Girl at this point the apartment building owes YOU a security deposit and cleaning fee 😭😭😭
immediately!
I know that’s right
RIGHT!!!!
It’s sad but whoever dose the cleaning at all apartments don’t know the meaning of clean fr
I just moved in to an apartment, yesterday actually. They charge a security deposit and cleaning fee. Before moving in we noticed that it was DISGUSTING and mold in a few places. We had the cleaning lady come back, it smelt like she cleaned but we saw absolutely no difference. It’s like she sprayed Lysol then left. Hence why I’m here 💀
Please do part 2. You inspired me to deep cleaning my house!
Coming soon!
bookmarking this for when i move to my college apartment in a few weeks :)
Thank you for this ❤.
Any time!
Please Continue ❤
I own a cleaning business! Move in / move out cleanings are so essential to making sure you’re living in a fresh, clean environment ❤
i wish my landlord hired u 😅
Girllll part 2 please! I’m about to move and I’d love to have your full checklist before I go
u got it!
Great job - you cleaned places most people would never think of cleaning. Very motivating!!
Thank you!! 😊
Thank you for letting us know this all didn’t happen in one day. That’s very encouraging! 🥰
Youre very welcome!
Girl, this is DNA removing level of cleaning! 😂 🙌🏼 The landlord should give you a credit for the work you put in! I appreciate all the tips and tools plus showing areas often overlooked. This was inspiring, relaxing and helpful.🙏🏻
PSA: many GE ovens have a steam clean feature. Just pour 1 cup of warm *distilled* water onto the bottom of the oven--it has its own built-in "tray" like yours and run the steam clean. It does a great job of loosening debris and all you have to do is wipe down the oven.
glad u enjoyed it 💕 thanks for the tip!!
Do I need to clean? Yes. Will I watch someone else clean as “inspiration” despite needing to clean? Yes
every time!
You had that dishwasher looking brand new! I've never seen anyone clean the dishwasher (and the garbage disposal as well) so thoroughly. It was so satisfying to watch. And I also feel validated because I clean things thoroughly like that. I'm aware that (hopefully) places hire someone to clean an apartment before a new resident moves in. But that doesn't mean that they do a good job. I found 3 size 2T tshirts and a pair of jeans when I moved my dryer so that I could clean behind it. So it doesn't hurt to be thorough in your cleaning.
thank you! as u should. there’s alot of gratification that comes with doing it yourself sometimes.
I know you're a cleaning queen, but the best thing I ever started doing was paying a local, woman-owned small business cleaning crew to go into my new spaces and give them a thorough deep clean. It was a game changer.
love that u support your local community. perhaps ill look into it for my next move.
Excellent idea!
I like doing it myself because I need to see the dirt and see that I removed all the things etc I have sensory problems lmao
that garbage disposal trick was iconic and horrifying
I've never met anyone who would go to the trouble of cleaning their dishwasher to that extent! Especially in a rented house or apartment. You're a BEAST! That was inspirational and disgusting. 😉
This video was amazing!!!! It helped me understand there are more environmentally friendly ways to clean. I always have assumed they don't clean as well. I really enjoyed watching it WORK!! You make it look easy, but I know it takes a ton of energy. I would love more deep cleaning videos!!!
thank u so much!! 😊 glad u found it helpful. I’ll definitely do more 💕
as a person who was never taught anything abt anything by my parents (and also has adhd, so if they did "teach me" it wasn't enough for me not to forget it), this is already gonna come in *so* much help when i finally move out. idk how to adult yet, but ill find out on my own lol, n these vids rlly rlly help!
im sorry to hear that but know that you are absolutely capable. you can do anything! ♥️
@@abetweene thank you so much
girl same. my mom is a slob and gave me horrible cleaning/hygiene habits. stuff like this helps so much.
I have never in my life been aware of that garbage disposal tip with ice + hot water. I decided to give it a try this morning and was appalled at the amount of gunk that dislodged. Equally absolutely disgusting as it is deeply satisfying. Thanks so much for these tips and the effort you put into these videos!
Lol, right! disgusted that it exists, but lowkey rewarding
Girlll you on a whole other level, I been livin Nasty moving into these apartments. NOT NO MOE!!!!!! You got me cleaning on a chill day.
I’m young & moving into my first apartment after living in hotels for the past 3 years and I came across this video . I needed this so bad I’m big on energy & cleansing & this cleaning routine will have me on the right track to do so & freely enjoy my new home 🥰 !!!
glad to hear you have a place to call yours now. im proud of u 💕
@@abetweene thank you so much 🥹
Please part two. I’m moving next month and just got a Bissel steam shot in preparation. A full checklist would be phenomenal
i gotchu sis
9:27 I don't think the dishwasher was this clean since its warehouse days. You're meticulous!
