5 THINGS YOU SHOULD BE CLEANING (But Probably Aren't!)

[@cleanmyspace]

CMS POLL: Do you LOVE or HATE vacuuming?

[@msraine9241]

Love it!! Must see the lines!

[@mmmstitch]

Hate. Detest. Dislike. Strongly strongly do not like at all. Least favorite task of all.

[@amyj8810]

Floors in general are my least favorite chore, but I love the results.

[@reneemerling2958]

Dislike. But luvv it after.

[@julienolan5695]

Clean My Space I love vacuuming!!

[@Desijersey]

I have never seen anybody so soothing as you... You sounds like a sweet doctor ...Who removes junk from my mind as well as from my home

[@cleanmyspace]

Why thank you Fazeela!

[@liz102676aa]

My mother had the best advice for vacuuming; never vacuum without a beer in your other hand. It works for me!

[@kimmerrou]

I like vacuuming, to me it's one of those quick cleaning jobs that shows the results. I LOVE CARPET MARKS! 😍

[@themindfulstrings]

same!

[@cafouyette2376]

I do too ! :-)

[@CATRYNA49]

Yup, same here.

[@OliverHatched]

I despise vacuuming as well. I recently picked up a charging lightweight Dyson, and life is so much easier with this thing. Seriously worth the cost.

[@jenniferodonnell6815]

Sarah Acree I got one of those at Christmas. AMAZING! best purchase ever!!

[@Lvmykidos2]

I made my hubby buy me a Roomba for Christmas ‘16. She runs 6 days a week. I hardly ever push a vacuum anymore.

[@figolivescheese]

I use the new Dyson 💗 and Roomba (awesome in homes with hard surface floors).

[@lionamax]

I don't mind vaccuming, but I absolutely hate washing the dishes!

[@lifestyleonthecheap6119]

Second least favorite thing to clean.

[@deirdrewells3395]

As a mother of four children, I came to love vacuum time for it's white noise greatness. My children could be speaking to me and I just smiled and continued vacuuming - sometimes several times a day!!!

[@StyleMySweets]

I love to vacuum! The space just feels so much better to me after. I don't clean out my purse often enough, but I did recently and it's so true, because especially with little kids, stuff just collects in there. Whenever we're out, random papers, wrappers, kids toys, everything, gets thrown into my purse. Great reminder!!!

[@Irene-gq4jr]

Before I even watch this I have to say... I tried the squeegee trick on pet hair and it has eradicated the hairy surfaces in my home. Thank you so much for this. As for hydrogen peroxide and bicarb on grout... I was disgusted at how bad I'd let it get (it was orange) and now it looks... very clean. No trace of my slovenliness. Thank you!

[@meetemmy6250]

Congrats on the baby

[@cleanmyspace]

Thank you Emmy!

[@chantellwebb72]

Did you have the baby?

[@mystinabelladonna8920]

You havr helped this 41 year old grandma in so many ways. I have been able to clean ALL NATURAL THANK YOU! CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW BUNDLE OF JOY!!!

[@Vireochan]

I recently got a Dyson cordless vacuum, similar to yours. I love this thing. It is pretty quiet, easy to store (no cable to wrap), and came with a lot of great attachments. My husband and I now vacuum regularly just for the "fun" of it.

[@nadyavolkoff629]

To be honest I actually LOVE vacuuming!!! And your videos!

[@theshewolfe]

Congratulations on your bundle of joy! I have a German Shepherd dog... who is now asleep On My Couch! Naturally, I have to vacuum A LOT and I have invested in the most powerful vacuum on the planet... the electrolux. I listen to audio books while I vacuum... Right now I'm listening to the Outlander series. Yours is my go to spot for leaning advice.... Thanks 😄

[@rosemarydavis5174]

Just cleaned my vacuum today! I drop my long hair everywhere... Hate having to clean roller brush but it's got to be done! We just welcomed a new baby in our family, my first great granddaughter Atarah was born Feb. 25th. Blessings to your family.

[@mjrox317]

Going to my brother-in-law's wedding in a couple weeks, then staying an extra week to vacation. Colorado Springs, CO is absolutely beautiful! We'll be taking a dinner train ride through a beautiful gorge for my birthday. Woohoo!

[@funnybookworm09]

Girl, I’m with you. I loathe vacuuming. PS. I love my Maker’s cloths but I only use them if they won’t get dirty or (gasp) stained (ie. dusting). I am such a dork.

[@gpworx]

Vacuuming is my favourite chore! Does all the work for you and all you need to do is steer it! It’s so satisfying to see the clean carpet lines too!

