Really enjoying your channel. Recently discovered you guys. You and Tom are so cute and funny together and I love Diana’s prayers. I’m not religious- even considered myself an atheist, although I don’t tell anyone that because I want to believe. Listening to Diana is lighting a tiny light in me.

My word those kiddos WORK! Corbin you are a vacuuming superhero! Maggie how did you work through that mountain of clothes!! And Adeline! You are mending for your Granddad?? What!! You guys are amazing 🤩
You can also use a small amount on stainless steel. Works just as well as any “product”. For rust spots, get the finest grade steel wool and buff w grain using the barkeepers friend and water as a paste.
The look on Dawn's face when her sister is reading the Bible or saying the prayers is just the sweetest. You can literally see on her face how intent she is listening. Love that you both share the word of the Lord with us and your fun family times. You make Sundays special. Thanks for sharing !!
Branch Basics! For EVERYTHING! I think it’s a minimalist’s dream. One concentrate to mix all your cleaners. It even makes laundry soap. Add the oxygen boost to help for stubborn messes. I used it to get tomato sauce out of my daughter’s clothes too!! And it’s non toxic!!
I second this. I replaced ALL my cleaners with Branch Basics. Completely non-toxic and I haven’t found a job it can’t tackle yet. Truly a minimalist’s dream.
I have three boys. My husband and I were both working. So I made sure the boys had 5 pants, shirts and underwear for school. So we did not have to wash during the week. I would wash on Saturday and Sunday in between soccer games and family outings. So on Sunday night, after baths, we would watch Disney and have family fold in. Each kid would fold their cloths and I would fold my husbands and my cloths, sheets, towels, etc. my husband worked on the weekends. We would put away after Disney was over. This helped so much. My grown sons still remember family fold in.
I don’t “clean along with” anyone. I’m watching this because 1. I love you and Sis, and 2. I need to let go of the cleaning supplies that I don’t use and am curious to know what your favorites are. 👍👍
I am so happy that I found your channel! I love the spiritual conversation as well I am a Christian woman and I appreciate that you and your sister openly talk about Jesus Christ 🙏❤️
I make my own all purpose cleaner/disinfectant: In a spray bottle: 1/2 water, 1/2 white vinegar, a few drops of Dawn and 40 drops of lemon 🍋 essential oil. Works on everything...even shower tiles and doors. Spray and rinse...no scrubbing and/or wiping. To disinfect: spray, leave for 5 minutes and then wipe or rinse. Love it.
I do the same but without the vinegar, and about 10 drops of lemon oil. This works on most jobs about the house. I have a separate bottle with the vinegar which I just use on the shower glass.
I use that too, works great. Funny i dont smell the vinegar maybe because i put the e.o.in it or i am just totally oblivious of the smell cuz i also use it for my clothes in the dryer. Everything is distilled vinegar for me!
I use Thieves cleaner for almost everything! It's plant based and nontoxic! Thank you for continuing to share biblical thoughts on Sundays. I so enjoy them!
There is another brand of essential oils called Revive that has an oil called Immunity Boost that is the same blend as Thieves at a better price point. They have yet to come out with the cleaning concentrate that Young Living has, but they do have a recipe on their website so you can mix your own.
I just love you’re videos! We are currently renovating our house - it’ll still be small (we are in the Uk) but I’ve taken so much inspiration from your channel and I’m so excited to have a clutter free, minimal, happy home!! Wishing you all the best!!!
My dirty computer screen made me think "Wow, she missed a few spots on that stainless steel fridge!" Nope! It's me that needs to do some extra cleaning! 😂
For stainless steel: hands down e-cloths!! There’s an 8 pack for around $30. Just use water!! I’m not a fan of the dust cloth that comes in the 8 pack but the other 7 are wonderful!
Discussing cleaning products and the Bible- it doesn’t get much better than this!! Just cleaned the family bathroom ( my least favourite job) with you lovely ladies cheering me on and my minty Method cleaner and cloth. I did the Bible in one year with The Bible Project plan on you version last year which was a brilliantly helpful big sweep ( although I almost shot myself in judges in about April!). Their videos are really helpful. Thanks for the encouragement 👏🏻
The TH-cam channel, “Scandish home” has many household cleaners. They are all environmentally friendly too! Love you both. I feel like smiling when I see you and my husband says, such happy ladies! Thank you for all your hard work and passion for the Lord!
Branch basics is amazing for almost all home surfaces! It’s a concentrate that you mix with water in different ratios for all purpose cleaner, bathroom, window, laundry detergent and hand soap. It’s safe and nontoxic.
Norwex all the way for me! The stainless steel cloth is amazing!!! Seriously. One wet cloth and no extra products. I clean my toilet with their bathroom cleaner. Non toxic for the win!
We use dr bronners for pretty much everything, surface clean, and then I just squirt it in the toilet and clean it, use the spray for walls, the only other stuff I have is bar keepers friend for my stainless pots, and then vinigar for windows/mirrors
Love you guys!! I'm 74 and still learning new tricks. I use the Lysol brand toilet bowl cleaner (blue) . I use a cup of hot water with a slice of lemon in the microwave and let the steam loosen the residue.
