According to the WHO, 16% of the world's population is disabled 1.3 Billion people!) that is 1 in 6 of us. It's a massive minority and one that anyone can join in just a second, which is why it's so important for everything to be designed/implemented from an accessible standpoint. It is SO MUCH MORE expensive to retrofit a place to be accessible than to just build it that way in the first place!
As well as acquiring a disability at some point in life, just think about "temporary disability" like breaking a bone, SO MANY people live alone or just don't have the support of someone who can be there 24/7 for an extended period of time. Melissa's 2 videos give a teeny tiny glimpse of just one small aspect of living with a disability/restriction is like. If you have a broken arm/leg etc and experience a temporary period of disability and how hard just that small change makes life so much more difficult, please continue to be open minded about how other people with significantly more disabling conditions live, often on such inhuman budgets due to being unable to work, yet having a disability causes day to day expenses in excess of the norm!
So many countries worldwide will be voting this year, no matter where you live or your political affiliation, please consider how, who you are planning on voting for treats people with disabilities, that minority who you could join at any moment and with 1 in 6 people affected - people who you know and love.
You learn a lot about a society by how it treats the most vulnerable, it may not affect you right now but it most likely will at some point in the future
90% of people have or will be disabled for at least 6mo in their lifetime and it's much higher for those that reach retirement age. Also the rate of currently disabled people in the US was 25% pre COVID!
Also, on the political side I heard something that kinda blew my mind: all oppression is rooted in ablism. It's always the idea that X people can't be treated equally because they are "deficient" in some way. Women are weak, African Americans are stupid (used to be a medical term for the mentally disabled btw) even the idea Asians are smart. It's always about how capable they are or aren't. If we are to end discrimination in all it's forms, teaching the idea that disabled people are just as valuable and capable of independence as everyone else is the fastest, most effective and, in the end, the only way to do so. Imho a good place to start is to live up to the idea behind the ada and create a built environment that is actually fully accessible for everyone! (Ex the handicapped parking at my local playground doesn't connect to anything and doesn't even have a curb cut! Meanwhile I can't get there via the sidewalk or street because both get blocked with parked cars, many trucks & SUVs with hoods taller than I am when standing up!)
Ty for reading my little rant. Please seek out disabled creators here and on other online and IRL spaces. 💜🥄💜
I'm getting the brush set and working on getting the vacuum!😊
Thank you so so much for this very informative and kind comment. That’s what these people in power don’t understand, they too can become disabled at any moment or someone they love and money doesn’t fix everything. In 2016 the CDC went behind our backs and made guidelines that the DEA took it as a law and it’s not (they’re guidelines), they revised them but it hasn’t helped us in the chronic pain community much. We live in excruciating pain 24/7 and we basically have the DEA, CDC etc…in our doctor’s office. I lost my brother due to him being taken off his much needed pain medication cold turkey. We have a fentanyl crisis in America, not an Opioid Crisis. Look at the statistics. Now we have our veterans k*lling themselves bc they can’t take the pain, we lose people in the chronic pain community to suicide all the time and it’s heartbreaking. Some people can live without medication, but some of us unfortunately cannot. Our doctors are being scared out of prescribing, bc some really good doctors went to prison. One doctor who was in his 70s, house got raided when he was out of the state at another doctor’s hearing as a character witness (I believe). Anyways this doctor treated some of the worst pain in the world like CRPS (chronic regional pain syndrome) and he just decided to retire…his name is Dr Forest Tennant (he did it with tears in his eyes). You can read his life’s work and what happened by just typing his name in Google. He was highly respected and still is. Again thank you so much for your comment 💜
My wonderful daughter bought me a multi-functional spin scrubber. It has 8 different brushes for cleaning. It charges like a cell phone. Completely charged in 2 hours and can be used for 3 hours. The head tilts and the handle is extendable. She got it on Amazon and it was reasonably priced. It was a great Mother’s Day gift ❤️ Thank you Melissa. There are very few sites that offer cleaning techniques that focus on people with issues that make cleaning difficult. 🙂
What brand pleez??!!
