Oh gosh Becky! You moved into your lovely home while pregnant, had a complicated delivery, then designed & started a brand new garden. Girl, you've been busy! Even Josh is on the bandwagon!! The house is receiving the love it needs as time has permitted! One thing I believe is your home is "Clean enough to be healthy, dirty enough to be happy!!"
Becky I so agree with this comment. Give yourself a pat on your back from me. ❤️❤️. You get to these projects when you get to them. Love your family and get to clean when time allows.
Becky, I appreciate you. You are a trooper. If you do this twice a year you're on point. Now can you can tell me the name of those reusable towels are and where to get them? Thank you.
I am a big fan of yours. It did my heart good seeing your kitchen. I always tell people you are pretty much perfect. Today you gave me hope. You do a lot so remember to give yourself grace
what a wonderful little adage!
My mom always had a plate in the kitchen that said that phrase "Clean enough to be healthy. Dirty enough to be happy. She was a nurse. She passed away on Thanksgiving last year. ❤
Its now official I will watch Becky do anything, if your next video was I'm watching paint dry I'd be like yeah paint drying today😂, your kitchen looks great 👍and don't feel bad about the ovens I think we all put off cleaning that until we absolutely have to
I agree! I'd watch her do anything! She is definitely the best part of my day!!
We watched the front door dry, remember?! Lol
LOL I’m beginning to feel that way too!
We literally watched her paint and the drying paint last Christmas time when she decided she had made a mistake on her paint choice. Yes, I even took notes during the paint/paint drying segments.
Im a professional cleaner. My tip for deep cleaning is start from the top down and from left to right. That way you never forget where you left off. Also for oven cleaning, spray your cleaner of choice, close and turn on at 200 degrees for 30 minutes -1hr. Everything will wipe right off while still warm. Great job on your methods. Just some ideas 💡
Thank you for letting us see this side of your life too. I always feel so judged by my “ugly needs an actual makeover kitchen”, and I adore your kitchen! So to see that even you have to deep clean it occasionally… thank you!
And you were pregnant when you moved in, have a baby & young family, you both work full time & so much more… give yourself some credit! You’re doing amazing!
❤
The oven doors can come off to make cleaning easier. There are clips at the bottom, they are part of the hinges.
Oh wow I didn’t know you could take them off.
@@Cookingwithapril yep! It makes it so much easier
Thank you for telling everyone about this. I thought everyone knew.
Be careful doing it though! If you aren't careful you can shatter the glass.
Just pull the door up. 😊
Family is first priority and a dirty kitchen isn’t going anywhere and it will be there the next day. Good for you Becky for knowing what’s really important.
My goal is to clean my oven twice a year. It doesn’t always happen. Lol! You inspire me, Becky, to challenge myself to go the extra mile. Josh and Baby Acre are truly blessed to have you. ❤
Bar Keepers Friend is an incredible cleaner! It also makes your pots & pans look like new too!
Love bar keepers.
Becky, your kitchen looks awesome after your deep cleaning. I feel the same way about my kitchen, too. Great job. Until next time……..
Bar keepers friend is awesome snd I use the liquid and the powder .
Hi Becky, I just wanted to let you know that the oven doors are removable, which helps to get a better angle in the oven.😊❤🎉
I’m so happy you mentioned this, so many people don’t know the oven doors are easily removed. I didn’t learn until I was in my fifties 😂
I was looking for this😊
Mine doesn't come off. I tried. It's one of those little 36" wide apartment sized stoves.
I was coming here to say this. Sooooo very helpful! I take mine off and sit it on the counter top to clean. Saves my back!!
Hi Becky just a tip cleaning your oven. The oven door can be removed, just lift the oven door up whilst it is open and then you don’t have lean on the door as this can cause the door to stretch. This way you can get right up into the oven. I clean mine every 3 months I spray and leave overnight. Hope this helps. Cheers from Australia ❤
Becky don't be embarrassed about having a dirty oven!!! The only people with a clean oven don't use/cook in it!!!
When I was first married, I learned, after going through what you did with your ovens, to keep my ovens clean so they weren't ever difficult to clean ever again. I used vinegar and baking soda. It works well. Great job, Becky! You got it done!😊
Must be clean oven time of the year. Did mine a couple days ago. I took my grates and soaked them in my bathtub with boiling water and 3 dishwasher pods. After about 3 hours, the grates were like new. Only light minimal scrubbing.
