[@satencio548]

My favorite cleaning tool is the toothpick. It let's me get to the little teeny tiny areas that even a toothbrush can't clean. It helps me loosen the mildew that occasionally builds up in my shower faucet and to get whatever gunk there may be deep in the cracks of the shower door. It's also helped me to get gum out of my sneakers and to also clean the gunk that was coating the oven door when I first moved in. There really are just so many ways that toothpicks really help me to get my apartment clean.

[@Lashlove16]

Sheri Atencio thank you I am going to start using that

[@its_pouring_reign5422]

It’s amazing what very simple tools we forget we have and we go out and buy things that are really expensive but yet very unnecessary! Thanks for the reminder!

[@SarahNoyes]

My husband and I also swear by Bar keepers! I use it at home, especially for my stainless steel sinks. And my husband uses it at the hotel he works at! Works so well! Best product i've used!

[@cleanmyspace]

Nice!

[@UrMom-il7sz]

Also for some quick cleaning, I would recommend a couch vacuum. We got one a few months ago, and using it the first time and seeing how much pet hair came off blew my mind! They’re really useful and pick up everything!

[@latmcb9863]

Love, love, love my Maker's microfiber cloths. I have two large space kits and just ordered individual ones on the current sale. I have previously used microfiber, but you've shown me that there is a big difference between good quality microfiber and the cheap cloths I used to get. Thanks to you as well for turning me on to the wonderful cleaning properties and multiple uses of vinegar and dish soap. You've really changed how I clean and I truly thank you for that.

[@debpeluso1930]

Dawn is definitely my favorite cleaning product, but just getting into DIY cleaning products with our 16 month old granddaughter in the house and another due in September. I wasn't well informed when my kids were younger, but glad I finally know better!

[@neysarodriguez9622]

I love and I use Pine-Sol and I mix it with water and spray my counter tops in the kitchen every night... love the way it smells when I finish...fresh, clean and that pine smell.

[@soniacruz9607]

I use Bar Kipper friends for years and I love it. Thanks for your help

[@jesicanicole5218]

My favorite must have cleaning tool is DAWN DISH SOAP AND WATER!!!!!! I have been using this for about a year and a half and it has saved us to much money it's crazy!!!!!!

[@SnuglebunyDeGroot]

Jesica Nicole me too

[@michellem5647]

Dawn rules! I brought my moms disgustingly dirty, grimy, filthy floor back to almost new with dawn & a scrub brush on my hands & knees

[@Femster1968]

One of my best things is a caddy to carry all my cleaning products in. Not only does it help me save time form going backwards and forwards, it also allows me to see how much of a product is left in a container. I usually have one bottle of anything in a cupboard as well- so if the one in the container is running low, i can get the other one out of the cupboard AFTER i put it on the shopping list!

[@indigobeauty1]

Vacuum, white vinegar and dish soap with water are my must have....I adore the smell of vinegar...makes me feel so clean ✨️✨️🪄

[@ainorey882]

My favorite product is probably mäntysuopa. It's a traditional all natural cleaning product that we use in our country, Finland. It's made with pine oil. I use it to clean the sauna and as a multipurpose cleaner, but you can do the laundry with it too, clean the floors, really anything you can think of. I love the pine smell. I also love the Universal stone for cleaning or the scrub daddy version called Powerpaste. Works great and so versatile.

[@valeriecarter655]

I am actually a huge fan of microfiber cloths. We use them to dust the apartment (we have 2 dogs and 2 cats in a small 750 sq. ft. apt) and generally clean the house. I also love the Mr. Clean erasers, they did wonders on the scuffs on the front door.

[@FlamingoFieldsFarm]

I love my long handled 360 duster. LOVE! Truly life changing in my cleaning routine. Zip, zip, done!

[@suzannehalesuzzz4895]

My favorite cleaning tool is my shop vac. I have all wooden and ceramic tile.. I have glued felt pads to the vacuum attachment. I can suck anything up and anywhere.

[@kirstymacfarlane1620]

Method bathroom cleaner, love it! Plant based and smells minty fresh xxx

[@ashleytanner06]

Nope its toxic

[@taylormckenzie8897]

Game changer.. I used Bar Keepers Friend today & ecstatic at the results!!! Woohoo!!! 😘🥰💛🕊

[@jalenmoses8629]

[@7Earthsky]

Fav cleaning tool at the moment is definitely my mini dust buster vacuum cleaner.

[@rachelweinstein9008]

Another great video. You have endless info that's so helpful!! Well, I'm with you:: my favorite is a microfiber cloth. Just love them. Yea, I'm a believer, Melissa!!

