KITCHEN CLEAN WITH ME | Flylady Zone 2 | CLEANING MOTIVATION | The Secret Slob

[@kimlindseyOH]

Steph I have to share this: Early this week I had a workman into my house, and he commented on how clean the house was - WOW! He thought I had just moved in! I guess this Fly Lady thing really does work, LOL! Thanks as always for the inspiration. :-)

[@TheSecretSlob]

Yaaaa! Well done!🙌🙌🙌🙌🤩

[@Songbirdstress]

To me that's the first yay moment. My first comment on how nice the house looked was an 8 year old :-) When you're impressing 8 year olds :-)

Zone cleaning, is it picking a zone for a week (5days) and deep cleaning it 15 min a day or an hour a day?🤔

[@scrapperliegey]

I wash my racks in my bath tub also but , I put a towel down first. This will prevent the racks scratching your tub.

[@poppyfieldcardcrafts6555]

Great deep clean Steph. My grandma taught me to always start at the top and work downwards, then any dust etc will fall on the shelf/floor below. I'm been doing that for 50 years now! When I'm cleaning floors I start at the opposite end to the door and work backwards, that way you don't leave footprints when the floor is drying. With 3 young children and no extra help I think you do a fantastic job! June

[@alinebristol102]

My jaw literally dropped when you used your vacuum for your freezer drawer - wow. Thanks for the hack - genius.

[@rustysz1064]

Great job! One little suggestion: clean from top to bottom whatever you're cleaning, especially if you're gonna dust & vac. 💚

[@karenthomas7678]

Steph, you’ve achieved so much in that hour! You are doing a fantastic job looking after your family and home. Love your inspiring videos 😍

[@karishatavendale3432]

How inspiring. A kitchen that actually needs a clean instead of cleaning an already clean kitchen like so many others do!

[@tanja0131]

Wow, ein tolles Haus! Ich wünsche Euch darin eine wundervolle Zeit! Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland 🤗

[@momof2momof2]

Love that you have open shelves. A tip that works for me for cleaning a dishwasher is to throw a cup of bleach in and do a cycle. It comes out so clean, and disinfected . You are showing real Mom life :) I agree with you. Mops just can't get floors clean. To me all they do is spread the dirt around. tfs 💗💗💗

[@annam9741]

Hi Steph, Ive actually got a recommendation for you and anyone else reading this! You can buy a plastic microwave lid for a couple bucks at Target, Ikea, etc to cover your food so it doesn't explode in your microwave. I never have a big disgusting job of cleaning my microwave anymore. the lid has proved to be my most time saving and useful wedding gift ever. Who knew ? lol. KEY tip: leave the lid stored in your microwave so it actually gets used every time! Thanks for the cleaning motivation today. :)

[@fiagotzehagg5141]

We use a glass oven safe bowl instead. You should never heat plastic together with food due to chemical leaks. You can also use a paper towel on top of the food

[@minkimouse]

@@fiagotzehagg5141 The plastic does not touch your food and using paper towels like that is super wasteful

[@fiagotzehagg5141]

@@minkimouse The chemicals in the plastic still leaks . At home we have a glass lid. Often I just use nothing at work and just wipe the microwave with a rag.

[@jessiec1194]

you'll be proud of me, I cleaned the fridge and even did the self clean on the stove. Took a bit more than the alloted time though

[@melanierouge588]

thank you for talking all the way through. these cleaning videos acts as a double body and helps me clean (my kitchen too). the other videos with music is just... I might as well play my own music, you know? Sometimes I need more than a podcast voice, I need to glance and listen. thanks again

[@missmayflower]

When you have the oven drawer empty, pull the drawer right out of the stove. Then you’ll have access to the floor beneath to vacuum and wipe. Also, for most ovens you can just lift the door right off to have easier access to the oven.

[@cakeandfigs9793]

missmayflower Such a good idea for under the stove cleaning.

[@sherylchapman4168]

missmayflower holy moly! Yep. Under that stove drawer was a mess! I cleaned it out. Great idea!

[@karishatavendale3432]

I'm too scared to do that in case I can't get the drawer back in!

