Good morning ladies! It’s been a pretty awesome year so far! Can I get a heck yeah if you are ready to clean for 2 hour straight? 😂😂😂😂😂 #enjoy!

[@AirykaB]

Heck yeah!

[@kristymiller2098]

Heck yeah!

[@allisonmiller3148]

Heck yeah, this is about to go down at my house today! As well as my new grape trellis getting finished after the house gets a mother's touch.

[@robinsmith6517]

Heck yeah!!

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Heck yeahhhhhh!!

[@angelahansen86]

It took me a minute to realize this includes older cleaning clips 😂 "In the throws of morning sickness" really threw me off there for a second. Thanks Kim for the marathon cleaning inspiration!

[@jeaniegallo4693]

I was having deja vu and wondering my sanity until I heard that too lol.

[@michellecline4286]

Sameeeee. I was like wait morning sickness what have I missed. Loving this 2 hr video.

[@ceramj1995]

I kept looking at the release date of the video wondering if I was confusing 1hr ago and 1yr ago 😅😅

[@phyllisdecker4510]

Yes I was thrown off too by the “morning sickness” comment! I thought Kim was pregnant again so soon after Wolfgang’s birth

[@jamieeberhard8515]

Glad to know I wasn’t the only one who was like “WAIT! HOW DID I MISS THAT??????”

[@lindsayjordan4161]

Wow I don't think anyone listened to your intro when you said you COMPILED A BUNCH OF OLD VIDEOS to make this marathon!!😂😂

[@martinakvaternik1984]

2 whole hours of Kim's cleaning service OMG i needed that!😁😍

[@thewadsquad]

I need to hire them, they’re great

[@annamurphy4993]

I watched the whole 2+ hours and did not miss the music! I love it when you talk through your videos. -So don’t ever worry about that! I prefer to listen to the talking! Otherwise, I would turn on some music! I always watch your videos at least twice. Once so I can see what’s going on, the other times: to motivate me as I clean!

[@sashac7002]

I wonder if you watch this video and see how much you accomplished in your home since then! The new rug in the kitchen and your living room makeover including the labor of love that was the coffee table, not to mention all the other spaces! . I hope you see this Kim and give yourself credit for all the things you do and get done!

[@janiefield5556]

Hey!! from the UK! I absolutely love your channel, I only discovered you a couple of months ago and I am totally hooked!! I'm slowly working my way back through all your videos and you make me laugh so much you are brilliant! Honestley I really think you have the British sense of humour in you and you are so entertaining to watch! You've inspired me to declutter my house bit by bit and the donation shop is probably sick of the sight of me by now 🤣🤣 My family are getting new food and baked goods galore and it's all your fault!! 😝😝 You make us feel like part of your family and that's so heart warming to me - keep up the great work and always do it your way! 👍👍♥♥♥

[@kathleenmcgimpsey7855]

Loved your comment about feeling part of Kim’s family as I feel the same as she shares her life with us through her videos. I’ve been watching her for a year and pounce on every video she makes. 🇨🇦

[@amandamorris754]

Hi, I'm from the UK too, Where are you from I'm in the Midlands Staffordshire Moorlands.

[@janiefield5556]

I’m in Cheltenham in the south west x

[@kayleenvanderhorst]

I’m weeks behind watching this, but thank you for the motivation. I DID NOT want to clean my house today, but I turned this on and now I’m almost done cleaning. You need a podcast Kim! I would be obsessed!

[@beezaz]

Seriously so glad I wasn't the only one thrown off with the older clips and Kim saying she was in the throws of morning sickness LOL This is exactly what I need to get me through the day being sick and watching this is so motivating

[@kelvindonnel4608]

Hey Bianca! How are you doing?

[@dance31115]

While I may not be using this to clean along, I am studying for one of the biggest exams in medical school and watching these videos while I study keeps me motivated and makes me feel like I have company

[@glendaharding4884]

Good luck!!

[@roxannebudd1978]

Good luck!

Wait, in the throes of morning sickness😳 I’m so confused right now but happy to spend 2 hours with my favorite girl Kim🥰 I hope all is well my sweet friend🙏♥️💫✨👼🏻✨💫♥️

[@danielleblackburn1737]

I was reading the comments to see if anyone else caught that!

[@podfixx]

It's a compilation of past cleaning vids

[@n.pickering5082]

That's why I came to the comments too! These might be old clips though.

She did said it was videos from the past. That is why it's a cleaning marathon

I always look forward to your morning videos!! I love how relatable you are! Thanks so much for sharing a small part of your life with us!!!

