I love watching such an adorable young lady teaching me cleaning tricks I wished I known then but am glad to be learning now that I'm over 60.

[@nicolebrown8041]

Thanks for another amazing video!

[@cayteer]

Hey Melissa! Here's a tip my mother taught me. Always quickly sweep over your carpets with your broom before vacuuming. You will have hardly any hair caught up in your vacuum! Loved this video!

[@seylerfam7025]

Caytee Rodgers that's an awesome tip! Thank you!

[@ANNPOLLARD1967]

Caytee Rodgers Helpful tip.... Thank you.

[@coffeenerdgetshappy]

That's what I was told too! I do it all the time, and it really makes a difference!

[@BettyBird]

Broom is a good start,then a pair of black reusable rubber gloves for all the hard to reach places,then a squeegee if you want to get all the hair without turning your vac on.

[@robertbeacham6286]

Hello Melissa , please show me how !!! I’m only one ☝️ man !!! I couldn’t multiply myself to 3-4 men !!!

[@Sharkster32]

Regarding the micro fiber towels, I use many of them detailing our 2 cars, so I bought a bag of like 35 MF towels and because I have so many now, I can wash them, and only them, on a low heat, medium spin speed cycle. For drying them, the best method for getting them all fluffy again like new, is to put them into your dryer on a low heat cycle. the heat will dry them, and the tumbling of the dryer fluffs them up like new. Oh and btw, our house has never been this clean before I started watching your videos Melissa. So both my wife and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts, for putting the time and effort into filming/producing top quality guides.

[@cherknovky]

Greg Norton hello Greg Norton , regarding the microfiber for the car I noticed that I never been able to remove the dirt completely from it even if it's cleaned in the washing machine with warm or hot water , do you have any idea how to overcome this issue to have almost clean new microfiber

[@BettyBird]

I've earned lye soap removes the Buffing compounds from them. I get them wet then rub the bar on and scrub with a stiff brush like a nail brush. It might take 2 or more tries to get it all out. And ammonia will remove carnuba just like you’d use it to strip wax from floors.

[@laurenattwood8238]

Atef Raia i know this is an old comment but the best way i know how to clean them to get them like new is i like to wash them and then once dry i like to put them in boiling hot water again and leave them over night and you wouldn’t believe what comes out ! and i also use like a free and clear detergent !

[@BettyBird]

@@laurenattwood8238 I do this with my kitchen towels it really is amazing what comes out. The old pre washing machine days they overnight soaked then boiled next morning and beat with a stick how easy we have it!

[@googiecool]

I can't believe how much fun you make of cleaning! In Spain women are obsessed with cleaning and young women hate it as our mums and grandmums are (believe me) insane about it. But I'm learning a lot about it with you and gives me a whole new persperctive. Thank you, Melissa and Chad! :D

[@dawnfaddish5859]

Use a seam ripper to remove hair from vacuum roller. They'll get under tightly wound strands that are hard to get under.

[@ANNPOLLARD1967]

Dawn Faddish Never would've thought of that.....Thank you.

[@svetlanaduray4953]

I totally agree. Seam ripper (a sewing accessory) makes hair removal from vacuum heads very easy.

[@BlueberryFundip]

Lol that was my job as a child for mother

[@monicasolomon7757]

Instead of using a pen to get hair out of brushes and such, I use an old comb. Gets the job done quickly and thoroughly.

[@AyooFreshie]

The rat tail comb is 👌🏾

[@cleanmyspace]

HA! Something is making you high, and we're going to go with the good feeling and not the products :P. Glad you found the channel and thanks so much for your kind words! I am thrilled that you've been inspired by us.

[@tonywang7933]

OMG, this is totally great. someone finally knows the science and proper cleaning tips. can you make a summarizing video about general cleaning tools and cleaning steps for newbies like me? i mean, like do laundry first - > bath room -> kitchen, i have no where to start

[@eagleeyesmith2537]

This is great thanks, hey any tips on cleaning dust pans, standing dust pans, plastic laundry basket tall and short hip style laundry basket? Ty ty

[@lorenacrespo145]

You are amazing. You make cleaning a fun thing. I lean half of my house according to your tips and videos. I'm so exited to start the other half. Spring cleaning is now fun and not a torture. Than you so much!!!

[@cinnemex]

I never knew cleaning could be so entertaining. You are really fun to watch. Now I'm actually kinda excited about cleaning my big home. It's like a part time job and it's still not clean! I was getting quite discouraged but now that I found you I feel like it's not so bad. Thank you adorable cleaning girl!

[@hi.moriarty]

I use a stainless steel dog comb to work out the grunge, hair and cat hair that builds up in my hand broom, long broom and the bristles on the end of my little vacuum head. Works wonders!

