I fill our Toothbrush holders (about 1/3) w/scented Epsom salts from Dollar Tree 🌳. The Salts absorb the moisture, keeps it from getting "nasty" & smells nice. I dump, wash/rinse & put fresh salts in every other week 😉. Great tips for efficiency, 😊 Thanks.
I keep my trash cans lined with newspaper on the bottom (under the bag) to keep them nice and clean. The most I ever have to do is wipe down the outside. It was a tip I saw years ago and it's really helped contain any leaks or spills.
Great idea! I do something similar for our outdoor trash cans - I pour 2 cups of the most inexpensive Cat litter in the bottom of the can every week after trash pickup. The Cat litter absorbs any liquid at the bottom & helps keep trash odor to a minimum. That's a much appreciated perk during the Summer especially in TX, but I do it all yr🙂
Wow, I have watched MANY cleaning videos over the last few years- thank you for sharing usable and practical tips. I get SO overwhelmed as a single parent, I know I’m not the only person who “doesn’t know where to start.” This is like a visual checklist that may genuinely save my sanity. Thank you!
I have found the totally best way to clean my ceiling fan blades without getting the dust all over the room is with an old pillowcase. Just slide the blade into pillowcase and pull towards the end of the blade. All the dust falls into the pillowcase and not on to everything in the room!😉
I've cleaned for 20 years as an independent contractor, another hack... That drain grabber you got, also works wonders to grab clogs in vacuum hoses that are hard to reach! Love your videos!
I have another tip always get the broom and get under your bed every time you clean your room, just use the broom handle to push anything out and then you will never have anything under your bed, that's how my mom showed me how to do it since I was a kid...hope this helps ❤️
That’s so funny that you mentioned this because cleaning under my bed is partially why I’m here! We have the most beautiful hardwood floors (prev owners upgraded beautifully!), which I love, but since I’ve never had them in my bedroom I never thought of this as an issue…”dust bunnies”! I’ve only ever had carpet, & of course it got dusty. No big deal, I could just use the dust buster or the vacuum attachment -done!! But now. I can’t sweep or they go flying! My question is 2 part: 1. Effective cleaning under bed And 2. Preventative measures so it’s easier to clean next time! I thought about some sort of old sheet because then it’s not too bulky to throw in wash machine but I would love to hear anything anyone else can think of! (NOTE: I get the “super duper” a/c hepa filter and I have seen an improvement with less dusting needed, so I don’t think that’s the problem. They just like to go under my bed I guess!
@@shannonnichols3415 in the case of all the dust bunnies the only really good thing you can do it once a week or so you have to move your bed forward a little because there usually up against the walls and do it with a nice wooden floor cleaner thant way dust won't stick there as much... Hope this helps ❤️
Cleaning is never a 10 to 15 min. clean. Just cleaning the master bedroom the way she was doing it would take me hrs. I'm older now and I need to take breaks about every 15min. I get overwhelmed then I end up not doing any cleaning done at all.
I finally have a fully day off and I really want to deep clean but I’m soo tired so I thought I’d watch this video to get me excited and motivated 😂 it worked! ❤️❤️
I am so grateful for these tips, You are so real, And practical.. I love that you acknowledge your imperfections & share How you improved your routine over time thru trial and error .. It’s super helpful that you explain the WHY & you’re detailed but don’t drone on and on 🤗… And I think your home is beautiful .. But I love that it’s not a “museum “ .. it’s a family home 🏡 ! Also on a personal note, I grew up in a chaotic home with lots of neglect.. Cleaning was NOT a priority so I didn’t learn how to do these things properly from my mother… So it feels like I am now 🙏🏻 THANK YOU
Hey sweetie I became chronically about 3 years ago. Just watching and listening to you say just take it 15 min. at time helps me feel like I can accomplish house work. Feeling guilty cause I can’t clean the whole house at once. So glad I found you. Your steps to making cleaning easier with the tools you recommend. Thanks again sweetie!❤️
Don't ever feel guilty if you can't do the whole house in a day! Try this...Day 1: bathrooms. Day 2: master and another bedroom. Day 3: Living room (and if you have a 3rd bedroom). Day 4: Kitchen and laundry room.
