush does a terrific job of getting "stuff" out!
America’s Test Kitchen (pbs) tested spot removers. Oxyclean won hands down. The product is more work than a spray on spot remover, but no easy remover could touch it. I had some in my cupboard that I had forgotten about. I decided more work is worth it! Thanks for this vid! Im going to try it on my shower curtain! Might as well clean the tub with the leftovers while I’m at it!
Good stuff Robin! Thanks for watching :)
My favorite way to use Oxi-Clean is to prolong the life of my sponges and soak them for 15-20 minutes 1-2 times a week...I also add a little baking soda to the soak as well! A cleaning hack I use with my Carpet Steamer is to add Oxi-Clean to the solution! I also have used baking soda in all areas of my home! I have a cleaning book from Arm & Hammer Baking Soda on tips from the laundry to the bathroom!
Thank you Melissa, I needed to see this video for my greasy overhead filter stove.
OxiClean is fantastic stuff ! I would never be w/out it. A bachelor friend of ours has told me it doesn't work. So I asked how he's used it. He put a scoop of it in the washer . Well, that's not how it works its best. I find that in a concentrated form is when it performs miracles. I've seen it get stains out that were "impossible" to get out. I've never tried it to clean the shower curtain liner, tho...so thanks for that tip ! I usually toss it in the washer w/some towels & vinegar. But I'm going to try your suggestion.
I have a Shih Tzu who uses potty pads in the house. I got 4 reusable pads that are normally used for humans that are bedbound. I have a bucket I put the used pads in and I soak them with Oxyclean before I put them in the washer. Those pads can be washed 1000 times each and they save the environment from the plastic backed potty pads people normally use for inside dogs.
That's a great ideal! I spend a lot of money that I don't have for those dog pads. Could you send the link?
@@conniemccleery962 it worked!
@@conniemccleery962 called washable bed pads I have them for my pet Amazon Walmart check internet for size and price
My mom was bed ridden for five years and I would buy them up at garage sales and thrift shops,then wash them in hot water and bleach(usually paid about $4.00a piece)
The OxyClean tub makes an excellent storage container - its completely air and water tight. The container label that is printed on it, can be completely removed with Lacquer Thinner.
My hack for cleaning up that raw egg you just dropped on the floor: pick up the shell then cover the egg liberally with salt. let sit for several minutes and sweep up the salt and wipe or mop that area of the floor. I have no idea why this works with salt but not with anything else but it does and it makes cleaning up dropped raw egg so much easier. In fact I need to buy more salt as I recently used up mine cleaning up the six raw eggs that took a header off the kitchen counter.
Sugar also works, as does clean sand; they act as an absorbent, making the sticky protein-based egg much easier to pick up.
would this work on dog bile?
Just to add a little tip to cleaning grout: I have 1 container with my oxiclean and a separate cup/container with clean water. This way I am not double dipping dirty brush into clean solution and not running to the sink to rinse off constantly. That helps to cover larger area faster. I did my entire kitchen with a toothbrush and initially ran back and forth until I figured there's got to be a different way 🤣
In addition, try to microwave cleaning solution for just 45 seconds or so in between since warm solution removes it better. Less wasted product with 2 container method :)👍
WOW... You are truly a Domestic Queen. Thanks for all the OxiClean tips :-)
I just clean my grease filter through the pots and pans setting in my dishwasher.
I've never heard of a pots and pans setting on a dishwasher, but then I've not had a dishwasher for decades. What a great idea!
I did that and mine got really blotchy discolored
@@lisbetsoda4874 huh? Could it have been the setting/detergent/problem with placement ? I stand them up like plates, and use any diswashing detergent in the house up to and including using a mix of eco washing up liquid and soda crystals (due to it being high in degreasers and how it does not damage the gold rims on my plates etc). Sorry I cannot think of anything else at the moment!
@@lisbetsoda4874 Mine too, I won't do it again. They look horrible now.
