So true!!! As a home-maker, I abhor glass tables. Dangerous, un-cozy, and - thanks for drawing attention to it, I never have noticed before - giving a cluttered look.

As a former cleaner I have one more for you: Dyson vacuum cleaner. I used to clean in high end households and had the opportunity to vacuum with all models of this Brand and I have to say: I hate them all. I recommend Miele.
I only use a Dyson once when cleaning someone's, and I was blown away at how useless it was and for the expensive price it's a piece of 💩. I own a miele, have had it for over ten years and it still works great.
Dysons are sh*te on American carpets - but then American carpets are also sh*te, so ... They are excellent vacuums for pretty much all other uses. Fine on British carpets, hard floors, furniture, etc.
@@KrisHughes I used to clean in Switzerland on the Goldcoast, it's mostly hard floors in these households. Dysons are a really bad choice if you're looking for a vacuum cleaner. If you don't have the budget for a Miele, try Phillips.
I agree on all especially the sinks. The other thing I would is blinds. No matter what type such a pain. They collect so much dust. I prefer a sheer curtain that I can throw in the wash.
That depends on where you live. When I was in SoCal, dust was just a fact of life. I would spend hours every week just dusting and still couldn't keep up. Now that I live in Florida, I rarely have to dust. Having rain several times a week really keeps the dust at bay!
I have an under mount bathroom sink and HATE it but I liked the cabinet and it was all one set and couldn’t choose a different top. The worst thing about it is the red funk gets stuck up under the rim and I have to use a toothbrush to clean it but yet you can’t get into the corners with a regular toothbrush. I’ve had to order small bottle brushes to get in those corners and same thing with the stupid spa tub that my husband just had to have. I knew I would be the one to clean the damn thing. It’s a female fungal infection waiting to happen.

@@jnova3328 just a curtain with a heavy duty plastic liner that you can wash. if you want glass get the kind that is opaque and has a wavy design in it. the best fixture color that is the most durable is regular shiny chrome. the bronzy stuff flakes off almost immediately and hard water shows right away. i haven't dealt with gold yet but i would think it the same as the bronzy stuff.
Tiny Knick knacks! I used to collect tiny Knick knacks and display them. Then one day, I and my partner were hired to clean a house that was full of knick knacks - when I say full of them, I mean she literally had over a hundred of them. I never collected or displayed stuff like that ever again.

@@OgdenM My condo's small enough to clean myself, but I have two girlfriends whose cleaning-ladies "fired" them for not putting basic stuff away before they arrived to clean. I'm still laughing! (No way I could clean a room properly if there's still stuff left everywhere!).
I've read some comments and have one more item to add: large, jacuzzi tubs. Nobody ever uses them and then, you still have to at least dust them so the homeowner has a sparkly clean tub. As a short woman, I need to nearly climb into the thing to "clean" it!
I’m tall, and I DO use it as a normal tub (faucet high enough to wash my hair also, unlike regular tub). Frankly I prefer the “naughty” or “swimsuit” attire to clean any bathing unit. Jacuzzis are a pain to clean no matter what. Especially those jets. Yuck. Doesn’t matter that you don’t use them - they mold quickly.
One of my clients who has a jetted tub bought a product called "Oh yuck" for me to use to clean the jets. I scrub that tub every two weeks, but there is always water in the pump and lines. What shot out of those jets when I filled the tub and added the product was horrifying. Dark gray and greasy. I will never own a jetted tub.
I agree with all and would add that a hand held steam cleaner can blast grime out of sink corners, and from between close-set faucets. I am surprised more people don’t use steam .
I love undermount sinks. If you spill anything on the counter you can easily wipe it into the sink. It never occurred to me that anyone would wipe a sink like that.
@@melodypaz7247 Glass tables are indeed beautiful for displaying precious items - bless your grandma :) But if you don't want to clean your table every day because of immediate collection of visible dust particles, streaks and fingerprints, this furniture isn't for you 😉 Glad to hear that your grandma didn't have a problem with that :)
I have been a professional cleaner for over 25 years. Before I even saw your first household worst item to clean - ‘the dreaded sink’ that has also been on the top of my list of difficult cleaning experiences. Might I also add to the house hard-to-clean items - brushed stainless steel sinks and brushed stainless steel and black polished plastic kitchen stoves. Thin grout lines between showers are not a favourite either.
We have every single one of the items you mentioned and I would never pick them again except the undermounted sink. I don't really have an issue it but would 100% agree with you on the rest. I wish I had watched this before we built!
This is why we need more female engineers. Every time I look at something, I judge it by how hard it would be to clean. Men never think of this. How about free standing tubs? Who is cleaning under and behind them? I hate 6 panel doors. That's TWELVE horizontal surfaces on every door that need to be dusted (top & bottom of every panel). Grout is the enemy! All tiles in high dirt applications should be large and rectified (straight cut edges, not rounded).
So true - we need more women engineers! People who design kitchens have never cleaned them (or even cooked in them), and bathrooms are another nightmare. Don't even get me started on clothing and bras...
