Spring Clean with Me ~ Living Room Refresh ~ Spring Living Room ~ Deep Cleaning the Living Room

[@sheriebumgarner7065]

Mary, Mary, Mary! If I did all you did in one day I wouldn't be able to get out of bed. You do inspire me for sure. I will have to take smaller bites out of my spring cleaning. Well, I am 77 years old so of course I can't do all you do. But you are a VERY hard worker and I love watching you clean and create! Please never change who you are. God bless you and yours.

[@DownButNotOutYet]

Good afternoon, I feel exactly the same, at times I even feel so guilty by not coping with essential cleaning. Alas, we are not getting younger, I try my best to stay as active as possible but there is a time and place for everything in our lives. My birthday is next week Lord willing, I am turning 78 years, I think I can say Rome was not built in one day, so I am dividing the responsibilities into a longer period. I also find some ornamental things are quite heavy and I do not wish to drop them as it all holds dear memories of setting up home. Do take care, tomorrow is another day. Many blessings.

[@kathleenmueller153]

Not sure, if all this cleaning is done in one day. Give yourself time, set a timer and only do a small amount. Then rest in that clean area!😊😊

[@josiedavies7080]

Mary , we all know you are a very clean person , but you work too HARD . Your home looks incredible after your hard work , I hope you relax just as hard . Your fur babies love to always be with you ❤

[@bonnieirwin1621]

Wow!!! I miss the days of spring cleaning. I'm 65 years old now with a bad back. Plus I have so much clutter. I also live back in the house that I grew up in, along with my mom and dad's stuff, grandma and great aunts stuff. Dark old furniture too. Your home looks so clean and bright. You are blessed

[@susiepam2716]

When I watch you creating amazing projects, I think, well, I'm not a woodworker, or a seamstress or a painter. But what's my excuse when you spring clean? I have no excuse! Practicing Jews do a major spring cleaning to prepare for Passover. I usually start in the kitchen and then get to the rest of the house later. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@sunflowerbrown5823]

Mary you are one of few youtubers I've seen who knows what a deep clean really is. I think we can take a few days or more for one room and really enjoy the process. This is a great time of year to do it before we're all out in our gardens! Thank you for letting us gain inspiration from you!

[@lindablount2264]

Lady, you really know how to get the job done. I remember those days when I was growing up. I love watching you ❤️

[@manuela_kral4983]

I am from Austria, grew up in the 60's and 70's and I remember how thoroughly the houses would be cleaned in spring time ("Frühjahrsputz"). In that time it was common to heat and cook with charcoal and wood, so there was a lot of dirt exposed to the interior. My grandfather and my aunt were painters and therefore our walls - especially in the kitchen - would get a fresh coat almost every year. Nowadays we still do a spring clean with deep cleaning and decluttering. I think it is a way to say good-bye to winter time and welcoming the long awaited spring season. 💖

[@beneditamclorn2843]

I am from Brazil grew up Northwest. Is very drie we have to clean well eveday as the dust from the roads came in the house. We have to bush, dust and wash the floor 2× a day. All year round.

[@TriniMonstera]

@@beneditamclorn2843I do not envy you, it is dry here in Trinidad too, we get bush fires and Sahara dust this time of the year. Keeping door and windows closed parts of the day help minimize how much times a day we mop.

[@amyhoff1501]

Bin aus Deutschland und Frühjahrsputz ist ein muss, man fühlt sich so gut danach 😊

[@trudyoakley3186]

In my younger years I used to clean much like this. The lady that helped me said I created work. At the time I lived on a farm, f cooked a hot lunch for all the employees, worked in the fields when needed, took care of 3 babies who were 18 months apart in age, and took care of a garden, picking ,freezing and canning the bounty..We even had hog killings and processed all the meat. Those were the good old days. Definitely slept well as I am sure you do. Now sadly I am 71 years old with stage 4 heart failure wishing I was able to even cook a meal. You are an inspiration to so many. I enjoy watching all you do. Thank you so very much for sharing. God bless you and your family.

