I named my Roomba “herd of moose” so when I tell Alexa to have Roomba clean, she says okay I’ll tell herd of moose to vacuum…it makes me giggle every time.
@@abarton1978 Oh for sure! I was afraid to walk out to my car but then I remembered that I have mastered the art of the cleaning spin kick and started escorting the convention moose out. I only had to spin kick one Moose and the rest left me alone after that. They didn't want to be spin kick cleaned. The one I kicked was so clean he smelled like a new car.
We have been in this house 17 years. I clean the garage about every six months or so. Well, 3 weeks ago I got in there and I got rid of everything, I had my car full of donations, my curb was full of extra carpet from 10 yrs ago, a big rug and just crap. I took everything off every shelve and took shelves outside and cleaned those. Swept under where the shelves were and swept the walls. I know what your back feels like now after all that. It took me 3 days. ❤❤❤
😆👍 Earlier this week I was watching them at a house that was infested with roaches, and some parts of the video were close up, and I lay down watching it on a 17'' pc screen .. I had to pause the video 3 or 4 times because it looked like some roaches walking on my screen. I was so scared! I have a mental illness of not cleaning/ hoarding but I have no roaches in the house. 😨🤯
❤P.S. 🧠 As someone with brain injury from Carbon Monoxide poisoning, I would like to give this lady, a digital CO detector for the room with the dryer exhaust blowing in. Before, it didn't matter, but now, with a cool lounge area... While I don't have much money right now, I *can* do this because I am cleaning out my Mom's house and Ma has a whole collection of them, new-in-box that I found (in a drawer otherwise filled with penguins and elephants doing spin kick battles with light sabres). If there is an address on your FB page or whatnot, I'll send it there. I think there are enough to send her one - plus one for you & Emily, and one for Jason's home. Be safe!
@@AmyC37217 Unfortunately, I'm sure it's state by state and county by county for free availability, as my county / town has no free CO detectors. That being said, it's a great resource you just shared if it's out there.
I'm so sorry you ended up with lifelong complications from it. In the early 90s, my uncle was grilling, it started to rain, so he brought the grill inside to finish. Only one of my cousins was alert enough to call 911 when after he couldn't wake the rest of the family. Luckily, everyone lived.

PSA from a professional in the power washing industry: PLEASE do NOT power wash the inside of a garage unless everything in that garage is made of water proof material. If you power wash the inside of a place that has any wood or drywall you will cause mold problems.
@ImNotaRussianBot Mac said he wants to come back to power wash the garage. It appears the walls are drywall. It's a common misconception that this would be a good idea due to people online posting videos of it.
I love how you explain the what & why of your decluttering and cleaning methods all peppered with embedded jokes. It was so sweet of you to include the interior of her home because it will make her visit with her child so much better. She won't be worried and distracted thinking about the condition of her home. BTW-Having watched many of videos you are one of the few people I would ever let go through my stuff without supervision. You are very careful and conscious of what is important. Thanks for all you do for so many people
The amount of my family members injured by 1 of those, 5 head injuries involving stitches, 7 leg injuries involving stitches..... there's more not sure it's all the tables fault or because we are all accidentpown I never got stitches at my grandparents house pretty lucky out of 13 grandkids
I have two of them and I adore them! My grandma had two touch lamps with the glass petal shades on them and I got those as well. It's so 70s but I love it so much.
The second any pets show up on screen my attention is GONE. I'm not listening to you or watching you clean anymore, just watching the cute little fur babies checking out your hard work. ❤
The other day my wife was making plans for Easter dinner, having a few friends over. Said she was making a ham, potatoes, several veggies, and dinner rolls. Asked me if I thought chocolate mousse would be good for dessert. Told her, "No, just some of those little chocolate bunnies, should be enough."
It's a miracle! The stove! The Stove!!! For everyone out there I have a tip for the top of the fridge. Put a cotton cloth cut to the size of the fridge then when you clean it next year just toss in the wash. You could double stick tape it but I don't find that necessary.
Top of the cabinets too, if they're exposed. Or if you're really lazy use paper towel and you can throw it away, but something washable is probably more absorbent. My apartment doesn't have an extractor fan over the stove, which should be a CRIME, so mine get pretty grimey.
I love how you help people out with cleaning their places. I find it relaxing to see order come from chaos. Your personality makes it all come together and helps me to smile and laugh when that does not come easy. Today, my cat was enthralled with watching Jason run around in the garage lol. Thank you for all that you do for those you help!! Enjoy your weekend.