[@snowleopard4890]

Thanks for the video! I already do most of these things... except for the microwave. Instead of throwing out freshly squeezed halves of a lemon each morning, I use them to clean the microwave occasionally, as per one of your older videos. One half is in a bowl of water, while the other half is laying face down next to the bowl. Works wonders! This is definitely easier, though, so I'll share this with my boyfriend so he knows how to clean up after Himself a lot easier :) Life is full of lessons, after all, and I'm sure he'll enjoy a simple cleaning solution... although I know he'll use a dish cloth instead of a microfiber one. Haha

[@PoulinElectriqueIncLaPrairie]

Love vacuuming!! Can't put it down. If I have a spot to vacuum, I'll end up doing the whole room:)

[@NaturesFairy]

Congrats. I use to not like vacuuming but then a year ago I got a cordless dyson. Love it 😀

[@itsacarolbthing5221]

Feeling smug; I do all of these! ! Vacuuming? I have two very fluffy kittens, so I vacuum daily, but I have the Dyson handheld, so I find it enjoyable. The job I detest? Mopping the kitchen floor. Never looks any different!

[@estherpowell2372]

Love vacuuming ! It's kind of like making the bed, it just makes the whole room look better.

[@ready2cworld997]

I actually love vacuuming....but I hate my current vacuum bc it doesnt pick up enough so I am saving for a dyson cordless! I must run over the cord 10 times for one carpet! I vacuum instead of sweep bc I feel I get more stuff up. VACA!! YES!!! I am so with you! In fact we are putting our deposit down soon for 2 weeks in beautiful Moosehead Lake Maine!

[@robinellison6708]

Congratulations on the baby! My cousin used to dump her pocket book out on the table and sort it out. Great idea on how to clean it! I like to vacuum. Dr.s have told me when you sweep floors, the dust flys in the air, into your lungs.

[@olmecreflections]

Thanks for this video! As a floor cleaning/restoration company, we especially liked the beater bar tip!

[@shrekikiki]

Melissa, talking about multitasking. I also clean microwave with water with vinegar, but I also drop in that water dish sponges and dish towel , that way i clean them too.

[@amandakerr1607]

Hi Melissa! I agree that a clean purse can completely change your day. I purchased an expensive genuine leather purse last season and managed to get something on it. I’ve tried to find a solution to cleanse it but most online advice makes me nervous. Any advice is greatly appreciated!!

[@erikellis1418]

Melissa, would you at some point address cleaning and sanitizing combs and hair brushes? I'm especially interested in cleaning nylon bristle hair brushes that get a white build-up on each bristle over time. Thanks much for all the great coaching! And congratulations to my favorite Canadian couple on the new addition to the family!

[@linda8485]

LOVE vacuuming!! I have four different amazing vacuums because I love it so!! As a cleaning task it's easy, not gross, I don't get sweaty, hands don't get wet and it's kind of relaxing.

[@Linda-wn9ul]

I appreciate vacuum cleaners. Growing up we would have times when we had to use a broom and dustpan on carpeted floors. Vacuums are so much easier to use and you don't strain muscles you never knew you had using a broom and dustpan. Try cleaning some time with a broom and dustpan only, you will come to appreciate the vacuum cleaner.

[@Braedenfish]

I'm with you Linda....I do housework with a grateful heart.....my great grandma had to sweep a dirt floor down to "packed n solid" ..... clean the outhouse whilst avoiding snakes....n pump water from a well for dishes...must say we have it pretty good.... Only chore that bugs me is cleaning up doggie accidents. 👎All others I remind myself how much harder it was in 1920....and I'm good!!!

[@ellejae8324]

Please help me..... I have always been a lazy person when it comes to cleaning, even as a child I hated it. I'd straighten but never deep clean. I've lived in my house for 13 years so you can imagine what I'm dealing with. You guys have motivated and inspired me to get my act together. I have 2 things I need help with: 1) a blob of black on my entry way tiles. Most likely gum but pretty much cement at this point. 2) my son just left for the Navy and his toilet is beyond disgusting. I don't know how many years since it's been cleaned, literally. The gunk is so caked up and hard at this point I don't have enough arm strength even with a pumic stone. I would really appreciate any suggestions you might have. Absolutely love your tips, your personalities and your relationship. Congrats on a beautiful Riley baby!! She's a lucky gal to have parents like you!

[@suesellers7970]

I am for vacuuming. I use a seam ripper to get the hair, strings etc out of and off the beater bars. Congrats on the new baby!

[@TinaRice4]

Sue Sellers Great idea! I use scissors but like your idea better!

[@wyntrskyy]

I use one of those rectangular letter openers, it works amazingly well

[@TinaRice4]

stephanie halliwell Oh I had not thought of that! Great idea!