@@lisbetsoda4874 probably the material it is made of.
FYI..for your shower curtains you can throw it in the washing machine with a towel or two on HOT with a little laundry soap and bleach. Let it have a short wash and rinse and spin shake it out lightly throw it in the dryer on a low heat with a dryer towel or damp towel for just about 3 to 5 minutes it'll come out beautiful make sure you take it out while it's warm or it will melt or if you let it dry it will stay crinkly so fold it the way you like it or hang it the way you like it when it's warm out of the dryer. Hope you like it didn't mean to infringe. Love you channel
Oh my Goodness so I watched this video and the only oxi clean I had was the laundry spray and I said well let’s try it ( I’ve about killed myself cleaning🤪) I sprayed it on my baseboards ( white ) and it worked amazing! Then I tried it on the toaster oven on the outside we had brown and it wiped right off so I moved to the fridge where the water and ice comes out tree I’ve never seen it that clean ever so then I doubt I will try the oven and the fry pan . Well needless to say it put a dent in it and now I’m off to a ladies Bible study so I have to get ready , Thanks for the idea it was amazing!
I am not quite finished with total task yet, but I am blown away by the results this far. My deep fryer was in really bad shape with a thick build up of almost vulcanized grease around the top edge of the non-stick, removable insert. I tried boiling vinegar - the extra-strong cleaning version of common kitchen white vinegar. No joy - it didn't even soften the gunk. Next I tried Bartender's Friend, but no results from that either. When I watched this video and saw you clean the range hood filter I decided to give Oxy Clean a shot. I was a little nervous at first because of the nonstick finish. OMG - a paste of slightly less water to product ratio and a plastic scrubber is working wonders. I tested it first on the outside of the insert, and when it didn't hurt the finish I went in for the kill. Not sure how it will work on the plastic exterior of the fryer, but I'll just test it first. So far so good though. HOORAY for Oxy Clean!
I use oxy clean in so many ways as well! I use the soak solution to soak my a pool filters. I alternate two filters and they last the entire summer! I also use it in my carpet shampooer! I add it in with the shampoo solution and water. I always check that there will be no chemical reactions with the added oxy clean before buying solution.
Love all of the uses for OxiClean! Im going to be soaking baby clothes soon to prepare for the newbie!
I did want to let you know that I’m a CPST and unfortunately Oxiclean is too harsh for use on car seats. I urge you to call Uppababy, speak with a CPST, and let them know you used it as they may require you to replace the harness/other fabrics. I would also mention the use of a toothbrush as scrubbing can weaken the fibers of the harness. we usually recommend a damp cloth to be used with a dab of soap such as Blue Dawn or plain laundry detergent (ie no additives such as oxi, bleach, fabric softeners or febreeze).
Hack: For pet stains on beds or carpets, apply baking soda, then hydrogen peroxide, baking soda. Vacuum up when dry and repeat if necessary. (I think I actually got this one from you guys!)
Hack: Instead of waiting for mildew to appear on your shower liner, just toss it in when it starts to look a little yucky (but before the mildew stage)
DAWN and HYDROGEN Peroxide ! for carpet stains
Can you do a video on the best way to clean your carpets, how often, etc.
I was wondering the same thing.
Cleaning hack: to remove pink colored mildew on shower curtain, I mixed a teaspoon of tea tree oil, around 2 liters of water, 1/3 cup hydrogen peroxide, some powdered detergent and teaspoon of dish soap . I soaked the shower curtain on the foamy mixture and left overnight, in the morning the mildew was gone and our shower curtain looks new and smells clean :) I also used the same mixture to remove soap scums and tile mildew in the bathroom
Billy John Nacis why not just throw the shower curtain in the washer with your used cleaning cloths? I do and it comes clean every time. No need to soak and use extra cleaners.
@@jjweiss2817 we do not have washer at home and I don't know if the laundry shop will allow it and the shower curtain might come out wrecked :)
JJ Weiss Because the shower curtains come out of the washing machine shredded. You’ve got to toss it and buy another one.