Lame. People, men or women, buy off of appearance, fashion trends, and 'getting a deal'. Preferentially buying cars difficult to repair, appliances impossible to repair, etc.
Thanks. I won’t be getting that bottom mounted sink in my bathroom and I won’t be getting the glass shower doors either for my bathroom remodel. Just a shower curtain I can throw in the washer!
The developer put the stupid flat bottom sinks and square edged mouldings into my place and, agree x1000000, they are a total pita to keep clean. To this list I'd add Shaker style cabinet and closet doors which also collect dust like nobody's business - and in the case of the ones the developer installed in my place - the corners need to be meticulously cleaned with a cotton swab or toothbrush. No amount of vacuuming or wiping with a cloth will get the corner grime out. I hate them with a passion.
Our fluffy rugs went in the trash. We even bought a new vacuum just to get them clean, didn't matter. It was a workout trying to force a vacuum across those things. They were a huge source of dust. They looked clean but as someone with a severe dust allergy, I am a dust detector. I can immediately feel it. Huge mistake buying them for our kids.
I worked for a cleaning company for a summer in college and I HATE FLUFFY RUGS. Also it made me realize I don't want a huge house. Most people use the same few rooms (living room, bedroom, main bathroom, kitchen) and everything else gathers dust.
Yes! Unless you can afford a regular housekeeper, large houses are a pain. Also, in many upscale homes, the living room and dining room barely ever get used, except for occasional company.
I'm so glady mom taught me to imagine cleaning something before I leave it out. I have old furbies displayed that I love, but their fluff gets dusty. It's hard to clean but the way they make me feel is worth the time. They're small enough. I can't imagine having the motivation to wash a giant fluffy rug. I like the look, but not enough to outweigh the hassle.
A fairly regular brisk brush with a quality clothes brush will make a quick job of smaller fabric items, like stuffed toys. That may be a forgotten tool for some, but I use it often on fabric lounge surfaces, especially the squishy ones. A lot quicker and ergonomically easier than wresting with a vacuum cleaner.
I got rid of decorative rugs I had in front of my kitchen sink and stove, inside the apartment door, and a hallway runner. Not only were they trip hazards in my old age, but it is so much easier to sweep and clean the floor without shuffling them around.
And they're dust and dirt collectors. I grew up in a house with runners, carpets etc and when I married I moved to an apartment with terrazo floors (hot climate). When I see the dust that accumulates in a single week, and I remember the rugs...ugh.
I really wanted a black rug. It looked gorgeous in my room with a splash of red, white and gray. Dog hair, my hair were embedded into the fibers, not to mention the actual dust and other dirt. Couldn't hoover them out. Bought a handheld hair collector... Looked good after a good session but took me an hour. After two years I cleaned it one last time, rolled it up and donated it. No rug in my room since then.
undermount all the way. overcount get nasty on the edges plus you cant wipe water into the sink. theyre an eye sore too like an above ground pool vs in ground.
I never thought about sinks like this before. I am preparing to buy a place so please keep sharing, this helps make my list of what I want to don't want. Of course things can be replaced, bit if I can find the perfect (or closer too perfect) home all the better
Yes! I used to clean houses, these are all a pain. For me personally I would also add glass shower doors, and gas stoves, and white cabinets that have a weird finish to them because the finger prints never cease to exist. I also keep all clutter off my counter spaces.
I have a flat bottom kitchen sink. The sharp angles require a bit of extra attention when cleaning, but it's not that bad. I don't see what's bad about bathroom under mount sinks. Any difficulty you have getting things out would be offset by the inability to wipe thinds on the counter into the sink. If it's the counter overhanging the sink that's the problem, cut the countertop so it's flush with the sink.
Whoever designed my apartment has clearly never cleaned their own house as a lot these things are currently driving me mad. I feel like the square baseboards are also extra fun when cheap sticky paint is used.
When i remodeled my bathroom i bought a sloped, under-mount sink but had it mounted top side because it looked better and wasn’t a deep edge crevice i foresaw as gross when dirty. Contractor was so confused.
OMG I have all of that. My kitchen sink is restaurant 72”. No changing that, but you are absolutely correct. It is so hard to rinse out. I must give credit, when my cleaning lady finishes it looks brand new. I will not buy more of the fluffy rugs! I told her to not struggle with them. I take them to a commercial laundry.
I have two hand towels hanging at my master bathroom sink. One for me face, hands, making a second pass drying armpits before deodorant, and a second towel for drying the mirror, countertop, faucet hardware, and basin (in that order) when I’m finished. It takes 10 seconds, looks hotel clean (a misnomer) and never needs a deep cleaning.
@@georgiafrye2815 It works the opposite where I am. White has always been the cheapest, and what they call stainless steel, isn't. It's just some type of metalic paint. Every appliance I have ever bought is white. White is nice, and always looks good, regardless of what the marketers want to pedal.
I have the baseboards throughout the house and flat bottom sink in the kitchen. I keep a 4 inch squeegee to get water to go toward and into drain. I was considering a steam cleaning gun to get corners in baseboards. Brushes still do not get all dirt out. I have used q tips, and even thought of putting a drop of paint in the corners, but I don’t think I could pull it off.
