QUICK SUMMERTIME HOUSE CLEAN WITH ME

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

Good morning! I love waking up to a freshly cleaned house. It starts my day off on the right foot. What about you?

[@lentilgirl158]

Yes! Clean and neat. Love it..

[@juliemackenzie1978]

An uncluttered house leads to an uncluttered mind. :) Thanks for sharing your tips....they are pretty similar to my own. :)

[@msr1116]

Heck, I'm just glad to wake up ! LOL That alone starts my day off on the right foot. 😂

[@paulinefraser7877]

Strangely enough on a rainy day I actually enjoy putting on comfy clothes, putting on some music and getting stuck in. Makes me feel happy and relaxed when I'm done

[@lynrieagain]

Loving how Randy is sometimes the "Silent Partner" in the housekeeping and so much else in your lives! I do appreciate how he encourages technology usage in tasks as well to permit better use of time; especially when both partners are working outside of the home. 😍

[@vickytillman1591]

First time watcher here! I’m like you, I have cleaning seasons but I’m a teacher so my seasons are opposite to yours. Summer is my deep clean, reorganize, paint and other projects time and school months are my spit shine season.

[@bigbaddbeth]

Renee, you finally wore me down. I just placed my first order of Glamorous Wash to try the fabric refresher spray. I cannot wait to try it!

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

You are going to LOVE It!!!!! I promise! And....a little goes a long way :)

[@Emma_K]

Your house is beautiful!

[@johntatum8088]

Thanks, Renee, very inspiring....I will do a deep cleaning tomorrow...:) Amazing to have such a clean house with two dogs living in it....great job!

[@bethd9160]

When you replace your couches buy leather, it’s so worth it. All you have to do is a quick wipe and all hair and paw dirt is gone. Pollux is adorable.

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

HI! We ordered a new leather sectional for our living room....and we're still waiting on it. Ordered in April...supposed to be here in November. It's taking forever!! But we are excited to get it :)

Once a month I put a new dryer sheet in my heater ducts to make my house smell great.

[@paulinefraser7877]

I have a Dyson that looks pretty similar to your vacuum. It's like having a new toy. When I first got it I was constantly looking for things to clean. It is so easy to clean the stairs, the car and reach up to cobwebs. My other cleaning toy is my steam cleaner. So satisfying cleaning the toilet, tile grouting or behind taps

[@donnakotoff9949]

LOVE tips and short cuts!!!

[@vernabryant2894]

I bought a cheap Shark cordless vacuum cleaner and I love it.

[@AidaJof]

Great tips Renee and you did great for a 'spit & shine' kinda of clean up. I also love to wash the throw blankets in the wash to keep them smelling fresh, clean & fluffy. About once a month, I throw the pillows & cushions on the dryer and run them on a 20 min. mild cycle with fabric softener sheet to remove dust, make them smell nice and remove static.

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

Great tip! I'll give that a try!

[@rebeccasoubra]

I love this video, it is so sweet to see Pollux follow you around all the time and he is in almost every scene, so cute and love seeing Maxxie too! I absolutely love the idea of Glamorous Wash in the spray bottle, I did buy it after seeing it in your videos and love it smells so good!

Yeah.....black furniture sounded great until we got Pollux. His white hair just glows against the black!

[@mmc9828]

I bought the Glamorous Wash Diva from Amazon as soon as I watched your video. It arrived yesterday so I washed my bathroom rugs to give it a try. This morning my laundry room and bathroom have that pretty fresh scent. It calls for 1/3 of a cup which seems a little too much to me. Next load I will dial that back. Very pretty scent and glad I bought it!

[@estaisadore6188]

😊😊😊😊

[@gpeace9187]

Renee thanks for all the tips! I've got one for you on dusting... Use a tack cloth. A tack cloth is a large sheet of loosely woven cheesecloth impregnated with beeswax. Since beeswax is tacky, dust and other light particles cling to it. They are commonly used after sanding down a piece of wood to remove the tiny particles before staining or painting. The only thing you have to do when using them is wear a latex or non-latex glove so it won't get your hand sticky. Talking about picking up dust... OMG, it is the best. Ask Randy if he's heard of these. They are not designed for dusting, but work great!!! And the evidence is quickly seen on the tack cloth as they will get nasty after dusting.

[@bettyratliff7377]

Hi Renee! I spit shine my my house during the summer too! I love all your tips and tricks 😊 Pollux is so darn cute 💕

[@endeavouringit]

You guys in America have so many things/products/food we (Australia) don't, it's such a shame. I love that round coffee table, it acts as a seat too, although I know this is old footage and you got a new lounge and were saying you were going to buy a new square coffee table, but that 'poof' style is so handy, I have noticed if you've changed it out.