I've been washing my shower curtains my entire life and I learned it from my mother. Never had one come out shredded... Not even in an old, heavy duty, agitator washer. It comes out wrinkled but it will straighten out with a few hot showers or you can throw it in the dryer on low heat with a towel for a few minutes.... If you don't watch this step it will be wrecked.
I have been obsessed with Oxyclean for laundry for years - thanks for the fabulous suggestions for household cleaning! I can’t wait to try them out.
Thanks for watching Betsy!
Great tips! Thanks! I have OxiClean and use it on laundry, but haven't thought about using in so many of the ways you mentioned. :)
Regardless of the cleaner you use, I think those pet carriers come apart to make cleaning easier. It can be a pain, but I'm a little OCD, so I need to get every corner and crevice. Thanks so much for the videos!
Oxyclean was the first product that I bought from an infomercial that actually WORKED. I LOVE this stuff! I have yet to find a stain that it doesn't work on! (And if I do, I would probably replace what I'm trying to clean!) Oxyclean works well as a jewelry cleanet. FYI. Love your videos🌝🌞🌞
I Just used oxi clean on my laundry for towels that I couldn’t get the dirty towel smell out of. They finally smell fresh and mildew smell-free!
The oxiclean odor blast is great for stinky teenage boy’s laundry. I was using everything and nothing worked until this! Not sure if it’s much of a hack but to clean my ceiling fan blades I removed them (I’m guessing the previous owners never cleaned them because they were bad). Then I made a paste out of baking soda and dawn dish detergent. I let it sit on the blade for about 10 minutes and used an old dish sponge and it came off so easily. And it was sticky and greasy.
Love it!
@@cleanmyspace I use it on my husbands gym clothes. They get so ooooooo oooo stinky!
I have really old vinyl flooring it had yellow stains, the faux grout lines were dark/discolored. I didn't have the funds to replace. So, I used a mixture of Simple Green ECO multipurpose cleaner, and baking soda. A handled scrub brush & stripped my kitchen floors. * it takes the gloss off. So after I did the entire floor and gave the floors a really good wash & dry. I applied HALLOWAY HOUSE floor shine. It looks so much better & its easier to keep clean.
I use the spot clean solution on my running shoes as well and every time I do, my shoes come out so much cleaner! Will say be careful because it can potential yellow the white parts of your shoes if you don’t rinse it well
I bought Oxiclean but have been afraid to use it, because of the warning about various fabrics. I don't know the fabric content of everything, especially rugs. I also remember that my mother had to stop using Oxidol laundry detergent when we were kids because it made us itch. I'm encouraged when I see all the ways you use it, but I'm still a bit afraid to take that plunge. I need to, though, because I bought it.
Also, L.A. Awesome is amazing in getting grease off...anything. I buy it at the Dollar Store and clean stove hood filters, stove tops, underneath the stove top, greasy towels or cleaning cloths, the bottoms of pots and pans....anything greasy. Water is what makes it work so you soak something, let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse. You really don't have to scrub at all. When the rinse water hits it, grease and dirt flow out.
I use a solution of half water, half white vinegar, plus a half scoop to a full scoop of oxi clean and a sploosh of febreeze in my carpet cleaner. Gets rid of dirt/pet messes and smells like you wouldn't believe! My favorite cleaning hack is using a timer- like Flylady says, I can do anything for 15 minutes! Also, there isn't much in this world that Pine Sol can't do- I add it to stinky laundry (teen boy sweat, animal messes etc), and use it full strength on wood floors that I am currently cleaning at least a decade of hoarder type dirt and filth off of, a section (aprox 2x2) at a time. I pour it on the section, scrub with scrub brush, soak up, and wipe with a clean wet towel. Doesn't even look like the same floor! Obviously you wouldn't do this on a regular hardwood floor, but if it's so bad you'll have to strip it down or tear it out anyway, it's worth a shot! Once they are all cleaned, I'll seal them and make sure they STAY clean (not my dirt, but now my house).