What I love so much about Sundays together is that you go so smoothly from practical, real life day by day routines into the spiritual. What I love so much is how absolutely you live your faith and how totally authentic you are. I trust you both and look forward to your videos together.

It's 10:30pm here in Queensland, Australia 🦘🇦🇺🐨 so I won't be getting out of bed to clean with you today Dawn 😉 Thank you Ladies for all you do to inspire and encourage 🙏
Thank you for the prayer🥲❤️🩹 even a year later the Lord is still using this...and it's still being prayed and brought me tears, I'm in my 30s and my health and body have been under attack for a year...I miss cleaning...which is why I'm watching. Knowing that you both are sisters in Christ was used today once again to encourage me and let me know that the Lord still is holding me. Thank you 💛
I use the Dawn Vinegar combo especially for the shower. Have used it in the toilet too but not for lime scale build up. It works for spot cleaning carpet too. If I decide to add water, I use distilled so as not to become gross when it is stored away.
Thanks to those of you who recommended the pumice stone for the toilet. I'm going to try that! In the kitchen, I typically just use a bit of dish detergent to wipe things down. I do have a special cleaner for the ceramic top on my oven (what a game changer coming from horrible electric coils and those metal plate thingies underneath). I did recently start using diluted bleach in a spray bottle for my cutting boards. I bought reusable cloth things that act like Swiffer products for sweeping, mopping, and dusting. They are great. Amazon. For the bathroom, I am currently using comet on most things (bought it because it was cheap and we grew up with it) but don't know that its all that necessary - I'm sure a combo of soap and vinegar would do the trick. I don't pour any products down drains anymore - just get a drain snake and clean it all out. Also, microfiber cloths and a bit of water are all I need for windows and mirrors. For some cleaning, like the bathroom sink, I'll just take a bit of handsoap and a cloth. Love the cut up scotch brite scrubbers - my husband taught me that, and he got it from his mom. Smart!
I have been binge watching your videos for a couple months and I have loved ALL of them. It has been great to pick up some new ideas for minimalism and get motivated to continue the process even when it's challenging. I have been decluttering and simplifying for years now but there is always a more productive way or a helpful mindset shift to adopt. I love your positive attitude and practical tips, plus the faith-based chats are always encouraging. Thank you so much Dawn and Diana!
JUDE'S MIRACLE CLOTH AMAZING FOR WINDOWS, MIRRORS, STAINLESS STEEL APPLIANCES AND ANY CLEANING JOB YOU CAN IMAGINE! NO STREAKS AND ONLY USES WATER!!! CANT LIVE WITHOUT THESE!!!!!
Thanks for the practical tips. Great to see the whole family pitching in with the housework. And I always appreciate the humor and down to earth approach you have. Not to mention the fun thumbnail!
I love your videos! I have done professional housecleaning for almost 37 years. It’s true that having the right products make all the difference. The pumice stone is amazing for getting hard water lines out of toilets. A couple of thoughts on that, though. The pumice stone should be wet and also the toilet bowl,. I clean it first and flush. Also, on extremely old toilet bowls, be extremely careful because the pumice stone may leave scratches. If there is heavy lime buildup, Walmart sells a heavy duty pumice stone with the cleaning products. This works much better than the one sold with the beauty products.
Thank you! After watching this I cleaned out under my sink that really needed some weeding out of "unnecessaries". Also when I got distracted in the middle of that I did some weeding in the office. Now under my kitchen sink is organized, spare and easy to use. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I love Method products, too.
Love seeing your kids help with chores. Mine did, too. And it means they know what to do when they have their own homes. It also made me feel less overwhelmed when they were home.
FYI- the Passion Bible is actually a paraphrase in the genre like the Message. It's not an actual translation. It's fine for inspiration but not for study.
But that's not the traditional meaning of "Biblical translation." It needs to go through a series of professionals and experts in the field, not just one person.
And your recommendation for a version that you can actually understand for study? Just for comparison...I need a current, up to date, easy to read version.
Christian Standard Bible by Holman is a readable and reliable version. You can find charts online with various versions and whether they are word for word translations or thought for thought. I find some versions in between these two to be the best, both easier to understand and reliable. However, I do like New Living Translation to be a good daily readable text.
My career was in pharmacy and we kept a sterile field with rubbing alcohol- so now that I'm home with kids I clean my house with it too. I do also love vinegar for laundry, hard water, etc and peroxide for pee accidents (puppy and 3 year old).
I don’t clean with you but it does inspire me and I replay all your videos in the background while I clean and declutter! I use the Norwex envirocloth and window cloth for windows, mirrors, and stainless steel appliances! Zero chemicals and zero repurchasing. Highly recommend those 2 cloths the most. Envirocloth is for everything else too.