[@kathrynjohnson9926]

Your cat really trusts you Mine run for their lives when I bring out the vacuum 😂

[@reflections516]

I remember spring cleaning was a yearly task, it also including all curtains and bedspreads were exchanged for lighter ones . Then it was get the boxes out of the attic and winter clothing away and summer clothing out. And lets not forget, the storm windows came off and the screens went on. Thank you for sharing and the motivation . Have a blessed day Susan

[@Aiko2-26-9]

Here in Japan we do the big clean the end of December. We say, "Take care of this year's dirt during this year!" But the motive is similar. Many relatives come to visit at New Year's time and we want our houses to look their best.

[@PearlCottage]

Mary, I would get a tall, thin style basket to put the wires and such in behind the sofa. That way, they are together, and the cats are not stepping on them. You could make a wood box to put them in, too. It would look very nice.

[@SimplyBlessedDesignz]

I love this so much. I love seeing how others clean, to give me ideas on how to do it a bit easier. I love the comfy and coziness of your home. Thanks for always being a positive inspiration to others. I can't wait to check out the new scents. You are so appreciated!

[@chrissynes3553]

Hi Mary. This brings back the dreaded spring cleaning days of my youth. Every square inch of our home was cleaned. Washing all the Knick knacks in the bath tub, the windows that did not tilt and Old English on the wooden floors. The house smelled so good after but it was pure exhaustion.

[@jodirauth8847]

One of the many reasons of over the centuries that spring cleaning was done, was to remove bacteria and infections diseases from our living spaces. We have modern science to prove that these diseases were there than , but I sure the people knew that spring cleaning brought about better health after long winters inside.

[@marthalewis1017]

Mary, how do you care for the curtains? They are so stiff and wrinkled after washing.

[@marthalewis1017]

Yours looked so nice!

[@annemaguire657]

Mary this looks and smells so fresh (hints of scent has made its way to Ireland 😅)…….those cats :)

[@joycepryor9848]

Your videos always make me smile. Your room looks so fresh and clean.

[@kathrynriggs2489]

There is nothing like a clean, fresh home in the spring!

[@peterwhite9261]

It looks and feels fresh and cozy. There's nothing like a good clean like this. For the past few years with health issues, I haven't been able to. Thankfully, this year, with the help of God, I could somewhat. My cat loves to watch me clean too!❤

[@Stellaperez658]

Every Sat was our house cleaning / drawers cleaning day. With 6 daughters it was a must for my Mom. Our house was always clean. As an adult w my own home, I clean whatever is needed whenever it's needed. I don't dedicate a whole day to it! 👏🏻👏🏻

[@marylenhastings6533]

Mary, you are an inspiration! This video highly motivated me to start spring cleaning. Everything looked so fresh & clean! Thank you!

[@annettemurielle]

Mary, your home always looks so comfortable and cozy and welcoming, and yet you manage to make it look better each time you redecorate. Can't wait to see how you finish it.

[@cherylmiller7208]

You are such a hard working woman! 🤍🙏

[@DownButNotOutYet]

Hi there Mary, I must say, once you get going you do not stop. I cannot manage so much in one day, I would be doing the ornamental things and tomorrow washing the walls and perhaps do the floors. We live in a very dusty area, it is absolutely horrible, but we don't wish to give up our home, we have lived here many years, and we are quite central, in other words, close to so many amenities. I have to say, it is a great feeling when all is washed and cleaned out, the dust sucked out of soft furnishings. I do agree, I have a Miele vacuum cleaner, had it for many years, then the motor burned out and as the rest of the machine was fine, we just replaced the motor at almost three quarters of the new price. It was a good saving though, if this should tyre out, I would like to replace it with another Miele, they are so reliable and they clean thoroughly. Love the change of rug in the lounge, sometimes smaller is better. Enjoy your home, it is such a blessing to have one, and I feel if you are grateful for all your blessings, take care of them all. Regular cleaning and painting. After all that work, are you still cooking dinner, we plan ahead and have a casserole ready, we do not buy take out's at all. We used to of an occasion but not really supporters of fast foods. You should not be climbing onto a chair, a two or three step ladder for ladies is preferred, an aluminium small scaffolding is even better, price but so much safer. Give it some consideration. Kind regards.

