[@NoOctopuss]

As stressful as moving is, I love that start over fresh feeling!

[@lizziebkennedy7505]

Me, too! And that first meal, take out containers, and the first coffee you make in your new home. Makes it ALMOST worth moving 😂

[@fluffycandy---]

I think so too.I especially hate various contracts🫠from Japan.

[@A-R-I-A-D-N-E]

For the mirror, if you use newspaper instead of a cloth to wipe the windex off, it won't leave streaks. Just remember to change the newspaper once it gets a bit soggy or else it will leave particles behind. My mom taught me this trick and it works really well 😊

[@ashleyl5123]

Yes! Wad up the newspaper into a loose ball though!

[@janienichols46]

This is a good tip. Many name-brand paper towels have softener that make streaks on your mirror. Cheap paper towels also work.

[@gaarachan109]

the trick to not getting streaks on your mirror/glass windows is using NEWSPAPER instead of paper towels!! I learned this trick from a restaurant I used to work at and it's never failed me

[@emmysikorski44]

Just use water and a towel, no product. Works like a charm on mirrors every time, no streaks 👊🏼

[@nataliefickova8210]

Exactly, the best technique!!🌞

[@KrnCrftn]

Water all the way! Unless it’s a vinegar spray, I just feel anything marketed towards windows/mirrors is just a gimmick!

[@Acacia9872]

Newspaper will give you a streak free clean on the mirror. Also, as a renter who has moved 4 times in the last 2 years, I am super envious of how easy you made this look😅but super happy for you and can't wait to see how you make the place your own. And how good is moving-in floor pizza!

[@jennyjenkins877]

I love that you said "our hair tools." It was very nice of you to include Jeff in that! 😅 Thanks for suggesting a Canadian bedding company and places to eat when we go to Toronto.

[@Megmeg123]

I caught that too and laughed 😆

[@Christinamychas]

@@Megmeg123haha yes! he needs them for his beard! ❤😊

[@TColoradoF]

One organization tip I can recommend for tall cabinets is shelf stackers. I picked up a few so I could separate large and small plates but still use all the vertical space offered. It’s great in a pantry too! Enjoy the new place!

[@havilahholzwarth2196]

My husband is a window washer! To avoid streaks: after cleaning the mirror/window, use a dry towel to buff it dry. Work the dry towel in circles until all the moisture is gone, and voila! No streaks! ✨

[@ldg44]

I use invisible glass on my mirrors/glass surfaces. Sometimes I will do a wet cloth wipe down first if there is dirt (like on a window). Congrats on 200k 🎉

[@camper800]

Hiya Christina! Your new place looks great! Tip for the bars in the cupboard ... put an elastic band around the box, it should stop bars from coming out when you grab one.

[@silliepixie]

I am moving right now and have been using your Decluttering and Organizing playlist as my soundtrack. Thank you for keeping me motivated!

[@thesimplechiclife]

Congrats on 200K!! 🥳 and of course the new place! ❤❤❤

[@laurab4570]

Congrats on the new apartment! It’s always so wonderful starting fresh. We just bought a house in February and while it was a TON of work, it was nice starting over. 😊

[@christined2495]

I enjoyed this video, congratulations on your new apartment, it’s so nice and sunny too🌞🌞🌞🌞

[@nikitagiffin4457]

You’ve inspired me to organize my hall closet. 😂 📦 Congrats on the new place!

[@lorinhusa]

obsessed with all the natural light in your new place! Can't wait to see all the cute lil plants you get 😍

[@Mylalovesit]

I just moved myself! And took a lot of inspiration from you when I realized i had way to much crap. I down sized alot and decluttered alot! Thanks to you channel! You’re awesome christina 💓📦📦📦

[@longvieweccentric]

When I worked in a restaurant and had to clean glass doors, I was taught to use glass cleaner and newspaper to wipe down the glass. Always came out streak-free!

[@vickyb6054]

For the mirror, stop using mirror or glass cleaner and just use dishwashing soap in a low concentration. Also don't use paper towels but two micro fibre cloths, one for cleaning and one for drying :)

[@kamloopscruiser874]

Oh that’s a lovely apartment and way to go you and Jeff! 📦

[@britneydaniels6294]

Congrats in the new place! Did i spy TWO TIBI JEANS in this vid🤩🤩. Love the Sid and the Sam!

[@Bristolbelle59]

What a great apartment! Good idea to take off all the kitchen doors while you organise the space. I love Benita Larsson's videos for how to organise calm, ordered and minimal spaces

[@toniesilver5160]

Just some cornstarch in water and dry with newspaper- works a charm!🤗

[@chanellegoulet6165]

The video we've all been waiting for! New place looks great, it's so you! Love the mid century modern vibes. Can't wait to see more as you guys settle in! Yay for organizing vlogs!

[@jfpdc888]

All The Best with your new digs!!!! Thank You both for including us on your sweet new journey!!!

