cleaning and making over my super messy laundry room (and more...)

[@iamwindchakra]

Do the repair vlog. People should see items repaired so they know they can do it and don't just throw it out.

[@jadesunflowercat]

I have clothes I need to repair, please motivate me!

[@britneynixon.]

this is a great point!!!

[@evicaf4e]

👏👏👏

[@rebeccarankin9455]

Yesssss!!

[@ang_131]

Agreed!

[@kellyhopchin2922]

I love that you are okay with showing your home when it isn't all perfect for a video. Makes it feel so much more relatable lol

[@jadesunflowercat]

Becky, consider putting those last few important papers in a fire proof box with the hard drive! That's what I do and my anxiety loves it lol. Great job! ❤️

[@carlygoldstein8626]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@TheOneWifNoUsername]

That’s a very solid idea!

[@phangirlable]

And put the stuff on multiple hard drives/memory sticks/cards. If it breaks then it's really gone for good.

[@audreym3908]

@@phangirlable and in different places too

[@artxlife7236]

I need to do this too! My important papers all fit in a binder but you’re so right, they should be in a fireproof box!!

[@heatherfougnie6361]

I love cleaning videos. They make me feel accomplished while I didn't actually do anything lol

[@lesliemoiseauthor]

[@TheSorryGirls]

honestly same

[@sarahg3397]

Lint hack! Each time you clean the lint trap squish the removed lint into a little ball and rub it over the dryer top to collect the loose lint. The lint sticks to itself and makes it an easy clean!

[@TheSorryGirls]

ouuuu!!!

[@camilaolano4084]

LITERALLY CAME TO SAY THE SAME THING WHEN I SAW THE TOP OF HER LAUNDRY

[@Hollyhock7]

That's what I do! It still leaves a sprinkling of debry... but you could also keep a small spray bottle of water and spritz it quickly and use a little cotton round to wipe it

[@IndiaHaven]

Thats what I do!

[@storey662]

And then SAVE that lint ball for starting fires in the fire pit or bonfire! It lights super easily because it’s super dry and it’s not going into the garbage! 👍🏻

[@pw4075]

Consider having the dryer vent cleaned. There may be a build up of lint that is not allowing the dryer to vent properly. This can be a fire hazard! Love the laundry room redo!

[@laurielaframboise9311]

This was my very first thought after realizing that was lint on her dryer and had obviously escaped from somewhere.

[@nessazee]

There’s just something special about a Becky video 💫💛 we’re the same age but I feel like I’m hanging out with my cool babysitter. That’s the vibe 😂

[@ericab1302]

Omg that it totally Becky's vibe! I've never been able to articulate it before 😂 (I am 32 with 3 kids but still...)

[@MeganBecnel]

For real

[@MeganBecnel]

And I'll older (by like 5 years)

[@teresabell1014]

Wow...what a great job with all the paperwork. I'm a senior citizen, so we have so much paper crap. I need to do what you did That will be my next project . Thanks Becky !

[@JlNXED]

I feel like another barn door situation in the laundry room on that wall with the extra storage you pulled the laundry bin from would be cute and help balance the other side more

[@ClaudetteSymone]

Becky feels like a big sister, Kelsey is like a best friend, and Rachael is like the baby sister

[@mojojojo2127]

For me, Rachel has that babysitter vibe that just screams: "I don't know what I'm doing but it'll be FINE!" Also: wine mom energy. ^^

[@TamarLitvot]

This is 3 episodes in one, thank you! I know exactly what you mean about not using things because they’re too nice. Glad you addressed it because that helps me conquer it myself. And as always, Becky, your content is fun, useful and full of warmth.