Thank you for the idea.
I clean my oven maybe once a year, so in my book, you’re right on schedule 😂
Wait are we suppose to clean our oven😭
@@07380738a 🤣Good one!
@@07380738a
😂 you gave me a giggle. ❤😊
Yup, I have designated the week before Thanksgiving as time to clean the oven. I just figure if I associate it with a holiday, I'll be more likely to remember, and I know it gets done at least once a year.
Funny how motivation enthuses me and others. Just you being you gifts us to become all of who we each are. Becky you are a blessing.
I do it before the major food holidays. My oven is self cleaning so if I am diligent it stays pretty clean. Pre Thanksgiving my sister and I deep clean her kitchen, polish all the silver restock baking supplies. 😮. You're amazing...this first year in your new home, you both should be extremely proud of all you've accomplished. Baby Acre number 1! 🩷🎄🎅🙏
Love this girl, does everything so well, the storage, the food and cooking and all that includes, a family, work, keeping the house clean but also keeping it real. ❤❤
I’m so grateful that my ovens have a self clean and do an exceptional job! I recently took my door completely apart because there was stuff in between the glass and it was so satisfying!
How did you get doors apart?
I think that you can un-screw them after lifting them up off of the hinges. Put the screws in a small bowl away from where you are cleaning. It's easy to knock the bowl over. Ask me h😮 I know that. It's hard to get screws out from their hiding places 😮!
I used self cleaning once and my husband went in to anaphylactic shock. Got him outside, turned everything off, opened every window, and haven’t cleaned an oven since. 😂 I was definitely traumatized. I guess I’ll tackle it now. New house, new oven!
@groovechick1 I have never had a problem with my oven cleaner setting. I have set on a timer to warm the house while I sleep. It is a KitchenAid oven
I used it once and the oven was locked for over a year until my father in law pried it open. I made an entire Thanksgiving dinner in a toaster oven! Ever debone a raw turkey? 😂
There's something satisfying about watching someone else clean. It helps boost me to tackle areas in my own cabin that need love and decluttering. God bless you Becky 😊
Exactly !😀
Becky , I’m sending a huge hug 🤗.
Girl you have done so much you moved home whilst making a baby, created a huge garden, produced a successful harvest. Preserved everything in sight, back anything that was left , cared for your beautiful family. 😳when could you have time to clean your oven 🥰.
My kitchen is the size of your Central work space, I can’t keep that clean and I don’t use it a quarter of the time you use yours.
You are amazing I’m looking forward to seeing the next few years and how your routine changes, I like the idea of a slower pace for you.
You worked so hard and the results are wonderful, I must admit when my kitchen is clean and I’m proud of it I leave a small light on …if it’s in darkness then it needs a clean 🤣.
Take care x
A cup of water with lemon zapped in microwave makes cleaning easier & smell nicer. I'm sure this will work in ovens as well (only bowl / pot not cup), depends on how you feel about it - basically a steam bath for the oven to soften crud. 😊
I have an electric oven. I find that while oven is still hot from cooking, I take a soapy and damp dish cloth and will wipe up the spills quickly and also wipe oven. Takes less scrubbing. Use pot holders to hold hot element while I wipe.
FYI for those who don't know microfiber clothes should never be washed with fabric softener and never go in the dryer, let them air dry. When you use fabric softener and put them in the dryer it takes away their properties of absorption and static that they need to dust and work at their best.
true - any towel you want for cleaning should not have fabric softener because it won't absorb the water! - I hate the way microfiber towels feel in my hands - prefer cotton.
I stopped using fabric softener know I used dryer balls cheaper . Biodegradable children and pet safe
Exactly true about fabric softener but electric/gas dying is totally fine for microfiber. I'm a professional cleaner and have used the same microfiber towels for years doing this and they absorb like day 1.
Don't use softener but wow had no idea about not drying them
I dry my microfiber in my dryer all the time. Works just fine. But yes, no fabric softener.
I like how you include your viewers in your cooking and cleaning and gardening, say, you and I. It makes me feel part of your adventures. I do send lots of time watching your videos and I enjoy them. I learn a lot.
My winter goals are to have 2 spinal surgeries (having one on the 6th of Dec and one after the 1st of the year) and fully recover before spring planting. This will be my 7th and 8th spinal surgeries and each one seems to take longer to heal. Thank you for being such an inspiration and distraction for me.