It's Halloween and my Husband is in Boston visiting his family. I'm supposed to be with him but, I got sick. I've decided to clean while he is gone. Your video popped up when I was searching mopping solutions. I'm so glad I found your videos. Your subscribers are super nice too.
For vinyl shower curtain liners, instead of replacing them, you can throw them in the wash with your towels. They will "agitate" the liner and it comes out like new. The towls won't retain the grime, either (as long as you're using HOT water).
I have to do this because when I installed my curved shower rod I went a little too high (because I hate when shower liners hit the bottoms of tubs. Mine is about 2-3" from the bottom). So anytime I buy a shower curtain/liner I have to order from Amazon and pray they have my size. And instead of using bleach, I use vinegar now.
Wow lol I wish i would’ve know about the mop when I deep cleaned my walls and baseboards on the second floor. Definitely will try it tomorrow on my first floor. thanks for the tips!
I washed my bathroom rugs - terrible idea. The washer couldn’t get the water out and it hand to be wrung out by hand. Then I had to lay it outside for 2 hot days. Also timer is a such a great idea for washer / dryer!!! I love it ! Great tips for everything.
I used to toss my liner into the washer but the kind I currently use does not do well in there. 😖 I had to toss that trial one. Now I need to clean it by hand so it doesn't get all wrinkled and kinked up. It was only $2 at IKEA but they are hard to find to replace.
This tip concerns the metal rod holding the curtain. I clean it with furniture polish and paper towel. The curtain will zoom across which is helpful for children or me(74)!
Never thought about the walls! What a great idea. My mother always told me deep cleaning takes all weekend so I’ve never done it. Your way feels like it would take a couple of hours. Thanks for tips !!
I almost passed this video then I said… 🤷🏽♀️ Just click it! I’m so glad I did. Those were all great tips and great reminders. Thanks for the motivation and encouragement!
Thank you for sharing those helpful tips. I always dread when it's time to deep clean my house because it's so time consuming; your tips will certainly help make it easier. I would appreciate it if you could share/ link the brand and where you purchased the long handle duster you used to dust the master bedroom. Thank you.
I can relate to the spoon in the master bedroom. My husband gives our senior pup peanut butter before bed. If there are no spoons in the kitchen, they are in our bedroom.
This is the 1st time I come across your channel I know and I can say I am WOW.. I do the same exact thing as you do. It took me 2 minutes Into listening to your radio and I and I just have to subscribe.
I love these tips and totally gonna use them. The laundry basket is perfect for being able to transport items from room to room with the cleaning products! I’m usually juggling! Thanks again from a grateful. New subscriber!
Thank you for these tips. I really like what you said about using a laundry basket instead of a caddy. Makes more sense. I already do some of these, but like the way you do some of yours.
I find hoover steamvac carpet cleaning machines to be pretty useful on bare floors too since it always puts clean water on the floor and the amount of water it uses cleans up heavy messes and a ton of dirt build up in large areas pretty efficiently. The hoover steamvacs also have spinning brushes on the bottom to scrub stubborn dirt off the floor. I can also use the bissell crosswave to clean up any excess water. Anyone who has pets probably has a terrible time sweeping bare floors with brooms as the hair always sticks to them so I like to use vacuums that are suitable for bare floors and it makes quick work getting all the dry debris and hair off the floor before deep cleaning.
I use my mop of walls, cabinets, and baseboards. Hot water, 1 Tbsp powder Tide, and 5-6 sprays of Dawn Powerwash. Baseboards alone, magic erasers are my go to.
I can’t believe-looking at your house-that you have 5 kids. Good for you! I’m sure there’s days you get overwhelmed but it does look like you keep clutter down.
