NEED TO KNOW CLEANING TIPS! | EXPERT CLEANING HACKS | TIPS FOR A CLEANER HOME! | JAMIE’S JOURNEY

[@lurenecornelius8053]

Thank you honey for the tips! I am 83 and live in an independent senior residence. I had a large family so never was able to have a home as clean as yours, now I find myself having physical limitations and the motivation to keep my apartment clean. You have unspured me though, so I’m going to try!

A tip for cleaning the heater vent is to unscrew it from the wall and wash it in the sink or tub with a scrub brush. It's much faster. 🙂

[@hissonshinegirl]

;-) ;-)

[@MiaMichele9696]

Agreed. That's what I do. I don't have the time to sit and clean those vents individually.

[@lolajtek3676]

Just vacuum with a brush attachment

[@MiaMichele9696]

@@lolajtek3676 Yup, that's what I do...usually on a weekly basis, but while vacuuming removes the surface dust, twice a year I take all the vent covers off to clean them to remove the residual dirt...you wouldn't believe how dirty the water gets, especially after the winter months.

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

Claudia England So true! It’s fun to watch or read how someone else tackles the same task. Sometimes we can pat ourselves on the back if we’ve already found something that works better for us. And sometimes we can let our jaws drop in amazement that we never thought of something another person does routinely! It’s fun to watch whichever way it goes.

The max cuteness a baby can be is the stage where they're able to interact and finally can see and play with stuff. They're not getting into trouble and their eyes seem to literally shine in excitement with everything around them........ this is why babies get me whipped to the point I feel like I could explode from cuteness overload. My heart be aching because I can't glue the the current scene of them to my eyeballs to enjoy forever 😂😂😂 My nieces own me and my poor wallet because I'm constantly buying stuff for them so I can see that excited wonder in their eyes with their huge smiles!!!! Babies are so pure not hiding their emotions and when it comes to seeing their joy you know it's fully unfiltered happiness!!!!

If you will vacuum the vents first, it will be easier to clean with the wet cloth. That works for just about anything that can be vacuumed.

[@missesanimecatgirl20]

I have a vacuum with a smal bristle peice . Works wonders

[@HisSnuggleBear18]

I just use a used dryer sheet. Works amazingly.

[@prettyflytraveler]

I was thinking the same thing

[@kellyc4144]

For the vent cleaning, I just unscrew the vent covers since theres only 2 screws. I take all of them off at once, take them to the sink or bathtub where I have a soft brush and mild soapy water and wash them. It's super quick, super easy and way faster than cleaning one little slat at a time. (:

[@msi8311]

Agreed

[@RichPortQueen]

Plus if there is dust on the vents there's dust in it.

[@AvocadoAfterHours]

i wish i could do this but australian vents are on the actual wall up at the very top of the room :((

Great for dogs with outdoor allergen issues that affect their paws and skin too! Probably lessens them from bringing in allergens for their humans as well. Great tip.

[@stephaniesmith91ss]

I never use carpet freshers... ever... when I worked for a cleaning company they said they are bad for vacuums. Lol so.. I just make sure to deep clean them well

[@sallydavidson4471]

I have had my carpets cleaned by a professional (not one of the cheaper companies that don't pay their employees a decent wage OR train them)! He said the only carpet cleaner to use is SPOT SHOT as it's more like a dry cleaning solution than the others, like resolve that contain soap. They leave a soapy film on your carpet that attracts dirt because it's sticky. SPOT SHOT is amazing and they even have pet formulations. It was endorsed by "Better Homes & Garden" when that meant something! I buy it at Walmart - one of the very few items I'll go in there for!

[@carolynaitken7632]

Yes you’re right and the perfume in carpet fresheners is not safe for cats or anyone with asthma.

I wash Otis’s feet when he comes in with doggy wipes that I get from Amazon, they’re very cost-effective and I don’t do it just in the winter time or when it’s raining I do it every single time he comes in, saves a lot on the floors on the bed because he sleeps with me, germs and anything else that he brings in.

[@Rocknrollsoul81]

A self-adhesive caulking tape might be something to consider for the area between your stove and countertop. They have many different colors and a nice sleek and professional look. It would keep food and spills from getting down in-between there. To clean it you just wipe it down when you're wiping the counter and stove. Hope you find this tip useful. Thanks for sharing your cleaning tips!

Just started watching your videos again at night and I have motivation to get things done now. Thank you 🥰

[@missesanimecatgirl20]

I have a "floating" toilet. I can reach underneath without having to twist my arm or mob to clean the floor

[@joannadavis6716]

Ah Paulette, the answer to your question would be a NO. I have never figured out yet in 75 years why heating and AC vents are always under windows, dah!

