- In this weeks video I’ll be doing some spring cleaning and cleaning a couple spaces I have NEVER cleaned 😳 oh my gosh they were so dusty and dirty!
I’ll also be taking some tulip bulbs and planting them indoors to hopefully have some tulip blooms for Easter 🌷🌷

I deep cleaned under the fridge and under the stove about two months ago and you're absolutely right no one sees it and nobody notices but the accomplishment feels so great!
Hi, Jodi! Be careful you don’t shock yourself! I know that’s a hard space to clean. My fridge doesn’t have the cardboard, it’s a metal sheet. And I don’t have that front kick plate either. The newer fridges are made better for cleaning. Great job on your cleaning! We had rain for a few days but then flurries but no accumulation. Can’t wait for Spring! Hugs to all! Your neighbor from southern Michigan!🌷💐🌷💐💜🥰 P.S. I get an occasional mouse from a field near by so I have sticky mouse traps in different places. They also catch insects that crawl too. But be careful. I accidentally got my big toe on one of the traps and had to use olive oil to get the sticky residue off my skin.😂
There are mini vacuum tools for just this job... The space is tight. It takes effort. Yes.... Unplug the fridge. The fan needs to be cleaned too. The fridge will work tons and tons better. Even underneath gets all of the dust. There is no need to be super delicate when cleaning. Get after it 😊
For those wondering y the floor is unfinished under the oven, might be a building code requirement as floor wood varnish is highly flammable. You don’t really want highly flammable substances under your oven that may cause a 🔥.
When I cleaned ours, I used an old toothbrush. Your videos reminds me that I need to clean mine again!
I’ve watched another TH-cam mom who also does cleaning videos and I swear I feel like she cleans out under her stove and refrigerator at least one a month! I’m like “girl, you need to relax about it!”😂
Daffodils are all in bloom at my house! They are so pretty!
Lisa I don’t have it in me to do once a month 😂😂😂 but it probably only takes her 5 minutes 🤷♀️
Jodi, be careful, you might inspire me enough to get off this couch! 😅
So glad to see another video. You have me curious about the back of my own fridge now. A good place to get a can of air is at your local office supply store. To get between the coils, a Swiffer duster could have fit in there. I love those things!
I just sent you an email about some things going on my way. I'm looking forward to seeing all those tulips pop up. The contrast between your yard before you started this journey and now is truly inspiring. 😊
You made me laugh 😂😂
I’ll look for your email ❤️
@@jodidunnmymessylife1847 remember, clicker70. 😉
As I watched you I thought about that fan running. Then you stick metal tweezers in there while it was plugged in! You are a lucky girl.
Exactly why I said I should have unplugged it 😉
Really laughed about the canned air. I love my canned air. Couldn't live without it since I got it 😂
I c all of your bulbs now. Their going to be beautiful, I cannot wait to see what full-bloom looks like😊
I’m so excited Marlene ❤️❤️❤️
I love how real you are. I swear some clean before they film. With all the woodwork you have get some Murphy oil soap, it works on more then wood.
It is a great stain remover for clothes!
I'm so excited for your bulb garden bursting. Can't wait to see when they flower.
You tackled some ugly projects in the fridge and stove. I know your fears. Always afraid I won't be able to get everything put back correctly. Try using a wrapping paper tube on the end of your vacuum wand to extend your reach 😊
With a couple straws inside it to thin it down. Of course you'll need to glue them in place so the don't get sucked in.
You, you can put goo gone on a wood floor
Hi Jodi use a small paint brush to get in the back much easier and less sharp love your cleaning videos very inspiring
Well this video reminded me that I need to clean behind my fridge and under my stove
I only know about the running fan, because I did that many years ago. I thought I was dead! What a racket.
Hi Jodi,it’s cold wet and windy here in the UK,so I haven’t been able to get in the garden but the garden is looking pretty there are many daffodils,crocus hyacinths Snowdrops and the bluebells and tulips are just popping up now.I am bout to decorate some bedrooms as I have a empty nest,now my 8 children have now all left home.So lots to keep me busy
for a few weeks.Before my 16th grandchild puts in a appearance.My husband is disabled so I don’t think my refrigerator has not been pulled out for at least 2 years so I might have to have a look and see…Well done in tackling yours.
