An FYI, none of this is disinfecting. These words get thrown around all over the place with no idea what they mean it's just blatant misinformation.
That said it's really not necessary in the slightest to actually disinfect our whole kitchens, it's again just coming from not understanding how these things work. We should just call it what it is though and not waste our time and energy on bs from people who aren't at all qualified or educated.
*Of course not meaning Mai
Thank you!!! People think just pouring bleach over stuff is disinfecting and it's going to be the best way of cleaning everything like... It's not!!! Why can't people just stick with soap and water and the good ol' alcohol??? It does the job just fine???
For the stove grill thingys, you can put them in a bathtub to soak with the dishwasher pod, since you have a double sink 😊
I clean my fridge shelves in the bathtub lol
same for the grease trap for the hood vent! highly recommend just putting them all in the tub and soaking in either the dishwasher pod or a degreaser like dawn dish soap
I was coming on here to say to use your tub as well for soaking large things
but put a towel underneath them, so that they don't scratch the surface of the bathtub!
I came here to say the same thing!
This was so satisfying to watch, Mai! I absolutely love your channel. Your personality is awesome and your content is the best. Love it! I’m so happy I found your channel 🙂❤️
For the disposal I keep a toilet brush only for the disposal. I spray the brush with power wash , stick it in the disposal and scrub the crap out of it. As you SLOWLY pull the brush out of the disposal I twist it to clean the underside of the rubber flange. If you just yank the brush out fast it will flip crud all over your kitchen (and you). It’s amazing and absolutely disgusting how much crud accumulates on the underside of the flange.
U can use your bathtub to clean your stove grates. Just spray them with the dawn power wash and let them sit a few minutes.
Re: using sink for a bucket, I encourage you to wring out the dirty rag in the other side or into a bowl/bucket. That way you don't introduce dirty rag to cleaning/deoderizing solution. Even just wringing the rag without rinsing will help. Otherwise, you're just rubbing dirty water all over. I learned this from a professional cleaner.
"th-cam.com/video/RaGK3fRA9n8/w-d-xo.html"
For the hood range grease trap, she gave a suggestion of leaving it in the sink with hot water and Mr. Clean. I did it and mines was just as bad as yours and it ended up looking new and silver. I think I let it sit all day or up until I needed to cook. (I had started cleaning in the AM)
I clean my oven vents by putting hot water in my sink with some OxiClean. Comes out great every time.
Mai, spray the stove filter (grease trap) thing with Method degreaser. Let set for awhile then spray off with water in sink and they look spotless! Just did it tonight !
You can try stainless steel paint!!! it will make yoyr fridge like new!!!
You can put your stove racks in the bathtub, just make sure that you lay an old towel on the bottom so that you don't scratch the tub. For the "grease trap" you should first spray it with easy off and then put into the dishwasher
Also bar keepers friend is great on the stove and stainless steal. Will clean it perfectly
I used oxiclean to soak the grease traps, which was effective.
a tip for reusing old towels and washcloths, they make really good "un-paper towels". If you don't have a sewing machine to zigzag stitch(or serger) to finish the cut ends, a washcloth is a good option. If you do have a sewing machine(or serger), you can cut up old towels to whatever size you want(customized size!) and stitch(with a COTTON thread) over the edges to prevent them from fraying. They get washed with towels. They are a very absorbent and eco-friendly option as you're getting even more use out of the raw product and consuming less paper towels. I actually like using them better for cleaning and around the kitchen messes.
I have a little shelf in my kitchen where i store a stack of them.
Hood filter = “grease trap”. That’s what it’s called. Also you should probably use a clean solution in the sink for every section…this way you’re not spreading old water and germs on the new section that you’re cleaning.
Hi Mai! Use your bath tub to clean the stove grills. There are markers in the cleaning section at Walmart to hide the white spots on your cabinets.
This was a very interesting video. I do have a question about the long term use on the cabinets and floors, will it dry out? Is there a step regarding using an oil or something to condition, like Murphy oil soap or Old English? Really interested in this subject matter
Probably on real wood that would be essential but laminate you have to be really careful not to scratch of shine.
