❁ Spring Clean with Me ❁ How to Clean Major Appliances

[@thaohowell8078]

WHO KNEW ABOUT THE COIN CATCHER?! This is the greatest PSA of my adult life

[@nicoledeclercq3144]

I totally meant in a kind way to thank you for alerting us to these things.

[@sorensensamantha1]

I had no idea I needed to clean my pump and coin catcher. Thanks for the info!

[@jenk4518]

Lots of info I didn't know thanks. I love learning new things especially ones that can save money and frustration in the future.

[@TachiHogans1]

This video was awesome, I had no idea about the bottom of the refrigerator. I had to pause the video and go clean immediately. Thank you! I feel like the kitchen is now truly clean lol :)

[@Clutterbug]

+Tachi Hogans Awesome!

[@snickety13]

Yikes, I never knew about the coin catcher either, I'm afraid to go see what's in there * insert music from Jaws* lol , thanks for that info! ! I'll will have to go check it now 😫 lol love your vids! !

[@o0candikat0o]

+snickety13 Maybe you'll actually find Jaws in there! hehhe

[@snickety13]

o0candikat0o hahahaha!!!😃😄 If so I'm ready for him 🍴🍛🍡Lol

[@lydluvv.45]

Yea! another video! I'm so trying all of these tips! thank you!

[@valmomstertv]

Your channel is so inspiring - today we cleaned the washer/'dryer, dishwasher and tomorrow I'm going to get the oven cleaned too. :)

[@Clutterbug]

+valmomster Good for you!

[@TypesALot]

It was not the most pleasant job, but thanks to your videos, I did clean my fridge. You would be amazed how much dust accumulates behind the fridge. It is actually running quieter - THANK YOU!

[@Clutterbug]

Awesome!

[@mobashrarehman197]

I always enjoy your videos.

[@wandakeeter380]

WOW... a coin catcher... I've never heard of such. Now i need to find mine.

[@Clutterbug]

+Wanda Keeter I know, right?

[@LovingArmywife9]

me too!!

[@LovingArmywife9]

me too!!

[@erickanyc8907]

Yeah, that one was a new one for me too

[@redsloane879]

Wanda Keeter Me too! Who knew?!

[@lalahastings9855]

loved the tips didn't know about half of those so will have to get busy and do them, behind the scenes is what it's all about, tfs

[@uponamidnightdreary]

Omg what!? You're showing me things I didn't ever know existed... a coin catcher? Huh??? So many things I haven't cleaned before 😩 Crap, I've got a lot to do.

[@duncandy]

We've been in this house for four years. The underneath of the fridge has never been cleaned! The previous owner had three dogs, and we have one dog....ugh...I'm legit nervous!

[@XxBREWxX]

Lol

[@TessieDobey]

+duncandy I am also... Maybe I'll get my hubby to do it.

[@auziesworld4322]

I have some info from working at an appliance place off and on since 2003 that will help. *Range: if u use the self clean on the unit, wait until you can touch it with the back of your hand. It gets well over 700 degrees inside your oven during a self clean. You don't want to cause the glass to crack if u don't wait due to the temperature change. Oh and to get to the back corners of your oven take off the door. *Refrigerators: those papers you see is a wiring diagram/tech sheet for the appliance it is a good idea to make a copy of it in case it gets wet and then put it back just in case u loose the copy. Also for the filter, check ur user care guide for the correct filter part number. *Dryer: if u notice it takes longer to dry, clean out vent and take off the front panel to vacuum under the drum especially if u pull lint out from lint trap housing. That means it fell on the parts that controls heat and that is what can catch fire. *Washers: for front load washers wipe the rubber gasket down and keep the door open for 30 minutes after the wash is done for the day. The light doesn't take that much electricity and it helps air dry the washer to avoid mold build up. Top and front load washers can accumulate a lot of soap residue between the inner and outer drum which can stink up the washer and on some model start to eat away at some parts if there is any bleach or bleach additives in the soap. You can help prevent this by doing a hot water rinse cycle with no soap or clothes in it to dissolve that residue. *Dishwasher: Before running a cycle, turn on your sink faucet for a few minutes to bring hot water to that area. If you don't, you are washing with cold water and the soap doesn't wash the dishes very well. The heater in the dishwasher is to keep the water temp constant and to help dry the dishes not to heat up the water. That can burn up the heatinng element faster. I hope this help from an Appliance Insider.

