I named my Roomba “herd of moose” so when I tell Alexa to have Roomba clean, she says okay I’ll tell herd of moose to vacuum…it makes me giggle every time.
@@abarton1978 Oh for sure! I was afraid to walk out to my car but then I remembered that I have mastered the art of the cleaning spin kick and started escorting the convention moose out. I only had to spin kick one Moose and the rest left me alone after that. They didn't want to be spin kick cleaned. The one I kicked was so clean he smelled like a new car.
We have been in this house 17 years. I clean the garage about every six months or so. Well, 3 weeks ago I got in there and I got rid of everything, I had my car full of donations, my curb was full of extra carpet from 10 yrs ago, a big rug and just crap. I took everything off every shelve and took shelves outside and cleaned those. Swept under where the shelves were and swept the walls. I know what your back feels like now after all that. It took me 3 days. ❤❤❤

I love how you explain the what & why of your decluttering and cleaning methods all peppered with embedded jokes. It was so sweet of you to include the interior of her home because it will make her visit with her child so much better. She won't be worried and distracted thinking about the condition of her home. BTW-Having watched many of videos you are one of the few people I would ever let go through my stuff without supervision. You are very careful and conscious of what is important. Thanks for all you do for so many people
PSA from a professional in the power washing industry: PLEASE do NOT power wash the inside of a garage unless everything in that garage is made of water proof material. If you power wash the inside of a place that has any wood or drywall you will cause mold problems.
@ImNotaRussianBot Mac said he wants to come back to power wash the garage. It appears the walls are drywall. It's a common misconception that this would be a good idea due to people online posting videos of it.
The second any pets show up on screen my attention is GONE. I'm not listening to you or watching you clean anymore, just watching the cute little fur babies checking out your hard work. ❤
It's a miracle! The stove! The Stove!!! For everyone out there I have a tip for the top of the fridge. Put a cotton cloth cut to the size of the fridge then when you clean it next year just toss in the wash. You could double stick tape it but I don't find that necessary.
Top of the cabinets too, if they're exposed. Or if you're really lazy use paper towel and you can throw it away, but something washable is probably more absorbent. My apartment doesn't have an extractor fan over the stove, which should be a CRIME, so mine get pretty grimey.
I love how you help people out with cleaning their places. I find it relaxing to see order come from chaos. Your personality makes it all come together and helps me to smile and laugh when that does not come easy. Today, my cat was enthralled with watching Jason run around in the garage lol. Thank you for all that you do for those you help!! Enjoy your weekend.
The amount of my family members injured by 1 of those, 5 head injuries involving stitches, 7 leg injuries involving stitches..... there's more not sure it's all the tables fault or because we are all accidentpown I never got stitches at my grandparents house pretty lucky out of 13 grandkids
I have two of them and I adore them! My grandma had two touch lamps with the glass petal shades on them and I got those as well. It's so 70s but I love it so much.
The other day my wife was making plans for Easter dinner, having a few friends over. Said she was making a ham, potatoes, several veggies, and dinner rolls. Asked me if I thought chocolate mousse would be good for dessert. Told her, "No, just some of those little chocolate bunnies, should be enough."
I love your voice and how you explain what you do. I´m autistic with adhd and have trouble keeping things neat, sorted and to donate the things I no longer use. Your content hepls me sort out both emotions around those things and how to get started somewhere, anywhere - without getting overwhelmed by the size of the mess. Sorry if my english is not the best, not my language. Now I´m going to go into the kittchen and kick all the polarbears and raindeer into symetric order. ;) Thank you so much for just being there for all of us.
I mean really. From just the perspective of being able to garage one’s car means not having to go outside one’s secure home to retrieve something possibly forgotten in same. Your efforts provide exponential safety and more contentment in so many ways. Big and small. 👍🏼🇬🇧
Mac, and Jason, seeing you guys in these videos always brighten my days. Since watching you grow and hear Mac's talk I've even been able to help my own habits cleaning as I'm on the spectrum and ADHD and it's always been hard for me. Thanks for all your hard work and I wish for nothing but the most success with the channel so you can help even more people.