My bff cleans houses. And she uses newspaper to clean baseboards. She wads up the newspaper and then drags it along the baseboards, while crawling along. Crushed up newspaper might just be the thing to get into those corners. Good luck!
Massive custom floor-to-ceiling window curtains for these rooms with 20+ foot vaulted ceilings. Is anyone seriously rolling up a 20 foot ladder every couple of weeks to clean these things?? 😳 Because with even just 1 pet, they’ll be covered in hair in 3 days flat!
As a cleaner I agree with everything except for the flat square baseboards… idk I find them way easier to clean and maintain. Can’t stand a bunch of grooves in wood for dirt to compact in. Also, the #1 thing I will not have in my home is… blinds! And other things are: - penny tile, white grout, stone walls, fake plants especially on top of cabinets (SO dusty), the list goes on honestly lol. Love these videos, super validating my everyday struggles as a cleaner hahaha.
I would add marble to that list. It's beautiful but impossible to clean without damaging the marble. Especially in showers. I have a house cleaning business and that's the one thing i hate the most because it takes so much extra effort to try to clean it.
I completely agree with this video about square cornered, flat bottomed sinks, but think it’s wrong about the under mount sink, and I’ll tell you why: People tend to splash water on the counter when washing their face. The easiest way to remove it is when you have an under-mount sink: you can simply sweep the water right off the counter into the sink - which you cannot do with a rimmed sink. So unless you’re exceptionally neat - or are fine keeping a sponge nearby or getting your towels soaking wet, I think the under-mount is by far the better choice.
I have an undermount bathroom sink that I love, for the reasons you mention, BUT the sink really doesn't overlap the edge by much and there's caulking around that edge so there isn't any icky hidden groove under there (maybe those bad undermounts weren't fit correctly?)
@@Jen.O l agree with you both. If l knew more about sinks (pre-TH-cam era), l would have absolutely chosen an undermount sink for my not-fancy kitchen, as the bits and bobs from the countertop gets lodged under the edges and a fuss to remove.
Thanks, this was helpful. I'm renting an apartment right now with the exact flat bottom sink that you show first, the bathroom sink, and everything you say here is true. It clogged within 2 months of moving in and I don't like the edges or walls either.
I too clean and there are so many things I dread cleaning in peoples homes , bathroom lavatories that the hot and cold faucets have no room to clean in between the handles and the spout , jacuzzi bathtubs are horrible because you have to get in them to clean them and around them , tubs inside a shower room , claw foot tubs , the shower drain that is a long piece of metal you have to pull up to clean hair out of . If people had to clean them they wouldn't have any of them. I agree on all the things you mentioned. 😊oh one more thing farm house sinks , they limit what you can do because if you are washing dishes but then need to drain pasta you have to let your dishwater out.
I love my large single sink,I use a dishpan for washing dishes but to be able to wash large roasting pans and cookie sheets without getting soaked is a game changer!
I totally agree you! I wouldn't have any of those things in my house if I could help it. I do have the bottom mounted sink and I don't really like it, but I don't hate it either.
Also if you're remodelling your bathroom - no glass screens or doors - the new look open stall is by far the easiest to clean. Also don't put the shower heads so high you have to get a stool every time you clean them. Minimal or no moldings, trims or fancy bits. All the little grooves in anything eventually get soap scum, mold, or built up mineral deposits. All flat surfaces are best.
Philodendrons and similar plants strung clear across a room (or up the wall) on string. Those flat leaves collect so much dust and then someone has clean them. My very first client was always complaining about her allergies. I spent half of my first cleaning session in her house wiping plant leaves with a wet cloth and her husband laughed at me till i showedhim the black streaks on the dusters. The next week her allergies were "so much better!"
Very well done video. Would like a vidoe on things to have for easy to clean. In Korea they have the best sinks, with 12 cm deep metal strainer baskets, they continue to drain even with a lot of junk in them. that can be lifted out and dumped easily. Please add to the list of hard to clean Under mount Kitchen sink with wood counter tops. Hanging openshelving in a kitchen, especially when they shelves have to be used for storage.
I live alone and I have the squared kitchen sink, it's beauty is worth the extra effort. But, buy the best gauge stainless steel, like .16 or .18, brushed finished. I've lived with it for just over a year. I have a detachable sprayer hose faucet to help with moving schmutz.
The rugs have to be shaken at every angle to get rid of stuff, like when you vacuum, you have to vacuum in different directions to get the carpet really clean.
On the long nap rugs, the only thing I could do was get on hand and knees and use the vacuum hose to do a couple square inches at a time. Totally useless. Arrrgh!!!
Learning the hard way on those fluffy rugs. Everything you said is a 100% true. The vacuum eats them up and things get stuck. Having to replace them now.
Yes those things died a painful death back in the 70s. They were all purple or poison green then. I'm surprised to see them back and admit to a bit of schadenfreude when I hear these stories.