😂😂
Congrats on your new place A 🥰🥰🎉 and I'm here for the tips but especially the calm and soothing that cleaning brings👌👌😊. Kudos for the list too 🤗.
Thank you so much 🤗
I could watch you clean all day. ✨
😊
I second all the comments saying how satisfying and educational your cleaning videos are. You should make a video talking about the cleaning products you use including the tools. I’d love to learn about more environmentally friendly and safer cleaning products.
I used to manage apartments for years. I wouldn’t let an apartment get rented like this. However, I always did a walk-through with a checklist and went through with new residents moving in, because I wanted to make sure they were happy upon move-in. If they felt something wasn’t clean, I’d either clean it myself (if it was 1 or 2 things that would take me 20 minutes or less to complete) or get the cleaners to come back, if there were more items that the resident wasn’t happy with. Most of the time, the cleaners will come back for free, if the resident (or myself) is not happy with the cleanliness upon move in, at least with the companies I used. I would send the cleaners back with what needs to be redone. Apartment managers pay companies to come and clean, so please let your manager know if they need to come back. This helps out the manager and the management of the cleaning companies (or helps the housekeeping staff, if they have their own housekeepers). This helps the cleaners understand the expectations of the residents and management as well. I’ve managed properties in all different areas, but my standards were the same at new apartments and apartments that were built decades prior. Please communicate with your rental office, if the cleanliness is not to your standards. However, I did enjoy watching this video, thank you!
Who ever gets apartments AFTER you! 🎉🎉🎉 Blessings!!!!
My favorite person is back!!!!!!!
People should do this more often... if at all, because I know people who certainly don't check, ever.
Thanks for a great informative and calming video, as always!
Also: the loofa. Yes! My granmother and her mother used it in the kitchen, it was super cheap and effective.
I love your cleaning videos! You make cleaning look so elegant 😎 But when you took that dishwasher apart to clean it I thought, holy schnikes, I would never remember how to put it back together 😂 Also, my washing machine has a self cleaning cycle that notifies me every 40 cycles to do it. It super heats the water and takes 4 hours to run so I do it at bedtime. It keeps that funky smell from developing. 🤠
was like good thing infilmed me taking it apart just in case i forgot 😂 An appliance thatll remind me to do stuff? sign me up!
Scrolling through my recommended videos and I just know my phone be in my business. 😭😭 I’m getting ready to move and I was planning on wiping everything down, cleaning the carpets, and steam moping the floors. It’s ESSENTIAL AND NECESSARY to do this beforehand, because you definitely showed how unclean clean can look and be.
now this is a deep clean that’s what i’m talking about👏🏽
That’s the cleanest dirty water I ever seen lol (after cleaning the oven). Thank you for doing this video. Some of us need this help and didn’t get it at home.
oh thay was just the final rinse from the citric acid & water. i didnt show the dirty soap water lol. happy to help 💕
Me gagging and running to dump all the ice into my garbage disposal to see what happens omg
Lol. i expect an update
0:35 Fun fact: You can actually take off the oven door without unscrewing anything. Just put back the silver latches on either side and the oven door lifts right off.
If you're lazy/ have money to burn, then you can hire a cleaner to do it for you! Naturally, do research before you hire. After moving into 3 apartments, the next one will have to be cleaned by someone else lol
Part 2 please ! This was soooo satisfying! Took me back to when we moved into this house three years ago….it was (somewhat) visually clean but in reality sooo deep down filthy 😵💫. I cleaned and cleaned but we have since replaced literally everything but the washer and dryer.
part 2 coming soon! glad u were able to replace almost all of it. that musta been a big relief
love this! thinking about moving out from my family home soon and this is super helpful
Good luck!!
Please let us know how to clean, sanitize, and reuse the cleaning clothes 🙏🏽. Love, love, love the content you put out 🙏🏽
Will do!!
the screwdriver truck! I’ve never used citric acid for cleaning but I’m going to have to get some, that shine is great
u wont regret it 😏
Even if you do this before you move out you will still have a cleaning fee taken out of your security deposit.
Girl you are a godsend!! I literally just watched another video that was a move in clean like this. And I was lie this is cool, like good cleaning and tips etc but it was A TON of products and mostly Clorox. I was like dang I need an eco friendly, mostly non toxic cleaning person to watch and learn from. Literally was starting to fold laundry and decided to play something. I was scrolling on RUclips under the move in clean search and came across yours. I don't know what drew me to your video but it definitely didn't have eco friendly clean plastered on it. But anyway I started watching it and literally subscribing, ai swear by Dr. Bronners and I love that you point out what we can use like loofah(never thought to consider compressed loofah as a sponge alternative). Or that fact you use mostly soap, specifically dr.bronners and vinegar and baking soda. Of course there are other products you use but nothing harsh and extreme! Absolutely captivated and ready to learn to clean on this level.
glad i could help 🤗 yesss, i swear by Dr. Bronners cause when u know, u know! Now im thinking i should add eco friendly to the title 🤔 Lol
i get icks deep cleaning with towels and rags bc i just can't stand looking and the dirt,, i just want to throw it away immediately. Do you just rinse off the dirt on the rags or toss them in the wash?