I love your voice and how you explain what you do. I´m autistic with adhd and have trouble keeping things neat, sorted and to donate the things I no longer use. Your content hepls me sort out both emotions around those things and how to get started somewhere, anywhere - without getting overwhelmed by the size of the mess. Sorry if my english is not the best, not my language. Now I´m going to go into the kittchen and kick all the polarbears and raindeer into symetric order. ;) Thank you so much for just being there for all of us.
I am an adult living with my parents still, so is my sister, because it's just not affordable for all four of us to not. In any case, my parents both have hoarders tendencies in that they keep objects, but not so much garbage. Anywho, sister and I recently took a week off work together and spent it cleaning a room every day. Might sound like a shitty vacation but it was nice not thinking about work and just getting stuff done for an entire week. Anywho, one of the things my mom hoards is plastic containers from takeout. She will wash them and reuse them for tupperware. Thing is, we had a cabinet full of tupperware. We ended up resorting the tupperware cabinet, but we matched up lids and stacked them like that in there (donating things that had no matches/were old/no longer used/had to use anymore) and we did that because we had gone through that cabinet before and restacked things... thing was when we stacked them without lids matching, she claimed she could not find matches and that is why she started hoarding the junk. Anywho, so far so good with this new method and thought I'd pass it on as it might be a future solution. It certainly doesn't look as nice because it takes up more room, but practically speaking it works out better for our family.
When I was in my 20's a lady was taking vacation to clean closets and do some painting. I thought that was odd. Now in my 60's, I take days to get things done though I think I will get so much more done than I can. I am still happy with what I got done, but quickly overwhelmed by the rest.
Watch Dana K White and use the container concept to be the bad guy… say we only have this cupboard for Tupperware so what fits can be kept. Everything else goes. When she wants to add another, you say ok you can put that in, but what shall we throw out to make room?
There is a neurological reason for that, and it's why I watch others doing anything it is that I want to motivate myself to do: it's called mirror neurons! We are all born with them, that's why kids unconsciously mirror/mimic what adults do. As far as I know we have a tendency to do this all through our lives. It's one way I put RUclips to work for me, supporting my brain to do what I want.
I have! It started a couple years ago when I began watching a channel run by a woman who owned a professional cleaning company, then I started watching Auri and MMC. I also watch professional home carpet and floor cleaners. I need a regular stream of cleaning content to keep me motivated, fight against my ADHD mess, my chronic illness, and ever-present desire to lay down 😅
Mac, and Jason, seeing you guys in these videos always brighten my days. Since watching you grow and hear Mac's talk I've even been able to help my own habits cleaning as I'm on the spectrum and ADHD and it's always been hard for me. Thanks for all your hard work and I wish for nothing but the most success with the channel so you can help even more people.
I only found your channel about a month ago. And I am addicted to watching them all! You are exactly what I need for moving. I am Handicapped with progressive MS, and I have a caregiver 4days/wk. But I will be moving from my 1244 sq ft Home to a 420 SQ FT Senior apt when my name comes up on a waitlist. My name Just jumped up A bunch, so I am all of a sudden scared that it will happen in a year or less. My caregiver works so hard, taking care of me, dishes, laundry, etc., but there is never time to start going through things/packing. Every day I look around and say oh I just want to group X items, etc. I found an organizing svc but even senior rate is $55/hr. So I think I watch your videos dreaming of a team like you and your son would whip it out In no time and with such common sense of grouping items. I used to be such an organizer! Love your videos. BTW, know of anyone in Half Moon Bay, CA?
You can vent that dryer into a bucket of water. Add a section of large hose to the vent. 5 gallon bucket and lid. Cut a hole into the lid. Put the hose into the hole.
I love your channel. After I found it, your content--the recording, the editing, and the really helpful, enlightening commentary--was the thing that finally got through to me and helped me begin decluttering. Seeing my life reflected in spaces like this, and then seeing how you demolish and transform them back into a warm and cozy home while explaining how it can be done, really helped me visualize such a change in my own life. You helped me realize it was attainable, and something I deserved. I've decluttered a few spots in my house so far, most notably so far I've produced three 110L, three 60L, and two 30L bags worth of clothes (I eyeballed these measurements but it seems right) for a total of 570L of clothes I'm donating/gifting/selling. Clothes have been the biggest thing I've been "collecting" from compulsive buying over the years, and it feels really, really crazy to downsize so much. But it also feels freeing. Once they're gone gone, I'll feel better. I'm already looking forward to getting rid of all my extra shoes... I'm also excited to keep watching your videos and learn how to properly clean. Once more of my surfaces are cleared, I'm going to have a field day with the Mr. Clean. The alcohol solution after the Mr. Clean might be a gamechanger for me, as I have two cats and one is really sensitive to strong smells, so I feel like that solution, or a white vinegar solution, would help neutralize chemical odors afterwards. I will have to try that out, anyway. I wanted to say all of this here because I don't really have someone in my life I can share this with who "gets" it. I just wanted to celebrate my wins and sharing here helps me feel like someone is proud of me for what I've accomplished! Thank you so much for doing what you do!