Brand name please? Jeanne
I have the wonderful spin brush, but I haven't been able to change the brush. Luckily, I really like the brush I have on it now.
The name brand of the scrubber my daughter gave me is MABOGU Electric Spin Scrubber 8 in 1 cleaning brush
I have gotten scrubbers that chuck in my drill. It is a *bit* heavy, but I spend a fraction of the time doing the job. I even used them on my car upholstery.
How is the weight on your arm after using it for 15 minutes?
My daughter has 7 different autoimmune conditions and it means so much to me to see you take your time to research and educate on this topic.
Yes! The natural product recipes have helped reduce my inflammation levels I get with Hashimoto's.
Last year I had to quit work and file for disability, it was a really hard decision to make and I felt so defeated. I won’t know for another 11 months if they approve my disability or not. It’s been really hard having no income and it’s taken a toll on me mentally. I used to clean to help with my anxiety, it made me feel good and seeing a clean house made me feel relaxed and accomplished. Last month, I completely broke down because I couldn’t do what I could previously. I know I have to accept my new normal, but it’s hard. I try to make things easier, but with no income coming in, I don’t think I’ll be able to buy anything new. However, I will try to implement these ideas with what I have and hope things get better. Praying for all those who are dealing with any type of hardship!
I have seen a lot of RUclips channels that have taught me how to make stuff out of packaging. I no longer feel a strong desire to get organizers or containers. I have seen some videos use old packaging as scrubbers. I don't know if that helps, but it certainly keeps me from spending money unnecessarily.
Our system for filing for disability is horrible. Wishing you the best.
I am learning to pace myself with chronic illness... I love your videos, but I'm often exhausted just watching them, so this was a great way to start to rethink how to manage household chores, with more limited abilities than I had in the past. Thank you! ❤
Very good advice for seniors, or handicapped. As a senior, retired RN, I don't want to climb etc., always looking for space saving items, living minimally without clutter. Thank you for taking the time to address this. I also use a cordless hand drill w/ brush accessories to clean etc. Anything cordless and wheels is always my choice.
I love the electric spray bottle idea! That will help my arthritic hands! Thank you for the great ideas. 😁
Same here! I cleaned my shower yesterday and was barely able to spray one wall!
Good products for elder people and limited mobility. Thank you Angela
Thank you for making this video, I just turned 37 and I have spondylethesis and pinched nerves they go down my legs and cause terrible pain pretty much all the time. The grabber to not have to bend over has been invaluable to me. These tools help return some of our independence and freedom from horrible constraints of chronic pain.
I have herniated discs, severe nerve damage in my back and legs, tears in my knees, and severe osteoarthritis all over my body at the age of 49.
For anyone who uses a laundromat or has to take laundry up & down stairs, I HIGHLY recommend investing in a stair climbing laundry basket! I wouldn’t be able to do laundry by myself without one.
Thank you for making this video series! It’s nice to know I’m not the only person who struggles with cleaning. ❤
Monicarlo15 I have never heard of that. Where did you get it?
I need one of those. I have have stairs and can't take anything up and down really because I have my cane in one hand and holding onto the railing with the other. I use cross body straps for anything I can strap to my body going up and down.
Come to think of it, I probably couldn't handle even a climbing basket unless it's pretty light still.
Monicarlo15 I probably ordered it from Amazon. It's been more than 10 years but I'm sure I ordered it because taking it home on a bus would have been a lot lol
@@JustWatchMeDoThis yeah the one I have definitely takes some strength to pull it up the stairs when it’s full 😕 but it’s a lot better than trying to carry something imo!
Love your videos and these ideas. Having had a father who had ALS whose life and mobility changed dramatically, I know this information is important for so many.
