Girl at this point the apartment building owes YOU a security deposit and cleaning fee 😭😭😭
immediately!
I know that’s right
RIGHT!!!!
It’s sad but whoever dose the cleaning at all apartments don’t know the meaning of clean fr
I just moved in to an apartment, yesterday actually. They charge a security deposit and cleaning fee. Before moving in we noticed that it was DISGUSTING and mold in a few places. We had the cleaning lady come back, it smelt like she cleaned but we saw absolutely no difference. It’s like she sprayed Lysol then left. Hence why I’m here 💀
I own a cleaning business! Move in / move out cleanings are so essential to making sure you’re living in a fresh, clean environment ❤
i wish my landlord hired u 😅
Great job - you cleaned places most people would never think of cleaning. Very motivating!!
Thank you!! 😊
I know you're a cleaning queen, but the best thing I ever started doing was paying a local, woman-owned small business cleaning crew to go into my new spaces and give them a thorough deep clean. It was a game changer.
love that u support your local community. perhaps ill look into it for my next move.
Excellent idea!
I like doing it myself because I need to see the dirt and see that I removed all the things etc I have sensory problems lmao
Thank you for letting us know this all didn’t happen in one day. That’s very encouraging! 🥰
Youre very welcome!
I've never met anyone who would go to the trouble of cleaning their dishwasher to that extent! Especially in a rented house or apartment. You're a BEAST! That was inspirational and disgusting. 😉
Girlll you on a whole other level, I been livin Nasty moving into these apartments. NOT NO MOE!!!!!! You got me cleaning on a chill day.
I’m young & moving into my first apartment after living in hotels for the past 3 years and I came across this video . I needed this so bad I’m big on energy & cleansing & this cleaning routine will have me on the right track to do so & freely enjoy my new home 🥰 !!!
glad to hear you have a place to call yours now. im proud of u 💕
@@abetweene thank you so much 🥹
This video was amazing!!!! It helped me understand there are more environmentally friendly ways to clean. I always have assumed they don't clean as well. I really enjoyed watching it WORK!! You make it look easy, but I know it takes a ton of energy. I would love more deep cleaning videos!!!
thank u so much!! 😊 glad u found it helpful. I’ll definitely do more 💕
Do I need to clean? Yes. Will I watch someone else clean as “inspiration” despite needing to clean? Yes
every time!
I used to manage apartments for years. I wouldn’t let an apartment get rented like this. However, I always did a walk-through with a checklist and went through with new residents moving in, because I wanted to make sure they were happy upon move-in. If they felt something wasn’t clean, I’d either clean it myself (if it was 1 or 2 things that would take me 20 minutes or less to complete) or get the cleaners to come back, if there were more items that the resident wasn’t happy with. Most of the time, the cleaners will come back for free, if the resident (or myself) is not happy with the cleanliness upon move in, at least with the companies I used. I would send the cleaners back with what needs to be redone. Apartment managers pay companies to come and clean, so please let your manager know if they need to come back. This helps out the manager and the management of the cleaning companies (or helps the housekeeping staff, if they have their own housekeepers). This helps the cleaners understand the expectations of the residents and management as well. I’ve managed properties in all different areas, but my standards were the same at new apartments and apartments that were built decades prior. Please communicate with your rental office, if the cleanliness is not to your standards. However, I did enjoy watching this video, thank you!
Please part two. I’m moving next month and just got a Bissel steam shot in preparation. A full checklist would be phenomenal
i gotchu sis
Who ever gets apartments AFTER you! 🎉🎉🎉 Blessings!!!!
I could watch you clean all day. ✨
😊
People should do this more often... if at all, because I know people who certainly don't check, ever.
Thanks for a great informative and calming video, as always!
Also: the loofa. Yes! My granmother and her mother used it in the kitchen, it was super cheap and effective.
Scrolling through my recommended videos and I just know my phone be in my business. 😭😭 I’m getting ready to move and I was planning on wiping everything down, cleaning the carpets, and steam moping the floors. It’s ESSENTIAL AND NECESSARY to do this beforehand, because you definitely showed how unclean clean can look and be.
giving us satisfying cleaning clips AND educating us?? girl this video is god sent!! thank you so so much for this!!