[@3-kitties-in-our-home]

Becky… by far you’re my favorite “Sorry Girl!” I enjoy your content the most! Your wedding was phenomenal! Plus your… “That cost how much?” Has me so thrilled every time I your up-cycle ♻️♻️♻️❣️ 💚💜🧡❣️🧡💜💚❤️‍🔥❣️❤️‍🔥

[@saragarcia-ex7wl]

Love how the thredup part was a grwm and not just a haul. It’s so nice to see this channel growing into a bigger team of diy baddies we love to see it! Also Becky is so cute I can’t 😭

[@lesleycapul8073]

I love these videos from Becky! I also wanted to mention that as a long time viewer, it's so nice that Becky (and the rest of the Sorry Girls team) do acknowledge the community, such as the question about their cute outfits while DIYing in their videos. It really shows that they're listening and I admire her response since I've always wondered that too :)

[@E42545]

I have been cleaning, off and on for months and months after a series of traumas and one of my biggest hesitations has been using or putting things out that are “too nice.” So I just watched this and put on Pet Sounds and lit one of the “too fancy” candles I’ve been staring at in their boxes and it’s you I have to thank for it 💛💛

[@leilakadribasic]

I love when Becky does these home projects. My favorite videos ❤❤❤

[@woin9361]

3:36 yes, I’d love a blog of the things you have to fix! I have a lot of mending to do as well and we can do it together 💕 Lately I’ve been sewing a straight stitch over the “boob gap” in my favorite button-down blouses, sewing on missing buttons, etc.

[@mathi3933]

I do have a video-idea that I would love to see done by the sorry girls and the sorry girls alone: My mother in law gave me a book about DIY-projects from the 80s. The techniques are interesting - the end-results are mostly HIDEOUS! It would be so cool to see you pick a page by chance - adopt the technique but put a modern, professional and aesthetic twist on it. There must be books like mine in thrift stores, right? I would be very willing to send mine (it's in German though - but that might add to the challenge! :-D). Might have to comment this under every video now because I want it to happen so very badly!!

[@snoufoxxy]

That's an awesome idea! I second that!

[@satan8350]

Up!

[@bethbcrafts]

What we think these videos are for: inspiring us to clean our own spaces What these videos are actually for: feeling accomplished without having done anything Love them. More of these.

[@TheSorryGirls]

😂😂😂😂

[@Dovescast]

I love how they keep it real. Things aren’t always styled and pretty, it can get a little messy too.

[@storiesinthedust]

I am OBSESSED with the black hex tile!! The mix of textures is so pretty and I love the dark grout

[@daniellaemanuele6271]

The tuck on the tank transformed the outfit so cute!!!!!

[@_clur_]

I literally cleaned my entire apartment today, finished, and then watched this 😂 spring cleaning together

[@TheSorryGirls]

love that for us

[@kristinewells961]

Thank you for giving us some motivation for “real” everyday tasks. Not just the fun pretty projects. Although that laundry space! Chef’s kiss!!!🌟

[@TMacIsIntheHouse]

I know it might be more work than you want to put in, but my husband and I closed up a doorway from our bathroom to our laundry room earlier this year, and it's been great!

[@annabeth7913]

the one thing i would do differently is put those cling sheets that are like frosted or whateva on the sliding closet door so that the things being stored inside arent quite as visible at all times but damn i love that lil nook too

[@charisma-hornum-fries]

It’s so amazing storing everything digitally. We also don’t get any snail mail in Denmark besides postcards and online order receipts. I also get all shopping receipts digitally so I don’t have anything in paper. For safety reasons I keep the most important stuff like my passport in a hidden drawer in a foot panel. It has all done wonders for my calm and peace of mind.

[@marm2371]

The laundry room looks really good now. :) Cleaning out the dreaded closets and paperwork helps motivate me to reorganize my stuff. I have almost done all the closets in every room ( over the past 6 months) and I am addicted to baskets as a tool to conceal and keep things looking super neat. I have a few more spaces that need some heavy decluttering so that's on my to-do list this spring or it will have to wait until next winter. Spending the summer on the outside and lounging as much as possible. Summer is short as you know in the GTA!

[@sheilavanduynfote5539]

Becky I always love to watch you do DIY’s on your home and this was no exception I love cleaning videos it gives me incentive to clean. I am on my heating pad for my back, I cleaned my daughter’s house today to make her life easier. I’m retired and I enjoy helping her❤️

[@aemyhenry4557]

You've inspired me to FINALLY backup all my photos onto my external hardrive! Would love a video on clothing repair!

