[@IrisMG]

Nothing wrong with a sponsored video when product demoed is actually useful! I'll look into these or their generic equivalent

[@onelifetamil1449]

Yup👍😊

[@anafloresmendoza4075]

I loved the editing of this video and the different Melissas sharing the tool XD

[@onelifetamil1449]

Yeah it's the editing that kept me not skipping the video😊

[@ritahealy6757]

I just want to know if you have changed your mind. You said in a previous video that you didn't recommend sponges because you saw testing that showed that you cannot completely clean a sponge from bacteria. Also, dawn, peroxide, bar keepers friend.

[@lb9549]

I've been a fan of yours for awhile and your baby is so cute :) just a little feedback though, lately the videos dont seem as genuine to me. We used to get glimpses of you cleaning without make up (which I so appreciated) and I think you looked beautiful without being so made up. Also, the surfaces you are cleaning are already clean!! I just want to share my two cents without being a negative troll ;) but the reason I prefer you tube instead of tv is bc it feels more "real" and I'm missing that with CMS lately. Thank you for reading

[@debashreetudu1]

LB Hey I was thinking the same.

[@yadealone]

As a professional housekeeper. I do enjoy the videos but there needs to be really deep cleaning videos. I do not see how to remove really heavy soap scum from natural Stone showers. I would like to see more heavy cleaning videos.

[@typh2164]

The bbq and oven were dirty before she cleaned them this comment isn't valid

[@monix3]

How could the surfaces not be clean? She is a cleaning expert - cleaning all the time that's why!

[@ALIHUSSAIN-bd8we]

True

[@amysirawsky9922]

So this kind doesn’t leak? The two biggest issues we’ve had (we’ve been using these things for years) is the leaking soap and the head attachments breaking.

[@cleanmyspace]

It does NOT! They tested it and revamped the design because this was a major complaint they were hearing about dish wands all across the market. I've put mine through the wringer - no leaks!

[@scrapjoy]

Using this model in our kitchen for a week and no leaks anywhere. Has a heavy-duty, kinda ergonomic and comfy feel to it, and the head seems more stable on this model. We cook both gluten and gluten-free and scrub between recipes. Soap stays put until you press the button.

[@kathleenbratti9258]

I have the OXO one, it also does not leak, in case you want another option.

[@smokensdevil]

Never thought about using the dish wand for some of that stuff. Thanks!!

[@annalauryn966]

If ur stranded on a desert island do u actually need to clean? Lol

[@RobynZatara]

Dear Melissa, I'm a big fan of yours and of your videos! I found the tips here very useful, but I am also a big fan of minimalism and that applies to cleaning tools as well. Therefore my question is: what is, in your opinion, the cleaning tool that can be used in the highest number of different (useful) ways? Would it be too much to ask for a top 5/top 10 of multi-use cleaning tools? Keep up the good work! :)

[@cleanmyspace]

So that's one of the reasons this is a cool product. When I learned about all of the different heads they had, I thought wow, this is a great way to reduce the number of cleaning tools we keep at home. I like this, as well as microfiber cloths, a spray bottle or two and of course a broom or vacuum and a mop.

[@aakar88]

Robyn Zatara Microfiber is the greatest cleaning invention of this century.

[@aakar88]

@poida Thanks

[@kevinkarnes4067]

@@rubeekay7820 The Scotch-Brite wand has plant based replacement sponge heads, along with regular sponges. Being 100% plant based, they should biodegrade nicely in the garbage. ✌️&❤

[@nancyoffenhiser4916]

Melissa! Was just thinking about cleaning the fridge and your idea is marvelous! Thank you! Clever video, especially outside where there were 2 of you!!!

[@cleanmyspace]

YAY! Thanks! Yeah, my twin hates cleaning more than me so it was a real struggle getting her to participate :P

[@diane8885]

Dawn detergent, vinegar and cleaning rags (old T shirts and terry cloth towels). I have lots of both and want to use them up!!!

[@HowToGYST]

Three cheers for those transitions!

[@floief]

I keep a Scotch-Brite dish wand in the kitchen AND the bathroom. That little bit of extra leverage is surprisingly helpful when cleaning the shower. It especially surprised me on the shower doors!