Part 2 please ! This was soooo satisfying! Took me back to when we moved into this house three years ago….it was (somewhat) visually clean but in reality sooo deep down filthy 😵💫. I cleaned and cleaned but we have since replaced literally everything but the washer and dryer.
part 2 coming soon! glad u were able to replace almost all of it. that musta been a big relief
Congrats on your new place A 🥰🥰🎉 and I'm here for the tips but especially the calm and soothing that cleaning brings👌👌😊. Kudos for the list too 🤗.
Thank you so much 🤗
Girl you are a godsend!! I literally just watched another video that was a move in clean like this. And I was lie this is cool, like good cleaning and tips etc but it was A TON of products and mostly Clorox. I was like dang I need an eco friendly, mostly non toxic cleaning person to watch and learn from. Literally was starting to fold laundry and decided to play something. I was scrolling on TH-cam under the move in clean search and came across yours. I don't know what drew me to your video but it definitely didn't have eco friendly clean plastered on it. But anyway I started watching it and literally subscribing, ai swear by Dr. Bronners and I love that you point out what we can use like loofah(never thought to consider compressed loofah as a sponge alternative). Or that fact you use mostly soap, specifically dr.bronners and vinegar and baking soda. Of course there are other products you use but nothing harsh and extreme! Absolutely captivated and ready to learn to clean on this level.
glad i could help 🤗 yesss, i swear by Dr. Bronners cause when u know, u know! Now im thinking i should add eco friendly to the title 🤔 Lol
now this is a deep clean that’s what i’m talking about👏🏽
0:35 Fun fact: You can actually take off the oven door without unscrewing anything. Just put back the silver latches on either side and the oven door lifts right off.
That’s the cleanest dirty water I ever seen lol (after cleaning the oven). Thank you for doing this video. Some of us need this help and didn’t get it at home.
oh thay was just the final rinse from the citric acid & water. i didnt show the dirty soap water lol. happy to help 💕
the screwdriver truck! I’ve never used citric acid for cleaning but I’m going to have to get some, that shine is great
u wont regret it 😏
I loved how well you explained everything. I was never taught how to clean things with natural products so I have definitely been using things wrong. MUCH LOVE!!
youre very welcome!
Please let us know how to clean, sanitize, and reuse the cleaning clothes 🙏🏽. Love, love, love the content you put out 🙏🏽
Will do!!
Didn't realize how much I like cleaning content until recently - certainly makes it easier when doing so and this is a great example for future tenants everywhere. NICE
When you were pulling stuff out of your dishwasher that looked like hair, I was so grossed out but couldn't look away😵💫! Definitely inspired to do a deep clean of my rental!
I love this…. I was not taught much about cleaning growing up… so this is lifesaving thank you❤❤❤❤❤
yw! ♥️
i'm about to move into my new apartment at the end of this month, so i'm really glad i came across your video!
congrats! hope this helps
I’ve been loving this cleaning series! Thank you for making the videos
Glad you liked it 💕
the way the things you do just make sense
the way dirt just gets everywhere is insane
❤Please continue with a part 2! You cleaned things I would’ve never thought of.
Fuego. This reminds me of the time before kids when I used to clean my toilets with Q-tips. Now, I go by progress (my mom used to always say "at least it's better than how it was").
I am enlightened: you use straight EO, among other products and methods that I've wanted and haven't gotten into (steam cleaning being one of them). A zero waste blogger gave me many ideas for this.
Would you make a video on how you do laundry? We also use all natural products in our home and I haven’t found a good way of removing stains, and even your cleaning rags look new! ❤ Congrats on the new place
Will do!! and thank u 💕
Love this!! Finally finished deep cleaning both bathrooms in my new place, prior to viewing this. I appreciate the guides in how to tackle so much more 💯✨
More pleaseeee🤤❤️This is the content I didn’t know I needed fr! You did that girl👏🏾
I am SO glad I found you. I am moving into a co-op in a month. The same woman lived in it for 30 years. I can’t afford to renovate the bathroom yet and I am so skeeved out. I need to DEEEEEP clean!!!
30 years?! May your hands be blessed and fridge full of energy drinks 👍
Please continue!! You gave so many great tips. I'm inspired to re-clean my home with this deep cleaning process!
Will do!
Please continue! I love the cleaning videos.
Will do!!
I love taking an extra adderall and getting really into cleaning. My apartment is spotless and I try to keep it that way. Guests must take shoes off before walking into the threshold of the front door, vacuum every 3 days, etc
love your cleaning skills
Thanks
i love these videos! they’re so relaxing
We were so blessed to move into a newly remodeled apt so we got to rip new plastic but this is my least favorite adulting task. This is a good video for spring cleaning as well.
congrats!
