7 EXPERT CLEANING TIPS YOU NEED TO BE USING: ruclips.net/video/-C-ic2H24OU/видео.html
Thank you for this video! Cleaned my washer today for the first time ever and I feel like such an adult. I moved into an apartment with a washer/dryer for the first time at the beginning of this year. It was due for a cleaning
I would love to have my floors cleaned everyday. Vacuumed and mopped. One of my most dreaded tasks.
there are irobot products (not necessarily that brand) that vacuum AND wash floors! my friend w 3 little kids and a dog says its amazing!!!
mopping is the worst thing to do
Just get iroomba😀
Bathroom cleaning. I want my bathroom to be spotless and clean that i could eat off the floor. 😂 no watermarks no smudges at all! Something about an extremely clean bathroom feels luxurious.. like a 5 star hotel stay. Cleaning the bathroom is so gross. But my mum said cleaning up 💩 it keeps people grounded.
👍👍😂😂 your mum must be related to mine 👍👍
I hate cleaning the toilet 🚽😫
Ha-haah
My mother was so clean you could literally eat off her kitchen floor! But she overdid it
@@vickyandersen8660 invite the woman above who wants her bathroom to look as clean as a five 🌟 🏨 hotel she would have a great time! My sisters bathroom looked like that!
I appreciate your helpful cleaning tips and the way you share that info: Your pleasant manner and easy to follow videos give me the help I need every time. Thank you
EVERYTHING!! 😂😂
I want to pay people to do everything: dusting, laundry, ironing, cleaning and changing the cat boxes, just everything! 😂
Exactly
@@zellelietta1553 ßszzs
Me toooooooooooo! 😁😉
If I live in ur state I would do it.. I just love ❤️ 🧼
Finally a cleaning video that's straight to the point and without nonsense talks! Thanks for very informative videos. God bless you and your business!
Perfect timing!! I had to look up old videos for my sister! Glad I can also send her this one!
I need someone to clean my bathroom! I hate that chore most of all.
Just put on gloves.
s ali Still, the smell, having to bend over the toilet/tub, getting your clothes dirty with bathroom juices, being hot if your bathroom gets hot or is a tight space
Bathroom. I absolutely agree.
Absolutely agree.
@@Lex161Lexi You described this to a T for me. If I hired a maid, it would literally be just to clean our bathrooms. The rest of the stuff, I got it.
There is a reason the washing machine manufacturers never advice the use of vinegar on gaskets and other rubber parts. Vinegar deteriorates rubber and depending frequency of usage, this happens sooner or later, guaranteed . The way to clean your machine's gasket, is perfectly described on the manual. Use the method described by the manufacturer, who knows better the materials used to build it. Same goes for the dish washing machines.All other tips are very well described.
Exactly
Vintage is only for cooking
Thank you for this, I just followed it step by step and paused each section which was great.
Hands down laundry. The one chore that stresses me out. Thanks for the helpful tips!
I am from India, a recent subscriber binge watching your videos. Love them. A lot of products and obviously the machines are different,but there are many take aways like cold water washing, cleaning the drum, not mixing BS & Vinegar. Thanks sincerely. Lots of love ❤
My boyfriend is my butler in this house. He just does the dishes thought lol he does the dishes and I do the laundry. We share all the other chores pretty much as needed
I've had my Maytag Neptune Front Loading washer for over 13 years now and I have never had a probem with mold or smells. Two things I do consistently - spray the inside and the door with my DIY disinfectant (CMS recipe) and leave the door wide open when I'm done. My manufacturer suggested that my last wash should be the hotest (i.e. whites), so if I have them I wash them last. My front loader has the traditional button area that resembles a top loader, so I need to do better about cleaning the dispensing area and the top.I've used your previous cleaning routine and will try this one out. I like the idea of cleaning my appliances (washing machine, dish washer) on the first day of Spring and Fall. My dream task - cleaning the gutters. Thanks for the video!
@Melissa Maker, I tried to clean my washing machine using your technique and I'm very satisfied with results. No odor, very clean! Fantastic and cheap solution. Thx!
I was looking for a process to clean my machine and then the next day you posted this video. Thank you !
Grooming my 4 huskies would be the one job I'd want done. It's a ton of work, but they're worth it!
Thank you for the tips, going to try that solution for my smelly washing machine!
Thanks for this tutorial! So helpful, as always.
Use vinegar as fabric softener an add /tea tree oil and lavender oil. This helps clothing come out fresh. Also, cleans washing machine, every wash.
Vinegar can seriously damage your heater element in a frontload washer. Particularly if the element is ceramic. The vinegar will corrode the ceramic coating.
i JUST saw this ad on facebook today! I thought it was weird, so thank you for clearing that up!
