Today we are going to clean the bathroom from top to bottom, and talk about how to keep it clean. Chad and I tell a couple funny bathroom stories about the kids.
I'm a single dad who works 60+ hours a week and I've never had good cleaning habits. I'm watching this to give me a place to start and maybe a bit of motivation. Thanks for the great video.
This woman is a hero. Seriously. Stumbled on this from unrelated videos. It never occurred to me to watch a cleaning video to get inspired. We're pretty clean over here but nothing like a little inspiration. Big Props for teaching basic skills! Most people don't have them.
We're new subscribers and enjoyed this video. As a former Home Economics professor, who studied bacteriology and micro-biology in college, may I pass on some research info.? Many studies have been done about house hold germs. The findings are that it's best to wear disposable gloves, especially when cleaning the toilet in your home. Even though it's your home and you keep it clean, you can still become sick from e. coli that is found in and on every toilet, even your own. Also, researchers recommend using disposable Viva type heavy duty, paper towels to clean the toilet. Use one for scrubbing the surface and a clean one for rinsing and then put them in the trash. Use a designated mop bucket for mopping the bathroom floor, never use the bathroom sink. Dirty water splashed up on your clean sink, counter top and faucet. Studies have shown that disposable paper towels are, in fact, best to use on all bathroom surfaces. But, if you do use cleaning rags, never wash them with your towels and wash cloths. The heat from the clothes washer and dryer is not hot enough to kill harmful germs from cleaning rags. Wash cleaning rags separately in hot water with bleach and detergent. Lastly, it has been found that reusing the same wash cloth and towel from one day to the next, without washing it, can transmit germs. It's called "Cross Contamination". Think about washing/drying your bottom and your feet and then re-using the same wash cloth and towel the next day to wash and dry your face! This research is especially helpful if there are small children, elderly, ill, or someone with a compromised immune system living in your home.
As basic as these videos may seem to some, I think it can be so helpful to go back the simple steps. I think this helps with those who may be overwhelmed. There are many situations where the troubles of life take over. You may struggle with depression, you may be a single parent and are outnumbered, or you may be looking for videos to show your kiddos how to clean. This can be very helpful. Thanks so much!
This is so true. Some may think you are being "lazy" because they don't understand. But, life does and can get in the way. I use to be the type to do cleaning as a way to relax. I have had several losses the last three years and now get over whelmed with it. I am trying to get back to that.
Couldn't agree more. I'm preparing to sell my house and move in with my fiancé, I'm determined to get rid of everything that's surplus to requirement in advance of that, redecorate and give the house a thorough deep clean. Houses sell for more when they look like a show house and it is foolish to lose money for the want of some graft. But I've also had some difficult life experiences in the last few years and overall the project looks huge to me at the moment, so breaking it down into smaller chunks helps a lot.
Arkansas Family yes to everything you said! I am completely overwhelmed at the moment. I also struggle with daily chronic pain. These simple tips help so much.😊
These videos have been much more than you know. As a young mom and a wife with limited family help, these “home” videos have been soooo soooooo helpful and useful.
Thank you for addressing the husband’s habits! That is definitely my biggest hurdle at the moment and it’s nice to see that it can get better with time. My husband isn’t horribly messy, but I tend to get aggravated with his habits when I spend all day cleaning. Love your videos and it’s super nice to see you both in them together!
I love how the two of you can't keep your eyes off each other. So cute! This is a great series! Many of us didn't get taught a cleaning routine and organization doesn't come naturally to us. You are a great teacher! Thanks!
I literally washed my whole bathroom down on Sunday, weather warmed up to 50 degrees, why not! Washed walls , ceiling , towels, rugs, shower curtain and liner, floor, toilet, sink, tub. Felt great to do a deep clean in January.
Thanks for the inspiration! I used to clean my bathroom frequently and it was so easy to maintain. But since falling pregnant with my second baby I’ve been soo tired/nauseous that I’ve neglected it a lot. This has inspired me to push through and get back to my old habits because it’s so much easier to keep spaces clean when you’re doing it regularly. 🙂
So I am 28, have 2 kids age 7 and 1. You would think by this point I would have known that cleaning your kitchen sink is something that you should do regularly. Ours had these marks on it that I thought was just stains that couldn't be removed. Well I watched your video and then thought hmm, I have baking soda let's clean my sink and get all those germs out of it. Totally didn't even think it would remove those marks. Well my sink is as silver as can be and I can't tell you the happiness that overtakes me every time I am doing dishes and see that sparkly clean sink!! so thank you! Your family continues to bring me joy!
It was truly a magical moment when I was scrubbing it and noticed those marks coming off, I called my mom and was like 'MOM! My sink is sparkling!!!' and then sent her pictures lol I think of not only you but your whole family 9 times out of 10 when I am doing dishes. I remember Bonnie mentioning that she dries her sink every night before bed. I have started to do that as well!
Thank you for making videos like this. My mama and mother in law (my best friends) have both passed away and it's very comforting to hear the wisdom and advice from another sweet mom. It motivates me to get my cleaning done just like my mom taught me. I'm a mama myself, but sometimes I still need and miss my own mom and her encouragement. Your children will surely cherish these videos forever. God bless you.
You and all the kids have amazing parents. Its actually a blessing to be taught things even though when you were 15 it was probably the last things you wanted to so.