[@MauRawr14]

The glass vase thing is a watering can. You put your hand around the curve and its really good to water your plants

[@luciaplesko]

I love it! I would hang some art on left wall, just to cheer me up when doing laundry 😅 But nook itself is beufitul and the tiles are *chef's kiss"

[@sydneexo]

The laundry room looks absolutely AMAZING. I loooooove how it turned out! As for the scanning of documents - I'm a teacher and have SO MANY paper copies of things from over the years and I've been trying to convince myself to digitize them for nearly a year but it is just so daunting to start. I very much wish I could accomplish it in one go, but it would be impossible so I haven't started. This has reminded me that things take time!

[@cynthianelson7401]

A little tip get a little hand held cordless vacuum that plugs in to the wall and lives there in your laundry room. A one minute quick clean after you dry your clothes will keep this space fresh always.

[@simplyamandarw]

I totally do that too with my candles! They're so pretty and as soon as I light them I get anxiety about them being gone forever :(

[@krisscoss8907]

DIY microwave heating pads are actually really easy to make. I recommend using a fat quarter of a heat-safe fabric (natural fibers) and 1-3 pounds of dry rice. Just sew a rectangle and fill it with with rice. Maybe add a couple seams in the middle to help lower amounts of rice sit evenly. It’d be a good project for TSG to tackle in one of their easy diy gift videos. I got a nice pair of Dr. Scholl’s shoes from thred up! And some nice dresses and peasant blouses.

[@alicejump2290]

Made me aware that we all struggle with messiness! Laundry will never be the same! Blessed and safe days!

[@jillw5954]

Love the cleaning videos - nice to listen along while i get some cleaning done. Appreciate the transparency with the laundry room!

[@TheSamSamShow]

No offense to the other girls- but Becky’s smile is just so heart warming and she is always so positive!

[@ally5279]

they are all positive?

[@jrose37]

Becky's videos are my favourite, especially the clean with me !

[@BackpackChickun]

Timing on this video couldn't have been any better for me! I've been procrastinating organising my laundry room today and it was the kick in the behind I needed to get it done. Thank you! Good vibes restored. 😌💓

[@bluidkylenej]

Heck yes. Been a fan for a while now and this is by far one of my favorite videos. Thank you for keeping it real, relatable, fun, and practical.✨ You guys inspire the heck out of me! ✌🏻🥰

[@andreafield4076]

Would love to see some small space/renter friendly/budget friendly DIY and makeover videos!!

[@GooKie18279]

If you have an iPhone, the notes app has a “scan documents” feature under the camera icon - super easy and doesn’t need a separate app!

[@morganbaughman1475]

Yes!! There could be TWO vlogs on mending items in your closet (various Materials and techniques would be so helpful) and household items (torn pillows, curtains maybe, blanket holes, scrap fabrics into reusable items (napkins, dish towels, patches)

[@jnorman20]

love the quick refresh in the laundry room- those dark hex tiles and the paint in that cove looks AMAZING! Cleaning vids make me feel productive! (off to do some cleaning of my own now!)

[@ashleynilsson8693]

Just tackled a king size bed pile of laundry while watching this video, thanks for letting us clean with you!

[@lismarienatal]

My old dryer had the vent on top too, I hated it for that same reason, the lint went everywhere. My new one has it near the door so so so much better!

[@leighirvine]

So happy it’s you Becky! I love all of team SG but you are my very favourite ☺️

[@lukeminor6272]

I'd love to see a video of the different things you have DIY'D on the channel and how they held up. Sort of a before and after type thing.

[@Ash-xx5zd]

A Danny cameo!!! All we need is Aaron and it'll feel like the good ol vlogs. Miss his humor. And you're just fun to watch. That black tile moment... 🥵🥵🥵 absolutely amazing!