ANY WINDOWS THAT REQUIRE A LADDER FOR WINDOW-WASHING, INSIDE OR OUT. Stupid architects/house-designers have obviously never washed a window in their life. Those windows that come to a point 30 feet from the floor? Flies LOVE them. Prepare for sticker-shock when you get an estimate from a professional window-washer. (And nothing says Clean House! like freshly washed windows.)
TEACH YOUR KIDS: While still sitting in the bathtub AS IT DRAINS, wet a washcloth and add some shampoo. Starting at the top (well, duh), clean the bathtub with the washcloth, splashing tub water on the sides to remove shampoo residue. When the tub is drained, run the tap briefly to give a final rinse (and rinse yourself in the shower). A CLEAN BATHTUB, after EVERY use. Never any need to SCRUB with Bar Keeper's Friend. TEACH YOUR KIDS: After you poop and flush, if you don't like what you see, CLEAN THE TOILET IMMEDIATELY! (And that includes if you don't like what you see under to toilet seat. Check it!) Nobody taught me this when I was a kid 60-odd years ago. Why, damn it?? It's obvious. I am ashamed how long it took me to figure it out. It aggravates me that it seems as if I am the only one who does this. It's simple decency.
Regarding square-edge moldings: What do you mean by "traditional" moldings? I just now looked at "floor moldings" in Home Depot. They showed the silhouette of cross sections. Stupid frou-frou. Perhaps the best choice is a square molding with a simple quarter-round resting on top. No flat top-surface and no frou-frou.
A kitchen is a laboratory and should be designed as such. Think: restaurant kitchen. Cooking meals is already enough work. Why add decorative frou-frou that requires additional work to clean it? I once suffered the stupid design of a Reagan-80's frou-frou kitchen. Ultra-decorative "country cottage" kitchens, with lots of frou-frou woodwork, were a thing back then. I hated that kitchen.
Some more (as a house cleaner myself) Living metal fixtures. - they tarnish really fast and you have to use a special polish on them and it takes forever to polish. Stainless Steel appliances - various oils polishs them but they are so annoying to keep looking good. Tile counter tops.... No explanation needed hopefully. Someone else mentioned this, glass showers. They require at least a squeegee every time you use them or you quickly end up with buildup that is hard to remove. Showers without a handheld shower head. - they make it easier to keep the shower clean. Cheap paint - it makes it impossible to clean walls and cabinets because it just wipes off. A refinished tub - it's gonna peel and be a mess. You also can't use any abrasive cleaner on them which makes it near impossible to clean.
Stainless steel! Stainless my ass- you look at it and its filthy! On the other hand those new stainless steel "fingerprint resistant" appliances DO work.
Everything all of you say and the biggest issue at least for me is too much stuff. I'm not a house cleaner but someone who struggles to keep her home clean.
im sorry but shower curtains are nasty unless you wash them every other day. top mount sinks are gross as they collect that grime on the lip, have fun with a toothpick cleaning it and you cant wipe into the sink and rinse it off plus top mount sinks are an eye sore.

Yes. I have to get into the bathtub, wash the sides, and then my way out so I can hang over the side to wipe the rest if the bottom.
I’m tall, and I DO use it as a normal tub (faucet high enough to wash my hair also, unlike regular tub). Frankly I prefer the “naughty” or “swimsuit” attire to clean any bathing unit. Jacuzzis are a pain to clean no matter what. Especially those jets. Yuck. Doesn’t matter that you don’t use them - they mold quickly.
Yes! They're such a waste of money. I think I've actually had to clean a used jacuzzi once. Most just had dust.
One of my clients who has a jetted tub bought a product called "Oh yuck" for me to use to clean the jets. I scrub that tub every two weeks, but there is always water in the pump and lines. What shot out of those jets when I filled the tub and added the product was horrifying. Dark gray and greasy. I will never own a jetted tub.
I have a client with one that actually uses it...
I'm happy for them. I have never understood why people don't.
I agree with all and would add that a hand held steam cleaner can blast grime out of sink corners, and from between close-set faucets. I am surprised more people don’t use steam .
High PIA factor. 🤷
And toilet seat screws but now I have the ones that remove completely.
I love undermount sinks. If you spill anything on the counter you can easily wipe it into the sink. It never occurred to me that anyone would wipe a sink like that.
Right, I'm always wiping INTO the sink, not out
Honorable mention: glass tables - a pain to keep clean 😫
oh dear. I just bought one yesterday. 😫
My Grandma Mush Mush loved her glass table tops for displaying photos.
@@melodypaz7247 Glass tables are indeed beautiful for displaying precious items - bless your grandma :)
But if you don't want to clean your table every day because of immediate collection of visible dust particles, streaks and fingerprints, this furniture isn't for you 😉
Glad to hear that your grandma didn't have a problem with that :)
I have been a professional cleaner for over 25 years. Before I even saw your first household worst item to clean - ‘the dreaded sink’ that has also been on the top of my list of difficult cleaning experiences. Might I also add to the house hard-to-clean items - brushed stainless steel sinks and brushed stainless steel and black polished plastic kitchen stoves. Thin grout lines between showers are not a favourite either.
Totally agree with you about the flat bottom sinks. The one in our bathroom is impossible to keep clean.