[@Carmi15]

For mirrors and glassyou can use microfiber cloth also I usually use this especially on a budget, paper, newspaper or paper bag use them to wipe. Saves mother earth

[@Dm777-7]

Good job with the move and best to you in the lovely new space! 😍

[@shannonpflueger8608]

for the mirror cleaning after cleaning any dirt or dust off I do a last pass with newspaper with some windex, works like a charm!

[@mmdulong]

Happy new home! Love all the sunlight. A DIY glass cleaner I've used for years - 1 cup rubbing alcohol, 1/4 cup ammonia, 1/2 tsp Dawn dish detergent, 22 ounces of water. Spray the cleaner on your cloth, not on the glass.

[@deryazzi]

Wipe mirrors and glasses with newspaper. No streaks. You can also just use a vinegar/water solution for it 50:50.

[@lizzabbott]

200K ? Yaaay ! Gosh I remember when you were way before 100K. Well done !

[@Lily993]

I’m also moving right now and it’s a paaaain, but the feeling of starting anew is just so good! I’m super stressed and tired, but also very excited to be in out new home (which will happen in a few days). Wish you the best in this new chapter!

[@mansoor3159]

Yayyy!!! Finally Finally Christina you came with this vlog because I was eagerly eagerly waiting for this vlog you are my inspiration and I wish you have a best weekend🤗💓💫

[@LEgicA5]

I am really excited you are sharing tour moving and organizing your home. My family and I will be moving in few months and that gives me great motivation! I am having a pre-declutter these weeks🤩

[@Skye525]

📦… Congrats! Gotta love a new space. Unboxing and organizing can be tiresome, but the outcome makes a difference! While watching, I got up off my ass a did a lil organizing too. Thanks!

[@samicumar9501]

Using newspaper to clean a mirror works for streaks ❤

[@joywolters2553]

First time watching your channel and I'm hooked! I like your sense of design and look forward to seeing more of your channel ❤

[@marjiecleveland]

📦Moving is so much work but so satisfying when done. Good job!

[@penelopewilcock3847]

What the others said about cleaning the mirror - use paper. If you don't have a newspaper, kitchen roll (paper towel) will do, or even toilet paper. Also, if you put vinegar in the washing water, and just the tiniest amount of washing up liquid (dish soap).

[@tanyal7122]

Congrats to you and Jeff!!!!

[@MsStarbright84]

📦I am really enjoying all the cleaning and organizing. Great video once again.

[@Chrissyhappy]

Wishing you many happy years in your new home.❤

[@gabrielas3602]

Good Start. I think moving in a New Apartment is always a good time.❤

[@kristen2646]

📦 It looks amazing! So happy fot you and Jeff. Sending good wishes from middle midwest, Nebraska

[@valerieelias5606]

All that sunlight ❤️🤩

[@triciaperinger2675]

📦 Loved this video and I love the backsplash tile in your new kitchen🤩🤩

[@cheriy8750]

For glass, chrome, etc. get Norwex Envirocloths. A serious game changer! One wet cloth, one dry cloth, no chemicals, the cloths have antibacterial properties in them, NO STREAKS! I don’t sell it, just a fan.

[@MissFlutterGirl]

You can buy very fine micro fibre cloths for windows and mirrors. Game changer!

[@nadiarambles]

📦🧡🧡 Very exciting that you're moved in now!

[@louisetilbury3443]

Yay🎉 finally in. Enjoy your new home. Tip for windows/mirrors : wet fingers with cold water and flick at mirror, then wipe with a kitchen roll. The more chemicals you put on the harder it is to get a smear free mirror. You can get special window cloth sets - 1 is a white waffle cloth that you wet, 2 is a silky cloth that buffs the surface to leave streak free with no chemicals.

[@cecilelebourzec5678]

Loved it!📦

[@mariagrove2527]

Great move in video - congratulations on your new space

[@lizziebkennedy7505]

How adorbs are the wide leg jeans. 🥰

[@selahmorse]

Need to say the balloon jeans look so great on you!

[@myrnaj4502]

I'm here for it. ❤

[@salmaabouelezz8800]

ULTIMATE mirror hack: Use news paper instead of the cloth/wipes/paper towels ect.. along with the cleaning spray of course

[@christianegrimard6555]

Oh dyson it’s my Best Buy also for cleaning good tools much fun to do the tasks of cleaning… bon courage pour l’installation !

[@angieserdar]

Yayyy moved in and settled ❤

[@LEgicA5]

And congrats on 200k!!!

[@lifeoutnumbered]

I haven't had a dishwasher in years. We will have one in our new space so this was a great reminder to clean it before using it lol.

[@tarski7420]

📦📦📦 place is looking good already!

[@kathrynp7595]

The windows are so nice to have 👍🏼

[@oksanamelnyk7588]

Christina, thanks a lot for the video!

[@annabanana8013]

I bought a steam mop but I never use it! I always grab the Vileda spray mop because it’s so easy to use and so light compared to the steam mop

[@mariahm15]

📦 love these videos!!