Random comment here....your sped up video cleaning up the kitchen makes your foot steps sound like my kitten running around my house in the wee hours! The pitter patter is just killing me! 🤣
As an assemblage artist, I know how constant my organisation of my supplies is to me and my work. Even with a limited space I find, out of sight, out of mind. Ty as always for allowing others to feel the joy (even for a moment lol) knowing what they already have. God bless you and amen. 🇬🇧
During covid when we couldn't find hand sanitizer or alcohol, someone suggested going to an auto paint place. I went there and got a gallon that was almost pure, so I just had to water it down a little bit to get to 70%. It was so much cheaper!
My husband does this cool thing with our drier vent during the winter. He took a 5 gallon bucket and drilled about 5 2" holes around the edge of the lid and then one large hole in the center that the vent hose can fit in. He then puts about 3 to 4 inches of water in the bottom of the bucket. He attaches the vent hose and then puts the lid back on the bucket. It catches the lent but gives us free heat during the winter in our basement.
Somehow I found your channel a few weeks ago and can only thank you for your heart of gold. Your compassion in understanding and helping people is inspiring! As for me, my sewing room is one of those "where to start" rooms. Also I get easily distracted and squirrels are always vying for my attention. Other parts of my house are cleaner than usual thanks to APC. Keep up the good work, you're amazing.
There is nothing like waking up at 3 in the morning, clicking on your video and laughing hysterically at your strange but effective humor. Sigh. Love it. I mean who doesn't need a good laugh at 3 a.m.? I was inspired to clean my kitchen tomorrow.
I decided to watch your spin kick this house into a super clean moose house, early. lol! I know she couldn’t wait to come back to a gorgeous home with spring around the corner. Your intricate design with how you manage all your clients houses with just the right color (windows, etc) is so refreshing to me! Jason, btw, is getting super good with declutterring or organizing. Way to go y’all and see ya in the next video! 😊
I love not only the comedic commentary of course, but the tips on cleaning and organizing as you go. Also the information and tips on the mental space and even mental health. Thank you for this and your compassion.
You are a blessing to all the people you help. Also thank you for all your advice. There is something so relaxing about taking a break and watching you guys make order from chaos. When you do the filming in real time it always throws me because I’ve become so used to the speed ups!
I love watching your videos because every time I do, it encourages me to tackle one more spot in my house. This video encouraged me to deep clean the kitchen sink and under the sink and get everything organized under there.
Recently stumbled across your vlogs and I have to say a huge thank you. I have now watched many video's and subscribed. I have been very depressed, I lost my Mom to cancer, my Dad to Dementia and had previously lost my daughter to depression. I use to love cleaning and organizing with my ocd I organize....lol. After my Dad passing I just gave up but watching your passion also for cleaning I have started again and the sense of pleasure and accomplishment has returned plus I tried your APC recipe and love the results. Thank you very much again, I am now once again in a clean and sanitary home. 😊
My moose Bullwinkle got a big kick out of your moose reference! He even did his moose laugh. People come from miles away just to hear his moose laugh. Great job, guys! 🫎
I love to see your videos helping folks. Al Blades videos are him helping folks with bad yards. Dumpster diving momma of 2 videos are het helping multiple refuges and mental health facilities. So many RUclipsrs doing stuff for free to help others. Its wonderful and does my heart good to watch xx
This was so helpful for this family. They can now have a nice visit with their daughter and not have to wear themselves out beforehand. It is so nice that you might come back and help with landscaping. I like when you do something extra because you know how and it helps the people so much.. Such as in the home with soot... you painted, repaired walls and fixed some plumbing. That was awesome. Good for Jason to learn from you. I didn't have patience to learn from my parents when I had the opportunity.
