    A tip for cleaning the heater vent is to unscrew it from the wall and wash it in the sink or tub with a scrub brush. It's much faster. 🙂

      @MiaMichele9696 2 ปีที่แล้ว +20

      @@lolajtek3676 Yup, that's what I do...usually on a weekly basis, but while vacuuming removes the surface dust, twice a year I take all the vent covers off to clean them to remove the residual dirt...you wouldn't believe how dirty the water gets, especially after the winter months.

    For the vent cleaning, I just unscrew the vent covers since theres only 2 screws. I take all of them off at once, take them to the sink or bathtub where I have a soft brush and mild soapy water and wash them. It's super quick, super easy and way faster than cleaning one little slat at a time. (:

      So true! It’s fun to watch or read how someone else tackles the same task. Sometimes we can pat ourselves on the back if we’ve already found something that works better for us. And sometimes we can let our jaws drop in amazement that we never thought of something another person does routinely! It’s fun to watch whichever way it goes.

This is a wonderful human and has took her time to make this video and I’m sure she has helped many first time cleaners to show them these hacks! I hate Bully’s and most of you did just that! It’s a shame that you feel you have to do that! I am so sorry and don’t let them stop you!!! Keep making videos! I never knew about the paw thing and will be getting one! So you taught me something!

    The max cuteness a baby can be is the stage where they're able to interact and finally can see and play with stuff. They're not getting into trouble and their eyes seem to literally shine in excitement with everything around them........ this is why babies get me whipped to the point I feel like I could explode from cuteness overload. My heart be aching because I can't glue the the current scene of them to my eyeballs to enjoy forever 😂😂😂 My nieces own me and my poor wallet because I'm constantly buying stuff for them so I can see that excited wonder in their eyes with their huge smiles!!!! Babies are so pure not hiding their emotions and when it comes to seeing their joy you know it's fully unfiltered happiness!!!!

    Love watching your videos! During my second pregnancy while searching TH-cam I watched your videos for the first time. With the motivation you gave me to clean, I found that I enjoyed cleaning, because I just could never sleep and cleaning made me exhausted enough to get some sleep. Now with two kids two and under and working full time, I’m usually too tired to get any deep cleaning done. Just started watching your videos again at night and I have motivation to get things done now. Thank you 🥰

    To restore glass inserts on ovens, use an inexpensive plain, unscented shaving cream (Dollar General). Shake and spray a layer on door. NOTE!! IF you have a chemical free self cleaning oven, use a low tack tape to mask off the edges so it doesn't end up on metal surfaces and potentially void any warranties!! Spread a nice layer of shaving cream over glass. Wait 1 hour. Wipe surface clean. Extra heavy baked on residue may require 2-3 treatments. I have severe Odteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis and I had to put in minimal effort to remove the residue. My oven doors sparkle like brand new!!!

      Don’t allow yourself to get overwhelmed first off. Make a chart Sunday thru Friday or something along those lines leaving at least 1 day free of no cleaning duties. Assign a couple cleaning duties to each day that way you can keep up with everything without feeling overwhelmed & you might consider doing laundry two times a wk so it doesn’t pile up and feel like your having to do so many loads at once. Definitely recommend having atleast one day a month that you do a deep clean/de-clutter or maybe even every other month. I use to be obsessed with cleaning spending 8hrs or more each day cleaning heck even spent a thousand + dollars on a ATP luminometer which basically u swab the surface of something put it in the meter and it will measure the hygiene/sanitary level of that item. If results were anything more than 2 I would clean again up to 10 is passing. But after years of professional help I’ve managed to cut back drastically.
      As far as cleaning products go I really love ZEP products but for the most part I try to use more natural ingredients. I love love love using a mixture of warm to hot distilled white vinegar & dawn dish soap for the bathroom will use bar keepers if needed. For the toilet & everything else I mix 3 tablespoons clorax bleach & 3TBSP fabuloso, 2TBSP dawn dish soap, 2-3 cups water I eye ball everything so exact measurements are hard to give. Also if you have a flat top stove with hard to get off burnt water marks you can spray easy off oven cleaner let it sit for an hour at minimum some like to leave over night I never do can also use the vinegar & dawn mixture and sprinkle baking soda on top let it sit come back using magic eraser. For mattresses even if you use a mattress cover it’s good to clean the mattress itself once a month or every other month spray mattress with a mixture of hot water & warm distilled white vinegar any area that need extra attention use a brush or towel with a tad bit of dawn and scrub the area then spray down area with the mixture again then use a generous amount of baking soda to cover mattress (no clumps) let sit until it completely dries which usually takes about 2hrs for my king size. Vacuum real good may have to go over it twice. Steam mops are the best unless you have hardwood floors.

