Deep Cleaning Hacks for a SPOTLESS Home in Minutes

[@Clutterbug]

Now watch: Spaces in your Home you FORGOT to Deep Clean 🤮 kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3uZXn6rrpl0iNU

[@keaunapreheim3850]

I wanted you to know that after watching your channel, even in a house with emotional trauma and holes in the walls, I was inspired to find spaces to make beautiful. When I was finally able to get out and get a beautiful home for my children and me, you helped me start out with it organized and keep discovering ways to keep my mind and my home from being full of clutter. Thank you!

[@lifesabundantjourney]

Love this! If you are ever looking to do diy projects to fix holes and such the channel “renovision” has been lofe changing for me

[@allismimi]

Things I love about you and this video... 1- your gagging at the filters! So real and relatable. 2- your singing commentary, especially when doing the screens. Cracks me up! 3- that you use more vinegar and dish soap than chemically laden cleaners. Your family, your pets, your lungs and your planet thanks you! Good stuff Cas!!! ❤

[@BK-dr3px]

Along the same lines of your fridge cleaning hack... I always clean out my fridge and cabinets right before I get groceries (when my fridge and pantry are the most empty). It saves me so much time since I barely have to pull anything out to clean.

[@andreaplummer3841]

I do the same thing...also keeping my grocery list nearby so if a staple needs to be replaced/restocked, I can add it to the list then.

[@jstu8]

Same. Clean before shipping & grocery list on the fridge ❤ Keep it simple.

[@Glitch_Mode127]

Also, put a trash can next to you to purge things you are getting rid of so you don’t put it in a box in the first place.

[@ruthautumn7]

Same, I hate putting fresh groceries in a dirty fridge. I used to be a kitchen manager, and I'm a little bit psycho about the cleaning and organization of my kitchen.

[@paulinemoira8442]

Also, if your fridge has a freezer apartment, clean both at once. Detach the power source during cleaning to save on energy. Also also, if your fridge has a filter that is accessible from the back, clean that once a year. Similar to the drier that could be a fire hazard.

[@theresabrown1272]

My favorite tip was emptying everything from one shelf in the fridge into a box rather than carrying individual items to the counter which takes up so much more time and effort

[@beans4853]

This was such a lifesaver when I had to unexpectedly empty my fridge last week. Cut the time in half!

[@APcats]

I like pulling a table to the fridge.

[@bellaD7]

I use a deep edged tray. I mostly put the items from the fridge in the same order on the tray they were in the fridge so that when I put them back I’m not wasting time remembering how it all fitted. If you’re lucky enough to have a helper, it makes it easy for them to put everything back. 😁

[@Tired_Night_Owl_in_the_Woods]

[@sillymamacita3854]

Hahaha!!! I'm so not a morning person either. I finally had to become self employed bc it was such a struggle, and it's only better bc I can't fire myself. 😅 I'm late diagnosed adhd and have serious time blindness and it's so hard. Cas helps. 😁

[@rainbomg]

@@sillymamacita3854hearing my mom talk about the amount of effort she had to go through just to get me to school on time as a kid is crazy. It’s somewhat comforting, especially now, to know that I’ve always been this way, my entire life, my mornings have always been brutal. It doesn’t matter how much sleep. I’m not choosing to be this way. The time blindness thing has always been my biggest struggle, my most enduring trait, it was what made me seek out ADHD resources beyond meds from my doc bc I’ve been diagnosed since my 20s, but honestly never thought it had anything to do with everything that keeps causing problems in my life. I just thought it explained why I couldn’t hold focus and got bored easily in class and never did homework. I had no idea there was a bunch of stuff online for us to help us function better! Until recently, I just thought adhd was mostly school related stuff but it’s not! It’s been really helpful to seek out things specifically aimed at people with adhd. It’s wild how much it affects and how many of my worst traits are just symptoms.

I wash my curtains on the delicate cycle, then I hang them back up wet from the spin dry cycle. They dry at the window. No damage, no wrinkles, and my house smells fresh and clean ❤

[@Clutterbug]

You're welcome!

