Every one dumps clutter and paperwork on my counters including me. What's a tip for this? Seriously?
Awesome info as always!! Would you mind doing a video in the future about the wood utensils care (applying the oil to the utensils)and how to seal grouts? Thanks you very much!
Where do you keep your keurig?
I store my drink wares mouth side up. Also, in the dishwasher I load the utensils handles up so that my hands don’t touch the part that will touch our mouths, this information is in Food Safety if anyone wants to check it out.
GG 77x7 create a landing space for paperwork and those other items. Look up the Sunday Basket system for paperwork, install hooks for keys, etc. Make it easy to put things away.
I like to have the things I use every day out on the counter for easy access and easy cleanup! But I don't like decorations on the counters I cook on, I feel they take up valuable workspace!
amlafontaine very true
I love big space for my kitchen too
I'm disabled with a 5lbs weight limit. It's so hard for me to keep my toaster, coffee pot and my canisters in a cabinet. Even though I don't like it I have to deal with it.
GREAT video as always CMS.
God bless you all ❤ XOXO
Side note, your hair looks so beautiful and healthy
I keep my counters clear...it gives me peacefulness to my mind,develops interest in cooking,.thanks for your tips Melissa
Granted I’m 75, but we always stored grease in a can in the freezer and threw the frozen can away on garbage day-a no-no for compost. (Clear counters works best for me.)
I do the same, I drain all fat into a tall take out plastic soup container, kept in my fridge, then if needed I'll freeze it then throw away. Depending on the type of fat, sometimes it doesn't need to be frozen.
Linda Long 👍🏻
I do the same thing.
Linda Long I throw mine outdoors, the dog loves it 😂😂😂😂
Diana Bahaha!!!
Mellissa I love you! Almost 60years old and I did not think I would have loved to listen to one of my "kids" tell me how to do it! Well I'm addicted to you! You are clear concise and you can give your views to this OR nurses, and, she love to take it in! (very rare because OR nurses are some of the most hard headed, been there, done that type of people you would ever meet). I am taking my cleaning tools down to the essential...B.soda, vinegar, dish soap, rubbing alcohol and ?hydrogen peroxide. I no w have that extra support to my cleaning tasks to make me feel all the effort is worth it! Thank You! Also I told my sister about you and she said she hired your company when you first stared out in Toronto so my love for you was meant to be!!!! Thank U, Cheryl :)
Happy Friday CMS Nation!
@@squidward6743 drano, lye, or get a snake for sinks. if those don't work call a plumber
@@squidward6743 oh and sometimes a plunger works
I was trying to figure the best way I could ask you to please make a video on deep cleaning a countertop oven. I have an air fryer convection oven and the inside of it is not stainless steel. It’s that scratchable aluminum material. Now there are these yellow stains that won’t come off with dish soap.. and I can’t scrub too much or it will scratch. Help?
@@brooklynringer9623 fine sandpaper maybe?
I live on Maui, and store them all upside down, so geckos do not get in them and poop - I do always wipe the rim and the inside of the glass before I use it -I am a diehard upside down!
OGGgirl Lol. That’s fair enough!
Loving the subtle brag 😂
I always dry my glasses and store them upside down, mainly so that the insides don't collect dust
Sarah Noyes I also do the same..🤣😂🤣 we’re just normal clean freaks.
Same here!
the always get a little bit smelly. I store them with the opening upside and rinse them with water before using them^^
Same
I like functional decor and appliances we use almost daily, a small one-portion blender, toaster, microwave, Keurig out on the counters, and I try to keep it to that
I've actually recently tried your idea of putting everything away to see how I felt about my kitchen surfaces being clear & I have to say that my hubby & me both lived it 😀 sk I'm definitely in the 'less on the tops' camp 👍
I store half and half. Depending on the cups and glasses, if they flare, if you alternate up and down, you can store more in the same space.
Same here
I keep mine up and just wipe them out before I use them. Even if I just used the mug yesterday I still wipe it out, it's a habit lol.
Yep, do this to!
Ditto. Most of mine are upright but due to small space, I have some upside down.