Donna you have 16 grandchildren…oh my gosh how absolutely wonderful 😍
Your garden sounds lovely even on a cold wet day. Can’t wait until I see some blooms here ❤️
Hello 👋. In these cases I use old toothbrushes, school art brush with long handle and such. Pipe cleaner might be better, I don't have any. Soft paint brush or makeup brush I use while cleaning little fans in my PC (while it is not running of course), vacuuming dust as I go.
I just heard on the news Pella, Iowa there tulips are already coming up 2 months before tulip time
Watching you while I edit my kitchen cleaning video 😊. Your videos always make me smile!!
Thank you Heather ❤️
Hi Jodi, I need to clean behind my refrigerator too. I can't wait to see your bulbs bloom outside. Sending many blessings your way.
Nani I’m busting at seems with excitement for the blooms!!! I can not wait. Always great to see a comment from you friend 🤗
Hi Jodi,👋 can of air is for cleaning keyboards and computer towers so lots of people keep them on hand now. Usually they're available anywhere they sell accessories for phones & computers.
So glad you finally got to the back of that fridge. Your light bill should like that cleaning. It's also good to do the same for stand alone freezers.
I've been doing some surgery prep for tomorrow again. That malfunctioning implant is being removed & NOT replaced.
Also been cleaning what I can. Decluttered half my 43"long (x2 sides of sink) counter in my kitchen. Cleaned and reorganized again. (Had planned to declutter after the last surgery but hadn't felt up to tackling that monster.
Found where the veneer had black mold growing under it into this old 1940s countertop. Ugh. Landlord will be replacing it soon.
Other than that it's cleaning all the bedding again that I JUST cleaned pre- surgery. Making sure ALL laundry is done, making ahead things I can eat with VERY LITTLE cooking.
Thankfully, taxes are done. Bills are paid. And some small areas have AGAIN been decluttered.
All of this while prepping for purim (24th March this year) celebration and planning ahead for start of pesach ( passover) on 22April this year. So it's been crazy stress time. Lol
Unless someone tells you & or teaches you, you don't just KNOW how/what/when you can /should clean...how would you know?
I think you're doing great at getting better at everything.
Tulips. Yes!!! Enjoy them.
Edit... Yes. Enjoy the blooms!!!
And hopefully those pothos bits will catch hold & do well.
Moss lives damp & inhales moisture like a kid with spaghettis followed by cookies.. you know...SLUUUURP!!!!
Jodi, Your tulips 🌷 are going to be awesome!! Cannot wait to see them! My fridge vents were really bad when I had 2 big shedding dogs!!😳
I have had your channel on ALL DAY! A Jodi marathon. 😊
Awe I love that ❤️❤️❤️
I always have canned air. It is the best cleaning "tool" for hard-to-reach spots, greenery, keyboards, cracks, and crevices. It is one of my go-to items. It is great also for cleaning the refrigerator as you did in this video. I use it for that too for my annual cleaning!
In regards to the cleaning of the fridge, I use a toothbrush to get in all the nooks and crannies.
Awesome post. I love getting in those places we don’t do regularly or ever.😂
Yes 😂 they are fun to see them come clean
A baby bottle cleaning brush could work for the fridge. I have a long handle duster that I use for the thin spaces I can’t reach, like the space between our fridge and wall. Tbh, I also use it to do the skirting boards too.
Could you lay something under the stove to make cleaning under there easier?