Ditto! Love the look of mine but water sits on bottom
Just going kitchen sink shopping this weekend. Thank you for the tip about squared edged sinks. Good point!
We have every single one of the items you mentioned and I would never pick them again except the undermounted sink. I don't really have an issue it but would 100% agree with you on the rest. I wish I had watched this before we built!
What a surprise! I thought you were going to talk about cleaning products!😂🤣 But your tips were still great!
This is why we need more female engineers. Every time I look at something, I judge it by how hard it would be to clean. Men never think of this. How about free standing tubs? Who is cleaning under and behind them? I hate 6 panel doors. That's TWELVE horizontal surfaces on every door that need to be dusted (top & bottom of every panel). Grout is the enemy! All tiles in high dirt applications should be large and rectified (straight cut edges, not rounded).
So true - we need more women engineers! People who design kitchens have never cleaned them (or even cooked in them), and bathrooms are another nightmare. Don't even get me started on clothing and bras...
I'm sorry, but what we need is more men doing their jobs - tasks, chores name them. The job of a woman is NOT cleasing the house by default.
@@aliciadelantado I love this comment. What if mothers raised boys to do the same housekeeping chores that girls are made to do...
Lame. People, men or women, buy off of appearance, fashion trends, and 'getting a deal'.
Preferentially buying cars difficult to repair, appliances impossible to repair, etc.
And for the love of all that's holy don't do texture on fake vinyl floors 😭 ! Why?! So gross so hard to scrub out
You forgot "children"...
That is funny. Cody is always making jokes about things, being messy. It giving him more reasons to never have any.
And pets❤❤
😂😂
In fact, it’s better to have no people or pets at all. So easy to keep clean then, you just have to dust from time to time.
🤣🤣👍
Thanks. I won’t be getting that bottom mounted sink in my bathroom and I won’t be getting the glass shower doors either for my bathroom remodel. Just a shower curtain I can throw in the washer!
I have one person who has shower doors and they put a shower curtain inside for that reason.
Lol, I came to say I hate shower curtains! I used to throw them in the washer but now I’ve eliminated that chore too! 😅
I love my glass shower doors, but the track is a pain to clean. The glass is frosted, so they don't show fingerprints or anything.
@@splat406 yeah curtains are gross unless you wash them every other day-- yuck.
The developer put the stupid flat bottom sinks and square edged mouldings into my place and, agree x1000000, they are a total pita to keep clean. To this list I'd add Shaker style cabinet and closet doors which also collect dust like nobody's business - and in the case of the ones the developer installed in my place - the corners need to be meticulously cleaned with a cotton swab or toothbrush. No amount of vacuuming or wiping with a cloth will get the corner grime out. I hate them with a passion.
I agree 100% with the flat bottomed sinks. As a cleaner, I find them very time consuming and difficult to clean.😠
i'd add anything marble, especially in the shower or kitchen counters. it is so easy to stain or etch and you can only use neutral cleaners.
We have "marble" in our kitchen and one bath. It is actually quartz. 3 years, No problems.
@@gimpygardner3377 quartz is great; i have it my kitchen too, quartz is not marble though; it can have a marble design.
Our fluffy rugs went in the trash. We even bought a new vacuum just to get them clean, didn't matter. It was a workout trying to force a vacuum across those things. They were a huge source of dust. They looked clean but as someone with a severe dust allergy, I am a dust detector. I can immediately feel it. Huge mistake buying them for our kids.
I worked for a cleaning company for a summer in college and I HATE FLUFFY RUGS. Also it made me realize I don't want a huge house. Most people use the same few rooms (living room, bedroom, main bathroom, kitchen) and everything else gathers dust.
Yes! Unless you can afford a regular housekeeper, large houses are a pain.
Also, in many upscale homes, the living room and dining room barely ever get used, except for occasional company.
I'm so glady mom taught me to imagine cleaning something before I leave it out. I have old furbies displayed that I love, but their fluff gets dusty. It's hard to clean but the way they make me feel is worth the time. They're small enough. I can't imagine having the motivation to wash a giant fluffy rug. I like the look, but not enough to outweigh the hassle.
Just keep 'em in a glass display case. It will keep the majority of the dust off. :)
A fairly regular brisk brush with a quality clothes brush will make a quick job of smaller fabric items, like stuffed toys. That may be a forgotten tool for some, but I use it often on fabric lounge surfaces, especially the squishy ones. A lot quicker and ergonomically easier than wresting with a vacuum cleaner.
I got rid of decorative rugs I had in front of my kitchen sink and stove, inside the apartment door, and a hallway runner. Not only were they trip hazards in my old age, but it is so much easier to sweep and clean the floor without shuffling them around.
And they're dust and dirt collectors. I grew up in a house with runners, carpets etc and when I married I moved to an apartment with terrazo floors (hot climate). When I see the dust that accumulates in a single week, and I remember the rugs...ugh.