[@BROUBoomer]

Hi Paulette H, I agree with you. I think before they get their license, degree, or whatever it is they get to be legally designing houses; they should have to work for a house cleaning company for a month or more. Once they've cleaned in a hundred different homes at least a few dozen times each; they might begin to understand the design flaws for everyday usage of the space. Might even lead to designing better fixtures around the house too. I can't believe after all of that cleaning any man would leave such a little space between the tub, toilet, and sink after that. At least leave enough room to get the head of a sponge mop all the way around the toilet. Would be nice if they designed ranges and refrigerators on wheels to easily move them to clean under and behind. And plastic solid surfaces to use under sinks incase they leak. Floor drains anywhere there's plumbing incase of pipe leaks, pipe failure, or overflowing toilets. And easy outdoor emergency shut off valves for the water. I could go on for hours on all of the design flaws in the average house. But it might be easier to raise our daughters to take over architecture, and contracting jobs, with the purpose in mind of making it easier to clean and take care of, instead of maintaining the status quo that centuries of men have left us. That's my opinion, and I'm sticking to it. ☺️ ✌️ 🖖 😷

[@puddgyballerina1]

To restore glass inserts on ovens, use an inexpensive plain, unscented shaving cream (Dollar General). Shake and spray a layer on door. NOTE!! IF you have a chemical free self cleaning oven, use a low tack tape to mask off the edges so it doesn't end up on metal surfaces and potentially void any warranties!! Spread a nice layer of shaving cream over glass. Wait 1 hour. Wipe surface clean. Extra heavy baked on residue may require 2-3 treatments. I have severe Odteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis and I had to put in minimal effort to remove the residue. My oven doors sparkle like brand new!!!

I've read that, with the alcohol/water/dish soap disinfectant mixture, it's best to wait 3-5 minutes after spraying it onto your surfaces before wiping it off, giving it a chance to do its thing and actually disinfect.

[@desireeb10]

Don’t allow yourself to get overwhelmed first off. Make a chart Sunday thru Friday or something along those lines leaving at least 1 day free of no cleaning duties. Assign a couple cleaning duties to each day that way you can keep up with everything without feeling overwhelmed & you might consider doing laundry two times a wk so it doesn’t pile up and feel like your having to do so many loads at once. Definitely recommend having atleast one day a month that you do a deep clean/de-clutter or maybe even every other month. I use to be obsessed with cleaning spending 8hrs or more each day cleaning heck even spent a thousand + dollars on a ATP luminometer which basically u swab the surface of something put it in the meter and it will measure the hygiene/sanitary level of that item. If results were anything more than 2 I would clean again up to 10 is passing. But after years of professional help I’ve managed to cut back drastically. As far as cleaning products go I really love ZEP products but for the most part I try to use more natural ingredients. I love love love using a mixture of warm to hot distilled white vinegar & dawn dish soap for the bathroom will use bar keepers if needed. For the toilet & everything else I mix 3 tablespoons clorax bleach & 3TBSP fabuloso, 2TBSP dawn dish soap, 2-3 cups water I eye ball everything so exact measurements are hard to give. Also if you have a flat top stove with hard to get off burnt water marks you can spray easy off oven cleaner let it sit for an hour at minimum some like to leave over night I never do can also use the vinegar & dawn mixture and sprinkle baking soda on top let it sit come back using magic eraser. For mattresses even if you use a mattress cover it’s good to clean the mattress itself once a month or every other month spray mattress with a mixture of hot water & warm distilled white vinegar any area that need extra attention use a brush or towel with a tad bit of dawn and scrub the area then spray down area with the mixture again then use a generous amount of baking soda to cover mattress (no clumps) let sit until it completely dries which usually takes about 2hrs for my king size. Vacuum real good may have to go over it twice. Steam mops are the best unless you have hardwood floors.

Cleaning between the stove and the counter- I just made a rule after I renovated to pull the range out once a month and clean all around it, and mop underneath it. No drips down the sides (because the debris you see stuck up top isn’t limited to just that- it drips down to the floor). Same with the refrigerator. It’s not as hard as it sounds- get help if it’s too heavy of course, but you’ll feel better knowing you’re cooking in a truly clean space.

I too pull my range out every few months but for the in between its very helpful and I sure notice a difference when I do pull I iut. But lets face it elderly or those with small kids have to be careful. Or are not strong enough or lack time or don't have that handy help, its a nice alternative and easy quickie! Happy Cleaning

Toilet bowl cleaner does great on grout when cleaning tile.

Yessssss brush with a toothbrush and watch the magic happen.

