What is vlogmas

[@kolokta]

One cleaning company I recommend to everyone is e cloth - think all of their cloths are non toxic and just need to be damp to do their job! I use their glass / mirror kit on my bathroom shower door and all my mirrors (going on 2 years now) and it works wonders!

[@suehenderson2598]

All purpose homemade cleaner, 1.5 cups distilled water, 1/2 teaspoon dish soap, 20 drops essential oil ( I use an organic orange fragrance essential oil) in glass spray bottle...love from Australia 🇦🇺 😀

[@sarahmaurice3930]

Love the direction your channel has gone. I'm all for natural as possible too due to 2 health conditions.x

[@Livingthelifeyoulove]

Me too, i'm feeling so inspired by the new journey i'm on! Sorry to hear about your health conditions but amazing you're listening to your body and supporting yourself with a more natural lifestyle x

[@elizabethgardiner6945]

Hi Kay, I am a self employed house cleaner and I use all non toxic cleaning products including my own homemade solutions. I mainly use the Method range for allsorts of cleaning and it's great that you still get some lovely natural aromas from each product. I too use half vinegar and half water spray for windows and for shower screens that has lots of soap scum on it I use a half water and half fairy washing up liquid which is great for getting rid of soap scum. I use bicarbonate of soda for so many things, a good tip is to use it on a bath mixed with a little water. Loved your video today and your cats are so adorable❤️

[@noodle6754]

Sorry to let you know that Method was bought out and they're not non toxic in the slightest ♡ I can recommend other brands should you wish to make the switch

[@elizabethgardiner6945]

Thanks for that but Method is non toxic, they wouldn't be able to get away with stating it on the bottle if it wasn't.

[@noodle6754]

@@elizabethgardiner6945 Oh dear...goodluck with that

[@elizabethgardiner6945]

​@@noodle6754 Thank you.

I buy isopropyl alcohol in 5 liter containers, and then use a spray bottle to make my own cleaner in, which is 50% water and 50% isopropyl alcohol. I also add essential oils for the scent, I really like peppermint, eucalyptus, lime, or tea tree. I use this mixture to clean my surfaces and windows / glass. For bath, sink etc I use a mixture of 50% water and 50% dishwashing liquid, it is the best bathroom cleaner ever. I use Dettol 30 Seconds for mould, and the cheapest toilet cleaner for toilets.

[@1marya.]

Yes, please make more videos like this one! I also live in an old home that has some issues with damp, no dishwasher, 2 cats that floof everywhere and follow me to demand attention anytime I try to do anything. 😂 It's super motivating to watch someone in a similar situation get their cleaning done. I'm also making the switch from store bought products to making my own homemade natural products. Marissa at the Clean My Space youtube channel has lots of recipes for homemade cleaners of all kinds.

[@saharh88]

We clean our floor with water, vinegar, alcohol and lemon essential oil or tea tree and cleans beautifully

[@carlamatos5358]

Excellent video! Your voice is so relaxing and I love your smile! You are so kind and gentle! Please keep making these videos. Love from Portugal 🇵🇹, Carla

[@sherrymacdonald261]

Great video....wish I could buy Purdy and Fig products in Canada !!! Your home is so cozy.Have a great week !!

[@kimcunningham2107]

Cleaning is therapy! Loved this video. 💖💕

[@rowenaturner9476]

I really like the voiceover style. We have a ragdoll and he loves to join in with cleaning too. He's totally unafraid of the hoover and only moves out of the way when the upholstery tool is more or less on top of him.

[@kellybarfoot8124]

I just loved this style of video...especially the relaxing music and voiceover! For bathrooms and toilets I just use a mix of vinegar, dishwashing liquid and water in a bottle. I sprinkle baking soda in the toilet and then my mixture and it works great. It also works well to get rid of hard water stains

[@alisondavies4889]

Loved it kay, would love to see more,❤

[@ninaestabrook]

Again another lovely and beautiful video. Thanks Kay! I'm wondering if a dehumidifier would help you with the humidity build up indoors and thus stop the spread/growth of mold. I've been using a big dehumidifier in our apartments and Airstream for years and running it makes such a difference to the way I feel indoors. If I were in your shoes I would place a dehumidifier in your bedroom to get rid of the condensation of the windows and to keep the closet dry. Just a thought.