Omg this was so satisfying! I really want that steamer. And the soap. And the oil. And the sponges. And the rags! Omgaaaawd❤
I'm moving in three weeks. I am dreading the big clean at both places. Your landlord should give you a cleaning credit - it should not have been that dirty!
had i been able to address it sooner, probably but its too late now unfortunately.
Part 2 please!!! You actually got me so hyped to clean 😂
Great content, Thanks! Such a calming voice to talk us through cleaning ALL THE THINGS! 🤣🫧
yw! 💕
I love that you are so eco-friendly, keep doing great!
Thank you so much for making this video!! I'm moving into my first apartment soon and this is a super helpful checklist :) I'm so motivated to clean up my parents house before I leave. Ur awesome
youre so welcome! good luck ♥️
Please do part 2. You inspired me to deep cleaning my house!
Coming soon!
I'm moving into a small house that had roaches and pet waste masked by toxic cleaners, and a fresh coating of paint to hide the filth. I want to throw all the essential oils and citric acid at it as much as I can. I'm not sure how to properly treat hardwood flooring. That's going to be interesting to clean my current house for the next tenant and the new one that needs a lot of TLC.
good luck with the move. it sounds like a lotta work but you also sound very prepared. i havent tried it yet but hear linseed soap is good on hardwood.
Hoping to secure my first apartment on Monday!! Will keep this saved for then
good luck🤞
The previous tenants of my current apartment left this place immaculate. The only issue was that when they filled in the holes and painted them, it was the wrong shade of white and the landlord never repainted (that’s the landlord’s fault)
But I was surprised when I went to clean the oven’s vents and they were spotless. Same thing with the oven, bathtub, dishwasher, fridge, and cabinets. She wanted that security deposit back 😂
Lol, a blessing to you and her bank acct!
So satisfying. I am subscribing so I don't miss the part 2 because this is inspirational!
this was so satisfying to watch wow
I am about to move next month and although I consider myself an excellent housekeeper, I never thought to do some of that stuff.
Wow! Amazing job. Thanks for all the great tips!
thanks!
The efforts you and your team put into your 'collective wisdom' is awesome and sure, one time go-around is quick in editing post video to consumer consumption....great messaging, ps baked-on factory enamel can come off bc most off-shore manufacturers are told to make p/obsolenses when in fact, the American consumer wants too pay more for better quality. Always questioning quality over quantity.
I love watching others clean like I do. ☺️
I loved how you cleaned your oven. I have to make a note of this.
thanks!
Good that my apartment didnt have a kitchen and zero furnitures had to buy everything brand new. Pro is that you only need deep cleaning for the floor, windows etc. because everything else is new, contra is that its expensive to buy every single piece of furniture new yourself, plus a new kitchen.
That much baking soda residue could mean there was a fire in that oven (so keep that in mind if the oven breaks it could be damage from the possible fire)
thanks for the heads up
Ugh this makes sad I live with roommates, I want to do this but I know how they are and won’t keep shit that way. Can’t wait to get my own house. 😢
It doesn’t matter though cause I am obsessed with your videos! Also I need a steamer! 😍
i kno its frustrating when pple u live with dont share your ideals, so the best u can do is to only focus on what u have control over. You have full reign of your bedroom, so take pride in that and itll make it that much more satisfying when u get a home of your own.
I think cleaning videos are becoming my new asmr 😊 I have a question though for things you used vinegar for could you use citric acid instead? Are they interchangeable or only for certain things you clean?
yes, they’re interchangeable 👍
literally moving in monday to my first apartment. you just answered all my questions
congratulations! Did u get your keys yet?
Yes Perfect because I’m getting ready to move! It’s a new build imma still clean tho aye 😊
congratulations!
this was so sooothing to watch! 💆🏿🙌🏿
I love it. you did it so thoroughly. It was so satisfying to watch.
ty!
The screwdriver truck!!!! 😍
isnt it adorable?!? ☺️
@@abetweene it is!!!! Lol I immediately went to the description but alas sold out. 🤧
If everyone would maintain cleanliness, I swear the life quality of people would be improved immensely. Because it doesn't take a lot of time to do it.
You should have your own Amazon store set up so people can low-key stalk you there, too ;).
i think i have an old amazon storefront but i cant update it 😆
Sooo can I have you as a tenant or a mom? Jesus I never learned about cleaning properly thank you for being a lifesaver
youre welcome dear
love the longer videos. thank you!!
yw!
i get icks deep cleaning with towels and rags bc i just can't stand looking and the dirt,, i just want to throw it away immediately. Do you just rinse off the dirt on the rags or toss them in the wash?