I recently saw the price of carpet cleaner solution. I almost choked.
I fill my big tub with a bath towel on the bottom put my oven racks on towel fill the tub with hot water and oxi clean let soak while oven is self cleaning, after about an hour of soaking I use a green scrubby sponge to scrub the burnt on food from the racks. They look good as new every time.
I too have been in a long love affair with Oxi-Clean. I have used it on clothing and curtains with very old, very bad stains: I stick them in a strong solution of Oxi-Clean, let them soak for 3 days with an occasional stir, then rinse them out and do the same again. I have had miraculous results nearly worthy of religious pilgrimage. Amazing.
Re: Mold won’t grow on the bottom of your plastic shower liner if you cut the hem off. The water will run off rather than get trapped in there. Your videos are very helpful and enjoyable to watch.
Looks like we've cracked the code to a mold-free shower liner! Stay tuned for more life-changing hacks.
I use my handheld showerhead to rinse everything off the shower walls--such a work saver!
Just bought Oxiclean today for the first time, and I'm super excited to try cleaning stuff with it!
Thanks for this excellent instruction. I know you have a video about how to clean oven racks, but I wonder if Oxiclean would clean them in the same way it cleans oven filters. I can't face putting the racks in the bathtub!
Thanks for these uses. I just found a large tub of Oxiclean in my garage (from my mom). Now I know how to use it.
I love OxiClean. Thank you for sharing these great tips.
I freaking love OxiClean!! I first ordered it off of the TV 20 years ago and paid $50 for a 1lb canister, squirt bottle, and a bonus OrangeGlo! It worked so well I never looked back.
Fave use for oxyclean: as a soak for all my cleaning brushes it’ll help disinfect and rewhiten the bristles.
Not as much of a hack as it is more of a method: as a caretaker for 4 apartment buildings when I have to carpet clean the hallways to save time I’ll fill the machine plus a 10 gallon mop bucket with fresh hot water and carpet shampoo and I’ll bring with an older empty mop bucket to empty the dirty water tank. This makes the job faster as it’s less trips to the sink to dump and refill.
My husband makes wine and reuses old bottles. It is ver difficult to remove to old labels and glue. So he gets a 5 gallon bucket with hot water and icy clean and put the wine bottles in over night. It magically removes leaves and glue!!! It is amazing!
This video answered every dilemma ive ever had about cleaning in less than 15 mins! 👏👏👏👏
Fave cleaning hack: Using sugar cubes to scrub burnt in remains of food. I use it to clean my oven glass and on my stove. It's especially good for electric cookers with cast iron lids on them. It doesn't scratch anything, and it gets all those narrow cracks beautifully. Grab a cube, dampen it very very lightly, scrub until it dissolves, then grab another one and scrub until the stain's gone. Rinse or wipe clean. I get some burnt sugar scent from the stove when I've gone around the cracks of the cast iron, but turning all of them on full for five minutes clears that out.
Sodium percarbonate is the active ingredient. You can buy it pure on Amazon. It's cheaper and because no filler you use less than half as much.
Thanks for that Andrew :)
I got some!
Thanks so much
Anyone swear by this
Can you link this product please? I don't know which one to buy, they don't seep cheaper .Thanks
I came across a pretty piece of framed lace that I used to have hanging on my window. It had started to look pretty dingy and gross so I soaked it in OxiClean and it came out bright white and clean. I really love using it to clean up spots on my carpet!
Definitely use it in every load of laundry 🧺 Love your tutorials. Sure hope you compost all the paper towels you use 😉
We sure do Mary-Lynn - thanks for watching!
Didn't even know you could compost them
I turned into your space to find out how to clean a carpet with Oxiclean, but instead, I find a bunch of useful tips more. You gave me new ideas. Let me try them and I share it with you soon. Again, thank you for your tips. This space is awsome!