I am an adult living with my parents still, so is my sister, because it's just not affordable for all four of us to not. In any case, my parents both have hoarders tendencies in that they keep objects, but not so much garbage. Anywho, sister and I recently took a week off work together and spent it cleaning a room every day. Might sound like a shitty vacation but it was nice not thinking about work and just getting stuff done for an entire week. Anywho, one of the things my mom hoards is plastic containers from takeout. She will wash them and reuse them for tupperware. Thing is, we had a cabinet full of tupperware. We ended up resorting the tupperware cabinet, but we matched up lids and stacked them like that in there (donating things that had no matches/were old/no longer used/had to use anymore) and we did that because we had gone through that cabinet before and restacked things... thing was when we stacked them without lids matching, she claimed she could not find matches and that is why she started hoarding the junk. Anywho, so far so good with this new method and thought I'd pass it on as it might be a future solution. It certainly doesn't look as nice because it takes up more room, but practically speaking it works out better for our family.
When I was in my 20's a lady was taking vacation to clean closets and do some painting. I thought that was odd. Now in my 60's, I take days to get things done though I think I will get so much more done than I can. I am still happy with what I got done, but quickly overwhelmed by the rest.
Watch Dana K White and use the container concept to be the bad guy… say we only have this cupboard for Tupperware so what fits can be kept. Everything else goes. When she wants to add another, you say ok you can put that in, but what shall we throw out to make room?
Random comment here....your sped up video cleaning up the kitchen makes your foot steps sound like my kitten running around my house in the wee hours! The pitter patter is just killing me! 🤣
As an assemblage artist, I know how constant my organisation of my supplies is to me and my work. Even with a limited space I find, out of sight, out of mind. Ty as always for allowing others to feel the joy (even for a moment lol) knowing what they already have. God bless you and amen. 🇬🇧
Somehow I found your channel a few weeks ago and can only thank you for your heart of gold. Your compassion in understanding and helping people is inspiring! As for me, my sewing room is one of those "where to start" rooms. Also I get easily distracted and squirrels are always vying for my attention. Other parts of my house are cleaner than usual thanks to APC. Keep up the good work, you're amazing.
You can vent that dryer into a bucket of water. Add a section of large hose to the vent. 5 gallon bucket and lid. Cut a hole into the lid. Put the hose into the hole.
My husband does this cool thing with our drier vent during the winter. He took a 5 gallon bucket and drilled about 5 2" holes around the edge of the lid and then one large hole in the center that the vent hose can fit in. He then puts about 3 to 4 inches of water in the bottom of the bucket. He attaches the vent hose and then puts the lid back on the bucket. It catches the lent but gives us free heat during the winter in our basement.
I only found your channel about a month ago. And I am addicted to watching them all! You are exactly what I need for moving. I am Handicapped with progressive MS, and I have a caregiver 4days/wk. But I will be moving from my 1244 sq ft Home to a 420 SQ FT Senior apt when my name comes up on a waitlist. My name Just jumped up A bunch, so I am all of a sudden scared that it will happen in a year or less. My caregiver works so hard, taking care of me, dishes, laundry, etc., but there is never time to start going through things/packing. Every day I look around and say oh I just want to group X items, etc. I found an organizing svc but even senior rate is $55/hr. So I think I watch your videos dreaming of a team like you and your son would whip it out In no time and with such common sense of grouping items. I used to be such an organizer! Love your videos. BTW, know of anyone in Half Moon Bay, CA?
There is nothing like waking up at 3 in the morning, clicking on your video and laughing hysterically at your strange but effective humor. Sigh. Love it. I mean who doesn't need a good laugh at 3 a.m.? I was inspired to clean my kitchen tomorrow.
There is a neurological reason for that, and it's why I watch others doing anything it is that I want to motivate myself to do: it's called mirror neurons! We are all born with them, that's why kids unconsciously mirror/mimic what adults do. As far as I know we have a tendency to do this all through our lives. It's one way I put TH-cam to work for me, supporting my brain to do what I want.
I have! It started a couple years ago when I began watching a channel run by a woman who owned a professional cleaning company, then I started watching Auri and MMC. I also watch professional home carpet and floor cleaners. I need a regular stream of cleaning content to keep me motivated, fight against my ADHD mess, my chronic illness, and ever-present desire to lay down 😅
As a Taoist I can clearly see benefits to OCD watching y’all clean. It’s just so lovely and thriving when something as truly debilitating to many is in alignment with someone’s values and goals. That’s how come that stove came out so squeaky clean, I imagine. I believe OCD is a spectrum disorder, and we all should have optimal amounts to function, just like anxiety or depression. After all, it was the depressed folks in Ireland who planted all them potatoes ahead of a famine. I’m sure anxiety and OCD played parts too. I have come to embrace and manage my anxiety, and hearing about “optimal amounts” really helped me accept that my level prevents me from risky behaviours, like bungee jumping. God bless and amen. 😂💪🏼🙌🏼🇬🇧
I am SO glad I clicked on this video. That corner riser shelf in the kitchen (25:13) for the flour/sugar canisters ... I live for that stuff. A friend asked me "why do you like things on risers & not just on the counter?" Well, first I dont' have much counter. Second it's practical. Third it's way cool.
