clean my TINY nyc studio apartment with me (realistic)

[@timeahoffmann-toth3633]

As a European I never understood the whole closet space issue, we buy wardrobes if no built in options are available. 🙂

[@rosecat5638]

I commented last video but I highly suggest switching the standing mirror with Bennett cat tree so that he can be high up and look out the window. My cat loves his tree so much more when I have it by a window and is happy for sun rays to nap in. Also then the standing mirror would be by your closet which I feel like would be super handy for getting dressed.

[@lesandthecity]

Let’s be for real… Bennet is giving main character energy. ❤

[@alexiseldredge]

yes he is!

[@samirapoffo4083]

I came here to say the same! He is definitely the star of this vídeo, sorry Alexis 😂

[@marccolomayt82094]

cleaning NYC studio apartment… so realistic & satisfying ❤

[@alexiseldredge]

❤️

[@adriennehilll]

When you said you cross your fingers when you open your closet. I felt that 🥲

[@alexiseldredge]

it’s a struggle sometimes 😭

[@briana2397]

duvet hack!! flip the cover inside out and then put it all in , tie and flip back right side out:)

[@alexiseldredge]

omg wait why have i never done this

[@lifemyway200]

​@@alexiseldredgealso, do this with your pIllow cases:)

[@kennaharrison603]

Bennet and your comments for him had me hysterical!!

[@alexiseldredge]

he was born for the spotlight

[@warmbreeze43]

You could buy or repurpose a small dresser and put it in your closet for under clothing and dress clothing. I did that and it worked great. Just leave half the closet for longer hanging clothes and shorter hanging clothes over the dresser.

[@alexiseldredge]

love this idea!

[@Sarabeth7]

You could use your smaller white dresser! That way you spend no money and free up some space in the room.

[@Simplylakesha]

Love this vlog, hmmm, the scrub brush for the tub, great idea. Bennett was like a new chew toy lol

[@ruthharris6783]

Bennett is the total star. Love that 🐈‍⬛

[@alexiseldredge]

yes he is!

[@sorcha0922]

I think Bennett would like the window seat better if you lowered it. It would be easier for him to jump into it. 😊

[@devoted2dance1]

I agree. I think it needs to be lowered.

[@denverdubois5835]

I love the disco ball planter there! It's so pretty! If you're lucky it will spin a little and Bennett will start chasing the little spots of moving light. My cat used to do that. I so enjoyed the cleaning vlog and I am getting one of those amazing scrubbers. Also...I think Bennett is becoming a ham for the camera!

[@simplyellenxo95]

So happy to see this video uploaded. Thank you for everything that you do!

[@mazaiah_]

Glad to hear you liked the brown sugar oatmilk in your matcha!!🎉

[@alexiseldredge]

SO GOOD

[@liliansmeenge3297]

Your apartment looks so good. And I looove that rug I watched this while cleaning btw

Just love this beautiful apartment before and after ❤❤

[@emilyecobb]

You can always blame Bennet;)

Alexis I have one of those cat beds on the window too! My cat also chews on the wires lol

[@annamariabo8963]

I have two suction cup window seats and they hold up really well! And my cat loves them.

[@kath4302]

You've been my comfort youtuber for the past months. So glad that you love matcha now ❤Manifesting to move to NYC by next year! Much love from the Philippines ❤

[@alexiseldredge]

❤️❤️❤️

[@finjie]

I hate it when disorderly half is folded and half not. That's why we now prep our clothes for the next day the evening before. Bc then you have the courage and time to put it back. We put everything in clothes organizers with dividers so that you just have to put one back in stead of getting the while pile disorganized.

[@cassylidia8966]

Love a good reset video! For your shower problem, I’ve had similar issues in the past, and what I’ve done is put 1 cup of baking soda, and 1 cup of vinegar down the drain (you’ll hear it sizzle and bubble), leave that be for a few minutes, and then put a full kettle of water to boil and once boiled, pour the whole thing down the drain! Usually after repeating that a few times it clears it out! Good luck!

