Don’t be afraid to go full Scottish on the job! That is part of what makes this channel so unique!!

[@AV-BlackSheepAcres]

Yes totally agree!

[@LTMarshall]

Hey girls, fellow Scot here, and pretty close to you. Get yourself some Tesco's own-brand kitchen spray. I have found it to be one of the best grease-dissolving yet cheap cleaners. It foams when you spray, and if you let it sit a few minutes, it removes a lot of stubborn grease and grime. I bought it to clean something outside that I was not too bothered about. I picked the cheap option. I was so surprised by it that I now buy it as my main kitchen cleaner, and they do refills too. Also, get yourself the pink stuff paste. Anything on white that is not budging seems to be able to get the most out. If you ever need any help with a bigger job, gimme a yell. I have helped clean mental health houses my whole life because of my autistic family (I am ASD too, and much like Mack, my special hobby is turning chaos into calm and cleaning the worst), and my brother owns a cleaning company. I worked for him through my teens and have battled some of the worst hoarding or neglect homes I have ever seen. You, ladies, are doing amazing; keep up the good work.

[@dianebowman3683]

Please don't listen to the negative comments. Its definitely better to hear a friend when you're cleaning.

[@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp]

I am so thrilled for you two! I will keep my comment brief here since I know you already have a million comments to read and that is so overwhelming, especially when you were not expecting it. 😊 I think my favorite thing about you so far is that you are just open and honest about everything you are doing and it's admirable that you are willing to just jump in and help even though this isn't something that comes naturally to you. I'm also glad to have more friends in this space who understand how mentally draining it can be on top of the physical exhaustion. I think I'm always more mentally drained at the end of these cleanings than I am physically. It does take time to recover. Anyway, it looks awesome! My video will be going up in just a couple of hours and will give you another Shout out.❤❤❤

[@fifefreecleaning]

Thanks Bonnie, I'm just back home from holiday and looking forward to sitting with a cup of tea to watch your video 😊 I'm thankful to do the cleans with Danielle and take my hat off to you and Barbie who do all the work yourselves, it definitely isn't easy. We're so happy to be considered your friends 🥰 x

[@Mowzelle]

I actually really like your voice, it's very calm, soothing and friendly. Like we're hanging out having a chat over tea or something. ❤

Mack, Barbie and Bonnie are wonderful people who do such good work for others. I get this same feeling from y'all as well. Great work, ladies. ❤

Someone said you're too monotone but I really enjoy your voice and accent. You've been added to my watch while sleeping to stop nightmares list! Watch out for the house moose & cabinet wolves that are always out to get midwest magic cleaning

[@thecozydh]

Thank you for talking about how cleaning doesn't come naturally to everyone - I definitely feel this way. Watching Mac's videos has really helped me, since he does actually have a few going through the "basics" that most people think everyone just knows.

[@kellyngrey4950]

Howdy! I'm here from Midwest Magic Cleaning. Mack told us about y'all. I'd like to see longer shots or a longer pause of the entire room/area prior to y'all starting cleaning. Same at the end - longer pause to take in what it looked like before and what it looks like afterward. I also would like to see "wider" shots of y'all cleaning. I know sometimes it's hard - like when the bathroom is small - but it gives a better sense of how much y'all are doing and tackling. I'd mentioned on your other video that I like voice overs! I like your tone and cadence. It is calming. I also appreciate your emphasis on "progress not perfection" because it gives folks who may struggle with cleaning/keeping house an attainable example of what their home could look like. Progress is important, not perfection! Sending y'all love and good will from Texas!

[@momtrips6783]

The kitchen looked so bright and sunny when you were done! Well done, ladies! Can you put together an Amazon wish list of cleaning supplies? I'm thinking your subscribers will be willing to help you out on that a bit. If you have dollar stores in your area, I've found that many of the dollar store cleaning supplies do as good a job as the pricier stuff, including their brooms, buckets and mops. I've done a few clean-outs myself, so I know it's very hard work. I'm also not a spider lover, but have found that the gloves give me the courage to go in places and do jobs that I would've never thought I could. Please don't allow the critics to erode your confidence on these jobs. You are doing a wonderful thing by cleaning for free for those that need the help, and the microscopic scrutiny of your methods is unjust in my opinion. Is it better to have a dirty dish, or a clean dish that has gone un-rinsed? How many angels can dance on the head of a pin, and all that...

[@fifefreecleaning]

Thank you for the suggestion, we have now added a wishlist to the description of all our videos, please don't feel like that means you have to buy anything though! Engaging with our content is suppprt enough ❤ x

[@boosadie9]

I'm not surprised that you get the recycle question. Other cleaners have commented on the question as well. I don't think that people get the full scope of just how hard this task is . Someone is always feeling superior I guess. Keep up the great work.

[@melanienewberry2805]

As I watched your video, I pondered how one gets grease cycles on one’s stove. I’m on my way to completing all of your videos. I do watch Mack, but I think your videos showed up on my feed automatically, so the algorithm is working for you. Well done girls. BTW, I don’t think anyone has ever met their demise by not rinsing the dishes thoroughly.