[@alicia_nicole]

Was is gross 😩

[@karenmiller3771]

🎉l worked for a fire restoration company. My teamed cleaned the house from smoke damage. We had to wipe down every surface with a damp cloth. The big no-no was to spray the walls directly. The liquid run down is what causes the streaks! Have the microfiber cloth folded to about a 4 in square. Spray the cloth and wipe, refolding the cloth as needed. When all the cloth's surfaces are dirty. Toss and get a new cloth. Repeat.

[@karenmiller3771]

For curtains and shades it was just the hose with no attachment pulling air through the fabric. I imagine if I was consistent with my own spring cleaning the duster or lint roller would be adequate, but I'm lazy and get behind, so it's the vacuum for me to reset back to square one.

[@heathersmeather]

Great advice!

[@violetamethyst1186]

Ha ha ha... Oh boy. My family survived a fire in the home we were renting in 2022 (scary electrical fire in the ceiling. Old wiring is scary.) We are STILL cleaning smoke damaged items, using a ratio of 1pt vinegar to 1pt water, and several scrub downs using that solution.

[@alyssaw9394]

Good point. I would NOT use power wash either on the wall! It will ruin bad paint jobs. It suds so much leaves residue unless wiped off.

[@melissablanchard6705]

[@beingilluminous]

The washer tip was phenomenal!! I moved into my Fiance's apartment seven months ago, he had lived here 5 years, I asked if there was anything needed to clean the washer because it was FUNKY.... I ran through bleach, vinegar, cleaned the front seal.....never knowing the depths of STANK that were hiding.... thank you for the warning for the smell...our front loader had slime mold in the filter.... now it's *allllll* better and we are BOTH thankful to you!

[@marysmith861]

Never mix bleach and vinegar. Ever. That's very dangerous.

[@ginger9475]

Before we go crazy disrespecting our ancestors/elders. It’s useful to notice that most of our modern efficiency in cleaning stems from our access to microfiber cloths. They’re based on some spooky Area-51ish microscopic technology that makes cleaning semi-miraculous. I remember cleaning before these things, and it was night and day. That said, the other reason we had to spend hours scrubbing, disassembling, reassembling, painting, rearranging, etc. things in the yard, is that our parents and grandparents were teaching us skills and a work ethic. They were actually very smart people, with a wide array of techniques and ridiculously specific tools, including brush technology, which was a thing. Weirdly, those days in the yard were some of my happiest memories. Never hesitate to set up your kids with a project. (Safely, of course.) They’ll thank you later. Speaking of thanks, your videos have taught me so many cool shortcuts. Thank you! 😄

[@Clutterbug]

You are very right. My parents taught me work ethic and how to do hard things, like use power tools and take things apart and fix them very young. I started corn detasseling at 10 years old. I learned that most chores (like emptying the dishwasher) are a cake walk compared with hard labour. My kids think putting away the laundry is a huge task, I'm like "bro please, I was building fences and putting new shingles on the roof at your age...you're over here complaining about putting a t-shirt on a hanger...sheesh" 🫣

[@patlatour2465]

❤loved your video and agreed about the stove cleaning lol don’t wait ten years lol 😝 thanks for dryer tip I think that was definetly a useful tip and an important one for any homeowner.😊

[@TiffanyPeever]

I just put a load of laundry in my dryer. I took the lint trap to the sink, and sure enough, the water didn’t flow through! I sprayed it, scrubbed it, and now it’s safe to use. Thanks for the tip! Safety first 😊

[@SD-mw1hz]

The film from fabric softener sheets she showed building up on the filter in your dryer also build up on your clothes, that is why your towels do not dry you off and your sheets and clothes do not breathe.

[@meanckz]

yeah, I wish I'd seen this a couple month ago....woulda saved me $300 in repair man cost - telling me this exact thing

​@SD-mw1hz I want to get a wool dryer ball to put lavender essential oil on so I can stop using dryer sheets. Even the "sensitive" sheets list a lot of unknown ingredients on the box.