Your parents are so cute! When I was little I didn't now the names of mine... Thought they were Mom and Dad as my four siblings called them that, and they called each other as well XD
what if i feel like i too cannot figure out where to start cleaning and maintaining a clean home. would you share more. feels like cleaning is an endless chore. I like it clean and get carried away deep cleaning spending lots of time yet it seems like i cant maintain an overall sready clean home.
Jennifer I lover your and Chad's video's !! I do like how you talked about how he takes care of his cleaning habits too I still have to remind my husband after almost 33 yrs of marriage sometimes he still forgets!!! You have a beautiful home I love how open and inviting it is and how when the adults are upstairs the children can be downstairs playing or watching a show.
Thank you for doing this video Jennifer. I think it’s so important for young teens to have a wonderful grandma Griffith to show exactly what to do. I’m a BIG sister and some of these children have never been in a home long enough to be taught with love and care. I showed this video tonight and the girls were in awe saying I didn’t know that? Also I appreciate how you talked about working your way up to this beautiful home. This really was important for the girls to hear and we struck up a conversation that was so loving as these girls don’t have much of their own but a few personal items. I said all things are possible. Please continue to do a few more of these loving videos with Chad. I just sent a link to several teachers like myself to show your video as they no longer teach home care, cooking or shop in the schools we work at. This is the new age of teaching young adults which is wonderful but boy do I still wish they provided these classes especially where we teach as many children do not have a two parent home, a mother is working several jobs and families are just trying to survive. Would you consider a few cooking videos like Ellie’s Belly that I could show for the young youth to make a dollar stretch? You teach with such love and a servants heart. Thank you.❤️🙏🏻
I think what I enjoy the most about watching Grandma and Grandpa is seeing the little traits come out that I see in Bonnie, Ruby, Ellie and Julie. I'm always giggling to myself when I hear or see the obvious things that I know they got from their Mom or Dad. :D It's like "ah" that sounds just little Bonnie or just like Ruby! The kids didn't fall far from the apple tree in that family. :)
that's a sweet thing you said to her! your to sweet!! most people on other channels leave such bad comments it's so nice to hear there's still good people like you out there!!!
I live at home yet,not married or have kids...I do as much as I can to help my parents and not be a burden.These tips helped me!I got my dishes going,load of towels going and bathroom is ALMOST cleaned!
These videos are such a gift to me personally. I never had guidance or a routine of doing things and I was always just thrown tasks and told to figure them out, but I really feel like these will help me to develop what works good for me and help me become more efficient. Not everyone has guidance like this so I cherish these videos! Love you Grandma!
Yall are like the grandma and grandpa we all wish to have! I hope you know how much you are loved and how much you inspire people! You all have became apart of my family for sure!❤
I just love your practical, simple guide to cleaning a bathroom. I woke up today and followed what you did here step by step. I could not believe how much dust lurked in the nooks and crannies. You and your husband seem like such lovely people. Will be stopping in for more inspiration. You are so easy to understand...bless you!
Y’all are adorable! I love to clean and I still learn new tricks from you! Really enjoying these videos! :) Also you have such a sweet, gentle spirit. You remind me so much of my grandmother! ❤️
Thank you so much for making these videos. I have been trying to teach my granddaughter how to take care of a house and how to make it easier to keep clean. I show her your videos and that’s helping more than all my hard work. She is still struggling and forgetful but she is improving all the time.
Watching you clean is soothing. I never really had the desire to deep clean, just spot clean & tidy. But ever since birthing my daughter, I have a routine and take about an hr out of my day, everyday to deep clean one room. Thank you for the continuous motivation.
I have been looking forward to this video all day! As soon as I laid my toddler down for nap I sat down to watch. As always, I learned something new and now have motivation to go clean my bathrooms. Thank you so much for making these videos, I cannot wait to watch the next one! 💕
You are so right. Didn't learn any of this from my mom, so it's super nice you are putting up this video. What I really like the most is that you are putting your smile into cleaning your bathroom. And I love that your husband is so involved.
I love that you make these types of videos. I have really struggled with knowing how to do these kind of things because my mom didn't really teach me... Thank you for helping me.
Thank you .. breath of fresh air.. Everyone always says i do it like this, i can clean my whole house in a short amount of time.. We are all here to learn methods and you are one of the few who ADMIT that our homes are NOT already sparking clean and we do have to get it clean to get where you are.. Thank you!
Thank you for this video. Now I know what to do with the bathroom floor boards, I been trying to find a way to get the dry dust off for a while now but didn't know how. I'm so thankful because of you Grandma Griffits!
Good job, Chad for helping your wife out by having good habits. Whenever my husband leaves his stuff out I send him a picture of it haha. Thanks for the video, you two! I'd love an oven cleaning video 😉
Thankyou for sharing, you are the most amazing mum & grandma, your so calm & soft and full of love, you can easily see that you have the greatest love & respect for your husband, and the morals you instilled to your family & everyone is just heartwarming. Your children are so lucky to have you, I am also picking up lots of tips from you, also if you have any tips on raising teenagers that would be great xxx
Thank you so much for making these cleaning videos! I am a college student and these videos are helping me learn how to make a house a home. I so greatly appreciate your passion for having a clean home, its rubbing off on me. Thank you! 💕
Can you make a video on how to really clean a stove/ gas range? I enjoy your videos so much. You raised an even better family and I truly admire you and your husband
I would be interested in this, as well - also, what are Chad's tips on moving appliances (stove, fridge, washer/dryer) out to clean behind/under them? I would love to see a video for that, as well.