[@frandemianczyk]

Thanks so much for sharing your journey, love your videos! I like voice-overs too, and this didn’t disappoint 😊 The boys are so much fun to watch and they seem to get up to some funny antics! Your home is lovely, looking forward to seeing your Christmas decor! Sending love & hugs to you sweet Kay 🥰❤️❌⭕️🙋🏻‍♀️🎄

[@Livingthelifeyoulove]

I'm happy you enjoyed it! 🥰 Hehe they got very involved in todays cleaning session bless them! xxx

[@Signaturelifestyle]

I find you so inspiring and humble great post 💕

[@stephaniejane1049]

Love this video. I live with chronic asthma and can’t use chemical cleaners etc. I have used natural and homemade for ages. Love that you are doing this.

[@kathrynwhite9108]

Love watching cleaning videos . Our little bungalow needs a deep clean

[@chrissycrazy4]

For the chom chom, rolling it back and forth in short strokes will put more hair in the chamber behind the fuzzy fabric area. I never pick hair off of the fabric that rolls over the surfaces.

[@alicetsab2105]

I like your voice over video's, your voice is calming!!!! The sponsor's of your video..... 🐱🐱🥰🥰🥰🥰!!!!

[@BridgeOfLifeStudio]

Thank you Kay, you inspired me enough to pause the video, clean the mold in my own bathroom (which I have been putting off for a week now), and get back to watch the rest of the video as a reward 😜 I like to use just straight up vinegar for the mold, I find that works the best. For my toilet often use a combination of dish soap and baking soda. That works great for me 😀

[@juliehart6218]

Just a little tip that works well for me-put the toaster onto a tray. This catches loads of the crumbs x

[@chizzler2248]

Loved the cleaning video! I have 2 dogs and one cat so I know how the hair gets everywhere. I always shake the blankets outside before putting in washing machine, to get the hair off. Great that you are using naturally made cleaning products. Greetings from NJ, USA. Your video was a great way to start to a Sunday- keep them coming. Love the kitties too!!😺😺

[@annecross1321]

Really enjoyed watching this video, it's given me motivation to clean. Like you I have just done the windows prior to putting Christmas items on the windowsills. I just use microfibre cloths with water but I will try the vinegar as you suggested as we do have some mould. Thanks Kay.

[@karenschmoutz6785]

I’m playing ‘catch up’ with your videos this morning. Be thankful for your smaller home and its ease of housekeeping. I miss having an apartment that could be cleaned completely on a Saturday morning. Bigger is definitely not better, and I’ve decided that vacumning our house just makes it grow, because it certainly does feel larger every time I run the vac! My cats supervise me when I clean also, and then shed a few clumps of fur when I’m through just to remind me who is actually in charge of this house. Try KILZ paint for the sills to help control the mildew & mold. We use it here in the States in bathrooms.

[@donnaw1306]

Not sure if you have this available or not, but in the US we have something called Damprid. It comes in different sizes and containers, but you set the container out wherever you have moisture issues and it helps to absorb it. You have to throw it out every so often and replace it. I also read something that says you can put a bowl out with baking soda and it will absorb the moisture as well. You just change it out as it hardens. I have not tried this method, but it might be worth looking into. You might be able to put it in a container that you can cover and punch small holes in the lid or something like that if your cats would get into it. Have a great day! You should check out Scandish Home channel. She makes all of her cleaning products and laundry soap. That might help you when you decide to venture into that.

[@ivanahanus5101]

Thank you Kay. I enjoyed your voice over video, and I appreciate your tips. I have also started switching over to natural non toxic cleaning products and personal beauty products.

[@junehulton9776]

Awww love that ...And yes I do enjoy cleaning.... It very therapeutic.i foul watch all day ....your cats are beautiful....full of character.. I Leo used method cleaning products...I definitely use water with vinegar for my windows....my mum said clean your windows if possible in the evening. The windows act like. Mirror and no sunlight.. making streaks..when we little she used windoline....and we used to draw funny faces on it.. You can buy the small dehumidifiers. Ideal for you bedroom. I have a small one in my porch..about £27 it used to be full of black mold...and now virtually nothing..the water collection is good for your plants or even in your iron...so it's a win, win. And better with the mood situation..better for your health. Can't wait to see you next time.... enjoy your week..🙂👍🐱🐱

[@Rou955]

I suffer from anxieties and your videos calm me down it’s simple in a nice way such comforting Thank you - Love from Quebec city 😊 !!

[@barbaramagby3265]

I so enjoyed watching this video and I totally agree about the voice over. Your house is adorable and I love that you encourage everyone to take care of what we have and to be thankful for it.

[@anne-h2012]

I really love the voice over on the cleaning video :) It feels peaceful.