[@bethstie]

THAT LAMP IS EVERYTHING

[@impalalilie]

Beckys cleaning videos are mm absolute favourite to watch! She is so honest and our level of mess is the same as mine :)

[@brandipalmer29]

I’ve shopped at thread up many times, but it’s been awhile. This video inspired me, I’ll be heading over as soon as I’m finished watching. Seriously the first time a sponsorship actually worked the way it’s supposed to. ❤️ you!

[@Hollyhock7]

I've loved everything about ThredUp, I've bought 3 different times and definitely will start another order soon. Summer clothes!!

[@isasaw]

I’ve been putting off my filing system as well. This might just be the motivation I need to tackle it.

[@t4me7]

I also have a lint trap that makes a mess every time I empty it. I bought a cheap, knock-off Dust Buster type vacuum that I keep hung on the wall in my laundry room and it's primary purpose is to vacuum dust and lint off the top of the dryer 😂😅

[@krickette5569]

It's SO good to see you on here again Becky!

[@jennyc5631]

U just revamped my laundry room (not fully finished) and I am soooo inspired by your accent wall, I'm bout to get back to work on it 😍😍 my washer & dryer unit looked pretty similar to yours and my humble opinion is to take the plunge and upgrade your unit! You can even find w&d sets on offer up, new models are much more energy efficient!!

[@aliciadelasmaravilla]

Yesss! It came out amazing. Thanks for showing the raw version and the new version.

[@annettemurielle]

I am SO impressed. Love your laundry room! Love the whole digital filing thang! I am inspired. Thank you!

[@laurenragle5228]

Okay, so this was so amazing. I've actually been needing to clean / organize my space for a WHILE. My entire apartment looks like chaos and it's not great. I spend so much time away at work that I never have energy. But your video makes it look so easy to just calmly tackle a section at a time. I really needed the encouragement. I'm definitely saving this video to play later when I start tackling my sections. Thanks so much! Also, 100% do the repair vlog!

[@Thejessicagladys]

I’d hang some black curtains! Still a lot of white so it would even things out, but ouuuuf i love the black tiles and wall 😍

[@justtryme2020]

I LOVE this! The laundry room is gorgeous and I'm so inspired to go digital and escape the mountains of paper in my house!

[@kathybeck5957]

I do very well with my nighttime drink cup situation. I use my Yeti. I put ice water in it before retiring to the bedroom and in the morning, there is still ice in it. Love my cup!!!

[@MagdalaPorter]

Love that you went with navy for the grout Becky! Love the hanging rack too. I have so many items I can’t put in the dryer. 😅 My FROST from IKEA is too big for my needs and if I had only thought it through I probably would have gone for wall mounted like you.

[@beccaa2919]

The dark grey tiles and paint look amazing!

[@charlottekendall]

Love it! However, the white drying rack was cute and seems way more practical!

[@jellibean011]

I bought one of those brother scanners a few yrs ago and it didn't work. Was so mad...you made it look so easy. Tile job looks great!

[@britneynixon.]

please film a video of clothing repairs!! i love those types of videos on your channel, filming unconventional tasks that actual have a purpose, like i have my own pile of clothes that need repaired!

[@ky3139]

Love the document scanning idea! I think that scanner and hard drive are perfect because they won't take up much room. Next purchase!

[@mackenziefrith7175]

you should get a fireproof safe for the documents you kept! House fires are way more common than people think and its nice to have those files protected just in case:)

[@taheera8849]

My mind is blown how that laundry looks brighter and whiter with the dark tile and paint! Shows what a good accent moment can do for a space!

[@abigailn4968]

I would love to see Becky upcycle challenging vintage 70s pieces! I want to upcycle some myself, but what is available in my region (BFE Louisiana, USA) is honestly some pretty bent up pieces. So, I just really wouldn't even know where to start aghhhh

[@NanetteStein]

Oh my gosh I LOVE that black tile! That wall looks so GOOD! And I’m getting that scanner….

[@Zoomawt]

Just came home from a long tiring day at work, this is perfect to watch while taking a rest 😚

[@MollyFiddler]

Same! Had a shower, wore my clean pyjamas and clicked on the video!