Same here
I used to love going and checking out "Model Homes" and getting some decorating ideas. The "decorators" always seemed to have so much "clutter" everywhere, but the worst for some reason was usually the kitchen. The kitchens and other space would look so much bigger if they'd get rid of all that stuff...
Thanks for all the tips!!
mark 👍🏻👍🏻
I love to keep toaster and coffee maker on my kitchen counter. Would be painful to have to take out/put away every morning.
Rosa C. Same, especially since we our coffee maker on timer
Putting it away looks modern cleaner better
Bleach or pine gel is suffucient to clean no need to use bi or vin waste of money
Me too, i have my coffee maker and toaster, everything else I store .........I think it looks more like a home when you have a couple of appliances on the counters , too clear feels like no one lives there lol
While I like a clean look I have to be realistic. We live here therefore it can't look staged so toaster and coffee maker live out
I love the feeling of a super clean and buffed sink!
I like clear counters with a few essential and often used items on show. Completely empty counters look sterile to me but a cluttered kitchen is a recipe for chaos and waste! Xx
I prefer spacious counter to work on
I store upright all the time, but I’ve always make sure that my glassware and mugs are 100% dry before putting into cupboard. Most bugs go after moisture, so I dry them first before put away. As for counter space, don’t have much room and cupboard space is limited too. So I keep rice cooker and crockpot on counter and make sure I use them most days weekly.
Happy to know I do these kitchen task already. Love cleaning so I’m consistently cleaning areas and trying to maximize time.
I tried the nothing on counter tops. I do have a coffee station so that makes it easier. I was hesitant about putting away my toaster because I use it every day but found a “convenient place to store it and I love not having it out. I do have a big bowl set that won’t fit elsewhere so it’s still out but it doesn’t hurt the sleek look. So happy I tried this.
I prefer clean counters with minimal decor. Also, I store my glasses both ways. The reason I do is that I rotate my glassware, and I can tell which ones haven't been used by the way they are stored. Loved the tip about cleaning the blender--so simple and something I would have never thought of! Thanks Melissa!!!!
I think the state of the sink sets the tone for the house. Loving the springtime nails!! Xx
I store my cups and mugs upright. I don’t like the idea of my mouth going on the part that was touching the cabinet. 😆
Jenna In with you 😊
Jenna 😆
Yes ma'am
Jenna same!
I prefer it facing down in case there are bugs crawling around that I don't see. I'll never pick up a glass or mug that has a live bug inside. upside down is 100% my favorite
I keep my kitchen counter minimal. I have a container with cooking utensils and a porcelain owl full of cat food. But that’s it. The minimal look makes it feel like a space of cooking possibilities :) Thanks for another great video
Long Live the Clean My Space Yellow Pineapple!!! I like a pretty bare countertop in the bathroom and kitchen. It's easier to keep clean. In fact, you just inspired me to clear off the kitchen counters... some stuff has accumulated there and it needs to get put away!
do not put grease in your compost pile it will draw racoons and opossums
You nailed it on glass/mug storage. I agree that upright is the way to go with storage unless you have open shelves and worry about bugs!!
I like my countertops clean and pretty clear- I do keep the coffee pot on the counter since we use it regularly but otherwise, other appliances are stored in a cupboard. Thank you for the tips- I enjoy your videos very much.
Upside Down (glasses) - but I place my glasses/mugs/bowl on a dish towel to dry as I put the rest of my dishes/silverware away. Great Idea for cleaning that crack between the stove and countertop! Yay!
I love clean and CLEAR countertops!
Hardcore minimalist in the kitchen. A clean canvas gives me life.
This would be a good time to do a video on disinfectants that work well against viruses. 😉
We hand wash dishes at home. So, right after the wash we sit the dishes upside down while they wait to get put away. When they’re in the cabinet we store them right side up.
I keep the appliances that I use regularly/daily on the countertop that’s my water filter, aerogarden, coffee maker, KitchenAid, toaster, kettle, instantpot, and a blender! if I have enough space to put them away but still reach them with easy access I would and choose the minimalistic approach 😊
I appreciated your tips on oiling wooden utensils. I never thought of that. I do oil my butcher block island and my cutting board every few months
I'm going to oil mine and keep them out of the dishwasher.