During covid when we couldn't find hand sanitizer or alcohol, someone suggested going to an auto paint place. I went there and got a gallon that was almost pure, so I just had to water it down a little bit to get to 70%. It was so much cheaper!
I love watching your videos because every time I do, it encourages me to tackle one more spot in my house. This video encouraged me to deep clean the kitchen sink and under the sink and get everything organized under there.
I decided to watch your spin kick this house into a super clean moose house, early. lol! I know she couldn’t wait to come back to a gorgeous home with spring around the corner. Your intricate design with how you manage all your clients houses with just the right color (windows, etc) is so refreshing to me! Jason, btw, is getting super good with declutterring or organizing. Way to go y’all and see ya in the next video! 😊
You are a blessing to all the people you help. Also thank you for all your advice. There is something so relaxing about taking a break and watching you guys make order from chaos. When you do the filming in real time it always throws me because I’ve become so used to the speed ups!
My moose Bullwinkle got a big kick out of your moose reference! He even did his moose laugh. People come from miles away just to hear his moose laugh. Great job, guys! 🫎
Recently stumbled across your vlogs and I have to say a huge thank you. I have now watched many video's and subscribed. I have been very depressed, I lost my Mom to cancer, my Dad to Dementia and had previously lost my daughter to depression. I use to love cleaning and organizing with my ocd I organize....lol. After my Dad passing I just gave up but watching your passion also for cleaning I have started again and the sense of pleasure and accomplishment has returned plus I tried your APC recipe and love the results. Thank you very much again, I am now once again in a clean and sanitary home. 😊
I love to see your videos helping folks. Al Blades videos are him helping folks with bad yards. Dumpster diving momma of 2 videos are het helping multiple refuges and mental health facilities. So many TH-camrs doing stuff for free to help others. Its wonderful and does my heart good to watch xx
I love not only the comedic commentary of course, but the tips on cleaning and organizing as you go. Also the information and tips on the mental space and even mental health. Thank you for this and your compassion.
I love that you guys are so systematic. It makes watching these videos so freaking satisfying! Thanks for helping these people who struggle with organization.
What you did for their stove top is amazing! I never thought of using oven cleaner on the outside. I don't need to, but I never thought of it. Wow. I bet she was thrilled!
“The point is, I can beat up a moose”. 😂😂😂. You’ve been such a help and inspiration as I work to clear and clean pockets of our house. Your cheerful voice lifts my spirits so much! ❤
This was a great video! It’s always a pleasure to watch you, Jason and your daughter, restore order and cleanliness from chaos! I love your moderation and occasional silliness! Thank you
What a kind service to do. What a relief for that woman to have a kitchen cleaned for her daughters visit. She must have been so grateful...I certainly would have been.
I guess because the garage walls are finished, when the video first started I thought you were in a living room and when you said this isn’t a hoarding issue I said (out loud) “Not a hoarding issue?!?! There’s a motorcycle in the living room!!!!”. I was way confused. Love your videos!!!!!❤❤❤
I’m sure you get thanked all the time. but wow, I did want to thank you if there was only more people like you in this world. I about cry after each video. I used to be such a neat freak and it irritated everybody, but no longer and I can’t seem to get myself out of it and I just look around and I can’t do it.. just knowing there are people around in this world like you it’s pretty awesome.
This was so helpful for this family. They can now have a nice visit with their daughter and not have to wear themselves out beforehand. It is so nice that you might come back and help with landscaping. I like when you do something extra because you know how and it helps the people so much.. Such as in the home with soot... you painted, repaired walls and fixed some plumbing. That was awesome. Good for Jason to learn from you. I didn't have patience to learn from my parents when I had the opportunity.
Ohhh I want to try film myself and make a video just for me of cleaning my entire house. You have given me inspiration. My Daughter is coming home for a visit after 5 years of being away. And she's bringing home my toddler Grandchildren. They are staying in my house and my Dad is too old to really do everyday cleaning so I really need to do major cleaning especially since we have pets in our home too. Your humor adds a smile to my day. Thank you.