Re dryer safety, if your dryer vents to the outside, that ductwork has to be cleaned out, as well.

We are a family of two adults. We have no pets. We hired a professional to clean our dryer and dryer vent.

It was truly worth it and I highly recommend it.

[@namedrop721]

Hang onto that guy and give him Christmas cookies and a barbecue invite!

[@a.randolph8112]

Just a disclaimer here....I'm a professional cleaner, this method of cleaning an oven ONLY works if you clean your oven on a regular basis (once or twice a year). It does NOT work if your oven is encased in an inch worth of 10 year crud. In that case, do yourself a favor, use the toxic oven cleaner and start cleaning your oven regularly after that. If you're ultra lazy, put some aluminum foil at the bottom to catch everything. Also, using vinegar in your washing machine will ruin the seals over time. You're better off using a dishwasher pod as its designed to be safe for machines.That said....great vid!

[@kimberlindy]

People should NOT line the bottom of some ovens with aluminum foil, as some oven manuals say NOT to do this. I had a tenant who did this and it broke the oven.

[@brisantiago6]

Are you talking about the laundry washing machine or the dishwasher? Thx!

[@ginger9475]

Both the laundry and dish washer machines have deep cleaning rituals and products which are outlined in your manual. I’m a lazy eco-hippie, so I usually source a more environment friendly deep cleaner, but I always use one designed for the specific application. And while we’re on the topic of the environment, those disposable dusters are made from virgin timber, usually from the Brazilian rainforest. So if we care about the lungs of the Earth, we might want to use a rag, or something less disposable instead. I know they’re tempting, I have one too, and then I read an article… 😱

[@xavthomas]

I disagree with this comment! I used to use the toxic oven cleaner and it did NOT work as well as baking soda mixed with dish soap. And I use eco dish soap, not Dawn.

[@tracyjohnson5023]

My washing machine is 30 years old and I've been using white vinegar instead of fabric softener the entire time and never had to replace seals. However, I don't use it every single wash, probably every 4th with hot water. Keeps the funk away for sure. I don't use fabric softener, I put a dry towel in with damp clothes in dryer, when solar dryer isn't usable. Dries things much faster.

[@sunflowers6172]

The paper towel holder on the vacuum, genius ❤

[@Clutterbug]

Glad you think so!

[@violetamethyst1186]

I use the paper towel roll on my vacuum for the inside of my dryer when I take the filter out, bc I don't have funds to get that fancy vacuum attachment rn! 😅

[@Kaiden-q2q]

the paper towel for underneath the dresser. Is a crevice tool most stick/up bright and canister vacuum cleaners have one

[@CG_Hali]

@@Kaiden-q2q Problem is that most of these attachments are very short and you can only clean underneath something at the very front. The paper one can flatten all the way under an oven for example.

Just water and either Dawn Platinum or Dawn Professional works fine to refill the rather expensive spray bottles. No need for any other ingredients-it is already in the Dawn* above. I buy the big bottles either at Cosco or Walmart-very economical. If you a Dawn that doesn't already have it, then you can add the alcohol. Hold your breath for a moment when you spray as the mist can enter lungs.

[@zhk3689]

I love ir too. Clean with it everything : granite, marble, plastic counters, kitchen cabinets, walls, baseboars, mirrors, tile, bath tubs, toilets (not inside), chrome fixtures and many more! Plus it's not toxic. They use it on wild animals and birds to clean them when oil tankers have spillages!

Riiight!! She reminds me, of Me! Is it ironic, I love her…. 🤔 😅💙

Same! She made me chuckle and now I want to clean everything! Plus the irony discussion at the end 😂 ! Following for sure now

I have been cleaning for 25 plus yrs professionally. Thanks for your advice on the drier filter all my clients love it when I d o extras to keep them save.

[@karenr7931]

WOW!! Twenty-five years?!! Hard work but it's one of the best jobs I've ever had. Did it for 12 years.

