Hi, Melissa and team! I'm in Australia and wondered if you had any recommendations for great quality microfibre/cleaning cloths that I would have access to? Thanks! 😊

[@esk103]

Another tip. If you have food items to be thrown out but they are not compost compatible. Put them in a bag and place them in the freezer until your collection date. This eliminates any odors, completely.

[@p123york9]

I canceled my garbage service three or four years ago in favor of taking my garbage to the dump every four months or so (at $15 a trip, versus $45 a month for my city garbage service), and I do exactly that with the very little that I can't compost). I keep a box in my stand-alone freezer to collect it. Saves almost $500 a year. I doubt I could do that if I were on city water and sewer, but since I'm on a well and septic, I just told them to put me on a "vacation hold" and there I stay.

[@diamondringirl]

i live in an apartment building and if i have food scraps sitting even a few minutes it can attract fruit flies or ants so i take them to the dumpster ASAP. i am OCD with trying to keep them out of the apartment. in the winter if the sidewalk is slippery or if it's pouring down rain i put it in the freezer. i also don't get any odors from things.

[@elainewalton4193]

Hi. Melissa. I have started watching your videos going right back to the beginning and they have given me the motivation to clean and declutter my whole house. I watch your videos while I am sorting and cleaning and they keep me motivated. I have bought some spray bottles and ingredients to make my own cleaning products. I am hoping by the end of my declutter and clean that it will be much easier to keep on top of things. The more i clear out the things I don’t need, the better I feel. Thanks for all the advice,ideas and cleaning hacks. 😊

[@amyjacob2100]

Omg! I got so much stuff done this morning. All the blankets and sheets on my bed are being washed, master bathroom cleaned and organized, stovetop scrubbed and burner grates washed, dishes washed, kitchen island cleaned off. I love getting motivated just by watching cleaning videos! And maybe a little coffee ☕️

[@RadioGirLF]

Yes I hang the laundry and washed some dishes while watching, this was motivating.

[@RenefromOntario]

I run on the treadmill while watching your videos😮 I like to clean/vacuum...crazy 😂 I do bathrooms & kitchen every morning before I shower Vacuuming & dusting, each level (I have 5) is done on a different day. Weekends are free. But I'm retired and can take my time 😊😊😊

[@dsbennett]

As far as where start vacuuming - we have a Roomba. So nice to wake up in the morning and find vacuum tracks in all the rooms.

[@anadajboc625]

Really struggled with cleaning my floors before, especially since it's not just crumbs but also cooking spills that end up everywhere. Your 3 Wave System has been a game changer for me! It's made my cleaning process so much faster and more efficient. Thanks for sharing this method; it's completely transformed how I handle my cleaning chores.

I am folding laundry that I cleaned yesterday! I have a chronic illness that leaves me exhausted and weak most of the time. It's hard for me to keep up. Your video is very helpful.

[@sofieydesen437]

Hi Lynn. I know exactly how you feel. The urge and desire to do things doesn’t fit what your body allows. It’s very challenging and difficult when your mind is in one place and your body isn’t able.

I just saw another video recommending a window vacuum. They didn't say a brand.

[@mialmpeterson]

I watched while folding laundry. I am going to vacuum our beds after I’m done! I’m always annoyed by the walls/baseboards/ceiling fans in my home because I never have time to clean them!

[@5rgyyuyrgg]

When I was younger, I use to care about the perfect carpet cut lines. Now that I'm over 60 and have major back and hips problems. I don't care if they are perfect as long as my area rugs are vacuumed.

[@beverlyav910]

I would love a microfiber scrubbing glove for the baseboards or floors

[@amyk3020]

Melissa thank you for this informative video. Have watched you FOR YEARS!!! Could you do a video or recommend on on the best microfiber cloth to use on our floors when washing. I have a problem with the cloth when wet or damp pulling with resistance and it is annoying....would like to also know when you launder them are you using baking sodia to launder and air dry. Thanks

@3:25 we used to have a carpet rake when we were kids. Just the other day my childhood friends and my family were busting up laughing remembering when we were at home and we would hear the garage door open because my dad HATED footsteps in the living room and we all scrambled trying to pick up stuff and rushing to rake the carpet footprints up before he would come in the house and get upset. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Just interested in ideas because I appreciate your style. Thanks 🙂

I wish you would give examples of the products needed. What enzyme cleaners do you use or make? When is dust mite season?

[@sandyh8755]

I was wondering when dust mite season is as well.

[@saramations]

I really like check lists. We used to have a magnetic white board on the fridge that had a list of chores to do and we would erase them when they were done. It kept us all on the same page and motivated us to get things done. I miss it, it got old and dirty-- definitely on the replace list. 😂

[@MyFocusVaries]

I made a list for my son and put it in a plastic sleeve so he can use a dry erase pen to cross off items, then wipe off the list at the end of the day.

[@gayareeepany268]

Very nice 🙂

[@amybosse5164]

Cleaning!!

[@MyFocusVaries]

Re dust mites, this is why you should leave your sheets pulled down when you first get up. Let your perspiration evaporate because a moist environment encourages dust mites. Don't make your bed until the bed is dry (half hour). Best practice, wrap the mattress in a zippered dust mite/bed bug proof cover. Over that, a padded mattress cover you can wash and dry, which will kill all the dust mites. Dead.

[@abbynormal371]

Does anyone know a good brand for a dust mite mattress encasement? I tried one that was certified by the Allergy and Asthma Foundation of America and it was WAY too hot to sleep on. It was like plastic fabric on the inside.

[@MyFocusVaries]

@@abbynormal371 Mine is Gainsborough. I bought it at North Shore Linens in North Vancouver BC Canada. They ship to Canada and the U.S.

I am having a pretty good time keeping my home clean. Using a lot of tips I got from clean my space. I am struggling with kids toys. I have a two year old and he will help clean up but sometimes it just gets too much for both of us. Then it stops me from cleaning the room because it takes time to pick up and tidy first. Is the only trick to just declutter?

[@tknows470]

I suggest rotating toys out - get a big tub and put away half the toys and in 3 months, swap,out some toys. I forget where I learned that trick but it makes things easier to pick up and when you bring out the toys they seem new again 😊.

“Magically” brings back memories for me. Years ago when my kids were young teens/tweens, they would bring a drinks or food to their rooms which were upstairs. Outside there room was a desk where they would place them when they were done. 😮. I would naturally pick those up when I would see them and take them to the kitchen. They deemed it the “Magic Desk”, because their dishes would magically disappear.😂😂 I can laugh now but at least it wasn’t left in their rooms.

[@MyFocusVaries]

There's a KZbin video about a guy declaring his girlfriend a missing person, worried she fell onto the magic coffee table. The male cop fully believes the magic table (where the mess he always left magically disappeared from) is where the girlfriend disappeared to. The female cop is looking at the two of them, incredulous. She knows the girlfriend got tired of cleaning up after the clueless dude.
