Hi Brandon - Can you do a video or overview of what we should be cleaning in our homes on a daily, weekly, monthly basis, etc? I know its different for everyone but a baseline would be so helpful coming from a professional like yourself and I respect your input.

[@PASwiftUTube]

I envy the fact you can reach the tops of the doors. At barely 5 feet tall it’s up and down ladders for me!😮‍💨

[@ryanbyers5050]

Thank you! Once I found your channel I went looking through all your past videos looking for baseboard and trim cleaning tips!

[@sairalovesfilm]

Best. Video. Ever. My baseboards were driving me crazy.

[@suzannakoizumi8605]

Thanks. I am considering vacuuming the baseboards. I hate to clean.

Love your channel! Here's something I'd like to see... cleaning a shower curtain liner, without having to take it down!

[@lovethosebudgies66]

The house I moved into recently has slightly grubby baseboards (job not done yet). I can't bend down much so those are great tips! I may have to do a couple passes with the cleaner. I did the vacuuming and dusting to no avail. I actually am not impressed with Swiffer dusters. The only purpose I find them sometimes useful for is dusting knickknacks without moving everything, and electronics.

[@pjm1902]

Great tips ! Have a great weekend

[@cathydavis1877]

Yes. Love to change my water often! Thank u!

I appreciate the information.

[@spikey8085]

You're right about cleaning you have good mum to teach you how to keeping your home clean. I never use dusting dry cloth firstly using dry cloth just spreading dust around i don't like seeing dust

[@maryogie1941]

The Swiffer heavy duty dusters (the yellow ones) pick up alot more dust. I use them at housecleaning jobs with dogs

How about just vinegar and water and no soap then you don’t have to rinse?

[@vikkigaines9836]

I have just adopted you into my family. Thank you for linking the tools! Quick question. I work in healthcare and love aromatherapy. Would adding the Dawn Calm beads to the water cleaner mix mess up anything when cleaning the walls?

[@emguilbe]

“Oh how preeeetee”

[@HeronCoyote1234]

The baseboard method with the dry or wet cloth on a broom or duster: could that method be used on blinds? I can’t take mine down, so bath soaking is out.

[@lovethosebudgies66]

I'm trying to find the spring cleaning checklist plus which videos are which.

[@emmsue1053]

That was brilliant, thank you.. You guys never seem to have pipework running along the top of baseboards, its a freaking nightmare!

[@maggyfernandez9125]

Thanks for the tips but what can you use . On laminate floors thanks

[@amandagawith4822]

Do you have any tips for cleaning small and angled areas in a bathroom ?

[@lauram.511]

Great helpful video! Blessings be unto you! I was just thinking that you could be in a Star Wars movie as Luke Skywalker's son or grandson. Just a thought.

[@zdrill7679]

What brand of vacuum cleaner were you using?

[@almasandhu9895]

What kind of flat mop do you use? Is it stiffer? I’d really like to know 😊

[@deborahgeorge3238]

Thank you for your great video. I see you use the magic eraser. Is this ok to use on a shower screen or not? I hear so many differing ideas.

For method 2, how did you secure the microfiber towel to the swiffer pole? txs

[@tf4606]

Go back and watch again.

[@vintagelady1]

Gee I never would have thought of using a duster or getting down on my hands & knees with a rag! Radical! I was so totally blown away I couldn't manage to watch the rest of the video. OK, to be fair, the rubber band around the broom was a great idea, except that it tends to just slide off when you dampen the cloth.

[@kathywiseley4382]

Most of this would work for crown moulding also

[@CleanThatUp]

Definitely!

[@erinmaclean5064]

​@CleanThatUp I used a magic eraser on my window sills and a year or two later the paint cracked and peeled. Was that the cleaner in the name brand sponge, or will all melamine do that to trim paint?

[@nishas6110]

My door is very greasy how do I clean them

[@almasandhu9895]

Oops I ment swiffer. Is it a swiffer flat mop?

[@GardenRetriever]

What am I doing wrong? My sliding doors are always a dirty mess! Please advise❤

[@charexplainsitall]

What about washing walls? My apartment has this weird chalky type paint and I’m scared to change the color wiping with the wrong products…

[@CleanThatUp]

Good question! Sounds like you might have flat paint and sometimes it’s best to just spot clean those types of walls. I actually just uploaded a full step by step video on wall washing (perfect timing! 🙂) How to Easily Wash Your Walls kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZDIq3t6g8R_ZpY

[@sunrae7680]

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼❤❤❤❤😀

[@shsaleh2934]

Thank you, but first you need to clean the most dirty areas like the edge of upper door frame with small sponge

[@erinnstreeter]

For those of us who are calendar-oriented: how often would you schedule this cleaning task? Every quarter? (Maybe any cleaning task should be based first on the level of unclean something is, but it would be good to have a general idea of how often is typical for this one.)

[@daniellecomeau2996]

I came here to comment.And was gonna ask him for a cleaning schedule so that nothing becomes A.Deep cleaning issue,

[@lmack6596]

I guess it's up to you, how quickly your baseboards get dirty, and how much time& enjoy you have. For jobs like this - after I've cleaned them I guess when they will need cleaning again (e.g. 3months) and schedule that. But then I tweak it - so if after 2months, they're really dirty I know I need to do it more often than I thought. Or, if after three months, they still look fine, then I'll leave it for another month or 2. I'm slowly learning how often I need to clean different things in my home! 🧹✨

How to clean walls?

[@paulemmm2538]

Mop in walls? 🤔

[@emmsue1053]

Just done mine, 15 foot.. Did it by hand eventually, washed rinsed & dried.. Just couldn't seem to get enough pressure on the wall with either the broom or Swiffer trick. Having a day off before the other one! LOL.

[@maggiekelley259]

The trick with the broom is awesome and I'm going to use it right now. Reason is below but it's a bit... Ouch. I have massive back issues and bending in some ways causes bones in my spine to rub together, specifically my neck vertebrae. It causes a massive migraine and damage. I need to do a whole move out clean in a month, so this is going to help so much!!

[@kalayne6713]

If at all possible, get a well known professional cleaning company in. Save your body if you can afford it. These deep cleans at the end of a lease can be a scam, I speak from a very stressful experience where I was nearly taken to the rental tribunal, but I had all my emails showing my willingness to pay and the threatening, character assassination attempts of the real estate agency, so they backed off.It was a miracle. Take care. From Australia.