[@marys9774]

Congratulations on your little one!! I'm looking forward to seeing videos on cleaning up after your kid. You best believe it gets dirty with kids around. I like to vacuum ... but hate to mop 😒. Need to convince myself that mopping is great ... 😉😉. By the way, how often should we be mopping the floor?

[@AJ-ls4jh]

Melissa! I have that vacuum and the easiest way to clean the beater bar is by using a coin on the side to unlock the bottom and that cylinder just pulls out. So easy to clean!

[@jennygreen3006]

Vacuuming is my favorite cleaning job!

[@jdarling89]

Wow! Congratulations on the new baby!👶

[@TheOnlyHonor]

Well out of these 5 things , all I have to clean is - my pillows, kettle, vacuum and microwave. As I dont have a purse! 4/5 ain't bad! Great video guys! :-)

[@sadieolsen331]

I love vacuuming! I find it so satisfying!

[@fay2223]

I LOVE vacuuming! It was the only chore my mum would make me do when I was a kid and I continue to love it. When my kids were babies I'd vacuum 2-3 times a day!!! It seems to relaxes me, lol. It's by far my favourite chore.

[@brittanyK214]

Only have a handheld vacuum and a Roomba. I despise vacuuming so this makes it a lot easier!

[@tracywaring5594]

Love vacuuming, honestly it's my favourite cleaning task xx

[@cassandra_____]

For vacuuming 😁 so satisfying seeing the vacuum lines 👍🏻

[@CRDCairnChronicles]

I LOVE to vacuum!!! Congrats on your sweet baby girl....she is precious!!

[@r.mercado9737]

WOW! You are some kind of lady! Truly a blessing, indeed. Thank you so much for your vids. I thoroughly enjoy them. I am looking forward to more. Semper Fi

[@achobbs006]

I looooove vacuuming! I was so excited when I bought my first vacuum as an adult lol! Dishes is the chore I loathe

[@sweeney00todd]

Re; pillows - I clean a house that has dogs therefore dog fur and smells, I put the unwashable pillows in the dryer with a dryer sheet on air dry for 20 minutes and it helps a lot!

[@hollyjj3743]

Love your videos! Congratulations on your bundle of joy!💞💞💗💗

[@susaneshraghi7124]

Holly jj iî

[@judriki5516]

I used to hate vacuuming, until I bought my Dyson Animal Pro vacuum. So easy now! And a thank you to you is in order, becauseI didn’t know about it before your videos!

[@edayuseliza]

Since getting the dyson v8 im all for vacuuming 😄 LOVE it.

[@beverleybuchanan1600]

I used to hate it but since I picked up a gear little cordless vacuum I'm loving it!

[@monalisasingh2331]

I believe that it's more important to cleanse your purses and bags of germs rather than organising them. We put these bags everywhere from floors to public washroom counters, and it can get pretty gross tbh. That's why I only use one purse for a week, before cleaning it out and changing it, and have a specific place in my home to keep that bag I take out. To clean a regular bag, I take a soft towel and dip it in some warm water, gentle detergent, and an antiseptic liquid, and give the bag a good wipe inside out and keep it to dry. For an expensive bag, I user a baby wipe or facial wipe, with some Sanitizer and again give the bag a good wipe inside out. If you feel like the wet wipes are too wet for your expensive purse, just blot it quickly with a good kitchen towel. Also, I always clean the stuff inside my bag as well, with the same towel or wipe, before placing them again in my clean bag.

[@manonreisdorff3411]

Hi Clean My Space team, Congratulation on your baby first. Then I have a question. I once cleaned my kettle with vinegar and them made it boil like you said in your video. But afterwards the smell was so aweful that we didn't want to use it for a while with my roommate. We had to make water boil 20 times before the smell got away. My question is : What do you do to get the smell away ? Because know I clean it with vinegar but I dont make it boil. But it's not as effectif. Thank you very much

[@cSsm65]

I am for vacuuming. It looks amazing when finished!

[@sarahfreeland23]

I hate loud sounds like a vacuum, so I use noise canceling ear muffs when I use it. I also use them for my blender, food processor, mower,...anything like that.

[@Sara-jc4xw]

Sarah Freeland same! The leaf blower drives me insane!

[@swedish_granny3153]

Same here and I feel for you. Loud noises can be so painful. Look up hyperacusia.

[@storytime1469]

That's smart! I might start doing it. (My partner will be so happy if I stop dumping this chore off on him)

[@sarahfreeland23]

This trick also works great when you have a screaming baby to deal with. Takes a lot of the stress away when you’re sleep deprived and agitated.