Today is the 8th- hope your first went well and wishing you a speedy recovery ❤
Hi Becky, I am not sure if anyone else has mentioned this but you need to fireproof your kitchen. You need at least one fire extinguisher, maybe two. Also, there is something called a fire blanket. Check into it. That way, if you were to have a fire, you would have it contained before it spreads. Believe me, kitchen fires can be devastating.
Yup! I have a little kitchen extinguisher next to the stove, and a fire blanket in the pantry. I've never had a fire, but I'm sure prepared!
Girlfriend, easy off is your friend for those ovens. You can use it just to spot clean to. No razor blades necessary. You can also go to a craft store buy some pretty scrap book pages to put on the inside of the drawers that have the windows in them and switch them out for the holidays to add some extra cheap festive touches to your kitchen. You can also laminate those same pages so they are super easy to clean and reuse.
I agree Easy-Off works great. However most people these days don’t want to have the fumes in their houses or their lungs. I tend to avoid cleaning my oven because of the fumes. I think I’ll try one of these other methods soon.
Another great idea is that window cling that you can put in your bathroom windows or whatever so people can’t see in. Then you can hide the contents of what’s in the hospital cubbies. It used to be a thing to decorate those little areas by filling them with beans or coffee beans, lentils, etc. etc.
Remnant rolls of wallpaper will work as drawer liners also.
@@cynthiafisher9907 fume free easy off works really well.
I'm always fascinated by how you are able to get all these videos posted for us to enjoy with a baby in the house! How do you pull that off? ❤
Great job!
Cleaning the oven is a real chore. I always lift my oven door off for easy reach into the oven. I'm short with short arms so that really helps me. I love watching you cook and how you make all those freezer meals. I always enjoyed cooking for my family but my kids are grown with kids that are grown and my husband passed away so I don't cook anymore. My girls said I deserve to have them cook for me because for years I cooked all our family holiday meals by myself. I can't tell you how much I appreciate that!
So happy to be a part of this group. I really love the happy thoughts, the great suggestions, and the love. Love catching your videos!!! Kitchen looks great!!
Another thing I do is vacuum the vents on the refrigerator both at the bottom and in the back plus any freezers
They collect dust and animal hair 😊
this will extend the life of your fridge.
I had to take off a plate at back of fridge to take of and clean with vaccuum.
Don't forget back of dryers
I always use a oven liner! Saves on time!
Hi Becky 👋🏻
My husband is building me a canning shelf this winter. I got an electric pressure canner last year, and we have run out of places to stash jars. I'm so excited to have a place to organize my beautiful jars and the room to preserve even more next year.
Girl! Thanks - I just got up and cleaned my oven vent! Never had done it before!
You are so welcome!
I section off my home into 12 zones ( #1 kitchen, #2 living room, #3 dining room…) and deep clean 1 zone a month including all drawers ,windows and screens. This makes it not so overwhelming.
@@marilynprietto1162Smart!
Loved this video! I do use my auto cleaning feature on my oven and I do it about every month to two months. I don’t cook as often as you do anymore. Your home looks lovely! I would love to see the finished room looking into the backyard. You mentioned you were getting furniture for it. I think that room is beautiful! ❤️
I vote for more cleaning videos. They are so satisfying and inspiring. Your kitchen and stove looked great!
Hi Becky- this winter I am in purge mode! Going thru linen closets and getting rid of worn sheets towels etc… goal 2 sheet sets per bed, 3 towel sets per bathroom! Also going thru every other closet and getting rid of anything I no longer use! Also getting my sunroom plants replanted and starting a herb garden indoors!
Our local animal shelter will take and put to good use old linens and towels. You might want to look into donating then. The animals will be thankful !
@@jodiehewitt4699
Great suggestion; probably why I have a over stock of linen and towels due to 4 dogs and a cat. I have been procrastinating for 6 years to go through all of the closets. I think a lot was grieving over to many family losses within a short time.
Perfect timing, my kitchen needs a deep clean! When the sun hits my stove and you see every little thing it's daunting!!