[@maryscarberry8600]

I've been cleaning homes for 35 yrs. Personally I don't use dryer sheets, but some of my customers do. I will be cleaning their lint traps with dawn dish soap. Thanks so much for the tip 😊

[@cindybovenistier9672]

Hi Cas. I have a son (aged 22 and trying to live alone). He has ADHD. The biggest struggle is : how to maintain a reasonable clean appartment. Ever since I folow your channel I found a ton of easy trics and am currently trying to make his space work for him. The key is to recondition your brain and simplify everithing. I've lurned so much about ADHD and the struggles who come with it. So many things are SO recognisable. Love the way you handle it. You make me smile with your story's. Still thinking about the story of the returning of the red shoes 😂

[@Squiddified83]

I have ADHD and the Sweepy app on Android has been a total game changer. Just set up needed tasks for each room, how often the task needs to be done, assign point values to each in terms of time/difficulty, decide the max points for each day and boom. It auto generates a new cleaning schedule each day, and I like that the tasks are somewhat random and something new every day. I hope this helps your son! Without this app I wouldn't even be thinking about cleaning my baseboards!

[@Lewis.Alcindor]

Nice video! One tip if you're often on your knees cleaning or doing repairs: get some sort of knee pads to save your knees from the hard surface. I use a $5 foam kneeling pad from Harbor Freight. It's basically a medium size rectangle of hard foam. I never took off the shrink wrap so that I could wipe off any dust or dirt off it more easily.

[@kathyconnolly4026]

Thank you so much, Cass, for mentioning that Mr. Clean Magic Eraser removes paint. So many people don't understand that cleaning walls is best when done gently. I suggest spraying the dirty area with warm water with a little Dawn dish soap in it. Walk away. Spray LIGHTLY again a few minutes later and wipe. Easy, no scrubbing, and paint stays in tact.

[@alicia_nicole]

Learned that the hard way 😑 im heavy handed and after scrubbing noticed the paint on the sponge

[@SLynch007]

@@kathyconnolly4026 I use Scrubbing Bubbles (yes, for the bathroom) on all of my walls because they don’t harm the flattest paint

[@granjmy]

Popping the window frames back onto the screens: "Like, it's easy...grunt...it's easy...grunt..." LOLOL!!! That was great!

And at the end saying "oooh I'm outta shape" hooooly 😂

[@stacygault6362]

Every face and reaction you had cleaning was SPOT on! Hahaha! This was a helpful reminder of the little things we forget about when cleaning or put off because we feel It’s going to be a “chore!” You’ve got me feeling inspired to get on it today! Yay 🙌🏻

[@lilythebassetpuppy]

It's very possible your mom simply ENJOYED cleaning. Before my health failed me, I was a fan of house cleaning. It sounds crazy but it gets your mind de-stressed and the instant gratification you get afterwards, feels amazing. So what may have seemed like wasted time to you, may have been simply her ENJOYING cleaning, as crazy as it sounds, some of us truly like cleaning house. ❤

[@spotterofgold]

On the Wikipedia page for "Irony" I found this:"*Cosmic irony*, sometimes also called 'the irony of fate', presents agents as always ultimately thwarted by forces beyond human control..." A rain storm occurring right after washing one's windows or car would definitely be "forces beyond human control" thwarting the intentions of someone who has just washed her windows or car, in my opinion. Great and inspiring video, Cass! Thank you!

[@mariacouras9800]

I love the way you do the job. For 33 years I have been doing similar, cleaning with counscience not using unnecessary extra products, same perfect results.

[@lorrainerietz5112]

Thanks for the dryer tip - no one wants a fire! Great video. You make cleaning fun.