INCREDIBLE MACK‼️‼️ Gotta say something here… Jason is truly a terrific son! He impresses me that he’s with you on all these videos working his Fanny 🤪 off. And CONGRATULATIONS to him on his coming baby!!! Can’t leave the handsome silly GRANDPA out in thise CONGRATULATIONS either! I’m sure your entire family is crazy happy with this next generation coming! I was when mine began… then when the Greats started??? Holy shit!!! Made me feel older than dirt!! Then I met those beautiful little people!!! Having my children was the most rewarding and joyful thing of my life!!! Truly! When the Grands started coming and now into their 20s? The youngest one will be 18 in September, still close enough to the 20s… But these awesome people have made my like than I EVER dreamed possible!!! Of course the 2 youngest I practically raised and are in a super special category, but they are the true lights of my life. Mack, you’re fixing to find out that the new generation is gonna turn you into a big pile of MUSH!!! ❤❤❤ I never would’ve thought that possible in my life, but you’ll soon see. I already heard your amazed and delighted joy on the announcement vid… these new little people are gonna ROCK YOUR WORLD like it’s never been rocked! I look forward to every one of your delightful, informative and inspiring videos… keep them coming! Also want to congratulate you AND… Emily in yalls new and fancy ( said Mack style) rides! Sounds like y’all have worked hard and been through enough to deserve and appreciate them!! Good on both y’all!!! I keep Emily’s health and yalls strength in my prayers as well. Mentioned in one of my back messages that I had lived in Rantoul, Il so u have a clue about your town/area… seems almost as if Illinois has more land than even Texas! But y’all are in an agricultural area, we just don’t do stuff with this land. A lot of it isn’t fit to live on or fit any kind of use… so that’s why there’s so much more land here… 🤪🙄 Love y’all and take care. Gonna finish watching this video..
And that little sitting space area he created 😊 I always like to imagine how happy the face of the homeowner is too. I can just imagine the joy that'll last a few days too. 😊❤
Hey there... I've been watching your "Working with Autism" video after I watched this one. I cried thru a lot of it because you put a voice to so many thoughts and feelings I have and about how I function. It's the first time I've ever heard my own words vocalized in a way that might help others understand me. This means so much... Just to be understood. Thank you for being who you are. I'm not religious, but just know that you and your family are a blessing to this world.
Such a great organizing video!! You made a usable garage! I am in love with my SOS pads. They get the crud off. Your scrapping and cleaning methods are fantastic! I also love that when you are done the people can find all of there stuff, and it is all organized. It bugs me when someone "cleans" and really just throws everything away. That is a cop out. Then the people have to get new stuff and it is not organized. If they can keep it like you do it, it will stay, and you have really helped them! Have a great week!
I like how you equate hoarding and clutter to possible neurological conditions. I know you are not trained in psychology but us neurodiverse types tend to recognise these traits in others. I am (undiagnosed) but quite obviously autistic and I've come to believe that I might possibly have OCD too. I can notice a direct link between my mental health and the condition of my home. When I am ignoring my problems/ worries, the clutter builds. Then when I start to sort through the physical mess I simultaneously sort through the mess that ia my mind! I am currently in a sorting stage after 2-3 months of apathy and avoidance. You do amazing work!
My cleaning Angel. Your New Moose Mech. gave me a good laugh. Your daughter is talented for sure. As usual, you have done a fabulous job for this lady with her Garage Kitchen and Bathroom 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Your are the best 🌞
That Mr. Clean freak is AMAZING!!!! I knew nothing about it until I started watching your videos. I chose the one with the laundry scent in it and OMG, I am in LOVE!
I named my Roomba “herd of moose” so when I tell Alexa to have Roomba clean, she says okay I’ll tell herd of moose to vacuum…it makes me giggle every time.

Man! I am so not an automated homeperson, but that would be fun!
I came across a Moose convention recently and they were all pretty straight forward that they don't want to mess with you. Their stories were wild.
This is a hoot!
Except for the moose in the parking lot who were all smoking stogies and drinking 40's out of paper bags. Those heckin moose were belligerent.
@@abarton1978 Oh for sure! I was afraid to walk out to my car but then I remembered that I have mastered the art of the cleaning spin kick and started escorting the convention moose out.