I keep my washing machine door open all the time and think it helps. I also try to run a 90 degree cycle on empty every few months. Thanks for the tips.
Me too! I run a 90 degree empty cycle 4-6 times a year and do more thorough cleaning once a year. This seems to work well for me. I do, however live alone (well, with 2 cats but I don't wash them in washing machine 😁), so I only do laundry 1-2 loads a week.
It's been pretty much a whole year since I last did a full cleaning to my washing machine, so today I'm going to do it with these advice from the video! 😊
Dusting is the one chore I would LOVE a butler to take from me. I absolutely HATE it.
Same here although changing the polish to Oceansaver drops has made it more bearable and it smells much nicer. But I'd generally rather clean the toilet as it's much quicker! (When I can finally move out, I'll make sure not to have loads of bits sat around just so I can make dusting quicker!)
I need a video on steps to clean a house when moving in 😉
I need one on steps to clean a rental when moving out.
She has one for her friend's condo.
@@wiltedflower03 I'll have to check that out. TY!
Muna Jedski have you already moved in? Our realtor had a professional maid service clean ours before we moved in. It was a new custom home & no dirt/mess from previous owners just needed a good wipe down & dusting!
@@ginamiller6754 Hi Gina! We have a closing on the 28th of this month. :)
A butler to clean and put away the dishes after every meal sounds like heaven to me!
Same here
My one task butler would be vacuuming every day!
buy a vaccuum robot!!
moping my kitchen
Yes! That would be amazing! 🙌
Me noooooooooo! 😉
btw, LG WASHERS FTW THAT JINGLE IS EVERTHINGG 😂😂😂😂😂
lol

Question - living in an apartment building there is a common laundry room and I clean the inside,soap tray and rubber ring each time with vinegar & tea tree. Do you think that I am wasting my time? (I don't) since the machines get used so often.
I would love to have someone clean my floors on regular basis!
Love your videos and wonderful tips🙃
I have been subscribed to this for two decades. This is only about the 4th one I was notified of. It never has gotten regular.
We have the same square soap dispensers!! I love them, they're so clean and sleek!
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with us, I think no one have explained it like you did it. From now on my machines are going to be sparkly clean!!!!!!
Laundry for sure! Thanks for the video! Going to tackle today.
Thank you for this great cleaning tip. I’m cleaning my washer right now. I’ve never used tee tree oil before so I’m sure it will be lovely and fresh. Only downside is I’ve just found out that the self clean program empties out after 5 minutes so all the solution went down the drain very quickly. I’ve selected another program on 70 degrees but it’s only just over an hour long. I hope it still cleans thoroughly. xxx
I use white vinegar and tea tree oil as a replacement for my fabric softener. This helps to keep the drum clean of build up and any moulds.
Clean my...Cleaning my kitties' litter boxes---we have 6 furbabies and 6 litter boxes!!
Same. We have four kitties and four huge boxes. I hate cleaning them but do it daily, sometimes 2 x day.
That's a lot of work! But there are never enough pets at a home 😍😍
Cleaning the kitchen and bathroom sinks. Thanks for the tips!
Folding and putting away clean laundry!!!! Every new year it is one of my intentions to practice putting my laundry away as soon as its out of the dryer but alas, it's still something I procrastinate every time. Strange because folding things super neatly and having all of my laundry put away is soooo satisfying to me but I just cannot bring myself to do it in a timely manner EVER!!
I do keep the door open on my washing machine but I never thought about the detergent tray. I will open it now between loads. Good video!
I just got a new machine from my apartments and it’s front load, so I’ve been trained by you for years. I leave my door open and take out the detergent tray so it’ll air dry. Thank you ❤❤❤
Much needed video. Thank you!
My washer is a very old, basic top loader. I didn't know you were supposed to clean it! I might try wiping down the inside with a DIY solution after watching this. Thanks!
Great video. Can never get over just how HUGE American washing machines are lol
I know right!
Hi Melissa, you are awesome and thank you so much for showing us the right way of cleaning everything ‘absolutely everything’! Can you make a video on how and where to store the cleaning tools especially dish sponges and steel wool scrubs everyday?
Please and thank you 🙏
Most imp - to rinse the sponges and scrubs thoroughky after dishes. Wring it hard and place it on a clean surface. It will dry in few hours. Leaving water soaked it will stay wet and breed microbes. If possible you can place it on window sill in sunlight. Sunlight kills germs.
Love this video. We just had to replace our washer and dryer. I was looking for things to upkeep the washer and make it last long as possible. With 8 people in the house its already gonna get a workout daily!!