[@sandraroberts1931]

Toilet bowl cleaner works great but you have to consider your pets and small kids who walk on the floors. Cats and dogs lick their paws and can get sick from the chemicals in toilet cleaner (which often has a skull head warning on it). Children have thin porous skin and chemicals can leach into their blood. I'm a health care worker and see alot of things related to chemicals in the hospital. Also my dog has bladder cancer and many yard products have poisons and toxins in them. It's a good idea to clean the dogs paws. Especially when your dog walks everywhere on your daily jaunt.

Also bleach will deteriorate the grout over time

Thank you! I never heard of that grout trick! Will try it!

[@joannwagner4940]

I sprinkler some of the scented baking soda in the bottom of the kitchen trash can before I put the plastic bag in. If I get any spills it absorbs them and no matter how sticky the spill it washes out so easily.

[@gracegamboa1819]

I cleaned my vents yesterday by unscrewing them and wash, for stove I moved it for me it's a lots faster and easier,definitely will buy the carpet cleaner! Thank you for the motivation ♥️

[@JamiesJourney]

That is a great way to clean it!

[@hazel_eyes9266]

Same thing I do with the stove & the vents I remove it & wash it & yes it’s easier . :)

[@bonnew6435]

I also cringe to think how much gunk just gets pushed down deeper into the space btwn stove &counter. So much easier to prevent it in the first place by using those covers made to sit over the gap.

[@20greeneyes20]

Unscrewing could cause stripping of the hardware or as my problem the screws have been painted over through the years an older house I'd never get them off. I brush mine then vacuum to finish it off,

I can't thank you enough for this video! It was so motivating that I cleaned my fridge today because of you!! So much easier putting the shelves in the bathtub. Even put towels on the floor for them to dry like you showed. I never thought of doing it that way!! I felt so productive! My fridge looks great. Bless you and your beautiful family! You are an inspiration.😘

Thank you, Kathy!

I cannot wait to try it tomorrow! I will wipe out the fridge while they soak and its a nice jump on my bathtub as well a little comet when I drain it and wholla! Double win!

Definitely get groute sealer once you get it so clean! Preserves your hard work

[@denisemayfield2650]

Always keep your grout sealed

I’ve had that for over a decade. Sooo helpful

[@Godisabsolutelygood]

The last time I gave my refrigerator a good scrub down I lined the shelves with self sticking Saran wrap (not the regular Saran wrap but the kind that sticks to stuff when you rub your finger across it). The next time your refrigerator needs to be cleaned you just take everything out, peel off the Saran wrap and put new down and put all your food back in. Makes life so much easier. Not the most environmentally friendly way but we are pretty good about not spilling things in the refrigerator so it's not often I have to replace the wrap.

[@StephiesCorner]

I use a vacuum hose with brush attachment for my vents, works great.

[@lindahelmbrecht1248]

Guess I’m old because I’ve been doing all that for many years. But, the youngsters can learn a lot.🙂

[@mjlvnv]

I love all your tips. I also do a quick pick up and a five minute clean every day. I don’t know if this is a great cleaning tip, but I always clean out my vacuum once a week and wash the filters. That way it is always ready and doesn’t have any nasty smells. I think it also keeps it in tip top shape; after all they can be pricey ( I have a Shark upright and a stick vac)

[@JamiesJourney]

That is a great tip! Thanks for sharing!

Vacuuming vents with brush attachment everytime I vacuum.

[@gsdmama2]

Hahaha! My sister and I have been doing the knife trick with paper towels, didn't have disinfecting wipes, since the 70's. We used water and vinegar. Momma's cleaning products were vinegar, ammonia, bleach, hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, alcohol and lemons. We had tons of spray bottles labeled and that is what we still use today.

[@sandyduncan6167]

Buy some grout sealer and you'll only have to reseal about every 3-5 years. Never have to clean your grout again.

[@inmyopinionwisdom4986]

Yes, I AGREE WITH YOU! GROUT SEALER is an EXCELLENT DEFENSE which can help keep dirt and grime from becoming embedded in the grout, the SEALER also serves to protect the grout from deteriorating over the years, especially when keeping a regular schedule of "re-sealing" the grout as ongoing maintenance. Additionally, if you DON'T SEAL your grout, it will absorb water, bacteria, and stains. Adding a "grout sealer" protects your grout so it's water-resistant and will repel moisture and germs. Sealing the grout helps prolong the look, texture, and consistency of your grout and it prevents mildew and mold from growing! However, from a SANITARY viewpoint, if you desire to CLEAN/SANITIZE your grout that is good because you're actually cleaning the SURROUNDING AREAS (near the grout), as well. Especially where food preparation is taking place "AND" in bathrooms...especially shower stalls, floors, and the like! EXAMPLE: At my kid's school they have "grouted tiles" on the floor throughout the shower & locker room. The floors weren't being "properly" SANITIZED in SOME areas (due to down-sizing the custodial staff, etc.). Unfortunately, a handful of kids got an athlete's foot (fungus) from the tiles in the shower stall floors. Although, the grout in the showers and surrounding areas had SEALED GROUT done annually by "hired" district maintenance crews...the "sealed grout" didn't ENCOURAGE the spread of the fungus...however, the nearby tiles by the grout did!!! :-( Therefore, In my (personal) opinion, I think it is a good idea to do BOTH (SEAL & SANITIZE/CLEAN)! This is NOT defeating the purpose of SEALING THE GROUT...it's just making sure that ALL the "surrounding" areas, including the TILES (by the grout) are properly sanitized AND the very TOP surface of the GROUT is clean also. Those frisky tiny MICROORGANISMS pop up everywhere! Need a powerful microscope to SEE them all over the surfaces of stuff! :-O Personally, I like to RE-SEAL the grout "AND" STEAM my tiles, accordingly. ;-D