Absolutely love this! I've been on a journey since injuring my knee. A clean house is so important to me, but last year, I was left for 5 months awaiting a surgery unable to walk and had to depend on friends coming over to help clean as I was in a wheelchair. I now injured my other knee, but am still somewhat mobile, so this video comes in perfectly timed for me ❤️👍🏻
Love using a stool on casters, although mine has a height adjustable pneumatic seat so that I can raise or lower myself to manage seated cleaning of higher and lower surfaces. The laundry sorter is great,: but I suggest using two! One is for laundry, of course; but a second one is nice for refuse recyclables! Where I live I am required by community code to rinse and separate all plastic and metal packaging before tossing it. The bags are perfect to separate rinsed plastic bottles, glass jars, and cans into light weight and easily portable packages. Finally, I remove pet hair from carpet or furniture by attaching a pair of worn "latex" kitchen gloves to my Makers Mop by sliding them onto it, then dampening the rubber slightly with water and sweeping it over surfaces to collect the hair! Thanks, M, for so many great tips!
I love my Makers mop to clean my shower and bathtub. It saves my back from hurting my back and my knees that were injured in a car accident. Thank you Melissa and Chad!!!
The grabber looks great. My husband has limited mobility and is home alone while I am at work. This would be a great tool for him.
They are invaluable! I have several grabbers a little different than the one she showed. Found them at thrift stores so they are a little old. Mine have a little magnet already on it. Keep them in different areas of the house so they are close at hand. 😊
I use one of those foldable garden stools with storage pouches for getting low for cleaning.
Could you link the one you use or give the name? Thank you!
Already use a few of these, and now have ideas for many more! Thank you so much for making additional content to raise awareness about making cleaning more universally accessible!
Thank you so much for this video and your response to my query about mobility & cleaning. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your videos. I started my "spring cleaning" April 1st thinking that I would need two weeks as opposed to the two days it took in my youth. Well surprise, it took me two months. But discovering your channel has helped inspire me along the way and I appreciate the updated techniques & products. Thank you Melissa.
Hello Melissa and CMS Team 🤗,
I’m so grateful for this series of videos, they came right on time for me. I am Disabled with chronic pain and limited mobility, multiple severe medical issues and I recently had a major fall. Back in Sept 2023. I currently have my third set of braces on both ankles, both knees and multiple injuries to my back, as well. I just started Physical Therapy for my back and core, this is week 4.
It is so hard to do daily tasks I am so overwhelmed and don’t have any help. So I’m trying to do it myself and I am struggling physically and it’s exhausting at times.
I have a cart on wheels in my bathroom for bathrooms cleaning supplies under my over the toilet rack nestled to the side next to my toilet. I keep my swifter wet jet in the bathroom behind the door w/swifter pads on cart.
In my kitchen, I have some supplies under the sink. But I do have a small cleaning caddy too. But I can’t seem to find a better solution for them. I do have two fairly new vacuums a handheld an upright both for pets. ( even though I don’t own pets currently ). I get a tremendous amount of dust in my apartment. It’s hard to keep up with it all. Not sure what to do…
From this video, I do like the idea of the creeper stool, the Maker broom and the spin scrubber w/ extensions. I have high walls and ceilings.
*** Please make this a regular segment series of videos with this concept content on cleaning w/limited mobility. ***
Thank you so much.,
Crystal from NYC 😊
I would love to try out the Maker's Mop!.
Thank you for all the Great tips, Melissa!! ❤
Once again Melissa thank you so much for doing this , those of us with pain and mobility difficulties appreciate you so so much
Thank you for your kind words, I'm glad my content is helpful to you! Melissa
OMG Melissa, thank you so much for doing these 2 part videos. I am in a wheelchair due to diabetes & have arthritis in both hands. I love the Maker's Mop for hard to reach places. I also use the Maker's Microfiber cloths as well. My absolute go to for easy cleaning is the Synoshi spin scrubber. Fabulous tool. Keep up the great content!!!
Thank you so much for this video. I am 74 and struggle with hand arthritis. This is so helpful.
I had mentioned in your previous video that I love your Makers Mop. I have psoriatic arthritis and osteo arthritis and your mop is wonderful for floors, tub and shower cleaner, walls, ceilings. I got it when you first came out with it and have loved it since.