Grandma and Grandpa Griffiths also if you have any tips on stainless steel!! I can't get it shiny with out that smudgey look! Also whats your take on Murphys oil on wood?
Nothing is better than a clean home. I love cleaning my house! It makes me so proud that my family feels comfortable and can function well in our home. You guys are so cute!
Thought I would report that after 2 weeks I have been keeping up with your 4 cleaning habits in my own home and it has changed the whole feeling in our home so thank you!! Now I'm Looking forward to implementing these bathroom techniques. :) Enjoying these vlogs thanks!!
I absolutely love watching these videos. I wish more Grandparents made videos on RUclips. I benefit from your wisdom and experience. This will also be a great piece of family history your grandkids can watch. Love Love Love!!! ❤️
My daughter is a year old and my second is on the way. I work full time and I am constantly struggling to keep up on my housework. Its so hard to find the balance because everything seems to be such a chore with a toddler running around. I appreciate these videos so much because unlike many people I was never taught. My mom was a stay at home mom and she cleaned up after our family (this included our laundry) until the day I moved out. Boy did I have a rude awakening in my first apartment and the cleaning fairy wasn't there to help😉 It is so hard to pick up on these habits at an older age. Thank you for your words of wisdom❤ you have raised a bunch of beautiful human beings and there is no doubt in where they got it from. You are a beautiful example to ALL. God bless you❤
Excellent advice! I'm 30 now, with two young children and a husband. But I wasn't taught a lot of simple things like this when I was younger. Much of what I do has just been figured out along the way. But it is just so helpful to learn all of this. Thanks!
Thank-you so very much. I was the eldest of 14 and our mother was crippled. We never learned. NEVER. I tried so hard and have my entire life to keep up. I'm 54 and I'm so exhausted of feeling like all I do is chase my tail. I've got 2 grandsons ages 11 and 9 I've raised since birth and we get $236.00 to live on each month. I clean with white vinegar and baking soda and salt. I make my all purpose cleaner from citrus peels. I want to do this right to be sure these 2 will know how to be clean, clutter-free, and live within whatever means they have. So... God Bless you for sharing. It's never too late to start fresh. Hugs from NC
I'm glad this video came out today. I started watching this earlier then stopped so I can clean my kitchen lol. No dishes in the sink, Amen!...Fyi, I'm going to buy that vinegar for the floor amongst other things. GOD Bless!
I wear gloves when cleaning, not because I'm grossed out, but because my skin gets dry from all the water and products. Love your videos by the way!👍 Your personality is so warm and inviting! I will have to join in with many comments and say that your family brings much joy and needed kindness to many through your videos! Thank God for beautiful people like you! God Bless!
Love your relationship with your daughters, my Mom left my Dad when I was 6 months old. I had a brother 4 and our dad raised us... I have been cleaning for a long time BUT you have taught this “old dog a new trick” or two! Thank you so much!
To be honest while my bathroom is regularly cleaned, I have struggled with grime build up in forgotten corners. I just never dusted my bathroom, this is a game changer for me! As a wife and mother I love that you enjoy making a house a home. I remember Ruby in a vlog telling her children the same process about the getting out of the shower. It was so true when she noted how cared for your home(particularly your bathroom) is after all these years. It may seem small but these things have such an impact and it truly is being passed down on how to cherish your home, how lovely. Thank you for sharing
You two are so cute! I used to clean a lady’s house in my ward as a teenager to earn some extra spending money. She had REALLY high expectations of cleanliness, which I’ve carried with me into my adult life. For the past ten years, my husband and I have worked full time and I just could not devote the time needed to getting my house clean, so I hired it out! Best decision I ever made. Though now that we’re expecting our first child and I may become a stay-at-home mom (still deciding), I may have to get back to cleaning my own bathrooms again. 😱 Thanks for the sweet video!
That’s a great story. My husband taught our kids how to “shower” also because they would also get water all over and would take the longest showers. My oldest didn’t think he should have to use his towel more than once. But we explained if he was showering properly he should have been clean. So my husband volunteered to watch how he showered to make sure he was getting himself clean so that he could use his towel more than once. Apparently that suggestion worked because he didn’t get water all over showers were shorter and he used his towel more than once. Oh the joys of parenting.
This is such a great video!! Mothers these days (well and when i was young) just don’t teach kids how to do this! I really appreciate you making these videos
Jennifer you and I are the same age... actually I am exactly 2 months older. I just want you to know you and Chad and your family are in my prayers. I am not Mormon, but try to respect all believers. I have great respect for your mission work. My heart goes out to you at this time. Please know you have many supporters and are in many prayers.
Um. I hate cleaning. And somehow this seriously motivates me to get my tush moving and get my bathrooms cleaned! Love your family (am one of the IVF winners from last year, plus I went to highschool and worked with a couple extended family members).
You are so kind, thank you! I literally told my husband last night that he needs to start using his towel (and I do too) to wipe down the shower hardware when we step out. I am binging on all your videos today.
I love your approach to cleaning! I can tell you genuinely care for your home and are a good steward of the things God has blessed you with. Keep these videos coming!
Love these videos. Your whole family is so real and down to earth. Ruby did a video showing her kids how to get out of shower correctly. I think it stuck with her ;) hahaha!