@@annainspain5176 Yes, and I have a dust allergy. 🤧
I will gladly throw out my furry bedroom rug to keep our cleaner happy. I know she’s in these comments somewhere! 😂
🤣🤣🤣
I really wanted a black rug. It looked gorgeous in my room with a splash of red, white and gray. Dog hair, my hair were embedded into the fibers, not to mention the actual dust and other dirt. Couldn't hoover them out. Bought a handheld hair collector... Looked good after a good session but took me an hour. After two years I cleaned it one last time, rolled it up and donated it. No rug in my room since then.
This is what happens when people disregard decades, or even centuries, of design wisdom for the latest fashionable fad.
I have never thought those sinks were a good idea.
undermount all the way. overcount get nasty on the edges plus you cant wipe water into the sink. theyre an eye sore too like an above ground pool vs in ground.
I never thought about sinks like this before. I am preparing to buy a place so please keep sharing, this helps make my list of what I want to don't want. Of course things can be replaced, bit if I can find the perfect (or closer too perfect) home all the better
Well there's your problem! You should never have a bathroom in your house. WAY too hard to clean.
Lol I did try and suggested to the males in my house to go outside to go potty. That didn't work.
Yes! I used to clean houses, these are all a pain.
For me personally I would also add glass shower doors, and gas stoves, and white cabinets that have a weird finish to them because the finger prints never cease to exist.
I also keep all clutter off my counter spaces.
so glad I stopped by here first before choosing these items!
I have a flat bottom kitchen sink. The sharp angles require a bit of extra attention when cleaning, but it's not that bad. I don't see what's bad about bathroom under mount sinks. Any difficulty you have getting things out would be offset by the inability to wipe thinds on the counter into the sink. If it's the counter overhanging the sink that's the problem, cut the countertop so it's flush with the sink.
Whoever designed my apartment has clearly never cleaned their own house as a lot these things are currently driving me mad. I feel like the square baseboards are also extra fun when cheap sticky paint is used.
Men who design these items have generally never cleaned them.
When i remodeled my bathroom i bought a sloped, under-mount sink but had it mounted top side because it looked better and wasn’t a deep edge crevice i foresaw as gross when dirty. Contractor was so confused.
Add more! I will listen
I have to add: tile countertops, any kind of decorative trim or molding, glass shower doors
OMG I have all of that.
My kitchen sink is restaurant 72”. No changing that, but you are absolutely correct. It is so hard to rinse out. I must give credit, when my cleaning lady finishes it looks brand new.
I will not buy more of the fluffy rugs! I told her to not struggle with them. I take them to a commercial laundry.
fluffy synthetic pillows, throws, pet donuts pollute the air you breathe, and the environment - micro plastics 😏
@@webwhisper2701 you are 100% correct. Those materials are poison.
Love it, very useful tips! Please make more of these videos!
I have two hand towels hanging at my master bathroom sink. One for me face, hands, making a second pass drying armpits before deodorant, and a second towel for drying the mirror, countertop, faucet hardware, and basin (in that order) when I’m finished. It takes 10 seconds, looks hotel clean (a misnomer) and never needs a deep cleaning.
Face cloths are also great for other areas but probs best to use old ones ;)
I hope you don't reuse the armpit towel on your face.
@@brittanynye4268 why not? You're usually applying deodorants after having a shower so your armpit should be just as clean as your face.
I am anti-rug of any kind - so much more work than just a quick sweep and occasional mop.
Great tips from someone who knows. Thank you!
Succinct, informative, and easy to remember. I prefer a short like this to a 30 minute vid.
As a former cleaner I’d never have stainless steal appliances, or glass shower doors or surrounds
Walking into a kitchen and seeing all stainless steel was one of the worst parts of my job.
Unfortunately Stainless and black are popular. I had to pay more for a white dishwasher. White is not the thing.
*steel
@@georgiafrye2815 It works the opposite where I am. White has always been the cheapest, and what they call stainless steel, isn't. It's just some type of metalic paint. Every appliance I have ever bought is white. White is nice, and always looks good, regardless of what the marketers want to pedal.
I have the baseboards throughout the house and flat bottom sink in the kitchen. I keep a 4 inch squeegee to get water to go toward and into drain. I was considering a steam cleaning gun to get corners in baseboards. Brushes still do not get all dirt out. I have used q tips, and even thought of putting a drop of paint in the corners, but I don’t think I could pull it off.
Wax the sink with auto wax. It works on cars bathrooms kitchens electronics phone screens. Don't put it where slipping would be an issue.
My bff cleans houses. And she uses newspaper to clean baseboards. She wads up the newspaper and then drags it along the baseboards, while crawling along. Crushed up newspaper might just be the thing to get into those corners. Good luck!
@@dlbstluntil the ink rubs off on the wood and paint… been there, done that.
Thanks for the short video on problematic items.
Massive custom floor-to-ceiling window curtains for these rooms with 20+ foot vaulted ceilings. Is anyone seriously rolling up a 20 foot ladder every couple of weeks to clean these things?? 😳 Because with even just 1 pet, they’ll be covered in hair in 3 days flat!
As a cleaner I agree with everything except for the flat square baseboards… idk I find them way easier to clean and maintain. Can’t stand a bunch of grooves in wood for dirt to compact in. Also, the #1 thing I will not have in my home is… blinds!