Thank you for doing videos to help those with chronic conditions and special needs. 🤗💚💙💜
Thanks for taking the time to address an issue that impacts so many of us. We appreciate you. Im under 5 feet tall and deaf in one ear as well as being older, so for me ladders are not my friend and the grabber would help me keep my feet on the ground lol. Ive also been wanting a scrubber for cleaning the shower though. Been meaning to get one of those.
I am 24yo and my chronic pain has made it very very difficult to keep up with cleaning even tho I am not working right now. My mom has offered me an electric brush and I am excited to use it! I know this is a cleaning channel but you have done such an amazing job at research that I wonder if we could get a video on accessible kitchen tools. I always feel like cooking is one of these tasks that take me lots of energy but I love cooking. I wish it could be less demanding.
This is excellent! Due to motor vehicle accidents my body isn’t what is used to be - these methods are so useful to someone like me! 🙌
That extendible electric scrubber sounds very useful but if it is heavy some people would have a problem lifting it. I love the cleaning ghost and that's what my mom called it!!
The ghost mop and the electric extendable scrubber!!! What a great video!!!!
Love all the tools shown in the video! Thank you for helping us for so many years Melissa! Love from BC! 💜
This is such valuable information and content!
I’m 65 and have struggled with mobility issues for years. I’m so impressed that you are addressing this issue as a real need for many people.
I , unfortunately, have to have one of my daughters come to help me with housework. The floors are the biggest challenge for me. I know it’s after the deadline, but I’ve dreamed of having a Dyson cordless stick vacuum!!! I have two pets. The shedding is miserable and totally unmanageable for me.
I have shoulder issues and back problems. Vacuuming is so painful for me. Mopping is out of the question! I look at the vacuum and DREAM!!!
If you have any future drawings, I would love to be entered into one for a vacuum.
I appreciate you addressing this very real issue for many, many of us! I love your content and your videos are very helpful. Thank you, Melissa!!!! ❤
I have a robot vacuum from Eco VAX and it works to help maintain pet hair. I hope this helps. It can also do mopping.
This is great! I use a grabber you can orient the pincher part either sideways or vertical to make it easier to get stuff. I glued a magnet to the middle of the inside head so if I'm getting a can or something, it'll hold heavier without slipping! I also use a kids plastic chair (they've outgrown them) when cleaning the floors. If it rolled I think I wouldn't be able to push the brush I hold as much/as hard since I'd have my legs engaged to keep the cart still.
I'm seriously considering the mop you showed. My arthritis, since I was little, hates the weather change but the house still gets dirty. Thank you for making this video! I currently have a mop bucket with a handle that I put all my cleaning stuff in. A rolling cart may help me keep track of my drink! 😂
Thank you💖
These are great suggestions, as a mom with chronic pain and two young kids (age 5 and 6) I have found having small cleaning goals has helped as well as helping teach my kids how to pick up their things and put them away. Most of the clutter in our house comes from lots of imaginative play and they have learned if they can take it out then they can help put it away.
Thank you for these! I am looking for items that my husband can use, since he has EDS and very unstable joints -- sometimes his shoulder can start to slip out of the socket if he is just eating or hanging up his coat and it is severely painful if he doesn't stop it from slipping all the way out. I am going to look at the reacher grabber tool and the electric scrubber. Please keep these videos coming; we really appreciate it! I subscribe to 3 other cleaning channels and none of those have dedicated specific videos solely to cleaning/organizing with mobility issues.