I grab clean towels often while cleaning, so i go threw a lot and wash them after.
Incredible content
you're so smart
thats very kind, thank u
This is probably such a stupid question but how are there metal racks in the microwave?
Lol, great question. according to google, apparently some grades are microwave safe 🤷♀️
You should have your own Amazon store set up so people can low-key stalk you there, too ;).
i think i have an old amazon storefront but i cant update it 😆
There's something ab cleaning videos that neutralizes my adhd and i cant stop watching lol 😂
yas dopamine!!!
Moving to Dallas from Brooklyn, my sister viewed the place for me on FaceTime. I am shipping my things down, my sister will clean the place for me. However, I will arrive prior to my things. I will certainly make sure I check everything like dish washer, washer and dryer etc. I'm so ridiculous, I know I'll have to clean it for myself.
I’ve been loving this cleaning series! Thank you for making the videos
Glad you liked it 💕
So gross, so nasty ,so disgusting , but that cleaning was soo satisfying. Everything you do on your channel, my eyes are glued.
Oh lawd! What the heck was in that dryer vent? And were those gnats in the microwave vent? They should be paying you to clean all those units. You have those appliances sparkling like new❣️ Go mama🥰
no gnats but that dryer was very much disgusting. ty!
love your cleaning skills
Thanks
No wonder your last leasing agency didn't want you to leave! lol wow!
lol 😂 as they should! 😏
Good that my apartment didnt have a kitchen and zero furnitures had to buy everything brand new. Pro is that you only need deep cleaning for the floor, windows etc. because everything else is new, contra is that its expensive to buy every single piece of furniture new yourself, plus a new kitchen.
Do you have a cleaning business? You are amazing!
i dont but flattered you think i could. thank you!
the way the things you do just make sense
the way dirt just gets everywhere is insane
giving us satisfying cleaning clips AND educating us?? girl this video is god sent!! thank you so so much for this!!
I'm moving in three weeks. I am dreading the big clean at both places. Your landlord should give you a cleaning credit - it should not have been that dirty!
had i been able to address it sooner, probably but its too late now unfortunately.
I’ll be honest, I thought “cleaning the dishwasher” meant taking out and washing the filter thing that gets grossly sticky-gunky & running the thing empty once in a while…
moving into an appartment soon so already using some of these!! ty so much
you’re very welcome!
I wish I knew how to do take things apart like that! I always know that I could clean better. The microwave has so many small holes with grease and dust! It makes me crazy
When you were pulling stuff out of your dishwasher that looked like hair, I was so grossed out but couldn't look away😵💫! Definitely inspired to do a deep clean of my rental!
I loved how well you explained everything. I was never taught how to clean things with natural products so I have definitely been using things wrong. MUCH LOVE!!
youre very welcome!
Loved this video! I’m definitely buying citric acid. I already use vinegar in my cleaning routine and it is very effective. You are the boss in cleaning!😊
youre gonna love it 😉
Ugh this makes sad I live with roommates, I want to do this but I know how they are and won’t keep shit that way. Can’t wait to get my own house. 😢
It doesn’t matter though cause I am obsessed with your videos! Also I need a steamer! 😍
i kno its frustrating when pple u live with dont share your ideals, so the best u can do is to only focus on what u have control over. You have full reign of your bedroom, so take pride in that and itll make it that much more satisfying when u get a home of your own.
If everyone would maintain cleanliness, I swear the life quality of people would be improved immensely. Because it doesn't take a lot of time to do it.
This is so therapeutic. You said you didn't do this all in one day, can you share about how long it took? Would that estimate be different if you weren't filming? 😂
glad u enjoyed 😌 im not sure exactly since filming adds on extra time but i basically dedicated 2-4 hrs per project. the laundry area i completed all at once, as well as the sink, garbage disposal, and dishwasher, but the oven and microwave were done individually on seperate days.
@@abetweene thank you for this. cleaning can be so overwhelming but this breakdown helps 🙏
Please continue! I love the cleaning videos.
Will do!!
More pleaseeee🤤❤️This is the content I didn’t know I needed fr! You did that girl👏🏾
me when the adderall was pure
lol
i what to clean each room because we could not clean before moving in. can you help me do one room at a time?
