Those scrub cloths are my favorite cleaning tool. It gets used regularly in my kitchen. I love the smooth side for cleaning the faucet and the scrubby side is perfect for cookware needing some extra scrubbing, and the sink. And then it’s washable?! So great.

[@cleanmyspace]

I'm glad you love the scrub cloths! They are definitely a game-changer in the kitchen.

[@ioanahance2774]

Thank you for this video! And also wanted to say a big THANK YOU for your mop! I moved into a house with a lot of LVP. The manufacturer recommends using ammonia based cleaners which I don’t want to use for health/ environmental/ pets concerns and they advise against using soapy cleaners. I remembered your advise to use dilute vinegar for LVP, and cleaning my LVP with your mop and dilute vinegar has been life changing! Thank you for all your tips and products! ❤

[@cleanmyspace]

I'm so glad to hear that my tips and products have been helpful for you!

Thanks! I needed motivation to clean the hall bath today!

That's awesome! Hope the video gave you the push you needed!

[@elvapatt]

A year ago I got into a cleaning frenzy. Your videos helped so much I cannot tell you. I’m in your area but unfortunately I am just north of Highway 7 which seems to be out of your cleaning area. Too bad. But thank you very much for so much insight on different cleaning techniques!

[@cleanmyspace]

You can do it! And glad we can help! Right now in the GTA our services business is limited to TTC routes only. Apologies for that!

I love your videos, I found your channel a few months ago and it really helps me learn how to properly clean since it’s my first time living alone and I was never taught much as a kid! I’m so grateful for your channel and I just wanted you to know that!! You are AMAZING! Thank you so much!!

the parmesan cheese container is a good jar to keep your baking soda in for the bathroom.

[@cleanmyspace]

That's a great tip! Reusing containers is a smart way to organize things.

[@mistigreen6768]

I really enjoy all of your videos and information I love to clean and I learned the microfiber cloth at the end of a sink clean up is a very nice pro touch - I love doing that now for all my clients

Question: Do you use different gloves or wash them when cleaning the toilet vs everything else? Or do you use the same gloves for everything?

[@cassidyszewczyk5029]

For me, if I do use gloves, I would use one pair for the kitchen, and another for the bathroom. I would try to go from the cleanest area to the dirtiest, then launder them if able.

[@celindavallejo5472]

What about cleaning the bathroom? Like do you use different gloves for the toilet and another pair for the sink and bathtub?

[@cassidyszewczyk5029]

@celindavallejo5472 I would probably just go in the order of sink, shower, and then toilet, but I don't see any harm in wanting a separate pair of gloves for the toilet. Do what feels right for you.

[@cindikiser8282]

I agree cleaning the drains is a must. My bathroom sink is draining slowly. I've tried boiling water, baking soda and vinegar but it's still slow. Suggestions please.

[@farrahc7055]

Try Buster Bathroom Sink Unblocker. Follow the instructions on the bottle. It's so simple, and it works. Good luck.

[@cleanmyspace]

If the solution is not working, you most probably have a clogged P trap under your bathroom sink. Advised to clear that out!

Thank you for explaining about the iron handled scrubber! I ordered a brush during the pandemic for pick up, and it got replaced by the iron handled scrubber. The pic was right, so thought I'd wait to see before I rejected it 😁 I thought it would be some weird medal thing, or that something was misnamed! The guy was confused too... One of those things I always wondered, but very not important 😂

[@cleanmyspace]

I'm glad the video helped clear up the confusion for you!

[@rochellesiegel5199]

Agreed!

Blue for the loo and pink for the sink 😊 what is the white vinegar you use? Not sure what that is called in the UK or where you buy it

[@BossBunnie]

Love that ! 😂

I believe you may call it 'spirit vinegar' over the pond, but worth the look!

Good solar eclipse Monday afternoon Melissa, I send you very warm greetings from beautiful, mild (finally a day) Chicago by Lake Michiga. Hey Melissa, I love all your videos and bought, downloaded your DIY recipe E-Book. So far very good. One "issue" that did come up is when I use the Orange essential oil to give a scent to my air freshener/disinfectant sprayer, it can leave an orange oil stain on bathroom White tub and toilet bowls. Also, when I clean my gas stove with baking soda and other products, I mess up the gas flow from the burners, the gas either doesn't come out from all the burners or it gets too much gas and blast fire. Can you recommend a fix? Hey Melisa, does your husband "Chad" really help with the housecleaning? How about your beautiful daughter? Can you recommend any music or games to make husbands and little children participate or at least not subvert proper home cleaning and tidying up? Thanks you're the best.