[@chairisma6055]

love the hutch becky!! it gave the depth and contrast the room needed 🖤 and the teaser this week is so good im looking forward to the next video

[@gabrielmaroto18]

2 cups lol water the elixir of life!

[@robynw6307]

Agree with Ashleigh Sanders - do the clothing repair video. Also looooooove the laundry.

[@helloemilymills]

I'd love a vlog on the repairs! And to solve the bedroom cups issue, my husband and I each have a water bottle that we carry around the house. No more cup clutter, and far less washing up! 🙂

[@lisahorn8184]

You should look at getting a fire proof box for the important papers!

[@sassfireluna659]

Life hack for dryer lint dust... when u clean the trap use the "handfull" of lint that comes out of the trap to wipe over the top and all the lint dust sticks to the lint in ur hand

[@bukancinderesa6937]

Thats so georgeoooooouuusssss ! You just need to add led stripes or another lighting to light them up on the black part♥️♥️♥️

[@beautyapain]

So i saw a hack that you can change the opening side of the dryer door! Just thought you share it may be easier for you to put clothes from washer to dryer!! ❤️

[@shelleyelise8963]

I love love LOVE the clean with me videos!!! I struggle with upkeep and it really helps me to put these kinda videos on in the background. Id love to see Kelsey and Rachael take on this style of video, a cleaning and maybe one small update kinda video. Seems like its always Becky doing them which I love but it would just be fun to see the other girls try it!

[@truckerbrat7005]

THe laundry room looks sooo good, loving that tile! Tip: use the dryer lint as a duster on top of the dryer to pick up scattered lint... it kind of sticks to itself. This technique keeps the lint dust to a min.

[@carlyriley4144]

First of all, we’re in Becky’s home which for some reason is my fave! But thennn.. THAT BACKSPLASH 😱😱

[@aiangalang8452]

cleaning and organizing videos always get me to clean and organize something in my room! haha i dont know what kind of magic it is but it happens. haha love the refreshed laundry room btw! the tile is so perfect!

[@LaineyBug2020]

You could put some screw hooks in those beams in the laundry room, then you could trail some greenery and fairy lights through the ceiling and make it magical!

[@rocioiribe5841]

50% of my wardrobe now is Thred Up and it's changed the game for me. it's so much easier and you can find anything you're looking for. and on top of all of that, you save money! and the new Shop By Outfit feature is one of my favorites!

[@beywatch10]

i’m sorry. i haven’t even finished watching the video, but becky’s hair looks ✨AMAZING✨

[@KasSommers]

My filing cabinet went about five years ago. Now I scan documents with my iPhone, using Scannable. Then they are saved to Evernote which synchs between phone and laptop. Free software and I don't have another gadget to store.

[@Eleese__]

Loved this!!! I’ll definitely look into turning all my docs into digital format!!

[@AnnaYV]

I would really like to see you repairing the clothes. I’ve recently learnt to use a sewing machine and would love to try repairing on it. It’d save me so much money! Fab video as always Becky, thankyou 💖

[@leelulady2010]

It would be a good idea to put in a small handheld vacuum in there for the lint trap dust.

[@sunalbum539]

This is the energy we all needed! Spring cleaning inspo. Also this color is a dream 🤩

[@kathryngal3]

Paper is my love and nemesis all at once. I have SO MANY letters and notes that I just can’t get rid of, and “important” papers of bank statements, medical bill receipts, and taxes(!!) dating back at least 15 yrs. (Probably more like 25). You’re giving me inspiration- but I’m still terrified. Ahhh!

[@heleneboudreau1050]

A great eco alternative for laundry detergent is laundry strips! I love them and less/ no plastic waste! 🥰

[@enailu86]

I liked this kind of video a lot. It was so versatile. I would love to see how you repair your clothes.

[@shaunparadis2204]

Beckie you’re awesome sharing your life and the truth about the cleaning is really very cool

[@3rdgrace]

It was literally a summer job for me to digitize physical files. Not recommended but I listened to a lot of audiobooks!
