ORGANIZING Neglected Spaces In My Messy House 😅 CLEAN & ORGANIZE WITH ME MOTIVATION 🧼

[@emilyanschuetz8409]

I normally don’t care for cleaning videos unless they are yours! The fact that you talk through them (nearly) the entire time is very engaging and helpful. And I’ve said it once but I’ll say it again, the way you vacuum is so satisfying!

[@MaiZimmy]

Thank you!!! That means a lot ☺️☺️

[@khaoylel]

Huge ditto to this!! I have no interest in listening to crappy royalty free pop music for a half hour while someone wipes down a spotless house. Mai’s are the perfect cleaning videos!

[@jonjharrington]

Oh I am glad that you face the same problem we do. Tidy the kitchen and then 2 meals later I wondered why I bothered...

[@sammym1311]

I think it's wonderful that you can tackle areas of your house so much faster now that you have decluttered! It inspires me to keep on it... love spending time with you!

[@MaiZimmy]

Yes!!! My house still has a ways to go, but I’ve come so far and it really makes overall cleaning much easier :)

[@michellewanner3921]

The cleaning duty I dread the most is the tub. Love your honest reviews on products.

[@quietintheback3809]

Have you thought about putting hubby’s dvds in storage books? The large ones can hold hundreds of discs. When I did it to my kids’ dvds, it was kind of shocking how much space and time it freed up. Great videos, hope this helps 👍🏻

[@autumngatchell1724]

We did this for our dvd collection and it saves so much space, highly recommend!

[@jordanvejtasa446]

I did this for all of my movies too and it is so much nicer!!

[@MaiZimmy]

Ill have to run that by my husband, but sounds great to me!!

[@courtneypuckett7037]

That’s what we do too. I have the cases in a plastic bin in the attic and then a zippered cd binder to keep the cds in.

[@annw1395]

I prefer to keep them in the cases. I was actually thinking to move hubby's DVD's to the cabinet shelves below. Put them vertically in plastic bins: then you can slide out the bin or box, and (bc they're vertical) you can see each title. Then the drawers can be used for cables.

[@rosearthur983]

Enjoyed watching this video. (mystery cabinets...lol!) So down to earth & motivating!

[@jennym881]

Your videos have motivated me to start my own decluttering in my home. I love your videos. Keep it up. 🥰

[@dextersonntag5674]

Tub cleaner suggestion! Liquid bar keepers friend, squirt it on when you start cleaning the bathroom, let it sit for a bit. Then just wipe with micro fiber cloth. Grime and stains gone! Also works great as toilet bowl cleaner :)

[@MaiZimmy]

Thank you!

[@livinglifemindfully]

Perfect upload time. I can watch while I drink my morning coffee and get ready for my workday. 💜

[@lily_white]

Thanks for trying out that bathtub scrubber. For those of us who are spoonies(have disabilities/chronic pain), things like cleaning a tub/shower is really difficult. There are Electric Spinbrushes for showers with a long handle that you could try. I've been looking at them for awhile, but the reviews are completely polar.

[@karendunlop3534]

I’m a Spoonie and I use the OXO Tile Scrubber in my shower. It isn’t perfect but it’s the best option I have found. It has the scouring pad, like the one Mai had, and you can also buy a brush head for it. I would definitely recommend it for people like me, who don’t really have the option of going down on hands and knees. I hope this helps.

[@lily_white]

@@karendunlop3534 I'll look into it thanks.

[@cmak1212]

I second the suggestion someone else made to get a DVD storage container. We took the DVDs out of their cases, put them in the container (like a photo in a photo album). I put all the cases in a large storage container in the basement. I love not taking up a ton of space with DVDs. For the tub, try dawn dish soap mixed with vinegar in a spray bottle. You can google the recipe. It works great. Loved the video.