I enjoy your videos, but I like to keep housekeeping to a minimum on Sunday. Its so important, I think, to take time to really rest in the Lord, taking time to listen, to love, to adore God Our Father. I am so caught up in the impossible amount of stuff I need to do, I need to put that aside on Sunday to spend time loving my family and Jesus. Your Sunday videos inspire me. Blessings on you both.
This brought back memories of my older sister always "having to go to the bathroom" when the dish tray started to fill up...so I was always the one who dried all of the dishes. Never thought of getting her to put everything away!
Thanks for being so down to earth and inspiring! We had bathtub and toilet emergency repairs- while I had to clear the counter I decided to think positive and try having the counter clear - gonna keep it clear for a month like you suggested and take it from there! 👍🏽
For toilets, I have used comet or bar keepers friend... baking soda and a little bit of vinegar would also work. Stainless Steel, some people swear buy using dusting spray... weimans stainless steel cleaner is good too. I started making myself only watch cleaning videos when I clean. I am obsessed with cleaning videos and would just sit and watch...I realized I needed to build a new habit ;) Thanks for everything!
It is coming back in style (white appliances). My sister-in-law mentioned that her parents had to pay more for white appliances because SS is now the standard. Who would have known. Great video ladies!!
I use Therapy Stainless Steep Cleaner & Polish on my sink and appliances. I cleaned them first, with a drop of dish soap and lots of water on a microfiber, rinsed with a wet microfiber, dried them and then applied the polish. Now, I only polish them every couple of weeks. So much easier to maintain!
Ecloths are my absolute favorite for all cleaning, except inside the toilet bowl 😉...similar to norwex, but way cheaper. Each cloth has a specific use. No chemicals, that's the best part.
YES! Ecloth! I have both norwex and ecloth, and would never pay the $$$ for norwex, they work exactly the same. You want an easy clean stainless steal fridge? Get ye some microfiber! Quick wipe with just water, and done. No cleaner needed. The only places I use cleaner are the stovetop and bathrooms, and then I use the vinegar+dishsoap spray or barkeepers friend.
Meh I beg to differ. Ive had a long chat with Steve Pearson who created e-cloth. Their grade is less than half (therefore not picking up or killing germs inside it as there's no permanent silver). They used to have silver but it was dipped in a solution that would wash out. By his own admission, he wanted cloths that were single purpose to buy more, like enjo. Sure use ecloth for jobs that may damage your cloth.. Keep at least 3 Norwex to do majority of the long term grunt. Enviro = deep clean, window = shine bling! And dustmitt that picks up an incredible amount of dust, wet it clowns fly screens and cars. E-cloth you'll get a couple of years before wear out. Norwex I get a good 6-10 years. From a hygiene trainer doing glo germ tests and prof 5 star cleaner (in the past), Norwex kicks butt.
We used to get mineral buildup in just a few days each time the toilet was cleaned, and it always had that faint ring at the water line. We added automatic toilet bowl cleaners to our tanks and now it takes over a month to get any kind of build up at all. They are a game changer.
You can't beat simple baby oil on stainless steal to make stainless steal look clean and brand new. My mum taught me to use that when she owned burger vans as her business.
I have put baby oil on my stainless steel fridge etc. and it works very well. The only problem is that I have a golden retriever dog and when he wags his tail and touches that fridge the hair stays on the fridge. Doesn’t look very good. One advantage to the baby oil is that, if you see fingerprints, you can give them a quick wipe with the back of your hand and they disappear. Now I prefer just using a microfibre cloth.
@@andmelinda that’s a very good reason to put it the bottle out of reach but I wouldn’t be worried about using it to lightly coat a stainless steel appliance. It would be impossible for a baby to be harmed by touching what is essentially a film of oil.
I use this, too! I get a gallon of food grade mineral oil on Amazon. I have bare butcher block countertops, so I oil them every month from the same mineral oil supply.
I am trying to go to natural cleaners, love your vinegar and water for mirrors, dish soap and vinegar for bath and kitchen cleaning. Great ideas, good for the environment too. Thanks.
I always watch clean with me videos during my lunch break. I find them very calming! I don’t clean along with you but I do always write down any new tips that I may encounter. Also... I am super guilty of buying too many cleaning products. I have declared no more cleaning products until I finish absolutely every single product in our home.
I use Limeaway from the Dollar Store for my toilets to get rid of the mineral build up. Squirt it around the rim and let it soak for awhile and then the toilet brush.
I also use the old stand by my Mom always used, Comet to clean the inside The Toilet. On the other surface of the toilet I use the Method multi purpose you two use for the rest of the toilet!
If you aren't already, y'all need to follow @cleanmyspace. Melissa & Chad are awesome. Melissa is a professional cleaner who hates to clean! How can you not appreciate that? She has the best tips, tricks & hacks. Oh! And their micro fiber cloths are unlike any other! Expensive... But definitely worth it!