[@shoshanachavab]

Just did a Pad of washing using vinegar and bicarbonate. So proud of you using natural products Looking forward to hearing good news after all your cleaning out. 🌸🥰

[@paulinel.7393]

Such a lovely video!! It makes me want to clean my house too 😊 I am so happy to live in a modern building, it's less charming but to me it means no mold and almost no dust. The weekly cleaning is just so much faster!

[@savvyfeminist4700]

Your videos are so soothing, another brand to check out is Miniml. Looking forward to vlogmas.

[@joanneniven342]

Great video. I like to use ecover, pinkstuff products and dettol plant base spray.

[@sarastewart9056]

Hi there .I use method products I love them and have been using them for over 10years now ,I also use them at work (I’m a house keeper /nanny).I use a defuser with essential oil’s and make different blends ,for Christmas it’s a classic mix of orange ,clove ,and cinnamon,for me.and a big thank-you for recommending the WILD deodorant I love them and can say they are fantastic.noticed the other half using it .think that mite be a good Christmas gift for him .love this style of video thankyou for all your hard work .❤❤

[@Autumn1988]

I started veering off more natural cleaners due to Covid worries and started zoflora-ing everything. Now I use hot soapy water as much as possible and reserve the zoflora for occasional use and for the floor (dog friendly one!)

[@julesa245]

I really enjoyed your video. I appreciate seeing a real house being cleaned with real issues. I love your table, I feel the same. My Maine coon is far too lazy to follow me whilst I clean but he doesn’t shed as much, it’s more like wool strands! I can actually make felt Pom Poms out of it! People think that’s odd! 😂. Looking forward to vlogmas. Have a great day. Xx

[@lynseycobden203]

I love Purdy and Figg. Their citrus scent is my favourite. Was so happy when they asked for a collab on TikTok. Heartily recommend their products. They smell divine. I also love Ocean Saver, Homethings, Neat and Eco Vibe ♥️

[@SaraNovau]

Yes please! Make more videos like this one 🥰🥰 I have really been enjoying these past videos, you are an amazing person Kay 💕💕

[@jomorgan477]

Loved this video. Thank you X I meant to do my pre Christmas clean this weekend but my washing machine died yesterday. My daughter only uses natural cleaners. You have inspired me to do the same. Many thanks Jo x

You're such an inspiration even when I am not necessarily watching your videos for inspiration. Thank you for making content that has such a unique feel, even amongst KZbinr and/or vloggers that have a similar viewpoint and aesthetic to yours. I always end up coming back to your videos after long days.

[@jessicamay5028]

I really loved the way you talked us through your clean-I do get bored sometimes watching people clean with a backdrop of music but it keeps my attention all the way through when there’s lots of talking! Not sure I’m ready to give up my Flash and unstoppables yet but definitely food for thought 👍🏻

[@konstantinakl]

Hello from Greece! Your videos always gets me in the mood to clean my house too. I use a lot of vinegar to clean especially in the kitchen.

[@sjnuttall4511]

Love this Kay! I’m slowly making the transition to more natural based products and makeup so really enjoying watching your transition too!! Looking forward to vlogmas 🎄

This was such a relaxing video to watch. And I’m inspired to try some new things/products, as well as actually doing things that I usually hate doing (cleaning windows 😂). Thank you Kay. Have a lovely Sunday. Looking forward to your Vlogmas videos ❤ Edit: Rory and Echo are stunning! 😍

I just LOVED this video! And your voice over was so calming to listen to=) I use a lot of Pine soap that I delude wt water. Super good!

[@cindythompson3960]

I loved your video today have a fabulous week Kay 😀 😊 💕

[@dreamingmarzipan1166]

Hot soapy water with washing up liquid is so underrated, cleans most of my house just fine 😊 white vinegar I love for mirrors and windows, too. I need to try white vinegar for black mould as the sprays designed specifically for this are so fume-y and I hate using it - do you find it has been very effective?

[@lyndaglenn9042]

You should check out Smol we've been using their laundry and dishwasher pods for a long time now; love them! They also recently brought out surface cleaner (tablets that dissolve in water) and eco sponges that I can't rate highly enough! 🌱🌸

[@jennyjohnson9012]

Thanks for this Kay, always gets me in the mood to clean. Love the fur babies getting involved! I have this too, a fluffy persian who is shedding so much fur at the moment, it gets in my eyes and is so irritating. My other cat a grey one loves to sit and watch me do my face. I think she was a beautician in a previous life lol. Looking forward to vlogmas with you xx

[@icedcoffeeandbrumous]

I love Dr. Bronner! 😊❤

[@chris_perea]

Hi Kay, I'm new here and I wanted to say hi🤗We have two cats also and they follow me around wherever I go😂I use Dropps for the laundry, not sure if it's available where you are but it's pods that dissolve in the wash and come in a recyclable cardboard box. Oh and as an idea: I use a duster before washing any dusty surfaces. I feel like the wet microfiber cloth always smears it around more than getting it off😂Anyway, really enjoyed your video and I hope you have a great day! Cheers from Arizona 🌵

[@victoria_ann]

I loved this cleaning video, very calming and motivating as well.