I wash my shower curtain and the liner in the washing machine, pop Them both in the dryer on low and they’re both clean! I use vinegar I. The washer to disinfect
Ty for the tips I use scrub daddy bcuz it does everything and been using the fabric softener from another person who had some cleaning tips to get ur stainless steel sink shiny use bio cleaner it shines all of the chrome ty for the vinegar tip that's going to b very helpful
Apparently, the fabric softener repels dust from building up on the walls so you have to clean them less often and the smell lingers for quite a while.
How often do you clean the glass sconces on your overhead lights and ceiling fans (Or any glass pieces, for that matter)? Also what method do you prefer (take them down to clean, wipe them where they are, or???).
I clean them quarterly unless they need it sooner. I hate taking them down because I’m afraid of dropping one accidentally so I clean them while they are still intact.
I clean mine every 2 to 3 months. I use a swiffer duster on them in-between deep cleaning. If they stay clean, I only clean every 6 months, removing the glass covers and washing. 😊
I’ve heard mixed things about this. Some say it’s wonderful and others say it can damage the adhesive. If I had vinyl/linoleum floors, I would try my steam mop on the lowest setting and see if that worked but I would be cautious.
Thanks, Girl!!! Work smarter not harder, right? Great video, thank you! I also LOVE your cooking videos.....just saying lol!! I just made the pork chops with apple pie filling and stuffing, and YUMMMM!!!
I got it I will get some help cleaning my house 🍂 other side of that what works best for bathroom floors? What about the wall in your master bedroom? Keep it up I look forward to seeing what some friends think of your channel
I bought a steam mop recently and it was seriously the best purchase ever. I use it on walls and cabinets, trash cans, rugs… Great video, just subscribed
Many of the disinfecting products do tell you to leave them on for about 10 minutes for them to disinfect, however I notice that the product seems to dry in about 5 minutes, it's almost like they just want you to use up their product quickly.
So. I saw on another channel that fabric softener is not good for your Walls. That it can make them flammable . Not sure if this is true . I wanted to use it on my walls and alot of people advised me not to . Enjoyed the video.
Fabric softener isn't flammable. It just degrades flammable retardant fabric such as sleepwear for children. If it was flammable it would start your clothes on fire in the dryer.
It’s 5-6 sprays of Dawn Powerwash, a Tide Pod, and hot water. I used this same mixture to clean the floors as well while filming this video just to test and it worked well. 😊
@rachplusfive where is the recipe for the cabinets in the mop bucket? You said it's on tiktok or down below but I looked in description and on tiktok and I didn't find it! Please let me know! Thanks :)
I just grab microfibers from Amazon. I’ve tried two different packs (I’ll link one in the next comment). Spray bottles I use are from Grove Collaborative and can be purchased from their website or Target carries them now. 😊
I don’t know exactly why it works but it does and makes the whole house smell great. Too many people have pointed out that it’s flammable though so I spot clean with the fabric softener and water. I clean my walls down monthly if not sooner with a mop which gets rid of the softener anyways.
I have a question 🙋♀️ I’m deep cleaning once a month for a lady and she has huge plants in front of windows inside the home so am I suppose to be moving them so I can do the windows ?
You can but if they are really big and heavy, maybe try to work around them… I use the Swiffer on my windows, the stick might be able to reach the window without moving the huge plants… 😊
Do u happen to have any wood cleaning and shining hacks? I have an old dresser that is covered in cigarette nicotine and it looks to have a white smokey film when I use pledge or any spray polish??? Plz anyone help
@@RachPlusFive ok thank u so much if u find something that is cheap and easy please if u can remember either make a video or respond I appreciate it so much
So far, everything I’m reading says white vinegar. I part vinegar to 8 parts water. Soft rag. Wipe furniture repeatedly until clean. Dry furniture completely to avoid warping or damage. Hope this helps. 😊🧡
Murphy's oil soap. Read the instructions for how to dilute. It will clean your real wood without leaving a wax build up, which Pledge type sprays can. Wash the wood with your dampened rag, then have a dry one to dry and buff with after. I have real wood and Murphy's has never let me down. It's also safe for painted surfaces and you can wash floors too. I use it to wash my leather furniture even.