I cannot stress enough ,How much these videos are helping me keep my appartment tidy. I have always had someone clean our house for me but when I moved out I would spend my entire weekend struggling to keep my appartment nice and clean. These videos are already helping me so much.That's such a nich gesture Please continue with the series
Thank you for the Helpful advice, I´m looking forward for the next clean Tipps. Love for you and your amazing Family. Loving Parents, loving children and loving grandchildren, your family is a great example.
Grandma and grandpa G, I know Ellie and Jarad have so many people posting on their videos they can’t read them all so I thought I’d mention this to you ☺️. Jackson has all of the beautiful new polished rocks, my son was also fond of rocks and polished them. One Mother’s Day Michael gave me a wrapped gift and was so excited for me to open it, it was one of his rocks that a jeweler had made into a necklace. He’s in law enforcement now and I still wear the necklace. It’s one of my most cherished possessions 😍. Maybe you can put a bug in Jarad’s and Jackson’s ear about making one for mommy for Mother’s Day or valentines etc. Ellie was exclaiming about a soft pink colored stone in the finished batch from yesterday. Wink wink.
My goodness why have I only just found your channel now? Your tips and positivity are what I need in my life. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. I always wished I could know how you do things from watching Ellie and how she talks about all that you have thought her. Your children are very lucky to have had you as their guide growing up. 😊
My mom refused to teach me how to clean and cook so now I have to watch videos online I’m so thankful to live in a time period where this is readily accessible to me
Loved every second! You two are so blessed in so many ways, but you truly deserve everything you have accomplished and worked so hard for. You both have beautiful souls. 🙏🏼🤗
Sweet video, you two are lovely and all what you are saying makes so much sense. I'm currently gearing up to sell my house and move in with my fiancé so I'm looking at a major decluttering, redecorating and deep cleaning project. My home isn't crammed or filthy or tatty, but we all have much more stuff than we realize and when you live on your own there is an element of 'Your own muck's clean muck' so you can turn a blind eye to certain grot spots and minor repairs needing done. I know how and what to clean, but I'm trying to get motivated for what seems like a huge task and your gentle approach helps. Thank you!
These are my new favorite videos! Thank you so much for helping me keep my home tidy this year, it does not come naturally to me but everything just feels better and I am a much more present mom when I am not just worrying or feeling guilty about the mess in the house.
Say a prayer for me! I was an only child. My mom and I used the upstairs and my Dad downstairs! My family uses the same cleaning supplies and I love them, however....I have now been blessed with 4 sons! I feel outnumbered. Wieners are everywhere! Hugs!
K Dopp: Easy. Start teaching your boys how to clean. Start them young with whatever tasks they can handle. Teach them that keeping the home clean is everyone's job and not just "mom's". Clleaning house is not "girl's" and "women's" work.
Love this! Love parenting tricks! I love that he walked through the whole process of showering for the kids! I need more parenting advice like that! Thank you so much!
You are so awesome!!!! Love you guys!!! I do this every monday from top to bottom and then I keep it the best I can!!!! You are so good to do this to teach people my Grandmother taught me how to do somethings but she worked so she depended on me to pickup the slack. I didn't have my mom around she worked a lot she was raising 6 on her own well with my grandparents help.But I ask my mom one time how come the oven isn't clean and she said well I always had my husbands do it. I always had a self cleaning oven and I would clean it out as soon as anything would drip. But I thank you for this because even though I'm a grandma now I watch and learn all I can about this.. I even watch how to make a bed like a high end hotel so I can make my guests feel like they stay at one or a fresh clean crip bed and a nurse had made my bed in the hospital and she would sprinkle baby powder on my sheets and it was so soft and I smells good too!!
Funny... I’m older than you. However, Your cleaning habits and thoroughness remind me of my Gramma. She was the daughter of Irish immigrants and lived in tenements in Boston growing up. When she and my grandfather bought their first home it was 100 years old! They redid very surface and that place was as shiny a diamond! They kept their second home just as spotless. When Gramma got sick hey hired a cleaning service and were never really happy with it. Gramma died 40 yrs ago. My grandfather 5 yrs ago. The smell of “clean” STILL makes me think of them! THANK YOU for reminding me of the power of clean! And that I need to teach my own granddaughter! 🌹🙏🏼🌹
I can't express how much I love and appreciate you guys! I have depression but your videos are really helping me to have confidence in myself. I get so overwhelmed! I will just take it one step at a time.
Ok I paused & went to do my last of nr4... Im back to watch further... tx soooo much. So nice to see older woman & men 😉 lovingly teaching out of their lives cxx Tx from South Africa 🇿🇦
Thank you for taking the time to share this. I grew up in a very unhappy home. My mom did her best by us, but it was just best for me to stay out of my dad's way, so I spent as much time as possible up in my bedroom. I missed out on so much of this basic teaching because my mom was trying to protect me. I believe she did right by me, but I have found that my cleaning skills are definitely lacking. I get by, but my home isn't always ready for the magazine photographers like my mom's is. Thank you for sharing!
💕 my favourite vlogs 💕. I do my four a day tasks and I do feel my day goes better. I work four days a week and some weeks five days but doing these four tasks every day means that I can do all my other chores on my day off. You are right keeping on top of it every day helps. Thanks Mr & Mrs Griffiths for your words of wisdom and for your four tasks a day advice !
Thank you!! Cleaning is second nature to you. To clean a room is overwhelming to me because I don't know where to begin. Your process for cleaning is very helpful. Please continue to share your cleaning techniques with us! Have a blessed day!
I'm a single dad who works 60+ hours a week and I've never had good cleaning habits. I'm watching this to give me a place to start and maybe a bit of motivation.