@@babydahl9424 Fresh-faced new moose car smell. They should start including that in the fresh pine tree car hangers.

@@janetphelps6879 Haha! I would help!
You gotta learn how to spin-kick. Saves a lot of time. 😉
Good Job! Spring cleaning has Sprung! We're impressed. 😉🌻🥀
This lady must of felt so happy to welcome back her family in a clean place for their visit such a gift to give her. You guys are so awesome!!!!!
Agree 👍
Mack: If you don't know what steel wool is, it just comes from metal sheep.

@@koenigxoloLol
He probably just meant the ground but that's a good piece of advice nonetheless
The second any pets show up on screen my attention is GONE. I'm not listening to you or watching you clean anymore, just watching the cute little fur babies checking out your hard work. ❤
OMG Me too!! Haha. It's so funny to watch them (the little creatures) run around in fast motion. So cute!!
i do the same thing too, ketchup016!
Omg I'm the same! 😂😂😂
The whole grid concept is genius.
Yeah I’m using that just cleaning up my kitchen. MUCH less overwhelming.
I left the room and came back just to hear, "I can beat up a moose." Definitely rewinding to see what I missed. Haha
Was losing my mind watching as you missed a spot on the stovetop over and over. Realized there was a speck on my phone screen. I will now nap. 🌻🍄
😂😂😂
Lmao…facts.

Just be careful of any heat coming off the condenser.
Stove = 🤩
Or just wash it
I put plastic wrap on top. My stove is close by so it gets greasy too.
I love how you help people out with cleaning their places. I find it relaxing to see order come from chaos. Your personality makes it all come together and helps me to smile and laugh when that does not come easy. Today, my cat was enthralled with watching Jason run around in the garage lol. Thank you for all that you do for those you help!! Enjoy your weekend.
My cat regularly tries to smack down Jason if I'm watching on my desktop monitor!
I love my oh look more dishes shirt. My favorite place to wear it is to work.... When I'm scheduled as the dish washer 😂😂
I got the magnet for the dishwasher and the coffee tumbler. Love them!
I need some of those. Can you recommend a good one? The ones I’ve had weren’t very good ones. Thanks!
Me too!
My god, that hexagon side table was a staple of every house I knew growing up in the late 70s/early 80s.
The amount of my family members injured by 1 of those, 5 head injuries involving stitches, 7 leg injuries involving stitches..... there's more not sure it's all the tables fault or because we are all accidentpown I never got stitches at my grandparents house pretty lucky out of 13 grandkids
I have two of them and I adore them! My grandma had two touch lamps with the glass petal shades on them and I got those as well. It's so 70s but I love it so much.
That blue bathroom sink was very 70s. Ours was pink.
I used to hide in them 😂
The other day my wife was making plans for Easter dinner, having a few friends over. Said she was making a ham, potatoes, several veggies, and dinner rolls. Asked me if I thought chocolate mousse would be good for dessert.
Told her, "No, just some of those little chocolate bunnies, should be enough."
Chocolate Moose 🫎 are huge. They also make a fuss when you try to eat them 😂
The before and after pictures really say it all. It is so calming to see a space tidied and cleaned. Very motivating

I like how the traffic sounds like formula 1 racecars when they speed up the video. 😂
same 😂
I also like how sometimes it sounds like they're the ones making the noise
Hard to believe how nice that stove looks after you cleaned it! You are not only good--you are real good!!!

I only found your channel about a month ago. And I am addicted to watching them all! You are exactly what I need for moving. I am Handicapped with progressive MS, and I have a caregiver 4days/wk. But I will be moving from my 1244 sq ft Home to a 420 SQ FT Senior apt when my name comes up on a waitlist. My name Just jumped up A bunch, so I am all of a sudden scared that it will happen in a year or less. My caregiver works so hard, taking care of me, dishes, laundry, etc., but there is never time to start going through things/packing. Every day I look around and say oh I just want to group X items, etc. I found an organizing svc but even senior rate is $55/hr. So I think I watch your videos dreaming of a team like you and your son would whip it out In no time and with such common sense of grouping items. I used to be such an organizer! Love your videos. BTW, know of anyone in Half Moon Bay, CA?
There is nothing like waking up at 3 in the morning, clicking on your video and laughing hysterically at your strange but effective humor. Sigh. Love it. I mean who doesn't need a good laugh at 3 a.m.? I was inspired to clean my kitchen tomorrow.
