These videos are invaluable to those who want a germ free clean house. They show what does a good job and what is a waste of money, time and effort. You do the testing, so we don't have to. I appreciate your hard work. Thank you for your videos.
Thank you for the kind words!! I really love testing products to see how they work in my home in a real world situation. I am so glad that you find these videos helpful!
This is a perfect example of just because something looks clean it doesn't mean it IS clean. Thanks for doing this.
Exactly! That is why I created this channel. So many cleaning channels say "this works!" but how do they know!?!?!? Thanks for watching!
This video serves as a fantastic control setting for all the rest of the videos on this channel. This could mean that any cleaner that does not perform at the same level as these results is not just bad but actively preventing your attempt at cleaning.
YES!!!!! Exactly!!!!! Thank you for watching and commenting!
These videos have revolutionized my opinions of what clean means and the capability of all to double check their own work.
Thank you so much! I love testing products to see if their claims match my real world results!!!!
Results are about as I expected. Thank you so much for the effort you put into these tests/video uploads.
I agree, this is a nice baseline so we can see when I test a spray product and use a papertowel to wipe, the papertowel isn't having a large impact! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for all your hard work, happy birthday!!!! Hope you have a wonderful day!🎉
Thank you so very much!! Your support is appreciated!!
Thank you. Take care.
You are welcome! Thanks for watching!
This was so interesting! I was taught in my microbiology class that scubbing when cleaning will rip holes in the cell membranes of germs, spilling their 'guts' out. lol It did kinda work but I think a little bleach is the way to go. So glad you're doing these experiments for us!
The mechanical scrubbing is what Norwex and E Cloth claim as well, so I am testing all sorts of stuff to see what really works on my home! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thanks!
Thank you very much!!! I truly appreciate your support!!! Thank you!! ❤️
You should try Great Value Disinfecting wipes and Great Value Cleaner with Bleach and also Great Value Mold and mildew cleaner as I am gonna buy them soon but want to make sure they are perfect for my home, Hope you can do it in one day
I will add those to my viewer suggestion list!! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Great baseline! Really enjoy your videos, thank you
Yes! This way we can see that a product is really doing the work and not my papertowels!
Hello. Can you also pls do a comparison of bacteria left from handwashing vs using a dishwasher?
I will add that idea to my viewer suggestion list! Thanks!
I've been wondering about this, this is great info, thanks!
Yes, seems to be a good baseline so when I am testing spray products where I have to wipe with a papertowel, we can see that the papertowel does not have a large impact. Thanks for your continued support!
I have always wondered about difference between hand washing dirty dishes and using a dishwasher.
I grew up only handwashing piles of dishes. I always wondered how clean was that last pot or plate getting after doing a whole dinners worth of dishes in a sink of soap and water. Now that I have a dishwasher I wonder how clean really are the dishes getting with all that food particles floating/ flying all around.
Could you rest this.
That is an interesting test, I will add it to my viewer suggestion list! Thanks for watching!
What about washing your hands in the sink, does simply using your sink keep it clean?
What about just flushing the toilet? I know tons of people who think just flushing means the toilet is suddenly bacteria free.
I have taken many many swabs of my kitchen and bathroom sink over these past 2 years, and I think it is safe to say that regular daily use of hand washing does not keep the sink clean. As for the toilet bowl I have many videos about before and after cleaning the toilet, and again my before samples usually have a ton of bacteria so in my opinion flushing is not enough. Here is my toilet bowl playlist ruclips.net/p/PL6P5xAP9Rj6KvuUwdimssZK1LgszaZ_fx
Could you do a vlog style video of how you clean different areas of your home. Cause I’m confused. When I disinfect my bathroom surfaces like counter tops, sinks, shower, should I use a sponge? And if so, aren’t I just spreading bacteria? 😫 I’m moving out on my own for the first time and I want to make sure I’m cleaning the right way lol also I’m curious out of all the product reviews, what products and cleaning utensils you prefer around your home. Thx
I will add that idea to my viewer suggestion list. I am making a video about 5 of my favorite cleaning tools for February. I haven't done many vlog style videos but I will consider doing that. For now, when you are cleaning a bathroom use pre-moisten wipes (Lysol, 7th Generation Disinfecting) or a spray with paper towels. The bathroom is one area that I do not use sponges or rags, except for the shower/tub. So for sink and toilet - paper towels and spray or wipes. The shower I use white cotton cloths. The kitchen counters and sink I usually use a spray (Mrs Meyers, or Purell) with a white cotton cloth or Lysol Wipes. Some people like to clean with a soap product like Dr Bronner's, then use a disinfectant or sanitizer. GOOD LUCK!

No matter which way we try to skip out on cleaning, we still have to clean them dirty germs away. 😢
True. This just helps serve as a good baseline, so when I am testing a spray product that I need to wipe with a papertowel, at least we know that the paper towel does not have an impact on the results. Thanks for watching!
Hi! I wondered if you could test e-cloths. They are meant to be used without cleaners, and they claim that they remove bacteria from surfaces.
I do have E- cloths on my list to be tested! I have tested Norwex cloths which also claim to remove bacteria with just water..those results are hit and miss!

Hi! New to your channel. I was wondering if its possible to do the same test but the difference of water temprature. I am curious to see if theres is a difference of using cold or hot water to clean. Technically, most of the bacteria found in sinks (e. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, salmonella, etc) should not survive at 60 if not 70 celcius. That means that if water above the temperature 60/70 degrees C is used on bacteria then a change on before/after should be easily visible when compared to cold water.
That is an interesting idea, I will add it to my viewer suggestion list! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Could you possibly do Clorox Scentiva disinfecting spray?
I will add Clorox Scentiva to my viewer suggestion list! Thank you!
I'd be interested to know if you've not done it already, if you made a bleach spray with water for sterilising if it loses its effectiveness after 1 day, 2 days, 3 days etc to which point the spray is useless. I often make up a spray for cleaning and wondered how soon it becomes ineffective
I have not tested efficacy with respect to time for bleach spray.. that would be a great test! Thanks for the suggestion!
I was wondering if those gels that you stick in your toilet bowl actually keep it clean. Or those cleaners that you put in the toilet tank. Do they keep your toilet clean or do they just turn the water blue?
I will add those sticky toilet bowl things to my list, I have been curious too. The ones that go in the toilet tank I haven't touched yet because a plumber friend said that they can eat away at the rubber gaskets in the tank... and I don't want any toilet issues!! HA!
@@FieldOfFocus yes, all plumbers say the tank ones degrade the parts
New to your channel, have you done just soap and water yet? Say, Dawn soapy water for the kitchen sink?
I don't think I've commented about it yet but I've been thinking I'd like a video testing soap and water. Probably wouldn't be my go-to for counters due to the potential mess and the hassle of rinsing but if it works well in plumbing fixtures, theres no sense in using an extra cleaning product.
Edit: Might be interesting to test boiling water in the sink too. Maybe with a brush rather than a sponge..