Love a minimal counter but it never happens...husband, teenagers, etc Wanted to tell you I’ve made up several of your cleaning solutions and my mind is blown. Even got a little emotional after cleaning soap-scum out of my tub with NO EFFORT after years of trying noxious store bought stuff and scrubbing my little heart out! No more bleach stained clothes! No more dizzying fumes! Love that I’m using fewer chemicals, less plastic and that this is all so much healthier for my family. So glad I found you!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
FOR all your videos
Oh my gosh! I store upright too. Drives my family nuts I give them this exact reason of air circulation and they think I’m overthinking it. Soooo glad I’m not the only one.
I’m with you! Plus, ew I don’t my the lip of the cup touching the shelf.
Tara A I know, right?!
This is an ongoing battle in my house. It's the same reason as your family. If it wasn't for the fact that I'm generally the one who does the dishes, albeit my daughter will put away the dishes from the dishwasher if I push, but she sure doesn't like it (as a mom we get to feel the 'I don't care if you don't like it but I cook, clean, wash your clothes, etc...' not to mention she's home after graduating from college while she finds work & can move out on her own), move often the glasses & coffee cups do go rightside up, but the downside is that my husband will stand there & flip them upside down on occasion. FACEPALM! UGH. I know he does this just to get under my skin. He's such a scamp.
@@sammi-joreviews1135 my middle name use to be jo! I changed it after i married
I do one up one down especially with wine glasses mainly for space.
Keeping my kitchen counters clean and uncluttered makes me feel clean. The bacon soda and vinegar techniques gets the job done. Thanks dear sister of clean. 💃👏⚰🙏🇺🇸🏖
Enjoyed watching thank you for sharing take care.
Life changing things in my kitchen - Microwave cover, using vinegar to clean everything in the kitchen, keeping my heavy food processor on the counter (I actually use it now), and an erasable monthly planner to jot down to dos (keep me and my husband coordinated).
Hand-washer here. I store my glasses right side up. Have been decluttering for awhile now, still a work in progress. Unfortunately my kitchen is tiny with very few cabinets, so my toaster and Keurig must stay on the counter, as well as a jar of my most used cooking utensils by the stove. That’s all, though, except for a pretty tray holding dishwashing essentials by the sink.
Yay I love kitchen videos! I just uploaded a video inspired by you... trying your 3 wave system.
I really liked cleaning my sink at the end instead of after doing my dishes... super helpful!!
Also I put my glass cups upside down 🤦🏽♀️
Perfect timing Melissa!! 😃
Thanks for watching Nolan!
Definitely
I *would* like minimal items on the counter, but my house doesn't have the cupboard space so, I *do* keep some appliances on the counter. However, I'm not a knick knack person, so I don't put decor items on the counter.
I store some of my glasses upright, but the ones on the open wire shelves I store upside down. Thanks for all or the great cleaning tips, we have very hard water so I am going to give the sink tip a try. And last question, my counters are always cluttered so 2020 is the year for me the get my home clean and organized...thank you for the continued motivation ❤️
Your videos are so helpful! Thank you!
Thanks for watching them!
LOOOOL!!!!!!! That was funny. 1-I used to store my glassware down but a girend who worked in chinaware in a department store told me that was wrong so I started storing them upright. 2-My mom did both when we had dinner I guess her mood? We would have serving dishes, other times the pots would be on the table. I follow another YTuber here on organization. I am a "if I see it I will use it" so the items I use often are out on the counter and I love it. It may irritate others but it works for me. I only put up what I do not use all the time like food processor.
your videos are great. I follow every tip. thank you.
Thanks for the tip about using a butter knife to get the crud between stove and counter. BTW, upside down for glasses; right-side up for mugs. Don't ask.
Upside down...that's how I was trained. I used to have all appliances on the counter...now they all rest on the metal shelves unit in the other room. Totally freed up my kitchen!!!