[@jenniferlee7167]

Hi Renee--how about spraying the fabric lampshades, so when you turn on the light it smells of the Glamorous "Diva" Wash. The scent should come through beautifully as well. I use store brand Swifer cloths(cheaper and just as thick) and was taught to rinse them in the sink and then squeeze them out till almost dry before dusting and I have been doing so for years now. I have allergies and often the dry cloths just move the dust around whereas the moist ones keep my furniture dust-free for nearly two weeks. I have a Dyson cordless stick from two years ago and I should have gotten the one you have as mine does not stay charged for 90 minutes. Live and Learn! Thanks so much for all the great tips.

[@WarmFuzzyVibes]

I like most tips. However, for your viewers who have parrots of any kind, they should be aware that using ANY amount of perfume, whether in dryer sheets, room plug-ins, or colognes on people--all that makes the respiratory system in birds freeze up. They can literally drop dead after Febreze is used on the couch. Many people who get birds are not aware of this. And, I must be part bird too, because one of the ways to detoxify yourself after cancer is all those artificial scents and candles are tossed in the trash. My life is worth more than all the chemical remedies that seem to make life better, but just end up causing more issues down the road. Seriously, you need a disclaimer in front of the video regarding birds or people with compromised immune systems. Otherwise, I, too, love a clean house and I thank you for sharing. Personally, I use alot of baking soda and I frequently just air out the house on pleasant days.To me, NO SCENT is the best scent. When I am outdoors, I sniff a rose or a sprig of peppermint or spearmint for a scent lift. I am so over cologne or scented shampoos too. Just a bunch of chemicals. And the sad fact is the makers don't have to list the chemicals they use because it is considered proprietary info. My only defense is a good offense and that means I do my research and if in doubt, the answer is that I take the unscented option or find another brand or do it myself.

Renee, wondering if you’ve tried any special brush (like furminator?) for Pollux’s shedding problems. I also have a heavy shedder for the first time and am curious if any brushing tools might be helpful. Thanks so much 🐶

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

Hi! I bought a Furminator last spring and used it on him regularly. When he started shedding his winter coat again this spring, I went to grab the Furminator....and it's disappeared!! I kept it in the utility room cabinet with all of our other pet items....and it's gone. Mystery!!

[@kathyakamimi4989]

Pollux definitely has German Shepherd (GSD) in his DNA!!! They shed year round and it’s a constant battle fighting the hair!! We have a portable dyson that I couldn’t live without so I understand your excitement about your vacuum! At our house, it’s vacuum every day, sometimes more than once. I constantly have hair on my clothes but I just ordered the roller thingy (forgot what you call it). Thanks so much - Great and helpful video! Very motivating too! Btw, do you spit shine once a week, or month or..,?

[@lindaferrill1897]

[@deniseeustace9603]

[@terrys5843]

I got the Glamorous Wash Diva yesterday. I washed my sheets and blankets following the directions to the tee. I was so disappointed. My bedding has more residual scent when I use my regular laundry soap. I can not smell it on there at all. I also tried the spray on my upholstered furniture and nothing. It disappears moments after hitting the air. I really expected to be delighted by this product. So sad. What did I do wrong. What a terrible waste of money this was. PS - it pours like water.

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

That's so strange! I use unscented regular detergent and softener so the Diva Wash is a scent I certainly smell. And I only use half of the recommend portion. Did you shake the bottle before use? I know it says to on the cap. When I spray my couches and curtains, I can smell the scent for several days after. Wondering if you got a faulty batch??

[@terrys5843]

​@@WelcomeToMyCurls I suppose it's possible I got a faulty batch. I'm sure I must have shaken it first. I shake everything, even my milk. I can certainly smell it in the bottle but it's not as strong as I expected the actual product to be and I know you said Randy misses it when it's not there. I'm wondering if it's been watered down. I will give it another try but if there's no improvement I will return it to Amazon. Can you tell me, is yours extremely thin, like pouring water?

[@interstategar]

I'll give you a tip to keep your drains and pipe clean and unclogged. Professional plumbers use a product called THRIFT. Its only available at a plumbing supper store or online. Its safe on all pipes. Its a crystal material and you pour about 3 tablespoons in each drain every 2-3 months to keep your drains and pipes from clogging. Another how to from a plumber. If you main drain pipe pipe is clogged you can with use a snake or a pipe balloon and hot water. You can get your hot water directly from the outlet at the bottom of your water heater and attach your hose to it with the pipe balloon at the end. If your end pipe is plastic, insert balloon paste that first joint. If you don't you'll shatter the end pipe from the pressure the balloon creates. If there's no joint at the end then there's no problem.