First of all, Dawn's comment "it makes you feel pretty while you clean" has been the most legit thing I've ever heard. This is exactly how I feel but never knew how to put it into words 🤣🤣. I do not have stainless steel but I really like the norwex cleaners. Look into those for your stainless steel.
So am I. Father Mike has a great way of explaining the Bible as I struggle with that often. I also have been reading along with The Great Adventure Bible and really love that. The research that Jeff Calvins has done and put into the Bible is phenomenal. He lays it out like a storyline and really emphasizes how the two books are connected to each other.
Diana, I discovered (by accident) my Norwex Window rag cleans appliances like a charm! Just water and wipe it down. I’ve used it on the dishwasher, refrigerator, front of stove and microwave! Looks brand new!!
Hi thought I might share some toilet cleaning info since you asked. I am in a hard water area too but the most important thing is not to damage the glaze on your toilet. If you scrub a tea cup with abrasive it stains much quicker. Same with the toilet, so no pumice stone ever! You need to remove all limescale with a limescale remover constantly. Also I use a "pot" brush one of the longer ones not a round one toilet brushes are horrid far too abrasive. Pot brushes are cheep too keep it in a vase in a cupboard. Happy cleaning! ps if stained below water line you have a limescale build up remove the water and leave to soak with a remover. My favourite is Kilrock on Amazon super strong wear gloves x
I learned about using the pumice stone when I had a job doing commercial cleaning. It works well, but doesn't get into the crevices well. I've used a little piece of drywall screen that's metal for getting into the crevices of the toilet.
I love using natural cleaners for everything and I mainly use Young Living Thieves Oil Household Cleaner for all of our cleaning, from countertops to toilets... but when toilets need a little extra cleaning umph (especially when I lived where there was hard water), The Works Toilet Bowl Cleaner is/was my go-to! It really works! I use to have a cleaning busines and that is what I used for toilets that the owners had spent YEARS trying to get rid of hard water stains and such... it cut it and they were amazed! My mom also taught us to cut scrubbing pads in half!😂 I love white appliances!😍 We recently were finally able to replace our black/stainles steel fridge with white and we'll be replacing our stove soon! I think it's great that your daughter is able to mend your Dad's shirts! 🥰 Reminds me of my sisters... and also reminds me that I need to teach my daughter how to sew a button on!😬😂 I am going to check The Passion Bible out. I love that it is a translation and not just paraphrased! I enjoy watching your videos so much! Y'all are such an encouragement! Yahovah bless y'all!💜
I use shampoo I don’t like to clean my toilets. Eventually hard water builds up and I use CLR to cut through that. But I really like not wasting the shampoo that didn’t work out for me.
I clean my stainless steel with my homemade DIY cleaner- vinegar, water and a few drops of dish soap. I have heard people use oil after to add shine, but I don't do it.
Little bit of olive oil after you wipe stainless steel down works, but not as well as stainless steel spray. Don’t get spray on your floor...SO slippery on laminate wood-look floor.
For our fridge, I use a wet washcloth I keep at the sink to wipe off the prints and messes, then dry/big it lightly with a microfiber cloth I keep in a drawer next to the fridge. I used to work for a cleaning company that used sprays. They're a bit quicker, but this seems nearly as effective and no chemicals.
For more natural cleaners...I like Norwex bathroom cleaner for the toilet. It is enzyme based so it only takes a couple drops. For the shower I use 2/3 part water, 1/3 part Dr. Bonners Castile soap, and 5 to 10 drops therapeutic grade essential oils like "OnGuard". I have found this works better than the vinegar soap mixture. For stainless I have found that vinegar and water spray works well with a Norwex cloth. Then I dry with the Window cloth from Norwex. Thanks ladies for all your videos! Great job having the kids help.
For toilet cleaning, I use bar keepers friend and a pummis stone with gloves on, of course. However, I live alone and don't have the same level if activity as a family would. Also when I'm feeling depressed, brushing my teeth and cleaning the living room cheers me right up.
I still have my Flylady microfiber cloths too!💕 Diana, E Cloth makes microfiber cloths specially designed for stainless steel. All you use with them is hot water!
For years, I've been using equal parts vinegar and lemon juice, and 2 parts water. Lemon juice is not needed but it acts as a disinfectant so I always include it. It works like a charm, even in the toilet.
Really enjoying your channel. Recently discovered you guys. You and Tom are so cute and funny together and I love Diana’s prayers. I’m not religious- even considered myself an atheist, although I don’t tell anyone that because I want to believe. Listening to Diana is lighting a tiny light in me.
I agree, Diana makes Christianity seem so real and accessible. I love hearing her pray
Praise the Lord! 🙌
I don't mind if the Bible is actually translated or paraphrased. I just need it SIMPLE!!!💖

“It makes you feel pretty when you clean” Diana thank you for putting the feeling so well into words💕
How sweet that your daughter is mending your dad's shirts! And how amazing that she knows how to do it. That's really something nowadays! 🌞
Love the way your son vacuums.
@@jeanbutler2832 Me too! Like he's mowing a lawn! Whatever works!