This was a great video! It’s always a pleasure to watch you, Jason and your daughter, restore order and cleanliness from chaos! I love your moderation and occasional silliness! Thank you
I love that you guys are so systematic. It makes watching these videos so freaking satisfying! Thanks for helping these people who struggle with organization.
And that little sitting space area he created 😊 I always like to imagine how happy the face of the homeowner is too. I can just imagine the joy that'll last a few days too. 😊❤
Ohhh I want to try film myself and make a video just for me of cleaning my entire house. You have given me inspiration. My Daughter is coming home for a visit after 5 years of being away. And she's bringing home my toddler Grandchildren. They are staying in my house and my Dad is too old to really do everyday cleaning so I really need to do major cleaning especially since we have pets in our home too. Your humor adds a smile to my day. Thank you.
I was cleaning out my dads garage recently and found expired canned food from 2009 and he didn’t want to throw it out because “it still might be good” and all I could think of was “let the green bean go” I’m definitely gonna have to get that shirt. 😂😂😂
What a kind service to do. What a relief for that woman to have a kitchen cleaned for her daughters visit. She must have been so grateful...I certainly would have been.
I’m sure you get thanked all the time. but wow, I did want to thank you if there was only more people like you in this world. I about cry after each video. I used to be such a neat freak and it irritated everybody, but no longer and I can’t seem to get myself out of it and I just look around and I can’t do it.. just knowing there are people around in this world like you it’s pretty awesome.
Such a great organizing video!! You made a usable garage! I am in love with my SOS pads. They get the crud off. Your scrapping and cleaning methods are fantastic! I also love that when you are done the people can find all of there stuff, and it is all organized. It bugs me when someone "cleans" and really just throws everything away. That is a cop out. Then the people have to get new stuff and it is not organized. If they can keep it like you do it, it will stay, and you have really helped them! Have a great week!
I've had two Bona mops in the past and both broke in the first couple of years. I now have a Swiffer mop I've had for twice as long as I had either Bona. I don't use the disposable pads on it, I use the Bona reusable ones. They hang over the edges because they are longer, but they still do a fabulous job. I've also figured out how to get the Swiffer mop solution bottles open so I can reuse them with my own floor cleaner.
Agree! Years ago, I stored in a storage unit. I ended up storing items much longer than I expected. Even though I got a good price per month, years later, I realized I could have rebought everything I stored five times over. So good advise for all that this would apply to. Wish I would have had a post like this to consider.
Thank you so much for the comedic additions to your video. I have such anxiety when it comes to cleaning my home so at first I was apprehensive about watching. I have to say, I laughed out loud more times than I can remember and you've even encouraged me to do "some" cleaning😍of my place
INCREDIBLE MACK‼️‼️ Gotta say something here… Jason is truly a terrific son! He impresses me that he’s with you on all these videos working his Fanny 🤪 off. And CONGRATULATIONS to him on his coming baby!!! Can’t leave the handsome silly GRANDPA out in thise CONGRATULATIONS either! I’m sure your entire family is crazy happy with this next generation coming! I was when mine began… then when the Greats started??? Holy shit!!! Made me feel older than dirt!! Then I met those beautiful little people!!! Having my children was the most rewarding and joyful thing of my life!!! Truly! When the Grands started coming and now into their 20s? The youngest one will be 18 in September, still close enough to the 20s… But these awesome people have made my like than I EVER dreamed possible!!! Of course the 2 youngest I practically raised and are in a super special category, but they are the true lights of my life. Mack, you’re fixing to find out that the new generation is gonna turn you into a big pile of MUSH!!! ❤❤❤ I never would’ve thought that possible in my life, but you’ll soon see. I already heard your amazed and delighted joy on the announcement vid… these new little people are gonna ROCK YOUR WORLD like it’s never been rocked! I look forward to every one of your delightful, informative and inspiring videos… keep them coming! Also want to congratulate you AND… Emily in yalls new and fancy ( said Mack style) rides! Sounds like y’all have worked hard and been through enough to deserve and appreciate them!! Good on both y’all!!! I keep Emily’s health and yalls strength in my prayers as well. Mentioned in one of my back messages that I had lived in Rantoul, Il so u have a clue about your town/area… seems almost as if Illinois has more land than even Texas! But y’all are in an agricultural area, we just don’t do stuff with this land. A lot of it isn’t fit to live on or fit any kind of use… so that’s why there’s so much more land here… 🤪🙄 Love y’all and take care. Gonna finish watching this video..