Hi Becky. Try using draw liners they are much easier to clean. It also preserves the wood of the drawers. Or you can try plastic bins/trays to put your items in the drawers. I totally agree with you…a clean kitchen to work in is GOLDEN! I mentally cannot use my kitchen if it’s messy, it’s too much of a distraction. Exactly, you can only do your best and your priorities are going to be diff than others. Never compare yourself to someone else every person’s situation is different.☺️ I even use handle covers on my refrigerator. I cannot stand fingerprints. Something as simple as a fingerprint can make something look dirty to me. Great video. Tfs. Enjoy the rest of your afternoon.🤗
i didnt know they sold fridge handles. I hang a clean towel on the bar and pull the towel to open the door to avoid the prints 😂
All my kitchen drawers and cuboards have liners. It is easier to clean them when they are lined.
I need handle covers where do you get them? Lol.
@@kimwatts6338 I got mine from Temu, less than $3.00. They work great. I just got some extra to decorate my kitchen for Christmas.😊
Your back yard looks so lovely! I am sure it brings you joy to sip coffee and stare out that window in the kitchen.
I am a messy baker so was thrilled to discover oven liners. Makes cleaning the oven go so much faster and saved me a lot of work when my sweet potatoes covered with marshmallows ballooned into an atomic blast in the oven. Black smoking tumors all over my liners. Cleanup was a breeze with those liners.
I’m always spelling things in the kitchen… well I spell things everywhere
You beat me to it. Since I've started using oven liners, I don't bother putting sheet pans underneath pies and such in case they spill over. Great invention. ~ Lisa
@@LB-vl3qn I'm almost 60 and never knew about oven liners til these comments. I'm so tired of cutting foil to fit the big and toaster ovens constantly and now I don't have to anymore! Thank you!!🤩
What oven liners do you use? I've tried a couple but they seem to smell bad when heated.
Oven trays do save a lot of work, but some stoves are designed not to use a tray, just use automatic stove cleaner button attached to stove
You did a great job of making your kitchen shine.❤
One thing many people forget is to clean the filters on the over the stove hood. They gum up pretty quickly.
After last load of dishes of the day place in dish washer and they come clean easily
I used vinager & water and they came looking like new
Yep, it took me two days to clean up my kitchen. I made a mess of it. Becky, you keep me motivated! I’m close to be 68 and I can get lazy real easy! You help me stay motivated! I also cook for my church every Sunday and I can make a mess in the kitchen! Well, cooking is your life, so it’s not like most homemakers you cook for your family and you cook for a living so it’s Norm that it would be dirty!😮
I love your food organisation : kitchen, pantry love it and freezer. I can’t tell you how much you have been motivating me to do things or simply staying sane at a quite stressful time of my life so thank you Becky. And that kitchen island and those drawers!!! A dream !
I'm so excited! I got the garden tower with your discount code. This has nothing to do with this video, but I always learn and grow from the content you share. I'm excited to watch this video and learn from you too!
Another thing I love that you've said a few times is something like let the machines work for you while you do other things.. ie load the laundry, dish washer, etc. before finishing up other things. Thanks so much for your joy and knowledge you share with us.
I am surprised that beautiful kitchen doesn’t have ovens with the ‘oven clean’ feature. A MUST if you ever update the kitchen, which I already think is beautiful. I love your very large island and all the drawers right where you need them. Hey, I have many areas in my home that need deep cleaning, but I seem to be running out of steam at 85. Love your channel.
I have the same wall ovens. Mine have the self cleaning function but I don’t use it. I have seen too many videos of ovens catching on fire during the cleaning cycle.
@@MrsSMH1998 Hmmn, never heard of that. I do use mine and love it, but empty nesters, so probably doesn’t get as bad as busy young families. I wish it would clean the racks.
She said that she doesn't use the self cleaning mode, bc at her last house she blew her oven/fuse
PS. If your fridge has a vent on the bottom tackle that as well. It should pop off and vacuum out under it. And I would put contact paper inside the cupboards and drawers. To protect them.
My mom and I love watching your content!! We have been watching since the beginning!! You and your whole family are amazing! ❤
Some of my winter goals are making ginger shots and my honey garlic ginger ferment! Love it!
A beautiful home..and ms becky you have you're priorities in order...cleaning is always there...family time IS SO IMPORTANT!!
Yes! Kitchens will always be there. I love your priorities and your work ethic!
I’m sure Hubby and Baby Acre treasure your presence when you’re able to spend time with time but I imagine they love the way you feed them, too!
Also! I want your kitchen!