I think the minority of the population cleans all the spaces in their home regularly….I’m definitely not one of them😂 In 2020, I clean for the first time SO MANY spaces I hadn’t cleaned since we built the house in 2007🤭 At least they are done now. Great job Jodi❤
Kat I’m sure you are right. I always get at least one person that tells me how it’s easy to create a habit of cleaning each space weekly and I just think yeah ok cleaning superwomen 😂
@@jodidunnmymessylife1847 I honestly could not be bothered cleaning the spaces I cleaned in 2020 more often than every 1 or 2 years. It’s good enough for me😄
Hi Jodi, never taken off the cardboard either, kinda stick the vacuum behind it, know I’m not getting the whole mess but the rest of the fridge is easy. Of course nothing is easy now that I am disabled. 6 months of pain 24/7, getting me down. Having knee replacement surgery in early June. I thought I could just strengthen the muscles around the knee but MRI showed avascular necrosis which is death of bone that has to be removed or it will spread. Going to be a hard summer but going to ask my son, daughter and her husband to clean up my back yard….put my Xmas crates away, clean up dog poo etc. My son will mow the lawn, don’t know if I can get hubs to water but whatever perennials come up they do and that is how it has to be.🥺🙂
The hardest thing for me to clean is the sides and hood of my gas stove. I won’t pull it out. I use super long brushes with soap and water for the sides. The hood! UGH!! One has to be a contortionist so it gets cleaned but never spotless underneath. I am also hosting Easter and my granddaughter’s birthday which falls on the same day.
I love your excitement over your plantings. My tulips are coming up well maybe 5 inches of green a week ago but we are having a major snowstorm on Thursday in Denver so who knows how they will end up.
Thank you for this video Jodi!😘
Oh no Mary!!! I’m sorry you didn’t get better news. Hoping the knee replacement really helps and it heals quickly 🙏🙏🙏
Great job cleaning all the things. It has been a while since I did a good refrigerator clean. Guess I should do it next! I have been visiting relatives this past week so I have been having fun! I hope you have a great weekend!
I would use my round brush attachment to vacuum that dust!
Jodi I have a couple of old paint brushes that help loosen dust and then vacuum. I can't wait to see your beautiful garden in bloom. God bless....
Yes a paintbrush is flexible enough I think that might work ❤️
I found these Car care detailing swabs at Walmart. They have a 4-5” handle on each one and a spongy end. Those would work great for behind the fridge!
I have a brush with a long handle that is meant to clean my lint trap on the dryer. Use that to slip in those tight spaces and loosen it up. Then vacuum. Good luck!
You can just use some yarn to tie the pothos stem to the moss pole right by the aerial root 😊 I found that all the cuttings I made from a pothos died when I put them straight in soil but all the ones in water are doing amazing 🤷🏻♀️
Yes they do so good in water. 1 of my cuttings I put in soil did root but it is not nearly as big if roots as the one I did in water
I cannot wait to see your garden bulbs in bloom! You went crazy last fall planting! Another way of propagating pothos is to leave the length attached to the original plant. Lay the stem over the soil of the new pot next to the old. You can use a twist tie to make a little u shape to press into the soil over the stem in a few places. After it's rooted well then cut the stem from the original plant. Just another experiment for you to try. 🌻🍄
Hey girl! I would get a multi size pack of bottle brushes and use that on the fridge coils ... Yes with a can of air. LOL 👍💞
Great idea ❤️
Hey Jodi!! I taught you something about our crazy oven and now you have taught me something else. I have never cleaned underneath mine either! I didn't think about that front plate coming off. I am scared to look under mine..lol. Great job Jodi! Love learning from you❤
We NEED each other to figure out this “unique” oven of ours 😂😂😂
You are still my hero for sharing how to get the burner plates off ❤️❤️❤️
Jody I think the floor underneath is unfinished because varnish is flammable you don’t want anything flammable in a place that heats up.
Yay! It’s always a wonderful Tuesday when your videos come out, Jodi! You tackled some great projects & it’s so exciting to see all those tulips coming up!!
You inspire me to do more projects & also work more my channel too. Thank you!
This week I’m decluttering some bins & working on a memory book! 📚
I LOVE YOUR SO REAL VIDEOS LOL🥰🤗
Jodi, be careful there is a fan blowing under the frig. You should always unplug it when cleaning under it. I did not know this years ago and I was sticking my hand under there. God was looking out for me and nothing happened. Please be careful!
This week I purged my jewelry box and cleaned out the drawers below the tool bench in the garage.