I grab clean towels often while cleaning, so i go threw a lot and wash them after.
PSA about the microwave cleaning!! If the liquid is heated too long without being disturbed, it can “super heat” which means it will boil internally without any visual indicators. As soon as it’s disturbed by either dipping a rag in it or even moving the glass, the boiling will immediately rise to the surface and explode. That’s why you aren’t supposed to heat coffee (or anything really) for long periods without stirring inbetween. This is specifically a microwave issue, not necessarily oven or other heating appliance. PLEASE be careful!! So many people have been sent to the ER for this very reason.
Thanks for the warning! ⚠️
Yes we need Part 2,3,4…. all the parts!
coming soon!
you're so smart
thats very kind, thank u
citric acid? I've never heard of this before, but i need some because it cleans wonderfully. When you cleaned that grungy dishwasher? Makes me happy I do not have one! Thanks for the education, because I had no idea some of those lids and and openings even existed. Have a great weekend, Ariane. 🧽💗
its naturally occuring in citrus fruits. couldnt recommend it more, youll love it. I was definitely questioning whether id even use that diswasher just so i dont have to clean it ever again, lol 😅 enjoy your weekend!
@@abetweene I enjoyed watching the oven cleaning, but I admit the dishwasher made me feel a bit sick. I guess I assumed a dishwasher would be clean lol. I will definitely add citric acid to my cleaning supplies. Thank you!
This is impressive, your cleaning stuff I didn’t even know existed
thanks!
Part 2 the same length video please 🥺
bookmarking this for when i move to my college apartment in a few weeks :)
My perfectionism loves this video
This is so therapeutic. You said you didn't do this all in one day, can you share about how long it took? Would that estimate be different if you weren't filming? 😂
glad u enjoyed 😌 im not sure exactly since filming adds on extra time but i basically dedicated 2-4 hrs per project. the laundry area i completed all at once, as well as the sink, garbage disposal, and dishwasher, but the oven and microwave were done individually on seperate days.
@@abetweene thank you for this. cleaning can be so overwhelming but this breakdown helps 🙏
This gave me peace.
this video brought me so much joy thank you
my pleasure 💕
Girl, the way you were cleaning you would think it was Covid day one!!!! But i love it. lol Stole some ideas for my next apartment 🤣
Ooo that plastic peel ✨SATISFYING✨
So gross, so nasty ,so disgusting , but that cleaning was soo satisfying. Everything you do on your channel, my eyes are glued.
Girl that little truck tool box took me oooout
😄
That apartment was absolutely filthy. Hopefully you were aware of its condition before signing or they at least gave you a good price on rent. You made it look amazing and I enjoyed how you explained chemically why you were using certain reagents.
The property was supposed to be cleaned prior to move-in, so it was unfortunately an oversight on their part.
Watching this because I’m moving out and thought about cleaning it myself because I love cleaning but now I’m wondering if I should just hire someone 😂 after the movers I just don’t have the time for all this. Kinda wish I did though ❤
I overlapped my leases so Id have ample time to clean (even though it didnt work out lol)
if theres no gap between your end and start dates, definitely hire a professional. Dont stress yourself out
Great video! I absolutely loved. Keep it coming please. Thank you❤
Thank you!
That’s is so crazy I would have thought the place was clean before. So scared to see my place 😮
mad crazy
Could your screwdriver kit be any cuter?
I couldn't even wait til the end of the video to comment. This was awesome! How do you sanitize/clean the cloths that you use for cleaning? I didn't think you were a bleach girly, but the white cleaning cloths are definitely a bold choice. If bleach is not involved...I need the deets!
ill show the process in the next segment 😉
Part 2 please! I just moved in my place and I need help!!!!
LOVED this!!
QUESTION for you love: When do you decide to use vinegar vs. citric acid?? Don't they do the same thing?
yes they do. i always use citric acid on chrome specifically but you can interchange them as you wish. Sometimes i even just use it to avoid the smell of the vinegar if im not in the mood for the odor.
@@abetweene ooooh! Ok cool beans! Thanks for sharing love!
If you're lazy/ have money to burn, then you can hire a cleaner to do it for you! Naturally, do research before you hire. After moving into 3 apartments, the next one will have to be cleaned by someone else lol
