My mom came up with an easy clean up technique for my siblings and me to follow for the Legos. We would lay out a blanket first on the ground (like a throw) and then dump the Lego tote on the blanket. When we were done, we would pick up all of the corners of the blanket and put the lump in the tote and then pull the blanket out. Legos are heavy, but the three of us managed.
Great idea!
My mom framed mine and my brother's board games in the poster frames (plastic cover not glass) and kept the pieces in a bag for us to borrow. We couldn't touch the boards and she knew where the pieces were all the time. They hung on the wall like art in our rooms. I don't know if your boys might like it but I always thought it was genius.
I love your videos!! And I appreciate your mom transparency! ☺️
Good morning Mia, he is clearly a smart kid. He has learned what it takes to keep him happy. You are a great mom. Pick your battles, was the best advice someone gave me. I know you want their rooms cleaned. Showing them how to clean is doing it with them not for them. But I understand it is a lot quicker when you do it. Keep up the great work.
He’s likely taking those things to test you (without realizing he’s doing it obviously he’s a child) but they see what they can get away with. Definitely a prime time to continue to show him the rules and organization!
Have you tried the shaving cream heck for the pee smell? Coat the floor in cheap shaving cream, let it sit for twenty minutes and clean. It worked when I tried it on a stinky boy bathroom.
For the crayons, have you tried a steam mop or steamer? The heat will melt the wax so you can remove it. Sort of like ironing crayon or candle wax off carpet.
I know it seems simplistic, but I’d really recommend decluttering more….for your sanity and theirs. I’ve been working on this too with my little ones and it really makes a world of difference.
Your doing a great job Mom! I hope you are feeling better! I have a carpet cleaner and I would use it quite often and I love the smell of clean rugs and carpets. I need to use it more, it's so satisfying.
Do a rotate system with the check out system toys. Take out one of those toys and put it in his room while removing other toys to balance the mess. I rotate my sons toys in his room about every month or two depending on ho much he enjoys them. Little man may just be taking things he isn't supposed to have because he really wants to just get them when he wants them. Much love for your videos!🤍
My son just turned 3 and we make him help clean up toys after he is done with them. He doesn't participate in purging toys yet, but I do let him glance at the box of items we plan to part with. He occasionally picks an item out of it, but often doesn't care.
I noticed that you have a Dyson vacuum and I just discovered something amazing about them. Ours came with a bag of attachments that got stuck in a closet and forgotten. Last week I found them and did some googling. There is a wand attachment that is a dusting game changer! It is shaped roughly like a swiffer wand and has a soft purple short fibers on the dusting surface. It works AMAZING for dusting flat surfaces and even walls. All the dust goes right into the vacuum. There were other attachments too which are interesting but not as lifechanging. If I had only known before!
I always love watching you clean. I taught my son at the age of two to always pick up the toys every night before going to bed. Makes one feel so much better when you wake up in the morning. I have to admit though....I only had one kid..not three.
Thanks for the update on the gift cards and so glad that you put them to good use. So many companies have gone out of business that I wish people would go back to just giving cash.
When they check stuff out make sure you count them prior to them asking for them if you can that way when he checks them back in to you, you know when he is hoarding them in his room!
For the urine smell, use rubbing alcohol. It works. I saw it on the internet somewhere. Works for pet urine also.
I have twin boy 5 year olds....one of mine likes to "take" things and put it in his trop dresser drawer which also serves as his nightstand/table. When I noticed it I talked to him about things he could take or not take...I think he is just wanting to be more "grown" up and feel important to have important things needing to be stored.
I use hand sanitizer to clean artwork off my walls. Don’t let it set long, put it on and scrub right away. Good as new! Hope it works for you!
I love how genuine you are! There's a lot of RUclips mom's that sound so fake. You show real-life cleaning motivation, not unattainable perfection.
I’ve recently discovered your channel and have been binge watching your videos! ❤️ your channel and now feel like I live in your house 🤪
Same thing happened to our Candyland game. I had 3/4 of the board and I gave up. I'm not taping it back together. Thanks for the motivation. I got a lot done today.
Keep the bin that has the bits and pieces from the check out toys and have a discussion about what you found and how it makes you feel. Ask him why he had them.
It sucks that the steamer vac doesn’t have a small attachment. You could have done all upholstery! I love mine. I do the rugs and couches 4 times a year. Summer, spring, fall and winter seasons.
My kids always steal the bag clips too 😂
I hate the urine smell too. I also use the swifter and cleaner to wipe the walls around the toilet too. They tend to spray everywhere 😂
I have 4 pets (2 dogs, 2 cats) and 3 children, I also run a daycare out of my family room.
I get my Carpets professionally cleaned once a year but I use my personal shampooer as needed. I probably do the entire family room every 3 months on top of spot cleaning spills and whatnot.