[@Dontletthemdullyoursparkle]

Great to see a cleaning vlog again! 😀 I like your choice of words to describe life without a dishwasher. Humbling is much more positive than hard. I also don't have a dishwasher, live on my own but the dishes pile up so quickly and I don't know why I use so many cups in one day 😅 like the voiceover style but also other style to me is more relaxing x

[@lisatiptoes]

I do like these videos. They inspire me and I like seeing what others are using. I started my detox journey. I made an all purpose spray. Vinegar, water, and dish soap. I was hoping the scent, orange scent, would lessen the vinegar a little. But not really. But I do like how it works . I did mistakenly buy a concentrated cleaner that I found I cannot use on my floors. Always read the labels. I do use microfiber clothes to clean. I have a lot of them. I also use them on my swiffer instead of buying the refills. It gets up the dust and hair well. Looking forward to vlogmas, but don't do more than you have energy for. 😊

[@loveconnection1118]

I'm using ecover soap nuts atm I love them x

[@hazelhoad4722]

There is a book. In german it called "Fünf Hausmittel ersetzen eine Drogerie". Maybe there is an english version of it?! You will find a cleaning solution for every housekeeping problem in this book. Otherwise you can look for solutions on utopia. Have a nica day!

[@dheffernan9650]

Hi Kay, I tried clicking on your link for the planners as I wanted to reorder but that link isn’t working. The other Etsy links work fine but the planner one doesn’t if you just want to double check it. I’m with you fully on your journey, am battling ovarian c. myself at the moment and it was a shock to be actually told after worrying so I know exactly how you were feeling in that waiting room! I’m so glad your outcome was good and wish you all the best on your new path. xx

[@hollymartinez1911]

I just recently started watching your videos, been binge watching. Just wanted to let you know I have the same hair remover. The proper way to use it is to go back and forth really fast and that little rubber piece on there will push the hair into the holder on the top so you can just empty it. If you look on Amazon they have a video showing you how it works. Hope this helps.

[@lizfield6486]

Love your vlogs. My fave are decluttering as it helps motivate me 😊x

[@dianeovenden]

I alway save the coffee as an award when I finish cleaning. When worked at the dry cleaners we used the metal tool you used on the carpets to debobble jumpers.

Hi Kay, I loved your video, I find it very relaxing. I make my own cleaners and buy some natural cleaners also because of my asthma and allergies, I'm very careful with what I use in my home as alot of chemicals can be detremitcal to our health and wellbeing. Have a great day.

[@marykay4615]

With your pet cleaner, do little back and forth motions it picks up even more hair..

Loved ecover products when I lived in Europe. I also love the pink stuff and the power paste for tougher cleans. Baking soda and vinegar are really good...and lemon too. Madeline Olivia did a video on homemade cleaning products a few years back which might help making your own...would love to see your progress with this 💖

[@Angela-1974]

Yep definitely like this style of video 👍 I use ecover toilet cleaner cos it's a natural plant based one that doesn't contain bleach. Look at Dr Bronners castile soap, it is an 18 in one cleaner. Also citric acid mixed with bicarbonate of soda is something I use to clean my toilet with, so maybe have a look into that if you want to make your own. Check out Blue Ollis, I know in her earlier videos she's got some homemade cleaning products and possibly Immy - Sustainably vegan to 🙂

[@robinwalters1992]

Saw something on Amazon for collecting cats hair. Looks like something you use in the shower to clean the water off the doors except this is coated INT si,e thing which collects cats hairs. Look up mr Carrington.

[@WheezyCatLady]

I’m going to buy the pet hair remover (sofa/curtains) etc. I’ve bought 2 replacement sticky lint rollers this year. Both broke and became useless. It’s a false economy and only adds to the environmental issue. So this is an excellent recommendation thank you. P.S I looked at the reviews and questions for it on Amazon and had a giggle at a customer response to the question ‘does it work on horse hair?’ 😂 check it out if you want a laugh.