I don’t have wood floors and have never had them so I’m not comfortable giving advice but I have heard wonderful things about the Bona mop and cleaner for wood floors.
I don’t but that’s only with the type of mop I’m using. The O’Cedar can be rung out extremely well and it’s made of a microfiber material so it doesn’t really streak and I use a separate mop head that’s only for my cabinets/walls so I don’t have to really worry about dog hair or dirt.
Rach, I have a Twist and Shout spinner microfiber mop that can be spun pretty dry . I’ll give this a whirl - great idea- thanks ! On another note , after thoroughly cleaning a shower do you immediately spray anything onto the shower walls and door glass to maintain cleanliness and avoid soap scum buildup ? I always use a squeegee after my shower with no after spray, but some soap scum happens anyway . After cleaning everything and using the squeegee I hate to wet it again with a maintenance spray . Maybe just wait til the next shower and spray after that ( I clean my shower while I am showering myself) .
I clean my shower while I’m in there too. Scrub brush filled with Dawn and vinegar. I also squeegee the glass. There are tons of after shower sprays but I have no personal experience with them. I might look up the top ones though and give it a try.
I tried a tip from another TH-camr today . She added to a plastic container with a lid one cup of Dawn and 1/2 cup of baking soda, and mix together . I am keeping that container on the seat of my shower along with a scrub pad . I dabbed the pad into the solution and scrubbed the shower while taking my own shower, then rinsed it all down and used a squeegee. Next time I’ll use an old hand towel to dry everything down after using the squeegee . It worked really well !
Thank you. I don’t believe it actually “cleans”… it will take off messes but it’s not sanitizing or anything deep cleaning. It does repel dust very well. I use Downy and whatever scent smells good at the time. 😊
I'm a new subbie and I am so glad I found your channel! Idk how I was cleaning without you and your tips! Amazing,. Thanks you thank you! Big Question...do you have tips for good dog hair removal as you clean your Coach? Will the Bissell pull up hair well too or is there something you can do prior to that also? That's been an issue for me as we have two labs and we keep coaches covered but hair still gets on side pillows so any tips tricks would be amazing! (And possibly also a video.) :)))
Thank you so much!! The Bissell pulls just a little hair. Before I use the machine, I either vacuum my couch or I use my chom chom. It’s like a reusable lint roller; I’ll link it in the next comment. I can add couch cleaning into an upcoming video. 😊
I fill our Toothbrush holders (about 1/3) w/scented Epsom salts from Dollar Tree 🌳. The Salts absorb the moisture, keeps it from getting "nasty" & smells nice. I dump, wash/rinse & put fresh salts in every other week 😉. Great tips for efficiency, 😊 Thanks.

For vinyl shower curtain liners, instead of replacing them, you can throw them in the wash with your towels. They will "agitate" the liner and it comes out like new. The towls won't retain the grime, either (as long as you're using HOT water).
Thank you so much, I’ll try that. The current liner needs to be cleaned. 😊

What is the duster you use for the ceilings? Great video!

Apparently, the fabric softener repels dust from building up on the walls so you have to clean them less often and the smell lingers for quite a while.
Fabric softener is flammable so be careful with using it all over your house.

If you purchase the more expensive plastic/ vinyl shower curtain liners you can wash them! ;-) it’s great!
I bought a steam mop recently and it was seriously the best purchase ever. I use it on walls and cabinets, trash cans, rugs…
Great video, just subscribed
Thank you 😊
The steam doesn't damage ur walls at all? This is interesting if it doesn't.
Wow! Great tips! I will be doing them all!
Thank you 😊
Wow! Great tips. Thanks for sharing
Thank you 😊
Many of the disinfecting products do tell you to leave them on for about 10 minutes for them to disinfect, however I notice that the product seems to dry in about 5 minutes, it's almost like they just want you to use up their product quickly.