[@funnybookworm09]

I do too

[@jconroylink]

I hate vacuuming! However, I like clean floors and rugs. I use a Bissell 3 in 1 for crumbs and stuff that drop on the kitchen floor but my husband was in charge of the vacuuming. It was not as often as I'd like but he did it. Then I bought a rug cleaning machine and when he tested it out he really liked it. Now he not only vacuums but cleans the rugs. Of course, he makes a big production of it and needs praise and back pats for his "effort" but I get to enjoy clean rugs.

[@jenniferpayne2381]

Another great video! :) I paused it and cleaned out the kettle straight away = win! The throw cushions are making eyes at me now though too...

[@sandradugan7513]

I love hot water with a twist of lemon 🍋! And now I'm obsessed with your videos!! Thanks?!!

[@kimharrison8816]

My husband, a plumber, told me never to put scolding hot water down the drain, but to run cold water as you do drain it.

[@TinaRice4]

kim harrison I do that too when draining pasta. As I drain the hot water I have the cold water running at the same time!

[@kimharrison8816]

or it will ruin the garbage disposal

[@kimharrison8816]

yes

[@jenntruong6023]

Good tip on not drying the pillow covers; Didn't think that they might shrink! I don't put trash or junk in my purse and I clean it out after every use. I thought everyone did that especially if you are changing out your purse often enough. I hate vaccumimg too; I have my husband do it, lol!

[@lifestyleonthecheap6119]

Do you have a video on how often to clean big appliances like behind ovens and fridges? And vents? What about walls? Dishwashers? Inquiring minds want to know! Thank you! And congratulations on the new house!

[@lllita]

I love vacuuming! I use a Johnson Probe to clean my vacuum brush. It only takes about 30 seconds and it gets it totally clean, hair free. I also use it to get hair out of my shower drain. It's the best tool ever!

[@hasamod41]

what is a Johnson Probe?

[@lllita]

Sara Modes they are at Johnsonprobe.ca it's a stainless steel tool with a hook at the end. It has so many amazing uses.

[@marissasaintluc3582]

Thank you for doing all these videos I binge watch you frequently I just moved to a much larger home and your videos have helped me tremendously 😘😘😘 and congratulations on the beautiful baby!

[@ushabaliga]

Big fan of vacuuming !!!!, bought a dyson this month

[@jengus1951]

Love to vacuum!!! The carpet looks so nice afterwards.

[@STmgmt]

For Dyson vacuums (especially older ones), it’s a good idea to remove the metal bar that rotates your beater bar and remove debris, hair, etc., that collects. Will keep your vacuum working great.

[@suztro]

I really like vacuuming. My hatred is saved for ironing.

[@JMJMJ1]

suztro I hate cleaning windows 😳

[@annewerther8831]

I only hate doing the dishes

[@lashonnabahr889]

I love vacuuming! It's a good stress reliever for me!

[@MalinaCC]

In the past, I didn't really enjoy vacuuming because it required lugging around a huge clunky machine. But I invested in a Dyson vacuum, and now vacuuming is my favorite thing! Sweeping is my least favorite cleaning activity.

[@jensheehan820]

Congrats on your baby girl!! 😍

[@Victoria-vw8hz]

CLEANING TIP FOR DYSON VACUUM. on every dyson vacuum head there is a slot on the one side for a coin, turn it and you can take out the whole brush bar which means you can also clean the plastic window part, theres also one on the bottom to open the head more. makes your dyson look brand new again.

[@melissac.5948]

I learned from two expensive plumber visits that boiling water (or vinegar) should not be poured down the sink. My plumber, after not finding any leaks (again), said that boiling water can cause temporary or even permanent leaks in the pipes below the sink. He still charged me, of course.

[@andreak.5739]

Melissa C. Hi, so when you cook Spaghetti, where should i poure the water 😬?

[@Jewels_and_Gems]

Sounds like BS to me

[@ilrimpianto]

Hi Melissa. I absolutely love vacuuming!

[@scrunchymommabear5877]

I'm yay for vacuuming... I'm starting to really really hate dusting though... my hubby hates it and never does/ did it because of it and it's up to me and after 10 years I'm over it haha... but thanks for the video I needed that reminder about the vacuum!

[@oliviatreip2613]

I enjoy vacuuming - it's a form of exercise and any form of exercise is good for you, imo....

[@MC-po4fi]

Thank you, Melissa 🤗 Btw., I loved your hair style on this video.

[@queen4eva169]

Congrats on your bundle of joy!! Love your videos do you think you could do a video on steam cleaning your home and how to clean a non cleaning oven Thank You

[@flutistnotflautist4740]

I enjoy vacuuming. It's so satisfying to see the carpet or floors clean up as a go along. BUT it is a pain in the bum to take out, plug in, then put away the vacuum.

