No one Cleaned for Months! Free Cleaning 🧽 for Overwhelmed Family

This kitchen was extremely filthy!! Thanks so much for hanging out with us for this new extreme / massive kitchen declutter!! WOAH did we declutter. Thankfully the homeowner let us get rid of more than half of the things in the kitchen. We tossed 50% if not more! There were rusty knives and dishes everywhere. It was so bad they no longer ate in the kitchen. We hope this video gives you some motivation to declutter and/or organize your kitchen!
But, there was more than just dirty dishes and counters. Until we cleaned it, it was unsanitary for them to eat in this kitchen, watch the video to find out why. You will be amazed by this extreme cleaning journey. Watch this kitchen go from filthy to beautiful right before your eyes. The best part was that the owner of this home found the motivation to clean the rest of her home, thanks to watching her daughter's room and the kitchen getting cleaned. Sometimes, you just need a little head start to find the motivation to change your life.

I am a professional cleaner and we see it all. Too many people have too much stuff! It makes more work and takes more time to clean. Simplify and declutter. Get rid of stuff that is.not used, worn, read, etc. If it doesn’t have a home, it needs to go. Ideally it would be helpful to go through our house once a year to purge papers, our clothes, toys, bedrooms, bathrooms, family and living rooms, kitchen, linen closet, and garage. So refreshing to see a clean and neat house!

[@goldenhourss]

so true. after i finish studying i'm going to start the decluttering process :3

[@flygirlfly]

I would have put everything in laundry baskets, taken it outside. Instead of moving stuff back & forth, Then deep cleaned all the surfaces. Brought back the items, cleaned/sorted/discarded.

[@memeoti6266]

I think sort and discard first, then you're only moving what you need to.

[@cwoww76]

Just a tip. Borax and boiling water in the sink to allow the cutlery to soak about 15 minutes. Rinse well and then wash as normal. I like to allow the products to work for me while I tackle another issue.

[@crystalanna3103]

You have any other tips bc this one was just a game changer for me?

[@mala3isity]

They had limited time and I would've tackled the things that need to dwell first. It helps when you see the job first. I would've brought Sterilite 64 qt. storage bins, a few bottles of white vinegar and dish soap. Piled all those dishes into the containers, taken them outside, vinegar/soap and hose water and let them soak. Sinks, oven, refrigerator doors and sides get Easy-Off and plastic wrap, let them dwell. Then start the counters. Clean and bleach solution, let it air dry. Then tackle the sinks and dishes.

Another tip? Finish off the appliances with isopropyl alcohol (not on stainless tho). It removes the last layer of cleaning residue, and yes you always have a residue because to "repel" dirt, hair, and grime... But it actually attracts and holds. The alcohol allows the foreign dirt to release. I've been professionally cleaning houses since 2015. You all did amazing and used so many great products

Thank you, this was our hardest cleaning job yet - we appreciate your comment and tip!

Easy cleaning tip! When wiping stuff off of counters, like dirt, debris, napkins, food particles, I sweep them onto my dust pan. I save more paper towels that way, and it's easier to steer toward the trash can.

[@CleanFreakGermaphobe]

Great tip, now where’s my dust pan? I don’t own one so I didn’t even think of that. I don’t always remember but, like you, I prefer to use something reusable over single use.

I use a bench scraper to scrape off the heavy debris from counter tops into garbage can then use the paper towels . . . you would be amazed at how much the metal bench scraper can remove the sticky residue without a lot of effort . . almost like using a giant razor blade . . .

[@headshotproductions4052]

Great job ladies! I’m also OCD about cleaning and organizing. I’ve found that using a scraper that comes with both metal and plastic blades, less than $10 on Amazon is so much easier at getting grease crud from around faucets, oven, burners, etc than brushes. The best thing I ever bought besides the Scrub Daddy products which are also amazing!

Those cruddy pans you threw away could have been salvaged. Next time, take them outside, spray with oven cleaner, let sit while you clean other things, then wipe them down and wash.

You girls did great! I bet this family is truly gateful. I only have one suggestion though, you can buy terry cloth, microfiber, cotton and other rags really cheap. That can be rinsed and washed, instead of going through so many paper towels. That is so inefficient and with our paper product shortage, probably not the best way to go... Also the rags give you more scrubbing power... Some even more absorbency also. Also the dishes you tossed, could have been saved/cleaned... Not the first two pans, but the others, elbow grease, brillo pad and dawn would have done the trick and they could have been donated to new family just starting out or a family in need that cannot afford to buy dishes... Just a thought...

[@CleanFreakGermaphobe]

We usually use clothes but honestly they get so gross when it’s this much. I usually end up tossing them at the end. I could go through several. The homeowner made the call on the dishes. We honored what she wanted. Some of the dishes and silverware were very rusty. We tried cleaning some of it but it was not coming clean. Not like popping into the dishwasher.

Soapy water vs. paper, a conundrum that disturbed me so much I asked a few ecological non-profits which was better. This was around 2010. Most of them wouldn't commit to an answer. One said they didn't know (respect) and one definitively said paper over cloths. Reasoning that once water is soapy, it's always soapy. Cloths need to be washed. Trees grown by paper companies are renewable, water isn't. There's only so much water. I hadn't thought of it in those terms and now I see why most of them said it was a personal choice. This also impacts my need to rinse everything with water. Just using paper towels to clean up the cleaning product and calling it done doesn't do it for me. Thought food, right?