Yay Cynthia 👏👏👏
We use an air compressor to blow the lint and dust out of the coils......It's amazing how much lint gets in there! I can't get a brush or the vacuum to get clear inside where the coils are.
Thanks for sharing Pat 🤗
This is a great episode, Jodi! I enjoyed it.
Thank you so much ❤️
I’m thinking a car vacuum with detail components would help clean the small spaces. You’re doing great, Jodi!
Hi jodi never seen a cooker like yours or refrigerator were u have to off the front bit well i am from uk so really dont we have what have so much work n dust have u a wonderful job u really a cleaning queen god bless n your lovey family abundantly❤😮🎉well done to u x dottie
Hi Jodi!
To clean fridge and freezer makes them more effective and saves electricity. They might be more quiet to, when cleaned. Another important thing is that all that dust can become a fire hazard. If you do it 1-2 times a year it will feel much easier since there will be less build up.
To clean under the fridge and freezer and under + behind the stove provides less chance for silverfish and other bugs to thrive. They eat those time pieces of food that can be dropped there.
I clean behind/under our stove about 3-4 times a year. Its easiely done at the same time as other kitchen scrubbing so if I have time it jist takes a few minutes. Under fridge and freezer perhaps 2 times/year and behind more seldom, perhaps every second year or so. I can´t pull them out by myself.
Another place I clean often instead of when it´s needed, perhaps more often than otherrs is our shower drain. I open up, take the loose parts out and clean all of it every second or third month. It´s never smelly or discusting thatway and I hate do to clean it when it´s bad. When I clean the shower drains I take the dish brush from the kitchen 😆and use that to clean both the shower and inside the drain, then I give myself a NEW dish brush for the kithen. The one I used in the drain I put in the plastic recyling.
About that no one will know that you cleaned under and behind... When it´s done the whole house smells fresher and You will know, and that is the most important.
I've been procrasinating on cleaning under and behind my appliances also. I am not looking forward to it. I can't wait to see your tulips come up. Here in North Carolina we have a lot of daffodils come up but I haven't seen any tuplips yet. I love tulips. They're my favorite!
My daffodils are just about to bloom but I can not wait for the tulips 🌷
Great work Jodi! ❤. You have a great hubby too! (Never seen an oven like that)
It’s a crazy oven Cherie 😂
If your. Husband has a shop vacuum there is a part where it blows the air out . Just take the hose and move it around the back. It works great
Thanks Carol 🤗
I love that you found a love of plants!!! I cannot wait for you to be able to go outside!!! I have just planted out my garden and it is my first year getting into flowers.
Your spring flowers are going tp be beautiful! We recently replaced out refrigerator. We've had a difficult time figuring out how to literally work the crazy thing, let alone how to clean it. All computerized. We're in our late 70's. User friendly, it is NOT! I do appreciate the interior, the ease of organization, French door style versus side by side. But, that's the beginning and end of it!
i know when i complete all the little jobs no one sees my home just feels cleaner to me and thats all that matters is that you know
Amazon sells electric rechargeable mini blowers for dusting. As alternative to cans of air. They come in very handy if you invest in one with decent power. Lots of uses.
Thanks for sharing ❤️
My mom used to put a sock (with a rubber band) on the end of a yardstick to clean under & between hard to reach places.
Great idea ❤️
Yes. Canned air is a staple, especially if your family are gamers/ computer users
Hello Jodi. Great job on your cleaning. I've been organizing more cupboards. What junk I kept.
Thanks again for inviting us into your home. Love the tulips. I live near Tulip time in Holland, Michigan.
Hello, great video , I’m into the second week of cleaning and reorganising my kitchen cupboards. I stuck a sticker on each one still to be done and we are down to 4 left to do. Been doing 30 mins stints x
Yay Gillian that’s fantastic 👏👏👏
So excited for your tulips! You will enjoy them so much and they will be beautiful! Moved in to our new home to us! It needs a lot of work but it’s home for us. Of course we have run into issues but that happens!! God just blessed us to be able to get it and it’s beautiful to me and I love it! Mercy have been decluttering! It has been a job let me tell you! I tell myself,” If Jodie can do it then I can to!!” But it has been a job let me tell you! I love your videos and you do inspire me and others!! Ty for sharing your videos!