Totally inspired to clean now but it'll have to wait until I get off of work tonight. For the bathroom smells an enzyme cleaner might help out
When I carpet clean I continue going over it until I get clear water output
I don’t know about little boys, but peroxide, baking soda, and dawn works miracles for cat urine (and I have used everything imaginable).
Great video👍 honestly I use my carpet cleaner 2-3x a year, probably should be doing it more..... but hey. I have attachments for mine to use on furniture (my furniture didn't look dirty but thought I'd give it a try) & mine was disgusting, like how does the furniture get soo bad😂
Definitely think that those small piece toys should be cleaned, my mom used to just soak them in the sink or tub in some disinfectant
Ugh, the kids’ bathroom stench. It’s the bane of my existence. My kids are finally old enough that I’ve taught them how to clean it well by themselves (my eldest are nearly 12, nearly 10, and 6), so I have them do it every weekend, but it could really use, like, a daily soaking of bleach. 🤢
That was a great ideo
I just love watching you cleaning videos, where did you get the little wood storage thing with the yellow pull out bins that is in your sons room? I need one of those for my son
Ikea!
What were the kids using the food clips for ?!
Really thinking about getting that carpet cleaner. After using it how do you think it would do on really plush carpet? Did it take awhile to dry? My living room has been destroyed by my dog and my twins spit up. 🤢
No I don't have that
I don't undrestand the point of the "cloth" cleaners. They do the same thing as a cotton rag, but they don't last as long and can't be reused for years
What is that tiny piano next to/connected to the computer?!
My Aunt used to live with her three grandsons and would you shaving cream to remove the urine smell. Just cover the toilet and the floor around. Leave it for a while then wipe up.
I think your son is very clever, hoarding just enough toys so he can play with them in his room. Does he get that talent from his Mum?????
If I was you Mia I would spray the toy bin that had all dirty tissues in it with lysol
Plastic water bottles can't be refilled really. You can do it maybe once or twice. Otherwise you ingest plastic particles. Not an expert, just something I share with people.
You would have time to clean the rest of the floors in the video if you didn’t show so much of the repetitive vacuuming and steam cleaning….just show 2 or 3 passes with the vacuum cleaner in each room and then go to the next thing.
I think it’s awesome that he has figured out how he can play using the minimum amount of toys from the ones he has to check out. If he isn’t needing all 200 train tracks, let him keep just the 10. That’s how they use their imagination to create their own stuff. Also, ask him what he uses the clips for, you never know what their little mind had made up where he uses them. If he’s building stuff that’s great engineering type thinking and problem solving techniques that his mind is working through. I think it’s great!
Yes! That's exactly what I was thinking. He has obviously created a kind of a capsule wardrobe of toys. He doesn't look like a naughty thief. More like an engineer.
Completely agree! This kid sounds very creative and 😎 😎
My cousin was doing similar things at that age w/ taking things he wasn’t supposed to and sneaking them away for later. Eventually my aunt had to take the toy cubes out of his room to keep it all in the playroom only. He could keep one small basket of stuffed animals/older kid toys that he wanted away from his younger siblings & that seemed to work well. She also asked him up front why he had hid that stuff away in his room and it was actually bc he likes playing without his siblings in his own room sometimes ❤️
Love your real life videos ! they are what we all can relate to 🇬🇧
I love the organization in the play room and boys room. Im not the type of person that likes to comment stuff like this... but great tip is using Vineger to get rid of urine smell, and it also disinfects.
Oh a new cleaning gadget in my thirties is like a new designer item in my twenties haha. We have mostly carpet and I have to pull it out for a spot clean at least once a month and a full house clean at least twice a year.
So true!!! 😆😆😆
I got the Dupray steamer and been playing with my new toy a lot! And I never put it away
On my gosh, how dare you get sick, mom! Life is more chaotic without you! 😂 Thank you for sharing this video. Glad you're feeling better! 💖
Hi Mai maybe you try using a hairdryer on your walls with the crayon. The heat helps melt the wax in the crayon and then its easier to clean. Hope this helps 🤗
I see your son as creative. Yes, going against rules for checking out system but very creative. Waste basket...Yes, I always had a waste basket in every room. Good idea for him to have one.
Watching you clean your home makes me feel like I cleaned mine. But I actually didnt..but I don't feel bad...makes sense? Lol
Totally! I feel accomplished myself 😂
I have the same rug cleaner, and now I do our living room about every 4- 6 weeks. Bedrooms less frequently. And guess what? If you went over it again, you'd still get a ton of dirt up. 🤢 Or at least I do, and we have 1 kid and have a no shoes in the house rule. 😳 However, something I didn't know is that you should rinse the carpets after shampooing to get the soap up, otherwise dust will cling to it. I hadn't thought of it. Great machine, but the solution tank is really small and you do have to refill it frequently.