[@esmeduplessis941]

What a beautiful soul! You are really an inspiring person Mary! I'm 74 and really wish I was younger, to try all your beautiful plans❤

[@lovingdecor]

You are such a hard worker. I use to do that each spring before we sold our house. We moved into a town house before the pandemic which is small and was unable to buy another home after this administration got in the office. Hopefully next year we can buy agin and I can do my spring cleaning again. Loved your video!

[@dawndawn6946]

Thank you, Mary! You sure have motivated me! I had planned to spring clean my living room and dining room today, but I was procrastinating. Of course, I found your video while drinking my tea, and now I’m ready.😆💖

[@shaunwalker6651]

I love spring cleaning, open up windows and doors to get fresh air and listen to the birds singing 😊, and sometimes listening to music 🎵🎶. I start my spring cleaning around the end of APRIL.😊

[@Maria-yu1xq]

I absolutely love seeing your cats in all your videos. Nothing says home better than a cat. Love the cleaning inspiration 👍👍👍👍👍

[@suzisaintjames]

I never thought about it before but the gray walls really makes the whites pop! 👍. 💖🌞🌵😷

[@pamelatheado6484]

Wow. I am in awe of you!! Have a safe trip. I hope you are not jeopardizing your safety putting all this info out there.

[@sabrinamariesayre]

Looks beautiful! I feel like I can smell the freshness. 😊 I guess I know what I’m doing tomorrow! 🤷🏻‍♀️😊

[@zenaidarivera9580]

HI MARY YOUR VIDEOS WILL NEVER BORED ME I LOVE TO SEE YOU CLEAN AND DIY VIDEOS I COULD WATCH YOU MORE IT LOOKS SO CRISPY CLEAN AND SO RELAXING.AND THAT SMOOTH SONG PUT ME TOO RELAX .GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY 🙏❤️

[@aSUGAaddiction]

My sunday school teacher's wife recommended your channel, and im so glad i found you! Im getting ready to spring clean my house and a wall mop would be a good investment i think

[@jillbruce3624]

Beautiful, Mary. So cozy and homey. Loved all the birds too.

[@MichaelKing-k1e]

Mary ❤ your. videos. ❤ from. Ireland 🇮🇪 😊

[@jllgibson6036]

Hello Mary; Yes, it does look good and I am definitely motivated so huge Thank You! Most things you present do spark my creativity and leave me with some motivation... Take care God Bless Linda in Canada ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[@Judykag]

Wow! You are the only KZbinr I have watched where you actually did spring cleaning. The old fashioned way where you actually clean stuff and not just move it around. Enjoyed this!

[@debrachase3131]

Your videos help me keep my eyes on the prize as I learn my way through drywall taping and sub floor replacement and floor installation. I got a chuckle out of kitty taking an unperturbed ride as you moved his table back to the window.

[@BrendaSalas-rp8sl]

Great job. I want to clean each room in my house like that.

[@MultiLisa10]

Beautiful home and love seeing the kitties for it all!

[@vbee3571]

82 years old and it never occurred to me to wash my ceiling. I think I'm too old to start now. Nothing motivates women like other women coming to judge their home. 😄 You set a high bar, Mary!

[@bettystewart-jx8rp]

Yes, she reminds me of how lazy I was when I was able to clean. But all in all, I kelp it presentable. My house is clean enough for me and my family.

[@lauriepayseur5897]

Maryyyyyy! I’m only at the 7:17 marked and already I have NEVER even heard of what I’m seeing. And here I was thinking that I keep a really clean house ! I would have never in a million years considered all of what you’re cleaning! My goodness. But I bet it DOES feel amazing.

[@donnafilice5457]

Beautiful room, Mary! And thank you for the inspiration!

[@gwenvann7279]

When you first got your new couch it seemed too dark. But, today when you uncovered it, I thought…I really love the sofa color. 😁

[@chriswells4400]

I remember my mom spring cleaning like this, floor to ceiling. And I remember this ball of stuff that resembled play-doh that my mom used to clean the wallpaper. Everything smelled so good after spring cleaning. Mom used Murphy’s Oil Soap 🥰

[@lindaga820]

Oh my gosh I remember that play- doh stuff for cleaning the wallpaper !!