Thanks so much for being here for it!! 🎉

[@Gavinsrents]

Love your commentary. Just tried watching a clean with me with just music and I might as well just turn the radio on. Thanks for your realness and fun attitude.

[@kelvindonnel4608]

Hello Andrea! How are you doing?

[@bethmartin3461]

Not crazy about marathon cleaning videos because I have already watched them the first time. I have been watching some older videos but might watch some of this one because I love Kim!

[@thewadsquad]

I feel you!! Definitely an experiment for me! It won’t happen often, clearly I put this one together a year ago 😂 thanks so much for hangin out!!

[@bethmartin3461]

@@thewadsquad you have your hands full right now so I can’t blame you at all for putting this one out!! I have been watching some of your older videos. They are fun to watch!! You need to check out Britnee Kellogg’s song Hey Momma. It’s a really good song. Might help you get through some rough days. ❤️❤️

[@AScentToRemember]

I love that you talk and don't really play songs. It helps keep my cleaning and every now and then I glance at the video. 😁 I got my whole downstairs cleaned up yesterday with your video ❤️ I think I need hidden chocolate stashes though 😆

​@Brandi it's from last year

@@Armymom1984 they are older videos from this past spring so she was pregnant then. That is what I understand. 😊

Did you say ‘the throws of morning sickness’????

I've vacuumed, mopped, cleaned the oven, and laundry all because of Kim's Cleaning Service and Motivation. Thanks! 😎👍

Nesting here in at week 33, the motivation this gives me when it's still snowy/wet is real!

Don't apologize for anything, your fine. You are one of my favorite people. I enjoy your videos.

Heck yeah a 2 hr cleaning marathon with Kim's cleaning service. I love that you say you clean your sheets once a year lol as I'm not one that does them every week either. Love that you're real and our houses are lived in that's why they get dirty. Thank you for sharing.

[@normaspinale940]

So excited to watch a 2 hour video on this snowy day in Massachusetts 🎉

[@Sunshinebabe93]

Wow, I love how your desk turned out. It looks really really nice. I agree about the music in videos. I prefer hearing people talk and I usually fast forward when a song comes on or leave the video entirely. I love your cleaning videos because they motivate me to clean what I can and get organized. 😁

[@laurab7379]

I agree, Good Enough is the best most times! My expression "Nobody Died" in the process of piling up laundry, leaving messes in the kitchen, not cleaning the shower! LOL! You do what you can when you can. You have to live your life too and enjoy the kids! You do a great job as a MOM! Your kids are adorable. Love your approach! Real life!

[@tequilabarber9810]

Spending 2 hours with my friend and Kim's cleaning service? What a great treat! Yay curl up in my bed after a shower. My heating pads, midol and you:)

Wooohooooo 2 hours of Kim! Heck yeah! Good afternoon party people!

2 hours with my bestie?! What did we do to deserve this?! I definitely need to get some spring cleaning done. I'm 5 months pregnant and feel the need for nesting lol. I'm waiting for a part for my washing machine and then it's on!

[@sylviab.791]

I'm here for it.

[@Armymom1984]

I remember nesting. I cleaned and rearranged everything, literally, in my house every other day. I felt insane.

Nesting is so fun! 🎉

[@craglabrake6802]

As a 24 year old who is still getting a cleaning routine down, this is definitely helpful and motivating! Thank you so much Kim!

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Over 2 hours of Kim?! Yes please!!

[@suefanning2067]

Kim!!! In my whole life I think I vacuumed my mattress 3 times. I’m 72. Never think of it and I’m not influenced to do it today. 😊

[@user-zi3kd4td2f]

Yes!!!! I needed this motivation today. Have so much cleaning to do around the house. Thanks for the motivation!

Is this a throwback?

She explained it in the intro

[@silverose1209]

I haven’t even watched yet, but a 2 hour Kim video makes me so very happy! Thank you!

Going back through old videos because you talk through videos and I enjoy it. If it has music,I get annoyed and skip it. So thank you for keeping me entertained.

[@hepsibarani356]

Hi Kim I'm from India. I can't understand ur slang properly. But I love to watch your videos. It's really motivating me. Especially you done videos in pregnancy time. Thank you Kim.

[@debraklikus7524]

I now use your attitude, “ clean only what you see and it’s good enough “ and you have really helped de stress my life! Lol

FYI....We love you...yes we listen to you and love your "I'm only Human" song...uplifting! Yes you motivate me to clean! I fricken NEEEED that BISSEL!