Just prior to watching your video I grabbed my coffee and avoided the obvious mess as I slunk out of my kitchen. This was perfect motivation to get it clean! I like how thorough GoCleanCo is and you're such fun to watch. Please do more of her methods, Mai! My whole house needs a deep clean and you're the perfect butt kick I need. XXOO ❤️
DOLLAR TREE "TOTALLY AWESOME" SPRAY WORKS ON GREASE AND I USE IT ON MY STOVE VENT ALL THE TIME
Be careful with the broken nob in the stove I had one of my nobs broken and we almost died....the gas was accidentally left on, I thought I turn it off but like it was broken I couldn't tell. I was in my house at that time with my small son we didn't notice the smell because we were asleep....but something woke me up to me it didnt smell like gas but it did smell differently . .I decided to get up and check but I couldn't pin point where the smell was coming from because it didn't smell like gas. But decided to go to my stove and hear if gas was coming out and I did hear air was coming out. I went to my neighbor to tell them to smell and they said my house smell strong of gas I called the fire department they arrived and said I was lucky the house did not explode because my house was filled with gas from my stove....the lord was watching over me....I ask the fire department how come to me it didnt smell like gas he said the reason was that I was so long in the house that my nose got use to of the gas smell that I couldn't smell it anymore. I also had a gas detector but fail on me on that day.. .still at this time I'm paranoid. I purchased another stove ever since but still scared of gas....just be careful
My go-to kitchen cleaner is hot water, DAWN, and bleach. I know it is because it is what my parents used when I was growing up. 😁
I have a sink like yours. I clean my stove grates in the bathroom. Just make sure to lay a towel down so you don't scratch your tub. Another way is to put them in a trash bag with degreaser let them sit in the bag closed for a couple hours then rinse them off with your hose or hot water.
For your grates on the stove put in large trash bag with ammonia and set for 24 hours. For the screen over the stove spray with simple green and set for 30 minutes and then rinse.
Love your channel. You can stick your stove top grill in the oven and put it on self clean mode.It burns everything off and then when it done you just take a Rough brush and brush off the access and then whip off or rinse it. That’s what I do with mine and I love how they come out.
I love go clean go! Take your stove grates and fill your tub with hot Water and a couple of dishwashers tabs. Then rinse them!!!!!
I also use laundry detergent to clean the kitchen cabinets because it removes the grease so effectively. It's especially helpful for cleaning the top of the kitchen upper cabinets... which I do maybe once a year 😂.
However, I have never cleaned my floors with it... I will try that too.
For cleaning your extractor filter, I would recommend the following :
Take a deep baking sheet... big enough to put the filter in (or in the shower or bathtub). Then pour washing powder over the heavily soiled areas, place a towel, or some cleaning rags on top and carefully fill the baking tray with boiling hot water, till the filter is covered, or at least the cloth on it gets wet.
Soak it overnight, or at least for a few hours.
This is how I got a 20 year old and heavily greasy filter clean again... without scrubbing.
I put wax paper on the tops of our cabinets and replace it every spring. This keeps them clean and I never have to scrub them - just lightly wash them because dust gets under the wax paper a bit. This tip is originally from “Be my guest Denise Cooper”.
@@jenniferrumsey9887 Never thought of that... but it's a good idea. Maybe I'll try that too.
At the moment I have old, cheap wallpaper on my upper cabinets, which I have attached with a bit tape.
you could soak you grillthingies in a plastik tub, what i found works also really well for greasy things is detergent for white clothes
You've inspire me to clean my kickplate. :P I think it's odd GCG suggests bleach in super hot water. Bleach is only effective in tepid water. Hot water dissolves its active ingredient. And bleach should always be rinsed off. I use ammonia for deep clean disinfecting, which does not need to be rinsed off, and it doesn't ruin fabric dyes. It's often in glass cleaners. But bleach and ammonia make deadly toxic fumes when mixed. I don't have any bleach cleaners in my house to avoid an accident.
I am absolutely not a chemist, but I found this article that is helpful www.apartmenttherapy.com/bleach-and-hot-water-36653185
GCG takes its chemical mixing very seriously and constantly warns people what not to mix together. Besides "bleach pray love" her other motto is "water bleach and powdered tide, anything else and you'll need an ambulance ride", or something like that. She also always goes over everything with water two or three times after using bleach to make sure she got everything off.
You don't need toxic cleaners at all. It is better for yourself and the enviremont.
Not sure if your grill is stainless steel... it looks like it is, but the scrub daddy power paste says not to use on stainless steel and I actually used it on something and it started taking the finish off! Just wanted to let you know ☺️
There is something called “range hood filter paper” that attaches with magnets over your stove. So you just throw that away periodically instead of having to wash the one you’re washing. Amazon has it and it comes with magnets.
You did a great job cleaning your kitchen!! It feels wonderful to work in a clean tidy sanitized kitchen ;)
You might not like cleaning but you are so good at it. I like your videos, thank you for sharing.
One thing I know for sure you need to clean on your disposal is the underside of the little rubber bits that separate the sink from the disposal. Those get DISGUSTING
I put my stove grates in my bathtub with really hot water and dawn, let it soak wiped away the grime with a sponge then repeated it again and they came out like new
Looks great! I absolutely LOVE their method of cleaning...I use it often...it's the ONLY way I mop my floors. 🙂
I used the Method Degreaser on my grease thing and it worked pretty good. I sprayed it and let it sit, used an old toothbrush to scrub it, rinsed, then washed it with soap and water.