[@saram8139]

I think the tool you wearing thinking about to remove hair debris from the vacuum brush roller was a seam ripper. It's commonly used in sewing to cut through thread. It works really well for me and easier than scissors.

[@perpetuallylove]

Melissa Maker, I can listen to your voice all day. I love your channel! Made all my homemade cleaners and saving a ton of money. Love the vinegar in the laundry and it also has helped from having pilling from sticking to other clothes which is amazing because I have those really fluffy dog and cat blankets and they use to always mess up anything else in the laundry (and each other because we're washing like items with like items). Thank you so much, Melissa!

[@EveKoivulan]

Your channel is no doubt the most useful, yet fun to watch ones on KZbin! Thank you for it, awesome job!

[@NatalieG427]

Also really Important to immediately empty out your Vacuum cleaner when you are done vacuuming. Especially if you have pets. I knew one person who had 15 cats & about 5 dogs & when she did finally clean her house a little, she would never bother to empty the vacuum. The result was she ended up breaking that vacuum cleaner with all the filth it had to try to work through. I think she went through about 3 vacuum cleaners.

[@شاشةالمسلمالصغير]

I tried cleaning sponge in the macrowave and the result was amazing ! Thank you !

[@lvega5606]

Your cats are so precious. And Molly is worth the extra pet hair maintenance.

[@robinq5511]

I tend to use micro fiber cloths for just about everything and you have explained why I am unable to get them clean - Thanks!

[@danniosgood1362]

OMGosh! You're so stinkin funny! Clean my space is definitely my favorite place on youtube, for real! I love the tips and good humor as well as the hilarious special effects! Before, I just "liked" cleaning, now, I love it! Kinda like John Denver except instead of sunshine making me high, it's the way my house looks when I'm done. (or maybe the products I use, either way, works for me lol).

[@mrsteresa1999]

I am impressed with all the information you have to share that I have never considered. I love you channel! Keep all the great information coming!

[@cherlubavitch]

to clean my broom i put baking soda in bathrub run hot water and clean bathtub which cleans broom same time :)

[@careykurtz2559]

I use an old "rat tail" comb to help get hair out of brushes, brooms, & vacuum rollers. The comb part works to lift the bulk of hair out & then use the tail end to pick out the last bits/stubborn stuff.

[@MichCoccaBene]

You have been an absolute Godsend!! thank you thank you thank you and my house thanks you! I love all your tips and vids, cant get enough! xo Michele

[@levonsynclr9805]

really love your videos, and have learned evrsomch... I am a nurse, and couldn't help cringing when you cleaned your vac filter and roller bar without gloves, so quidditt!!! But mostly your vids rock.

[@ANNPOLLARD1967]

Melissa, you're videos are so awesome. You always have valuable tips and I thank you 😊

[@soytaina7413]

Aaaaaah, every time I watch your vid i have to start cleaning...off I go. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@marilyn5688]

I too have a Dyson vacuum cleaner. Several times a year I take the container out to the back yard separate the inside cyclone piece from the container and blow them both out with my yard blower. They can both also be rinsed out with hot water afterwards, just make sure that they are thoroughly dry before using the vacuum.

[@gr33n3ggs4]

Big thanks for this. Probably should of paid attention in Home Economics.

[@kediyedi]

my 5 year old daughter loved your spells, she was so amazed :)

[@p1gbbong]

this channel makes me so happy. LOL

[@wendyp8488]

Thanks for showing how to clean a vacuum. I'm going to start scheduling this for my own vacuum. Very helpful!

[@GlobalResonanceDance]

Loved your creativity and silly humour in this video - it was lots of fun =)

[@vincenzo00]

Hello Melissa 😊 Thanks for all your very informative and useful videos !! I have a question: Based on almost daily usage, how often should the mop head be changed? The areas being moped are kitchen, bathroom, entrance hall and lounge diner ca. 100 sqm. 😊😅

[@nfv1023]

I highly recommend a "rainbow" from rexair for a vacuum. It is water based and does not contain a bag, which holds a lot of bacteria. Once you're done cleaning you simply throw away the water. It also can be used as a air purifier. I will say it is pricey but you won't regret it.

[@TypesALot]

I recently took my vacuum apart to fix a broken fan belt. I thoroughly cleaned the entire machine, and now it acts like it is brand new! I was astounded what it picked up.

[@lorenacrespo145]

Yes, I saw the blog and already start using your list. Thanks.

[@pogomop8887]

Thanks for another great video. To maintain maximum effectiveness Microfiber should be washed in cool or warm water. The dryer should be set on the low temperature setting. Some microfiber can handle more heat than others, check the manufactures recommendations.