Do you know there's linen sponges/dish cloths? I use walnut shelled ones for now. I have chainmail for my cast iron. I make disinfecting wipes from a doTERRA recipe (1/4 c rubbing alcohol, 1/2 cup white vinegar, 1 cup slightly boiled water, 5 drops each of lemon and lavender oils, plus paper towels).
i may need to invest in some chainmail 🤔 i get tired of scrubbing the unpolarized oil😩
i love these videos! they’re so relaxing
PSA about the microwave cleaning!! If the liquid is heated too long without being disturbed, it can “super heat” which means it will boil internally without any visual indicators. As soon as it’s disturbed by either dipping a rag in it or even moving the glass, the boiling will immediately rise to the surface and explode. That’s why you aren’t supposed to heat coffee (or anything really) for long periods without stirring inbetween. This is specifically a microwave issue, not necessarily oven or other heating appliance. PLEASE be careful!! So many people have been sent to the ER for this very reason.
Thanks for the warning! ⚠️
I love this…. I was not taught much about cleaning growing up… so this is lifesaving thank you❤❤❤❤❤
yw! ♥️
The fact that you assume people know this 🤣🤣 idk shEt
❤Please continue with a part 2! You cleaned things I would’ve never thought of.
Part 2 the same length video please 🥺
I think cleaning videos are becoming my new asmr 😊 I have a question though for things you used vinegar for could you use citric acid instead? Are they interchangeable or only for certain things you clean?
yes, they’re interchangeable 👍
Sooo can I have you as a tenant or a mom? Jesus I never learned about cleaning properly thank you for being a lifesaver
youre welcome dear
Unfortunately outside of my personal room space, this just isn't gonna happen when I live in a flatshare situation. No one cleans except me so I'll be damned if they can reap the rewards of my hard work.
understood. youre only responsible for you, so keeping your personal space clean is enough
i'm about to move into my new apartment at the end of this month, so i'm really glad i came across your video!
congrats! hope this helps
Could your screwdriver kit be any cuter?
FREKEN MANSTERSS Dies clowns mansters DESABERRRR
The previous tenants of my current apartment left this place immaculate. The only issue was that when they filled in the holes and painted them, it was the wrong shade of white and the landlord never repainted (that’s the landlord’s fault)
But I was surprised when I went to clean the oven’s vents and they were spotless. Same thing with the oven, bathtub, dishwasher, fridge, and cabinets. She wanted that security deposit back 😂
Lol, a blessing to you and her bank acct!
I've never felt more dirty and wanted less appliances in my life. I guess I'll be handwashing. The washing machine ... sigh. I want it but it's not beating the grossness of the dishwasher.
not a single lie. at this point, its like nevermind 😅
I just moved and my place needs HELP youre a life saver 🙏🏼🙏🏼
good luck! ♥️
Wow! Amazing job. Thanks for all the great tips!
thanks!
Yes Perfect because I’m getting ready to move! It’s a new build imma still clean tho aye 😊
congratulations!
I'm moving into a small house that had roaches and pet waste masked by toxic cleaners, and a fresh coating of paint to hide the filth. I want to throw all the essential oils and citric acid at it as much as I can. I'm not sure how to properly treat hardwood flooring. That's going to be interesting to clean my current house for the next tenant and the new one that needs a lot of TLC.
good luck with the move. it sounds like a lotta work but you also sound very prepared. i havent tried it yet but hear linseed soap is good on hardwood.
Sis, you did that....at this point the landlord should just give you back your deposit and pay you for your services.
tell em! 😅
Commission earned: I added all your recommendations to my list for the big deep clean. Wish me luck.
good luck!!
citric acid? I've never heard of this before, but i need some because it cleans wonderfully. When you cleaned that grungy dishwasher? Makes me happy I do not have one! Thanks for the education, because I had no idea some of those lids and and openings even existed. Have a great weekend, Ariane. 🧽💗
its naturally occuring in citrus fruits. couldnt recommend it more, youll love it. I was definitely questioning whether id even use that diswasher just so i dont have to clean it ever again, lol 😅 enjoy your weekend!
@@abetweene I enjoyed watching the oven cleaning, but I admit the dishwasher made me feel a bit sick. I guess I assumed a dishwasher would be clean lol. I will definitely add citric acid to my cleaning supplies. Thank you!
Ma'am, what is your source for background beats? I am in love with the one you used from 7:05 to 10:05 😩
I use Musicbed 💕
That’s is so crazy I would have thought the place was clean before. So scared to see my place 😮
mad crazy
Hoping to secure my first apartment on Monday!! Will keep this saved for then
good luck🤞
That much baking soda residue could mean there was a fire in that oven (so keep that in mind if the oven breaks it could be damage from the possible fire)
thanks for the heads up
Would you make a video on how you do laundry? We also use all natural products in our home and I haven’t found a good way of removing stains, and even your cleaning rags look new! ❤ Congrats on the new place
Will do!! and thank u 💕
Girl you need to talk to the apartment complex about all the hair in the dishwasher 🤢🤮