[@lvlc5]

Ever since I saw you the first time on your knees talking about how proud your grandma would be to see you wiping the floors like that I was inspired.... when my kitchen and bathroom zones are due, I wipe the floors like that too now.. :)

[@shannonrichards5367]

Holy moly! I got motivated to clean my oven after watching this and as I was scrubbing the glass door I didn’t realize the water could so easily be pushed to the back side of the glass. It then got stuck there and we ended up having to take the whole door apart and there are like four different panes of glass that we had to pull out before we got to the part with the water. It was a huge disaster. On top of that I ended up scratching the glass because I was scrubbing it so hard. I went back and watched your video again on how you cleaned your oven and I definitely need to be more like you and just get it cleaned good enough and not be a perfectionist about it. Thanks for doing these videos! I really enjoy them and like learning tips. Oh and I tried your dryer sheet tip on the racks and loved it!

[@jackiebowen6239]

THANK YOU, STEPH! I put off the kitchen zone today but will not tomorrow because of your motivating video here. You make it look fun, actually, and the results are certainly beautiful. I can DO this! Thanks so much for your work!

[@gaylewills1294]

My husband cracked our glass stove top when he was using a pressure cooker that goes on a burner. We replaced it with the regular burners and a stainless top...much easier for me to clean. This was 13 years ago and the new top is still fine.

[@lazylady6767]

Mopping the floor by hand very much indian habit. Happy to see u doing same I am from India. Love for you.

[@tishthehuff9738]

We get down on our hands and knees and do the floor as well. We've tried every mop.

[@karishatavendale3432]

. I go through cycles of using a mop and then on hands and knees

[@sanperry]

I have health issues that makes it impossible to clean the floor on my hands and knees. I bought a steam cleaner recently, and it makes my kitchen floor and cabinets look brand new! I also use Swiffer wetjet in lavender scent. Makes the whole house smell great.

[@patmulh4245]

Truly loved this video!!! I sometimes don't think that KZbinrs realize how much you influence our lives! I have a new gas range because of "Uncle Scott's Kitchen...love his videos!!! I watch you and you keep me moving...I watch the , "A Slob Comes Clean", when it comes to decluttering, and I watch The Doves Nest, just because I love her she keeps me going...she also appreciates and mentions you I have a Costco membership because I watch a lot of Bobby Parish...and on and on and on.

I love that I am 73 years old and continue to learn every day from young people!

[@jomama81ranch8]

One tip for your oven door on the inside, use steel wool with your Lysol spray or some other slick product. Soap and water will work just fine! But the fine, steel wool will take off all of those brown moisture spots on your oven glass that accumulate on the INSIDE. I doubt you will ever need steel wool on the outside? My dishwasher gets JUST like yours! No worries!

[@marydrummond5451]

Hi There ... saw Diane in Denmark this morning .. break time again watching you now !!!

[@madisonangulo52]

Inspiring! Some great tips as well!! And thank you for being so open about the mess that everyone sure does have in the kitchen...real life! it is refreshing!

[@jackiebowen6239]

Have to say again, THANK YOU, STEPH! I did it! I cleaned that gross oven drawer with the vacuum as you suggested, and the rest of it and the wall behind it when I pulled the stove out. It was one thing leading to another; in about 30 minutes things were sparkling!! Kept seeing you in my mind while doing it.

[@elizabethschendel9264]

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the tip of using vacuum in bottom of drawers - brilliant!

[@sanperry]

I know, right! This has never occurred to me - I will definitely do this from now on.

[@tizianamarras1636]

Thanks for the tricks, so I Will give another one : as the dust is falling, much better to clean from top to bottom . Bye happy to see you again.

[@cack121]

Just a little thought for you. I use my vacuum all the time to vac things out of drawers as well. Best thing ever. Keep in mind that the frozen food you vacuumed up will thaw, rot and get moldy. Depending on how often you have to empty your vacuum that is.

[@Fiora1951]

Hi 👋🏼 there, for the racks, use white vinegar and baking soda next time. Pour the 2 over then, and let them sit for 15-20 minutes or as long as you want them, you can always check them and do the potion again and stubborn parts, that’s what I do, but for me, it’s guarantee no scrubbing, my husband doubt it before, now is his go to cleaning when he does the kitchen. 😃

[@TheSecretSlob]

Oh I will have to try this! 😊 thanks!

[@amyhackbarth2074]

Love this. I have put my glasses upside down inside of my cabinets to help keep the dust out of them. I think there’s no hope for my oven.

