    Girl I put eucaliptus and lemon eo in my all purpose cleaner and now I just want to be cleaning ALL THE TIME. Also, I mix baking soda very regularly with my dish soap to clean greasy tupperware and cooking tools. I keep a spray bottle with just vinegar for harder greasy areas and alcohol with distilled water for disinfecting. That's all I use in my kitchen, and oh, how good it smells now💜

    My absolute favorite is just water, vinegar, dish liquid and tea tree and/or lavender essential oils. I mix it up at varying ratios depending on what or where I'm cleaning. I haven't bought any disinfectant, multi purpose, bathroom or floor cleaners for years.

    Like everybody, I started watching your channel accidentally. I’m in that category which thinks that knows to clean like a professional. I have my own tricks and homemade combinations of products. Little by little you conquered me. I borrowed some techniques, but I resisted to try your DIY CLEANERS. I live in Spain, so some cultural differences must be responsible. But I’m glad that you like our invention, the Castile Soap. In the end, thanks to you, I looked for information about sodium percarbonate. I understood its chemistry. I started to test it and I had a shock. My dear, I used the most corrosive products, like caustic soda or hydrochloric acid. And I don’t need it anymore!!!! I stop buying 14 cleaning products! Lady, you have a vision. And you changed mine. Thank you!
    BTW. I unsubscribed all the other cleaning channels. I preserve only yours.

    When COVID came in to Australia last year, we had difficulty getting cleaning products & rubbing alcohol. So I got online & found out that Witch Hazel was a good alternative. So I bought a big lot of it for my family & neighbours. Since I still have some left I am using it with cleaning vinegar & a couple of drops of essential oils to do almost everything.

    Your videos are awesome. I used a mixture of 1 gallon of water, 1/4 cup of distilled vinegar and tablespoon of Dawn dish soap and cleaned my linoleum floors. Wow, they came out so clean and the bucket of water mix was so dirty. Also used same mix in spray bottle and clean the bathroom mirror and wiped it with a paper towel and no streaks. Thank you so much for your info.

      I use this after my bath every night. Just squirt a little dish soap on a scotch brite tub scrubber and then shake a little baking soda atop from a cute, little glass shaker jar. Keeps the tub sparkling clean at all times....love this mixture. Thanks, Melissa for sharing this great recipes.

    furniture dusting spray---1/2 t. olive oil, 1 t. vinegar, 1/2 c distilled water, 2 drops dish soap, 5 drops lemon oil---This stuff is fantastic. Just spray onto a flannel cloth and polish furniture. I buy discounted flannel fabric and cut into squares so I can discard when dirty.

    I tried your grout cleaner recipe today and it was incredible! So simple and yet so effective! Our grout was a bit neglected and not getting clean with the store bought cleaners I've tried. So I tried the baking soda and hydrogen peroxide combo today and followed your directions regarding application and dwell time. Worked like a charm! Thanks! :)

    Loving your videos. I make all of my cleaning products as well. For an all purpose cleaner I use vinegar and a tsp of dawn in a spray bottle. I also put this mixture in a dish sponge wand. I clean the tub and shower with that after I take a shower then dry the walls and shower pan or tub for that beautiful shine. I clean the bathroom sink with that as well. I use baking soda to clean the toilet bowl and rubbing alcohol to clean the rest of the toilet with. I use rubbing alcohol to clean my mirrors, windows and screens with. My kitchen sink I use baking soda and cinnamon, give a good scrub, rinse and dry. I do a lot of tidy through out the day but find deep cleaning a room a day really keeps me on top of things. I have become a minimalist this past year and have let go 40 percent of my items. I have to say this sure does make keeping my home clean so much easier and more enjoyable to clean.

    The one I use the most is the window cleaner and your stone cleaner (1 part rubbing alcohol to 3 part water with dish soap and essential oils). The rubbing alcohol makes me feel better when I’m cleaning the bench especially where I prepare food. It also makes it streak free! 😊 I’m going to try that shower spray now since I have white tiles.

    I googled how to clean a mirror without streaking and your Rachel Ray appearance showed up. I've been watching your videos for the last 72 hours. I had no idea the microfiber cloth my mom gave me last year for my car to wipe the dust, could be used for so much more and oh how it cleans!!! Sometime after that, I did manage to pick up another cloth at the store for dusting around the house. But that was the extent of my knowledge. Until I watched your videos, which leads me to go to your channel and get educated! I wrote down the cleaning recipes DIY and made the grout, all-purpose, and mirror cleaners. I've cleaned my shower, bathtub, bathrooms, toilets, baseboards, and master bedroom, kitchen, stove, fridge, microwave, Washer and Dryer, Office desk, doors, walls, and just now the Dishwasher and trash can in 72 hours! Whew! My back and muscles aching, I couldn't be more peaceful and happy! I was overwhelmed each time I cleaned before because it was so hard doing just the simple everyday things, I just did it half hazard way. I never got to the harder stuff like baseboards, trash can, vents, blinds, Vaccum or desk chair, or the legs on the nightstands! Boy oh boy did that all change these last 3 days! I used your DIY cleaners, let items pre-soak, wipe clean! OMG!!!! So simple! I followed your cleaning method 3 waves, the clock, top to bottom. I have been reenergized and now I see something and bam! clean it! i.e. garage freezer, garage entry door, and the light switch were so filthy, not anymore baby!!! Once my back feels better I already have more cleaning projects planned! Thank you guys for sharing your knowledge and I can't wait to purchase your cloths.

