7 EXPERT CLEANING TIPS YOU NEED TO BE USING: th-cam.com/video/-C-ic2H24OU/w-d-xo.html
4:39 all-purpose cleaner
5:14 soap scum buster
5:56 glass & mirror cleaner
6:49 linen spray
7:47 fridge cleaner
8:33 scented vinegar
9:36 floor cleaner
my linen spray that i use helps to disinfect anti bac my bed and mattress, 1 part water to 1 part witch hazel and then 10 drops lavender and 10 drops tea tree. (can halve the lavebeer and add 5 drops mint) this kills dust mites, mould and that bed smell! refreshes my bed in between the changes and when I strip the bed I spray it all over the mattresses and pillows to air dry! Its a beautiful smell and so nice to burrow into at night!
I also use a fine spray bottle, like an empty cosmetics spray bottle or something like that to ensure I'm not saturating everything!
Love it!!! Thanks for sharing Joy!
Joy Walsh thankyou for sharing. im am definitely doing this
Joy Walsh thanks for this one, fresh is always awsome.. ugh i hate any kinda nasty bugs.
Joy Walsh Thank you so much for sharing!!!
My favorite cleaner can be used on everything. This is the recipe - 1cup water
1cup alcohol
1cup vinegar
1 cup peroxide
1 tsp DAWN ( original )
put into dark colored spray bottle ( has to keep light out to keep peroxide active) not the clear or white, the must be colored enough to keep light out. This great it will clean everything plus it is very antimicrobial and anti smell. thank for the essential oil video this is going to help my cleaner
What type of alcohol 🍷is it rubbing alcohol?
When I am drying bedding or sleeping garments in the dryer, I add a warm wet wash cloth with 15-20 drops of lavender essential oils to the dryer. Then after the clothes are dry, I take the wash cloth and put it in my night stand to smell while I'll falling asleep. Love it.
That's actually a good idea!
Lavender stinks
Also. My husband owns a Window Cleaning Company (30 years) and they use dish soap and water... about like you would use to wash dishes. He insists on Dawn, but I secretly think it doesn't matter. The dawn cleans the glass and as long as you get it dry and no lint (obviously we use squeegees) but old t-shirts do nicely. Also--the dish soap leaves surfactant on the glass which prevents/slows fogging.
@Emily Myrick best to use it just for cleaning windows then!
I always rinse my washing up items very well (and live in uk so we don't get 'Dawn' here) I use Ecover washing-up liquid, but 'Fairy' is best for cleaning jobs (it's probably the same as 'Dawn'...😃)
I have used Dr. Bronners since my old Hippie days. It smells super, cleans great and you can even bathe with it. I know it's not home made but it certainly deserves a mention. And I've used vinegar for years. So Ms. Queen of Clean I am tickled pink you have brought it to the masses. Now alcohol. Thanks. I pour a little in the toilet every night. Then I use my Lysol wipes on sink & toilet everyday. Luv y'all.
White vinegar has been a long-held family cleaner--my great grandmother, grandmother, mother...Old wood floors, dirty wood furniture (diluted, of course), laundry, cutting boards, etc. it's great to see Melissa, that you're using the wisdom of our elders!
I think this is my favorite video from Clean My Space! Thanks!!
Absolutely love these tips. Never thought to use my essential oils for CLEANING! I'm making sure to pass this video on to a bunch of my friends. Thanks for the tips.
I LOLd at your sign that said clean house no fights! it's so true. since my partner and I started a daily and weekly cleaning routine the fights just seemed to stop. You're basically part SME, part relationship counselor. :)
Hi Melissa, love your DIYs & tips! They are so simple yet effective. Thank you!
Could you do a print out of your formulas to make up the sprays with essentials like a recipe book for housecleaning
I've made the switch to homemade, natural cleaners and I love them!!! I used peppermint, lemon and tea tree in my cleaners too! Thank you 😊
Love this type of video. Peppermint and Rosemary is another favorite combo of mine. Using that in my bathroom now.
Thanks for the tips on cleaning I really like the one on the floors. I can't wait to try it.
I love this video so much! Uhhhhh! Have made a few of these already and can't wait to try some more now! All natural is the way to go!
Thank you thank you for all these tips!!
I love how normal and down to earth you are. Your tips are original, not to mention effective and I don't have to spend a fortune. X
I love adding a few drops of lemongrass and/or mint to my floor steamer pad. Makes the floors smell so amazing!
Great tips, thanks for sharing.
Your videos always inspire me to experiment with essential oils...this video is just awesome too !
