    To anyone who struggles with cleaning and often feels overwhelmed/can't keep up, even after receiving all the standard advice of "take it 1 step at a time, do it in parts" etc. Investing in a robot vacuum has literally been such a game changer. As someone who used to sweep & vacuum over 3x/week, my friends got me a robot vacuum for Christmas. It helps so much with pets, and acts as a motivator to tidy up my clutter so that the robot can navigate my space. You don't even have to get a name-brand one, there's some out there for $100 or so that work great :)

      this little f*cker needs regular cleaning tho, especially if you have long hair, it's like one room, and then it doesn't move, cause hair is all around rotating parts 🥲
      so you need to unscrew everything and remove hair\dust
      that's my experience at least

      @@sakurazukamorisubaru Can I just say, I have three cats- one long haired, and two house rabbits who scatter hay everywhere, in a tiny home, and my robot vac only needs a little daily maintenance, none of which involves unscrewing anything, and the time that’s saved by keeping my floors 90% cleaner more than makes up for what is 5 minutes of unwinding some hairs from the sweeper bits daily, and once a week clearing the wheels of debris. I think you need a batter robot vac- look for one that can deal with pets- they manage hair so much better.

    One thing I do for really old, sticky oil (like on range hood) is to rub it with some fresh cooking oil and then wash that off. The sticky, rancid oil breaks down and mixes with the new oil (like dissolves like) and then the fresh oil is easier to clean off with soapy water.

    This is great - some really good ideas here - I just wanted to note that where I live (Toronto) most apartment and condo buildings do NOT allow you to sweep any dirt over the side of your balcony, or especially dump water so it pours over the edge (!), because then it just all ends up on your downstairs neighbours’ balconies, or even all down the side of the building. So although doing that feels satisfying for your own cleaning, it’s better to sweep into a dustbin and throw it away, and mop with a bucket in such a way that the water isn’t pooling over the edge, but just using enough water to clean your own space.

      I’ll give you the same advice my Rheumatoid Arthritis Dr gave me. Don’t push yourself too hard. Pick one room a day, clean it, dust, organize, declutter, vacuum or mop and just give it a really thorough cleaning. Take breaks if you need to. There are things that need to be done every day, like dishes and taking out the trash, toilets you clean as often as needed, but bathrooms don’t need a deep clean every day. One room a day with just picking up other rooms, keeps the house clean and allows you to not have to be cleaning all the time.

When they get older and can help clean up then maybe we’ll add a cat or two again.

    An actual real deep clean complete with genuine embarrassment with an attitude of "oh well" = most busy housekeepers. Thanks so much for this chill and great cleaning video. Was very calming for me after a long day at work. 😎 I love seeing how other ppl clean and the ideas we switch between us in the comment section. I do many of the same things you do and some a little differently. (Stop here if you don't want to read my 7 routines/tricks below, thanks 🙃)
    Per a tip for cleaning the toilet: I use toilet paper to wipe away the dust and loose bits 1st too but I also use it as my tool for the actual wiping part with cleaner. Toss in the bowl, grossness gets flushed away, which means I don't have to clean a dirty tool afterward or use a bunch of paper towels or continue to smell & see it in the trash even for just a few more minutes until I change the trashbag; I just get rid of it asap! I use juuuust enough toilet paper as a barrier between my hand and the yuck.
    Then I take my shower and clean my shower 1st, then me. So my toilet is always last. I enjoy cleaning my shower area so I don't think of it as a chore. I try to shower last so I can dry wipe major water-pooled spots like the shower caddy. So after I'm dry I just use that towel to pass over the still really drowned spots. I wash my shower curtain once a week in hot water and vinegar.
    I spray high traffic touch areas with a disinfectant every night (controls, light switches, knobs, etc).
    If I used a candle, I'll blow it out, outside so the smoke doesn't change the entire purpose of me burning that candle. I tried other snugging techniques but the other snuffings, to my great unfortunate discovery, still release smoke anyway. So it's just quicker and simpler for me to walk the candle outside and blow it out, out there, so the smoke can JUST LEAVE. (If it's super late I'll just put my lid back on and keep up with the soot so the buildup doesn't get too bad. I can't stand a dirty candle.)
    When the sun is shining bright, I like to lay out my toilet tools (scrub brush, plunger, holder, etc.) in the sun to dry after I clean them outside. (I also do this with my trashcans so they can air out before I replace the liner.) Think about it. You can remove stains (even poop stains from infant clothes) just by leaving them in the sun for awhile so I definitely use the sun's power every chance I get.
    After wet mopping and rinsing the mop and bucket out, I'll sit the mop in a solution mix of bleach for a few minutes then rinse both and hang to dry outside with the mop bucket turned over.
    After everyone has gone to sleep so they are no longer using the bathroom, I'll put some wonderful cleaner like fabulouso or pine allen in my toilet bowl and leave the lid up & the door open a crack just for the scent in the room. Since our bathroom is halfway down our hallway & we have to pass it between bedrooms and other living areas, trust me, this idea is purely: Lovely❣💯

