It's always good to see people all around the world have to clean permanently. Sometimes I get the feeling that only my apartment gets dirty and everyone lives in immaculate houses without any cleaning effort. 😄 I know it's not true but I think you all know the feeling that social media gives you sometimes

[@cloudyhills]

Our apartment is always messy, esp the kitchen! Sometimes when I'm feeling insane I think "maybe I should quit cooking, then the kitchen will stay clean" 🤪

[@cookiefighterr]

i have tried so many oven cleaning hacks - also the one you use - and i have to say; lemon is easily the best and easiest. Just cut 1 lemon in 4 parts, put it in a bowl (that can go in the oven) with 2 cups of water. heat 200 degrees for roughly 20 minutes - then easily scrub of everything

[@cloudyhills]

Oooooh, I'll have to try that next time!!

[@withlovehj]

Its so calming and healing to the process 🩵

[@miyounova]

For your pleated lampshades, just vacuum! On low power, with the "delicate" attachment, which should be a small round brush. I use that on all surfaces, trinkets, pictures on the walls, my bedframe... So much faster.

[@GodIsLoveEternally888]

the scrubbing paste also works on mugs stained with tea or coffee

[@user-jo6zo6ju9b]

Great tip thanks👍

[@ALittleSeasoning]

Yaaay! New CloudyHills

[@shainah.6388]

This was so refreshing to watch and I am now inspired to clean! We have always lived in clutter and it’s something I want to change!

[@savadi_]

what a good 14 minutes brake.. Love your videos! Thanks for sharing and inspire

[@HerHomeyHomeUSA]

Right. Cleaning videos are so calming.❤❤🙋‍♀

[@kathytorres7310]

Love your videos! Need more about your new pup!

[@iremcmm]

Please keep up with your beautiful and inspiring videos. I always look forward to watch them.😊 ❤For cleaning the lamp: I’d suggest to use vacuum cleaner just as you did clean your drawers. And one more tip: you should avoid putting any kind of wooden utensils (like chopsticks) into the dishwasher. The detergent stays in the wood, and wooden utensils might get damaged in the dishwasher. Experience talking. 🥲

[@cloudyhills]

Now that you've mentioned it, we wash all our wooden utensils in the sink, I wonder why we put the chopsticks in the dishwasher 😂

[@caromurray6152]

Just reminded me that my oven probably needs a clean!!!☺️

[@HerHomeyHomeUSA]

I just cleaned my oven. Right. Cleaning videos are so calming.❤❤🙋‍♀lol

[@cloudyhills]

Tbh I couldn't even remember when was the last time I cleaned ours. It's never too late 😂

[@SB-iw7pe]

Appreciated all the tips in the video, but the ending was the most pleasantly surprising! Enjoying the home you live in!

[@cloudyhills]

The ending is my favourite part too!

[@justathumb]

who would've thought a cleaning video could be so enjoyable! 😊🧼

I have a very dense and soft cleaning brush from Zara Home that I use to clean lampshades and it works really well!

[@abbyreynoldss]

Such a cozy video! Unrelated, but I would love to hear more about your favorite clothing items & wardrobe staples? Maybe more specifically for more a more petite frame too! I also live in Germany and struggle to find which brands work for me and I just love your style!! Love, aus Berlin

[@cloudyhills]

It's rare for me to shop physically in Germany because everything is so long on my short torso. I go for lots of cropped stuff (tops and bottoms) from Zara, or I search the petite section on Asos :)

[@abbyreynoldss]

@@cloudyhills I totally feel you on that! Thanks you for the tips :) Looks like Asos has a lot of great petite options I'll have to try 🫶

[@laraangel6862]

in Italia diciamo "pulizie di Pasqua" poiché come cristiani festeggiamo la resurrezione di Cristo. La rinascita della natura 🌿🍃 del periodo della primavera credo sia comunque l'ispirazione per questa nostra festa ❤ Le tradizioni pagane sono la base per molte feste religiose 😅 Cambiano i nomi ed "il contorno" ma ciò che c'è di importante è comune ❤

[@debranielsen2002]

My mom always loved pleated lamp shades, but she would use a small paint brush to dust them.