[@richardottley4611]

much better.. I like the mirror ball right there by the window.. great job 👌😊

[@alexiseldredge]

thanks!

[@vanillaswirl87]

You should ask the building to snake the shower and get a handheld attachment for the shower so it is easy to clean your shower and body. Best thing I ever bought.

[@tla091]

If you have a clog get a bottle of Green Gobbler from Home Depot. Pour it down the drain overnight and then pour boiling hot water behind it afterwards. I usually do that two times. The drain unclogs beautifully.

[@WLK668]

Yes for the disco ball placement.❤ start with draino because it will eat whatever is in the pipe.

[@alexiseldredge]

it truly is so much better there lol

[@Simplyryanne]

Now I want to clean. Cute video, thanks for creating. I love matcha too ❤

[@doggman824]

Bennett is loving the Camera he's such a star now.

[@hsoderberg6505]

I suggest getting a plastic container you can use to fill with soapy water to wash your dishes in since you don't have a divided sink. I had a bathtub clog & maintenance (I rent) unclogged it by using a plunger!

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning Alexis happy Wednesday morning and I loved your weekly day vlogs because you are amazing Supporter

[@carolynlandrum668]

I found myself searching for a vlog from you yesterday and all day today. I think I'm a fan! No, I know I'm a fan! Wow, look how much your followers increased since your last reset.

[@alexiseldredge]

❤️❤️❤️

[@jennifermarquez4823]

You are right on the drano. My dad owned a plumbing and heating business- drano eats your pipes!

[@wyckedli]

I love your cleaning videos❤

[@alexiseldredge]

thank you!! 🫶🏻

[@ernurse3699]

Your apartment is super cute!!

[@thenicogeorge]

disco ball planter looks really cool in the new spot! xx

[@ndav]

Buy "the pink stuff" paste and use it WITH the scrubby brush. Life changer

[@janshaw4636]

agree! always better to clean in the mood! xx

[@juliejames3338]

loved this video: bennet is so happy, and yes the ball looks better therex

[@winslow_j]

Always love the vibe of your videos 😌the realistic wave in KZbin right now inspired me to finally start vlogging as well, and your channel has contributed to that, so thank you!!

[@itscarolinemary]

Bennett is tooo cute at 9:03 haha 🧡💛😭😍

[@alexiseldredge]

he is the cutest!!

[@ginagonzalez6547]

Looking at it again, I see it was a chair, nonetheless, you can move the chair over a bit and put the school locker size closet there or make a bookshelf to fit the space. Ikea has them and add ons to put on top.

[@comfyera]

I can relate to going through a matcha awakening and feeling like you need to share 😃❤

[@madeleinesvensson-m3y]

Bennet is the cutest thing ever! The star of the show haha!

[@sailorallie9046]

Okay hear me out 😅 I know you probably don't want to get any new furniture but I feel like a wardrobe would be useful for you cause you only have the one closet! could sell the low cube storage you have next to your bed and then move bookcase/chair there and put the wardrobe next to the front door possibly? I of course don't know if that would all fit properly. Sorry if this is completely unwanted advice :D

[@KeikoNecesario]

I find that our home is also almost always messy because of my organization haha! I think finding a home for every single thing in our home can be huge help so that it's easier to clean and put them all back. Anything that live inside the house that don't have a place really add up to the mess hehe

[@alexiseldredge]

I agree!!

[@PHREYDUM40]

No doubt

[@BethMJones]

Love cleaning & organizing vlogs. I sent this one to our daughter Leah who also has a studio apartment (and 2 cute cats). Bennett’s expressions cracked me up. Cats have to get used to new stuff. Maybe he’ll start laying in it. I want one of those tub scrubbers. I agree that building maintenance should snake your drain or something but they don’t always get to things real fast. Your apartment looks so much better…such a great feeling to be clean! Funny as usual. 😂

[@johnnyc5382.]