[@claireadamson111]

I love hoovering it's so satisfying seeing the Hoover lines in the carpet. Xx

[@biancas.6283]

I hate ironing with a passion! Vacuuming is ok. Love your videos :)

[@ellenfrances1303]

Vacuuming! Must be a quiet machine like a kenmore whisper AND have a bag! I find that without a bag dust goes back into the air. I know people swear it doesn’t, I don’t agree. I love your channel. Thanks

[@zook717]

I don't hate vacuuming - I just bought a Dyson last week so am excited to vacuum now!

[@gailpeczkis5292]

I do most of the cleaning but my husband is my super vacuum man. I love it !!

[@jadelightsword]

I hate vacuuming! I think it's because I used to have ultra long hair and my parents made me clean the beater bar every time! Also, that is how I clean my microwave too, and I have a bonus trick. I actually spray my stovetop with bac out first, then use the microwaving vinegar as a timer for my bac out dwell time. I do a third task while that's cooking. Then when the microwave goes off, I keep the door closed and let the vinegar steam sit for an additional few minutes while I degrease my stovetop. Then when I finally open my microwave, it's had additional time to work on the really stubborn crusts, and some time to cool as well. :)

[@RandomDadStuff]

I love getting rid of schmoots, schmutz, 2:27 with a lint roller. Great tips.

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Hawaii Sure wish I was there right now 🤗

[@merbac]

Hi, congratulations to you both! one question, how can you tell if the company is good when you are hiring a company to clean your place? thanks in advance

[@lindawhittaker1927]

I also clean houses for a living my own business. It’s funny to hear you say how much you hate vacuuming. If I have a vacuum cleaner that I don’t like I hate vacuuming too but I found the best vacuum at a really good price from Germany. Severin. I’d like to know your thoughts on different vacuum cleaners. And if you’re interested I’ll give you mine on all the different vacuum cleaners I’ve used over the years

[@sabrinafare7049]

I love vacuuming. I really want to get myself a new Dyson cordless stick vacuum. Do you like the one you have?

[@tracywaring5594]

Love ,love love vacuuming it's definitely my favourite thing to.xx

[@Pocketsnuggies]

First of all, I want to wish you luck with your delivery. ;). Second, just got your cloths and love them. Went on to order more (purple) and you're out. Any ideas when they'll be back? Thanks much.

[@marife320]

Hi Melissa, this question has nothing to do with the video, lol but I LOVE YOUR CABINET HANDLES!!!CRAZY CRAZY QUESTION.... where are they from??? Or the model name of the handles???

[@bbnorthofnowhere4761]

I hate to vacuum but will do laundry anytime! Thanks for the good info. Can't wait to meet the bump! Barbara in Maine

[@oksana10001]

Dave Murray this was prerecorded. They’re taking some time off KZbin, but pre recorded videos so we would have new content

[@SreelakshmiPrabhakar]

Great video as the others. Congratulations on your bundle of joy💕. Riley's adorable, curious and alert. Regarding the poll question I love vacuuming

[@discardeddede]

I don't use as much vinegar to clean the kettle. I fill it up with 3/4 water and 1/4 vinegar. It will remove all the limescale.

[@katerynasemernia5775]

discardeddede does a kettle smell after boiling vinegar in it? I was about to do it, but I’m concerned about scent

[@discardeddede]

Kateryna Balykina, you don't need to worry about a smell or about drinking water that tastes like vinegar. Just rinse out the kettle a little bit after boiling the vinegar + water like Melissa did in the video. Your kettle won't smell at all. That's very important for me too because I don't like vinegar. 😉 Did you know that vinegar neutralizes bad smells? When my mother cooks something smelly like fish or after frying anything, she always puts on the kettle with water and vinegar and opens the lid after boiling to let out the steam because it helps to get rid of the smells. For a few minutes the room smells of vinegar and then the air is "clean". By the way: If you worry about the kettle smelling like vinegar, you can also use citric acid. 1 or 2 large spoons of the acid mixed with water, boil it in the kettle and rinse it. No chemicals and no smell.

[@katerynasemernia5775]

discardeddede thank you so much for your reply! It’s very helpful. Now, I’m not afraid of vinegar :)

[@discardeddede]

Kateryna Balykina, you're very welcome! Good luck with the vinegar! 😉

[@karenrich9092]

I don't vacuum much as most of our rooms have hard floors, but when I did it a lot, I used an extension cord so I only had to plug in once. Now, it's a sweep-a-thon to clean house.
