Cleaning: From junk room to craft room!

This is a junk room that desperately wanted to be reclaimed back into its original purpose: a craft room. There's more dog hair in this room than I've seen in a long, long time. The vacuuming is pretty crazy.

[@BarWatch]

omg, I have a room like this too. It's a smallest spare bedroom. Started out great and only used as a large 'walk-in closet'. Kept it super clean and organized with no problem. Then after inviting a woman into our home to inspect our roof after a storm for damage, husband brings his small ladder into this room's closet so she can access the attic. He left it there and left a mess in the closet after she does the inspection. Well, months went by and husband still hasn't removed the ladder and cleaned the mess. I waited, gave up. The room is now full of clothes and disorganized to the max. I hate the room now. BUT, this video inspired me to get the job done.

[@katerossthebosss]

Found your channel while at work. Currently depressed right now and trying to get the motivation to clean my room. This is definitely helping. Keep up the good work! :)

[@KarMa-ws3ll]

you can do it! Don exhaust yourself trying to get the whole thing done. Time 5 minutes and just do that! u can do 5 minutes!

[@carolg.6838]

Kate, I understand depression and mess. What helps me is to make one thing that needs to be done a habit like laundry or dishes. If I am not motivated to work on something on the list of things to do, then I will clean something else. I am happy with what I got done even though I wish I had more done. Sometimes things take longer to do than expected. I have to stop the negative self talk because I have made much cleaning progress lately. Eventually the habits and progress will add up, and that is rewarding and motivating.

[@elnorahernandez3033]

I have a grandson with Asperbergers which is hfa autism. Sometimes I have to show him how to do things 20 times but I do. I want him to have a neat home when I’m gone. He’s the kindness and loving boy. Sir, you are a role model for people on the autism spectrum. My grandson likes to watch your videos. I hope it gives him more encouragement. Keep up the great work.

[@dianemwood]

Kate, I am where you are. I wake up with the desire and that gets derailed. I at least keep my kitchen and bathrooms clean, every place else is overwhelming. I’m glad someone understands.

Very nice transformation! 👍 You probably just sold a number of vacuums for Hoover! Maybe send them this video and ask if they would sponsor your clips every now and then. Any possibility you could post a link of the model you were using? Thanks so much!

[@vacuzman]

I believe that Walmart has that Hoover Vacuum for $59 (Regular is like $120). This is on their Black Friday Deals and he has probably helped them sell a huge amount of them.. Might get one myself.

i can't believe i'm sitting here enjoying watching you vacuum lol I recently went about 6 months without a vacuum and with a husky. i finally was able to buy one, and actually got the same kind as you (just slightly different. it even sounds the same lol). it was SO satisfying to run it over all that dog hair, i musta vacuumed for a good 2 hours or more and dumped the canister over 20 times. it was amazing. so watching this is like relieving that glorious night LOL

[@karenpruitt6833]

I found at the restaurant I worked at, a regular straw broom works on rugs & carpets just like on hard floors. Just sweep lightly over surface. Some times works better than a vacuum.

[@wendyeskelin8765]

The dog is probably like what the heck, I thought it was being cleaned for me to have my own space nice and tidy :)

Thanks for the interesting intro about the room and the lady and the dog. You are very talented and well suited for the cleaning business. I am hoping to pick up cleaning and decluttering strategies. And I could also use some of your patience, perseverance, and energy to do huge jobs. I smashed the LIKE button for you.

[@gregallsmagic]

I’m currently in the process of getting tested for autism. I happen to love vacuums. I have three. Some vacuums are soothing to listen to. What gives me a good feeling is that it picks up dirt off of floors and rugs making me feel clean. I also like when the carpet gets groomed.

[@aussernllc]

Wait till you get the carpet shampooer. ASMR extreme. Loved my carpet shampooer so much that it is one of my early KZbin videos. Cleaning out the reservoir tank is satisfying.