[@nans969]

Vinager is awesome. People don't know that bleach doesn't kill mold spores. Vinager does. Uses it for laundry, especially towels and shower curtain. Use instead of fab soft. Mix with dawn for shower walls. Mixed in a spray bottle for air fresh and cleaning food prep and storage areas. Run through dishwasher and coffee maker. Cleaning irons to de scale. I'm still a fan of pine sol. Floors mostly.

[@jaclynsteachingjourney4229]

I think my one tool would be a cloth since they're reusable and are so great at cleaning. I love the Maker's cloths because they really do work well. I'm not just saying this; it's my honest opinion. I have other microfiber cloths which work well, but aren't as high quality.

[@tyreecourtney3119]

HAPPY BELATED TURKEY DAY! I love using all the METHOD brand products when cleaning & my 💕bona💕 mop for my wood floors!

[@AnnetteGarcia-g1e]

If I was on a stranded Island I would want to have the microfiber cloths lol 😍

[@theuglybookling4604]

It has to be Diy all purpose cleaner! Ever since I learned from you that just soap and water is great, it's all I use! I love that it doesn't have that horribly nasty chemical smell most all purpose cleaners do :)

[@kimhazelwood5337]

Yes please vacuum's! Although your brands may be different to mine here in the Uk. Dyson good. Vax ok. For total dependability (and I use mine for my cleaning business) the Numatic Henry or Hetty. Downside is they are bigger and heavier (esp when full: change the filter bags often) than most but do an excellent job on everything - even pet hair.

[@OfficialXOmusicman]

The squeegee is very useful. It's gets so much dirt and many other things you can't see off. I very much recommend!

[@thisisbethm]

I've always had a problem with cordless vacuums having batteries dying/not holding a charge after a year. I recently got a Ryobi cordless vacuum. I love it because if the battery gives up, I can buy a new battery and keep using the vacuum!

[@duncandy]

Melissa, those earrings are fabulous.

[@jennyyakas2243]

I sometimes use a pizza dough cutter for scraping crumbs off of a surface and then wipe with a microfiber cloth and all purpose cleaner. I feel like it helps me get more uses out of my microfiber cloth before needing to wash it since all the crumbs aren’t getting stuck in the cloth.

[@sabinahertzum9728]

I have a Big floor squegee... its made for hairstylists instead of a broomstick, it has a ‘twirling’ handle, so I can get in everywhere! It’s faster and easier than a normal broom to get bigger messes off the floor before vacuuming and washing....

[@cnhaagsman]

I love the smell of vinegar. My husband however, not so much. But he tolerates it when I clean with it. As far as my favourite cleaning tools, I share the love of good quality microfibre cloths. I currently use Norwex brand ones, but I just took advantage of your Black Friday sale and bought the large space set. Looking forward to trying them out 👍🏻

[@klmjtr]

My must have cleaning tool would definitely be a Maker’s microfiber multi purpose cleaning cloth!! They truly are the best quality and work great..plus they look pretty! Thank you for putting them on sale yesterday..I got more waffle weave cloths for my kitchen which I’ve been wanting to buy more of since I purchased the multi cloth small pack when they first came out. Happy Holidays! 🎄😀

[@jesuslovesyou6730]

Thank you for sharing your videos the best cleaning tool I like to use for cleaning brush with the handle the one you used on this video love it works great

[@cleanmyspace]

COMMENT QUESTION: What is your absolute favorite cleaning product and/or tool?

[@cadm18]

Clean My Space Spray bottle with vinegar and water :)

[@snazzytoyreviews]

The swiffer wet jet is everything also I got the new dyson vaccum And it’s amazing!!! 😊🙌🏻

[@mairwyncurtis2102]

Eucalyptus Eucalyptus Eucalyptus aaaaaannnnnnnnnddddddd Eucalyptus. I haven't bought commerical benchtop cleaners in 2 years. I mop the tiles with it to. Ok so I'm just a little addicted to the smelll of it. Who wouldn't. Things SMELL clean with Eucalyptus :D

[@nailsarelife]

I would probably go with microfiber cloths. I got some a couple of months ago, and I haven't been this efficient with my cleaning ever! It grabs ahold of most of the dust, and it definitely traps in moisture when I'm drying my dishes or what-have-you. Love them!

[@alexcarrn28]

Baking powder

[@DawitTadesse-h3d]

You’re very nice teacher.

[@stamps4fungin]

#1 must have tool - squeegee, which makes my shower soooo much cleaner always.

