Kitchen Purge + Deep Clean Refreshed for Summer

[@terryruiz7417]

"It's a wonderful thing to have people to cook and clean for." Well said! Blessed.

[@greenwillow5404]

That really struck me too! Such a beautiful sentiment. 😍

[@andree824]

Oh, I loved that!

[@angiem8434]

I agree.. love to clean for my family..it gives me a sense of pride. Sadly working full time has stolen that joy from me and now cleaning seems so hard but I do it cause I love to serve my family.

[@larag1764]

I like your hair in a bun like that - very pretty. You've reminded me I need to clean the metal screens on my range hood !

[@peggiescraftcafe7117]

I would suggest hanging on to the blue & white dishes(a tiny box in basement/garage)should you decide to get rid of the set it would make a much more appealing sale if it was a complete set.

[@claudiaayllon4064]

Yes don't break them up!

[@annw1395]

I totally agree; keep the set together.

[@2aeng]

I too feel bad about the set breaking up

[@lynnek4226]

I agree also! They’re worth money, I see them in antique stores all the time and this was the set my mother had in the 60s and 70s when I was growing up.

[@lorettavalenta]

It's not about the money. It's about keeping what you use and releasing the rest. ♥️

[@arlenecoury9976]

Sigh...... I could watch your videos ALL day! Such a source of pleasurable INSPIRATION! Thank you Hilary.

[@jannier9766]

I have a journal that has quote’s written on each page. One of them says- “In some places in the world it would seem a luxury to have dishes to wash.” That really puts things in perspective. Loved this video!! It is so satisfying to get things like that done. I love your “realness”. God bless.

[@reniehandler2595]

Who doesn’t love a good deep clean and organizational video? Thank you for the motivation!!!!! ❤

[@debbiekoortzen1154]

Hi Hillary, I really enjoyed this video, you have a beautiful kitchen. Lots of love. ⚘

[@ncl-ibelieve8421]

It is a blessing to have a kitchen to clean. I love my family and I enjoy cooking and feeding them. I thank God for the blessing of having food, and a family to cook for. Yes I have to clean up afterwards, but it's worth it to me to be able to sit around the table and enjoy the I food prepare. Not only to eat together, but to be able to share our day with each other over a meal. Thanks Hillary for sharing your cleaning tips.

[@OldWorldHome]

Amen! 🙌🏼

[@deniseconaway701]

Totally right Hilary usually a kitchen that is never messy and stays immaculate is most likely a barely used kitchen, it’s a lovely feeling, even though we know it’s short lived, when it’s been cleaned and de cluttered, is a good feeling to know it’s done 😁👍🏻, sometimes when we open the cupboard doors to declutter do you ever wonder how something arrived in that cupboard lol, i know i do, Thankyou really feel motivated to have a sort out xx

[@poodlegirl55]

I take all my stove grates and oven racks outside, put them in a garbage bag and spray with oven cleaner. I like to do it after supper and leave them out all night but just an hour or two works also. Then hose them off, bring in and wash with no scrubbing.

[@FortheLoveofOrganizing]

I can’t believe it’s been 5 years! 💕 Thank you for the cleaning motivation! Laura

[@MultiMorgenster]

You inspired me this morning (I live in the Netherlands) to give my home-away-from-home, a 82 square feet cottage in the countryside, a good clean - including the kitchen cabinets and the outside storage. Just in time: I found a budding wasps nest.

[@balboathedog]

Mama of 4 young children you are looking fabulous!

[@Deezeelove]

PS- you look so pretty at end of video! (you are always pretty, but you looked gorgeous)

[@rayselby3487]

Sue here: Wow, beautiful job! So inspiring. And yes, life happens and that's good. But a refresh gets you ready for more ... life! 😊

[@cindygregson490]

very inspiring! Perhaps you should keep the forks.

[@thecozycottage6555]

You never cease to amaze and inspire me!❤️

[@biolameieri]

No wonder your home looks so good, you take great care of it! Thanks for the inspiration:)

[@debrabadger5435]

Hillary. Most stove doors lift up and off so you can really get in the oven up close. Wish i had been told this sooner. Thanks for your wonderful channel. Its so nice and relaxing.

[@joyceprice6749]

Hilary thanks for the motivation. Your kitchen looks fresh and clean. I never get tired of watching you clean or decorate your home. Take care. ❤️🌹❤️

[@donna8212]

Good to see you Hilary! Fantastic video 😊. Deep cleaning is always a great feeling ☺️. Have a nice evening. 🪣🧼🧽👍🏻

[@knowchrissiechavers7642]

Hillary, All I can say is your Absolutely Precious ♥️God Bless You . Sending Love all the way from Alabama, Chrissie ♥️🙏

[@kathrynmcmeekin9931]

Good job, looks great

[@benandmeghan3894]

Revisiting for some pre- vacation deep clean inspiration!