Thanks for the great video.
This woman is a hero. Seriously. Stumbled on this from unrelated videos. It never occurred to me to watch a cleaning video to get inspired. We're pretty clean over here but nothing like a little inspiration. Big Props for teaching basic skills! Most people don't have them.
I'm a teenager, and one of my jobs in the house is keeping the bathroom clean. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom Grandma Griff! Xxx

These videos are going to be such a gift to your children and grandchildren.
Totally!

Couldn't agree more. I'm preparing to sell my house and move in with my fiancé, I'm determined to get rid of everything that's surplus to requirement in advance of that, redecorate and give the house a thorough deep clean. Houses sell for more when they look like a show house and it is foolish to lose money for the want of some graft. But I've also had some difficult life experiences in the last few years and overall the project looks huge to me at the moment, so breaking it down into smaller chunks helps a lot.
Arkansas Family yes to everything you said! I am completely overwhelmed at the moment. I also struggle with daily chronic pain. These simple tips help so much.😊

SKARLights same here!!!
Thank you for making videos like this. My mama and mother in law (my best friends) have both passed away and it's very comforting to hear the wisdom and advice from another sweet mom. It motivates me to get my cleaning done just like my mom taught me. I'm a mama myself, but sometimes I still need and miss my own mom and her encouragement. Your children will surely cherish these videos forever. God bless you.
Cooper just said “why did you call him Chad? His name is grandpa” ha ha. Thanks for teaching me how to keep a clean home :) love you Mom!
xoxo love you too Julie!!!
You and all the kids have amazing parents. Its actually a blessing to be taught things even though when you were 15 it was probably the last things you wanted to so.

I do like how you talked about how he takes care of his cleaning habits too I still have to remind my husband after almost 33 yrs of marriage sometimes he still forgets!!! You have a beautiful home I love how open and inviting it is and how when the adults are upstairs the children can be downstairs playing or watching a show.
Thank you for doing this video Jennifer. I think it’s so important for young teens to have a wonderful grandma Griffith to show exactly what to do. I’m a BIG sister and some of these children have never been in a home long enough to be taught with love and care. I showed this video tonight and the girls were in awe saying I didn’t know that? Also I appreciate how you talked about working your way up to this beautiful home. This really was important for the girls to hear and we struck up a conversation that was so loving as these girls don’t have much of their own but a few personal items. I said all things are possible. Please continue to do a few more of these loving videos with Chad. I just sent a link to several teachers like myself to show your video as they no longer teach home care, cooking or shop in the schools we work at. This is the new age of teaching young adults which is wonderful but boy do I still wish they provided these classes especially where we teach as many children do not have a two parent home, a mother is working several jobs and families are just trying to survive. Would you consider a few cooking videos like Ellie’s Belly that I could show for the young youth to make a dollar stretch? You teach with such love and a servants heart. Thank you.❤️🙏🏻
I never ever could have imagined this from a simple cleaning video. Your comment touches me deeply. Thank you, yes, I hope I can offer something more.
I think what I enjoy the most about watching Grandma and Grandpa is seeing the little traits come out that I see in Bonnie, Ruby, Ellie and Julie. I'm always giggling to myself when I hear or see the obvious things that I know they got from their Mom or Dad. :D It's like "ah" that sounds just little Bonnie or just like Ruby! The kids didn't fall far from the apple tree in that family. :)
I just love you, you are the mom that I never had. I wish for all the kids to have a mother or a grandmother like you. You are amazing ♥
that's a sweet thing you said to her! your to sweet!! most people on other channels leave such bad comments it's so nice to hear there's still good people like you out there!!!
I live at home yet,not married or have kids...I do as much as I can to help my parents and not be a burden.These tips helped me!I got my dishes going,load of towels going and bathroom is ALMOST cleaned!
Cleanest 'before' bathroom ever!
You're the cutest, I love your videos!
Drina Carl I was thinking the same, I aspire to be like her lol.
Drina Carl was
maid cleaned it before video...LOL
That's because she uses this system to keep it that way.
These videos are such a gift to me personally. I never had guidance or a routine of doing things and I was always just thrown tasks and told to figure them out, but I really feel like these will help me to develop what works good for me and help me become more efficient. Not everyone has guidance like this so I cherish these videos! Love you Grandma!
Yall are like the grandma and grandpa we all wish to have! I hope you know how much you are loved and how much you inspire people! You all have became apart of my family for sure!❤
I just love your practical, simple guide to cleaning a bathroom. I woke up today and followed what you did here step by step. I could not believe how much dust lurked in the nooks and crannies. You and your husband seem like such lovely people. Will be stopping in for more inspiration. You are so easy to understand...bless you!
Love you Grandma, great tips. I find your voice so comforting when I’m missing my mum 😊
Hi Sarah, how's your day going with you?
You guys are cutest couples
Wonderful parents and wonderful grandparents to numbers of grandchildren. 🤟🏽🙏🏽💟✝️
Y’all are adorable! I love to clean and I still learn new tricks from you! Really enjoying these videos! :)
Also you have such a sweet, gentle spirit. You remind me so much of my grandmother! ❤️
Haha that was awesome. So good to hear stories about Ruby, Beau, Bonnie, Julie & Ellie. Thanks Grandma & Grandpa
Thank you so much for making these videos. I have been trying to teach my granddaughter how to take care of a house and how to make it easier to keep clean. I show her your videos and that’s helping more than all my hard work. She is still struggling and forgetful but she is improving all the time.