After you clean random little hairs out of your sink with the cloth, are you shaking out the cloth outside, or are you throwing the hairy cloth into the laundry? Do you wait for it to dry first? So many things to deal with 😕

[@stefaniemarkowski2512]

I would clean little hairs with a paper towel so you can throw it out. If you use a cloth, I would shake it outside really well and then rinse it under some water and let it dry if you're not going to launder it right away

[@cleanmyspace]

Some like to separate their cleaning cloths and wash them away from other laundry. Do what works!

[@crazysavvyloverlee]

For me the grossest place is that little gap between the toilet at the base and the tile floor. Untold colonies of bacteria hidden just out of view.

[@cleanmyspace]

I totally agree, that gap is a breeding ground for all sorts of germs! Scrub brush is key!

[@CaffeinatedOwlC]

Drains snd toilets are kind of on par for me. Maybe drains would be a but worse. If you stay on top of toilet cleaning it only gets gross when someone is sick. But drains are always nasty. 🤢

[@magicianmana4]

I need to do the shower drain this week 😭😭😭 damn my curly hair

[@cleanmyspace]

The struggle is real with those curly hair problems!

[@julietannOsfan1972]

What makes me laugh is when some people are really fussy about having a clean bathroom & loo, yet they have damp hand towels that they expect everyone to use. I refuse to dry my hands on people’s hand towels. In my bathroom & loo I have kitchen roll & if other people don’t have kitchen roll I use loo roll instead. Also, I know vinegar & bicarbonate of soda is great but does no one ever just use ready-made stuff, like Flash bathroom spray?

[@deirdrerosesharples7453]

Oh man my bathrooms need a good deep, deep clean....mum of boys🤦🏻‍♀️ including the husband!

Sounds like a tough job, maybe start a cleaning Olympics with your boys and husband to make it more fun!

[@tastyvideotreats]

Do you vacuum your bathroom rugs before washing?

[@cleanmyspace]

Yes, it's a good practice to vacuum bathroom rugs before washing to remove any loose dirt and debris.

[@shaz-loves-coffee]

Vinegar and baking soda creates salty water and carbon dioxide gas - there is no real cleaning use for this mix.

[@Username0467]

I’ve even heard her say that before I swear.

[@cleanmyspace]

Yup. No argument from me!

[@camcat26]

I know that CO2 is used in industrial cleaning. The one time I’ve heard the mixture recommended from a reputable source was to clean an enclosed area, but I don’t know if the concentration was high enough

[@lindsey361]

The chemical reaction the fizzing can help shift gung in the drain trap. I always try it first before going in with a chemical unblocker, most of the time it works 🎉

[@shellym79]

Microfiber is so bad for the ocean. It sheds micro plastic every time you wash it. Unless you get a to special bag to wash it in it's going straight into our water systems.

[@MyFocusVaries]

So true. Plus they're not magical. I use old cotton towels cut up. Microplastics are a real health concern. Thanks for raising this issue.

[@BossBunnie]

You are right about that and we should do everything we can to prevent it. But how about we look at our wardrobe first? The clothing we wear and the materials that go into making it ? But yes we should take a close look at the materials we use in our everyday items.

[@shellym79]

@@BossBunnie I do check my wardrobe. This video was about cleaning and the tools used for it. Most people don't realize microfiber is actually plastic. Just spreading the word.

Toilet brushes are a waste of time hold germs. Use iron out once a week let it set at least one hour. Threw the week just use dish detergent. I have done house work for years. I don’t use a lot of boughten Cleaners not necessary. I buy rubbing alcohol at the dollar store that is a disinfectant, I mix it with water does an excellent job leaves every clean shining. I use it on windows mix in a spray bottle . The rubbing alcohol you can get it as high as ninety Percent alcohol or Forty percent. I believe in simplifying the product as much as possible if it does the job saves money gets the job done you don’t have to carry so many products around that is not necessary. I never use window cleaner if you have a bucket of water you put the alcohol just pore some in a little dish detergent a fibre cloth to clean the window, then you use a fibre cloth to shine its so clean you can hardly tell there is glass in the window. Give some of these ideas a try. I am not kidding I know what I am talking about, did it for a living, Two homes a day.

[@cleanmyspace]

I agree, dealing with drains can be pretty disgusting!

[@DietBajaBlast]

completely bog standard basic information. At least fold up the towel when wiping, instead of bunching it all up.

[@KN-lu5ty]

Fold up the microfiber and switch sides frequently during the S pattern right? And also, its gross to wipe the around the faucet and then continue on with the rest of the counter with the same side of the cloth. Better to use a disposable paper towel on the dirtiest parts then follow with the s pattern once gunk is gone. She really misses the basics sometimes