[@JaniceDodson-c4z]

Brought back so many memories of my five sisters and I every Saturday we pick rooms and cleaned from top to bottom. My mom would do her beautiful rose garden and when we got done we would all go to the lake. So we would work fast to get it done. Great work ethics . The times we couldn’t go to the lake , we would sit on the floor and my mom teach us how to be ladies , dress and conduct ourselves. Great times. Thanks for sharing.

[@mlm7598]

I do know how good that feels and I can't wait to do the same here in my home. There is something that leaves my heart and soul at peace knowing things are where they belong and clean. Everything looks wonderful. KItty almost looks like a statue sitting there in a peaceful pose. Love your kitties! Blessings

[@michelegrigg4952]

We will be moving into our new home this weekend and plan to thoroughly clean it before bringing all the furniture and stuff in. Hopefully this will make cleaning walls and such easier to do.

[@mjbonnes]

Great job, Mary! Clean and organized spaces bring me a lot of peace. I'm working on my home little by little in this way. Thank you for explaining about the window grids! I've been so curious about them. I've seen you take them out before and wondered of they came that way or if they were custom ordered and added later. It may be a pain, but so is cleaning every little setion of ones that are mounted on the surface! Ugh. Anyway, thank you for being an inspiration!

[@roymavistanner8399]

Everything looks like its sparkling clean, and my senses can actually smell that fresh scent, especially the lilac candle. You're right....the hardest part about deep Spring cleaning is getting motivated to just start! As usual those sweet cats didn't get motivated by your energy!! Mine never did either! lol I'm in my 70's and I think my mother had that cleaning utensil you used for the ceiling, walls and floor. Don't know what it's called, but I'm sure I remember that at home. ~~M~~

[@lindaga820]

You're so right about just having the motivation to get started !!! You just have to be in the right mood!!!

[@patricia.g1651]

We did cleaning chores every Saturday, but a huge Spring Cleaning once a year. We'd move all the furniture, take the area rugs outside to be shampooed and dried in the sunshine, washed all the floors, cleaned, waxed, and buffed the hardwood floors (and then we got to "skate" around in our clean socks!), washed walls, and put up fresh curtains. Whew!

[@ruthmartin4270]

Know the feeling when things are clean it look so nice

[@CatherineBrown-c3i]

You are the hardest worker!! I still spring clean every April… had to get help. Can’t climb up and down ladder with my knees, but do linens, blinds stuff I can reach. We divide into three days ! I’m exhausted each day, but it is a wonderful feeling to have it done….fresh.

Hi Mary I’m new to your channel. I live in Northern Maine. I have Mt. Katahdin basically in my back yard. I watch one of your videos where you told about hiking the mountain. I do hope you enjoyed our little area here. I love your channel so much! Glad I found you. Oh and also I have been ordering off your Etsy shop before I ever watched your video. I absolutely love your merchandise ❤

[@mariamendoza5504]

Greetings Mary..I remember when I was a teenager my I used to help my dear Mom with her spring cleaning and decorations...And yes!! The whole house was super clean with a nice scent of lavander (Spray 😂). The spring decorations were so beautiful 🌷🪴🌺❤️ vases with flowers arrangements , the curtains were white embroidered with little flowers in pastels colors and the ornaments were vintage. Seeing you doing your spring cleaning brought me these sweet memories. I fell in love with your living room spring decorations and the impeccable look.... Awesome!! Mary, Thank you for sharing this beautiful video. 🙏❤️🙋💕💐👍🏻

[@paulaboyer7132]

It's such a good feeling when you get done. Now that I'm in my 70s I go room by room ... remember the days I could divide the house into guadrants.

[@janeevans4758]

Everything looks spectacular & fresh Mary, it's a fabulous feeling to have the home squeaky clean.