Watching you clean is soothing. I never really had the desire to deep clean, just spot clean & tidy. But ever since birthing my daughter, I have a routine and take about an hr out of my day, everyday to deep clean one room. Thank you for the continuous motivation.
That is an excellent routine!
I have been looking forward to this video all day! As soon as I laid my toddler down for nap I sat down to watch. As always, I learned something new and now have motivation to go clean my bathrooms. Thank you so much for making these videos, I cannot wait to watch the next one! 💕
You are so right. Didn't learn any of this from my mom, so it's super nice you are putting up this video. What I really like the most is that you are putting your smile into cleaning your bathroom. And I love that your husband is so involved.
I love that you make these types of videos. I have really struggled with knowing how to do these kind of things because my mom didn't really teach me... Thank you for helping me.
Thank you .. breath of fresh air.. Everyone always says i do it like this, i can clean my whole house in a short amount of time.. We are all here to learn methods and you are one of the few who ADMIT that our homes are NOT already sparking clean and we do have to get it clean to get where you are.. Thank you!
You two bring me so much joy! I had such a huge smile on my face watching this vlog!! Thank you!!
Thank you for this video. Now I know what to do with the bathroom floor boards, I been trying to find a way to get the dry dust off for a while now but didn't know how. I'm so thankful because of you Grandma Griffits!
Good job, Chad for helping your wife out by having good habits. Whenever my husband leaves his stuff out I send him a picture of it haha. Thanks for the video, you two! I'd love an oven cleaning video 😉
Thankyou for sharing, you are the most amazing mum & grandma, your so calm & soft and full of love, you can easily see that you have the greatest love & respect for your husband, and the morals you instilled to your family & everyone is just heartwarming. Your children are so lucky to have you, I am also picking up lots of tips from you, also if you have any tips on raising teenagers that would be great xxx
Thank you so much for making these cleaning videos! I am a college student and these videos are helping me learn how to make a house a home. I so greatly appreciate your passion for having a clean home, its rubbing off on me. Thank you! 💕
You said it!! It's all about making a house a home. A clean house doesn't mean a thing if it doesn't have the loving touch of home.
You are a breath of fresh air!!
Can you make a video on how to really clean a stove/ gas range? I enjoy your videos so much. You raised an even better family and I truly admire you and your husband
I would be interested in this, as well - also, what are Chad's tips on moving appliances (stove, fridge, washer/dryer) out to clean behind/under them? I would love to see a video for that, as well.
Grandma and Grandpa Griffiths also if you have any tips on stainless steel!! I can't get it shiny with out that smudgey look! Also whats your take on Murphys oil on wood?
In this video of Bonnie's she mentions what she uses for her stainless steel appliances ruclips.net/video/Y0dxHEpOcEo/видео.html

Nothing is better than a clean home. I love cleaning my house! It makes me so proud that my family feels comfortable and can function well in our home. You guys are so cute!
Thought I would report that after 2 weeks I have been keeping up with your 4 cleaning habits in my own home and it has changed the whole feeling in our home so thank you!! Now I'm Looking forward to implementing these bathroom techniques. :) Enjoying these vlogs thanks!!
Can you share the 4 cleaning habits? I have not yet seen them. Thanks.
I absolutely love watching these videos. I wish more Grandparents made videos on RUclips. I benefit from your wisdom and experience. This will also be a great piece of family history your grandkids can watch. Love Love Love!!! ❤️
Your videos are so calming and motivating all at the same time. I can’t wait for my weekend to make my house sparkle!
My daughter is a year old and my second is on the way. I work full time and I am constantly struggling to keep up on my housework. Its so hard to find the balance because everything seems to be such a chore with a toddler running around. I appreciate these videos so much because unlike many people I was never taught. My mom was a stay at home mom and she cleaned up after our family (this included our laundry) until the day I moved out. Boy did I have a rude awakening in my first apartment and the cleaning fairy wasn't there to help😉 It is so hard to pick up on these habits at an older age. Thank you for your words of wisdom❤ you have raised a bunch of beautiful human beings and there is no doubt in where they got it from. You are a beautiful example to ALL. God bless you❤
Thank you. I know, theres a lot of things growing up I didn't pay any attention to, then I got married and was calling home constantly;)
You two are just adorable!,
Excellent advice! I'm 30 now, with two young children and a husband. But I wasn't taught a lot of simple things like this when I was younger. Much of what I do has just been figured out along the way. But it is just so helpful to learn all of this. Thanks!
You are very welcome!
You both are the cutest! Love watching all your families vlogs, you did a wonderful job raising them :)
Thank-you so very much. I was the eldest of 14 and our mother was crippled. We never learned. NEVER. I tried so hard and have my entire life to keep up. I'm 54 and I'm so exhausted of feeling like all I do is chase my tail. I've got 2 grandsons ages 11 and 9 I've raised since birth and we get $236.00 to live on each month. I clean with white vinegar and baking soda and salt. I make my all purpose cleaner from citrus peels. I want to do this right to be sure these 2 will know how to be clean, clutter-free, and live within whatever means they have. So... God Bless you for sharing. It's never too late to start fresh. Hugs from NC
You are a beautiful woman!
I'm glad this video came out today. I started watching this earlier then stopped so I can clean my kitchen lol. No dishes in the sink, Amen!...Fyi, I'm going to buy that vinegar for the floor amongst other things. GOD Bless!