I love that you put up curtains.
She trusts you for your faces, your names and your stellar reputations. Well done. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏼👍🏼🇬🇧
Steel wool comes from metal sheep, ahhh life is finally starting to make sense....😂😂
Who else watches these as their cleaning motivation/ therapy? All hands raise.
I do, Motivation and Inspiration!❤
👍🏼
Since I've been watching your channel I've been doing more deep cleaning of my own around home.
Just wondering how many others have been motivated?
Probably lots!! Me included. Love this channel ❤
There is a neurological reason for that, and it's why I watch others doing anything it is that I want to motivate myself to do: it's called mirror neurons! We are all born with them, that's why kids unconsciously mirror/mimic what adults do. As far as I know we have a tendency to do this all through our lives. It's one way I put TH-cam to work for me, supporting my brain to do what I want.
@@Wayfarer889thank you, that’s really interesting.
I have! It started a couple years ago when I began watching a channel run by a woman who owned a professional cleaning company, then I started watching Auri and MMC. I also watch professional home carpet and floor cleaners. I need a regular stream of cleaning content to keep me motivated, fight against my ADHD mess, my chronic illness, and ever-present desire to lay down 😅
*raises hand* me! Have already gone through my first batch of APC!
As a Taoist I can clearly see benefits to OCD watching y’all clean. It’s just so lovely and thriving when something as truly debilitating to many is in alignment with someone’s values and goals. That’s how come that stove came out so squeaky clean, I imagine. I believe OCD is a spectrum disorder, and we all should have optimal amounts to function, just like anxiety or depression. After all, it was the depressed folks in Ireland who planted all them potatoes ahead of a famine. I’m sure anxiety and OCD played parts too. I have come to embrace and manage my anxiety, and hearing about “optimal amounts” really helped me accept that my level prevents me from risky behaviours, like bungee jumping. God bless and amen. 😂💪🏼🙌🏼🇬🇧
I am SO glad I clicked on this video. That corner riser shelf in the kitchen (25:13) for the flour/sugar canisters ... I live for that stuff. A friend asked me "why do you like things on risers & not just on the counter?" Well, first I dont' have much counter. Second it's practical. Third it's way cool.
Something about this house is making me feel so nostalgic. It's super cozy. I grew up in The Midwest in the 80's.
Me too
During covid when we couldn't find hand sanitizer or alcohol, someone suggested going to an auto paint place. I went there and got a gallon that was almost pure, so I just had to water it down a little bit to get to 70%. It was so much cheaper!
This garage is SO nicely finished. And, now with better use capacity. You all did awesome work!
I love watching your videos because every time I do, it encourages me to tackle one more spot in my house. This video encouraged me to deep clean the kitchen sink and under the sink and get everything organized under there.
SAME!
If your grand baby's first words are "moose face", your DIL just might throttle you. 🤣🤣🤣
What if baby's first words are "suck it"? 😂😂😂😂
I see you bought yourself some better fitting pants. Better scenery!
Is there any way to clean a really burned on glass cooktop?
I decided to watch your spin kick this house into a super clean moose house, early. lol! I know she couldn’t wait to come back to a gorgeous home with spring around the corner.
Your intricate design with how you manage all your clients houses with just the right color (windows, etc) is so refreshing to me! Jason, btw, is getting super good with declutterring or organizing.
Way to go y’all and see ya in the next video! 😊
You are a blessing to all the people you help. Also thank you for all your advice.
There is something so relaxing about taking a break and watching you guys make order from chaos.
When you do the filming in real time it always throws me because I’ve become so used to the speed ups!
Love how u two work together
It's great that not only you help them by cleaning but organizing in a way that makes sense to be very useful for anyone. 😊
My moose Bullwinkle got a big kick out of your moose reference! He even did his moose laugh. People come from miles away just to hear his moose laugh. Great job, guys! 🫎
Recently stumbled across your vlogs and I have to say a huge thank you. I have now watched many video's and subscribed. I have been very depressed, I lost my Mom to cancer, my Dad to Dementia and had previously lost my daughter to depression. I use to love cleaning and organizing with my ocd I organize....lol. After my Dad passing I just gave up but watching your passion also for cleaning I have started again and the sense of pleasure and accomplishment has returned plus I tried your APC recipe and love the results. Thank you very much again, I am now once again in a clean and sanitary home. 😊
I love to see your videos helping folks. Al Blades videos are him helping folks with bad yards. Dumpster diving momma of 2 videos are het helping multiple refuges and mental health facilities. So many TH-camrs doing stuff for free to help others. Its wonderful and does my heart good to watch xx
I love not only the comedic commentary of course, but the tips on cleaning and organizing as you go. Also the information and tips on the mental space and even mental health. Thank you for this and your compassion.