[@luella2897]

I'm so glad you've got a good handyman to help with all these Spring chores!!

[@jessicacervantes4318]

YOU ARE THE BEST CLUTTER BUG KEEP THE SPRING CLEANING VIDEOS COMING NOW MY TO TO CLEAN!!!!!! YOU INSPIRED ME AND ITS CONTAGIOUS

[@sahaara7946]

Wow! I didn't even know those things existed! Now I really have to look for them. I do not own my stuff for this long but maintance is definitely important if I want to own it for longer. Thank you for showing the really deep down end of cleaning!

[@therebex23]

I would love to know how to properly clean hand-vacuum filters - they clog up so quickly and you can pull the stuff off but actually cleaning them (wet clean) seems to wreck them! I've done all the Googling I can on this...what's the best method?

[@annettecoppini7378]

I've just discovered your channel and I love it. I love the tips, I love the accent but most of all I love your little dose of reality at the end of each video. It is motivating to know that we are all in the same boat at the end of the day.

[@erickanyc8907]

Such helpful tips! Some of which I never thought of.😀 Thank you.

[@Rhonda_Godsdaughter]

WOW That was informative. Thank you. You just helped a lot of people! Blessings

[@vicinalucinda]

So thorough, great! I really should have a look at my washing machine..

[@voodle48]

we have just gone into Autumn (Fall) here in Australia but I'm clearing out and cleaning my house top to bottom. Yep under the fridge and washing machine is always a gross job. blaaahhh

[@sharonlatour6230]

Coin catcher? I live in the USA! Is there one on USA Washers?? mines a top loader, would it still have one!

[@mrssmurf55]

omg I can't believe how big Milo is now I can't believe how much time has gone by watching that first wardrobe video and then seeing him as a tiny baby now look at him he's a little man already!

[@jennyapiag]

Brilliant!!!! Some of those things I would have NEVER thought of!!!

[@PinkBabyGlam6989]

I change my filter once a month . Every time rent is due we switch it . Mine gets so filthy because of my pets and for some reason this house collects dust quickly . I don’t know why but ever since my maintenance did work in the attic .. it suddenly started getting dusty .

[@saharkhan656]

can u plz tell some tips for cleaning black floor tiles... i hav that in my bathroom n i donno y they r turning white ? plz help to make it sparkling again...!!

[@OurFamilyHomeLife]

Really great tips! I love using baking soda & vinegar together, it works miracles! I loved all of your advice here, many things I hadn't thought of (like the fridge grate and washer pump!).

[@jenocean824]

Wow, excellent, excellent advice! As always, thank you for all your videos!

[@TracyDIYMom]

My goodness you amaze me

[@Clutterbug]

+TracyDIYMom Awe, thanks :)

[@MakeItWithMich]

Omg I hope my washing machine DOESN'T have a trap! I am afraid to check it after moving into this home and the appliances already being here for years! That's terrifying! Thanks for the very thorough explanation of what to do for each appliance. Great video!

[@annamurphy4993]

I love the dose of reality at the end... it’s great to see that side of it. To know that when I try to do these things it’s ok if I’m not “perfect “!

[@emmahansen634]

I'm really loving this little spring series. it's helping motivate me to get busy!

[@karenmutoro28]

You are amazing👏🏿. I had no idea that you could clean most of the places that you tackled. Quite an eye opener. Thank you so much. Thanks to your handsome some for making an appearance and helping out!

[@judybrown9175]

Excellent information! Thanks so much! Best regards from Michigan.

[@amandaa9890]

I know this sounds crazy but I love you videos and was hoping you could make a video showing exactly what you do to clean out your dryer hose! We are looking to buying a house within a year and I'm trying to get more organized and on a cleaning routine before we move!

[@KandyJohnson1]

I learned so much from this video! Thanks for posting!

[@valmomstertv]

I LOVE your videos. So helpful!!! Thank you.

[@fjz2009]

[@joannalavalle377]

Omg thanks for this cleaning video that means for me GET TO CLEANING :)

[@Italics62]

Awesome tips! I need to go look for the coin catcher as well, had no idea.

[@MommaSchmoozeReviews]

great vid! love all the ideas ...I am guilty ...need to do soon. keep putting it off! just subscribed:)

[@Clutterbug]

+Momma Schmooze Reviews Thanks for subscribing!