You are fabulous, I love watching your videos with all the wonderful hints and tips. I also bought the Clean My Space book a few months ago .... Amazing! Thank you so much! : )
Oh My!! I made the all purpose counter cleaner you showed - seriously it is THE BEST I have ever used !!!!
Thank you SO much! Really cleaned left no streaks and smelled great too ❤️❤️
thank u soo soo much for explaining the basics of essential oils!
Great! Thank you Melissa!
Great tips. I wrote down all of them and will give it a try. Thanks! I love your videos.
This is one of my favorite videos, that you have ever done...thanks! :)
I love your diy recipes! I am a proud owner of your book and was making your toilet bowl cleaner. Unfortunately I used the wrong ingredients. A little back story, I had a huge container of baking powder that I had for several years. I Googled what to do with old baking powder, it said baking powder is the same as baking soda except with a couple added ingredients added and old powder could be used like soda because it would be too old for baking. An exception would be when making DIY toilet bowl cleaner. Whatever is in baking powder did not mix with the other ingredients and I had an explosion that rivaled a Mt St Helens all over my kitchen and me. So I learned my lesson, do not substitute ingredients!
my favorite cleaning diy is vinegar and dawn dish soap for the shower and tub. my son even called before one of his room inspections (military) asked what I used to get the shower clean. I am hooked on micro clothes and vinegar now and love your videos
Thank u so much for the information about essential oils...
Thank you so much for your recipe 😊🙏🌹
Thank you for the info. I will try to use these essential oils for cleaning.
thank you sooo much for this video! I needed recipes! great suggestions!
I made that linen spay! It is amazing. I love it. I use it as a room freshener too.
I love watching your channel. This is probably one of my favorite videos yet! A question though, how long are the mixtures good for?
I loved this video. My favorite scent is Eculyptas and orange mixed together
So glad I learned about the linen spray from a previous video you did. Game changer 🙌
Jenny C such a great way to fall asleep after a long day :)
Love this! Thank you so much for this video!
NOW essential oils that you are using are amazing quality! My favourites are their combinations Morning Sunshine and Cheer Up Buttercup!
will try it!!!
COMMENT QUESTION: What's your favorite DIY cleaning recipe?
I normally use vinigar, clorax wipes, or a scrub with soap already in it. I don't usually use a recipe
Clean My Space I absolutely love the all purpose cleaner recipe you introduced us to! It works so well! Now I can't wait to try the shower cleaner from this video.
Clean My Space the classic all purpose cleaner that i learned from this channel!
I also like mixing vinegar water and dish soap in a spray bottle to up the game a little and it works great on our glass tables!
Vinegar, water and jasmine oil I don't measure 😂😫
Clean My Space Hot vinegar and dish soap. Cleaned my bathroom...SO GOOD!
Great video! I love to use lavender essential oil as a fabric refresher for my sofa and carpet.
I have saved 2 small old glass white vinegar bottles and I add lemon & orange peel in them with vinegar. Let them infuse for a week or two before first use. They cut the smell and add citrusy touch to it. Use that to replace regular vinegar in the cleaning process.
great tips !! Thanks for sharing :) I LOVE essential oils !!!
Thanks for sharing; I loved your video.
This is the first place I come to for needed cleaning motivation!
Love this, such helpful info for us beginners! I seem to have a lifetime supply of Mrs Meyers all purpose cleaner basil (which I do like) but I am using essential oils as an air freshener. I add 10 drops to a spray bottle of water and a bit of vinegar, then go around the house and spray it in the air. I bought a variety pack of oils and alternate to find the ones I like best.
The linen spray is fantastic. Not only does it smell good but if you are a caregiver for an Alzheimer's parent/patient, it calms them down immediately when they are upset, and it makes putting them to bed so easy! I had been using it for a while and then a friend of mine told me the nursing homes are now using lavender scented patches that they put on the wrists of Alzheimer's patients when they are aggravated and it calms them right down. Cuts down the need for drugs/restraints. I know your focus is on cleaning but I wanted to share because it has this added benefit for caregivers too! You have not only helped me keep my house cleaner while being a caregiver for my father, but my house smells great and he is calmer and happier since I started using the linen spray. I used it for cleaning and had no idea it would have that effect on him. Thank you for the ideas and knowledge you share with us. You have made a huge positive difference in my life and helped being a caregiver a little less stressful. I think you are awesome!