The kitchen cabinets remind me of my mom's. The same plain birch cabinets and the hardware matches hers. Though mom's is copper vs black. Always liked the hardware. Nice cleanup. Great motivation to get up and deal with my own clutter
I named my Roomba “herd of moose” so when I tell Alexa to have Roomba clean, she says okay I’ll tell herd of moose to vacuum…it makes me giggle every time.

Man! I am so not an automated homeperson, but that would be fun!
I came across a Moose convention recently and they were all pretty straight forward that they don't want to mess with you. Their stories were wild.
This is a hoot!
Except for the moose in the parking lot who were all smoking stogies and drinking 40's out of paper bags. Those heckin moose were belligerent.

When I was in my 20's a lady was taking vacation to clean closets and do some painting. I thought that was odd. Now in my 60's, I take days to get things done though I think I will get so much more done than I can. I am still happy with what I got done, but quickly overwhelmed by the rest.
Watch Dana K White and use the container concept to be the bad guy… say we only have this cupboard for Tupperware so what fits can be kept. Everything else goes. When she wants to add another, you say ok you can put that in, but what shall we throw out to make room?
The before and after pictures really say it all. It is so calming to see a space tidied and cleaned. Very motivating
Since I've been watching your channel I've been doing more deep cleaning of my own around home.
Just wondering how many others have been motivated?
Probably lots!! Me included. Love this channel ❤
There is a neurological reason for that, and it's why I watch others doing anything it is that I want to motivate myself to do: it's called mirror neurons! We are all born with them, that's why kids unconsciously mirror/mimic what adults do. As far as I know we have a tendency to do this all through our lives. It's one way I put RUclips to work for me, supporting my brain to do what I want.
@@Wayfarer889thank you, that’s really interesting.
I have! It started a couple years ago when I began watching a channel run by a woman who owned a professional cleaning company, then I started watching Auri and MMC. I also watch professional home carpet and floor cleaners. I need a regular stream of cleaning content to keep me motivated, fight against my ADHD mess, my chronic illness, and ever-present desire to lay down 😅
*raises hand* me! Have already gone through my first batch of APC!
I love that you put up curtains.
I like how the traffic sounds like formula 1 racecars when they speed up the video. 😂
same 😂
I also like how sometimes it sounds like they're the ones making the noise
I grew up in the Midwest in the 80's, and seeing the interior of this place brings back memories.
Mac, and Jason, seeing you guys in these videos always brighten my days. Since watching you grow and hear Mac's talk I've even been able to help my own habits cleaning as I'm on the spectrum and ADHD and it's always been hard for me. Thanks for all your hard work and I wish for nothing but the most success with the channel so you can help even more people.
Hard to believe how nice that stove looks after you cleaned it! You are not only good--you are real good!!!
I only found your channel about a month ago. And I am addicted to watching them all! You are exactly what I need for moving. I am Handicapped with progressive MS, and I have a caregiver 4days/wk. But I will be moving from my 1244 sq ft Home to a 420 SQ FT Senior apt when my name comes up on a waitlist. My name Just jumped up A bunch, so I am all of a sudden scared that it will happen in a year or less. My caregiver works so hard, taking care of me, dishes, laundry, etc., but there is never time to start going through things/packing. Every day I look around and say oh I just want to group X items, etc. I found an organizing svc but even senior rate is $55/hr. So I think I watch your videos dreaming of a team like you and your son would whip it out In no time and with such common sense of grouping items. I used to be such an organizer! Love your videos. BTW, know of anyone in Half Moon Bay, CA?
You can vent that dryer into a bucket of water. Add a section of large hose to the vent. 5 gallon bucket and lid. Cut a hole into the lid. Put the hose into the hole.
I love your channel. After I found it, your content--the recording, the editing, and the really helpful, enlightening commentary--was the thing that finally got through to me and helped me begin decluttering. Seeing my life reflected in spaces like this, and then seeing how you demolish and transform them back into a warm and cozy home while explaining how it can be done, really helped me visualize such a change in my own life. You helped me realize it was attainable, and something I deserved.
I've decluttered a few spots in my house so far, most notably so far I've produced three 110L, three 60L, and two 30L bags worth of clothes (I eyeballed these measurements but it seems right) for a total of 570L of clothes I'm donating/gifting/selling. Clothes have been the biggest thing I've been "collecting" from compulsive buying over the years, and it feels really, really crazy to downsize so much. But it also feels freeing. Once they're gone gone, I'll feel better. I'm already looking forward to getting rid of all my extra shoes...