I agree. I always have to spray a little extra to be able to wipe the surface at the 10 minute mark.
Great tips- thank u! Excited for the upcoming holiday seasons!! 🥰🤪👍
Thank you!! 😊
What kinda powder did u add to the bucket
So. I saw on another channel that fabric softener is not good for your Walls. That it can make them flammable . Not sure if this is true . I wanted to use it on my walls and alot of people advised me not to . Enjoyed the video.
Interesting… I’ll have to research that. Thank you. 😊
Yes its flammable!!!
Fabric softener isn't flammable. It just degrades flammable retardant fabric such as sleepwear for children. If it was flammable it would start your clothes on fire in the dryer.
I've thrown my shower liner in the wash, on gentle then hung up to dry. :)
Mine ripped apart when I tried that !
@@sherryseher7736 oh no!
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! I’m going to work in 15 minute increments because it takes me hours and that’s ridiculous
Loved this!! I own a cleaning company and I didn't know some of your tricks!! Good job momma!!! #momlife
Thank you!!! 😊🧡
What is your cleaning solution for you cabinets?
It’s 5-6 sprays of Dawn Powerwash, a Tide Pod, and hot water. I used this same mixture to clean the floors as well while filming this video just to test and it worked well. 😊
Great video! Where did you get that duster?
Thank you. I bought it from Walmart. 😊
where did you get the duster an what brand is it
It’s a Swiffer extendable handle duster. I found it at Walmart.
Great tips on cleaning thank you!!!!
Thank you for all the great tips
Thank you! 😊
@rachplusfive where is the recipe for the cabinets in the mop bucket? You said it's on tiktok or down below but I looked in description and on tiktok and I didn't find it! Please let me know! Thanks :)
I’m so sorry, I thought I put it down there. It’s 5-6 sprays of Dawn Powerwash, 1 tablespoon powdered Tide, and hot water (roughly one gallon).
Hi, do you have a link to the microfiber towels and spray bottles that you use or recommend. Thanks.
I just grab microfibers from Amazon. I’ve tried two different packs (I’ll link one in the next comment). Spray bottles I use are from Grove Collaborative and can be purchased from their website or Target carries them now. 😊

Thank you very much!
what kind of duster do you have?

Hey friend here watching. Your tips are so helpful thank you for sharing. Have a wonderful weekend 😊
Thank you! Have a great weekend! 😊🧡
what duster is that please
Swiffer extended handle duster
Love your long duster……
What kind of vacuum cleaner are you using for floors and couch?
I have a Dyson v8motorhead
why fabric softener to clean your walls?
I don’t know exactly why it works but it does and makes the whole house smell great. Too many people have pointed out that it’s flammable though so I spot clean with the fabric softener and water. I clean my walls down monthly if not sooner with a mop which gets rid of the softener anyways.
Your channel is the best , so informative and honest 👏👏👏👏👏👍
Thank you so much! 😊
I have a question 🙋♀️ I’m deep cleaning once a month for a lady and she has huge plants in front of windows inside the home so am I suppose to be moving them so I can do the windows ?
You can but if they are really big and heavy, maybe try to work around them… I use the Swiffer on my windows, the stick might be able to reach the window without moving the huge plants… 😊
What kind of duster is that you’re using for top to bottom?
It’s an extendable handle Swiffer duster.
@@RachPlusFive thank you
Where to buy long handle duster like you are using??? Pls let me know. Tks Ann
I purchased mine at Walmart. 😊
Do u happen to have any wood cleaning and shining hacks? I have an old dresser that is covered in cigarette nicotine and it looks to have a white smokey film when I use pledge or any spray polish??? Plz anyone help
I don’t have much experience with real wood furniture or wood floors but I am doing more research because I get questions like this one a lot.