[@melaxu2432]

Omg die Nutella? Schnecken zum Schluss sehen soooo gut aus 🥰😍 kannst du uns vielleicht das Rezept dazu geben?

[@cloudyhills]

Das ist eigentlich die Zimtschnecke aus Knack & Back 😛

[@anies2931]

I love your videos! Looking always forward to the next one! Thanks for sharing all your ideas and part of your life! I have one question: from which brand is your water kettle? 😊😊😊😊😊

[@cloudyhills]

It's the xiaomi smart kettle :)

[@anies2931]

[@WingsToStratosphere]

1:20 Could you please tell me where did you buy that ceiling light? I really like your style and enthusiasm for constantly improving your home. It's really inspiring, I'm happy I found you.😊 Thank you for the work you put in your videos.

[@cloudyhills]

It's from Made but the site has closed down :(

Thanks for sharing the eco friendly cleaners. I really love your kitchen cabinets. Do you happen to know who made them?

[@cloudyhills]

It's from Ikea ;)

[@wendyrussell3760]

Love your videos can we have more please

[@cloudyhills]

Trying my very best to upload 3 vids a month from now 🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@iiswansongii]

for the pleated shade....could you take it outside and blow the dust off with compressed air?

[@FilippaSkog]

Please don't use vinegar and baking soda together to clean your pipes (or anything, really). I know it's a commonly shared hack, but it's quite useless. The acidity in the vinegar will react with the alkaline baking soda, and they'll neutralise each other making them ineffective. It looks cool with the bubbles, but you're better off just using water. Instead put a generous amount of baking soda in the pipe and then slooowly add boiling water. The boiling water will activate the baking soda and flush away the grime. I've thoroughly tried this on clogged pipes and it's insanely effective.

[@c.s.4417]

Yeah, I thought the same thing...and thank you for the last tip (with the baking soda and boiling water). Will try that one out!

[@p0up0un3]

I would vacuum the lamp with the sukker attachment thingy

[@tshania_wingu]

Deine Wohnung, insbesondere deine Küche finde ich einfach toll! Leider ist meine Küche klein und ein Durchgangszimmer, was viele Dinge einfach nicht erlaubt. Aber ich habe mir schon einige Anregungen bei Dir geholt um diesen dunklen Raum etwas gemütlicher und freundlicher zu gestalten.

What really changed my life regarding cleaning was finding out about 'Effective Microorganisms'. The brand 'Multikraft' has products for cleaning, but also for the garden etc. The universal cleaner is called "eMC Allzweckreiniger Citrus". With one bottle you can clean for many many months as one uses only a tiny amount mixed with lots of water. I have a 500 ml spraybottle and I only need half a cap of this effective microorganisms liquid per spraybottle. You can clean all kind of surfaces without damaging them. The best part: I always felt, that instead of cleaning one actually distributes all the germs of the sponge or cleaning cloth on the surface. And most cleaners are not environmentally friendly. This cleaner changes that completely! Instead of trying to get rid of germs it simply adds good ones (they eat the bad ones). Effective Microorganisms. You spray the solution directly on the counter and on the cleaning cloth, wipe and know it is clean - no more spreading of weird germs. Wiping the surface leaves all those good microorganisms and that actually even prevents new dirt. And you don't have to wipe off the solution. When using a cleaner you need to wipe again with a clean cloth (using only water) in order to remove the cleaner. That's not necessary with this kind of cleaner. For instance spray the solution on a paper towel and clean the seat of your toilet. The fastest and easiest way to clean your toilet hygienically. It makes cleaning sooo easy and I know my home is clean AND I'm not harming the environment AND I'm even improving my health. They did a test in a school and cleaned one part with a regular cleaner and the other part of the school with those Effective Microorganisms. There were less cases of sickness in the part of the school where they used the Effective Microorganisms cleaners. Check out the brand "Multikraft". They have so many awesome products. I personally use their all purpose cleaner, the one for the bath (Kalkreiniger) and the one for the kitchen to do the dishes. The bottles seem expensive, but as one needs such a tiny amount it's actually incredible cheap. And I only need those 3 cleaners and that's it. For scrubbing I also use baking soda (Natron). I can highly recommend it. It's one of those things that changed my life profoundly as it makes cleaning so much easier.