This makes me want to rip up all the carpets and since I can’t afford different floors- just live with the subfloor. 😆
@@susie7336 oh me too!! 😂 We bought this house in 2012, but the previous owner replaced the carpet in 2006. The carpet I shampoo the most is actually an area rug in my living room, but oh man I want to do up my master bedroom carpet so dang bad!! Definitely doing something different there when I do eventually rip it out.
As I watched this video I just kept thinking to myself, how?... Like how do you have enough energy to get it all done. Great job Mai!
My kids steal the clips to. 🤣 I deep clean my kids room once a month. I'm not too hard on them on my room. A therapist once told me that's their space that's their comfort zone that's our spot to get away when they need to. Having said that that same therapist also told me not to worry about cleaning their room and if I didn't clean the room it would literally look like a tornado went off and then that tornado just kept on going. So I have decided I will do it once a month the other 3 weeks it's their room.
I just cleaned my rug before watching this video! Mine was just as gross as yours, and I just cleaned it a couple months ago. The timing of how often to clean carpet is tricky, because you don’t want to do it too often or the cleaning solution will actually attract dirt. I clean my rugs about every 3-4 months. You probably could do it more often and just go over it with water and make sure you get up as much of the cleaning solution as you can!
I clean each room monthly. But not all on the same day. That way I’m not walking all over the freshly cleaned areas!!
SOOOO SORRY you were under the weather.

I had to laugh because my son does the SAME STUFF! He’ll sneak stuff he knows he’s not supposed to have and put it in his room. For example, one day at lunch time he was suppose to be putting his plate in the sink but ended up taking a WHOLE BOX of oatmeal pies and took all of them out of the box and put all of them in his play kitchen oven that’s in his room 😂😂😂 he’s 4. Kids do the craziest things I swear.
Have you tried using just a regular white rubber eraser on the crayon marks? Like the erasers we had in school.
Also I keep my designated rags attached to the cleaner bottle with an elastic, that's what my mom always did. So for example, the cloths I use with my windex are secured to the windex bottle with an elastic.
What a great idea! Thank you.😊
Often the walls around and trash can is the pee smell :)
This is probably not what you want to hear, but I think it means your kid is a genius! 😉 Pat yourself on the back for raising a super bright kid and just keep doing what your doing! No stress Momma. ~Mrs. C
Just a little trick we learned when our children were young. If they didnt pick up toys after themselves (as seen in your sons room) we confiscated them. If they asked for them, they had to EARN them back with extra chores. Worked like a charm
The trash def needs to be addressed, a trash can would be the best. Also, do your children "earn" an allowance? If they do, have him PAY YOU when you have to clean his room.
You always have the best vacuum clips, lol, so satisfying 🤤
Your boys sense of hoarding and “organization” slash throw everything in a bin is like my husband. 🤣 maybe they never change lol
You are a great mom! I"m wondering if putting trash cans in each of their rooms would help the garbage situation?????
I remember cleaning amd organizing my kids rooms, now I have to clean and declutter my middle child's room who just moved out. She left the furniture and I have filled the closet with my misc stuff. Time goes by so fast.
Great video! Can you do a video on decluttering your fridge? They are so satisfying to watch 🤭.
I’m glad to see that it’s not only my boys that destroy board games and have random things in their rooms that don’t belong there. My boys also have to have water by their bedside. Great video!
Wish you would’ve shown us a before and after of your living room rug!
Love your real life videos
A trick I heard for the boys bathroom is to buy a special sticker from Amazon or something, that supposed to help them aim better. I don't have kids so I haven't tried it personally but I've heard it's really helpful.
So glad that you got a new dryer! I have a new washer and dryer set ordered and they should be arriving at the end of the month. I’ve went through 4 used dryers in 3 years so finally trying a new set this time 😅
My mom usually only would clean the carpet a couple times a year but would spot clean as needed
I have been doing the mirror cleaning trick for ages. It's the best way for us shorter people to easily reach everything. I have also been using the Amala cloths for years. I love them. I bought a bunch and wash them all at once in the washing machine and lay them flat to dry. I don't use them to clean toilets due to the ick factor. I would probably move the toilet paper away from the toilet before spraying Microban. I worry about little tushies and those chemicals.
I'm so happy you have a new dryer! Thank you for always posting great content!!
I get it, it’s like you hate to take so much away, but when they don’t play properly or constructive, it just becomes a disaster. My toddler is going through the “dump it” phase.