Love your channel, i have learned so much from you 😁
I love you DIY cleaning videos. I learn with you guys the orange peel infused vinegar and I've done it since, not only for the scent but for the degreaser power. Multipurpose I've adapt from yours like a year ago 1/2 cup orange peel infused vinegar, 2 cups of water, 1/2 tbs of dish soap and EO. I've been also using a fabric deodorizer that I learn in Do it on a dime blog, 3 cups of water, 1 1/2 tbs baking soda and 40 drops of EO. smells soooo ooohhh goodddddd!!!! have a nice day.
This video and your video on vinegar and water to rid kitchen of kitchen odors are awesome. Not sure what I have been doing all of these years... I will purchase my essential oils this weekend and mix my cleaners and label appropriately.
I love your videos,you make it look so easy to do .so I’ll be busy in this lock down stay safe and many thanks x
I'm so glad you mentioned peppermint oil!!!!! I don't know if anyone else has commented this yet or not, but..... Did you know that peppermint oil can also be used to get rid of bad headaches? OH YES!!!! I MUCH prefer dabbing a couple drops of that on my temples / wrists to popping ibuprofen. I was a little skeptical about it until an employee got me to try it. She said to sniff it a couple times after I dabbed it on, which I did, & I'm telling you, Melissa, not only was my headache GONE within mere minutes, BUT it smelled amazing!!!!!! It's no wonder so many of us LOVE our essential oils! They truly are, essential!
Love your tips thank you 💕
Glad I found your channel
Subscribed! Your videos are great! Thank you so much for these videos!
Not a cleaning recipe, but I love to use sage oil in your cleaning recipes. Love that scent!
I'm obsessed with the baking soda and dish soap to clean my tub and the tile around it. 😁❤️
Great info!
I love making my own room sprays I use up to 5 different essential oils to experiment with different smells and different benefits. Palma Rosa is one of my favourites just now xx
Thank you love your videos
New Subscriber here 🙋🏽♀️ I’m so excited to clean my bathroom now. Thank you for all of the very informative videos. Btw, you’re gorgeous, girl!
Peppermint oil also repels insects, especially ants.
Good one!! Thanks for sharing Marcia!
Marcia Bentley I have a massive ant problem I will definitely be getting some today .. thanks
Marcia Bentley are you sure ants? I've heard spiders but not sure ants- have you tried it?
I've heard ants, spiders, aphids and a few other insects as well. Just Google "peppermint oil uses" and you'll find a lot.
My ants love it...
Great video
I am so very glad you posted this, mostly for the comments reminding us how carefully these precious oils must be used. The big offenders are those truly awful plug in burners that create fine ash all over the floor surfaces, those give pets a lot of problems. I think the idea here is to give your house a fresh feel rather than covering one smell with another.
Thank you!!
I could not believe how easy it was to get the grease off of the stovetop hood with the grapefruit and orange essential oils! Thank you!
I just use water with white vinegar and it degreases my stovetop & it makes it shiny clean too!
I love this video because I have a lot of essential oils so now I know how I should use them thanks💕
whoa, thats awesome
The Real LesSolitaire im trying this. thankyou
Love this
sooo many great tips and recipes almost too must of the good - more of these kinds of videos, please :)
WOW😍 I love everything about smelling good🤗 and I love everything that you talked about 😍and I want to try them all 😍 I wish I can buy all these oils😅
Thank you very much Melissa😍
I just used the shower cleaner and it was fab! I've also mixed up the linen spray.
I'm all over these!
Thank you for this video Melissa! I really enjoyed it 😊. A couple of questions: Do you use distilled water or regular tap water in your DIY cleaners? Does it matter? I REALLY LOVE the "clean laundry" scent, or fragrance, if you will; is there an essential oil or essential oil blend that will replicate that smell for me? Many thanks in advance 😊
I'm a new subscriber !! Thanks for all your amazing videos 😀
I don't have a specific diy cleaning recipy but for the essntial oils I loooove the rose Smell and lavendar and white musk when it comes with baby powder smell
Thank you .
amazing video, making use of all your tips on cleaning.
Wow I will do the same.