Kim.. Use oven liners they are great I had an oven for 15 years and the top burned up but I had liners in the OVEN and when I pulled LINERS out looked like a new oven .I LOVE THEM.I only have to wipe the door off and the inside I never had to wash .Save a lot of work🥰

I LOVE the longer videos thanks Kim xoxo can't wait for the next one

[@patriciakelly2714]

It’s just never ending and very difficult to keep up when you have children. Mine are grown and now we are two, it’s a lot easier but not as much fun as when the kids were young. Enjoy your life, the work will always be there and time goes so fast. Love you. Xx

You always give me such motivation Kim! Not only personal but with my home as well! So thank you for this and I'll be using this to clean my house today❤️

[@swimmermom007]

Haha the morning sickness part threw me off at well! I was like what episode did I miss. That’s what happens when you watch and clean at the same time you miss the part when she said clips from the past lol

[@kelvindonnel4608]

Hey Kristina! How are you doing?

[@Handschug7]

When we remodeled our kitchen in 2010, I used all the drawers for kitchen stuff. When finished I didn't have a drawet left over for junk. So we've been without a junk draw for 12 years and haven't missed it. It is possible to live without a junk drawer.

[@mclarkson1015]

51:48 I loved seeing your “hoarded” messy bedroom because same, girl, same. I have a love/hate relationship with KZbin cleaning videos in general because they’re sometimes motivational and sometimes (unintentionally) shaming because my house can never look like that, lol. Seeing your bedroom normalizes my mess, so thank you 😂

[@Sabrina-gi9zw]

I can't believe it, two hours?!?! That's a treat for sure 😍

[@monika1013]

You 100% influenced me to want the Bissell crosswave. I watched the prices fluctuate over the 🎶🎵holiday season🎵🎶 and luckily Santa put it under the tree for me! To be totally honest I've only used it once so far but it was great! Okay back to the rest of the video

[@bkbrp64]

She influenced me as well. I like mine but wish it didn’t leave a dirty 1” border.

[@InsideCenterDani]

I’m using you as background noise this morning and even though I know you said this was a compilation I had a mini freak out in the first few minutes when you said something about your morning sickness. Whoa! 😳. It’s nice to hang out with you this morning while I’m working.

[@lennyburdick3192]

BTW The changes you made this year to the play area have been wonderful.

[@kelvindonnel4608]

Hey Lenny! How are you doing?

[@gretamchenry1603]

I'm so glad you showed the toilet tank. Never thought I would ever say that, but we moved into a house with well water and I did not know to clean the inside of the tank to help. I bet that is why it smells after a couple days from cleaning my toilet. Thanks for teaching me. The toilet struggle has been real.

[@pamc9772]

Best believe this is going to be the new video to fall asleep to, watching someone clean their house uses up all my energy and helps me get off to sleep 😂😂. Plus if you fall asleep, the creator gets in all of those add watches and here’s the best part… you get to come back to the video and watch it again 🥰 Strange how you find someone on the internet and they help you get through so many hard times without them even knowing. Watching Kim’s videos is my escape from reality and watching her videos has got me through so many different things mentally 🥰

[@amandamorris754]

Hey Kim, FINALLY I have bought a Bissell Crosswave, And wow Thanks for your Tip. It really is fantastic Kim.

[@christiegodfrey7756]

A 2 hour video!!! And it’s a snow day here in New York, I need this today!

[@kathyfischer5983]

I had a front loader washer when they first came out. I liked it, but my house shook. My ceiling fan in my upstairs bedroom would shake. I have had regular top loaders, but now I have a speed queen top loader and I LOVE IT. It has a full 7 year warranty on parts and labor. I have had it for 3 years with no issues.

[@dawnwebb1115]

Wow. Unlocking memories. I have 7 children. My baby is 21 now, but wow do I remember those days. I always worked full time and still did all the cleaning. Made it to all the games etc. Sure do miss those days. But enjoying grand babies now. (And a clean house). Lol

[@brynnegibbs8696]

LISTENNNNN I never comment on videos but I put yours on for some inspiration while I cleaned (Literally typed in cleaning inspiration and clicked on the first long one I saw) and I loooove your vibe. I felt like you were here cleaning with me. You called it rambling but girl little do you know we were having full blown conversation 😅 i low key got sad when the music came on. I can’t pinpoint it but you’re relatable in a way that all the other channels I’ve come across are not. You’ve gained another subscriber and now I know who to come to for cleaning inspo

Add lots of dog hair to that cup you filled and mine is so much worse. I have to empty it often because it makes that high pitch noise because of the amount of dog hair. My house has never been cleaner! Thanks again Kim!