[@SarahNoyes]

I also own the spin mop! Best mop i've owned!

[@cleanmyspace]

It's a good one for sure.

[@sueg2658]

Spray bottle with vinegar/water/Dawn. I squirt everything with that stuff! Don't stand still or I will squirt you too LOL.

[@duncandy]

Lmao

[@Customplays33110]

Equal parts

[@rachelweinstein9008]

Sue G love that vinegar but I've never tried it with a squirt of Dawn. Does that mean you must rinse???!!! Thanks so much.

[@sueg2658]

I just wipe with a damp microfiber cloth.

[@HOLLYSGREG]

YUP yup have to agree. I Switch it up at holiday time and buy the Mrs Myers holiday scent tho:) spray bottle and foam sprayer are my best friends LOL

[@vacuumcleanercollectorfixe1499]

My favourite cleaning tool has to be my vacuum cleaner!! I can do floors, walls, ceilings and dust surfaces

[@2aeng]

Hi Melissa. Could you do a video on the different kinds of vacuum cleaners. The choices are varied & confusing. There are basic ones, steamers, floor polishes, extra power & what not. Thanks

[@zer0luv]

& are dust busters, ie. mini hand held worth it, which brands work 😉

[@roxannepalmer6943]

Also for those of us who can't afford a Dyson, which one works the best on a budget?

[@adrianekelly2966]

Just love power, ease of use, great cut lines of Shark Navigator. Asked for basic model for Christmas to use on carpets/hard floors daily. Helps keep dust down. Actually fun to use, despite my loyalty to Dyson upright for years. Just advised a friend to get a Navigator Liftoff yesterday, $150.00. Only $20.00 more than basic model atBig Lots and seems well worth it. Friend got me the basic on eBay for $100. Even with rotator cuff issues, I find I keep grabbing the Shark daily.

[@LoriVasconcellos]

Melissa, what type of store bought products or DIY recepies can I use to which type of floors? Tks! 😍

[@mayral1718]

wow your having a baby boy congrats 💙💙💙💙

[@almondpsychedelia9400]

you and chad and your company have helped a lot of people so much, why haven't you gotten one million subscribers already????

[@gulhamfathma3374]

Hi. I watch your videos and they have encouraged me in cleaning my home in your simple clwaning techniques. I absolutely love cleaning now. But I hate the smell of vinegar. My kids don't like the smell either. Is there anything I can mix with vinegar so its not so bad. Thankyou.

[@kaylah3889]

I don't think I could go without dish soap! I feel like I use it for everything :)

[@lindadavis4320]

THANK U FOR VIDEOS!

[@keithbates598]

Like the iron handle brush. I want a squigee.Joan Bates

[@MistressElodie]

Hi Melissa, I love vinegar for cleaning and that it is safer to use around my dog, but the smell is a migraine trigger for me. I wish I knew what to do to block out the smell but I just can't handle the pain.

[@melissaschaub1275]

My favorite is Bon Ami cleansing powder. No fumes to trigger a migraine nor asthmatic attacks. Works wonders.

[@dvorahmariscal7963]

Melissa Schaub - my parents had a 1960 something convertible Cadillac. We used Bon Ami on the convertible top. It was amazing and I didn’t know it was still available!

[@melissaschaub1275]

I have not seen it in stores around here, but I have seen and tried it from the Grove Collaborative website. It is just $1.49 for 14 ounces. Hope you find them and get some!

[@trishaowens1900]

They sell it at target I bought some yesterday

[@melissaschaub1275]

Thanks, Trisha! I will look for it there. What is their price?

[@trishaowens1900]

Melissa Schaub it was 1.82.

[@AashkaBhatt]

I have been following u for quite a while now.. N i do love ur tricks n tips.. Some of them i have already incorporated in my routine.. In this one u mentioned toothbrush as a must have cleaning tool. I don't think u have done a dedicated video for all the stuff u can use the toothbrush for. Plz see if u can compile one. I will b waiting...

[@CelineShiko]

Dishsoap is a must have. For almost everything!!! Showers, walls, bathtubs, sinks, floors, car, even handwashing certain clothes e.g bras and thick socks because most handwash detergents cause the itch 🙄 Guess what, i can use it on the deserted island too 😁

[@Ninia923]

My #1 fave cleaning item is Ms. Meyers multi suface cleaner in lemon verbena.

[@caziontherise]

I like the kitchen tool that holds the dish soap and has a scrubber and handle. I put a solution of vinegar tea tree oil and dish soap in it and scrub the shower in no time.