Can’t wait for the flowers to bloom..😊
I’m so excited Vicky ❤️❤️
I think your oven was the first air fryer. "Convection oven." Very cool.
Great job ❤❤❤❤
That you Marsha ❤️
Darn no money behind the fridge.. oh well it looks great though jodi❤
Kelly that made me laugh 😂 that sure would have been fun to find money back there 😍
Anytime you're working with an electrical appliance never use anything metal because you can shock yourself especially if it's plugged in that's why you should have unplugged it first also things like that use a toothbrush it'll pick up more dirt
Hi Jodi, I know cleaning the frig below & behind are kind of hard. The stove, too! I used to do some of those things. But now that I can't get around to good. I just can't do it. My husband doesn't either. He's better at getting down & some crawling around, but he can't see the best. So here we are. I can't wait for your tulips to come up. It'll be so pretty! I have seen Crocus coming up. The tulips are usually next. But I haven't seen any yet. We're in the Eastern Washington area. It's still kind of cold. We had a few sunny 🌞 days! I seem to go through being cold even in the 40's to 50's, but once it gets 70's, then I'm ok. Your plants, I think, will do good! We're watching our Sons new puppy a shitzu for a few weeks. He's taking more training for his truck driving. He's so cute. White with chocolate patches. A little boy. Ok, I can't wait till you're more outside & gardening, etc. Thanks for being so real & sharing things. Especially those things we don't like to show. But you do it so well! 👌♥️😊🫂🐾🦉🍄🧶🧵🪡🖌🎨🖼✨️🌞
Shara that’s so nice of you to watch your sons dog! I hope you are having fun with him. Shitzu’s are so darn cute!!! I don’t know what crocus look like. Now I have to Google it 😂
Always appreciate seeing your comments 🤗❤️
Great job on your fridge, Jodi!!!!
I love how you say hello
Maybe a baby bottle brush to clean in between coils?
The one project I really want to tackle is taking apart the door to my oven and cleaning the inner glass. Something somehow leaked in between the two panes and it looks bad. I keep a hand towel over the handle to cover it. I have watched many TH-cam videos and it seems easy enough to take apart but just really scared. Don't want to mess up and not be able to get it back together.
As always, you are my favorite with videos. You are so down to earth. I love you. Great job on cleaning the appliances. I Pull my refrigerator out about every three months because with having the two cats it sucks the hair underneath and it’s just easier to keep up with it. You have a wonderful day. Thanks for the great laugh. Be safe and God bless.
The can of air is awesome to have. I had some somewhere and can’t find it. I’m about to get some more
Isn’t that the worst when you know you have something and can’t find it 🤦♀️
Cans of air used to be used for both computers and sewing machines, they are no longer recommended for either. At least based on my last hunt for one. They aren't available for shipping from Amazon. Or weren't when I was looking acouple months ago.
I think my son wound up finding one at Walmart or tractor supply?
I use a straw cleaner it a wire connected to brush I get them from Amazon.
Does this pose a shock hazard? Did you unplug the frig during this cleaning?
Yes that would have worked better 😊
I do unplug my refrigerator to clean in the motor part
Ugh, I need to gather my nerve up to get behind the stove & fridge...😮 Love the red of popping tulips too.❤
The only things I have on my fridge are smallish pics of our 5 Grandkids!!!
If it makes you feel any better, I don't clean under my oven because the last time I did I wound up with a gas leak putting it back.
Compressor shot it from the front , but you did good job
baby bottle brush works great
Lots of great progress today 👏. Have a great day! 😊❤
So helpful for your fridge for it's efficiency!!
Oh geez, they were pressure washing the sewer lines here yesterday. Idk where under the trailer they were hiding, but the cats got tired. Caught 2. maybe 3? I only found 1 dead, so hoping they just left, or that they get found by the cats again.
Hello Hello Hello. Jodi. I am always happy to see you
How FUNNY is that 😂
I got my fridge in early 2014 and cleaned the insides in January for the first time, also then I discovered that I can take off the ovens knobs with a butter knife!