[@kimberlylottridge3961]

Sarcasm is one form of irony(verbal irony). There is situational irony when the outcome is opposite of what you expect it to be (the fire station catches fire and burns down). Dramatic irony is when the audience knows something the character doesn't (horror films: we see the killer hiding behind the door and scream at the heroine not to go in that room). The more you know:)

[@annettejohnsson4633]

Thank you for the checklist. Even though I know I need to do a full ceiling to floor, wall to wall cleaning, my painful physical limitations just make it almost impossible for me to do things anymore.I have to leave almost all of it to my husband to do, which bothers me because I hate asking him to do so much while he still works a full time job and is tired. Now that my adult son moved back in for a time, I can have him help me with getting "one thing done a day" & hopefully have this place spic & span within 30 days. 🙂 I love watching your videos. I take away something new with each one!

[@melnissen7188]

Volume 44 legally blind, I have the immune disorder Ms it's called cidp that affects my walking and the causes great pain and I have lupus I understand what you're saying completely when I do to serve my family is when I feel like it and I know I can I tackle something and I hit it hard. I also make sure that every night before I go to bed the sink is cleaned out dried the counters are wiped the handles the refrigerator the stove hood and the table are just washed off one rag dish soap and water. My husband does help me clean everything that's up high and he does both showers because I can't do to fall risks I felt useless in my life and I prayed to God asking what can I do to serve anybody including my family. I literally heard something say to me whether it's God or my mind I'm not sure but it said you know how to clean do it when you're tired stop! Hopefully this helps a little! You've got this! We are tough women😊

Not a word - but a term: Murphy's law (or in the UK: sod's law). Basically, if something can go wrong, it will. So in your case, it almost feels like the weather was holding off until you'd washed your windows 🙃. Really great channel, and you're so cheerful - makes a difference in this dark, dark world - so thanks 🌻

Cas, thankyou for sharing these tips! I got up this morning and washed the seal around the dishwasher, the dryer vent, the washer seal and vent and that smelled like A $$, totally needed it! The oven door needed love so I scrubbed that down. Tomorrow, the Microwave and fridge!! Thank you again!!!

[@SD-mw1hz]

To clean microwave, roll a lemon between your hands to loosen up the juices, cut it in half and squeeze all the juice into a bowl, then add one cup of water. Drop in the lemon halves and place the bowl in your microwave. Run the microwave on high for five minutes. The water will be boiling temp. I use a 2 cup glass pyrex measuring cup so I can pick it up by the handle with an oven mitt and remove. This will cause a nice steam and any splatters loosen up and wipe off easy. The lemon makes it smell nice and clean.. Wipe it clean, and you're done!

[@latoyab5071]

😮MG! I just cleaned my dryer filter & I had the invisible film on it. It literally took the same amount of time of washing your hands. You can tell the difference instantly. I ❤ learning something new. Thank you Cas 🐞

I love the Pink Stuff for cleaning my oven. Best thing I've ever used. The hardest part of cleaning the oven for me is reaching into to back. That's so uncomfortable (I'm short). I don't use dryer sheets, or fabric softener anymore. I have learned that putting about 1/4 cup of white vinegar in with the wash softens the cloths just as well.

[@crazycatlady6396]

Thanks, I was wondering how much to use!

[@cindy844]

​@@crazycatlady6396same

[@NoLongerIWhoLive]

You can slide the oven door up and off the hinges be able to reach the back of the oven more easily. My oven door can only be pulled off from the slightly open position, not the fully open position.

[@DiRidpath]

That's for a full load. If I have a smaller load I use less. I just put it where you're supposed to add the fabric softener.​@@crazycatlady6396

[@DiRidpath]

​@@NoLongerIWhoLiveThanks! I didn't know that. My luck I'd get it off and not be able to get it back on. 😁

[@emilysmith2784]

So many great tips. I feel inspired to clean my fridge now. Will I? Probably not but you inspired the thought 😂. Only thing I disagree with is cleaning curtains. If you have pets or cook lots of stinky food curtains can start to smell. I wash mine every other year, upstairs one year and downstairs the next. I made all my curtains though so I know the fabric was pre washed and those hems are solid. You could always just pop stinky curtains on the line for a few hours though if you are worried about shrinking. Let the UV rays do the hard work 😊