Your commercial was TCTE ! ! ! That company needs to hire you as their new cute young spokeswoman!

[@Wildsobermama26]

Love ur videos. I just added the cat tree & scrubber to my Amazon cart😂🐈

That Macha looks almost as good as Malt Liquor! What a great lil place!

[@ginagonzalez6547]

Hi Alexis, good to see you again. You wish for a closet where you can put your cleaning supplies and other stuff. Either you can costume make one or buy one where you can store everything. You might ask where am I going to put it? As you were cleaning I saw by the entrance door a spot. You can either remove the end table where the lamp is and put a smaller one thst will be good enough for the lamp to make room for the floor to ceiling small closet like a school locker wide. If you make it, you can just make small shelves having one go across on the top of the door to go as long as you want it to go. I wish you would've said something when you disassembled the bed. You would've used that wood to make the shelves. I hope you get the idea; I'm trying to elaborate.

[@alexiseldredge]

interesting! I may consider that!

[@yvettehatrak787]

Ty for linking your shower scrubber in your Amazon Store Front. And I think Bennett will end up loving the window bench-mine does kitty 😺 ❤ Would you consider making a video sharing/discussing the struggle to maintain same body size/shape as you get closer to your 30's? You could focus not on diet, but the truth about this and how you've dealt with it, especially in your profession; how despite being very fit and active our body shape/size changes and we have to adjust.

[@Seriinudesu]

Hi Alexis, I'm also 26 and watching your videos every couple of days feels like chatting to a friend :) Keep up your vlog, I love them. Greetings from Germany :)

[@steffney]

You apartment looks great! 😍 and super cozy with fall vibes already 😍😍

[@alemarie239]

I'm looking at your bathroom and wondering you have so much wall space to use for organizing. You doing such a good job for yourself you should be proud of yourself. Granny😂😂😂😂

[@sharacrosby4747]

That’s waaaaay better! 🎉 (the disco ball)

I love Bennets face when you tossed the pillow on the sofa. 😂 He said wtf was that! 😂

[@MAHAN1755]

Drano can also strip the porcelain in the tub so be very careful make sure it goes down drain not on the porcelain. Good for you for attempting to do it yourself.

[@debmalone6091]

Yaaaay sponsorship!! Congrats girl 🎉 so inspiring!

[@Billy33753]

Love your apartment

[@alexiseldredge]

thank you!

[@warmbreeze43]

Put his window ledge lower. It may be too high up

[@kimjones2159]

My thoughts exactly. Looks a bit too high for Bennet to use.

[@coleashlynn]

Don't be scared of draino. Do it before bed or something and close the door for the fumes. The next morning run hot water and you should be all good to go!

[@hospitalcakewalk]

The apartment is MASSIVE, I pay $2k for half that space, no kitchen, shared bathroom and a smaller closet.. and make it work just fine.. but yeah, omfg. It's huuuge. Damn girly. Lucky!!!

[@yvettehatrak787]

Love all your videos! Watch out for the matcha powders if you're replacing w/coffee...it's incredibly caloric

[@andrewstevens2364]

I live in Austin Tx. That same day it was 105 deg not including heat index.

[@phillipray4380]

I think I’m in need of one of those scrubbers. Thanks.

[@alexiseldredge]

it’s linked in my Amazon storefront in the description!

[@lizburrowschapin2871]

Alexis please share where you got that bathtub brush! Why not just get Super of bldg to fix drain?

[@alexiseldredge]

it’s linked in my Amazon storefront in the description of this video! look at the bathroom list!

[@agnese72]

Love the long vlogs after work 😊 If you do an allergy test, try to check for histamine intolerance. My friend had the same symptoms, but sometimes they overlook this. X

[@Savage2548]

Dang. When you said how scary your closet was..... all I could think was damn, mine is waaayyy worse!