I love the way you train your kids to clean and cook. VALUABLE!!!
The passion is really more of a paraphrase and not an actual interpretation of the Bible. Like the Message. Love your hearts for the Lord!
Yes it is a translation. I had the privilege of hearing Pastor Brian Simmons in person and we asked questions and he explained the work.

It's such a joy to see parents teaching their children life skills.
That made me go "Awe" too.
I use Bar Keeper's Friend (powder) for our sinks, toilets, and tubs. Works wonders on our rusty water.
You can also use a small amount on stainless steel. Works just as well as any “product”. For rust spots, get the finest grade steel wool and buff w grain using the barkeepers friend and water as a paste.
I tried it on the hard water stains but it didn't work.

Loved those days❤️❤️❤️. Yes cherish the time!
Aww, there's nothing like a newborn baby! Congratulations!
What a beautiful time!!! 🥰🥰🥰✨✨✨

@@saraareed5477 you can make a dishwasher detergent with it or just use their product. I'm happy to explain further.
And expensive! You can't use oils on so many surfaces and it is actually toxic to pets.. Not something I'd keep within a child's reach!
Just use washing soda and bicarb in the dishwasher and vinegar rinse. Or cut the tablets in half.
I just love you’re videos! We are currently renovating our house - it’ll still be small (we are in the Uk) but I’ve taken so much inspiration from your channel and I’m so excited to have a clutter free, minimal, happy home!!

Trying this!
We call it a toilet volcano to get the kids excited about cleaning the toilets! Baking soda and vinegar is the way to go

Thank you for the prayer🥲❤️🩹 even a year later the Lord is still using this...and it's still being prayed and brought me tears, I'm in my 30s and my health and body have been under attack for a year...I miss cleaning...which is why I'm watching. Knowing that you both are sisters in Christ was used today once again to encourage me and let me know that the Lord still is holding me. Thank you 💛
I use the Dawn Vinegar combo especially for the shower. Have used it in the toilet too but not for lime scale build up. It works for spot cleaning carpet too. If I decide to add water, I use distilled so as not to become gross when it is stored away.
Great video ladies as always! I would do a little more research into the Passion translation Bible before promoting it though.
Yes!
Thanks to those of you who recommended the pumice stone for the toilet. I'm going to try that! In the kitchen, I typically just use a bit of dish detergent to wipe things down. I do have a special cleaner for the ceramic top on my oven (what a game changer coming from horrible electric coils and those metal plate thingies underneath). I did recently start using diluted bleach in a spray bottle for my cutting boards. I bought reusable cloth things that act like Swiffer products for sweeping, mopping, and dusting. They are great. Amazon. For the bathroom, I am currently using comet on most things (bought it because it was cheap and we grew up with it) but don't know that its all that necessary - I'm sure a combo of soap and vinegar would do the trick. I don't pour any products down drains anymore - just get a drain snake and clean it all out. Also, microfiber cloths and a bit of water are all I need for windows and mirrors. For some cleaning, like the bathroom sink, I'll just take a bit of handsoap and a cloth. Love the cut up scotch brite scrubbers - my husband taught me that, and he got it from his mom. Smart!
The problem with pumice stone is they can scratch the finish on porcelain and other finishes.
I have been binge watching your videos for a couple months and I have loved ALL of them. It has been great to pick up some new ideas for minimalism and get motivated to continue the process even when it's challenging. I have been decluttering and simplifying for years now but there is always a more productive way or a helpful mindset shift to adopt. I love your positive attitude and practical tips, plus the faith-based chats are always encouraging. Thank you so much Dawn and Diana!
I have never cleaned while watching a "clean with me" video 😂
“The more simple we keep things the more apt we are to do it.” YESSSS! Truth!
JUDE'S MIRACLE CLOTH
AMAZING FOR WINDOWS, MIRRORS, STAINLESS STEEL APPLIANCES AND ANY CLEANING JOB YOU CAN IMAGINE!
NO STREAKS AND ONLY USES WATER!!!
CANT LIVE WITHOUT THESE!!!!!
Thanks for the practical tips. Great to see the whole family pitching in with the housework. And I always appreciate the humor and down to earth approach you have. Not to mention the fun thumbnail!
I love your videos! I have done professional housecleaning for almost 37 years. It’s true that having the right products make all the difference. The pumice stone is amazing for getting hard water lines out of toilets. A couple of thoughts on that, though. The pumice stone should be wet and also the toilet bowl,. I clean it first and flush. Also, on extremely old toilet bowls, be extremely careful because the pumice stone may leave scratches. If there is heavy lime buildup, Walmart sells a heavy duty pumice stone with the cleaning products. This works much better than the one sold with the beauty products.
Hi!! I was on top of the computer waiting for you to upload!! It's 14.30 here in Greece and I am ready to be inspired!!
I do appreciate you and your sister talking about the Lord , it’s very encouraging
Good Morning from Ontario. Thank you for also sharing Gods Love for us ! You are both a blessing to me and many others :)
Goid morning from Ontario as well.
