the MOVE-IN CLEANING CHECKLIST you didn't know you needed | Beginner's Guide (Eco- Friendly)

[@yayjdjfjfbd591]

Thank you so much for showing people how to clean in a non-toxic and eco-friendly way !

[@abetweene]

my pleasure

[@MelinaTEntertainment]

As someone who deep cleans before moving and doing a deep clean maintenance once every season, this scratches an itch in my soul! SO SATISFYING! Also, glad I’m not the only one who does stuff like this because people be calling me crazy or a clean freak.

[@gabriella2682]

Cleanliness is next to Godliness ♡

[@silkehinz2527]

Just a small tip with siliconing the tub, to avoid cracking make sure you fill the tub before siliconing because it pulls away from the walls ever so slightly when you fill it with water

[@Marly930]

Does the temperature of the water matter?

[@abetweene]

ohh, good tip. thanks

[@mayashaw9911]

This is only needed if the bath tub is plastic, which admittedly it usually is especially in rented places, but yeah!

[@sadiedol4413]

Thank goodness for videos like this. Look I get that it's common sense for a lot of people but I want to thank you bc not everyone has parents to teach them this and not everyone is in a headspace to remember these things. This video literally just randomly showed up on my fy page and I'm so greatful for it. Thank you.

[@abetweene]

youre very welcome

[@santosteffano]

oh honey we're seated

[@abetweene]

🍿here u go

[@TheREELRundownWithJB]

😂😂😂

[@AngelicDiva1988]

I legit pulled a notebook out 😂

[@_stickmin]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@EmorettaRobinson]

I just want to say that I admire how thorough you are in your cleaning. You did an amazingly good job. I'm gonna have to get me some coconut sponges to use. I didn't know about them until your videos.

[@abetweene]

thanks! u totally should, they’re my fav

[@smad94]

Girl I followed you for the sugar wax videos despite never having waxed in my life (and probably never will) and now you’re giving THIS?! The quality SO high, I think you’ve got the art of making ✨ content ✨ down so well that you could make videos on anything and I’d still watch! AND this is genuinely helpful and useful. Brava 👏 👏 👏

[@abetweene]

Not u gassin me up?! ☺️ tysm 💕

[@crystalrain89]

Literally! Never in my life thought I’d watch a pedicure video, but sis just lured me in. 😂

[@raquelaureliarodriguez6358]

I love your videos, pace, camera placement, voice over, humor, and teachings on how to clean in sustainable ways. Like yes, thank you bless you have a great day.

[@WowzaTalent]

I would love a video going through every cleaning supply/tool/thing you use and why!

[@01diary.10]

pls pls PLEASE make cleaning/decluttering videos more often going forward!! i have to watch these types of videos almost every day to motivate myself to clean but none have been as effective and inspiring as yours!! literally binged these and finally finished the stuff i've been putting off for weeks (well basically a month if imma be honest..)!! i'm so serious rn you're like my virtual adhd big sis ily mwah xoxo ♡♡♡

[@abetweene]

Ill definitely try. executive dysfunction is my biggest issue, but ill be experimenting with some solutions to find the most effective approach. glad theyre helping tho 💕

[@outerspacelocation]

my favorite adhd hack is setting a 5 minute timer to do something... by the time ive started, i realize it's not that hard! helps a lot for homework too :)

[@xpresson6338]

I've seen cleaning and then I've seen YOU cleaning! Wow. I'm mega impressed!

[@abetweene]

😏 thanks 😊

[@marbiejay6184]

Big shoutout to you for the background music🥹🤍 Supporting other curators is such a beautiful habit. Love you even more for that 🤍

[@mtee8902]

Omg I’m a college student and I was never told or considered cleaning BEFORE I move into my dorms but having watched this I feel like I’ve been living like a heathen. I’ll make sure to follow every single step you took on this video. I have seen the light 😆

[@sultown4343]

no 5 minute intro just straight into what you promised in the title, great stuff!