So high five in being lousy cleaners in the past Jodi 😃
For these hard to reach places, like the one under your oven, I fix a microfiber cloth with a rubber band on a wooden stick, works magic!
If some places in your flower beds stay sparse, just stick a bird feeder in that place (or some other decoration) and it looks intentional.
All we can do is improve from here Keelienne 😂😂😂
@@jodidunnmymessylife1847 And we do! And that feels amazing 🙂
Hi Jodi, can of air for computer keyboards, I believe that’s the compressor you are vacuuming, I just replaced my old Maytag from 22 years ago, never ever a repair or problem, I only replaced cause I wanted a French stainless steel one, I purchased my old one when I worked at H D for $641, times have changed, new Maytag, just a little bigger, $2500. Crazy! Have a great week.😊
I would use a shopvac to clean the stove it has more sucking power. Good job!!
Thank you Molly ❤️
Hi Jodi! Our huge dead tree going away on Tuesday. Rain keeps postponing it! Home Depot is having 12 months interest free if you spend 299 or more. Want to replace our bedroom carpet.
I can't remember the last time I cleaned under my appliance and inside the back of the refrigerator. I guess I have a weekend project now. I live in New Mexico and it gets very dusty here!! i
Hi Jodie, oh yea, my fridge looks like that every year when I clean it. Always unplug it first. That air is a good idea but sometimes that dust is a greasy dust where it won't blow off. Those brushes that they use to clean straws works pretty good too to get into those tight spots. Our old fridge is a RCA and its 25 years old. I make sure to clean it every year so I think that has helped keep it running more efficiently. Always enjoy your video's from the Upper Penninsula of Michigan. Gotta love this fabulous winter we've had this year. Happy cleaning.
Renee I think you are right! Some of the dust was too caked on. I’ll have to get a straw cleaner. U.P. In Michigan is so beautiful in the summer ❤️❤️
25 year old fridge is just fantastic. You give me hope that mine has many good years left if I keep it cleaned
Nice to see the tulips coming out😊
I finally tackled the babyclothes in the attic since I can sell them this week at a secondhands clothes sale. Yehey although also kind of sad so may memories 😥. But it also gives space
Baby clothes are definitely a tough one! Great job making some space 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
A dryer vent cleaner might work. I have canned air to dust the computer and small items that are hard to dust.
Those bulbs are going to be so very beautiful!
I can not wait to see them 🥰🥰
I was thinking clean under the cardboard before you clean the floor!!! Lol
Considering you haven't removed your knobs ever, it wasn't bad. Have a great week Jodi 😊!
Sheree I can’t believe I never did that 😂
They really weren’t too bad. Only a couple had a significant amount of grease behind them 😊
I love your videos! I am cleaning windows this week. I always procrastinate at this job because I don’t enjoy this part of spring cleaning.
Julie yes windows aren’t fun but look so good when they are done ❤️
Heads up! Goo Gone on your floor will create a very slick spot. I found this out the hard way and we had many falls from walking with socks on. It took forever to get the slick spot to disappear. Not a good idea! 😂
I had know idea either. My husband knew so he taught me. Thank you for sharing this. You are amazing. Love the flowers coming up. 🧡💜🩵🩷💛💚
Awesome job cleaning the kitchen appliances! I need to do that also before the ground thaws and the ants start to move again...
I cannot believe your bulbs are a sprouting in the beginning of March!! 💚
Ann I’m so exciting about all the sprouts ❤️❤️❤️
Lol, Ive been using the false springs for outside cleanup. I did plant peas outside last week. Never planted anything that early.
I'll save this for my "day off" tomorrow. Thank you, have a great week 😊
I have straw cleaning brushes thst would work for that, but I bet a spoolie for mascara would work well too.
I have the can of air for keyboards and for a wicker picnic basket!!!!
Hi Jodi. I love watching your cleaning videos. So I noticed the green stuff on your floor is on the cardboard you took off the back. So I think you might have coolent leak because I also saw one of the little pipes is green too.....
I used the bristle brush on the vacuum. ❤
You inspire me so much!
