      Love your cleanmyspace.
      My concern is about the oils lavender and the T tree oil.
      I read where it said not to use these oils around animals. They can cause bronchitis or even death. Please check into that.

      Melissa, let your web manager know that when clicking on the "buy now" button for the pro kit, it leads to the small space kit. Love your videos! I have been making my home cleaning products for years thanks to you and essential oils. Smells so much better than bleach and Clorox wipes.

      steel wool "pot mits" as they used to be called (not mitts to hold hot pot handles) have been around since my grandmother at least. Great especially for cleaning bottom outside of pots and pans. Problem is they quickly rust after wet. Suggest, if using big one as shown in this video, to cut them into usable sizes, use bit by bit, dispose of straight away because they discolor everything, like sponges stored with them, or washing-up water. If someone could invent a rust-proof one they would sell very well I think. Great to discover your channel Melissa!

    Here in Kenya, Africa it is a staple to have steel wool in the house. We use it for pots and pansade of aluminum or stainless steel. It does not damage them at all. We use it for scrubbing bathroom tiles, for removing rust, for cleaning the bottom of your iron if you have burnt sth, scrubing your sink and bathtub, it basically replaces a lot of your scrubies in the house and it comes in the size you shows in the video for 5cents or a huge massive roll that you just cut with scissors as needed for about a dollar or so which last forever.

    I love the Tubshroom! There are four females in our home with tons of hair and the showers were always closing. For the past year or so we’ve had the Tubshroom in our showers and it catches hair, is easy to remove every few days, and the shower stays unclogged for a long time.

    @ltellis63 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    We have been using the Tub Shroom for a couple of years and I love it! My daughter and I both have long hair and this keeps us from having to clear the tub drain or de-clogging. Also a big YES to a video on extra fine steel wool and its uses, please. Thanks!!

    Ohhhhh dear, that bottle brush had me laughing so much!! When you held it up, it was an exact for a disabled aid which used to be sold by a company I worked for YEARS ago, it was called the bottom wiper (I kid you not!) the toilet paper fits and is held on to the end, I've never tried it, but I can imagine it's a brilliant help!

    I saw a previous video where you mentioned your family does not wear shoes in the house. We, too, have a no shoes rule. We are currently moving into a larger home where we can have guests visit. My husband is not a huge fan of taking his shoes off. He does it for me. His friends and family also never take their shoes off in their homes. How do you have guests over (especially if they are in/out of the backyard) and expect them to not contaminate your floors/rugs?

    I don't always buy things that are recommended, but I thought the "Blade Brush" was a good idea so, I bought one. I love the thing! It cleans the blade of the knife well - even after cutting something like cheese! My knives and I both thank you for this recommendation. 👍😊

    I got some essential oils, but I've stopped using them since I found out they can be really harmul and toxic for cats, especially lemon and tea tree. I know you use those anyway, despite having a cat. Have you done research on that?

    • @Romans828girl
      @Romans828girl 5 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Luyben86, I did a lot of research, because I wanted to use essential oils to boost my mood and energy, but I have three cats. I compared the lists on several different websites and came up with oils that would be beneficial to me but are not listed as toxic to cats. They are Angelica, Bergamot, Black Pepper, Cedarwood, Frankincense, Ginger, Lavender, Lemongrass, and Orange. If you think essential oils would be good for you, you might want to do some comparative reading like I did, to come up with oils that will help you but not harm your furbabies.

    • @ELCinWYO
      @ELCinWYO 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      You don't have to stop, you either have to learn to use them so you don't endanger your pet or learn to use substitutes. There are multiple oils for each use.

    Hey Melissa, I noticed that you're using a compost bag with your compost container, and wanted to let you know that you should find out if your municipality accepts those. I'm bringing it up because I'm also from the GTA and learned not too long ago that my city actually recommends not using biodegradable bags for the compost bin.

    My fav is the machine washable long reach flexible duster. Great for cleaning under the washer/dryer, dishwasher and esp the fridge. Don’t think I got mine from Amazon, but they have them there. I’ve had mind for 10 years, easily.

  • @lauriedolly8566
    @lauriedolly8566 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I don't do my own compost anymore but do save for the local garbage/scavenger. I put the scraps in the green bio bags then store in the freezer. I keep filling until up to the top then store them until garbage day. Goes out the night before or morning of pickup. Since contents are frozen the bag won't break (i had that happen storing in the refrigerator). If you have a secondary freezer in the garage or basement you can wait until you have many to put out with the garbage in the green bin. This is what I do with meat/bones too. Once a chicken is boned I put the bones and skin in a plastic bag, store in the freezer, then it goes out frozen into the garbage can. Seriously reduces the smell situation.

  • @kayceec43
    @kayceec43 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Seriously, the tub shroom is the best thing ever. I've tried other stuff that just end up covering the drain and not letting the water drain out properly or just don't work. And I absolutely HATE trying to get stuff out of the drain. It's gross and goopy and nasty. My husband kept getting mad at me for clogging the drain all the time with my long hair and would refuse to clean it out sometimes. So I found that product on TH-cam and it seemed to have good reviews. I'm so happy cause it works!