[@maryfinley8349]

thank you!!! I am moving into an apartment style dorm in a couple weeks and I unfortunately know the students before me & they trashed the place 🤮 this makes me feel like me & my roommates will be able to fix things up 💜

[@dhvanibunneh]

That toy truck tool box kit is ADORABLE!!

[@earthmama9597]

I've lived in apartments a good portion of my life and I guess too these things for granted. Honestlt, with how much rent has gone up, maintenence should be doing this. Also I suggest disinfectant wipes when staying at hotels/motels. I used to be a maid and they ate just doing a quick wipe down and making the bed with clean sheets. Blankets and coverlet are only changed on a rotation basis or if look dirty. Also pillows are not frequently cleaned either.

[@eyebeholdher]

I just want to thank you for this video. Also so informative on how some landlords don't change the toilet seats. This was so satisfying to watch

[@earthmama9597]

At the very least the seat should be remove and thoroughly cleaned & bleached. I have the luck if I replaced it I would get charged for removing their nasty toilet seat! 🤯🤣

[@abetweene]

youre very welcome! 💕

[@KerrieAnneMusic]

Girl we can hang! Love your attention to detail when cleaning. For me, every 👏🏾 nook 👏🏾 and 👏🏾 cranny needs to be cleaned and sanitized before I can even take a nap in a new place. Legally, the landlord is responsible for an end of tenancy clean, which is a good place for me to start with my deeper clean. Go girl! ❤️

[@alanaburrell6611]

This was amazing, and thank you for showing us how to clean the cleaning tools too! That made all the difference to see how you washed the towels too!

[@abetweene]

yw!

[@piplup10203854]

As someone who is moving next month I am really stoked for more eco friendly cleaning products lol I maintain all my spaces daily and I am bit overwhelmed as I am moving to a larger place but once I get into a routine and using these better or easier products, I actually look forward to it lol thanks for the video and all the links :D I cannot wait to try that showerhead product lol

[@abetweene]

youre most welcome. Congrats on the new larger space!

[@piplup10203854]

@@abetweene Thank you! 😄 I'm really stoked! I move in on the 27th next month!

[@Ysabea]

What perfect timing!! We moved in 2 weeks ago and I've been watching cleaning videos since then and I'm overwhelmed on what to clean and when 😂😂 Thank youuu!! ☺️

[@abetweene]

yw!

[@mewmew6158]

You always give me the perfect cleaning motivation! I love watching your videos and getting ideas of how to make cleaning easier for myself💛

[@abetweene]

glad i can help 😌

[@MS-sk2yk]

I love that you put the links of EVERYTHING in the description, make me want to come back to check them out later!

[@Madelineish]

I would feel so safe being anywhere in your home. Really great ideas for what and how to clean as well!!

[@abetweene]

now thats a compliment 😏

[@tinah142]

It’s amazing how thorough you are. But I know I would procrastinate a lot of these cleaning and maintenance tasks.

[@abetweene]

thanks. Trust, I do too. I only have so much energy at a time so it gets divided up.

[@DreamingButterfree.22]

As a person, who loves cleaning i think i found my side of youtube! So satisfying ❤

[@vaderladyl]

Excellent cleaning. Comparable to professional grade, residential deep move out cleanings.

[@abetweene]

thanks

[@burntbeansoup]

Insanely helpful. Thank you so much, I'm moving out next year and want a fresh start. I was worried I wouldn't get everything. The fact it's more eco-friendly is just the cherry on top, man

[@abetweene]

yw!

[@RachelLWolfe]

As someone who does property management I approve this video! We try very hard to make sure our properties are as clean as possible before people move in, and then hope they take care of it while living in it. We don't always paint the walls... you're right, but only if it's not needed. If it's needed then we do paint, but yes laws vary from state to state on what's required.

[@midnight_coffee_2337]

the timing is perfect! i m moving in a new apartment in september due to university and this will help me so much! thank you so much!

[@abetweene]

yw, good luck with the move & studies!

[@soyoungbae6990]

I never thought that I could use vacuum to clean mounding. OMG! It was so satisfying thanks to you!