And other things are:
- penny tile, white grout, stone walls, fake plants especially on top of cabinets (SO dusty), the list goes on honestly lol.
Love these videos, super validating my everyday struggles as a cleaner hahaha.
Don’t real plants collect as much dust as fake ones?
And under counter mounted sinks start to get mold and mildew build-up. Yech.
As a housewife, my first thought when I want to buy something is: how much work is it to clean this. I am glad that I am not the only one…
I watch videos of new homes and rentals, and think all the time of "how easy is that to clean"?
Animals
I would add marble to that list. It's beautiful but impossible to clean without damaging the marble. Especially in showers. I have a house cleaning business and that's the one thing i hate the most because it takes so much extra effort to try to clean it.
I used to volunteer in the kitchen at my son’s school, and they had a flat-bottom stainless sink and it was TERRIBLE! Absolutely idiotic design.
Had real sheepskin rugs you beat them over a clothesline with a broom and brush the wool .
Real wool is very different then the fake stuff. You can't brush the fake stuff... It just rips it to shreds and also pulls out clups.
@@OgdenM never had the fake stuff .
I would put cats on that list too. Having 4 of the little shits has our place constantly covered in fur and smelling of pee
I completely agree with this video about square cornered, flat bottomed sinks, but think it’s wrong about the under mount sink, and I’ll tell you why: People tend to splash water on the counter when washing their face. The easiest way to remove it is when you have an under-mount sink: you can simply sweep the water right off the counter into the sink - which you cannot do with a rimmed sink.
So unless you’re exceptionally neat - or are fine keeping a sponge nearby or getting your towels soaking wet, I think the under-mount is by far the better choice.
I have an undermount bathroom sink that I love, for the reasons you mention, BUT the sink really doesn't overlap the edge by much and there's caulking around that edge so there isn't any icky hidden groove under there (maybe those bad undermounts weren't fit correctly?)
@@Jen.O l agree with you both. If l knew more about sinks (pre-TH-cam era), l would have absolutely chosen an undermount sink for my not-fancy kitchen, as the bits and bobs from the countertop gets lodged under the edges and a fuss to remove.
Thanks, this was helpful. I'm renting an apartment right now with the exact flat bottom sink that you show first, the bathroom sink, and everything you say here is true. It clogged within 2 months of moving in and I don't like the edges or walls either.
fake fur rugs are just tacky!
I too clean and there are so many things I dread cleaning in peoples homes , bathroom lavatories that the hot and cold faucets have no room to clean in between the handles and the spout , jacuzzi bathtubs are horrible because you have to get in them to clean them and around them , tubs inside a shower room , claw foot tubs , the shower drain that is a long piece of metal you have to pull up to clean hair out of . If people had to clean them they wouldn't have any of them. I agree on all the things you mentioned. 😊oh one more thing farm house sinks , they limit what you can do because if you are washing dishes but then need to drain pasta you have to let your dishwater out.
I love my large single sink,I use a dishpan for washing dishes but to be able to wash large roasting pans and cookie sheets without getting soaked is a game changer!
@@lauramitchell6725 to each his own 😊
Drain the pasta outside
@@sholland42 I'm old school like a double sink , don't want to use a wash tub either.
Rugs would be ok if they’re small enough to be washed regularly
I have an undermount sink and it is a big mistake. Realised it within weeks of getting it installed.
I totally agree you! I wouldn't have any of those things in my house if I could help it. I do have the bottom mounted sink and I don't really like it, but I don't hate it either.
Also if you're remodelling your bathroom - no glass screens or doors - the new look open stall is by far the easiest to clean. Also don't put the shower heads so high you have to get a stool every time you clean them. Minimal or no moldings, trims or fancy bits. All the little grooves in anything eventually get soap scum, mold, or built up mineral deposits. All flat surfaces are best.
Please do more videos on this subject.
Philodendrons and similar plants strung clear across a room (or up the wall) on string. Those flat leaves collect so much dust and then someone has clean them. My very first client was always complaining about her allergies. I spent half of my first cleaning session in her house wiping plant leaves with a wet cloth and her husband laughed at me till i showedhim the black streaks on the dusters. The next week her allergies were "so much better!"
I love my undermount sinks and don’t have any problems keeping them clean.
Have you looked in the crevice between the sink and the underside of the counter?
Honest, practical, easily understood. Excellent recommendations!
Very well done video. Would like a vidoe on things to have for easy to clean. In Korea they have the best sinks, with 12 cm deep metal strainer baskets, they continue to drain even with a lot of junk in them. that can be lifted out and dumped easily. Please add to the list of hard to clean Under mount Kitchen sink with wood counter tops. Hanging openshelving in a kitchen, especially when they shelves have to be used for storage.
Great suggestion!
That's why I refuse undermount sinks!
I like this throw rugs give me trouble. I only put them where the entry way and where people walk the most so they don't ware out a path in carpet.
I live alone and I have the squared kitchen sink, it's beauty is worth the extra effort. But, buy the best gauge stainless steel, like .16 or .18, brushed finished. I've lived with it for just over a year. I have a detachable sprayer hose faucet to help with moving schmutz.