[@tiffanybramlette6998]

Go to dollar tree and get the oven spray. Take out your racks and make sure to cover your elements with foil then spray away and let sit overnight. I moved into an apartment with an older glass top and im convinced it had never been cleaned before me. And it was like magic

[@amierikke6225]

I’m loving your print out! Thank you so much. You and Diane in Denmark are my Fly Lady leaders. I’ve learned so much from you. My mom would get on her hands and knees to scrub the kitchen floor, she used bon ami scrub or comet and a lot of water for rinsing. She did this a couple times a week. I remember she didn’t want anyone to catch her floors dirty, like a surprise visit from her mother or sisters, or a friend or neighbor. That was her cleaning motivation! We had linoleum tiles and a film would develop. I use a steam mop now, yes I’ve tried every mop and system available out there, I like the steam mop or good old fashioned hands and knees! I’m following along with fly lady, I’m in my third month. So, now that I’m pretty much done decluttering, I’m doing zones. I did my oven, I use the boiling water and ammonia overnight method. I know it’s toxic but it works for me and less toxic and cheaper than a can of oven spray cleaner. I keep the window open and vent on. It feels so good to have it cleaned. I’ve also done a deep refrigerator clean, my open shelves with nick nacks and wiped down the walls and cabinets. I feel really good. One thing is I’m going way over time that fly lady says to. I don’t know if I’ll get faster, but the time just doesn’t seem to be reasonable for me and my house. If it works for others that’s great.

[@pippysmama7639]

Amie Rikke I can relate to this as I did the same when I was starting out on FlyLady routines. It might be because the dirt has built up, so you’ve got more to scrub. Or, your old way was to spend too much time cleaning which is a habit now. Or, you’re aiming for perfection. My advice: choose small areas to tackle eg, one shelf, one drawer. Work relatively fast and don’t get too fussy about perfectionism. Stay focussed and STOP when the timer goes off. Reward yourself what what you did get done with a tick on your list and a break for 5-10 minutes. Eventually you’ll get used to working in small, manageable chunks. Keep going! This system really works.

[@cindyleis1195]

I always did my floors on my knees as long as my kids were playing on the floor. When they grew up, I stood up. :) Job well done. Loved the rack-hack.

[@TheSecretSlob]

Hi friends, I was so thrilled with the results of the hacks for cleaning the oven racks, dishwasher and microwave, but not so much with the results of the oven's 'steam clean' function. If you have a great tip for getting the inside of the oven spotless, please share! Hope you are well on your way in zone 2 this week!

[@stephl5230]

Hey! I just looked into that last week and did my toaster oven to test it and baking soda and vinegar did the trick amazing! Make a water paste of the two and leave them soaking on the area then wipe. It was awesome!! Window looks brand new!!

[@thehadster7043]

I don't have a self STEAM, I have a self cleaning oven. I can set the cycle for shorter or longer. I find that a 4 hour cycle does the job, but a 3 hour won't. Maybe you can extend the self steaming cycle? After I wipe out my oven, I use my all purpose spray, and if I need a bit of scrubbing power, I spray first and then shake on some backing soda. There is occasionally some residue left over from the baking soda, but it wipes off easily.

[@marykay1707]

Hi, could use maybe DIY repair the crack in the glasstop with the stuff you use to repair a windshield crack??? Since it's off to the side and not in the heated areas?

[@mariecochlan664]

Hi Steph, Great idea about the soaking the oven trays in the bath. I noticed that you were able to remove the top tray of your dishwasher. Would the trays not fit in the dishwasher? I’m thinking after the soaking stage for you. That’s what I do with mine, as I don’t have a bath (sad I know). However, I notice that your ovens are much bigger than ours in UK, so it might not work in your case. Just a thought. Mx

Hi Steph! Two things to share....Zone 2 Printable and Dishwasher Hack. I am loving your printable! It's easier to carry that around than my binder. I am really making some great progress this week! Your Zone 2 Printables is working sooooo great for me. It's Thursday and if I could share a photo of it ...you'd see a whole lot of writing and check marks and crossing out of completed complete tasks as I am working through the zone. My kitchen is looking great....I have de-cluttered a while bunch of stuff too. My dishwasher hack ...I have a similar dishwasher to you (stainless steel inside) and each time I run the dishwasher, I add some.vinegar....every single time! My dishwasher is always clean and the dishes never smell like they just came out of a dishwasher...LOL Anyway....I just keep a bottle of straight vinegar next to my dishwasher soap and add it in (I just eyeball it....probably like a quarter cup or so of vinegar) just before I run it. Looking forward do the next Zone Printable....this week's has kept me in track and moving right along! Thanks!!!! 😊❤️