Keeping the kitchen clean and neat!
Oh oh oh...so excited to see this! I love these. I clean so much more and better with your deep cleaning tips
Thanks for watching Karen!
Melissa, this couldn't have come at a time where for the past few weeks now dealing with a mildew smell. I have a top loader. I got all tea tree oil and everything so I'am going attack the washer tomorrow. Thanks as always 😊
Same here. This summer has been so hot and muggy and the mildew smell is noticeable. Going to clean the washer today!
Omg! I just LOVE your channel!!! Thank you soooo much!!!!
Much awaited video ❤️
Dishes hands down!!!! Those bad boys never end lol 😩😩😩
Wow ...thanks for sharing super informative information..thanks 😊
Hoover butler for me too, I find hoovering gets me more tired than any other task. Thanks for ur fab videos, very helpful tips xx
Cleaning the oven! It’s the absolute worst job. So awkward to get into.
I do it when it's still hot after baking and it's so much easier! Especially the door takes one minute to clean!
I agree so much!
theodora4 thanks for the tip! 😃
just climb inside it and it there
Just leave aluminum foil at the bottom
We have the same washer and dryer. Love your channel. Hope your keeping safe and healthy.
Thanks for watching Scarlet!
Clean My Space your so very welcome. Your home is so lovely. We watch on breaks in the ER. Putting some normal in the drama. Lol. And your little girl is just adorable. God bless!
Enjoying you cleaning tips & you’re easy to follow. Thank you Ma’am 🪅❤️👍
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you find the cleaning tips helpful.
What other essential oils could we use besides tea tree oil? Thanks so much for your tutorials!
Thanks Melissa. Great video. I’m a bit scared to use anything inside my washing machine. The manufacturer, said not to use anything, just run the hottest cycle. The repair man told me the same. I just use a damp microfibre cloth to wipe everything down. I hang clothes on the outside line. They smell fresh that way. I just use the dryer if it’s been raining a lot or to fluff up the towels when they’re still slightly damp. We only have 3 in the house but I wash every day. I think I’d choose either ironing or window cleaning for the butler. I don’t mind doing dishes, or even ironing sometimes but I just hate to face a full basket of ironing.
P..S. in the past I have used (in a less expensive machine so I wasn’t so scared) washing Soda crystals. Just completely dissolve them in hot water, pour it in the drum and run a cycle.
Mine would be washing my sofa cushions and getting them back on thank you for realy good video helpful x
Ooh that is such a toss up for me. I can't decide between someone doing all my floors or the bathrooms. I love having a clean floors and since we have a combo of carpet, wood and tile depending on the floor and room I think that would be so nice.
Thanks Melissa! Ive got a new front loader pair and this was very helpful!!
Thanks for watching Lindy!
Clean My Space I love your videos! Could you please do a how to get rid of mould on the rubber of a front loading washing machine? It would be extremely appreciated!!
Ooh I'm so gonna try the bicarb and vinegar in washer drum!!
I think I would have my housekeeper do the dishes.
Love this video! I have an old fashion top load washer but I will be trying these techniques. I don't know if I have a gasket or drummer. The think the drummer is at the top. But i definitely don't have a detergent tray. My current aptmt was unoccupied for 2yrs and the washer smells bad of mold. I'm quite sure the old tenants left the lid on the washer when they moved out. Hopefully these methods will work. I will keep you updated.
Love the new hair look ❣️
Literally i hate dependency,as I feel no one can do cleaning job as perfectly as we do,as they don't own it... so I do all cleaning job myself But at times I too feel lazy to do the chores, I just wish I am motivated and inspired all the time and stop being lazy,so I just need videos like this to get motivated. Keep going girl 🙂 thanx for the videos.
Plz do post how much detergent is needed for different loads too. Thanx
Thanks a lot for your video, It really helpful..
Dishes/kitchen absolutely!!
Thx for your video on Cleaning Washer. Easy & DIY! I’ll b using this way asap 😂
Came across this video and it’s very helpful…I can’t seem to get the smell out of my front load washer. Now I’m gonna try the vinegar…..ty….and I did subscribe
Thanks for the helpful advice. I also would never touch a dish again!!
Thanks so much for the great ideas about cleaning my washing machine. Although there’s only two of us, one member of our household is pretty messy. My imaginary butler would clean my bathroom for the rest of my life! Thanks
I think your video was so good I shared it on Facebook Facebook.
This is a really great video thanks
Thank you! And your mum, watched the other one too 😊
I would love to have someone clean all the baseboards in the house including the caulk line.