Me too! Hello everyone!
Totally agree
Thank you! After watching this I cleaned out under my sink that really needed some weeding out of "unnecessaries". Also when I got distracted in the middle of that I did some weeding in the office. Now under my kitchen sink is organized, spare and easy to use. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I love Method products, too.
Love seeing your kids help with chores. Mine did, too. And it means they know what to do when they have their own homes. It also made me feel less overwhelmed when they were home.
Absolutely! It's our job to teach them how to do it themselves!
FYI- the Passion Bible is actually a paraphrase in the genre like the Message. It's not an actual translation. It's fine for inspiration but not for study.
Yes it is a translation prayerfully and diligently translated by a pastor and linguist.
But that's not the traditional meaning of "Biblical translation." It needs to go through a series of professionals and experts in the field, not just one person.
And your recommendation for a version that you can actually understand for study? Just for comparison...I need a current, up to date, easy to read version.
Christian Standard Bible by Holman is a readable and reliable version. You can find charts online with various versions and whether they are word for word translations or thought for thought. I find some versions in between these two to be the best, both easier to understand and reliable. However, I do like New Living Translation to be a good daily readable text.
New American Bible
Baking soda, vinegar and rubbing alcohol/peroxide are great cleaners
My career was in pharmacy and we kept a sterile field with rubbing alcohol- so now that I'm home with kids I clean my house with it too. I do also love vinegar for laundry, hard water, etc and peroxide for pee accidents (puppy and 3 year old).
I don’t clean with you but it does inspire me and I replay all your videos in the background while I clean and declutter! I use the Norwex envirocloth and window cloth for windows, mirrors, and stainless steel appliances! Zero chemicals and zero repurchasing. Highly recommend those 2 cloths the most. Envirocloth is for everything else too.
Thank you for sharing your faith.... I am always looking forward to these which inspires me throughout the week ❤
I am the only daughter and really enjoy watching you two together. I have always wanted a sister.
I enjoy your videos, but I like to keep housekeeping to a minimum on Sunday. Its so important, I think, to take time to really rest in the Lord, taking time to listen, to love, to adore God Our Father. I am so caught up in the impossible amount of stuff I need to do, I need to put that aside on Sunday to spend time loving my family and Jesus. Your Sunday videos inspire me. Blessings on you both.
This brought back memories of my older sister always "having to go to the bathroom" when the dish tray started to fill up...so I was always the one who dried all of the dishes. Never thought of getting her to put everything away!
I love my Norwex cleaning cloths. Microfiber cloths and just water! No chemicals...
Same!
Yes! Me too. They're amazing!
I was just using my Norwex glass cloth to clean the screen I’m watching this video on. ☺️
Yes, love the lavender one on stainless steel & glass.
me too! no Windex in years!
These sisters are so cute together. Their quick back and forth conversation is so typical of close sisters. Love to see it! 🙏🇺🇸
Thanks for being so down to earth and inspiring! We had bathtub and toilet emergency repairs- while I had to clear the counter I decided to think positive and try having the counter clear - gonna keep it clear for a month like you suggested and take it from there! 👍🏽
You and Diana are just the sweetest! Also, kudos for all the important skills you have taught your kiddos!
For toilets, I have used comet or bar keepers friend... baking soda and a little bit of vinegar would also work.
Stainless Steel, some people swear buy using dusting spray... weimans stainless steel cleaner is good too.
I started making myself only watch cleaning videos when I clean. I am obsessed with cleaning videos and would just sit and watch...I realized I needed to build a new habit ;)
Thanks for everything!
"It makes you feel pretty when you're cleaning".... LOVE IT!
It is coming back in style (white appliances). My sister-in-law mentioned that her parents had to pay more for white appliances because SS is now the standard. Who would have known. Great video ladies!!
I wanted a 2 bottom drawer fridge and it wasn't available in white at all.
I like my white appliances.
We needed a new fridge and all our appliances are white. We could not find a white one.
They are more expensive because stainless is all the rage 😏. I love white much better!
I use Therapy Stainless Steep Cleaner & Polish on my sink and appliances. I cleaned them first, with a drop of dish soap and lots of water on a microfiber, rinsed with a wet microfiber, dried them and then applied the polish. Now, I only polish them every couple of weeks. So much easier to maintain!
Ecloths are my absolute favorite for all cleaning, except inside the toilet bowl 😉...similar to norwex, but way cheaper. Each cloth has a specific use. No chemicals, that's the best part.
Norwex is worth the investment!
YES! Ecloth! I have both norwex and ecloth, and would never pay the $$$ for norwex, they work exactly the same. You want an easy clean stainless steal fridge? Get ye some microfiber! Quick wipe with just water, and done. No cleaner needed. The only places I use cleaner are the stovetop and bathrooms, and then I use the vinegar+dishsoap spray or barkeepers friend.