[@lovemyhomelife2152]

This is a wonderful video. TFS your process. Nothing like a clean and clutter free kitchen! So refreshing. 🤗❤

[@aprilyeno1919]

A fresh start! Always a great thing for the soul! Your kitchen is so lovely! See you soon!❤️🙏🏻

[@MindyourMatters]

Deep clean and Declutter of the kitchen yes!!! I’ve got to revisit ours as well! Yes!

[@romac941]

I love your kitchen. I love a kitchen that is functional and cozy, mine is similar to yours. When it’s clean and functional, it makes cooking a pleasure. I’d hang on to the cups and saucers. 😊

[@tanyajohnston8262]

I so enjoy your videos and very inspiring. Yes it is wonderful to have people to cook for and wonderful to have the means to be able to do just that. You have a lovely kitchen.

[@lisaremy4817]

Love your ability to just let things go….when it comes to my kitchen stuff I have a difficult time letting go. 😞

[@elanamarshallsea4781]

I tend to get rid of stuff I need later, so now I throw everything in a box and hide it. If I need something from it, I add it back to the kitchen. After about 6 months, if I didn't need anything else from that box, I donate it without a second glance.

[@OldWorldHome]

I’m just so very aware of what I use since I’m in here so much, so any excess is easy to let go

[@ninaprabhu627]

That felt so good seeing this video...i am motivated to clean mine soon. Thank you

[@pamelaking4414]

I agree on kitchen and house you live in and enjoy it

[@yvonnebrown1585]

Love watching you tackle such tasks. I know my cupboards have things we don’t use anymore. Now I need to just get started. One cupboard at a time . Enjoyed this visit while you were cleaning. Good job,🤗

[@leahfritch6607]

I always love your videos. You have inspired me to clean out my kitchen too!

[@Spedteacher2020]

I clean my oven the same way. I have self cleaning but too scared to use it. One thing that works great for the racks is to spray them lightly let set for an hour, then I lay an old towel in my bathtub, place the racks, cover with 6-8 drier sheets, add warm water let soak for several hours. Then use the drier sheets to scrub off gunk. It works great!

[@pauladobson3220]

Such a good video. Enjoy seeing a video pop up 🙂🌻

[@jessicamarchetto95]

💖💖 That blue set of plates are so beautiful 💙💙😍😍

[@jinxie228]

LOVED this video and a treat to see it uploaded this morning. Well done on the decluttering. We have some china pieces we use and some we have never used. For years, I kept it just because it was a full set, but now I use most of it for my every day dishes and let go of the pieces we don't use.

[@donnawiseman9311]

I have always loved your kitchen. It’s beautiful! I love all the white.

[@clairetitus6904]

Your basic everyday look is really pretty good. I agree, take the time to evaluate what is sitting out versus tucked away or donated if needed. Thanks for sharing.

[@raesmith2748]

As I was watching the video I heard a timer go off. I assumed it was your oven timer. Turns out it was my instapot timer. I really love the videos!

[@jannier9766]

😆

[@midlife_minimalist]

I started using a big heavy bottom pot on stove to make popcorn years ago and have never missed having a popcorn maker. Just put a little oil in bottom, then popcorn and turn heat on a lower level and cover leaving a slight vent. Listen until it mostly stops popping and then remove from heat.

[@OldWorldHome]

It’s funny, that’s what we used to do all the time but then we got the air popper for free and love using it weekly! 🍿

[@shartman2150]

We love popcorn made on the stove. My kids would brag to their friends that I could make popcorn "from scratch" when they were little. 😆

[@JulesfromNorthfield]

And then I melt the butter right in the pan after popping it. Sometimes I let it sizzle and get a nutty flavor. So so good!

[@shartman2150]

@@JulesfromNorthfield yep! It’s the best. 😁

[@ginahernandez3219]

Thanks for sharing, Hillary 💖

[@davesonpasta6039]

Hello ,,how are you doing today?

[@paigerose8286]

Oh no! Please keep that silver little Paul Revere bowl. (LOL Guess that is why I need to purge my own house, I hold onto everything!) Also, your hair looks so cute tied up. Great videos and channel!

[@donnasmith5697]

Thanks for being such a GREAT MOTIVATOR!!! Love you!

[@chantillear]

I always love watching your videos!! We are moving across country to the Midwest, buying a 100 year old home. I can’t wait to renovate and decorate! Your home has always been an inspiration for me in my home 🥰

[@OldWorldHome]

Oh that’s SO exciting! God bless 💛

[@MindyourMatters]

I do the same at times (say sorry for the “life” mess) I’ve been more aware lately to not apologize and focus on the imperfections but to spend the time on the visit! The crumbs and scratches will be there after our guest is gone and then I can add those chores to my ever rotating list. ❤️ thanks for this video Hillary it was a lovely visit. Have a blessed day!

[@d.watkins8302]

Another wonderful video! Thank you Hillary! Oh how I wish I could have been the recipient of those extra currier and Ives dishes I have been looking for those for years and years💕💕💕

[@bf4744]

Such a rewarding video. Cleaning the screens on the range hood isn't fun. Just a note about the Mason jars. If you know someone who cans they would appreciate them. Went to Walmart yesterday to buy some and they didn't have any quart size and it was slim pickings on what they had.