I agree, we have wide and deep grout lines and over half my house is tiled in an off white tile textured. I have Stanley steamer come in every few years and we reseal the grout and color it off white. It's a grueling joo but worth it. I never need to scrub my grout.

I put a cloth down when preparing food to catch bits and always work away from these pesky gaps at the side of the cooker. I either put the bits in the bin or out to the birds if it is something they might like. Using a knife is a good tip for vents. Is baking soda ok for your vacuum cleaner? I feel sure that it could clog the expensive appliance. I use my Henry which is my garage vacuum for such jobs. Then when most powder is removed I might use an inside vacuum. I have eight dogs and their noses are 40 times more sensitive than ours. I am therefore especially careful what I use around them, which includes any unnecessary fragrance. Same goes for candles. With a family your show rack ides is very useful. A Paw Plunger is useful too in helping to reduce the amount of allergens which sensitive dogs can bring in and bother then in the future. Just keep the item clean and use fresh water every time. Also keep the fur trimmed on the bottom of their paws. Your home looks lovely. Thank you for sharing.

[@coffeegirljlh]

I agree by taking the vent off the wall and vacuum inside that area too

[@toniacassetta5766]

1 part rubbing alcohol 1 part water and about a fingernail size of dawn dish soap

Use your vacuum attachments on vents first and they won't be as dirty when you wipe them down. Love the idea of putting Refrigerator shelves in the tub. Awesome idea!

Use a dollar store denture brush to clean vents, around faucets. Much thicker than regular ones.

[@marydoty1388]

Well, was gonna replace mine and through old one out..now it goes i cup with the cleaning toothbrushes!! Thanks

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

Yes! I used one for the first time after my mom died and I was going to throw a brand new one out. Then I decided to use it for cleaning. Amazing! I love the way one end is sort of chiseled into a sort of point in the middle - gets into every space! Now I buy them routinely!

[@luvslagos]

I do this too!

[@BROUBoomer]

@@Lucinda_Jackson Hi, Me too. After my mother-in-law died, I'm looking at this odd brush thinking of dozens of places I could clean with that. Especially on laundry stains. Then my husband took the denture brush next time he washed the car, and it never came back to the cleaning supplies bucket. Found more at the Dollar Tree, and Walmart. Also found a pack of cleaning brushes at the Dollar Tree, with nylon bristles, wire bristles, etcetera (I forget the other ones). They're about the size of toothbrushes, and very handy. I have also learned to check the car washing buckets for any of my missing cleaning supplies; not that I'm cleaning my kitchen with them again, but that's where they disappeared to, just buy more. Take care. ☺️ ✌️ 🖖 😷

[@SUNROSE7878]

Also, check the thrift store for denture brushes. I found some new ones unopened for a fraction of the cost. Also, dog toothbrushes are cool for out of reach places. The bristles are not very stiff but are good for long sknny vases and glassware. Otherwise, this was a good video overall, and the added shortcuts from viewers were really helpful.

[@FlamingBlueKing2012]

Good tip for vent I have one that won’t come off the wall

[@palominoshine7838]

Very helpful. One thing I’ve done is gotten a set of stainless steel inserts for the crack between the oven and counter . All the major drips or food can’t get caught and I put them in the dishwasher as needed.

Enjoyed! You have a beautiful clean home! ..for my dog I use booties when he goes out and just remove them when. He comes back in,sorta he's outside shoes..in a pinch I've used cut off balloons for make shift boots for him.

[@patriciadeshields4286]

Great ideas. I also know from personal experience in that the baking soda is a bad idea because when your carpet gets a little older it will hold on to the stains in the padding. The powder cakes up in the padding and you will regret it ..you can clean your carpet but give it a couple of weeks And the stains bleed back through

[@sabinegai3763]

You can also use toilet bowl cleaner to clean grout! Works great on bathroom tile walls.