Omg. I’m loving that work bench. Has been properly worked. And can be again after y’all are through. God bless and amen. 💪🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🇬🇧
Another great job you guys! I bet this lady is beyond grateful!,
“Steel wool comes from metal sheep”. FINALLY,a sensible explanation!
Adrian knocked it out of the park with that moose face 😂😂😂 great work as always by the whole MMC team.
You are a powerhouse!!! And you are so funny too!! Thank you BOTH for the hard work you do….and for free!!….you are what’s good in the world!!!
I love that you guys are so systematic. It makes watching these videos so freaking satisfying! Thanks for helping these people who struggle with organization.
I am here for the commentary. He cracks me up. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!!!!
love your channel....thank you for taking time to do this and for blessing others. love you integrity too!
This is a beautiful old house. I love the vintage blue sink and bathtub 🛁. You did a great job with the garage too
You and your son are amazing. Thanks for doing this and helping others. ❤️
What you did for their stove top is amazing! I never thought of using oven cleaner on the outside. I don't need to, but I never thought of it. Wow. I bet she was thrilled!
“I’m not censoring it” TOOK ME ALL THE WAY OUT. THE WAY I LOVE YOU AND YOUR CHANNEL 😂
And it was super tight!
Moose. Speedos. "Wood". 😆 🤣 😂 never a dull moment.
The narration in these vids are top tier 🤌🤌🤌
“The point is, I can beat up a moose”. 😂😂😂. You’ve been such a help and inspiration as I work to clear and clean pockets of our house. Your cheerful voice lifts my spirits so much! ❤
This was a great video! It’s always a pleasure to watch you, Jason and your daughter, restore order and cleanliness from chaos! I love your moderation and occasional silliness! Thank you
What a kind service to do. What a relief for that woman to have a kitchen cleaned for her daughters visit. She must have been so grateful...I certainly would have been.
I guess because the garage walls are finished, when the video first started I thought you were in a living room and when you said this isn’t a hoarding issue I said (out loud) “Not a hoarding issue?!?! There’s a motorcycle in the living room!!!!”. I was way confused. Love your videos!!!!!❤❤❤
I’m sure you get thanked all the time. but wow, I did want to thank you if there was only more people like you in this world. I about cry after each video. I used to be such a neat freak and it irritated everybody, but no longer and I can’t seem to get myself out of it and I just look around and I can’t do it.. just knowing there are people around in this world like you it’s pretty awesome.
This was so helpful for this family. They can now have a nice visit with their daughter and not have to wear themselves out beforehand. It is so nice that you might come back and help with landscaping. I like when you do something extra because you know how and it helps the people so much.. Such as in the home with soot... you painted, repaired walls and fixed some plumbing. That was awesome. Good for Jason to learn from you. I didn't have patience to learn from my parents when I had the opportunity.
Wow you have lots of patience n kindness. Stove is as good as new.
Ohhh I want to try film myself and make a video just for me of cleaning my entire house. You have given me inspiration. My Daughter is coming home for a visit after 5 years of being away. And she's bringing home my toddler Grandchildren. They are staying in my house and my Dad is too old to really do everyday cleaning so I really need to do major cleaning especially since we have pets in our home too. Your humor adds a smile to my day. Thank you.
INCREDIBLE MACK‼️‼️ Gotta say something here… Jason is truly a terrific son! He impresses me that he’s with you on all these videos working his Fanny 🤪 off. And CONGRATULATIONS to him on his coming baby!!!
Can’t leave the handsome silly GRANDPA out in thise CONGRATULATIONS either!
I’m sure your entire family is crazy happy with this next generation coming! I was when mine began… then when the Greats started??? Holy shit!!! Made me feel older than dirt!! Then I met those beautiful little people!!! Having my children was the most rewarding and joyful thing of my life!!! Truly! When the Grands started coming and now into their 20s? The youngest one will be 18 in September, still close enough to the 20s… But these awesome people have made my like than I EVER dreamed possible!!! Of course the 2 youngest I practically raised and are in a super special category, but they are the true lights of my life. Mack, you’re fixing to find out that the new generation is gonna turn you into a big pile of MUSH!!! ❤❤❤ I never would’ve thought that possible in my life, but you’ll soon see. I already heard your amazed and delighted joy on the announcement vid… these new little people are gonna ROCK YOUR WORLD like it’s never been rocked!