I wear gloves when cleaning, not because I'm grossed out, but because my skin gets dry from all the water and products. Love your videos by the way!👍 Your personality is so warm and inviting! I will have to join in with many comments and say that your family brings much joy and needed kindness to many through your videos! Thank God for beautiful people like you! God Bless!
Love you for this series. My mum was wonderful but never taught me home making and I love the way you explain everything :)
Love your relationship with your daughters, my Mom left my Dad when I was 6 months old. I had a brother 4 and our dad raised us... I have been cleaning for a long time BUT you have taught this “old dog a new trick” or two! Thank you so much!
I just love these videos!! I really are helping, and motivating me to clean more!!! :) great job!
To be honest while my bathroom is regularly cleaned, I have struggled with grime build up in forgotten corners. I just never dusted my bathroom, this is a game changer for me! As a wife and mother I love that you enjoy making a house a home. I remember Ruby in a vlog telling her children the same process about the getting out of the shower. It was so true when she noted how cared for your home(particularly your bathroom) is after all these years. It may seem small but these things have such an impact and it truly is being passed down on how to cherish your home, how lovely. Thank you for sharing
Thank you for your sweet comment.
You inspired me to totally scrub my bathroom from top to bottom and convince my husband we need a new one. Thankyou 😀
Love it!
Sharran Dawson hahaha! That's hilarious!! Good job!
You two are so cute! I used to clean a lady’s house in my ward as a teenager to earn some extra spending money. She had REALLY high expectations of cleanliness, which I’ve carried with me into my adult life. For the past ten years, my husband and I have worked full time and I just could not devote the time needed to getting my house clean, so I hired it out! Best decision I ever made. Though now that we’re expecting our first child and I may become a stay-at-home mom (still deciding), I may have to get back to cleaning my own bathrooms again. 😱 Thanks for the sweet video!
That’s a great story. My husband taught our kids how to “shower” also because they would also get water all over and would take the longest showers. My oldest didn’t think he should have to use his towel more than once. But we explained if he was showering properly he should have been clean. So my husband volunteered to watch how he showered to make sure he was getting himself clean so that he could use his towel more than once. Apparently that suggestion worked because he didn’t get water all over showers were shorter and he used his towel more than once. Oh the joys of parenting.
I love how soothing your voice is. You’re a blessing. Thank you
This is such a great video!! Mothers these days (well and when i was young) just don’t teach kids how to do this! I really appreciate you making these videos
Livin Daily Life SAME!!!
Jennifer you and I are the same age... actually I am exactly 2 months older. I just want you to know you and Chad and your family are in my prayers. I am not Mormon, but try to respect all believers. I have great respect for your mission work. My heart goes out to you at this time. Please know you have many supporters and are in many prayers.
Um. I hate cleaning. And somehow this seriously motivates me to get my tush moving and get my bathrooms cleaned! Love your family (am one of the IVF winners from last year, plus I went to highschool and worked with a couple extended family members).
I am praying for you my new sweet friend! I just watched a couple of your vlogs, you are a very beautiful and lovely person. Thank you for commenting.
You are so kind, thank you! I literally told my husband last night that he needs to start using his towel (and I do too) to wipe down the shower hardware when we step out. I am binging on all your videos today.
Katekagood I
I hate cleaning my bathroom too but watching her clean videos gives me inspiration.
I love your approach to cleaning! I can tell you genuinely care for your home and are a good steward of the things God has blessed you with. Keep these videos coming!
Hi Allison, how's your day going with you?
I love watching you're videos. You have such a lovely way about things. I look forward to when new videos are up. You are amazing! :)
Thanks gor sharing. How often do you clean your bathroom?
Love these videos. Your whole family is so real and down to earth.
Ruby did a video showing her kids how to get out of shower correctly. I think it stuck with her ;) hahaha!
I cannot stress enough ,How much these videos are helping me keep my appartment tidy. I have always had someone clean our house for me but when I moved out I would spend my entire weekend struggling to keep my appartment nice and clean.
These videos are already helping me so much.That's such a nich gesture
Please continue with the series
You two are so cute!!! Love watching all your family on RUclips. ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Debby, how's your day going with you?
Thank you for the Helpful advice, I´m looking forward for the next clean Tipps.
Love for you and your amazing Family.
Loving Parents, loving children and loving grandchildren, your family is a great example.
That was kind of you. Thank you.
Grandma and grandpa G, I know Ellie and Jarad have so many people posting on their videos they can’t read them all so I thought I’d mention this to you ☺️. Jackson has all of the beautiful new polished rocks, my son was also fond of rocks and polished them. One Mother’s Day Michael gave me a wrapped gift and was so excited for me to open it, it was one of his rocks that a jeweler had made into a necklace. He’s in law enforcement now and I still wear the necklace. It’s one of my most cherished possessions 😍. Maybe you can put a bug in Jarad’s and Jackson’s ear about making one for mommy for Mother’s Day or valentines etc. Ellie was exclaiming about a soft pink colored stone in the finished batch from yesterday. Wink wink.
My goodness why have I only just found your channel now? Your tips and positivity are what I need in my life. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. I always wished I could know how you do things from watching Ellie and how she talks about all that you have thought her. Your children are very lucky to have had you as their guide growing up. 😊
Great tips! You are an adorable couple 😁
I get so excited when I see another cleaning video from you. It's wonderful to see your husband is so supportive of you.
I love your videos! You are so informative and kind.