[@EarthAngel04]

Omg I like your cat, so fluffy, really helps specially knowing that u have to clean the brushes once a week, hoovers twice a year to soak the tools,sponges does get smelly so I never leave them in water as some people do,i throw away more often,i prefer using scourers, thanks u are really good

[@damianasmith]

I always buy the washable mop like o'cedar i also get some looser dust and dirt particles out the broom by sweeping the edge of my front steps then use the water hose to rinse the rest and let dry after taping the extra water out

[@pinapplemangobananna]

One trick I know to cleaning spunges is to lay them out in the sun for a few hours. The uv rays will disinfect and deordorize. Havnt tried it yet....since its winter obviously, but I will!

[@rumana8463]

Hi Melissa, can you tell us how to clean a sponge mop? Thanks! I am learning so much from your videos and they are extremely motivational! It's much favorite KZbin channel of all

[@blackbutterfly233ify]

rumana8463 she has a video on mops

[@Alexwalker210]

I have a Dyson vacuum at home and found a way to remove the rotating brush from the power head for easier cleaning. Now ours is an upright dyson ball so it may be different then yours but I thought I'd let you know of my discovery (yes I only found this out last week )

[@marcellagamble5350]

Thanks for your video. You gave me some great ideas, on how to keep my broom and mop clean.

[@msAmerethioqueen]

Love your tips and tricks! If only I can began to actually use some of them! Lol! Thanks for sharing!

[@Norashima17]

Dear Melissa, where can i get that oxy powder? is there any other alternative other than oxy powder?

[@naziaayyaz1320]

Love watching your videos

[@jstiko8809]

What temperature should you wash microfiber cloths? Also, what about toilet brushes? Do you wash them with your other brushes and if so, does that disinfect them efficiently? Thanks!

[@wpgmistyh2o]

Thanks for the great video as always. Do you have any tips or videos on how to make the washing machine smell better and the dryer smell better to?

[@missie190]

You mentioned not using fabric softener for microfiber cloths...I recently starting using 1/4 cup of vinegar in the rinse cycle instead of fabric softener. Since reading that it not only softens but disinfects. I would like to know what your opinion is on this substitute and if it would still be ok to use with the microfiber cloths without damaging them the way fabric softener would.

[@michaelsylvester7272]

I like your tips and your handy magic wand. Thanks for sharing.

[@roidroid]

you use the cleaning tools to do that. IT'S THE CIIIIIIIIIIRCLE. THE CIRCLE OF LIFE

[@JipJDB]

7:15 a seam ripper also works as well...

[@Rubi_in_paradise]

Am I able to substitute Oxiclean with vinegar and baking soda and dish soap?

[@MrsMarquez2008]

Omg. Thanks for making this video Melissa. I've got to buy new microfiber towels and clean all my cleaning tools before i get the stink eye.

[@Goober5005]

I love this!!!i have a request though......I have tile like backsplash.its not grouted or anything.i have lots of trouble cleaning it because i pick it up and shake the dirt out of it.this leads to tiles falling of the netting.Do you know anyway i can clean them without the tiles falling off???

[@leoric21]

about 3 years ago the local news gave the same advise on how to clean your sponges in the microwave. the next day they received complaints 3 small fires and someone lost the whole kitchen in a fire. they used sponges with metallic scrubby sides that cuaght on fire. just saying

[@savedbygodsgrace8016]

You can find a seam ripper in the crochet / yarn aisle. They are great for removing hair from vacuum bar.

[@KarolinaBernolak]

Just cleaned my broom head this video help im also used the pillow cleanings , bathroom cleaning video

[@jelly4686]

I love how she just yeets every tool

[@katie123456789ist]

I use a seam ripper to get hair off of the vacuum cleaner. It works as well as stirrers but doesn't cut up the vacuum

[@YR7A]

seam ripper works great on the vacuum head.

[@millsfamily8257]

Thanks for the great tips

[@lilliankast76]

can you show how you would clean your carpet shampooer or even the hand held version? please :) mine is getting so bad with let's and puppy training.

[@cutie25cc]

Hi Melissa I love ur channel. Ur videos has show me alot. Thank u

[@NatalieG427]

When I Googled about microwaving the sponge, it said 2 minutes should be enough to kill most bacteria.

[@glitterbug106]

You can use a seam ripper to clean out hair/strings!

[@7352M]

Please do a video on how to clean a smelly High Efficiency (he) washing machine. Love your how to's, thank you!