[@cozyhilarium]

Where is your sofa from? I love it!

[@gailm1122]

When you said "I have this..." and then turned the brush on, I laughed out loud. hahahaha

[@EveMarieBusiness]

Every time I watch these Bennet makes me want a cat sooo badly

[@purryawnz]

After living in an apartment with the smallest sink known to man, it's now a requirement for my future apartments to have a decent sized kitchen sink

[@janeybakarbessy2330]

Is there a possibility to move and get a bigger studio? Or aren't you looking? But it's always nice to have a clean house. I am a flight attendant so today for me was all about washing, dusting and vacuuming as I was 5 days in San Francisco. So it does feels great with clean bedlinnen and the house!

[@melissariggs7721]

Your drain can be slow not because of hair, but from soap/shampoo/conditioner residue…if Drano is ‘to scary’ at least try dumping a few kettles of boiling water down your drains at least once a month. Also. Just try the Drano…

[@denverdubois5835]

Boiling water and baking soda really works for me! But yeah...the building super should take care of it.

[@alirae7148]

the cat thing looks fine in that window. You really need to hang the frames on the dresser on the wall, they have always looked so awkward.

[@alirae7148]

Also the frames on the dresser probably deter bennet from getting up to the cat bed. not enough jumping up room

[@stefslyfe]

Dude I need that electric tub scrubber!!!!!!! What’s it called?

[@carolynboykin-fyelifeinreview]

I think you should move the cat thingy down lower on the window because he probably won’t jump that high to get in it.

[@richardottley4611]

"a macha awakening" 😅 niceeeee..

[@elizabethcarboni9138]

What does the matcha taste like and does it have caffeine?

[@mommysaver71]

You shouldn’t have to deal with the clogged bathtub. Your building maintenance should do that. The clog could be pretty far down and you will never get it. Let your building do it. That is what they are suppose to do.

[@alexiseldredge]

yeah I probably should call lol

[@katfriedman7623]

I was about to comment the same thing. My landlord comes over and does it for me- no way am I attempting to do that. This is literally why you pay rent :)

[@michelleneary]

I also live in NYC, and my old super would do this for me, but my new super is useless. I bought a snake too and just do it myself. Easier and faster. Sometimes you just gotta embrace the DIY in New York.

[@michelleneary]

@@alexiseldredge Also btw, you're supposed to snake it through to top valve - the part where you toggle the drain to open and close. Unscrew it and take it off and snake there. (Just make sure you put it back on the same way when you're done). If it's feeding in right, it'll go in really far, like 5 or 10 feet. It's disgusting and also satisfying when it works haha

[@ervinsmoviecorner8748]

A very nice one, Alexis!❤❤

[@alexiseldredge]

thank you!

[@deesmellie1928]

You didn’t use the snake long enough you just keep adding more into your drain then reel it back.

[@TheresaInSC]

Try some mr plumber, make sure you let it rest before you flush the drain with hot water.

[@Sudanielacc]

hey. Can I give you a suggestion? Why don't you put the bed on the wall by the window? You'd have more space. I loved the video.

[@monicagomes5823]

Bennett com certeza está muito feliz, ele merece!!! 🥰😍🤩

[@veganfood4you789]

I have the same snake and I went on KZbin DYI and snaked my own shower . That snake really works

[@bbgoesurban]

I think you need to mop too sometimes soon... sorry but here in Italy we are used to do it after the cleaning process!

[@elizabethcarboni9138]

do you have an apple computer - mine is quite old and was wondering what size you have?

[@amlambert]

The cat hammock is too high for him to jump onto… you might want to put something below it that he can use as a step/box where you have all of those frames

[@CynthiaLevy-o2l]

Thank you for reminding me that i need to clean the inside of my oven. I wont tell you the last time i cleaned it. So, thanks again....really.😢

Plumbing issues need to be handled by the building maintenance. It part of what your rent covers.