[@sweetlittlealice1]

Soothing and such a pretty cleaning video , wouldnt have thought I would enjoy it so much. Where are the cafe curtains and rod from, they' add such a lovely soft feminine touch.

[@cloudyhills]

The curtains are from Etsy rstyle.me/+FYG5Gmv0zvMhIMf8rlN9_A and the rod from amazon amzn.to/3UgxIlR :)

Wonderful video, thank you! One question : are these Ikea doors on your kitchen cabinets?❤

[@cloudyhills]

Yes they are, they're the voxtorp fronts in an oak finish

Sehr schönes Video. Organization is love. Die Zimtschnecken aus dem deutschen Supermarkt hab ich direkt erkannt :D

[@cloudyhills]

hehe! They are one of my favourite things about German supermarkets 😆

10:48 Seems to be a good kettle that doesn't have annoying corners or heating elements to clean. Which brand is it?

It's the xiaomi smart kettle!

Hello, I’m curious 👀 please where did you get your clock 🕰️ ? The one on the floating shelf

here! amzn.to/3vWNaf9

[@mayaconstantinou]

Where do you buy the soaps for your universal cleaner? I really want to make the shift from using brands to homemade and chemical free solutions.

[@cloudyhills]

From the supermarket :) The exact brand is Dalli.

[@Asatyba]

May i ask if you are satisfied with the quality of the sink and the cabinets? Planned a kitchen with the items and on the verge of buing or jzst leave the kitchen as is...

[@cloudyhills]

Yup, really happy with them! I did a Ikea kitchen review video not so long ago, you could check that out for more details ☺️

[@Asatyba]

@@cloudyhills thank you very much 😊

[@montmorensi]

Is your vacuum, Bosh? Do you like it? I'm on the market for a new one 😅

[@cloudyhills]

AEG QX9. It's great for everyday vacuuming and pretty light for the arms. But we also have a Miele C3 and that one is heavy duty, it sucks up all the dog hair and the sawdust from my diys 😆

[@bil3jbuhl354]

What a nice and clean home. Like your tradition to wear slippers inside the house. What brand is your slippers ?

[@cloudyhills]

I got mine from Zara last year, it's similar to Birkenstocks clogs but feels a bit softer on the feet and was less than 20€ 😅

[@ElizabethBarone]

What is soap curd? I can’t seem to find anything about it 😅

[@cloudyhills]

it is pure soap made of vegetable fat. I think an alternative would be castille soap :)

[@ElizabethBarone]

@@cloudyhills Awesome, thank you! I want to try your basic cleaner 😍

[@cloudyhills]

If you do, try the vinegar version! I think in the subtitle I said to use either 1.5tsp baking powder or 350ml vinegar. I prefer the cleaning power of the vinegar version but I used BP because my husband absolutely hates the scent of vinegar, even if it's minute 😂

[@janetroberts7614]

Do you put the dishwasher tablet in when you run the cycle with the bowl of vinegar? I didn’t catch whether you did :)

[@cloudyhills]

No, it's just the vinegar!

[@madamemone2719]

Die modernen Backöfen haben alle ein Selbstreinigungsprogramm.

[@cloudyhills]

Unserer hat leider keines 😔

[@katharina1788]

Don't pour boiling water into your sink without turning on the cold water tap! You might damage your pipes/drains (which are mostly made out of plastic - at least in Austria and Germany).

[@Karincl7]

[@p0up0un3]

Has anyone ever looked inside their toaster ? How can it get that dirty when all you toast in it is plain bread slices ??? 😅 And impossible to clean 😢😂