I loved the story of the picture 😂 being a boys mumma has its charms! Please keep it for his 21st! I've got some gems from my boy for his 21st 😂❤️
I'm so glad you are doing better! I would definitely recommend the Bissell pet plus! I use mine for spot cleaning and go over carpets every other month once with the shampoo and the second time with just water. The "appropriation " is normal as is the bag clip hoarding. I have solved this problem with keeping the bag clips when not in use magnetized to my fridge up high and having a nonconfrontational talk. Lol. Funny how their minds work sometimes. The boy definitely needs his own trash bin.😂🤞👍 You are doing amazing. Also I use disposable towels for the toilet because 🤮 I get nauseous thinking about the cross contamination problems. I can watch the emptying of sludge water with no problem but the crossover would absolutely haunt me. I recommended your channel to Colleen Ballinger as she is having twins.
Great job! Dying for a carpet cleaner so please do an update in a few weeks as to how your hoover does and if you're still happy with that purchase.
I clean my carpets like every couple months. It’s amazing how dirt carpets and rugs get. I was confused when you said carpet streamer…… I called them carpet shampooer. Glad your feeling better! Love your videos
also, we have a ruggable rug that we’ve had for about 4/5 months that I’ve yet to wash...even though my son peed on it about a month ago 😬 I guess I’ll do that now 😂
Melinda, the sad thing is the ruggable in our room is dirtier than the one in the kids room. Tells you where they spend most of their waking hours though their room is literally a stones throw from ours!
Finally going to clean it. We have a 9x12 so I just dread drying it but once it is dry (which I HIGHLY recommend “low heat”) even though it takes literally 7 hours to dry.
High heat would unevenly dry and actually burn it in some areas. Did that unfortunately with a rope basket that I was trying to dry quick.
😄💞#MomLife
@@comoelitamelendez8467 I finally emptied the load that was in the dryer and had the rug in there on high for about 30 min, just checked on it and it was still damp, but I’m glad it didnt burn haha I was actually concerned, but clearly not enough- it’s on low now though. I love the one we have, I believe it’s a 9x12 as well. It still looks as good as new; very excited to have it clean! 🤗
I have the same carpet cleaner as you. I use it once a week in a different room to constantly keep the carpets clean. I use the detergent on the first pass of the room then plain water on a second pass to get the solution up and keep the carpets clean longer.
I have this carpet cleaner too, and I never thought to do a plain water rinse. I always try to keep passing over it with suction until I don’t get any more soap up, but I know there’s still plenty left in the fibers, making the carpet get dirty faster again. I’ll definitely try it this way from now on!
Maybe the shampoo vacuum also remove some of the ink color from the carpet
If he was keeping the small piece toys contained and away, He was showing that he can be trusted with keeping them tidy which is what the whole check out system was for. I think he should get to pick which system he waants and let him keep enough for him to play with on his own for as long as he can keep it contained and tidy. It shows him and the other boys that if you are able to take care of your toys you get trusted to HAVE the toys. OFC make sure that he knows taking them without permission isn't a good thing, but he was taking care of them.
CONGRATULATIONS on all your gift card usage. WOOHOO!
Have you tried using a tennis ball for your walls I know I've had a few markings on my walls and I sprayed my wall with some cleaner and used the tennis ball and it came off worth a shot 🙂 btw just discovered your channel and I have no kiddos but I'm obsessed with your videos. I've been watching all afternoon 😂😂 you give me so much motivation! You got me as a subscriber now😊😊😊 look forward to seeing your future videos.
Love your videos! Yt unsuscribed me from you! The NERVE! Resuscribed 😘💙
I have seen another RUclipsr with boys use a special enzyme cleaner especially works on getting rid of Urine smell. Maybe that will help you
We have a carpet cleaning similar to yours. Were your hardwood floors underneath the rug wet when you were finished? I have only used mine on carpeted areas. My carpets are damp when I am done even with a heated dry type option on my carpet cleaner. Just curious if water getting down through the rug is damaging to your floors if done too much.
I love my carpet/rug cleaner, though I use it less than I did before kids (should be the other way around but I don’t have the time) so maybe twice a year now instead of once every 2 months like before
I do have a shampoo steamer and the first time I did it, it was coal black waters. I did it until the water ran clean which took a few hours and then after that I do it every 8 weeks and I don’t stop until my water is clear. Make sure you wash the shampooer out really well or it will stick horribly.
Seems i have a stomach of Steel. I hat breakfast While watching the Rug Cleaning 😂😂
That's the reason I can't have rugs and carpets in the house 😷 They never get 100% clean.
Love you Mai!!
i would clean that carpet 1st till the water stays clear going over it all. and then probably once every months or so. cause its a high trafic area
I have that carpet cleaner I love it so much
not a thief (negative talk) creative and resourceful, nurture it.
💖
Hi mama☺️
Good morning. Im here watching 👋 I do the same thing with my kids Legos they need to check them out with me 🤣
How is your Air BNB adventure going?
It’s going good so far!! I’ll have to update in a future video :)