@@RachPlusFive ok thank u so much if u find something that is cheap and easy please if u can remember either make a video or respond I appreciate it so much
So far, everything I’m reading says white vinegar. I part vinegar to 8 parts water. Soft rag. Wipe furniture repeatedly until clean. Dry furniture completely to avoid warping or damage. Hope this helps. 😊🧡
@@RachPlusFive thank u so much
Murphy's oil soap. Read the instructions for how to dilute. It will clean your real wood without leaving a wax build up, which Pledge type sprays can. Wash the wood with your dampened rag, then have a dry one to dry and buff with after. I have real wood and Murphy's has never let me down. It's also safe for painted surfaces and you can wash floors too. I use it to wash my leather furniture even.
Wowzers 💥🙌 Awesome tips momma .Thanks so much .I enjoyed watching.
Thank you 😊
What do you recommend to clean wood floors
I don’t have wood floors and have never had them so I’m not comfortable giving advice but I have heard wonderful things about the Bona mop and cleaner for wood floors.
Why do you use fabric softener on the walls?
I don’t anymore, I found something I like better. But, I learned about the fabric softener from a TikTok hack to repel dust from your walls.
@RachPlusFive thanks! I appreciate the explanation. What do you use now?
@KatrinaT powdered Tide, Dawn powerwash, and water.
Why fabric softener on walls?
Is that a microfiber couch i have a microfiber but I wasn’t for sure how to clean it I love your cleaning videos
No, my couch is not a microfiber.
What kind of shower cleaner did you use? I’ve never seen a color changing one before.
This is Kaboom. It’s fantastic.
What is the name of the dusty you was using to dust the window blinds
It’s the Swiffer extended handle duster.
After using the mop on your cabinets, so you then dry them down ?
I don’t but that’s only with the type of mop I’m using. The O’Cedar can be rung out extremely well and it’s made of a microfiber material so it doesn’t really streak and I use a separate mop head that’s only for my cabinets/walls so I don’t have to really worry about dog hair or dirt.
Rach, I have a Twist and Shout spinner microfiber mop that can be spun pretty dry . I’ll give this a whirl - great idea- thanks !
On another note , after thoroughly cleaning a shower do you immediately spray anything onto the shower walls and door glass to maintain cleanliness and avoid soap scum buildup ? I always use a squeegee after my shower with no after spray, but some soap scum happens anyway . After cleaning everything and using the squeegee I hate to wet it again with a maintenance spray . Maybe just wait til the next shower and spray after that ( I clean my shower while I am showering myself) .
I clean my shower while I’m in there too. Scrub brush filled with Dawn and vinegar. I also squeegee the glass. There are tons of after shower sprays but I have no personal experience with them. I might look up the top ones though and give it a try.
I tried a tip from another TH-camr today . She added to a plastic container with a lid one cup of Dawn and 1/2 cup of baking soda, and mix together . I am keeping that container on the seat of my shower along with a scrub pad . I dabbed the pad into the solution and scrubbed the shower while taking my own shower, then rinsed it all down and used a squeegee. Next time I’ll use an old hand towel to dry everything down after using the squeegee . It worked really well !
Hi 🙂 ! I enjoyed your video, AWESUMMM!!
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊.
Does Fabric Softener CLEAN?? What brand do you use? TYFS🥰!!
Thank you. I don’t believe it actually “cleans”… it will take off messes but it’s not sanitizing or anything deep cleaning. It does repel dust very well. I use Downy and whatever scent smells good at the time. 😊
I'm a new subbie and I am so glad I found your channel! Idk how I was cleaning without you and your tips! Amazing,. Thanks you thank you! Big Question...do you have tips for good dog hair removal as you clean your Coach? Will the Bissell pull up hair well too or is there something you can do prior to that also? That's been an issue for me as we have two labs and we keep coaches covered but hair still gets on side pillows so any tips tricks would be amazing! (And possibly also a video.) :)))
Thank you so much!! The Bissell pulls just a little hair. Before I use the machine, I either vacuum my couch or I use my chom chom. It’s like a reusable lint roller; I’ll link it in the next comment. I can add couch cleaning into an upcoming video. 😊