[@jeffluciani]

Oh great! Darci edited out the arguing haha ;)

[@karinefrommontreal]

Definitely!! 📦 Good job🎉

[@susannee.colella6109]

To get rid of mirror streaks use a news paper right after the paper towels. 😊

[@ioanapop8921]

📦 Congrats, guys!

[@JanineMacLachlan]

Congrats on the move and thanks for all you tips. As a chef, I recommend you get knife guards if you plan to keep your knives in the drawer. If they rub against each other you'll get nicks and also dull the cutting surface. That's called "losing your edge" and of course you don't want that! Have fun in your new place! I lived in Toronto for four years and still miss it!

[@timtamtums]

For mirrors, windows, and glass, I use the Glass and Polishing Cloth from E-Cloth! It requires no chemicals at all, just water and it always leaves everything streak free. Idk what magic it is but it's awesome. Love all their products.

[@sallycroft2191]

I find I rehome very little items after the move. It worth taking the time planning it out to begin with Hope you enjoy your new home.

[@_LN_]

The only way that I found to prevent mirror streaking is to buy a Karcher Window Vac and use that instead. It works wonders on windows, mirrors and walking shower glass

[@LibbyAudrey]

For mirror streaks, I use Windex brand glass cleaner, any off brands just never work and always leave streaks. I also just use a regular paper towel. Yay for new homes!

[@marianatempesta4802]

📦 love the huge window!!

[@cindarella2937]

There are special microfiber cloths for cleaning glass and mirrors. I use a wet one for removing the dirt and a dry one for streak free drying. Better than anything I've ever tried before!

[@katepavelle9465]

For cleaning mirrors and windows without streaks, use a spray bottle with a water vinegar mixture, and newspaper. Not kidding, the vinegar takes care of the streaks and newsprint doesn’t mean Lint. For a more expensive than less sustainable solution, get a high alcohol windshield spray from an auto store, for detailing, and a microfiber cloth.

[@katdorian5688]

Clean your mirror with dish soap! Gamechanger!!!!

[@BettyBarnyard]

Looking forward to closet organization/ clothes storage!

[@bbellebe]

📦😄🥰 Thank you! It always inspires me!

[@radiomaryna]

Moving is a huge job itself, I'm surprised that you have the energy to film it as well! Thanks for sharing :)

[@lizzabbott]

I LOVE this, you guys ! Congrats & WELCOME HOME ! Many happy days & years to you here ! So many y’tubers have moved lately : Simple Happy Zen ( Vera in The Netherlands); Little Poet ( Susan in Michigan, USA ); Clutterbug ( Cas in Ontario, Canada); Mystique Awakening ( Melody in Chicago area , USA); & more !

[@darlenemahaney1258]

Love the balloon jeans on you!

[@emmalee5584]

Regarding the mirror you could dust it first with a cloth, no products. Then use glass cleaner and wipe with scrunched up parcel/news paper (like a soft paper so no scratches)

[@belloves2laugh]

What a beautiful, clean and organized apartment! Love the natural light Does Toronto have any zero waste/refill shops? I love those for refilling my dish soap, laundry detergent, hand soap, body wash, and other cleaning supplies! Less toxic and reduces your plastic, highly recommend if there’s one nearby!

[@Christinamychas]

Good idea! I know there’s one downtown - I’ll have to look into!

[@ardendurham284]

A streak-free glass and window cleaners.... No cleaner necessary, just water and Norwex!! Their window cloth is next level.

[@13yorkdukes]

Highly recommend a steam mop when you find a good deal on one you like! I got a simple Shark one and honestly it has saved me money in the long run since I don't have to buy the swiffer pads

[@satrianna]

For mirrors, glass and windows - mix one part vinegar with 2 parts water and use that. Works like a dream, zero streaks, cheap and natural 😊

[@lisagriffin2124]

Nice I'm moving soon so good info. Get some flowers for you table. Love it

[@peacewG]

Your new place looks so uplifting. Glad you are settled. Moving is not fun.

[@mamorales26]

I use a lint free towel not sure the exact material lol but it’s not fluffy at all or microfiber almost rough and spray “invisible glass” spray. It takes a lil to rub away but works like a charm for me!

[@katiescott8576]

Yesss ... Truffle Shuffle + garlic knots from North of Brooklyn is a SOLID order.

[@zaramichaels3339]

Loved the food haul! The stuff you bought is right up my alley. I need to get more beef in my diet.

[@slpmtlfavs8797]

Those dates are the BEST!

[@nekochan303]

for mirrors no need for windex, just water and a microfibre cloth. first it’s will looked like a mistake but keep doing circular motion and all streek will be gone ;)

[@OrganikHarmoni]

😊 for me it was the food haul. Am on a protein kick lately 😅 Loved the organization part as well ❤️

[@OhMissIvory]

I use a damp cotton cloth with regular water and wipe the mirrors with a microfiber cloth right after. Not a streak!👌

[@yourfavMattina]

Recently moved to a new place as well, it's a journey! But so fun! 📦

[@DrKestrel]

For windows and mirrors, i use a few drops of dish soap in water. No need to rince. If you need somebody local to talk to, to improve your french... greetings from Normandy ;)