I love this stuff already for my laundry and cleaning shoes and you just bumped it to a whole other level!! Thank you for sharing. 😬
..and thank you for watching Veronica!
I just cleaned a120 sq ft redwood deck with oxiclean, a deck brush and a garden hose with a high pressure nozzle. Turned out great and my landscaping was not affected in any noticable way. I pre moistened the deck with fresh water, applied oxiclean with a garden sprayer, let sit for 10-15 minutes (do this on a cool cloudy day, for best results), scrubbed with deck brush and hosed off. Let it dry for a couple days then seaked with one part boiled linseed oil and two parts mineral spirits ready for winter weather.
Thanks for the tips! I just purchased a big box of oxiclean from Costco, and I use it in almost every load of laundry.
Pls tell me how u use it
Hot or cold water and how much
I thnk you have to mix it on hot water to dissolve it
I love to use Oxi clean white revive to soak my white sheets and white duvet before washing and it works wonders!
God I love this type of video! Not only is it incredibly useful, but it's so satisfying to see you clean something that was completely filthy. 10/10
Also, I use it mostly for laundry and pretreating stains. I use seventh generation lavender detergent with oxyclean.... it's freakin amazing
Hi, I put a scoop in my Bissell carpet cleaner water container. Works like a charm when cleaning the carpet.
I am loving Oxiclean too. I forgot about it. thank too remind me. love you
Thanks for helping me! I'm cleaning up more. I have to save water so I clean my stove vents in a half-sheet pan. It sure saves water and product and my pans look good too! You are just the sweetest! ❤️
oh my gosh! i love that hair!!! looks great! can we do more organizing and decluttering videos please?
For sure! Thanks for watching!
Definitely! I need to organise and Declutter so that I can clean properly!! :) I have the book too so need to get my spaces clear so that I can do the cleaning routines!! :)
My husband gives me a gold-dipped rose every Valentines Day. I noticed
That they were sticky from years of dust and grease since our living room and kitchen are in an open configuration. I boiled water and mixed with Oxyclean and put it in a tall container and dipped each rose in the solution. I gave it a swish and pulled it out. Beautifully clean and no damage to the rose. I ❤️ Oxyclean!
Buying HUGE amounts of Baking Soda and Vinegar! My dog decided to use the back of my car AS a toilet.. after I came down from the tower of selling said car and dog. I bloated up the mess and once dry went over the WHOLE car with baking soda (sprinkled of course) let that sit for two hours (yes two) then vacuumed it up and no more nasty smell. Considering a crate for that dog next time though...
All my dogs love car rides but one will poop if humans get out of the car before him. So a crate with puppy training pads or newspaper is always there. Whole kennel gets scrubbed .
I used to do the majority of cleaning on cloth grow bags full of Roots calcium buildup and other nutrients along with lots of dirt. It works amazing. I can't say enough good things about it. You do have to use quite a bit of it but it does the job better than anything I've ever used. I've been doing this for 8 years now. I do the first five or six rounds of hot water just plain hot water the first two then start mixing in OxiClean for the next bunch until the waters majority clean. This is in 5 gallon buckets inside my bathtub. then it goes into the washer which my homemade laundry detergent is full of OxiClean.
Great video! I do have a couple of questions. What’s the difference between the regular OxiClean and the Baby version besides the Baby one being fragrance free? Is the Baby one just as powerful? Also, can you use OxiClean for moping?
I just purchased OxiClean for the 1st time yesterday.... can't wait to receive! Thank you, Melissa! Love your Channel & Book!
I would have taken cat carrier apart, and taken it outside and use the hose on it.
JulieAnkha N. some of us may not have access to a yard or hose.
I don’t
Surely you have a better place to clean a cat carrier than the carpet. Bathtub? Shower stall? At least put down a waterproof sheet of some kind.
and tie back your hair.
I was screaming “noo don’t clean it on the carpet!!”