      I would add that you take off the metal part of the gas kitchen, I don't know how they are called, and clean them as well. And also the metal thing of the bathroom sink, the one that covers the hole, you can unscrew it with your hand and clean the hole and the cover, then I run water with soap.

    It takes me on average 6 hours on a day off while motivated and highly caffeinated to clean an 800 square foot basement apartment with one bedroom and one bath (no stops)! lol! That's Just for a point of reference for anyone else who feels overwhelmed at times lol! That's the dishes all the laundry, sweep, vaccume and mop the floors and deep clean my fridge and reorganize my entire closet and dresser as well as just wash down everything and organize the kitchen and the bathroom entirely scrub the bath the toilet the sink etc, water the plants, wash the windows and mirrors lol....it's basically one working day. It's a lot, but it's worth it. The SNEAKY bit is KEEPING it that way! I've turned to putting little passive aggressive notes around the house for both myself and my partner to KEEP IT CLEAN LMFAO! Like....RINSE DISHES AFTER EACH USE AND BE THANKFUL YOU WERE ABLE TO MAKE A MEAL! Right above the sink and a little heart after LMFAO! It's tough love for the both of us because we cook SO much and both hate doing it lmfao....even though once it's done each time I ask myself why I procrastinated in the first place!!! Gahh! Sometimes you gotta just let it be messy and learn to get out and find some joy outside of the home too! It's good to have a balance ESPECIALLY if you both work a lot!

    We just had a friend crash with us for a little over a month and while I love her and am glad we were able to help her out, the m e s s is just extremely overwhelming. I was doing my usual cleaning routine until about four days before she left and then I realised i was so exhausted from constantly turning around and there being another huge mess to clean. The kitchen was an absolute state by the time she left, and i dont mean just dirty dishes, i mean the walls, the oven, everything has baked on and greasy crap all over it, even the bottles of condiments in the cupboards. Im glad she found a safe space to recover from her traumatic experiences but i work four days a week and its just a lot. This video has absolutely inspired me to get onto it and get things back to how they were before, just a little bit every night after work, thank you 🥰

If you could get your loved ones to use it every time they bathe/shower, It will cut your work by 3/4. To clean the bath area, basically you just spray it down with your cleaner and spray it down with water to rinse, job done.

I've been reminding myself to slow things down and take them a day at a time a lot lately and seeing this cleaning was 😌😌😌 so love that for all of us. Also, love that this focused on and not decluttering. I will, however, be scouring your channel to see if there is a video about decluttering, as well as checking out kynd kare. Another thing I meant to make note of: your cat's litter! It looks like you use a rather generic brand-- no shade or anything, BUT, have you tried pretty litter? It's odor free, ships right to your door each month, and all you have to do is scoop the poop out each day and stir the litter. It was created by this person who lost their cat to a UTI so it also comes w/ a color scale that tracks the pH of your cat's urine and signifies if there are any problems you should potentially be aware of!! Isn't that literally so cool? Anyway-- just thought I would share that since it's changed life and I never have to worry about buying litter since it just ships to my door every month. :))))

    I used to wash my balcony but it is terrible for the neighbors bellow us and also makes the walls of the building stained with water, soap and scum. I know if feels so nice and clean but that is not the best idea when you live on a building with other people. A thick big sponge, like the ones we use to wash cars, they can be a good option for the water part, alternating it with a nice big brush… and a bucket of course…. Thanks for you video, by the way. Really nice and inspiring.!!!

    This is great! I do worry a bit about the vinegar solution on your counter when "marinating" your sinks, we have natural stone and we've been told not to use vinegar.
    We have been blessed to be able to invest in a water softener system for our house, it made such a difference especially when cleaning!

    • @vaderladyl

      You can on some surfaces but no, no marinating the stone. Only spray and wipe very quickly.