[@seanny3283]

Loved this! I don't mind a commercial if it's helpful and it was. So many ways to use that I hadn't thought about with self contained cleaner + tool. Gonna try these tips.Thx

[@nephilimslayer73]

If I was stranded on a deserted island, I would want a tomahawk, fishing line and a spark lighter. Who would care about cleaning? 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@molliemae6855]

And what is there to clean??? Sand?!

[@dianamcmahon51510]

Hahahaha, awesome response 😆

[@dianeo]

This looks like it would help if you have sore joints (especially fingers). Do you put full strength dish soap in the handle or diluted?

[@dianeo]

@@BriarRoseA Great tips! Thank you.

[@SingingCrowie]

The transitions are brilliant, really enjoyed them, but car detailers would tell you that brush is too harsh for the rims.

[@juliacockroft8745]

Dawn dishwashing detergent, microfiber cloths and the PamperedChef pan scraper. 😀

[@medawson01]

Never thought to use my dish wand in so many ways. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing. I need to try it.

This really seemed like a Scothbrite commercial.

[@girlfromoz712]

k4kale um, because it was.

[@checkyourlevels]

That's because it is...

[@cleanmyspace]

Well, yes, a sponsored video is designed to showcase a brand. I REALLY like Scotch-Brite and I thought this would be a fun way to share how to use one of their cleaning tools in various ways. There's no way to get around it - they hired me as a spokesperson and I do have certain requirements as part of our partnership and that are required by contract and by law which I have to uphold - but we always strive to make the BEST sponsored videos we can so that you are learning something new. I hope that explains :).

[@amandamcfarren7521]

👏🏻

[@ic3482]

Is she running out of ideas for videos? There are no “hack” in this video. Rather, anything you’d use a regular scrub for, replace with this scrub instead!

[@lindawer]

Melissa, I'd like to see a video of "micro-cleaning" where you pay attention to places where crud builds up that isn't caught during macro cleaning. For example,I use a toothpick around the edges of the press buttons and the plastic shield covering my stovetop control panel as well as inside the vent holes. Another is around light switches and in the crease of the flip switch. Also the underside of drawer and cabinet edges. . .I always feel good after doing these things as I know a guest won't encounter crud unexpectedly. Anyone have other little spots like these they clean?

[@nikereebokpuma3406]

If I was your son, I'd love to clean all those places and more for you!

[@cheriness]

Hi I’m renovating my home soon, and I’d like to know what materials for wall, floors, counters, backsplash, etc you would recommend that are easiest to clean and stay stain free. Thanks!

[@chooleeng7761]

Currently I am using tool.👍 Can wait to see this new type in Singapore 🇸🇬 stores😁

[@Billy_Silva]

4:02 LOL this one surprised me. That’s another level of transition :)

[@melissac.5948]

I'd love to see the bloopers for this video!

3 items I would like to have on a desert island - vinegar, scrubbing toothbrush, and a towel.

I've been using that dish wand for dishes for years. I've been wanting to use it for the shower

[@rebeccalunsford9372]

I love this video, tips, and oh yes that wound. I would need microfiber cloths, clearer and vinegar.

[@jennifercarducci619]

This was the best video - so many easy ways to use the wand to clean more effectively - thank you. I’m going to purchase several and designate uses and mark them with Sharpies!

[@patkern185]

One of the best inventions ever!

[@Penelope222]

I get that this is a sponsored video, but I found it quite useful. My tween/teen girls are now in charge of cleaning their own bathroom and I think this would work well for them - foolproof way of washing down the tiles.

[@danyys817]

I cleaned my oven that way:) with some .... cleaning non corrosive cleaning paste. It cleaned perfectly. If you take the extra step and remove the glass oven door carefully it’s professionalllll:). Cleaning is my stress release. I’d take a broom ( so underrated), vinegar and that stick thing:)

[@kitcobain444]

What a clever video I really loved your editing, you were all over the place with that LOL!! Now three items I would desperately need on a deserted island: water purifier, Pine-Sol or Lysol multi-purpose cleaner [both disinfectants] and a stack of your microfiber cloths!!

[@houseofzubias9443]

I LOVE your channel, and get super excited when I get a notification! 🤪

[@julejustjule]

Wastepaper baskets are cleaned with a dollar store toilet bowl brush. Best ever!

[@MarkAgueVacuums]

My 3 would have to be my dyson v11, Krud Kutter, and microfiber cloths. I love krud kutter because at full strength it's the best degreaser for ovens and grills but diluted it's a streak free stainless steel and glass cleaner and it really is streak free, super versatile and I couldn't live without it.