      I have had my carpets cleaned by a professional (not one of the cheaper companies that don't pay their employees a decent wage OR train them)! He said the only carpet cleaner to use is SPOT SHOT as it's more like a dry cleaning solution than the others, like resolve that contain soap. They leave a soapy film on your carpet that attracts dirt because it's sticky. SPOT SHOT is amazing and they even have pet formulations. It was endorsed by "Better Homes & Garden" when that meant something! I buy it at Walmart - one of the very few items I'll go in there for!

      Hi Paulette H,
      I agree with you. I think before they get their license, degree, or whatever it is they get to be legally designing houses; they should have to work for a house cleaning company for a month or more. Once they've cleaned in a hundred different homes at least a few dozen times each; they might begin to understand the design flaws for everyday usage of the space. Might even lead to designing better fixtures around the house too.
      I can't believe after all of that cleaning any man would leave such a little space between the tub, toilet, and sink after that. At least leave enough room to get the head of a sponge mop all the way around the toilet. Would be nice if they designed ranges and refrigerators on wheels to easily move them to clean under and behind. And plastic solid surfaces to use under sinks incase they leak. Floor drains anywhere there's plumbing incase of pipe leaks, pipe failure, or overflowing toilets. And easy outdoor emergency shut off valves for the water.
      I could go on for hours on all of the design flaws in the average house. But it might be easier to raise our daughters to take over architecture, and contracting jobs, with the purpose in mind of making it easier to clean and take care of, instead of maintaining the status quo that centuries of men have left us. That's my opinion, and I'm sticking to it.

      Me too. After my mother-in-law died, I'm looking at this odd brush thinking of dozens of places I could clean with that. Especially on laundry stains. Then my husband took the denture brush next time he washed the car, and it never came back to the cleaning supplies bucket. Found more at the Dollar Tree, and Walmart. Also found a pack of cleaning brushes at the Dollar Tree, with nylon bristles, wire bristles, etcetera (I forget the other ones). They're about the size of toothbrushes, and very handy. I have also learned to check the car washing buckets for any of my missing cleaning supplies; not that I'm cleaning my kitchen with them again, but that's where they disappeared to, just buy more.

    I know it’s been mentioned already, but carpet powder seriously ruins vacuums after a while, plus you never really get it all out of the carpet. When we bought new carpet last year, they mentioned not using carpet powders, they said it was abrasive to the carpet fibers, made them fuzzy and wears the carpet out quicker. If your carpets smell not so fresh because of the doggy, carpet cleaners are pretty cheap now, get a small one they are easy to maneuver and can actually clean the smell out of carpet.

      Toilet bowl cleaner works great but you have to consider your pets and small kids who walk on the floors. Cats and dogs lick their paws and can get sick from the chemicals in toilet cleaner (which often has a skull head warning on it). Children have thin porous skin and chemicals can leach into their blood. I'm a health care worker and see alot of things related to chemicals in the hospital. Also my dog has bladder cancer and many yard products have poisons and toxins in them. It's a good idea to clean the dogs paws. Especially when your dog walks everywhere on your daily jaunt.

    As a long time employee of a tile and flooring company I’m going to strongly recommend sealing that grout after you clean it. You will be able to keep it clean for over a year with simple mopping. Also actual grout cleaners and grout hacks can damage grout. If you have new tile work seal your grout every year. If you have existing grout, clean it really well, let is completely dry then seal it.

Make sure your floors are clean then apply the sealant just onto the grout lines (wipe off any excess that gets on the tile). Take your time but stay off the floors until they are completely dry. Check your particular product for drying times. Mapei and Custom both make really good sealants.