[@patkern185]

Mai, you are a ball of fire when you're cleaning. I think you do a great job taking care of your home and family and watching your progress has been inspiring and motivating. Amazon has a fillable paint pen you can use for small touch ups. You just draw paint up into it and use it when you need it. That would save getting the paint can out for small touch ups. Great video again! XXOO ❤️

[@rhondaforsyth8377]

Real life with kids love your content

[@jenniferwright8355]

For the bathtub - my husband bought a brush attachment for his drill on Amazon. It works really well! it hasn't been damaging either.

[@sarablair8715]

I love using the magic eraser mop for the tub and shower! It’s literally just a giant magic eraser with a long handle. I don’t feel like it takes as much elbow grease at all!

[@emilyerojas]

I just decluttered all my dvds since we have every single streaming service, basically. The ones we wanted to keep, I got rid of the bulky plastic cover and put the disc in a cd binder. Same with the Xbox games and it frees up so much space

[@khaoylel]

I like that scrubber wand best for the shower walls. Then I don’t have to stand in the tub to clean them. I’ve never used it in the actual tub like that, but I can see how it’d be tough to get the real strength behind it necessary for the textured tub bottom.

[@MaiZimmy]

100% agree! I’ve been using it in my shower lately (filmed this video a while ago) and love it for cleaning hard water stains of the glass and brightening up tile

[@joyindrelie6715]

Another idea for labeling drawers for those who don't want to see the labels when the drawers are closed: You can put the label on the side inside the drawer. It's a lot easier to see than it sounds!

[@heatherm8848]

Those bags that suck the air out of pillows to store them flat are amazing.

[@lisafitzpatrick885]

I love watching your videos.

[@daniellej5778]

I took all my husbands games and our movies and put them in a cd case. It has saved so much space

[@loridaou2897]

Love your videos. Would love more info in cleaning the textured surface of tubs and showers. I just can’t seem to get the scum off my shower bottom. Thanks Mai, you are very relatable.

[@MaiZimmy]

I’ll keep trying new tactics!!! 😁

[@markiecleans5923]

At my home we do have streaming services, but we also do online gaming so having DVDs helps. I have a folder system for mine. Amazon has super cute DVD folders that look like books if thats what you're into. I have about 500+ dvds so organizing them does take all day.

[@sms10922]

The trash can thing - I saw a hack on tik tok where if you have sick kids you can put a mini glow stick in the trash so they know where to aim in the middle of the night. Could use something similar for your boys and tissues

[@MaiZimmy]

I saw that!!! Genius! Then I tried that once. It just resulted in them playing with glow sticks in their room and staying up way too late 😂😂 I had to take them lol

[@jennifertull5158]

Another great video! It was just the motivation I needed to get my kitchen cleaned before I go to work. Thank you!!!

[@sonyahubbard3226]

Good job! And yes 😣 the kitchen is always in need 😣

Happy Monday!

[@jessieperez6984]

We use a CD case holder for our massive movie and video games collection. No plastic breakable holders and way less space taken up

[@annw1395]

You got a ton done! It's always amazing what a difference it makes even to just tidy up! You don't want to be dragging any heavy furniture -- that will damage the legs. Need two people to lift it. Also, I wouldn't put sticky labels on your beautiful wood -- they can ruin the finish.

[@MaiZimmy]

Thank you!! And they aren’t that sticky, they peel off fairly easily so it should be fine :)

[@antekpiekutosky818]

Beautiful ! ❤️❤️❤️ perfect by clip .. in office working cleaning organising old papers - sorting ripping , .Can You make that clip?

[@jackie5123]

Have you tried the spin mop on your walls yet? I do the gocleanco tide recipe and just wash my walls at the end, it helps so much!

[@bonnieharper9349]

Could you list the carpet spot cleaner and where you got it thank you?