Cleared counter top.& Keeping my sink free has made such a big difference to my kitchen..feels clean all.time ...i.also.now put the drainin rack away so don't tempt me 2 leave dishes out.... thnx 😍
GREAT and Amazing Tips
Just have to say such a fan of your content, subscribed years ago and recently rediscovered your channel, also super happy for you guys about the little one! 😁
Thanks for another great video. My family is very happy that I found you guys lol. You guys are amazing
Great tips! Loved the video
Amazing tips
I normally have all of my appliances on the counter because it's visible to me, but I do like the idea of having a cleaner counter.
Thanks for the great tips! Newer subscriber loving watching your videos!
I like cleared off counters, even my toaster oven gets put away. The only thing allowed to stay out is the fruit bowl. And also, when it comes to kitchen laundry, I change out my dish cloth at least once a day (sometimes more if I used it wipe off my toddlers face after a meal) and I boil my dish cloths before putting them in the laundry, that way they don't get stinky.
I also change my kitchen towel out at least once a day. I guess it depe ds on how much you use it but i wouldnt. Consider using the same wShcloth for my face everyday so why the handtowel in the kitchen?
@@grandmalin4999 So true and I am definitely going to start doing this myself
I think it became popular to store plates and glasses upside-down during the Depression-era Dust Bowl, when topsoil from the heartland even blew into homes on the east coast … and ships at sea, too. Dust was everywhere! I store contemporary glasses rim-side up, but my grandmother's old tapered glassware is staggered up-down-up-down because I have so little space in my tiny kitchen.
I saw this post on Instagram saying you posted, thought i watched it then but I didn’t 😞 I’m late but I’m here 🙌🏾 sooooo much value in every single video you post
So true😎awesome video. Thank you 😊
Thanks for been straight to the point 🙏🏾
Love your jumpsuit❤️ And your video too!
In small kitchens, we have no choice but to leave appliances on the counter tops. But your video was highly motivating
What a great video, thank you. I'm an upside-downer only if they can be stacked and still fit in the space. Coffee mugs can usually be stacked inside each other right-side up. I guess I'm not sanitary with my blender. I use it 5 days a week so I just put it in the refrigerator after each use until Friday, when I clean it. It make life a LOT easier! You throw your greased paper towels into the compost bin. Do you mean recycling bin? I was told no meat or dairy in my compost bin because it may attract animals. I am so with you on a clean counter space. Especially since I have a small one. Totally minimalist, baby!
Each n Every point ls so perfect best video
For the sink my all time go to is baking soda and lemon 🍋, I use lemon in water every morning so I save the lemon shell, sprinkle the baking soda and instead of the scrubber I use the lemon shell as the scrubber and the results are amazing it even removes rusty marks and leave the sink area smelling like a dream. And I store my glasses up as they are in a cupboard.
Melissa this jumpsuit is evvvvvverrrryyyyything!!!! 🔥💜
I’m loving your microfiber cloths! Clean up is faster with them. They are so absorbent and rinse out well. Sorry, they get washed weekly with everything else but I have enough.
TiMalice2009 👍🏻
Hello Melissa, started to watch your videos recently and I’m a big fan already. I like to clean! But as I age it’s getting more difficult to keep up with my own cleaning standards... You make cleaning seem an easier task. I’m aware of the need to declutter various parts of my home, so I’m starting to use your advice on this chapter😊. By the way I store my cups and glasses upright and enjoy having my kitchen counter top with the least things on it possible. Regards from Portugal🇵🇹
Thank you! 🌻
an year ago i am ur viewer...baking soda is ur main product for cleaning..it helps me alot..mostly in oven rack...thnk u dear for great information...
Thank you
Love this video
I agree with you on storing the glasses and cups upright but I do tend to give them a quick rinse before using them just in case they have anything
We learned from the thirties to keep dirt out of our clean dishes. Dirt storms still drop by every now and then. Upside down for us!
Try a silicon gap cover between stove and counter top. It keeps food and crumbs from getting into that gap, and they're easier to clean. Love mine.
Love your videos. You are so cool and smart.
If I could I wouldn’t put anything on countertops or maybe only a stylish coffee maker. Empty stone countertops look so beautiful and clean 😍
I store my glasses upside down but now I want to try your way!
Omg When I hand wash my dishes I do the same thing!!