My mom refused to teach me how to clean and cook so now I have to watch videos online I’m so thankful to live in a time period where this is readily accessible to me
Such a wonderful video. Very practical and so encouraging. ♥️
Hi Christina, how's your day going with you?
Loved every second! You two are so blessed in so many ways, but you truly deserve everything you have accomplished and worked so hard for. You both have beautiful souls. 🙏🏼🤗
Hi Rossy, how's your day going with you?
Thank you for this, I needed it to help me!
Sweet video, you two are lovely and all what you are saying makes so much sense. I'm currently gearing up to sell my house and move in with my fiancé so I'm looking at a major decluttering, redecorating and deep cleaning project. My home isn't crammed or filthy or tatty, but we all have much more stuff than we realize and when you live on your own there is an element of 'Your own muck's clean muck' so you can turn a blind eye to certain grot spots and minor repairs needing done. I know how and what to clean, but I'm trying to get motivated for what seems like a huge task and your gentle approach helps. Thank you!
Hi Irene, how's your day going with you?
It takes longer to train a husband then to clean bathroom ;) lol
That "ohhhh" at the end of you telling the story about Ruby and her towel sounded just like Bonnie!!! Love you guys!
Great cleaning tips!!! Thank you..!!!❤️
These are my new favorite videos! Thank you so much for helping me keep my home tidy this year, it does not come naturally to me but everything just feels better and I am a much more present mom when I am not just worrying or feeling guilty about the mess in the house.
Say a prayer for me! I was an only child. My mom and I used the upstairs and my Dad downstairs! My family uses the same cleaning supplies and I love them, however....I have now been blessed with 4 sons! I feel outnumbered. Wieners are everywhere! Hugs!
oh BOY!!
This made me laugh!! lol I know the feeling. I raised 3 sons and felt outnumbered at times. :)
K Dopp: Easy. Start teaching your boys how to clean. Start them young with whatever tasks they can handle. Teach them that keeping the home clean is everyone's job and not just "mom's". Clleaning house is not "girl's" and "women's" work.
I love watching this whole playlist at the start of the new years. It’s a great refresh and reminder! ❤
Love this! Love parenting tricks! I love that he walked through the whole process of showering for the kids! I need more parenting advice like that! Thank you so much!
You are so awesome!!!! Love you guys!!! I do this every monday from top to bottom and then I keep it the best I can!!!! You are so good to do this to teach people my Grandmother taught me how to do somethings but she worked so she depended on me to pickup the slack. I didn't have my mom around she worked a lot she was raising 6 on her own well with my grandparents help.But I ask my mom one time how come the oven isn't clean and she said well I always had my husbands do it. I always had a self cleaning oven and I would clean it out as soon as anything would drip. But I thank you for this because even though I'm a grandma now I watch and learn all I can about this.. I even watch how to make a bed like a high end hotel so I can make my guests feel like they stay at one or a fresh clean crip bed and a nurse had made my bed in the hospital and she would sprinkle baby powder on my sheets and it was so soft and I smells good too!!
Funny... I’m older than you. However, Your cleaning habits and thoroughness remind me of my Gramma. She was the daughter of Irish immigrants and lived in tenements in Boston growing up. When she and my grandfather bought their first home it was 100 years old! They redid very surface and that place was as shiny a diamond! They kept their second home just as spotless. When Gramma got sick hey hired a cleaning service and were never really happy with it. Gramma died 40 yrs ago. My grandfather 5 yrs ago. The smell of “clean” STILL makes me think of them! THANK YOU for reminding me of the power of clean! And that I need to teach my own granddaughter! 🌹🙏🏼🌹
I can't express how much I love and appreciate you guys! I have depression but your videos are really helping me to have confidence in myself. I get so overwhelmed! I will just take it one step at a time.
Hi Andie, how's your day going with you?
Ok I paused & went to do my last of nr4... Im back to watch further... tx soooo much. So nice to see older woman & men 😉 lovingly teaching out of their lives cxx Tx from South Africa 🇿🇦
Thank you for taking the time to share this. I grew up in a very unhappy home. My mom did her best by us, but it was just best for me to stay out of my dad's way, so I spent as much time as possible up in my bedroom. I missed out on so much of this basic teaching because my mom was trying to protect me. I believe she did right by me, but I have found that my cleaning skills are definitely lacking. I get by, but my home isn't always ready for the magazine photographers like my mom's is. Thank you for sharing!
💕 my favourite vlogs 💕. I do my four a day tasks and I do feel my day goes better. I work four days a week and some weeks five days but doing these four tasks every day means that I can do all my other chores on my day off. You are right keeping on top of it every day helps. Thanks Mr & Mrs Griffiths for your words of wisdom and for your four tasks a day advice !
Hands down, best grandma ever 🌹
Thank you!! Cleaning is second nature to you. To clean a room is overwhelming to me because I don't know where to begin. Your process for cleaning is very helpful. Please continue to share your cleaning techniques with us! Have a blessed day!
Hi Lori, how's your day going with you?
Grandma Griff, such a great video for young adults and newly married couples and moms!
I love this. I agree, it's so relaxing when you can come home and enjoy a clean home!
No wonder why ellie has such a clean and organized home. She had a wonderful example. I love your videos! Great tips! Thank you for sharing
Thank you for the simple but wonderfully directive details. So many don't get taught the basics. Appreciate you. Blessings.
Absolutely LOVE grandma Griffiths!! 💕💕