[@kimberlymerrick3475]

Totally curious why you add epsom salt to your kiddos bath? I have one daughter that’s very eczema prone so I always worry about stripping her skin accidentally with harsh products. Definitely try the classic Soft Scrub with bleach (the pasty kind not gel) and your most aggressively stiff cleaning brush to clean a textured tub! It’s magic

[@Vick77777]

Hi Mai. This was such an awesome video per usual. TYSM. Love your channel. God bless. HUGS

[@jenniferr1279]

I have 5 boys and I have 4 vacuums too. One I keep upstairs and one is pretty much on its last leg, but I use all of them constantly. Kids are messy!

[@abmarinova5119]

Hi Mai! How is the AirBnB going? Would love to see an update (if you have the time for it) 🙂

[@novanorman1091]

A place for everything and everything in its place…. Cool media room.

[@lily_white]

For me, it helps to have an empty tissue box right next to my full tissue box. That way in the middle of the night, i can take one out of one, blow, and put it into the "empty" trash box

[@lily_white]

Also, it would make more sense to keep all your back ups in the same place instead of spread out over 2-3 bathrooms and a closet. Yes, you'd need to go to another room for a new bottle, but that way you only need to go to ONE place to see if you already have replacements instead of 2-4. (just a suggestion)

[@Slauterbach]

Hey mai! I love your entertainment center… We are in the market for a new one and I love the drawers, where did you get it?

[@MaiZimmy]

Costco a few years ago! It’s discontinued at this point but we like the quality of the furniture there

[@khaleesi30]

Hello, Mai. I was wondering what label printing thing you used to label your entertainment dresser, like for your games, movies and things?

[@MaiZimmy]

I will add the link now it in the description box :)

Hi Mai. I don't know if there is any possible way of filming tomorrow what you couldn't film today. If so, that would be SO awesome. NO PRESSURE. Such a wonderful video this morning. TYSM! God bless.

[@deniselewallen6003]

I used the dvd sleeves from amazon. I p put 50 dvds in individual sleeves, used the cover out ofthe case. I went from 2 1/2 baskets full to barely 1/2 of one basket. Can you do that with the video games. You don't really need the case. Or store cases elsewhere if you decide you need them 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@loislandman520]

what was the name of the carpet cleaner in the white bottle you used? I need it bad. Thanks

[@dannifulker7494]

Thank you 👍🏻😊

[@kamiifae]

Not sure what year your husband's xbox/ps4 is but my husband signed up for EA Play so all his games are on the web and there's no physical disc

[@sc0359]

Love your videos!

[@heatherwoods23]

Maybe get a couple of dvd folders from Walmart and take all the games and dvds out of the cases and store them in the dvd zip folder. It would save so much space! You could have one for dvds and one for games.

[@katierobinson5368]

Love your slippers! Where are they from?

[@MaiZimmy]

I dunno! my mom got them for me i think from a local vendor up in Minnesota. There are no tags and printing on them. I call them my Peter Pan slippers and I love them lol

[@danik.2538]

Maybe try glow in the dark tape or stickers on the trash can so they can see it in the dark

[@casualdrifter5226]

It’s not an oculus. I think it’s the ps vr set and they are a pain so that’s probably why he doesn’t use it much. Have you considered switching to an album for the dvds and games? Takes up way less space and looks better too!

[@MaiZimmy]

Is an oculus worth getting??? I’ve never done any vr stuff but the media keeps telling me it’s gonna take over haha

Are use a dollar store room to wash out my bathtub and shampoo I keep it in the shower caddy without the handle so I can quickly do the walls while I’m taking a shower and the sides of the tub which is bending over a little looks great

[@TheLivableLife]

Do your video games fit in the drawer standing up like you have the DVDs? Or is the drawer a different size? Might make it easier to store them so you can see the titles! :) love your videos Mai!

Every time you boast about how cheap something you bought was, I think that there has to be a lot of Irish in you. Because if you compliment an Irish person on something they are wearing they will immediately tell you were they bought it and how cheap it was, we wear bargains like a Badge of honour. So "Mrs O'Zimmy". Greetings from Co Offaly, Ireland you are my kind of girl...lol

Haha I think me 23andme said I had a tiny percent :)