I'm also excited to keep watching your videos and learn how to properly clean. Once more of my surfaces are cleared, I'm going to have a field day with the Mr. Clean. The alcohol solution after the Mr. Clean might be a gamechanger for me, as I have two cats and one is really sensitive to strong smells, so I feel like that solution, or a white vinegar solution, would help neutralize chemical odors afterwards. I will have to try that out, anyway.
I wanted to say all of this here because I don't really have someone in my life I can share this with who "gets" it. I just wanted to celebrate my wins and sharing here helps me feel like someone is proud of me for what I've accomplished!
Thank you so much for doing what you do!
Random comment here....your sped up video cleaning up the kitchen makes your foot steps sound like my kitten running around my house in the wee hours! The pitter patter is just killing me! 🤣
As an assemblage artist, I know how constant my organisation of my supplies is to me and my work. Even with a limited space I find, out of sight, out of mind. Ty as always for allowing others to feel the joy (even for a moment lol) knowing what they already have. God bless you and amen. 🇬🇧
During covid when we couldn't find hand sanitizer or alcohol, someone suggested going to an auto paint place. I went there and got a gallon that was almost pure, so I just had to water it down a little bit to get to 70%. It was so much cheaper!
She trusts you for your faces, your names and your stellar reputations. Well done. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏼👍🏼🇬🇧
My husband does this cool thing with our drier vent during the winter. He took a 5 gallon bucket and drilled about 5 2" holes around the edge of the lid and then one large hole in the center that the vent hose can fit in. He then puts about 3 to 4 inches of water in the bottom of the bucket. He attaches the vent hose and then puts the lid back on the bucket. It catches the lent but gives us free heat during the winter in our basement.
Something about this house is making me feel so nostalgic. It's super cozy. I grew up in The Midwest in the 80's.
Me too
“Steel wool comes from metal sheep”. FINALLY,a sensible explanation!
Somehow I found your channel a few weeks ago and can only thank you for your heart of gold. Your compassion in understanding and helping people is inspiring! As for me, my sewing room is one of those "where to start" rooms. Also I get easily distracted and squirrels are always vying for my attention. Other parts of my house are cleaner than usual thanks to APC. Keep up the good work, you're amazing.
If your grand baby's first words are "moose face", your DIL just might throttle you. 🤣🤣🤣
What if baby's first words are "suck it"? 😂😂😂😂
I see you bought yourself some better fitting pants. Better scenery!
Is there any way to clean a really burned on glass cooktop?
Love how u two work together
There is nothing like waking up at 3 in the morning, clicking on your video and laughing hysterically at your strange but effective humor. Sigh. Love it. I mean who doesn't need a good laugh at 3 a.m.? I was inspired to clean my kitchen tomorrow.
This garage is SO nicely finished. And, now with better use capacity. You all did awesome work!
I decided to watch your spin kick this house into a super clean moose house, early. lol! I know she couldn’t wait to come back to a gorgeous home with spring around the corner.
Your intricate design with how you manage all your clients houses with just the right color (windows, etc) is so refreshing to me! Jason, btw, is getting super good with declutterring or organizing.
Way to go y’all and see ya in the next video! 😊
Steel wool comes from metal sheep, ahhh life is finally starting to make sense....😂😂
I love not only the comedic commentary of course, but the tips on cleaning and organizing as you go. Also the information and tips on the mental space and even mental health. Thank you for this and your compassion.
GET YOUR MOTOR RUNNIN! 🤣 Mack You moved the motorcycle well. You looked good on that beast!
Not gonna lie. Was really waiting for him to just start it up and roar outta there😂
You are a blessing to all the people you help. Also thank you for all your advice.
There is something so relaxing about taking a break and watching you guys make order from chaos.
When you do the filming in real time it always throws me because I’ve become so used to the speed ups!
Who else watches these as their cleaning motivation/ therapy? All hands raise.
I love watching your videos because every time I do, it encourages me to tackle one more spot in my house. This video encouraged me to deep clean the kitchen sink and under the sink and get everything organized under there.
SAME!