[@kasra7907]

I use a chenile flat head microfiber mop whith a viniger allperpose cleaner to clean my bathroom floors abd walls abd my befroom floors and walls too i have allergies so i have to disinfect every serface in my bathroom and bedroom in order to not have any major problems

love the video wish we had all those melissa baking soda vinegar and videos of your cleaning hacks God bless have a great day

[@Angie_978]

Ok, if you say it doesn't leak then I'm going to have to try this again. Years ago I had a scotchbright dishwand and the soap was always leaking. I loved the leverage tho, so I just would use a spray bottle with a strong mix of water and dishsoap with it. But it was a pain. So much so that when the scrubhead finally wore out (it lasted a while!) I just tossed the whole thing and didn't buy a new one because it was a pain in the bum to use. But now I'm hoping that they really don't leak cuz I'm going to try one of those brush type ones. 🤞 Thanks for the video.

[@ruksarimtiaz]

I use mine for the bathroom, it is the best tool for bathroom cleaning!

[@calib.101]

Great job Melissa and Chad on the tool tossing, very entertaining. 3 Islands must haves for me- Vinegar, Dawn, Microfiber cloths.

[@iamsusankate]

Dear Clean My Space, Melissa, Chad, & Riley, this video was very fun to watch! I found myself trying to predict each subsequent way that Melissa1 would pass the wand to Melissa2, and vice versa! And it didn’t bother me a bit to rewatch the video a couple of times so that I would learn the tips you were presenting in this video while I was entertaining myself with my predictions! 😁 My 3 choices of cleaning resources: 1. The entire Clean My Space crew ❤️ 2. The CMS crew’s complete cleaning kit 🤗 3. Unlimited showers for ALL of us! 😁

I would love to see christmas shopping, cleaning and decluttering video on next 💛 and the ones I enjoy the most are where you show how to clean or declutter with basics where there isn't all about the product. I'm not from USA so I can't purchase most of those cleaning items anyway. 😊 💛

[@vickicathcart1452]

Great! I have a question, have you tried the "as seen on tv: bettersponge cleaning dishwashing silicone mildew-free sponge"? Is it better than a regular sponge?

[@CCCC-tq8yo]

No

[@mi2092]

The silicone sponge is less likely to have food and moisture trap on the surface so no mildew less bacteria, but is it a better cleaning tool? Depends on how much you scrubbing you have to do. They are not very expensive so it’s worth a try if you are curious.

[@cleanmyspace]

I find those silicone sponges just don't scrub the stuck-on stuff off. While they offer the benefit of being mildew-free and yes, they are cleanable, they just don't clean the same way.

[@vickicathcart1452]

[@catherinealicie3235]

I loved the brush and plan on getting one soon. I didn't know they updated their old product. There are a few things I want to know. Are you using dish soap for all of these tasks? Whatever soap you're using, is it always full strength? I'm concerned about using straight soap on a floor and just wiping it off with your microfiber towel. Damp feet on soap residue? I do love your videos! I use tons of your methods and "hacks". However, I am failing at the decluttering from videos in the past. No idea if I'll ever get to the minimalist home. Mother-in-law and Husband are amateur hoarders lol. They both panic when I start purging and then heaven forbid 2 years later we find a use for something I got rid of. Lol. Keep up the good work.

[@julietannOsfan1972]

I’d take my washing up brush, (I totally agree, they’re great) my Method all-purpose spray & a microfibre cloth.

Touching sponges grosses me out. Using the wand in the microwave is a game changer because I am short and will give me extra reach. Never even thought of using this type of tool on anything other than dishes 🤦.

Excellent music first, or positive thinking.

[@RebelAlliance42]

My raven switch scrubber has brush and different scouring sponge heads too, but the handle is just a regular handle, it's great for doing dishes in a sink of soapy water, but I've held off buying a dispensing one because I've never seen them with the interchangeable heads before, this is a game changer! Thank you 😊 now I just need to find out where I can get one in New Zealand lol Ooh you know what else has revolutionized my cleaning game? Having a wall oven!! They are higher, so they are infinitely easier to clean! I cannot recommend them enough because I absolutely HATED cleaning my regular, floor oven! It was traumatic lol