Ecloths give the shine you are looking for without using chemicals. Game changing! That’s all I use after I got pets and kids!!
Oh, and it does a great work on glass/mirrors too.
Meh I beg to differ. Ive had a long chat with Steve Pearson who created e-cloth. Their grade is less than half (therefore not picking up or killing germs inside it as there's no permanent silver). They used to have silver but it was dipped in a solution that would wash out.
By his own admission, he wanted cloths that were single purpose to buy more, like enjo.
Sure use ecloth for jobs that may damage your cloth.. Keep at least 3 Norwex to do majority of the long term grunt. Enviro = deep clean, window = shine bling! And dustmitt that picks up an incredible amount of dust, wet it clowns fly screens and cars.
E-cloth you'll get a couple of years before wear out. Norwex I get a good 6-10 years.
From a hygiene trainer doing glo germ tests and prof 5 star cleaner (in the past), Norwex kicks butt.
I love seeing your kids all helping with the cleaning! I wish more moms would teach their kids how to clean and do laundry.
Love Mrs. Meyer's scents! Gives me motivation to get going because they smell so good!
Love it especially Snowdrop🥰
We used to get mineral buildup in just a few days each time the toilet was cleaned, and it always had that faint ring at the water line. We added automatic toilet bowl cleaners to our tanks and now it takes over a month to get any kind of build up at all. They are a game changer.
You can't beat simple baby oil on stainless steal to make stainless steal look clean and brand new. My mum taught me to use that when she owned burger vans as her business.
I have put baby oil on my stainless steel fridge etc. and it works very well. The only problem is that I have a golden retriever dog and when he wags his tail and touches that fridge the hair stays on the fridge. Doesn’t look very good. One advantage to the baby oil is that, if you see fingerprints, you can give them a quick wipe with the back of your hand and they disappear. Now I prefer just using a microfibre cloth.
Hold up! Really!!!!🤯
Baby oil isn't good when kids are around. Kids put their hands in their mouth. Baby oil ingested is poisonous.
@@andmelinda that’s a very good reason to put it the bottle out of reach but I wouldn’t be worried about using it to lightly coat a stainless steel appliance. It would be impossible for a baby to be harmed by touching what is essentially a film of oil.
I use this, too! I get a gallon of food grade mineral oil on Amazon. I have bare butcher block countertops, so I oil them every month from the same mineral oil supply.
I need some "I feel pretty when I am cleaning!"🤣 you two are such a blessing! THANK YOU!!
I am trying to go to natural cleaners, love your vinegar and water for mirrors, dish soap and vinegar for bath and kitchen cleaning. Great ideas, good for the environment too. Thanks.
I always watch clean with me videos during my lunch break. I find them very calming! I don’t clean along with you but I do always write down any new tips that I may encounter. Also... I am super guilty of buying too many cleaning products. I have declared no more cleaning products until I finish absolutely every single product in our home.
I use my norwex cloths on my stainless steel. They are super easy, work great, and no chemicals!
Also E-cloths as an inexpensive alternative work great!
I use Limeaway from the Dollar Store for my toilets to get rid of the mineral build up. Squirt it around the rim and let it soak for awhile and then the toilet brush.
Diana: "Am I five? I don't know?" You are so sweet... Smiles and hugs.
I also use the old stand by my Mom always used, Comet to clean the inside The Toilet. On the other surface of the toilet I use the Method multi purpose you two use for the rest of the toilet!
Mrs Meyers does make me feel pretty when I clean !
Thank you for the prayer!! What a. Great way to start the day!!!
If you aren't already, y'all need to follow @cleanmyspace. Melissa & Chad are awesome. Melissa is a professional cleaner who hates to clean! How can you not appreciate that? She has the best tips, tricks & hacks. Oh! And their micro fiber cloths are unlike any other! Expensive... But definitely worth it!
Thanks for the tip!!
Great cleaning recipie resource.
Love that your have ended in prayer and are not afraid to show your faith
First of all, Dawn's comment "it makes you feel pretty while you clean" has been the most legit thing I've ever heard. This is exactly how I feel but never knew how to put it into words 🤣🤣.
I do not have stainless steel but I really like the norwex cleaners. Look into those for your stainless steel.
Diana, that was the most beautiful prayer today! I needed to hear every word of it. Thank you and God bless you both and your families. 🙏🏻❤️
We are following Fr Mike Schmitz's Bible in a Year Podcast. It's great. 🙂 love you ladies! +
Love Father Mike
So am I. Father Mike has a great way of explaining the Bible as I struggle with that often. I also have been reading along with The Great Adventure Bible and really love that. The research that Jeff Calvins has done and put into the Bible is phenomenal. He lays it out like a storyline and really emphasizes how the two books are connected to each other.
@@ashleykonechne9697 Absolutely agree,, Jeff Calvins is amazing!
I so agree. They are both so good.
Me too! He is fantastic and on TH-cam also.