[@AWanderingEye]

YT random gave me your video and I LUV you! Where was this video 6 years ago when I moved!!!??? It is so much easier to do this sort of cleaning before moving your possessions into the space that I now have the plan (when I move) to give myself a storage unit for a month or keep things on the truck for at minimum 4 days, just so I can do these deep cleans on the old and new space. I have a darlin old dear of a landlady who I feel just cannot do all the things so this would be a kind of gift to her. And myself! So soothing seeing someone do all this so perfectly and with minimal tools/chemicals too!

[@abetweene]

thats very kind of you 💕

[@Clm54321]

Great video. I was not aware of some of the products you used. I just moved and it took 3 weeks of cleaning on weekends to finally feel like its thoroughly cleaned. I'm glad I found your channel.

[@abetweene]

thanks! glad it helped

[@hideorgochic]

I need from this moment onward to clean my toilet w/ coconut-husk. This is why I love your content; there's always something I learn.

[@myrnaj4502]

Definitely will save this checklist. Love it.❤

[@xiangliangni]

It’s so therapeutic to see you clean 🥰

[@lumensapace]

Thank you for sharing your process! We’re buying our first house and I want to deep clean when we close on it but lacked direction and this is so motivating!

[@abetweene]

yw& congratulations!

[@khi7966]

New subscriber !!! You are so organized!!!!! I find this information so important and helpful to future home or apt owners it like a breath of fresh air!!! Also thanks for sharing this info and thank you for care about where you live (where you live represents you !) ❤

[@abetweene]

tysm! happy to help 💕 im rediscovering just how important it is & trying to get better control of my environment so starting with a clean slate definitely helps

[@egeehaque9016]

Removing the toilet seat is genius. Would love to learn how to clean my stove hood and what i just discovered to be the gross under carriage of my oven. I think that's the broiler but there's no rack so I doubt it. These previous tenants were 🤢

[@Yasmin-yf1dq]

I saved this when you uploaded thinking oh this'll come in handy! Little did I know less than a month later I would indeed find myslef needing this very video 🤣😅 thank you! My unexpected move is a tiny bit less stressful now

[@abetweene]

yw!!

[@septemberjai5216]

You DEFINITELY did *THAT* girl!!!! ✨🧼🧽💅🏽

[@jela01.10]

Super vam je video ❤❤❤sa zanimljivim sadržajem. Sad sam vaš pretplatnik. Budimo podrška jedni drugim. Sretno i dalje od ❤

[@cassidylopez671]

Girl you are a life saver, especially for including the list in the end !!! Thank you sooo much !!!Also never knew oxy powder was basically solid hydrogen peroxide 🤯

[@abetweene]

yw girl! happy to help 💕

[@MsLovelylatina]

You are a rare breed! learned sooo much from you! I Love you!

[@saraaltuna8758]

The screwdriver set is just the most adorable thing ❤

[@hhahahunner]

This is so helpful! I just got the keys to my new apartment and want to do a much more thorough deep clean than I’ve done before. I wasn’t sure what all I should do but this is perfect guidance 🤩

[@abetweene]

glad it helped. congrats on the new place!

[@christinamartinez8132]

Congratulations on your new place! There's no better feeling than being able to having your own place! 😊❤

[@itskema5975]

You keep calling me dirty without calling me dirty ... like wow, I had no idea that all these things needed to be cleaned. I thought I was doing something cleaning the baseboards and walls.

[@abetweene]

😂😅 my bad

[@KO-D00M]

I would support if you opened a small eco-friendly home cleaning business. This is some serious deep cleaning that I’d rather pay for.

[@abetweene]

thanks!

[@madelinefagen24]

Same! And I’m in Philly!!!

[@earthmama9597]

Have you thought about maybe being a cleaning/organizing coach/consultant? You could do online consultations and ppl show what they are up against and you can help them on where to start, what to use to get stains removed, etc.... Sometimes people just need a friendly and encourage voice to help them start on their journey! Your videos already show a lot but sometimes people are really stuck and need that one on one support. Regardless, love the cleaning motivation and I will keep an eye out of those coconut fiber scrubbers!