[@jaynewman9340]

I need to clean my oven!! So I will hop up and get it done!! I don't have any hacks for the oven, but for the dishwasher and my washing machine is use a cup of vinegar and cup of bicarbonate of soda for the dishwasher I sprinkle both all over the bottom of the dishwasher put it on longest cycle and for the washing machine again a cup of each into the washing machine drum put on the hottest wash and walk away!! This also cleans and descales inside workings of your appliances, keeping them in tip tip condition, I descale my kettle with a couple of teaspoons of citric acid, works brilliant, you can also use a sachet or half a cup of this in your dishwasher or washing machine, it works just as good!! I absolutely love your kitchen tiles, gives such a vibrant splash of colour, my favourite colours are peacock blues, teals and my house was very neutral, but I have now accessorised each room with splashes of colour like this...cushions etc....you can then easily change if you get fed up 😻 xxx

[@cashby1425]

You are so darling and have such a pleasant voice. I like how you are just “real” and say it like it is. Same with Diane in Denmark. I messed up my oven last year. Did self clean option and there is always like ash leftover. I went to wipe down with wet cloth when oven was still too hot apparently and the wet rag (which was probably coolish in temperature). The glass window cracked immediately when cool rag touched hot oven door/glass. 😞. Also I tried racks in tub and I don’t recall the method but it did not work and left rust marks in my tub bottom. I WILL try your method because I can never get the racks looking nice. I am new to flylady (about 2mo) and just love it. So much wisdom!! Thanks Steph!

[@phyllisj73]

Make sure to put towel in bathtub first to protect it

[@heidieho4470]

1. Fly lady used to say to start at the ceiling and work down to floor so the dust settles below. If we do this we avoid messing up a clean shelf because the dust came down from the upper shelf. Also start with the cleanest part of the cabinet then move to dirtiest part, less possibility of transferring grime from bottom up to the sides. These are the highlights I learned from Fly Lady. 2. Glass stove top repair, have you thought about using a car windshield repair kit to fill the crack? 3. Love you and your videos. Thanks for the inspiration as always.

Hey steph when u cleaning those oven shelves put some clothes detergent in the water and soak them over night it works and even works on burn on food in pans too they really come up clean

I am completely in love with your weekly cleaning schedule. I am making one of my own so that I can make a few changes in the template, but it will look the same. It has really kept me on track this week. You have a lovely home. And now the you know your kitchen is clean even in the corners, I'm sure you'll love walking into your kitchen as much as I love walking into my kitchen. A while back I copied some links for Dr. Bonners Sal Suds and what you can make with it. I am always amazed at how well it works. Non toxic, biodegradable, ethically sourced and made, no heavy perfumes.... Anyway, you have something that works for you. If you're looking to try something new or that works better...

Lots of great tips!! I love your kitchen tile. I’ve gotten so tired of the gray/beige/white trend!

I can’t get on my knees anymore but I used to clean my floors that way especially the kitchen and bathroom

Hi.thank for sharing. I love all of your video.and sometimes I watch them more than 2 time 😊 I have a experience for clean the inside stove ..rack and ..i. Just use baking soda with a little water . it works perfect. For rack you can use baking soda with brush its easier than rag. Sorry for my poor English😒😅

You should research dryer sheets, I was amazed to find out what the ingredients were!

I'm so surprised that lysol was the only cleaner available at the store. In my town, lysol was the first cleaner to be out of stock!

My Whirlpool oven’s steam clean cycle is useless, but it also has a cycle called precise clean that is wonderful and reduces all the baked on stuff to ash using high heat. If your oven has that option, try it out. I clean my racks outside on a sunny day. I don’t like the idea of having a greasy mess in my tub to clean or scratching the finish accidentally.

Please can you make videos of all your zones like this. I have no probs with my daily cleaning and weekly cleaning, but I struggle with zones - sticking to the 15 mins.... I was really successful last time I zone cleaned my bedroom, so I know I can do it. I hate the idea of not everything gtg cleaned once the zone comes round and I'm not the quickest cleaner, also I have to wait til my husband comes home from work / or the weekend so I can clean behind furniture, so I can't always crack on in the mornings when I've more motivation. Each time the zone comes round its not very dirty, so that's good too Xx