I was thinking that too. I also wouldn't likely wash my running shoes in the kitchen sink. Lots of great tips tho; I just buy 100 percent sodium percarbonate.
Hack: Use a Texting Cleaning Buddy.... a good friend that you text "before" pic.... clean like crazy... then send an "after" pic. It keeps me FOCUSED because I know she is expecting an "after" pic.
Love this trick!!! I shall do this!! 😁
Hahaha I've done this in the past!! It works!
ok now THIS is a brilliant idea!!!
My sister'sn I have been doing this for years...so much so that right now they are out of the country n my bedroom is a mess!😂
Wow, I never thought of that! My BFF is a clean freak. She'd LOVE this.
Hack: to scrub into the corners of floors where you mop, like kitchen and bathroom, dip your clean angled broom into your mopping bucket and use the broom to deep scrub the corners!
THE NOODLES CREW this is a great tip!
Love this tip!! 🙌🙌🙌
Oh thank you so much for this tip. It's getting harder for me to bend to clean. Corners were really hard to get at until today! 🤩
i wrap a piece of micrfiber fabric around the broom
My favourite cleaning hack is using leftover lemons from recipes adding baking soda to it and scrubbing my kitchen sink with it. Smells great, cleans and shines it.
When you mentioned not mistaking the cleaning toothbrush for the one you brush your teeth with, it reminded me of a hack that I use. When a toothbrush becomes a cleaning toothbrush I wrap the handle with duct tape so there's no confusion.
I used the vent filter hack and it works like a charm! So satisfying!
You can get a similar product at Dollar Tree called Awesome oxygen. You don't get a huge tub but for a dollar it's worth it! 👍
Does it work the same
Awesome is a hidden gem from the dollar store!
sodium percarbonate
YES! And it's the only oxy-cleaner given a score of "A" by the Environmental Working Group, for product safety and environmental friendliness. All the other Dollar Tree cleaners are really toxic, though.
I think their orange cleaner is good, also natural. But I am careful with Dollar Tree.
Melissa, I love to use Oxy-Clean to clean my bathroom blinds. I take them off the window, fill the time with hot water and let them bathe a bit. Then using a gentile cloth I can wipe off the remaining dust. It also helps clean the threads that hold each piece together and the pull string that can show discoloration from regular use. It’s great. It is fast and reduces the displacement of dust and allergens in your home. Please share this to help others keep the surface clean avoiding dusting with dry cloths or vacuums. 👍🏼

Fill the tub... sorry.
It’s oxi not oxy
Lol I don't have any of my own cleaning hacks. You have taught me so much that I have yours. Lol
I just cleaned the extractor fan filter using your method, it was so gross and grimey to begin with I didn't think it would work... but WOW I am amazed! I think you might actually convert me to like cleaning 😆 thank you!!🌟
I love using 70% Isopropyl alcohol and paper towel to clean my mirrors and glass door cabinets. I think it works better than anything and leaves my mirrors and glass, crystal clean and lint free.
I also wipe down my chrome faucet with the alcohol damp paper towels to shine them up and sanitize.
Just throw your shoes in the washing machine with oxyclean they smell fresh and look new after drying
DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT USE ALCOHOL ON A MIRROR OR GLASS. It will etch the glass and make it appear foggy.
I clean those and my toilets with alcohol. Does a great job, it's really inexpensive, and it smells so fresh and clean.
I use 50% water and 50% iso. alcohol on my windshield...it really removes the streaking left by the residual oils in the plastic dash
clean with withe vinegar. way better results.
Best deck cleaner! We have a fiberglass coated deck and a cup of OxiClean in about 2 gallons of water removes a winter's worth of grime and algae. I use a deck brush and a liberal amount of the solution. Rinse with a garden hose and the deck sparkles. It does no harm to the grass below the deck.
Well I know what I'm gonna buy on my next grocery trip😁
Always awesome oxygen cleaner at the dollar store is the same stuff essentially for $1