Great video and lots of good tips that I can use. I also subscribe to some gardening channels and they discourage putting grease or oil in the compost bin as this might encourage vermin. 🤷🏾♀️
Thanks
Super agree when our kitchen is clean ; I feel clean and d whole house . Same thing with make bed 😉feeling good !
my countertops are full but I want to make them clear now. Thankyou for the video
Really informative. I did not know you had to regularly seal grout. Or at all. You are right. Who thinks of it. Off to store soon. Always stored mugs upside down. In Brisbane. Australia a lot of sneaky cockroaches get about and I always imagine them galloping through the cupboard jumping into my cups. I have some wine glasses that I store upright, as it fits in better. Need to do your less is better declutter. Bench top has 7 appliances. Multi cooker, jug, sodastream, toaster, microwave, 2 coffee machines. Need to declutter that too. Yours look so appealing.
Yeah for vinegar, yeah for baking soda (I add lemon or orange zest to my baking soda, gives a nice smell as well as citric acid is a disinfectant!) Also I clean my butcher block with a half lemon and kosher salt. Works like a charm and when I've wiped all of that off, I treat my block with mineral oil.Also, if you have bacon fat, put it in a plastic container while it's still warmish and mix in a few tablespoons of peanut butter and some seeds (non-salted, millet, sunflower, whatever) Then pop that in your freezer and in the winter, tip it out of the container and put it in an old mesh onion bag, yes you have kept some. Then hang it out for birds!
Way back in high school we did an experiment, growing in a petri dish after swabbing cups upside down or right side up. Grew more when cup was upright! So I always store them upside down. Make sure they're totally dry to start.
Since I live in an apartment, I have quite a bit on my kitchen counters - Kitchaid mixer, a ice tea maker gadget, coffee maker and a pitcher to hold my cooking utensils. As well as a toaster!
I live in the Seattle area so we have plenty of water! I let the faucet run when I wash, don't use the sink full. I let things dry upside down in a drying rack on top of a towel, but turn them right side up to finish drying after dripping. Then I store them upside down to keep dust from entering. I don't have geckos lol. My counter-space is TINY living in an apartment, so have nothing on them except some empty beer cans until the evening when I rinse them out and recycle. One has to learn to live with the space they have. I do always scrub-sponge my drain opening. It's not as neglected as the area around my faucet mount!
I just have my blender cutting board my utensils salt/Pepper shaker and a small dry goods basket on my countertops dont have alot of counter space but since it's a daily use item I keep them out.
My cups when drying face down but once they get put away go upright I've had a cup that got stuck onto the cabinet floor and I'll always put them upright. Great video thanks again.
Right side up for me! I love as my counters as clear as possible haven't much drawer space but try to keep everything looking uncluttered cos it easier to clean that way!
I store my glasses upright! ✨
Most importantly make sure children cannot get hold of any harmful products ie dish washing tablets etc ! Great tips !
I like my counters as clear as possible. I'm always trying to find hiding spaces for stuff. However, some things that I use every day I may keep - or if the item (toaster oven) is difficult to store, I will keep it on my counter.
I never fry anything in a large amount of oil, but I do use avocado oil or olive oil when making fish/chicken/etc in a frying pan. I wipe as clean as I can with paper towels before washing in the sink. Also, when frying bacon or hamburger, there's a lot of grease so I'll double up the plastic grocery store bags and put the grease in there once it has cooled a bit. Then throw in garbage and on to the paper towel ritual. It has worked for me for years.
My glasses are upright! For the exact logic you explained :)
I hand was all my dishes. An the next day I'll put them up. An my cups are in a hand made pine bored cabinet, an my cups always have the sweet smell of pine. Love it
I am relating to Lydia M, LOL I get it. Love all your tips, Melissa!
One tip I like though for cleaning the faucet head with a pull out is to fill a cup with a vinegar solution & instead of a plastic bag, pull out the faucet and put a clothespin to hold it in the cup so it can soak for as long as you want! I usually set a timer! :-)
Hi from New Zealand 😊🇳🇿 I’m a glasses up and mugs down girl. If I’m honest I’ve never really thought about it. I like your ideas though so will give it a try and see if it feels good to me. Keep safe everyone and have a great day - Heather