Recently stumbled across your vlogs and I have to say a huge thank you. I have now watched many video's and subscribed. I have been very depressed, I lost my Mom to cancer, my Dad to Dementia and had previously lost my daughter to depression. I use to love cleaning and organizing with my ocd I organize....lol. After my Dad passing I just gave up but watching your passion also for cleaning I have started again and the sense of pleasure and accomplishment has returned plus I tried your APC recipe and love the results. Thank you very much again, I am now once again in a clean and sanitary home. 😊
Love how little rubber ducks show up in cleaning videos 😂
Somebody should make a compilation 😂
My moose Bullwinkle got a big kick out of your moose reference! He even did his moose laugh. People come from miles away just to hear his moose laugh. Great job, guys! 🫎
Another great job you guys! I bet this lady is beyond grateful!,
I love to see your videos helping folks. Al Blades videos are him helping folks with bad yards. Dumpster diving momma of 2 videos are het helping multiple refuges and mental health facilities. So many RUclipsrs doing stuff for free to help others. Its wonderful and does my heart good to watch xx
love your channel....thank you for taking time to do this and for blessing others. love you integrity too!
Omg. I’m loving that work bench. Has been properly worked. And can be again after y’all are through. God bless and amen. 💪🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🇬🇧
It's great that not only you help them by cleaning but organizing in a way that makes sense to be very useful for anyone. 😊
And I love Adrienne’s new moose and green beans designs!! She’s talented. ❤️
This was so helpful for this family. They can now have a nice visit with their daughter and not have to wear themselves out beforehand. It is so nice that you might come back and help with landscaping. I like when you do something extra because you know how and it helps the people so much.. Such as in the home with soot... you painted, repaired walls and fixed some plumbing. That was awesome. Good for Jason to learn from you. I didn't have patience to learn from my parents when I had the opportunity.
Great job as always! God bless for helping this homeowner ❤❤
Moose. Speedos. "Wood". 😆 🤣 😂 never a dull moment.
This was a great video! It’s always a pleasure to watch you, Jason and your daughter, restore order and cleanliness from chaos! I love your moderation and occasional silliness! Thank you
“I’m not censoring it” TOOK ME ALL THE WAY OUT. THE WAY I LOVE YOU AND YOUR CHANNEL 😂
And it was super tight!
I love that you guys are so systematic. It makes watching these videos so freaking satisfying! Thanks for helping these people who struggle with organization.
Oh I can feel the JOY she will have having a space for her CAR! 🙌🏼😁🇬🇧
And that little sitting space area he created 😊 I always like to imagine how happy the face of the homeowner is too. I can just imagine the joy that'll last a few days too. 😊❤
Ohhh I want to try film myself and make a video just for me of cleaning my entire house. You have given me inspiration. My Daughter is coming home for a visit after 5 years of being away. And she's bringing home my toddler Grandchildren. They are staying in my house and my Dad is too old to really do everyday cleaning so I really need to do major cleaning especially since we have pets in our home too. Your humor adds a smile to my day. Thank you.
I am here for the commentary. He cracks me up. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!!!!
You and your son are amazing. Thanks for doing this and helping others. ❤️
You are the king of clean up -rock on and on!
You are a powerhouse!!! And you are so funny too!! Thank you BOTH for the hard work you do….and for free!!….you are what’s good in the world!!!
Excellent cleaning/organizing video! Worth the wait 👏
I was cleaning out my dads garage recently and found expired canned food from 2009 and he didn’t want to throw it out because “it still might be good” and all I could think of was “let the green bean go” I’m definitely gonna have to get that shirt. 😂😂😂
What a kind service to do. What a relief for that woman to have a kitchen cleaned for her daughters visit. She must have been so grateful...I certainly would have been.
Awesome job!! Great to see you back doing your thing!!🎉❤🎉
Your cabinets shine like the smile of the moose 🫎! Love ❤️ your work!
We’re all pretty much committed to watch all summer so we don’t miss power washing in speedos.
🐃 (no moose icon)
Notice the STOVE TOP! Yes SIR!
I lost it when he commanded us to NOTICE THE STOVE. Like, what are you so mad about?
The more I watch your videos the more I recognize how much we think a like when organizing.
I love the way you tackle stuff like this. It makes so much sense to me.
I use angled crevice brushes for a lot of my cleaning. They easily get into those stove ridges and corners.
I’m sure you get thanked all the time. but wow, I did want to thank you if there was only more people like you in this world. I about cry after each video. I used to be such a neat freak and it irritated everybody, but no longer and I can’t seem to get myself out of it and I just look around and I can’t do it.. just knowing there are people around in this world like you it’s pretty awesome.
A decorative basket to disguise the power strip could work wonders.