Diana, I discovered (by accident) my Norwex Window rag cleans appliances like a charm! Just water and wipe it down. I’ve used it on the dishwasher, refrigerator, front of stove and microwave! Looks brand new!!
We always cut our scrub pads too! My mom always did that.
Hi thought I might share some toilet cleaning info since you asked. I am in a hard water area too but the most important thing is not to damage the glaze on your toilet. If you scrub a tea cup with abrasive it stains much quicker. Same with the toilet, so no pumice stone ever! You need to remove all limescale with a limescale remover constantly. Also I use a "pot" brush one of the longer ones not a round one toilet brushes are horrid far too abrasive. Pot brushes are cheep too keep it in a vase in a cupboard. Happy cleaning! ps if stained below water line you have a limescale build up remove the water and leave to soak with a remover. My favourite is Kilrock on Amazon super strong wear gloves x
The stone you were talking about works but it does scratch the surface. Then dirty things want to cling more to it.
True, but it does work. Our water is hard, and I will look at other ideas, for sure, but the stone works for now. :)
I did wonder about that.
I learned about using the pumice stone when I had a job doing commercial cleaning. It works well, but doesn't get into the crevices well. I've used a little piece of drywall screen that's metal for getting into the crevices of the toilet.
Pumice stone shouldn't scratch if wet. At least that's what I learned from a commercial cleaner
@@valeriehansen1120 Drywall screen definitely scratches, I’ve used it too.
I love using natural cleaners for everything and I mainly use Young Living Thieves Oil Household Cleaner for all of our cleaning, from countertops to toilets... but when toilets need a little extra cleaning umph (especially when I lived where there was hard water), The Works Toilet Bowl Cleaner is/was my go-to! It really works! I use to have a cleaning busines and that is what I used for toilets that the owners had spent YEARS trying to get rid of hard water stains and such... it cut it and they were amazed!
My mom also taught us to cut scrubbing pads in half!😂
I love white appliances!😍 We recently were finally able to replace our black/stainles steel fridge with white and we'll be replacing our stove soon!
I think it's great that your daughter is able to mend your Dad's shirts! 🥰 Reminds me of my sisters... and also reminds me that I need to teach my daughter how to sew a button on!😬😂
I am going to check The Passion Bible out. I love that it is a translation and not just paraphrased!
I enjoy watching your videos so much! Y'all are such an encouragement! Yahovah bless y'all!💜
I use shampoo I don’t like to clean my toilets. Eventually hard water builds up and I use CLR to cut through that. But I really like not wasting the shampoo that didn’t work out for me.
I learned that from Flylady - do the same in shower and tub too.
Or I use unused body wash or shampoo in my hand soap dispenser. Like Flylady says, soap is soap!
Haha! Awesome, soap IS soap!
Never heard of this before! I somehow have 3 extra bottles of shampoo. Gonna try this next time I need to clean the toilets
I LOVEEE when sister is on the channel and shares the word of God! 💜
I clean my stainless steel with my homemade DIY cleaner- vinegar, water and a few drops of dish soap. I have heard people use oil after to add shine, but I don't do it.
I wanted to tell them the same thing. Works great. Little bit of oil after 🪄
Little bit of olive oil after you wipe stainless steel down works, but not as well as stainless steel spray. Don’t get spray on your floor...SO slippery on laminate wood-look floor.
For our fridge, I use a wet washcloth I keep at the sink to wipe off the prints and messes, then dry/big it lightly with a microfiber cloth I keep in a drawer next to the fridge. I used to work for a cleaning company that used sprays. They're a bit quicker, but this seems nearly as effective and no chemicals.
I use 50/50 vinegar and water on my stainless steel also, works great.
@@01Paulsgirl y
For more natural cleaners...I like Norwex bathroom cleaner for the toilet. It is enzyme based so it only takes a couple drops. For the shower I use 2/3 part water, 1/3 part Dr. Bonners Castile soap, and 5 to 10 drops therapeutic grade essential oils like "OnGuard". I have found this works better than the vinegar soap mixture. For stainless I have found that vinegar and water spray works well with a Norwex cloth. Then I dry with the Window cloth from Norwex. Thanks ladies for all your videos! Great job having the kids help.
Look up on TH-cam Mike Wingers take on the passion translation 🥰
Amen! Love him!
Agreed!
You two are so fun and real! You make me smile. :-) I love that you keep asking people for ideas for more eco-friendly options.
I never even warm my vinegar/dawn mixture. It even works when it's room temperature!
For toilet cleaning, I use bar keepers friend and a pummis stone with gloves on, of course. However, I live alone and don't have the same level if activity as a family would.
Also when I'm feeling depressed, brushing my teeth and cleaning the living room cheers me right up.
I still have my Flylady microfiber cloths too!💕
Diana, E Cloth makes microfiber cloths specially designed for stainless steel. All you use with them is hot water!
For years, I've been using equal parts vinegar and lemon juice, and 2 parts water. Lemon juice is not needed but it acts as a disinfectant so I always include it.
It works like a charm, even in the toilet.