[@Stinson.Homestead]

I think your windows are beautiful and had no idea that the grids were an add on. Your enitre home is gorgeous and so homey. When we bought our house years ago, it had big windows without the grids. They were old and drafty and we replaced them as soon as we could afford to. So about five years ago, we replaced all the windows and got some with the grids between the glass. We love them! Easy to clean and a huge upgrade that looks nice and are very energy efficient. Blessings! 💙

[@WatersandWilderness]

Lilac Blossom sounds very nice. Your home looks beautiful, Mary. Kitty wanted your attention.... he can't figure out who you are talking to so he (gray kitty) came over to keep you company while you talk to no apparent person. lol. I love your videos... keep them coming, please, and may God truly bless you and your family.

[@rondawhitaker4407]

I feel like such a lazy slob after watching your cleaning videos, Mary! I’m still putting away Christmas, and actually my tree is in a storage bag in the dining room floor as we speak! lol I’ll get there eventually! Right now I think l need a nap. I’m tired from watching you do all that work, my dear! I love your home- inside and out, and everything you do, and l love your cats!! You really do inspire me, l just wish l had all your energy! God bless you and your family!

[@fromhumblebeginnings7798]

I love watching others clean, an honestly I have never washed my ceilings. I will this year!! Thanks for sharing videos with us!!

[@kerryclare3456]

[@erikas974]

Mary I am so glad we are going into Autumn I don't have to spring clean😊. Your place look so lovely. Hardly can wait for the decorations. Snow looking so nice but I am happy we never have snow. I had enough growing up in Europe. Today was only 33°C after last week was over 42. I do hope soon you have nice blossoms to see. You deserve a special night from your family doing all that work. 🫂🫂🫂🌏🌎🌍🐨🦘

Hi Mary - definitely awe-inspiring. you are motivating that is for sure. I love your cleanliness of everything in hands reach; especially a "home"; this for sure should be done; by me too! only because we all have a home to come back to after a hard days work, where we come together as a family and make wonderful memories. thank you so much for reminding me/us of how precious "home" is and should be. Our place of refuge from all the elements, a place of rest, a place to plan and ponder. I love everything you do and only wish i was much closer to see all the wonderful shops in your area. Hugs always Mary; have a delightful wonderful and blessed day...

I always love an inspiring cleaning video! Yes, it is motivating!

[@jovicrazed]

Your home is so serene. I love it.

[@bethreisman8869]

Yes, I’m from rural America and spring cleaning was “a thing “. We removed the storm windows, cleaned them and dried with newspaper! Put the window screens on for spring and summer breezes. Hand waxed (on knees) the hardwood floors ….. Miele vacuum really is the very best! I have asthma so the hepa filter and bags are such a help.

[@funny_anni9194]

You are such an inspiration! I plan to clean my home and decorate for spring next weekend. My huby will doch a trip with his friends. I always enjoy doing things around the house when he ist not here and surprise him.😅 Mary thanks you for putting me into the right mood! 💪 Many greetings from Germany again. 👋

[@vickihanson319]

Hi Mary. I love a clean house. I used to clean like that. My mother in law used to tell me you could eat off my floors.😅 However now in my seventies with bad knees, it's more difficult. I've invested in new machines to help me, but still not the same as getting down on hands & knees & doing a good scrub. It's so satisfying afterwards. ❤❤

[@lisamartin2143]

I use to clean like this every spring. Now I work full time and find it hard to just get my weekly cleaning done. Beautiful as always Mary.

Thank you Mary for the motivation! Cleaning my light fixtures as i listen to you. 😊

[@skylilly1]

I just wind up all my long cords and then twisty tie them. But they still get a good wash either way. We always did the walls and ceilings as well. Light fixtures fans, silk flowers, everything got cleaned. There were six of us so everybody had their job. My mom used to put the mini blinds in the bathtub and clean them. Then she turned on the shower to rinse them off.😂 it was quick and easy. Curtain sheers were always put in the wash machine, but the heavy drapes were hand washed on the hooks with the bucket of mild soapy water. Room looks super refreshed 👍

[@roxanneklafehn8516]

When I bought my current house ( the owner had passed away) his family scrubbed and painted every room. Shampooed the carpets. But cigarette smoke odor lingered so I ripped up every carpet. Better but still smelled. One day, on a hunch, I pulled out the range hood filter. Then the hood. Problem solved!! What a relief! Finally a clean smelling home.