Thanks so much! 😊
@@AcreHomesteadBecky, Bar Keeper’s Friend was designed for the stainless steel bar counters. I like it for my sinks, too!
If your oven racks are needing a clean, run about 3 inches of hot water in the tub. Add about a half cup of ammonia. Mix with gloved hand. Add a towel to the bottom of the tub to avoid scratches. Add the racks as many as you want as long as they stay submerged. Leave for several hours. Drain and use shower head to rinse. Place on a dry towel to dry. Hand dry if any food stuff remain.
@@dlsdyer9071And be careful of the fumes!
I'm so jealous of your pull out drawers and the huge deep drawers to put all your baking needs in one place. I hate dragging everything out of my pantry every time I want to bake. And digging under bottom cabinets for pots and glass pans. I love your kitchen. You have really organized it well.
Wow! It does feel so good to have a freshly cleaned kitchen. Thank you for sharing 🤗
I love your channel Becky! You are so motivating, and I literally have been getting so much done in my kitchen while I watch your videos. 😀
Great job, it's inspiring me to do my oven now that I've been neglecting....
Hi. Woke up to your notification 😊. Since I cook so much, I clean the oven every time. I have the time because I don't have kids at home, and like you, I love being in my kitchen . Have an awesome day. Thank you for all the joy you bring to us.❤
I love how organized you are, Becky. I am inspired to declutter my kitchen and my home. I usually clean my oven in fall and spring. I don't tend to cook often since it is just myself. And I really need to take a look at kitchen items I don't use and donate them. Perhaps you could do a video of good organizational practice sometime?. I think it would be greatly received and appreciated. Thank you again for sharing with us.
I wish i had a maid to clean my whole house top to bottom just one time😂
You should grow the squash that makes loofah next year and make your own cleaning sponges. I saw this on Bre Ellis channel.
Happy Birthday! 🥳 Was thinking the other day it was about that time. It’s been such an eventful and productive year for y’all! 🧁
Just watching you I’m out of breath but at the same time it’s soothing and how thorough you are cleaning and organized, I’m older and can’t tackle those things like I use too, it takes me in increments too deep clean like 3 days, it took me a week to organize my closets in get rid of stuff no longer useful or never going to wear, the kitchen is also my haven, my calm and I love to cook n bake, I’m learning from you and I’ve been around the block 70 times lol, it’s never to late to learn something new from each other, how I wish I had your strength n stamina. Your also very wonderful and down to earth ❤
Hey Becky. I put shelving paper in my drawer it makes clean up easier. And please wash your containers out every time you put new stuff in them. Flour and sugar grow germs fast. Happy Holidays Fam. ❤
Another item I tend to put off is my washer and dryer
Cleaning the rubber parts in the washer the dispenser cups and I do a monthly vinegar and baking soda empty wash in the washer
Also pulling them out and sweeping and dusting behind them especially the dryer vent 😊
How much soda and vinegar do you add to washer?
Hi Becky I know you’re not sharing baby acre on RUclips…but I’d love to hear an update on how he’s doing and how you get it all done.
He is great! We are in love with our little family :)
@@AcreHomesteadso glad that you dont exploit your child❤❤❤
So happy for all of you…
Oh my stars! He'll be a year old soon. Wow where did the time go?
Hi Becky... something that I found out about growing up (bc my dad was ever so handy) was the dishwasher filter. If your dishes aren't getting good and clean, twist the little round basket in the bottom of the DW and pull out the filter basket. Just rinse under hot water and reinsert it back in the DW. I check mine every other month.
When I moved into my house this year I cleaned my dishwasher but I still had little specks that ended up on the dishes and inside the glasses/cups. I took the bottom off the DW and found a 3" chunk of broken glass down there along with a lot of crud. That got scrubbed and reattached. Still had little flecks of ick on the dishes. I cleaned out the little holes and used canned air to blow out yuck in the water fan blades. I finally have clean dishes - usually. I am looking forward to buying new appliances next year to begin with everything completely cleaned and nothing weird coming out of crevices.
@lindabirkes-lance8915 That's so good you checked thoroughly. Wow! Broken glass? Glad you found that!