Thank you so much for your video. It's so wonderful that you care enough to see and hear those of us with chronic pain. I would love to get the Makers Mop and extendable scrubbers. 😊
Looks like the Makers Mop and extendable scrubbers are the dream team for cleaning champions! Your choices have been noted... Melissa
I've been waiting for this video since you announced it last week Melissa. Thank you for this content. Something I'd like to share about people with limited mobility, at least my experience, is for others to not be afraid afraid or embarrassed to both ask AND offer help if you can, even if something seemingly small. Before having mobility issues I always said I wouldn't like anyone helping me (I thought that would be embarrassing.) But once I started experiencing mobility limitations, many times I've wished people would offer help. Sometimes it's not even the physical help, it's the mental part of it. For example, when having to cross a busy street with my crutches, I wished the people that were passing me by would have offered to accompany me the stretch of the crossroad. Of course they couldn't have walked it for me, but it would have been lovely if they could have walked it WITH me ❤️. No one ever did, and that stuck with me a lot. I still have some mobility issues but now they are different. What would be helpful right now would be to have that cleaning rolling 🛒 cart, it would be lovely 💕. Have a great week everyone.
I love the grabber! Good video. Love that you spoke with an OT for this
Very helpful! My parents both need tools to assist them and I got some ideas to help them! Thank you!
The powered extendable scrubber is a dream come true. I love to clean and have even thought of starting my own cleaning business, but some recent back and nerve issues have taken a toll on me. I saw this on Amazon ordered and next day was loving this thing. Scrubbing the bathtub was the biggest help. My daughter kept hearing me praise it and wanted one to. Silly Mother's day gift but she is in love with it, also commented that she loved doing base board with it. I hadn't even thought about that. Thanks for doing a series on this, cleaning has been one of the biggest frustrations for me. I'm house proud I guess and stressing when you can't do the work like you used to.
Thanks for thinking of us, Melissa! I adapted when Fibromyalgia cratered my career and took my life savings. I powered through treatment for aggressive cancer that left me with peripheral neuropathy and lymphedema. Unfortunately, congenital scoliosis, severe spinal stenosis and two herniated discs stacked on shoulder dysplasia / arthritis have left me feeling defeated when it comes to daily cleaning tasks. I appreciate the tips you and your commenters shared.
Such great ideas. I’m very interested in the rolling stool. Looks perfect for some of my most difficult tasks. Thanks.
Thank you for your insights and for creating your videos. I am 4 feet 11 inches tall. So, I was glad to see the extenders and for reaching.
I just bought the extendible scrubber. It looks like a game changer!
I use most of your tips and ideas already. I wish you were around 20 years ago so I wouldn’t have to discover these things alone. I hope everyone who is searching for solutions pay close attention. She is spot on.
I've been watching her videos for years and love them. I've use multiple tips and tricks and it also has help speed up my processes. And I used to clean for a living. ❤
I have been watching your videos for years now and also own many of your microfiber cloths and makers mop. Your products have been great and your ideas have been very helpful through all these years. I have been suffering with arthritis and mobility issues and this recent video was of great interest to me. Thank you for your content!
Love the idea of thy Makers Mop, and the wand scrubber for shower/tub. These two items would help me get motivated to clean more often.
Thanks for the comments! You've been entered! Have a good night! Melissa
Thank you, Melissa! I have a partially paralyzed right side. I appreciate all the tips & tricks i can get! Love your microfiber cloths & mop & videos/cleaning recipes!
The one I know I would use is the makers mop. With a spinal cord injury it’s very difficult for me to use a broom. Something about the motion of it throws my back into a whirlwind of pain for 2-3 afterwards. But, I can use a similar type of product and it doesn’t bother me near as bad. I do so very much appreciate these videos. They’re very helpful!
I have a lot of your products & I love them all. Especially the Makers Mop, which is light weight & easy to use with its swivel head. It makes cleaning the walls & floors much easier. Thanks for all of your cleaning tips & tricks! 😊
Have ordered the electric scrubbing wand. Arriving today and am so looking forward to getting it. Have arthritis and am sure this will be helpful. Thank you for your videos. 😊
That motorized scrub brush looks awesome! I could definitely use it to clean my tub and make it much easier!
This video came in perfect timing. I have arthritis in my hands and a herniated back. I ordered the mop several days ago and am looking forward to it arriving. I love cleaning my home but I can't clean like I used to, I just do what I can do a little each day. Thank you for all your videos. They are so helpful.