[@sadams1982]

Wow, super helpful video! I am inspired!

[@KERose307]

You can get teflon spray to fix all that paint that came off in the oven.

[@mgmbtrfly6644]

valuable info! had never heard of some of these things. thank you for the lessons!

[@roxanewelsh9877]

As I was watching this this vid, my husband came into the room, and asked "why I was making a silly face" (I looked like I was watching a scary movie, lol! I HADE NO IDEA, that I needed to do these things! Thank you!!!

[@Clutterbug]

+Roxane Welsh lol...Under my fridge was pretty scary!

[@specialk8927]

can you use the same method you used for the oven for top of the stove burners?

[@Kindercrafty]

Wow! I did not even know about the coin catcher and pump cleaning...yikes, I'm scared to go look at mine!

[@marykj91]

coin catcher? I'm probably a millionaire!

[@teresapitman1659]

Your little guy is SO cute!

[@ThePilsmith]

Very helpful video! I have a question, where do you find good quality spray bottles? I have tried several with no good results.

[@Clutterbug]

+Pili D'Second I just buy inexpensive ones from Dollarama

[@whippedup639]

totally want to go take my washing machine apart now.. lol.. and your oven was so clean before you cleaned it!! Mine is scary disgusting!

[@Clutterbug]

+Whipped Up lol. Anna, yours is used MUCH more than mine!

[@nardjes8973]

tankyou very match

[@KH-nu8cq]

I love your new intro and this video I learned a whole lot

[@lynnkfletcher]

OMG! Do you think older washers (not HE washers) have these coin catchers somewhere?

[@Clutterbug]

+Lynn Fletcher I don't think so!

[@karih5806]

Inspiring video! Thanks.

[@mobashrarehman197]

Thank you and well done for hard work :-)

[@pamelabecerra333]

This was awesome! So helpful!

[@marymarks7046]

I love sodium bicarbonate and vinegar. It leaves a fresh clean smell! Also, I'd like to share a tip regarding the coin catcher. Before I place my laundry in the washer, I check all the pockets and empty them of paper wrapers, coins, hair bands etc. though sometimes things do go by without being checked, It's best to catch things before they go in the washer.

[@CWsMama7]

I looked up a tutorial on how to open my dryer to clean out the lint trap from inside and was appalled at how much was in there. Also my dryer went from taking 2 hours per load to 45 minutes. It was SO full. And we clean the lint screen EVERY time but it was still that bad!! I recommend everyone (carefully) try it, watching a step by step video. I have the kind of dryer where the lint screen is on top but I'm sure one exists for a front side one too.

[@sylvanis123]

thanks for the tips..love it

[@scrapadoodle04]

Thank u. great info

[@pixienails7099]

Oscar is almost as cute as milo;)

[@cindywilliams8733]

i just cleaned my oven out the other day. i used baking soda mixed with dawn dish soap and a little bit of vinegar, let it sit for an hour and then scrubbed it with a sponge & water. it worked wonders. all the greasy gunk is gone. i like using non chemical cleansers to clean my house. the house just feels cleaner and there's no harsh chemical odors or fumes. i still need to clean my refrigerator/freezer & i'm going to try cleaning my washer/dryer too. thanks for sharing these tips!

[@lmi747]

Fantastic tips!! I feel bad that I never thought of removing the top rack in the dishwasher for large items.😑 Learn something new everyday! 😉

[@LiveLaughLove6487]

I just cleaned under and behind my fridge the other day. Two years, a german shepherd, and a mouse infestation.... it was disgusting... but i felt much better when it was done

[@MsMoses-hs5cz]

My bf and I like the pour bleach in every one of our soap dispensers on our washer and some in the drum to clean it. We push the self clean and let it go. I find that the smell never actually leave the drum though. I also wondered if vinegar and baking soda would do the trick instead? I just wonder if it does get the smell out?

[@marym346]

You should change the furnace/HVAC filters every three months minimum.

[@Athenalovexoxo]

Omg so very awesome and very informative :) omg he's growing up so fast :) he so cute :)

[@Clutterbug]

+Athenalovexoxo Hey, how is the Roomba working out????