[@paulinehillson9059]

Looks wonderful and feels so good to be clean and organized. Love your cozy little kitchen! 💗

[@gopugmama4408]

I love when you are in the kitchen cleaning, organizing, cooking, and just plain puttering around! I miss having my boys to cook for every day, but they come home often with their families so I am in my element. Everything looks so clean and so fresh! Your videos are so enjoyable and I appreciate all the time and effort you put into making them for us. I love being in my kitchen, it truly is the heart of our home and yours, too! Blessings dear friend!💖

[@OldWorldHome]

Thank you so much! Much love right back 💞

It looks so pretty but like you say...it is a blessing to get a little messy because you are using to make delicious foods for family and friends.

Love the video...very inspiring. But, wanted to say you're looking wonderful. I never thought you looked heavy at all, but you look tiny now! Looking great! 👌

[@christinedisneyqueen5746]

Love this! A used kitchen is the best kind! 💗

[@OldWorldHome]

Couldn’t agree more!

[@patsytag5703]

I also have painted kitchen cabinets and I use tiny little jars to hold and store a small amount of paint for touch ups and I just dab some paint on tip of pinky finger to do the tiny touch ups .

Have y’all considered building a small corner cabinet to hold your mixer?

[@lauramitchell6725]

I love those corner “garage” counter cabinets!

[@simplify9436]

I love your idea of putting the toaster in a basket for storage! It keeps crumbs out of my cupboard. 😊

[@OldWorldHome]

Yes! Been doing that forever

[@ArrowHillCottage]

wow! great job 'mining the depths' of your cabinets! :) I bet it feels so wonderful now that it is cleared out!

[@staciefreeman4396]

Hi Hillary, I would keep the Currier and Ives dishes, store them in the basement or your china hutch in the dining room. They are highly collectable and in my opinion worth keeping. The kitchen looks great and I have been inspired to tackle my own. I like your hair pulled up too!

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

Well done! 👏 I cleaned out my dishwasher filter last week... It was SO gross. I made a mental note to tackle that more often! 🤣🤣 A totally clean kitchen 24/7 would make me sad I think-- I'm glad you mentioned that bit at the end. 🥰

[@laurenramsey8891]

Oh girl I know that feels good to have that all done! Your kitchen is so charming. It reminds me of my mama’s. ☺️

Hi there your comment are wonderful 👌,,I don’t think we know which other here on KZbin

[@janetmichigander]

Hi Hilary. I know it is a great feeling to clean, purge and get it out of the house. I recently bought the same Currier and Ives set of dishes. I love them! I am surprised you let go of the butter dish. My set didn't come with one and I would love to find it some day. Have a great day!

[@lily0530]

Loved this Hilary! Im currently decluttering my whole home and I’m trying to figure out what’s being used and what isn’t. It really puts your things in perspective when you’re thinking do I love it or use it? Thanks for sharing!

[@JNtwinner]

Just an fyi spices above the stove you may want to move. Too much moisture and heat. We use to keep coffee beans up there, they would go bad so quickly. Your kitchen looks great.

[@OldWorldHome]

Honestly we use them so quickly I’ve never had any issues with it. Coffee beans wouldn’t even have time to expire around here 😅 but I do keep those in the fridge

[@jennyjenkins877]

Thank goodness it's not me making this video because it would not be so positive and look in any way effortless! Try cleaning the oven with baking soda they said... the gunk will wipe right off they said. After that total fail and taking a chunk of enamel off, I'm going to try again with an actual oven cleaning product like you used. Also, thank you immensely for the tip how to easily clean the grease traps over the stove before I wasted my time on other methods. You are a wonder woman!

[@sunshinegalkw9675]

Man I really loved this video!! Thank you! And I hum your video theme song all day and don’t even realize it.

[@annw1395]

Would your ice shaver fit in your dead-end cabinet, over the mixer? I keep a piece of heavy duty foil on the floor of my oven. It catches all the spills, is inexpensive, and is quick and easy to change out. Plus the foil is recyclable. You're awesome!

[@jannier9766]

Walmart sells a oven liner that goes on the bottom of the oven.

It might! Thank you for the tip

[@chlexiel.1022]

Love your kitchen 😊 I would donate those dishes- they would get separated anyway if you donated the whole set. BUT save those pastry metal cups - they can be turned into fun Christmas ornaments the girls could decorate 😍

[@IamSnowbird]

I need to do a whole kitchen clean. Right now my husband and I are tackling our bedroom. We got rid of a lot. The kitchen will be next.

[@lindaroyal8161]

I'm considering doing bead board as a back splash, I appreciate your update on how yours has held up. I was thinking a coat of polyurethane to protect it, what are you're thoughts and why you didn't put it on yours. Also would you share what you used on your counter tops to protect them? How do you think it's holding up? TY

[@gailots]

Hilary, buy an oven liner so you never have to clean bottom of oven again