I truly appreciate this video so so so much!!! I'm super pregnant and I have definitely reached the limited mobility stage of my pregnancy. So I have been concerned with how I will continue cleaning our home in the until I get to the last few weeks for labor and delivery. My toughest job is keeping our stone shower clean. I'm so happy to learn about the shower cleaner tool, the stool, and the grabber tool. I needed all of those tools from the beginning of my pregnancy! I'm happy to know that I can continue to deep clean as needed even with limited mobility due to your super great and educational video of awesome tools out there to help. God bless and I love your channel!
Maker's Mop looks like something I need. Thanks for this content. I'm cleaning with MS.
Hi Sydney! CONGRATULATIONS! You've been selected as the winner of our giveaway. Please send us a note to info@cleanmyspace.com :)
I definitely need that electric scrubber. My issues are knee related and getting on the floor to scrub the bathtub is out of the question. I’m going to order one!
What great information! We have a Maker's Mop and in general I love it. I love the pads & how light weight it is. It never ceases to amaze me how much dog hair it can pick up and not drop any. Our locking feature doesn't work very well on it, which drives me nuts but I love the other features too much to buy something else.
Thanks for seeing people who's bodies need unique adaptations.
Just ordered the electric mister!! I do use the Maker's mop and it has made my life easier. I do have a robot vacuum and love it. I have a somewhat new heavy vacuum and am hesitant to get another one right now. Especially since hubby just retired. A lightweight one is on my list, but we have to see how our monthly expenses work out first.
I am SO glad that you are doing a limited mobility video series!!!! I have been wanting this for soooooo long. My sister and I have a podcast all about my neurodivergent brain, and I was just talking to her about how cleaning is so difficult for me. These ideas are sure to help me out! Thank you!!!!!
Your kind words mean a lot to me. I appreciate your enthusiasm for the video series.
I would love the lightweight vacuum. I have limited mobility & weakness with my shoulder replacement. The regular vacuum is okay for main areas, but is cumbersome for stairs, under & behind furniture, etc. Thanks for this valuable series! 😊❤
I appreciate all the tips and tricks you provided in this video. I am older and overweight, so this was really helpful!
Age and weight are just numbers, the real magic happens when you start incorporating those tips! Thanks for watching! Melissa
Thank you so much for the content! I've watched for years, since before you launched your first cloth, and to see you suggests is great after modify some of your og method for myself (adhd and chronic pain). Your mop is a godsend. Please keep mixing this type of content in. ❤
I love the cleaning ghost ideas, I have tried my own ghost ideas to help me clean above my head and I can stay stable as a disabled person on solid ground!
The spray bottle is something I will invest in for sure as well as the laundry cart idea.
I have a single one but three would be enough better, after separating all the laundry for my family, I usually have to put it all on the floor then I have to bend to pick them up and it becomes a hardship.
Thanks Melissa for everything you do in making myself simpler with all the ideas you post!
I still use the many cleaning recipes for each room in the house as well as the many liquid hand soaps ideas, that started with the Covid-19 pandemic!
Always, a great experiment with each new idea 💡!
👍🎉
I love the rolling stool. I’m very Arthritic all over my body…and right now I have knee issues. I had bilateral hip surgery, so I really like the stool, and the electric spray bottle. Actually I wish I had them all, Love them all, due to my physical health condition. Thank you very much for all your cleaning tips. I watch all your cleaning videos, cuz I love a clean home. Ty
I definitely plan on getting a Maker's Mop. I have an electric scrubber and it's wonderful.
Thank you for these videos Melissa! I've had cerebral palsy since age 2 years old (mild). But I have had lower back pain for 8 years after accidentally falling down my basement steps 8 years ago. I'm just now getting physical therapy for it because of a siatic nerve that recently started. Any one of these tools would help me. Love your videos
Very interesting video. I do have 3 things that you mentioned in this video. Thank you for speaking out for those who suffer from pain or mobility ❤
Thank you so much for making this video! I do use the spray bottle dispenser for two things: for my hair and for my microfiber mop when I cant' get it to a closer water source. I would LOVE to get the extendable scrubber. I clean many houses along with my own and this will be very helpful to prevent future mobility issues no matter how old I am.