Just make sure you are always spraying bleach or lysol on mouse droppings, even if you don't live in an area that is known for hantavirus, just to be sure. Also those caked on pans are totally salvageable, scrape off what you can with a metal scraper and spray on oven cleaner and let it sit. Then if there is still some stuck on after the oven cleaner you can remove scrub daddy's power paste, it removes just about everything.

Dawn dish soap and white vinegar. Mix 50/50 in spray bottle. Spray on everything (dishes too) let soak at least one hour in this case... wipe clean with paper towels.

[@johnkelly9451]

p.s. For normal dirt, above mix, one quarter dawn to three quarters vinegar...can use vinegar and water for quick wipe if already clean. These mixes have saved me hours for stoves, grease, counters, showers. Never use vinegar on marble. test small spot first...

[@CleanFreakGermaphobe]

Great tips! I was really hoping the Dawn dish spray would work. But next time I’d try your suggestion. We had only 6 hours to do as much as we could. Seems like a lot but there was so much to go through. I’m not sure anything would’ve worked on the trust with the time we had to do it. Thank you!

YES!! "Bar Keepers Friend" I was surprised it hadn't been mentioned yet. It's been my "go to" for many years, and it's so inexpensive. A disagree a tiny bit on one point; B. Friend is powdered like Comet, but it doesn't scratch and can be used on so many surfaces. Sometimes I'll have a stain on my formica countertop, and just wetting and scrubbing doesn't get it all out. Then I make a paste, paint it on, and leave it for a couple of hours. Also it doesn't smell bad - always helps!

When I finally stopped being hospitalized and having surgeries, I’m just now getting my house on track. My husband got severely depressed and he was in and out of the hospital with me surgery after surgery. It was crazy. I can’t clean like I used to so I have to pick 1 day to clean and have 2 days to literally rest. I wash dishes by hand even though we have a working dishwasher. It’s just habit from growing up and we had a dishwasher when I was growing up.

You girls are amazing. New subbing.

This is the second video we’ve seen. The initial video was the elderly man ( black kitchen floor) whose wife died 13 yrs ago and didn’t know better. Mom and I are concerned about your breathing with the cleansers and the dirt you are exposed to. A mask? Wonderful how you motivated the homeowner and got her back on track psychologically to take over! Well done!

All those dishes could've been cleaned. I would've used a lot more soap and bleach on everything. Scrubber sponges wouldve cleaned up quicker. Paper towels and soft scrub just isn't going to cut it in this kind of mess.

[@karenpennington5073]

Please remember to wipe the cords on those appliances,laying in ,ice dropping ‘s yuck. Yes,I clean the top of my microwave. Great job!

Bars keeper works really well on pots and pans and on the sink. I even use it on my bathtub.

[@battmom56crl]

Isn't it great? I use it on almost everything, inside and outside. Not such a fan of the liquid scrub B.K. Friend tho, hard to get it completely rinsed off.

[@salliewalker4141]

Great job 👍👌👍👌👍

[@lisamannino4556]

For cleaning the microwave. Pour a cup of white cleaning vinegar into the microwave. Remove the dish first and set the microwave for five minutes. Afterwards take a micro fiber rag and wipe the inside of the microwave. It will come out looking new.

[@sandreawhite7534]

Amazing.

[@DS-rm7px]

Aw sad to see so much that was thrown away! If you encounter a similar kitchen again please bring oven cleaner! You could have saved all of those pans and silver at least!

[@battmom56crl]

Besides the owner asking them to toss what was really bad, there was a time element that day and even after they soaked, it would most likely take quite a while to get them thoroughly clean.

Great job cleaning! However, I can't quite make out the details. Could you please tell me what you used to clean the toaster? Thank you.

[@marthamorris9202]

I started using power paste this stuff is amazing!!

[@headshotproductions4052]

I love that too

[@briidggeett]

These videos are my new addiction lol

[@MDSMITH9]

I’d never use one of those dishes. I’d throw them away too.

[@Oodb2]

And it had such nice appliances and fixtures….

[@helenhamilton9561]

What product did you use on the stainless steel toaster to make it shine?

[@JeanneOlson-vv9tl]

Powdered old fashioned cleanser. Ajax is a brand that comes to mind. Bleach & White vinegar works wonders. And slightly used foil, can work better than brilow like scrubbing. Crumble it up(reg foil, not heavy duty) does wonders. Dish soap w shaker powdered cleaner. Cuts grease very well.

[@lorie2473]

what did you use to disinfect and what did you use on the microwave outside

[@elliottvic]

Didn’t need to throw all those dishes away. Could’ve been cleaned. Use oven cleaner on the baking sheets. Soak the other dishes in hot water. Would’ve still been useable. Enjoyed watching. ❤

[@kgaletin]

Next time, SCRUB DADDY and a glass scraper. Both work like a charm.

[@tonyahenry4167]

I hope she gets the help she needs

[@Momfirsttoday]

The longest paper towel I have used is Viva! ❤