      @@infinity.1.0 You're not really sealing the tile so much as the grout. I'd contact the manufacturer of the tile, if you know who it is, to determine what you can do about sealing a terra cotta tile. I would think it's already glazed. It's the grout you want to seal to save yourself a lot of time and effort cleaning or regrouting.

    I love all your tips. I also do a quick pick up and a five minute clean every day. I don’t know if this is a great cleaning tip, but I always clean out my vacuum once a week and wash the filters. That way it is always ready and doesn’t have any nasty smells. I think it also keeps it in tip top shape; after all they can be pricey ( I have a Shark upright and a stick vac)

    Buy some grout sealer and you'll only have to reseal about every 3-5 years. Never have to clean your grout again.

    • @inmyopinionwisdom4986
      @inmyopinionwisdom4986 3 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      Yes, I AGREE WITH YOU! GROUT SEALER is an EXCELLENT DEFENSE which can help keep dirt and grime from becoming embedded in the grout, the SEALER also serves to protect the grout from deteriorating over the years, especially when keeping a regular schedule of "re-sealing" the grout as ongoing maintenance. Additionally, if you DON'T SEAL your grout, it will absorb water, bacteria, and stains. Adding a "grout sealer" protects your grout so it's water-resistant and will repel moisture and germs. Sealing the grout helps prolong the look, texture, and consistency of your grout and it prevents mildew and mold from growing!
      However, from a SANITARY viewpoint, if you desire to CLEAN/SANITIZE your grout that is good because you're actually cleaning the SURROUNDING AREAS (near the grout), as well. Especially where food preparation is taking place "AND" in bathrooms...especially shower stalls, floors, and the like!
      EXAMPLE: At my kid's school they have "grouted tiles" on the floor throughout the shower & locker room. The floors weren't being "properly" SANITIZED in SOME areas (due to down-sizing the custodial staff, etc.). Unfortunately, a handful of kids got an athlete's foot (fungus) from the tiles in the shower stall floors. Although, the grout in the showers and surrounding areas had SEALED GROUT done annually by "hired" district maintenance crews...the "sealed grout" didn't ENCOURAGE the spread of the fungus...however, the nearby tiles by the grout did!!! :-(
      Therefore, In my (personal) opinion, I think it is a good idea to do BOTH (SEAL & SANITIZE/CLEAN)!
      This is NOT defeating the purpose of SEALING THE GROUT...it's just making sure that ALL the "surrounding" areas, including the TILES (by the grout) are properly sanitized AND the very TOP surface of the GROUT is clean also. Those frisky tiny MICROORGANISMS pop up everywhere! Need a powerful microscope to SEE them all over the surfaces of stuff! :-O
      Personally, I like to RE-SEAL the grout "AND" STEAM my tiles, accordingly. ;-D

When I took it to get repaired, they said the baking soda clogs the HEPA filter and makes the motor run harder so it wears out. Ultimately it voided my warranty 😭.

Not just the ceiling, actually anywhere your dusting.
    Great for ceiling fan blades also ❤️
    You can also use Behold for wiping down the glass shower doors after cleaning works kinda like that rain x... But that rain x was a great hack thank you!! I cleaned houses for ppl for 20 some years and the butter knife hack would have been a great alternative to the puddy knife's however the puddy knife works super when you need to scrape the crustier ickyness after soaking it with your cleaning agent.
    Also used, rubbing alcohol and water for streak free mirror cleaning!!❤️

    I put a cloth down when preparing food to catch bits and always work away from these pesky gaps at the side of the cooker. I either put the bits in the bin or out to the birds if it is something they might like. Using a knife is a good tip for vents. Is baking soda ok for your vacuum cleaner? I feel sure that it could clog the expensive appliance. I use my Henry which is my garage vacuum for such jobs. Then when most powder is removed I might use an inside vacuum. I have eight dogs and their noses are 40 times more sensitive than ours. I am therefore especially careful what I use around them, which includes any unnecessary fragrance. Same goes for candles. With a family your show rack ides is very useful. A Paw Plunger is useful too in helping to reduce the amount of allergens which sensitive dogs can bring in and bother then in the future. Just keep the item clean and use fresh water every time. Also keep the fur trimmed on the bottom of their paws. Your home looks lovely. Thank you for sharing.