    Thank you so much for this! I have been buying the $1 hand soap(most of the ones I buy are citrus based) at my local Joann's fabric store for years and will likely not run out until 2024. I bought two foaming hand soaps at the Dollar Tree, $1 each, one for each bathroom. When the original soap was gone, I dilute the hand soap from Joann's 50/50 with water and add my favorite essential oil which happens to be Elia's Fight It, which smells very much like Young Living's Thieves.

    I've got a tip for you guys! You should use boiled water. Boil it, set it to cool until it's room temperature and then use it in your DIY's as normal :) boiling the water kills the germs and bacteria in the water. I personally feel better using boiled water than just tap.

    Hey Guys!! Thanks so much for the awesome recipes!! I have a great stain lifter/cleaner!! I found that it lifts red clay mud, blood, marker, condiment stains, and any type of pet stains... it’s hydrogen peroxide & a tablespoon of dawn dish soap (that’s the only one I’ve found that works the best. The original blue dawn). I have seen other recipes that add water but I don’t. I find that the peroxide and soap undiluted make for the best ultimate stain lifter!! Thanks to you Clean My Space, Melissa and Chad, for inspiring, motivating, & helping us keep our spaces clean! ☮️

    For granite or marble counter tops: Mix 1/4 cup rubbing alcohol, a few drops of Dawn and fill the rest of the spray bottle with water. Shake it well and spray onto counter tops. After leaving it for a few minutes, wipe it down with a rag and then follow up with a micro-fiber cloth. It makes counter tops sanitized and very shiny!

    This is a good list, the only thing is when you mix vinegar and baking soda, it causes a chemical reaction that ends up neutralizing them both (one is acid one is alkaline) and they just produce carbon dioxide. Separately they can work great, just doesn't do anything when mixed together.

    Hello, I love your videos, so practical and useful. They also inspire me to clean! A little thing to be aware of however is that tea tree oil can be toxic even fatal to dogs. In the concentrations you use it’s unlikely to be a problem, but spills happen so it’s best to be aware.

      Tea tree oil is toxic to cats and dogs as well as quite a few essentual oils. I have five indoor cats so have stopped using so many things I love to keep my cats safe. Google lists of safe and unsafe essentual oils for cats and dogs. Some of my very favorites are not safe. I'm so sad about that but my cats are family to me. I have also stopped using bleach. I have all white bedding in both bedrooms but found out bleach isn't good for my septic tank system and it also toxic. I now use hot water with hydrogen peroxide and Arm & Hammer washing detergent. I soak my whites for several hours and wash. Amazingly, they turn out as white as they did when I used bleach. If the whites are extra soiled I will soak them overnight. I was using white vinegar in the washer's final rinse cycle but read several articles that it can damage rubber washer parts as well as dishwasher parts. Darn! I use white vinegar for cleaning and full strength in a spray bottle as a natural room spray. It absorbs rather than masks any odors. I recently had five cats, a mother dog and ten puppies inside my small home for nine weeks. I never knew how dirty and smelly puppies can be once mama dog is finished nursing and cleaning them. Oh my gosh! It really put my white vinegar spray to the test! I still have five cats. I use Tractor Supply Pine Pellets in their litter boxes. It only costs $5 for a 40 pound bag and is wonderful. I tried so many litter products before I settled on the pellets. Plus, they are safe for the environment which clay litter products are not. I've been trying to become more environmentally concerned and also use non-toxic products to help keep myself, family and pets healthier.

    Melissa, now that I have kids I can’t stand cleaning.☺️ You have shared so many great cleaning tips, I have been able to use leaving me stress free and getting my cleaning done quickly. I have a finished wood kitchen island, what (DIY) product do you suggest I use to clean and disinfect it with? Thank you for all your knowledge.

  • @JanniGuldeIversen
    @JanniGuldeIversen 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    My favorite cleaning recepie must be combination of baking soda and vinegar to remove discolouration. Be it a stubborn curry stain on my counter top or the nasty marks of urine under the toilet seat, baking soda and vinegar in combination with a trusty cleaning toothbrush has yet to let me down :)
    I learned it from you, and was even able to impress my Mother in Law with it - she is a fan of it too now :)

    • @mireillenicolecoaching
      @mireillenicolecoaching 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      The ones that include water usually last somewhere between 2 - 4 weeks (4 weeks is is pushing it, tho...). They start smelling "off" after a while! Tip: make small batches and use super easy recipes that aren't a pain in the behind to refill regularly! Hope this helps :)

    After making one of these recipes, how long will they last? Do you need to make it every time you want to clean something or can you keep it in a cool dry place for a couple of months?

    Question: how long the cleaners in the spray bottles last? I have the impression you do small quantities instead of bigger batches to store?
    And the cleaners in the little containers, are they done just for each one time application?
    Thank you for the video, simple stuff and very useful!

    I love the idea of making my own cleaning products, especially laundry detergent. But, and this is a big but, my washer does not have a dispenser. I have to put detergent in the washer before adding clothes. How do I use/where do I add home made detergent to my washer?
    I only have a built in dispenser for adding bleach. TIA!