What a satisfying job Becky! This winter I am turning one of our guest rooms into a room for plants, crafts, games, and puzzles. The room faces south and is bright and sunny. So far I have removed the bed and bought a lovely round table on Facebook marketplace with 4 chairs. Sometime I will refinish it to a stain that I like better but for now it’s perfect. I have been searching Etsy for tree prints. And I would like to put curtains up. It’s my winter project! 😊
I usually try to clean mine once a year but that doesn't always happen. My 6 grown children got me a wonderful double oven for Christmas last year (my old oven was over 30 years old). I just propped up my phone on the counter and cleaned my oven with you. Thanks for the motivation.
The fact that I thoroughly enjoyed watching you clean your kitchen is amazing! Now I’m totally motivated to tackle mine. Thank you for being transparent and reminding me that us moms are all just doing our best. ❤
Wow. You are amazing. Every winter, I go through my house, room by room, and declutter, clean each room completely and move on. When decluttering, I look at each item and decide 'to stay or go'. My rule is that if I have not used or needed any item for the past one or two years, it goes. The only exception to this rule is those special items that we keep because. It is a box or two of loving memories, that I will never give up. My husband has one or two of those boxes also. They have a special place where they are tucked away. I clean the outside of the boxes, around and below them, and sometimes I take a moment to look through the items, then tuck them back away. But like you, my first chore is always the kitchen. I have what I consider to be 'heavy' rooms and 'light' rooms. Heavy rooms are kitchen, laundry, mudroom and yes, the garage. Light rooms are bathrooms, bedrooms and living room. When I clean, I do a heavy room, then two light rooms, and I repeat that pattern until finished. I only work on this pattern of one heavy and two light rooms a week. When finished, I take a break till the next week. That way I can spread it out over 7 days and get some rest also. This works for me. When I am finished, I take all the items I have culled from my home and donate them to my local senior center. Twice a year they have a massive junk sale that they host with the donated items, and the funds goes to the senior center. As I am now a senior also, I understand the need for senior help. So, this way I am helping out other seniors 👵 and myself also. 🧓 Keep it up Becky. You inspire me.
My winter plan for this year is to make seed tape! I am planning 2 raised beds for medicinal plants, and many of the seeds for my future beds are very tiny. I work 2 jobs, so I don't have a lot of time to do anything outside of work, but I am going to make a point of making my seed tape this winter!
My husband and son will be out of town to a Lego Convention all day Saturday and you may have just motivated me to do a deep clean of my kitchen while it's just me left to my own devices all day!!! Also love the 'working kitchen' idea! It has always stressed me out to have actual people living here who might leave a dish in the sink after the dinner clean up or if the kitchen isn't perfect going to bed... this philosophy speaks to me!!
Becky I would line the base of your deep drawers with a wipeable liner . It’s so quick to give a quick wipe over more regularly . Great overall cleaning job x
I buy the cotton diapers and use those in the kitchen. They are gauzy enough I can use them as strainers, flour them slightly and use them as a pastry cloth to roll out noodles and bread and use them for cleaning and drying dishes etc. they wash up great in hot water. I learned to use these from my grandmother.
Wow! What a great day you had cleaning! I can honestly say that I haven't cleaned my oven since we have been here so am very behind. I need to do lots of organizing in the kitchen too, but that will have to wait until after I have back surgery and recover from it. thanks for the inspiration - I really enjoy your videos - it keeps me inspired while I'm unable to do the things I'd like to do. Thank you!!
My husband and I are planning to declutter and deep clean and then upgrade 1 room at a time. We have ALL hand me down furniture and everything but we’re finally in a place where we can work on it slowly. We’re very excited to purge all the extra junk we’ve been holding on to because we haven’t been able to buy a lot of our own things. Planning this spring on buying our first brand new couch! I’m so excited!
Yay for you!😊
A suggestion…you might want to pull out your stove and clean the sides of the stove and the sides cabinets and clean underneath as well. You will usually find grease dripped down the sides and straight vinegar will clean that up in a hurry. Because you have dogs, I would also recommend pulling out and cleaning under the fridge. You can use a can of compressed air to clean the coils. While you’re at it, you could go ahead and do the same with the washer and dryer. I try to clean under my appliances every 3 to 4 months, just because I have animals.
I wish my kitchen was that clean. Your’s looks very clean and wonderful. ❤
For the winter ideally I like to get a few sewing projects done
For dishes, you don’t need to rinse before putting away! As long as the majority of food is gone the dishwasher can get rid of all of that, it works better if u don’t pre rinse!
How does it work better?