[@its_pouring_reign5422]

caziontherise that sounds like a great use of that tall! How much do you put in for each ingredient? Do you make a big batch first and put some in the scrub brush and set the rest aside?

[@beesilva9085]

My fav products this month: Method Granite spray cleaner Dyson stick vac Weiman lemon oil (beautiful for stainless steel)

[@SarahNoyes]

I always have a tooth brush in my bathroom and kitchen! I use one for cleaning in tight spaces, one for cleaning things off of the decor in my fish tank. Also have one in my bathroom for when I use it with lestoil to get stains out of clothes

[@cleanmyspace]

Love it!

[@1otterlover]

Sarah Noyes Lestoil! I haven't heard of that product in AGES! I should check that out again.

[@Lashlove16]

Sarah Noyes I use a toothbrush to clean the metal food strainer . Using a sponge never really gets all the food off . I also use it on my cheese grader .

[@SarahNoyes]

Linda Ferrington Lestoil works so well! You can buy large bottles of it! I always use it with a tooth brush for stains and it works great! Lestoil also works great for washing clothes that smell wet or smell like pee when your child pees in their underwear. It also works for your hands when you have tree sap or glue stuck on your hands!

[@fr_francishein3790]

Love you vids. Do you have any tips on how to clean Velcro? With arthritis I have several clothing items that use it a lot, but how do I keep it clean and fully functioning? THANKS!

[@DuluthTW]

I love using old toothbrushes for cleaning. Can't clean w/o 'em. Thanks for the great recommendations!

[@pixelgun1025]

[@crystalmcmurray9181]

Peppermint essential oil\ vinegar\dish soap\and water in a dark spray bottle. This stuff cleans like a dream. I only put like a teaspoon of vinegar and 10 drops of peppermint oil in a water bottle 1 generous squirt of soap and the rest water.

[@meenasankar3755]

My go to product for all greasy surfaces and bathroom is Vim cream with bleach..the green one..one of the toughest cleaners I have used..

[@lauraholleman3560]

The smell of vinegar dissipates very quickly - I don't find a residual odor like there is with regular store bought cleaners. It does disinfect to some extent- it was the recommended disinfectant for my disabled son's speaking device. It doesn't disinfect like other products though. Thanks for this video! And, yes, vinegar is my most frequently used cleaning product.

[@SimpLeeBeth]

My must have cleaning tool is the company of a friend 😊

[@courtneydalrymple7998]

I bought your microfiber cloths on Black Friday🎉I can't wait to get them!!!! Thank you for all y'all do! I am a hairdresser and now you guys are all I talk about😆. I never knew baking soda was so awesome😃 Love your videos!

[@acmulhern]

I own that exact mop and spin bucket. It's so weird to see someone else use the same one. I was wondering if you could make a video update of how to clean your cleaning products and also show how you clean a mop like this one. I clean mine by soaking it and them give it a scrub by hand, but I'm sure there must be a better way to do it. I've tried to detach the bristles to put them in the wash but it doesn't seem to work.

[@arunashanmugham6613]

Hi Melissa thanks for the great cleaning tips. Can you post ideas for cleaning a gas range? Also how do you clean or wash a handbag/purse? Thanks.

[@mynewme8759]

Love the mother comment!! Yay to Mom!! And Molly is beautiful but.....I believe that's HER thumb that she just lets you borrow. lol People have mentioned BKF to me before and I had no clue what they were talking about. Thanks for the translation!! Again, awesome video!!

[@nancymadsen3834]

Love your videos. How do you launder your micro cloths? Do you put them in the dryer and do you use fabric softener? My favourite cleaning products are by Method. Thank you.

[@Stone-Darican]

Yes, you can put them in the dryer, but NO heat! Never, ever put use fabric softener or dryer balls, they disrupt the microfibers ability to catch dust and clean well.

[@Mondoshawn]

My favorite cleaning tool is my steam cleaner together with good fiber cloths. With any kind of spray I hate the fact that I have to breathe in the little droplets especially when I'm inside the shower. With the steam I just have the water and it works really well for me.

[@amberdominguez1620]

Instead of the iron handle scrubber get a drill and a brush for the drill. Will save you time cleaning the sink the bathroom the car mats the grout you name it. So worth it

[@tammyfellers5526]

BKF works excellent for white porcelain sinks. It removes the rust left in tub if you leave Bobby pins.

[@arigabilover748]

could you do more bedroom cleaning routines/organization videos please 😀😊😊☺

[@sassygrits7151]

Mrs. Meyers orange clove all purpose cleaner. It works really well and smells AMAZING!!