[@abetweene]

I love that idea

[@ashag1802]

I’m so grateful for this video! I can’t wait to start moving into my new place. I have a plan of attack already mapped out thanks to you!

[@abetweene]

congrats!

[@christinadao6937]

This video is a blessing for me! I definetly need this one for my new apartment I'm moving in for my new job ❤

[@abetweene]

congrats on the new job

[@Mikirono23]

For the bathroom tiles I use the Clorox Toliet Bowl Cleaner and let it sit for atleast 30 mins and it works wonders.

[@Noname-vu1om]

Girl is there anything you can’t do? So talented. ❤

[@abetweene]

youre too kind 🤭

[@violet18]

Yes babe! You clean that house! This was me when I moved into my college apartment.

[@latmcb9863]

Your attention to detail is amazing... and admirable!! Great video!

[@abetweene]

thank you!

[@noeraldinkabam]

9:45 you can screw out the sink stopper to clean it. (In case you didn’t know) You just grab it, turn it to the left (loosy). Clean it, believe me, you want to and screw it back in it’s place.

[@msp9810]

I grew up cleaning like this, we washed walls, cabinets inside & out, clean vents, etc..several times a year. Now i hire people to do it and watch them like a hawk while they clean. Lol, I'm so annoying but i like my space clean clean. Oh make sure to seal the grout after cleaning. It helps to keep water and dirt from penetrating. Tip if you put water on the grout and it immediately absorbs & darkens it needs to be sealed.

[@abetweene]

Ive got my limits, lol. Thats a job for the homeowner.

[@bamzbeauty]

AHHHHHH FINALLY !!! i’ve need this content for weeeeeksssss i just moved in last month n don’t even know where to start 😭😭😭

[@ET-hc4wl]

This is why I always try to opt for new construction. Great video.

[@abetweene]

thanks

[@angelasmemory]

this is so healing ❤

[@pandabear181]

Me and my boyfriend went in with fingers for our silicone jobs. Didn't know about the tool thingy and wanted to get it done ! Looks good though and nice advice btw 🎉(we are first time buyers and only just got a usable bathroom today wooo)

[@abetweene]

congrats!!🎉

[@littlebumgorf]

You’re the best, I was not expecting the checklist at the end Edit: subscribed!!!

[@amberjackson4017]

Semi pro tip: Grout comes in different colors it looks like they used a grey color. If you want it white you’ll have to re-grout with a white colored one. LOVEEEEE the video new subscriber! ❤️🫶🏾

[@abetweene]

yes, its a light tan. Im not going for white just wanted to remove any dirt cause i could tell it was discolored since it didnt match the shower 👍 ty! 💕

[@mariskabrady6123]

what did you use to clean the grout? And what was used for the final wipe of the sink hardware?

[@abetweene]

hydrogen peroxide and water. i just dried/buffed it with a dry rag.

[@earthmama9597]

You can find grout paint if it's discolored to the point it just looks plain nasty. So it would be renter friendly vs regrouting*

[@bradleylewis3080]

Great job but try using almond colored silicone! It matches that tile a lot better (I do tiling for a living)

[@abetweene]

Ill be changing the look of the bathroom so i opted for white to match the makeover.

[@jharrisss]

Moving tomorrow, that last post for us to screenshot is so helpful. THANK U!!!

[@abetweene]

youre welcome! good luck with the move

[@CalamityCJ]

When I was a renter I ALWAYS replaced the toilet seats, first day! I've lived in my house for almost ten years and want to do all this stuff immediately. 😂

[@RendyRamos]

multiple times I went YOOOOOOOOOOOOO throughout the video every time I learned something new.

[@alexiavence3432]

Beautiful cleaning videos!! I love how thorough you are and detailed! Also YOU'RE PLAYING GLEN'S MUSIC! If I'm hearing correctly, this is Glen Henry's music from his channel "Beleaf in fatherhood". I'm SO EXCITED! Love his wholesome content and I'm so proud that another black creator is using his music. You're the first one I heard use it!