[@gplizzy04]

Thanks so much, Melissa! Your videos are truly amazing. :)

[@RosieGamgee]

was the special tool for the vacuum hair removal a seam ripper? i've heard that before. you can find them by the sewing stuff and thread at a store. the scissors would probably work just as well if not better though,

[@ayala7282]

Hi Melissa thanks for all your great cleaning videos and tips. Is there something else I can use instead of Oxy powder since I don't have that on hand?! Ty

[@jwhite5704]

I have a sponge mop. What is the best way to clean

[@erika_7777]

I pour leftover boiling water from making tea over my sponges. I can do it without any extra effort, as often as I want, and I don't have to touch it.

[@sherihoulden2127]

that's exactly what I do!

[@PurpleNinjaPwr]

You just blew my mind. I'm going to be getting an electric kettle that at minimum will boil more water than I'll need for myself so this is a perfect idea!

[@nehathaparfrancis4942]

How to clean kettle Thanks for awesome video and tips

[@jonathancarter5710]

A great way to remove that dried on greasy hairy stuff that some brooms acquire from high volume kitchens is to go outside to asphalt,and just sweep. The hotter the asphalt the better,you might look funny sweeping the street but you'll be laughing at how fast and effective this technique is ;-)

[@jonathancarter5710]

Hey thanks 8)

[@MrsPotatoHead1993]

JONATHAN CARTER wouldn't that just bring outside dirt inside?

[@infiniteemerald7236]

Has anyone tried this??

[@mamalv1]

Yes I've done this for many years........ works with sweeping on cement too

[@monicasolomon7757]

V L I agree: cleaning off a dirty broom on a white, clean sidewalk has always seemed more effective somehow...!

[@mariamohammad1993]

Is there any other way to clean the mops? Because I feel a bit weird washing them in washing machine and then washing my clothes/under garments in that same washing machine....

[@ElijahWitDaSoul]

I'm a guy and I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!

[@jennifer_freitas]

You should write a book with all these tips! I would so get it : )

[@Elizabeth-qs2sg]

Love your channel.great tips.

[@kimberlydiehl66]

Hi Melissa, I love your videos. You do a great job of making cleaning fun. Can you tell me how to clean your toilet brush? Is it Oxy powder in a bucket just like the other types of brushes you demonstrated?

[@OhWhereIsTheeNite]

Very helpful video! By the way, since there's a lot of snow now in Toronto, I was wondering if you have any advice of cleaning off salt stains from the carpet of the car and the entrance of the home?

[@katelynk4497]

I love the explosion effect you added to this 💜🤩

[@EyrtheFyre]

You can use shampoo for oil and grease. I used it once on a baby oil stain on my nightgown and it was gone.

[@MsCameoLover]

So pretty ☺️ but yes thank you, I needed help on how to clean my broom.

how to get rid of mold in the wardrobe????? please i need a help on it!

[@Goober5005]

@ cleanmyspace Thanks!I dont have any degreaser but ill buy some and try it out.

[@Joani161]

F.Y.I. Do not launder microfiber with cottons or anything that sheds lint as it fills the fibers of the microfiber and make the cloths less absorbent. Air dry is best or low heat, do not let them remain crumpled in dryer. There are special restorers for them.

[@julie-laurebernard3278]

Hi Melissa, I love your videos, they're so helpful! I was wondering if there was another way to clean a sponge because I don't have a dishwasher or a microwave, and my sponge has a scrubby side. :)

[@chasedmuchowsky6257]

Julie-Laure Bernard yes you can just pour boiling water over it

[@julie-laurebernard3278]

p-star 7 Thank you, I'll try this method :)

[@wabbidaful]

Indeed! Throw it away 😜

[@megpie2234]

Seam ripping tool works great for vaccum

[@cleanmyspace]

Yes, a lot of people do that and it does work, just always make sure it's WET!

[@jennifer.rapkins]

Such a good tip!! Thanks for sharing! I just cleaned my vacuum head a couple of days ago, I wish I had thought of that! :)

[@specimn13]

about cleaning vacuums. Is there any way to clean the inside of the hose. It looks funky in there.

[@auroracortes9215]

What can I use instead oxy?

[@carolinecandybkins507]

I am a new subscriber..and I have a few questions...so first of all how on earth do you clean a toilet brush and plunger...and another...I'm a VERY disorganized person that needs to do spring cleaning...and I tend to procratinate a lot..what would you suggest to do to start slowly doing spring clening?

[@skinnydee1886]

The best thing to use when cleaning your vacuum roller brush is a seam ripper, it cuts through any tangled hair, or threads the roller may have picked up.

[@stephaniezellmer413]

First off I LOVE these videos. So thankful for you and your website Melissa! And a question too: can I use the same oxy-bleach method on shop-vac attachments (specifically floor brush/dusting brush attachments)? We currently have concrete floors, construction, no regular vacuum, and an indoor kitty cat, so the floors here are a mess. Thank you so much again for your videos and information. I love it!

[@b21.9]

Great video! But where can i find that oxi powder?