[@jaceyneubauer4359]

Love the hair

[@abunchahooey]

Hi Melissa! I have found that using a makeup brush (a clean blush brush or whatever) works great for brushing out keyboards, car interior detailing, and "dusting" wreaths or artificial plants. Not exactly my dessert island tool, but it really works well for any detail dusting.

[@deborahtcdelightful7315]

I use a pastry brush from any box store...not too expensive!

[@gwendolyng9473]

Random question. What kind of iron do you take?

[@peggyhiggins6923]

I would have to say my BKF!!! Due to medical problems, I'm limited on how I clean and always feel that using BKF really gets to the core of dirt😊. I should have stock in the company😄

[@leenbean6464]

New subscriber!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@brianm.9451]

Old toothbrushes not only is good for cleaning I also use it to clean excess glue from my wood working projects. Microfiber cloths have changed my cleaning game forever.

[@larrygreene9258]

MY cleaning lady!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@tammyhruby5800]

What cleaner did you use with you spin mop on your hardwood floor? I have real hardwood and am very nervous cleaning it. HELP!!

[@Tokixkitti]

If I only could have one cleaning product it would be a makers’ microfiber cloth. It will do every job.

[@EmyMTLyt]

Hi Melissa, Do you know when the maker's cleaning cloths will be back in stock :)? Thank you

[@smilesbehindlupus4978]

Vinegar and dawn for the shower and I just brought a hurricane spin brush amazing since I can’t bend to clean

[@ainorey882]

If you hate the smell of vinegar I recommend putting a few drops of natural peppermint oil in the vinegar bottle that you use for cleaning. The scent of peppermint completely masks the smell of vinegar and it has a lovely, fresh scent.

[@ainorey882]

I use vinegar instead of fabric softener when I do the laundry and I put peppermint oil in it. It works amazingly. Vinegar is better for clothes than fabric softener because it works for all materials, unlike fabric softener which ruins elasticity of clothes, and vinegar gets rid of bad smells and nicely freshens up everything. It's obviously a lot more natural and good for the environment too and I heard it's good for the washer itself.

[@carlazesati8828]

Vinegar!!! Does everything well

[@satuluukkonen2361]

Hi Melissa, I'm in a need of advice about using vinegar in cleaning. In Finland I've only come across with 10% acid stuff. Should I use it same amount as you do on your videos (and apparently wear protective gear) or less? Thanks for your vids!

[@jettines241]

7:50 where did you get that pineapple from?

[@mehrit1648]

Great video

[@johnroekoek12345]

🚬 4:44 For smoke smells in the house my grandmother used to put a couple of bowls or plates with a splash of vinegar in the rooms where visitors had smoked before she went to sleep. She left it there for the night, and in the morning the smoke smell was gone.

[@ritacymbalista3262]

You hair looks adorable. Absolutely loved this video. You're the best!

[@michellebyrd979]

My must have cleaning thing: MY KIRBY VACUUM! It’s the world’s best duster (doesn’t just move dust around). It doesn’t just vacuum my hardwood floors and carpets, it actually shampoos my carpets (not just dilute the stain/spill) and shines and mood my hardwood floors. (Yes, I love it!)

[@monicabarroetabena5831]

i love the microfiber cloths

[@lauraclark9108]

I watched an older video of yours where viewers were asking what your favorite spray bottle was and that yours is from ikea but it’s old and you have had a hard time finding one. I use Method all purpose spray as my main all purpose cleaner and I love their spray bottles. So once a bottle of method is empty, I rinse it out and use that (after I remove the labels) for all of my DIY cleaners.

[@briantayajohnson7337]

Hey Melissa, I was wondering about a DIY laundry detergent recipes, ones for HE machines. What would you recommend?

[@shreejadeja3127]

Finally you mentioned micro fibre cloths..!!! How come you didnt mention them in first part???

[@anncurran4704]

I like to use my electric toothbrush (old brush) to get in all the nooks and crannies. Saves a lot of elbow grease. Not my favorite tool, but right up there. Favorite tool might be the spray bottle.or the iron handle.

[@АлексейСобко-ж1щ]

Ай малядец,ай малядец хозяюшка,умница!!!!!

[@shelleyhermary1958]

What microfibre cloth do you use on a different wood furniture?

[@lksdiver2898]

My husband CAN NOT STAND the smell of vinegar, even days later. Would love alternatives!

[@CoffeeBreakHQ]

Find a new husband =) lol

Essential oils 👌🏽