The rugs have to be shaken at every angle to get rid of stuff, like when you vacuum, you have to vacuum in different directions to get the carpet really clean.
These types of rugs hold onto things like glue.
@@CleaningtheECway I agree 💯! That's why I took it from every angle, eventually the rug came out clean.
On the long nap rugs, the only thing I could do was get on hand and knees and use the vacuum hose to do a couple square inches at a time. Totally useless. Arrrgh!!!
I’ve always wanted an undermount sink. Not anymore!! Thanks for these awesome tips. 😊
I have always had undermount sinks and love them. But I clean religiously and not a big rim.
I love under mounted sinks as well. I find they are easier to clean
my sink is made of the same material as my countertop so there is no edge at all; it is not a separate thing thats installed. its the best.
I hate my undermounted sink. I knew when we got it that it would be a nightmare to clean. It was the only one the store had that fit the counter.
Guess I have to move. I've got three of the four.
I have all those and my housekeeper has no problem keeping things perfect.
It is not that they cannot be cleaned, they are harder to clean, and harder to keep clean.
Learning the hard way on those fluffy rugs. Everything you said is a 100% true. The vacuum eats them up and things get stuck. Having to replace them now.
Yes those things died a painful death back in the 70s. They were all purple or poison green then. I'm surprised to see them back and admit to a bit of schadenfreude when I hear these stories.
CARPETS AND RUGS OVERALLLLLLL!!! Like it literally takes me 2 hours to vacuum and shampoo the tiny carpet in my bedroom! NOOO!!
ANY WINDOWS THAT REQUIRE A LADDER FOR WINDOW-WASHING, INSIDE OR OUT. Stupid architects/house-designers have obviously never washed a window in their life. Those windows that come to a point 30 feet from the floor? Flies LOVE them. Prepare for sticker-shock when you get an estimate from a professional window-washer. (And nothing says Clean House! like freshly washed windows.)
TEACH YOUR KIDS: While still sitting in the bathtub AS IT DRAINS, wet a washcloth and add some shampoo. Starting at the top (well, duh), clean the bathtub with the washcloth, splashing tub water on the sides to remove shampoo residue. When the tub is drained, run the tap briefly to give a final rinse (and rinse yourself in the shower). A CLEAN BATHTUB, after EVERY use. Never any need to SCRUB with Bar Keeper's Friend.
TEACH YOUR KIDS: After you poop and flush, if you don't like what you see, CLEAN THE TOILET IMMEDIATELY! (And that includes if you don't like what you see under to toilet seat. Check it!) Nobody taught me this when I was a kid 60-odd years ago. Why, damn it?? It's obvious. I am ashamed how long it took me to figure it out. It aggravates me that it seems as if I am the only one who does this. It's simple decency.
Just came across you guys! You have A NEW Subscriber now!!! Looking forward to ya'lls videos
Regarding square-edge moldings: What do you mean by "traditional" moldings? I just now looked at "floor moldings" in Home Depot. They showed the silhouette of cross sections. Stupid frou-frou. Perhaps the best choice is a square molding with a simple quarter-round resting on top. No flat top-surface and no frou-frou.
A kitchen is a laboratory and should be designed as such. Think: restaurant kitchen. Cooking meals is already enough work. Why add decorative frou-frou that requires additional work to clean it? I once suffered the stupid design of a Reagan-80's frou-frou kitchen. Ultra-decorative "country cottage" kitchens, with lots of frou-frou woodwork, were a thing back then. I hated that kitchen.
Open shelving in the kitchen instead of closed door cupboards!!!
Brushed steel appliances, black glass tv stands, skinny metal venetian blinds, mirrored side tables.....
Some more (as a house cleaner myself)
Living metal fixtures. - they tarnish really fast and you have to use a special polish on them and it takes forever to polish.
Stainless Steel appliances - various oils polishs them but they are so annoying to keep looking good.
Tile counter tops.... No explanation needed hopefully.
Someone else mentioned this, glass showers. They require at least a squeegee every time you use them or you quickly end up with buildup that is hard to remove.
Showers without a handheld shower head. - they make it easier to keep the shower clean.
Cheap paint - it makes it impossible to clean walls and cabinets because it just wipes off.
A refinished tub - it's gonna peel and be a mess. You also can't use any abrasive cleaner on them which makes it near impossible to clean.
Shower doors! Ugh.
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6 KJV
Stainless steel! Stainless my ass- you look at it and its filthy! On the other hand those new stainless steel "fingerprint resistant" appliances DO work.
Everything all of you say and the biggest issue at least for me is too much stuff. I'm not a house cleaner but someone who struggles to keep her home clean.
im sorry but shower curtains are nasty unless you wash them every other day. top mount sinks are gross as they collect that grime on the lip, have fun with a toothpick cleaning it and you cant wipe into the sink and rinse it off plus top mount sinks are an eye sore.
Too bad if your home also has kitchen and bathroom sinks like this! You need to be talking to those who are building.
Dry filter vacuum cleaners, trust me, do your research on this one 😅
Pop up sink plugs are gross.