[@headron66]

@Gregalls Magic. I so wish you lived near me as I have a very old Kirby upright hoover that might have given you some joy. I just love that you have found peace in the sound of the vacuum. 👍

[@Somewhereintime22]

I’ve been in educational testing for years and have come to believe that we all have some type or symptoms of disorders or syndromes. I definitely see “shadow” symptoms in myself because order, repetitive actions (especially replayed to cleaning and organizing) tend to relax me and make my life calmer. Neurodiversity is really a wonderful thing though. What a boring world it would be if we were all alike. I believe we’re all here for a purpose…and what a wonderful contribution you’re making in helping so many with your particular talents. Your expertise and kindness is doing much good.

[@FaenumVena]

I hate them particularly this type, because they make a high pitched whine that cuts right through my head, I had to turn the audio off cos it was getting me. Im the same with polystyrene, I can hear the high pitched squeek it makes and it makes me shudder. Cat scarers do the same thing. Im 36 and should not be able to hear these things still, but I can and it drives me crazy.

[@kellyngrey4950]

I hate the noise, but I LOVE vacuuming. I like the lines. Plus, dumping out the container at the end, all that dirt and hair? So satisfying.

[@chanalowenthal3897]

A trick I know is to use a squeegee on a broomstick to get up most of the hair first. Then go over with a strong vacuum. But you did great. Impressive

[@kathykeller9652]

In our area if we have furniture or things that still have use, we set them on our curb with a free sign. It is usually gone that same day. Then it doesn't go to the dump and someone else can use it. We also have a Facebook page that is for our two small towns. They tell what it is and say curb alert. Sometimes there is a race to pick things up.

[@leheli7838]

[@alwaysbeingbelle4409]

This is basically what my craft/treadmill room looks like too! I can’t wait to clean it and get it back to normal. It’s hard having a finished basement (where my room is located) because our storage spaces are greatly reduced compared to an unfinished basement.

[@LauraMacMillan-cp9yk]

I’m 70 and this is something I‘be been concerned about, too; especially in the last couple of years. I decluttered hard-core for 3 months about six months ago. I got about half the house done and got so thoroughly sick of the job that I haven’t done anything more since then. Trying to get my motivation back so I can finish the job! On the plus side - the areas I have already done have stayed done. Likely because I don’t have a houseful of kids & pets anymore!

[@kayrussow8517]

The office looks great! The carpet was holding a small dog 🐶 - glad you didn't edit it, and you did go over the carpet again too.

[@genevievewhitley2515]

I think everything about this channel & how you approach the world is just about the best thing EVER! I don’t really quite have the right words to explain just how much it resembles me & is therefore very relatable in a world where that is definitely the exception & not the norm. 🤗 One small item of concern. I’m also an autistic person & I LOVE vacuuming because it calms my hyper-active mind. I also like cleaning & fixing vacuums. As the canister got fuller & the motor got higher pitched due to the strain put on the vacuum’s suctioning capabilities, I got increasingly anxious (not your fault of course, just MY thing) When the canister gets full like that it is SUPER helpful to clean it before continuing, even tho it can be kind of a pain. You will love the effect, I promise & the vacuum will last much longer. Thanks for all the fab cleaning content AND a rare opportunity in this world to witness how everybody wins when everybody wins! 🙏🏼🕊️

[@Sweatpea12]

[@annepoitrineau5650]

This reminds me of my partner's music room. Except he does not have a dog. Rule number one, for any kind of such room (hobby, music etc) get yourself shelving, more than you think you will need (not nearly enough in the room you showed us). Two reasons. 1- of course you can put stuff away=vertical storage and you can see everything. 2-If you, like my partner or the owner of the room featured today, are a believer in horizontal storage=the floor, you end up with a room where you can't move, moreover, finding anything becomes a chore; bending, digging, so you give up and the mess accumulates. little trolleys on wheels that fit undere the table (maximum possible height) are very useful. My, that carpet was minging! It needed shampooing really, but you did a fantastic job.