[@wendyb9015]

Found you via the collab with Mack and Bonnie! Love what you’re doing!

[@jenniferlashley2081]

You ladies do a fabulous job! Rather than a professional cleaning service, it has the feeling of friends coming in to lend a helping hand. It's heartwarming and lovely. Your channel has a fresh and different feel to it - don't listen to the critics! Love the motto - *progress not perfection!* Watching the magic from Syracuse, New York USA. 💖

Great job ladies. I also came from Bonnie, Mac and Barbie. You all do a great service for your communities. Your video is great 👍

[@roberttractortaylor]

I don't think it really matters if the cleaning products you're using are 'the best' or what you've missed rinsing the dishes. What you're doing is helping tremendously and it's wildly better than before you started and that's all that really matters ☺️

[@ncfriend5233]

I also found your channel through Midwest Magic Cleaning. As you are just starting out, I am sure things will get easier for you as you gain more experience and hopefully in the future, you will get income from KZbin which will help you buy supplies. The narrator said she was never trained to clean and it doesn't come naturally to her. I have a suggestion about rinsing off dishes. Once a large group of dishes have been washed and placed on the drain board, stop and rinse those dishes in very hot water and put them in a plastic/rubber draining rack to drain. Or stack them on a towel on a flat surface. If you use very hot water to rinse, the dishes will drain dry almost completely and you won't have to wipe them with a dish towel. It saves time and the dishes are more sanitary if they are rinsed in hot water and allowed to drain dry. Just a suggestion. I am enjoying your channel.

[@fifefreecleaning]

Thank you for the advice x

[@zerocasualteas]

[@peaches65835]

I don't understand why people don't use bug spray. Over here in Australia our spiders can be lethal so I always have a supply of bug spray to attack spiders in my home. When my neice moved out of home I gave her a can of bug spray as part of her house warming gift. She says it was the most useful gift ever.

[@bonnieknighton7296]

I'm not surprised that Mack and Bonnie have been so supportive. They are 2 of my 3 most fav cleaners! Remi Clog is the 3rd. I'm so happy for your success so far and looking forward to seeing that 100k plaque! I thank you with all my heart for doing what I never could! You're amazing!

[@fifefreecleaning]

We love Remi too, the way she normalises mess and explains executive dysfunction and chronic overwhelm really resonates with me and struggling with keeping on top of my own home X

[@irenepwheeldon]

🕷🕷 been a cleaner for 40 years and still get jumpy when confronted with spiders. I leave them alone to do their own thing. It will seem hard at first when cleaning, but once you get into it and get experience it will become easier and you will find easier ways of doing things. Good luck, don't give up.

At least it's not cockroaches! 😢 Midwest Magic Cleaning recommended you. Nice to have a UK channel doing this. 😊

[@orlahastings4563]

Excellent, another pair of powerful women offering free cleaning 👏👏. I’m here at the recommendation of Mack from MMC, watching from Ireland. You two are doing great, don’t ever feel the need to apologise for what you do or how you do it. The fact that you are giving your time and energy to those who need it for free is more than enough. For me I really enjoy hearing the stories behind these cleanings and while you have to respect the residents’ privacy of course it does help us to understand and be more empathetic towards people who are struggling. I think that’s one of the reasons why Mack’s channel is so successful- he tells a good story and his videos are very instructive with some humour for good measure! But you find your own rhythm, as I said you’re doing great. ❤😘

[@cyn5490]

Love your videos! I lived in St Andrews , Fife in the early 1970's where our 1st child was born. Would just like to say that in Great Britain (anyway when I lived there) no one I knew ever rinsed their dishes or suffered from any illnesses from not doing so!

No need to explain yourself. I don't see any shortcomings at all. Great videos 👍👍👍

[@user-sz4hz1lj5u]

Another thing. I’m American, but I know that in England and some other countries it is a long-established tradition to not rinse cleaned dishes in clean water. This is a tradition that goes back for generations. My research found that English kitchens were furnished with only 1 sink. So, in this sink went soap and water. Dishes were added, washed, then maybe dipped into the soapy water to remove any obvious soap suds. Then the dish was put in a draining rack or on a cloth to drain. This system has worked for them! If people were frequently getting stomach and other digestive system problems, which we Americans might expect, the process would have been changed. But, very few people have problems resulting from not rinsing dishes. Maybe people’s bodies easily adjust to accommodating the tiny bit of soap residue that remains on dishes after they drain or are hand dried with a cloth. Maybe if you have a compromised immune system, you create a process for rinsing your dishes. I’m just saying that we Americans might not have The Answer for everyone in the world. Cultures see and do things differently. Open-mindedness and appreciation of differences is generally a very good thing.

[@Rebecca.42]

I did wonder if it was done widely in America. I've never in my life rinsed dishes after washing them (Australian) and won't start now 😅

[@carolannpeacock]

I am not sure where you did your research but everyone I know does rinse their dishes - also please do not conflate England with the UK. Inferring people in Scotland are English is extremely offensive to most of us.

Looks exhausting, but I can understand the mental overload too, especially since you were talking with the resident at the same time as you were cleaning. I think empathy and sadness can be emotionally draining.