    • @robinholbrook6576
      @robinholbrook6576 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Angie D Well, let’s see if I can help! I hate plastic! But wicker, straw, and fabric will absorb odors from soiled clothing. Wicker and straw and metal often have bits that are sharp and can snag on lingerie or other knits. Therefore, I use plastic laundry baskets by default not so much by choice. I don’t want added work of having to wash my laundry baskets so I don’t use fabric ones! I have enough work! Lol

I ended up slicing my hand, middle of the palm, right down the middle. apparently i didn't have enough wash cloth between my hand and the knife. may be not exactly in the middle, but starting between the thumb and the pointer finger, going to the middle of my palm.

    @luhall6092 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I was really hoping that it was a tool for cleaning the rim of a front-load washer! Last time I cleaned it, I got a microfiber cloth jammed in there and had to get hubby to help me get it out. Now here is a problem that definitely needs solving! Do you think this bottle cleaner would work for this?
    I’ve had a tub shroom for a couple of years now and it’s the best! Definitely solves the problem. I also love brushes for all kinds of cleaning jobs. I keep one in my dishwasher and use it to scrub things that might stick in the dishwasher (eggs, oatmeal, etc.) It lives in the dishwasher so that it always gets a good cleaning and doesn’t sit on the counter/sink and get gross.

  • @livelaughlove000
    @livelaughlove000 5 ปีที่แล้ว +36

    I would just advise that you are careful with all those essential oils Melissa because they are toxic to cats. Cats lack an essential enzyme in their liver and as such have difficulty metabolizing and eliminating certain toxins like essential oils. Cats are also very sensitive to phenols and phenolic compounds, which can be found in some essential oils. The higher the concentration of the essential oil (i.e. 100%), the greater the risk to the cat.

      YUP! Especially in misters! The oil is deposited on their fur and then they ingest it! I had to toss all my diffusers!

    Thanks for sharing your Amazon necessary cleaning mini-haul. I agree with you, I see so many "hauls" of unnecessary plastic "stuff" that I'm sure ends up in landfills from the Dollar Tree. Less is more in my opinion. Less to clean and toss that is.

    Yes please on the video for steel wool!! I've used it on my kitchen sink before and it worked like a dream on some rust that had developed under a can that had been sitting for a while. I didn't know you could use it elsewhere though, I figured it would scratch. Would love some insight!

    I'm not a big fan of dusting so I have been storing small rags around the areas I frequent like in my bedside table drawer and at my desk, so throughout the day I can grab a piece of cloth and give the area a quick wipe just to cut down on how much dusting I need to do. The mini cloths would be perfect for that :)

    I agree with your take on hauls too. In a nosey way I kinda like watching them but I know its irresponsible for a TH-camr to do things that can inspire other people to haul. You made a distinction: you said to make sure a product is for a problem you actually have...and that is very true. But I think another equally important question to ask yourself is if you already have what you need to solve the problem. There is a new makeup remover on the market. They say it melts on contact to get everything just so...looks like coconut oil to me! You may be sitting on the active ingredient to a "new" product the whole time, or a pantry staple that doubles as a cleaning, first aid, cosmetic, or toiletry item...and it's usually safer and cheaper to use, and better for the environment .

    • @cherylrevell3081
      @cherylrevell3081 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      So true about that "active ingredient". A long time ago one hack to getting blue pen ink off clothes was to use hairspray. Turned out it was the alcohol in the hairspray that did it. So, why would you use expensive hairspray when you already have alcohol available. Same goes for the "Tide Stick" and "non-chlorine bleach". I use hydrogen peroxide to handle all food type stains with 100% success and I read the ingredients on the bottle of non-chlorine all color bleach and..... it's water and (hahaha), hydrogen peroxide. Won't be buying that anymore, and Mellisa has ALL the tips on using hydrogen peroxide! BAM! So, watch out for all those gimmic-like products!

      @@cherylrevell3081 yes indeed these are all good examples of what I'm talking about? I also love Castile soap. MM does a great job covering it on this channel but I mean really. You can use it for almost everything. There are some times when I don't but that's usually a cost consideration or a rare instance when the chemistry of soap doe not jive with what's going on. For example every now and then I give the kitchen floors vinegar rinse to cut the crud on the surface and to deodorize the air. Not compatible with true soap! So I either skip it in favor of dish soap, a tiny bit of laundry detergent, even a dot of shampoo will work etc...whatever I have around that is NOT soap? When you know your products it doesn't surprise you that all these detergents are basically the same.
      Anyway thanks for the amen!

      I understand and agree with what you're saying, but on that specific example, coconut oil is terrible for your skin. The molecules are too big to be absorbed by your skin, so it's very comedogenic. If it doesn't break you out, you likely have pretty good skin to begin with.
