There is NO reason at all for you to feel embarrassed about your home needing cleaned! I appreciate you being real and honest with how your home looks before cleaning. This is real life - this is what real homes look like between cleanings. Thank you for being real! I love your channel for that and many others reasons

[@mrslynnwhite]

I'm so glad you are here!

[@sunshinenday3439]

@@mrslynnwhiteI love the antebellum sweet, old English beautiful homes too! Also though we forget they had entire staff of people to care for them! We don't 😂 I am the staff.

[@suewright984]

Cleaning and organizing are endless! I’m amazed how quickly it gets away from me. My bathroom is also an eyesore. So disappointed with the Swan Stone tub/shower. It stained and I can’t get it clean. Just doing my best.

[@franceskey79]

I have 3 boys, I know how bad their bathroom can get, you don't need to be embarrassed. I had rather watch someone doing "real" cleaning than watching the fake. I love your humbleness, how inspirational you are and how real you are!!!

[@rachelhele7827]

My parents had 5 boys and 5 girls and I can promise you our bathroom never ever looked like this. I have this policy if one uses the toilet it should be wiped down with disinfectant straight away. It would freak me out if I went away and came home to this mess. I’m sorry if this sounds harsh but God gave us hands to clean up. Cleanness is next to Godliness. Such a shame it’s down to the mothers to clean up all the time. I was helping my mom out at the age of 8 and started to help cook dinner at 11 years old. Yes Lynn has kept it real but in my opinion older children can clean their own toilet and bedrooms. We did in the 60’s 70’s and 80’s. Then I left home and kept a show house cleaning everyday just maintenance and people could turn up unexpectedly and I worked full time.

[@franceskey79]

@@rachelhele7827 I don't pass judgment on anyone. We don't know what anyone faces in their day, anxiety, depression or whatever. My children were asked to do chores but that didn't mean it always got done and a child's clean isn't always like a Mama's clean.

[@rachelhele7827]

@@franceskey79 It wasn’t cleaned thats the point. I cleaned up just like my mother did as did my siblings. When my mother was in hospital my younger brother and I cooked and cleaned the house ourselves. My parents were so impressed with us. We looked after our siblings and everyone got to school on time and we visited our mother in hospital we showered daily. When our mother came home she didn’t have to do anything we looked after her as our father worked full time. 18 year old son could clean up after himself and his younger brother.

I completely understand what you were saying. That is exactly how I am. Cleaning relaxes me and I do it better when I have time to myself to do it because I always feel like I'm neglecting someone if they're just sitting there while I'm cleaning. I feel obligated to tend to them just like you said. Thank you for sharing that. Now I know I'm not the only one.

I don’t know if they use those toothbrushes in the shower, but I would probably replace those since the chemicals were sprayed so close to them. I usually move the toothbrushes far away when I am cleaning because the sprays go through the air.

[@nicoledgaspard]

How are you deciding which projects to do first in your home? What made you do the kitchen and staircase before doing the bathrooms and the boys room?

[@mrslynnwhite]

It was all done kind of quickly. We knew we needed to redo all of those spaces, but little by little. The kitchen was supposed to go much slower but we ended up just doing it. Mainly because the last one has zero storage. Literally none. It was hard to work in there. The stairs were done as a part of the boys room because the rails on the back wall and rail had/has to be replaced when we all the wall (its all connected).

Cats don’t usually pee or poop outside their litter box unless it is too full (one box with 2 cats might not be enough) OR….they are getting sick!! The 1st issue you just have to learn your cats…but get them checked out in case they are sick…. I speak from many years of raising varied fur babies!!

I think the older one was mad we got a new one :) they have different boxes in opposite sides of the house.

[@Angelina14799]

Lol....I've had animals do yucky things on a bed before, but we never had money to replace a mattress (this was in childhood). Nothing could escape my mother's cleaning abilities though. She cleaned the bedclothes and mattress within an inch of their lives and we moved on. I'm 47 years old and bought my first mattress as an adult in 2022.

[@mrslynnwhite]

Animals are so amazing and so gross sometime too. I guess we take the good with the bad. LOL

[@katchathuff3287]

Question: You mentioned that the previous owner was an elderly man...is it possible he may be suffering from early dementia and that is why he forgot about the leak and damage? I had a close family member who had dementia and when I hear about people (especially the elderly) forget things and have a change in personality I often think of possible dementia. Not saying this is the case with your situation, but when you mentioned the denial of using the bathroom when you stated it had clearly been used before your family moved in...I wondered...dementia? You know the situation and have dealt with this man so you obviously know more than me, but it is something to keep in mind. I guess since I have had personal experience dealing with someone with dementia...it always comes to my mind when dealing with confused and forgetful people (especially older people). In any event I just wanted you to know that I am a newer subscriber and I really enjoy your content. Have a blessed day!

[@mrslynnwhite]

He was older, but probably not elderly. I misspoke on that one. He was in absolute e sound mind every time we spent time together. However, he was a busy man. :) I have no ill-will. We just want to know fully what we are dealing with. :(

[@sherylAA]

Unless you just finished cleaning, I bet any ones house is messy. My house needs cleaning right now, yeah my house is a complete disaster. I need to follow your lead and not worry about my house being so clean when people come to my house, ( when i say people it can be a family member.) "yup, sorry my house is lived in". New motto... "we dont make messes, we make memories".

Hey Lynn and y'all! Having a great day today, doing some cleaning in my bedroom and I wanted to let y'all know about something that is working for me. I decided to try the Power Ersse gell from Scrub Daddy because it says it works on fabric for spot. So I wet a sponge and apply the gel and just let it set for a couple minutes then take a clean damp cloth and just rub the stains out. If it is something textured like a fluffy balnket or velvet drapes, alsonuse a clean dry cloth and rub the texture the wrong way until nealry all the moisture is gone then just smooth it down.

[@mrslynnwhite]

Thank you so much! Great tip.

[@janetstover7793]

Yes, the boys' bathroom has got to go. The mold definitely needs to be checked if the family has respiratory issues. Your asthma does not need to be affected. Friend, this can become serious if not dealt within a timely manner. On a positive note, it is very motivating! You always give a good pep talk in the midst of things. I gagged when mentioning the cat.🤮 Mothers even clean the dirtiest things! Have a wonderful week. See you in your next video.❤

The sealant in the shower is moulding because it's not the right stuff as you said if it's just decorating filler no use. It needs to be non moulding sealant. I really hope the damage underneath the shower isn't really bad. I think a wee check on the clean when the boys has done it, to make sure it's been done correctly😊 looks fantastic now 😀 👌