[@Athenalovexoxo]

I haven't gotten a chance to use it yet I've been doing rearranging a lot of things in the house and am unable to use it yet :( but I can't wait till I'm done I'm so happy, excited and extremely greatful for it thank u so much Cas :)

[@Porchulis]

I definitely have to try it

[@livingweirdestherc6644]

I love how the house feels after a big clean like that. I have a lot of allergies so we regularly check things that could have mold

[@maxw1346]

I really need to do these jobs. It felt good to see that EVEN yours needs doing and isn't perfect. That makes the rest of us mere mortals feel better.

[@akamelrod8872]

That little black hose on the front of the washer clips into that bracket above it on my model...looks similar to yours.

[@bryceslife9820]

put oven racks and the metal that goes on the gas stove tops in a trash bag with a cup of amonia tie is closed, keep it out side over night and it really does wonders. just watch out amonia is strong

[@lynnasmith9324]

I have a top loading washer where would that tube and trap be THE location

[@Clutterbug]

+Lynna Smith I don't think it has one!

[@carmensta]

ooh, change the furnace filter more than twice a year, I was furnace repair man to change mine at least monthly here in Saskatchewan

[@Lindsay2313]

Great great tips!!! The behind the scenes was great! I would've never thought all that was going on while filming! Milo is the cutest!!!!!

[@Clutterbug]

+Lindsay2313 I do voice overs because my house is always so noisy!! I have to wait until my monsters finally go to bed before I can edit...hence why I am still up at 1am :(

[@Lindsay2313]

+ClutterBug aww ur so cute! It is also one am here and since Ava my 2 yr old didn't wake up till 5:45pm from her nap, she was up till almost midnight!:( I have an almost 8 yr old daughter, 5 yr old son and 2 yr old daughter. I understand the loudness in the household!!😀

[@Lindsay2313]

+Lindsay2313 I am in Ohio right now and wishing that I lived in Canada!!!

[@Clutterbug]

+Lindsay2313 You are so close to me! Well, kind of. I am about 5 minutes drive to Detriot

[@theheynhappening2444]

Thanks for all the great tips. One of my favorite finds is an oven liner so much easier to clean

[@tracywaring5594]

Why don't you put an oven liner in the bottom of your oven,it will look better and be easier to clean x

[@NessaT419]

I clean my oven door that way too but now I have streaks "inside" the glass door. I can't get to it! It's annoying. Any tips on how to get rid of it?

[@Italics62]

If you feel beneath the glass oven door (above the drawer) there should be openings there that you can't normally see and you can stick a duster or a long-handled cloth in between the glass to clean it. I only just discovered that a couple of years ago. Or unscrew the glass on the inside of the oven door and do it that way depending on how dirty it is.

[@Clutterbug]

+NessaT419 Yes! Miss Italics is right! I put a few glass cleaning wipes on a wire up the bottom and swiped from side to side....clean, clean, clean!

[@susanadominguesrosa5522]

Hi!! First of all thank you so much for these videos, they really help me! :) I really need your help, can you tell me if the vinegar you use is the same you use in food, like salads? I'm asking because where I live (Portugal) I can't find vinegar like yours (yours looks like water) and the only ones we have here are yellow (apple or wine vinegar). Do you know if these will also work? Thank you soooo much!!! ❤️

[@Clutterbug]

+Su Rosa White vinegar is used in foods, like salads and pickeling things. I am not sure if other vinegars are the same.

[@aroundthehousewithcheryl]

I wonder if my washer has a coin catcher. Tfs

[@wiseowl2846]

Fantastic video! With proper and regular maintenance, appliances can last super long. I had no idea about the refrigerator....I'm going to be all up in my fridge first thing in the morning. Also, We got a new he washer/dryer set a few months ago and the manual said the washer filter clean out process should be done about once a month! But the water does flood out when I open the drum part...it only comes out of the hose. Anyway...thank u for this video.

[@wiseowl2846]

*water does not flood out of the drum part

[@mela485]

Can you talk about stains on clothes and how to clean a top loading washing machine?

[@linbron2018]

Love it

[@CLeigh315]

You can use the bathtub for oven racks too! Hot water and tons of soap!

[@samanthastinson3567]

I cleaned out my coin catcher for the first time ever! Then I cleaned my floor because water went everywhere. Still glad to learn that tip!

[@Clutterbug]

+Samantha Stinson Awesome!