Don’t beat yourself up over what you haven’t done. What you have done is marvellous. These past eighteen months have seen a house move, a new baby (after a traumatic delivery) Well done to you - from Australia
I so loved this cleaning video, it gave me the motivation to tackle my kitchen. Thank you Becky for all you do❤❤❤
Thanks for the inspiration lady! Great reset! Inspired me to get up and do some dishes.(I've been fighting a headache for three days and haven't been getting much done)
Hello Becky and friends. Hope everyone is doing well ❤
I love the space you have in your kitchen❤
the thing i love about my oven besides the fact it is gas is it has a clean setting -- so when it is done all i have to do is wipe it out-- i truly wish i had just 1/2 of your energy --love all you do!!!
I have cleaned my greenhouse and ready for spring seed starting. My garage is also on my list to organize and clean.
Ah oh, I guess I’ll be cleaning my oven now. 🥴 thanks for the motivation.
I'm with you, I'd rather get the dirty work done, then clean up for the day. I usually don't feel fresh as a daisy after cleaning or laundry, or cooking, canning, whatever. Glad to see you in your sweats, messy bun, no makeup. Feels like visiting with an old friend, the kind you don't put on lipstick for.
I'm going to organize almost every closet and cupboard in my house. I started today with you in my kitchen, thanks Becky! 😊😊😊
My Daughter told me to follow my Joy! You are my Joy.! You are what I want to be and started preserving and freezer meals since I lost my job. You are a Well of Information and then you bring your Mom and Dad in and I feel so much Joy because of the love I had for my Parents. I miss those times.
Our Son put in planters so I can garden since I showed him how much I love your videos.
You are so Beautiful, Becky! I love watching you and have developed a love for your Family( Mom, Dad, Sisters, even though I had none and Brothers)
May God bless you Forever and look forward to seeing more knowledge from you in the future. We can learn together. ❤❤❤
Most nights my kitchen is like a bomb site, however being an early riser I've plenty of energy to get stuck in at 6am. ❤❤❤
You need self cleaning ovens. They're the best. All you have to do is wipe them down with a damp cloth after they self clean.
I would love to have your island. Having all your baking supplies organized like this would be heaven! I just did a clean out of my spice cabinet, upstairs pantry, and refrigerator before Thanksgiving. I need to do the cabinet under the sink next and then just do a general clean out and get rid of some of my other cabinets too
I plan (hope to complete before spring) to clean out, organize and paint my pantry. Wish me luck.😊
So cute how the dogs had to inspect the dishes. Maybe they were hoping for some leftovers or just wanted to be included in the tasks ❤
This is the first time I realized there were two dogs, not just one! 😁
@@lysem4392they look so much alike, it's easy to miss!
Our red wiener dog Tater helps “pre-rinse/load” the dishwasher too! 🐾🐾🐶
Can i as a a non cooking question? You have beautiful hair fo u ever wear it down
@@user-sz8td3zm7kDogs so badly want to help! They will also kindly clean up any food spilled on the floor. 😁
I always used the self clean on my oven until recently, I was told that they get so hot that it causes the computer boards in them to go out, so I’ve been doing it the old way, like you just did 🥰 your an inspiration, thank you
I've made sure to purchase an oven with a steam cleaning cycle! It loosens up the junk without putting the electronics at risk ❤️
I love your home I never had a house like yours, it’s awesome Becky and you’re young enough to enjoy it!! Bless your family and home!!❤😊
Oh my goodness! The kitchen looks fantastic! I clean my oven every 4 months , but I have to say it’s not my favorite thing to do. I’ve been doing the quarterly purge in my kitchen and gotten rid of a lot of things I just don’t use and donate them , so someone else can make use of them. It’s really freeing. Thanks for taking us along on a cleaning day. It was fun😊
Hi Becky. You do see that your ovens have a clean cycle. Utilizing these functions will definitely save you a lot time and elbow grease😊
These clean functions are extremely dangerous if you don’t have the exact directions or if you have any food burnt on the oven can catch fire.
She explains in the video why she doesn’t like the self cleaning feature.
I don't know if everyone does this but I have a mini vacuum cleaner just for my oven. I vacuumed all the big pieces out first and then I put product
Great idea!
Thanks 😊
I enjoyed this so much and scrubbed my little kitchen right along with you. Thank you!!
Thanks for the motivation Becky. I'm starting my deep cleaning for December.