    So far, so good! I live in an apartment, so I don't have a washer, a dispose-all, an espresso maker, a microwave (chose a toaster oven instead) or an outdoor area. I must be extra messy, cuz I do my stovetop, countertop and sink every day, at least. I'm too lazy to use the dishwasher. I do the bathroom every week. If u use an old toothbrush around the taps, it comes out perfect. I didn't even think this was deep cleaning. Seems like a weekly thing to me. I have trouble pulling out my couch, and cleaning up after all the plants back there. Once a year, I use my dedicated wall mop (sponge mop) to go over the walls. I go over them about 6-8x to get rid of the streaks. It's time consuming, for sure! I rinse the mop every couple strokes, cuz I live next to a super smokey BBQ shack. I just do one or 2 walls at a time.

    A much better feeling than warm sheets out of the dryer.... are warm ones that were hung up outside to dry in the sun!! LOL
    When we added onto our house and added a living room, Master bed & bath, and a half bath off the living room (I grew up my entire life with ONE bathroom, and raised my 3 boys that way!)... we built our closet BIG!
    My husband thought it was too big when construction was going on, but he doesn't anymore.
    BUT... my point is, we were able to incorporate one of those cool closet systems that have adjustable rods, racks, drawers, shelves, shoe racks, scarf/tie holders which many pull out to access, etc., so that ALL of our clothes are hung up on hangers or pants rods that are part of the closet system. Our socks and undies are in pull-out baskets, as are my summer shorts and tank tops.
    We don't have to fold and put clothes into drawers so putting away clothes is pretty fast and neat. Even our winter clothes fit in there, but the items we keep that are seasonal, I have hanging garment bags that vacuum down to shrink in size, and not only does it compact them, but keeps them dust free.
    If anybody has the means to do it, re-do your existing closets with one of these systems... I wish I'd done it to my old closet YEARS ago. Though it was much smaller, the convenience is worth it.
    My garbage disposal is a pail that goes out to my chickens, so before the pail gets funky... it goes out. LOL

    About the fridge refill:
    I said it a hundred times and I will say it again - since citrus fruits are Mediterranean, they don't need to be refrigerated. Same goes for a lot of other fruits and vegetables like apples and tomatoes, they will all lose their aroma due to way too cold temperatures!!

    • @Sankofo_90
      @Sankofo_90 2 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Idk who you said this to a hundred times. The creator? Either way. Everyone has their reasons for their storage. Depending on the climate where someone lives, or not having the luxury of enough kitchen counter space or space in general to be leaving all that produce out. Or even something as simple as convenience people can store their produce wherever and it won’t harm you 👍🏾

    • @Amy_Stanmore
      @Amy_Stanmore 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Mind you bizniz. Are you paying my bills? No. I will store my produce however I need to preserve the freshness. Where I live even in winter it's 72F. Summer? If you keep it out it's goes rotten and guess what your throwing your money away so the fridge is great.

    Just a side note, the solution for laundry machine cleaning is not recommended for frontloaders. I used to clean my frontloader with that exact solution due to laundry cleaners being expensive but then it started leaking and when I told the repair guy, he told me it was the vinegar making the rubber sealers pulpy, because vinegar is acid, it eats the rubber sealers away and makes it brittle and loose!!! The top loader doesn’t have the same issues because of its structure!!!

    Haha I think the system you have already for the hair in the shower is a great one! I lose a lot of hair in the shower bc I have curly hair and don’t brush it. So I ball it all up in my hands and stick it on the wall with some water and throw it away after I’m out in my towel.

  • @susansharp4810
    @susansharp4810 ปีที่แล้ว

    I always take my vacuum with the attachment into the bathroom with me. First off I vacuum the bathroom sinks, entire mirrors and backsplashes. I then proceeded to the inside of the shower and tub including the walls in order to get all the hair and debris off. Next off is the shelf above the toilet. I vacuum the bathroom window along with the window blinds. I move down below to the top of the toilet and all over the outside of the toilet and down around the flooring. After this I go ahead and vacuum the entire bathroom floor and baseboards in order to help minimize hair and debris before I do any wet cleaning. Then you can mop your floor before finishing with the trash in tow. I usually try and vacuum the walls and all other items once a month or every other month and then wipe them down. Always remember to wash the attachments in the washing machine after use.

    For stovetop I use aluminum foil to cover around the burner (cut out the round area to release the fire), fewer messes and throw away the foil. You can find them at Daiso too. They are adorable.

      Leave a window wiper in the shower to wipe tile and a dish brush in case there are tough spots. Wipe and brush during your shower then pick up hair to throw away.