Thank you
I am a new subscriber!! I just found your channel and love your tips for using my oils. Can't wait to watch your videos. Looks like I got a lot of catching up to do. Lol
Never thought of putting it in my mop water. Thanks for sharing! Have a blessed day 😊
Seriously @Melissamaker You did read my mind! I'm due for cleaning the good ole fridge!! 😷
i love this! i love how informative your videos are xoxo
Loved this video! I'm getting more and more into making my own cleaning solutions. I have been loving a recipe I found for a Homemade Daily Shower Cleaner: 1/2 cup hydrogen peroxide1/2 cup rubbing alcohol1 tsp dish soap1 Tbsp dishwasher rinse aid2 cups of water
Pour the peroxide, rubbing alcohol, dish soap, and rinse aid into a 24oz spray bottle. Then, fill the spray bottle the rest of the way with water. Replace the top of the spray bottle, and slowly tip the bottle back and forth to gently mix the ingredients. The hydrogen peroxide and rubbing alcohol work together to help keep mildew at bay, and the soap and rinse aid fight soap scum.
I found this recipe on One Good Thing by Jillee!
I honestly didn't think I would consider using essential oils for cleaning, I'm definitely going to try it out
First of all, I LOVE your channel! I do have a question though. Wasn't there a time when you suggested putting corn starch in your mirror/glass cleaner? Is that something you'd still recommend or is the solution you mentioned in this video just as effective?
good video, great personality!
I love your recipes! I recently tried your floor cleaner and it worked like a charm and looked and felt so much cleaner. One question: when you make your cleaning solutions, do you just store them in the spray bottles or do you only make them when you need them?
I love using vinegar ever since I found Melissa's channel I have never claimed the same again my house is cleaner and I save a lot of money using homemade products thank you Melissa for all your tips it really is useful keep up the good work
Great video as always! I wanted to mention that you might want to research using essential oil around cats. I saw kitty on the bed :). (I have 4 cats, 2 dogs, and i am a certified aromatherpist). Dogs and cats process things differently from people and dogs have limits with essential oils too, but The feline liver works differently and they often can't process essential oils since the oils are about 70% stronger than the actual plants. Some oils are worse than others but all have cautions with cats just like with kids and we elderly. Dogs also have limits with essentials oils. I do use my oils all the time but make sure kitties, and dogs, are in the other room and don't let them in a room where I diffuse.
My husband is just getting over the flu and I'm a few days behind him. Today, Saturday, has been the worse. I thought I felt terrible Tues to Fri, oh no that was the preview! I don't care what I feel like on Sunday but that bed is getting stripped and disinfected! Hopefully I can get up early enough to clean the quilt and get it dried. Then spray the pillows and mattress with some combination of the mentioned oils. If I don't get the quilt washed, then I'll spray it as well. I'm planning on buying a new one in the sales anyway. I'll probably go with lavender, another floral and a citrus because it's my bed I don't want to use peppermint or anything to stimulating and yes I'll be adding lavender in the wash and making your linen spray. Thanks Melissa xxx
i use eucalyptus, cinnamon and tea tree essential oil when i mop, smells awsome!!
Love ❤️ your videos like always now even more since you like essential oils specially mint I love mint and lavender
I use Thieves Cleaner from Young Living. It is a concentrate. A bottle lasts a long time. The spicy scent of Thieves leaves my house smelling very clean.
I love essential oils & use them all over my house. I also use them on my dog to kill fleas. Love your videos, i just found you a couple of weeks ago, been trying to watch all your videos I can find. Keep up the good work, many blessings to you & your hubby
ALL the essential oils you mentioned are in my arsenal. :) LOVE cleaning DIYs - especially with small children in our home. :)
This is one of my favorite go to videos. Tried the cabinets and the ones with a finish looks amazing. The ones that the finish is speckled and peeling, well they look better but nothing but refinishing or replacing is really going to fix these.I shared this with my mom and she is loving her beautiful cabinets. Thank you💓!Now onto the refigerator handles. Hoe do I soak them. Do I tie a rag to them with bleach water or just spray them down. Mine doesn't come off and fit in the sink.😕
Great video thanks for sharing your info. I am new to essential oils and also making my own cleaners so this was timely and helpful. I am curious for the different products you made and demonstrated here, are you making them as needed or are you storing for future uses? I am asking because with my limited knowledge of essential oils, I understand unless kept in dark containers they loose their potency. Thx.
I enjoyed this essential oils chat very much, thanks Melissa. I’m now looking for tips for cleaning metals, particularly copper pots and utensils and silver cutlery, what would you recommend? Thanks in advance.
Thank you for your great tips. I got this idea somewhere on TH-cam. I recycle and compost as much as possible, but I can't compost citrus peels in my worm composting bin (acidity will kill worms). So, I learned that putting the orange peels in vinegar for a month left the vinegar smelling wonderful for cleaning everything in my house. The vinegar also breaks down the peels so that I can put them in with my grass clippings and they break down faster. Keep motivating me with your cleaning tips, please ;--)