I love Go Clean Co! I stumbled across her page a few months ago and have been cleaning this way ever since and it has made such a difference! I always get comments how clean my floors look and I love that her methods truly disinfect 🙌🏻
Use oven degreaser on filters and everything else with grease.....
I have heard that one way to help clean the stove grates is to put them in trash bag with 1/4 cup ammonia and tie it up tight. Leave it overnight - I would put the bag in the garage or outside. Wipe it off the next day and scrub any remaining gunk with baking soda. Also, one way to make stove top cleaning much easier is to wipe it off every night. If there are any spills or grease, I use a little dish detergent, otherwise, just water and a microfiber cloth. It only takes a minute or two and keeps my stove top looking good.
The Method's degreaser in the silver is awesome and doesn't give me a headache like most of their products do. I've purchased multiple bottles and it works great. Super affordable and easily found at Target.
Also a Go Clean Co staple - Bar Keepers Friend soft cleanser is a lifesaver! You can use it on stainless, sinks, toilets - so many things!!!
I wonder why GCG wouldn’t recommend Nixon go he solution in a bucket and pouring into spray bottles. I think it’ll last longer vs emptying sink fulls of water
Sometimes you can purchase a new fridge door without replacing the whole fridge.
For my stove grates (which aren't as big as your's) I put them on the top rack inside my cold oven. On the bottom rack I put an empty baking dish and on the middle rack another empty baking dish. (If you only have two oven racks then put one baking dish sideways over the bottom baking dish so it's suspended over the top and not sitting inside it.) Now pour 1 cup of straight ammonia in the top baking dish and then fill the bottom baking dish half way with boiling water. Close up the oven and leave it sit overnight or at least 5 or so hours. When you open the oven it's really easy to wipe down the oven, the racks and the stove grates. Be careful to dispose of the ammonia or put it back in the bottle to be used again another day.
FINALLY bought scrub daddy power paste after watching you use it so many times. I LOVE IT. I now recommend it to every single person I know. Thank you!!!❤🙌
The easiest way to clean your cabinets is to use a O-Cedar cc Easywring Microfiber Spin Mop & Bucket Floor Cleaning System. With the same mixture of Tide & Bleach. This way you can use the mop to reach your cabinets and not have to climb up and down on a stool. Make sure that you have dedicated mop head to do this. For instance have one for your four and one dedicated to clean your cabinets. You can also spin them up about 7:00 to 9 times so that I'm off had is not too wet and does not drip down your cabinets
I soak the filter in hot water and simple green. For the disposal, first run it, then add 1/4 c of baking soda, wait 15 minutes, add 1 c vinegar, run disposal, wait for it to finish bubbling, then rinse with hot water, run disposal 10 seconds with hot water.
I had an idea for your fridge scratches and I Googled it, so it seems it is actually done. Back in the day, people would use toothpaste to repair scratches on theor cds. Apparently, people do the same for stainless steel surfaces. For reference, I would look up the wiki how for the CD scratches first and then look up the stainless steel repair. I know the wiki how is quite specific on the proper type of toothpaste that will get the job done.
I was wondering whether a sharpie on the wood scratches on cupboards too?
I do the grates from stove and oven right in the bathtub. Same goes for the shelves and drawers in fridge
After I clean out the sink, I fill one with the hottest water, Tide and bleach but I add a little more bleach. Then I add the dish drying rack with utensil holder and allow it to soak a bit. Make sure your hot water is deep enough to cover the dish rack. After soaking I scrub top and bottom ensuring I cover all the surfaces. The utensil cup tends to get really dirty so scrub it as well. I give the rack a final inspection and if satisfied, I drain the water and scrub the sink as well. I use the sprayer to rinse everything with super hot water. Now I’m happy to put my freshly washed dishes in it to dry.
If you take your tips from a cleaning company you have already got problems. Cleaning companies do not clean properly. I have had maybe 10 of them in my lifetime some I gave months and some weeks to get it right none came up to my expectations. I don't consider myself a picky person but i do expect any dust that is visible to be cleaned, never happened .
I love this video because we can see you live a real life, you're kitchen is not perfect like so many others in their videos, with your video we can see an effect and it's a real house with kids and not someone who is cleaning the whole day. I love this video so much and I like your personality and honesty I am impressed. You are the first one who is really real. Thank you for your time and effort
So many people like the scrub daddy power paste and I literally threw mine away I disliked it so much! Maybe I used it on the wrong things? 🤔 I tried it in the bathroom and found it worthless.
Same! I love the liquid bar keepers friend MUCH better. I use it for everything!