The scrubber brush is awesome! I love using it!
Thank you, Melissa, for showing the small rolling stool. It'll be great for painting on low walls and trim, as well as cleaning. I'd never seen the powered smaller spray bottle either, which is genius!
This Apple Watch information is great. I have already shared it with several friends who are seniors and friends who have older family members who live alone. It also prompted me to update my health information on my iPhone. Keep up the good work of
keeping us educated. Love the dust ghost - gonna put a rubber band on my makers mop handle to keep it handy 😊. Thanks Melissa
Haha, the dust ghost strikes again! Love the idea of the rubber band on the mop handle. Practical solutions are the best! Thanks for watching and supporting and have a great night! Melissa
Thank you for this. I have been on Dialysis since 2008 and have chronic pain and energy deficiency. I use a turbo scrubber and love it. I also love my Dyson V12 previously reviewed by you.
I love my electric spin scrubber. It makes cleaning the shower so much easier! I originally bought it to clean my tile floor but it has proven itself time and again as the perfect bathroom cleaning tool.
Who knew cleaning could be so exciting? Spin scrubbers for the win!
Wonderful video enjoyed it very much I don't have mobility issues, but I have lost vision and that makes cleaning challenging
Thank you just ordered power scrubber and stick vacuum. Love your tips.
Thank you for addressing all these concerns. Great tools and tips!
I'm glad you found the video helpful!
I just bought one of those telescoping spinning scrubby things and this video got me psyched to use it! Your mop is intriguing 🤔 me as well😊. I currently have an undiagnosed ankle problem for which I have had to have several casts and also a chronic back problem where I can only clean in small spurts. Thanks for this video - it was very helpful!
I already have a spin scrubber. I love it for the bathroom. The product I saw in the video that I would like is the Maker's clean mop. It looks so easy to use. I absolutely love your chanel.
I love the vacuum and how it can go under the furniture. How lightweight it is and flexible! It is just absolutely amazing what vacuums can do compared to years ago when I first injured my back. Thank you so much for doing this video! ❤
I always enjoy watching your videos. I definitely want to try that scrubber and I never considered how useful of stool would be that seems very practical. Your videos are always filled with knowledge. Thank you for the time that you put into making these videos.
I love your cleaning ideas. The grabber is so important to me since neither my husband nor I can get on our knees and I am in a sling now for 6 weeks with rotator cuff surgery.
Goodness me! Poor you! Glad the video helped! Get well soon! Melissa
Thank you for this video! I've got chronic back pain and cleaning is often a painful task, but I manage just as we all do. I have a few of the items recommended in this video, but I think the next thing I need is the Makers Mop! I appreciate the attention to this particular topic! Thanks, Melissa!
One thing I forgot to suggest. It doesn’t pertain to cleaning with limited mobility, but for people of that age group. After my husband passed away and I had no one to remind me , I was afraid that one day when I was cooking, that I could easily forget and end up with a kitchen fire. So I invested in a Ninja Foodi with all the different functions on how I wanted to cook (pressure cooker, air fryer, sauté, warm, etc.). I also imvested in the time to learn how to use it. Now I always use the Ninja Foodi. And now I am relieved knowing that I will never have a fire in the kitchen again. You can even use the sauté button if you need to boil water.
I've been checking out those bathroom cleaning brushes because of injuring the shoulders. Thanks for making my choice so much easier.
The extended spin scrubber looks amazing. Long Covid has taken me out of the cleaning game for a few years, and my ambition still exceeds my energy. Anything that saves some spoons is welcome!
I use the Bissell Steam-shot to reduce scrubbing when possible. Steam and a microfiber cloth can loosen and remove dirt like crazy.