I look forward to every one of your delightful, informative and inspiring videos… keep them coming!
Also want to congratulate you AND… Emily in yalls new and fancy ( said Mack style) rides! Sounds like y’all have worked hard and been through enough to deserve and appreciate them!! Good on both y’all!!!
I keep Emily’s health and yalls strength in my prayers as well.
Mentioned in one of my back messages that I had lived in Rantoul, Il so u have a clue about your town/area… seems almost as if Illinois has more land than even Texas! But y’all are in an agricultural area, we just don’t do stuff with this land. A lot of it isn’t fit to live on or fit any kind of use… so that’s why there’s so much more land here… 🤪🙄
Love y’all and take care. Gonna finish watching this video..
Love how little rubber ducks show up in cleaning videos 😂
Somebody should make a compilation 😂
Great job as always! God bless for helping this homeowner ❤❤
Oh I can feel the JOY she will have having a space for her CAR! 🙌🏼😁🇬🇧
And that little sitting space area he created 😊 I always like to imagine how happy the face of the homeowner is too. I can just imagine the joy that'll last a few days too. 😊❤
Your cabinets shine like the smile of the moose 🫎! Love ❤️ your work!
You are the king of clean up -rock on and on!
And I love Adrienne’s new moose and green beans designs!! She’s talented. ❤️
Excellent cleaning/organizing video! Worth the wait 👏
Those cabinets are shining! It must have been a great feeling for the owner to see this transformation before having her visit.
You and Jason do a good job I love the job you did on the stove! Keep up the good work
I love the way you tackle stuff like this. It makes so much sense to me.
Thanks for the upload, my stress level goes right down as soon as I start watching. Love your sense of humour.
Hey there... I've been watching your "Working with Autism" video after I watched this one. I cried thru a lot of it because you put a voice to so many thoughts and feelings I have and about how I function. It's the first time I've ever heard my own words vocalized in a way that might help others understand me. This means so much... Just to be understood. Thank you for being who you are. I'm not religious, but just know that you and your family are a blessing to this world.
Such a great organizing video!! You made a usable garage! I am in love with my SOS pads. They get the crud off. Your scrapping and cleaning methods are fantastic! I also love that when you are done the people can find all of there stuff, and it is all organized. It bugs me when someone "cleans" and really just throws everything away. That is a cop out. Then the people have to get new stuff and it is not organized. If they can keep it like you do it, it will stay, and you have really helped them! Have a great week!
What a pretty blue sink! Her house looks so cozy and inviting now! ❤
Your bad jokes followed by "Hi-Yohhh!" get me every time! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😂😂😂😂😂 I have caught myself doing that at home with my kids now. 😂
Your daughter is a very talented artist. Happy you have her on your team. Loving the expiration date on them green beans. 💪🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏼🇬🇧
I forgot that Old English was also a furniture polish, for a second I thought you meant the beer. 😂
I like how you equate hoarding and clutter to possible neurological conditions. I know you are not trained in psychology but us neurodiverse types tend to recognise these traits in others. I am (undiagnosed) but quite obviously autistic and I've come to believe that I might possibly have OCD too. I can notice a direct link between my mental health and the condition of my home. When I am ignoring my problems/ worries, the clutter builds. Then when I start to sort through the physical mess I simultaneously sort through the mess that ia my mind! I am currently in a sorting stage after 2-3 months of apathy and avoidance. You do amazing work!
Awesome job!! Great to see you back doing your thing!!🎉❤🎉
Your Daughter is very talented. 😊
I use angled crevice brushes for a lot of my cleaning. They easily get into those stove ridges and corners.
My cleaning Angel. Your New Moose Mech. gave me a good laugh. Your daughter is talented for sure.
As usual, you have done a fabulous job for this lady with her Garage Kitchen and Bathroom
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Your are the best 🌞
That Mr. Clean freak is AMAZING!!!! I knew nothing about it until I started watching your videos. I chose the one with the laundry scent in it and OMG, I am in LOVE!
Hello you two are miracle workers you left that family a new home and a bew stove I learn so much from you!!