Also get some krud cutter, it’s amazing on almost anything, but amazing on grease!😃
Hi
All ur videos r very motivating ,
One tip for ur hood / chimney, degrease it by using normal white toothpaste, it cleans very easily without mess, nd also u can clean ur kitchen tiles nd gas range with white toothpaste,
Little known fact. If you clean house with no shoes on you will be twice as tired at the end of the day as if you wear shoes. I'm glad to see you had yours on. Kills me that so many you tubers who do cleaning vids don't wear shoes. I you don't wear shoes in. your home then keep a clean pair only for housework days. After 40 years of cleaning my house, I can tell you it makes a huge difference.
OK this works like a charm for Cleaning oven vent filters. Boil hot water put it in your sink, you just need it deep enough for the filter to lay under the water. Add a 1/3 cup of baking soda 4 or 5 squirts of dish soap and let it sit for 10 minutes, it’ll come out clean as can be!
Lemon peels will really clean the garbage disposal. Just throw them in and run the disposal. The flange just comes right out and can go in the dishwasher. It can also be easily replaced if it’s no longer in good shape.
Throw your stove grates into your dishwasher. They come out like brand new.
I thought mixing soap and bleach was bad for you?
Those stove grills come pretty clean after being put in a $tree XXL storage bag with 1 C of Pneumonia (non sudsing) seal it well and leave overnight. Then open and rinse everything with lots of water, beware of fumes. Loosens gunk so may still need to use an old toothbrush to scrub, but way easier!
Bleach on wood cabinets??? I would think that would ruin the finish
We scrape off all food off our dishes before putting in the dishwasher then every 2 weeks we use a dishwasher cleaning tablet - it’s a finish in wash dishwasher cleaner and it cleans the dishwasher and I am sure all the grime in the pipes .
Dawn puts out a Dawn Degreaser spray that works wonderful but is hard to find. I put my grease filters in the dishwasher
Ok I’m intrigued by the laundry detergent for everything trick. I’m going to be picking that up and cleaning the heck out of my kitchen this weekend and I couldn’t be more excited.
No large sink? How about a bathtub? Scrub out with cleanser when done.
Magnets scratch the stainless steel on the fridge. You’re *supposed to* put magnets on the sides. But for us, that ship sailed long ago.
I think the left to right process is a huge waste of time. I would do all the cabinets, the counters, then lower areas. Then floors.
Fill the sink with ice and shove as much of it as you can into the disposal. Then turn your water on into the disposal hole while the disposal is running and just keep shoving the ice into the hole and it will be really gross and you can do it multiple times until it is clear/ a little cloudy.
The bathtub works great for cleaning the oven racks. You can use fabric softener sheets in the water.
If you’re into learning more about cleaning (that became my COVID/quarantine hobby) Melissa Maker with Clean My Space has tons of great videos
Scratch B Gone Kit will take this scathes right off your refrigerator 😃
Since you've tried a few of the laundry detergent sheets, could you recommend which brands you liked best and why?
Why not use the tub for the grills? And the powder daddy paste for the hood?
You could soak the bigger things like the parts of your stove in the bath tub
unless I missed something,you didnt clean the island chairs or the other side of the island.
Hi! I use a pumice stone to clean my stove grates and it works really well. Also, I cleaned my grease filter the exact same way.. dawn power wash and a brush. The only difference was I scrubbed when it was flat and then put it through the dishwasher and it came out looking almost brand new. We never cleaned it and it was really bad. =)
Put your stove grills into your bathtub. No need for a giant sink
I’m torn on this whole Tide as a cleaning product and floor cleaner all of the sudden.
Very hot water with soap and baking soda (if it can fit in a pot and boiled even better) to clean the grill grease trap thingy
You can try some fine steel wool on your fridge to minimize those scratches.
What do you clean outside of microwave with?
While the grease trap is still hot from the dishwasher go ahead and clean it by hand because the grease is going to be loose
I feel like already do some of those methods as for the kitchen grates I just put them in the dishwasher from time to time
For your vent filter Easy off will clean it right up.
Use Dawn on the grease trap. I only use the regular Dawn. The power wash is useless to me.
Once you said bleach made me want to go home start cleaning up my house lol
I cleaned my grease trap by putting it in white wine vinegar and warm water in the sink!
You can soak your grease trap in the sink with hot water and a dishwasher tablet or pac whatever you use. Let it soak for several hours then run it through the dishwasher :)
If you have a bathtub you can put the grills in the bathtub.
You can buy a plastic container to soak the stove burners.
Has anyone else heard it's better to use colder water when it comes to bleach?
I put my oven grills in the dishwasher 😅
You could rinse your towel in the other sink so solution doesn't get gross
I put my grill top in the dishwasher. 😬
Bathtub for your oven grills?
Get a cheap bath mat. Put stove grills into tub to clean.
plastic sleeve for emergency contact list
Or look up lestoil, works amazing on grease too!
Use your bathtub to clean the grill tops.
Does anyone know if it has to be TIDE or can I use an off brand?