I’m doing laundry now 😂
Great tips love it! For me.. windows.... mostly the glasses windows and kitchen cooking area😚😚😚😚
There is a official name for it "stinky washing machine syndrome" after hearing about it years ago, I decided never to buy a front loading machine, not to say that top loading machines can't get smelly as well.
Agree, I'll never buy a front loading machine ever. I rather deal with difficulties of pulling clothes out of washer (I'm short) than stinky mildew build up or having to constantly clean a front loading machine.
Same here. I have no idea why people buy these front load washers. I think it’s just the cool thing to do now and the look of it. I have so many things to clean, I don’t need to add washing machine to my long list. No thanks front loaders. 👋🏻👎🏻
The butler can definitely do my dishes too! The bathroom is fine, I wouldn't say I loove cleaning it, but it's easy. Same with general tidying and vacuuming. But I love to cook, so it feels like the dishes are never actually FINISHED.
Vacuum my entire home daily! 🌟
새롭게 배우고 갑니다 thank you
great video thank you
Hello! I subscribed some time ago, but today is the first video I have watched. You are good! Thank you for informing me to NOT leave washed clothes in the machine...overnight! I do so occasionally but usually run the “rinse only” cycle in the morning. Foolish, I know. Uses more water/electricity and prolongs the laundry task. I’ve found “Iron Out” to be fantastic at making my dishwasher machine look/smell like new! Have you experimented with that product?
Laundry!!!! Or....would cooking count too? If cooking counts....I’d gladly hand that torch over!
Putting away the laundry. I don't mind to wash or dry, but it never seems to be folded/hung up and put away! My biggest struggle
I clean my wash machine every two days, I spray it down with that my own DIY Clorox solution and scrub it out with a toothbrush and a microfiber cloth and then I run it through a cycle with baking soda and vinegar and essential oil’s to three drops on the hottest temperature and then when it completes the cycle I wipe it out again and run a rinse cycle. I also wipe down the inside of my dryer with my DIY cleaner and leave the door open to dry and then I’ll wipe it out with a dry cloth to make sure there’s no residue of the liquid in the dryer. I also clean the lint filter on the dryer I wash it with hot water and then I spray it with my DIY cleaner and rinse it well and let it dry and return it to the dryer I’ve been doing this for all the years I’ve been married and that is 51 years it makes a big difference, And I am married to a decent mechanic so I had to keep my washer and dryer clean
u do this every TWO DAYS? HUH? are you OCD??
FYI mixing baking soda and vinegar leaves you with a useless salt mixture. They literally cancel each other out.
Also, this is so beyond unnecessary.
You know vinegar damages anything rubber
This is the largest washing machine I ever saw!!! It’s almost her size! North America supersize everything ☺️
Well here in UK my machine looks like a dinky toy next to her machine!! 😄 🤣
It's regular size, it's just on a riser drawer
If I had someone who just cleaned my floors and carpeting I would be so happy!
Mopping the floors. I really hate that job.
Me too, and it never looks like I've cleaned it!!! I'd rather clean the loo.
@@itsacarolbthing5221 Me, too. At least you have a sense of accomplishment when you walk out of a nice shiny bathroom.
Clean the bathroom after my husband uses it! He is the swamp man. Lol
Haha this made me laugh ☺️
I know this is an old video but I would love to have a cleaning butler to clean my baseboards 😁
My husband does the other things I hate...taking out garage, cleaning toilets and dumping the sink drainer🤮
Definitely Dishes.... we don't have a dish washer, and I can't stand doing dishes. Great video!! Thanks for the information.
We don’t have a dishwasher either 🙈 dishes are for sure the most time consuming!
Dishes - definitely dishes! That also includes cleaning the sink and disposal!
Thank you!
I have 4.5yo triplets so I do laundry daily! Linens get washed once a week along with general us towels. Kitchen towels get washed twice a week. I have recently switched to laundry pods because it’s much simpler to store and secure out of reach of children. I generally use vinegar in as fabric softener for linens and towels. I also always do an extra rinse cycle to ensure no soap or grime is left.
I normally do a washer clean cycle once a month, and vacuum out the dryer vent twice a year.
Great insights as usual 👏,do you have a post for cleaning external /traditional house bricks?
Excellent!👍👍👍 I learned.🤪 Thanks!
What are your thoughts on using a shower spray on the interior of a top-load washing machine? I have been applying a few sprays of Method’s Daily Shower Spray to my drum and allowing it to air dry. This is a supplement to my weekly cleaning. It doesn’t require a rinse, and it smells amazing!
The things I would have someone else clean for me are walls (which I'm working on the kitchen walls off and on slowly currently) and also doors and door facings.
Love your videos! Thx. Also, you are so pretty ❤️❤️