We keep 3-4 grippers around the house. The Dollar Tree gripper works surprisingly well, but it can’t hold onto heavier objects like a phone. So having a stronger gripper as well is helpful.
I just finished a bedroom deep clean using many of these techniques. Used a microfiber on a swiffer handle to dust and spot clean the walls. Dollar tree also has a new fluffy duster-style mophead that can be used as a very long duster. I’m lucky enough to have a robot vacuum and mop, and I sent them both on several passes before I went in with a mop to make sure everything was definitely clean. Sent the mopping robot back to perform a gentle rinse before i went back with a light conditioning and buffing with a clean microfiber on a swiffer. Which by then *absolutely* was done while sitting in a shower stool. And it took 2 days! But if I hadn’t used these methods, I would have given up by the second day. 🩵
Melissa thank you so much for doing this video series! I love all your videos! I love the Makers mop! ❤❤❤
A really valuable video. Thanks Melissa!
Loved the video I ordered the scrubber right after I saw it I have arthritis and that looks fantastic.
I just bought an extendable electric scrubber and used it to clean the shower. I would love to get the Maker’s mop ❤
Appreciate the safety info with chronic pain and limited mobility great ideas you gave and I love the mop features, use of a rolling cart and my favorite the power scrubber! Really helps clear hard water soap residue left on the porcelain shower glass shower doors. Keep up the great work and advocating for people challenged to do household chores. Cleaning companies are very expensive!
I find a clothing line expandable support pole to be crazy useful. I am short and have problems raising my arms so this comes in handy for: placing and removing hummingbird feeders, wind chimes, tarps; opening and closing drapes; it reaches further thsn a grabbitt and is so handy.
Thank you for sharing the Apple press release as well as the information on fall detection. I’ve just shared these with family and friends.
Awesome! Thank you!
Great video! The product I am considering is the electric extendable scrubber. Thank you!😊
I would love to see how you rinse and hang your cloths after a clean up. I know how to do this but I’d love to see how you hang yours. I do not have a clothes line and really can’t figure out how to use a retractable one in my home. Thank you tremendously for what you do and I appreciate your time and effort!!!
I liked the extendable rod with the different cleaning heads. That would definitely help with many tasks to make it easier to clean.
Thank you for all of your helpful advice and products. 😊
Thank you for sharing all of this information. The stool and the scrubber would be game changers for me. I would buy all of these products because bending and stooping is difficult.
Thank you for your kind words! It means a lot to me.
like the electric spray bottle design. Fits me well.
Great follow-up, Melissa! Thank you. You can't imagine how many lives you're changing for the better. ❤ I LOVE my electric extenible scrubber!! I use it for the shower and tub, but I also use it for the grout in tile floor in the hallway (with your FANTASTIC DIY cleaner of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda!), the glass panels of our hallway chandelier that's way up in the pitch of the roof, and windows and sills. Even my husband uses a separate one for a bunch of outdoor projects: washing the cars, cleaning the deck, and cleaning the garbage cans. We both find it to be a game changer. I will be looking into those electric spray bottles for my niece who has rheumatoid arthritis in her hands. And I think I'll be looking into the Maker's Mop as well! The top of my kitchen cabinets are easy enough to dust, but a nightmare to clean. I literally stand on a ladder to do it. This mop has the potential to end that nightmare!🤞
The tool i would like to use is the Electric Extendible Scrubber:. I have been eye balling it for a while now but haven't taken the plunge, didn't want to waste any money. i have a husband and 4 kids and let me tell you, there is no shortness of cleaning😂. i like cleaning products and tools to help me do thing more efficiently, quickly and things that can add a little joy into it. Great video Melissa💙
I am going to try those electric spin scrubbers since it is hard for me to use my knee while cleaning the bathtub. Right now, I have been cleaning my tub every other day after showering so it doesn't get too dirty and require hard scrubbing. That electric spray bottle also looks very useful. Thank you so much for making this video and finding good options for those who have some kind of disability or simply want to work smarter, not harder.
Some great ideas! Thank you! Love my Makers Mop!