Good idea 😊
Adrian knocked it out of the park with that moose face 😂😂😂 great work as always by the whole MMC team.
I forgot that Old English was also a furniture polish, for a second I thought you meant the beer. 😂
Hello you two are miracle workers you left that family a new home and a bew stove I learn so much from you!!
Those cabinets are shining! It must have been a great feeling for the owner to see this transformation before having her visit.
Such a great organizing video!! You made a usable garage! I am in love with my SOS pads. They get the crud off. Your scrapping and cleaning methods are fantastic! I also love that when you are done the people can find all of there stuff, and it is all organized. It bugs me when someone "cleans" and really just throws everything away. That is a cop out. Then the people have to get new stuff and it is not organized. If they can keep it like you do it, it will stay, and you have really helped them! Have a great week!
I've had two Bona mops in the past and both broke in the first couple of years. I now have a Swiffer mop I've had for twice as long as I had either Bona. I don't use the disposable pads on it, I use the Bona reusable ones. They hang over the edges because they are longer, but they still do a fabulous job. I've also figured out how to get the Swiffer mop solution bottles open so I can reuse them with my own floor cleaner.
"The point is: I can beat up a moose."
Looking forward to repeating this during the annual guys' camping trip this summer.
Nice work, as always.
What might be interesting is helping clean out commercial storage units to free up hundreds of dollars of monthly rent.
Agree! Years ago, I stored in a storage unit. I ended up storing items much longer than I expected. Even though I got a good price per month, years later, I realized I could have rebought everything I stored five times over. So good advise for all that this would apply to. Wish I would have had a post like this to consider.
Wow you have lots of patience n kindness. Stove is as good as new.
Those cabinets cleaned and shined really well. Love to watch you two clean.
Thank you so much for the comedic additions to your video. I have such anxiety when it comes to cleaning my home so at first I was apprehensive about watching. I have to say, I laughed out loud more times than I can remember and you've even encouraged me to do "some" cleaning😍of my place
The garage looks awesome, but Mack, I LOVE your shoes!
INCREDIBLE MACK‼️‼️ Gotta say something here… Jason is truly a terrific son! He impresses me that he’s with you on all these videos working his Fanny 🤪 off. And CONGRATULATIONS to him on his coming baby!!!
Can’t leave the handsome silly GRANDPA out in thise CONGRATULATIONS either!
I’m sure your entire family is crazy happy with this next generation coming! I was when mine began… then when the Greats started??? Holy shit!!! Made me feel older than dirt!! Then I met those beautiful little people!!! Having my children was the most rewarding and joyful thing of my life!!! Truly! When the Grands started coming and now into their 20s? The youngest one will be 18 in September, still close enough to the 20s… But these awesome people have made my like than I EVER dreamed possible!!! Of course the 2 youngest I practically raised and are in a super special category, but they are the true lights of my life. Mack, you’re fixing to find out that the new generation is gonna turn you into a big pile of MUSH!!! ❤❤❤ I never would’ve thought that possible in my life, but you’ll soon see. I already heard your amazed and delighted joy on the announcement vid… these new little people are gonna ROCK YOUR WORLD like it’s never been rocked!
I look forward to every one of your delightful, informative and inspiring videos… keep them coming!
Also want to congratulate you AND… Emily in yalls new and fancy ( said Mack style) rides! Sounds like y’all have worked hard and been through enough to deserve and appreciate them!! Good on both y’all!!!
I keep Emily’s health and yalls strength in my prayers as well.
Mentioned in one of my back messages that I had lived in Rantoul, Il so u have a clue about your town/area… seems almost as if Illinois has more land than even Texas! But y’all are in an agricultural area, we just don’t do stuff with this land. A lot of it isn’t fit to live on or fit any kind of use… so that’s why there’s so much more land here… 🤪🙄
Love y’all and take care. Gonna finish watching this video..
The kitchen cabinets remind me of my mom's. The same plain birch cabinets and the hardware matches hers. Though mom's is copper vs black. Always liked the hardware. Nice cleanup. Great motivation to get up and deal with my own clutter
This is a beautiful old house. I love the vintage blue sink and bathtub 🛁. You did a great job with the garage too
Gotta say, I think Jason’s work ethic is impressive, especially after seeing him clean that bathroom.
Your daughter is a very talented artist. Happy you have her on your team. Loving the expiration date on them green beans. 💪🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏼🇬🇧
Fabulous job! Now, if only they’d clear the clutter from the front of the refrigerator - it makes me so anxious, LOL.
