WINTER CLEANING MOTIVATION / MESSY HOUSE CLEAN WITH ME / WEEKEND CLEANING MOTIVATION

[@annparsons2112]

Just a word on cleaning a cast iron skillet. You can wash them by hand but dry well and grease with olive oil or cooking oil. They will rust if you don't. But you definitely should hand clean them well. Don't just wipe them. I have had mine for years and this is how I take care of mine and I learned this from my grandmother.

[@mrscurtis0801]

I use really hot water to rinse, do not touch it with soap, just salt and chain mail sponge, dry with towel then put on stove on low for few minutes to make sure is dry all the way so doesn't rust

[@missMediaChick]

That's defeating part of the purpose of cast iron. Washing with soap removes the seasoning that's built up on it.

[@emmathompson7904]

I love using cast iron skillets!! Such a nice way to add iron into your diet. I usually wash mine with soap and and a scrubby because I’m lazy but when I’m not feeling lazy I’ll scrub it with salt, oil, and a paper towel. I’m not sure if that is totally right, I learned that from my grandmother. It does work well tho! 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@cherylparks7669]

My one word is going to be me. I always put myself last and don’t take care of myself the way I should. This will be difficult but I am really going to try. Merry Christmas to all of you. 🎄🎄

[@marthafisher93]

Great job as always and yes you can wash your cast-iron pot with soap and water then put it on the burner let it dry and let it cool then rub some olive oil in it and it's ready for the next time hope this helps you and others see you next time

[@chelebledsoe5965]

Same on putting off projects bc I’m just constantly cleaning!! I have to really make an effort to make myself start a project. I like to clean so I’ll just clean and clean and clean and never get anything else done if I don’t stop and have a little chat with myself 😉

[@debbiejansen555]

I've used fast iron pans for years! I wash mine by hand with soap!! Then I dry it good and oil it. You can definitely wash it! I've had the same pan for more than 5 years and it's still good as new! 😀💖

[@jacquiebeattie649]

Michelle wow!!! You did soooooo much!!! I do like my black frying pans. Finances!!!! For 2023. Pay my charge card OFF!!! you truly inspire me. Love your videos!!

[@PaulKimmy-mx1lm]

DITL videos would be great!!! I love your chattiness. I'm that way so it's normal to me. I have been watching older videos of yours and you asked about DITL videos and I'd love them. I love your videos and motivatingness!!! You're helping me get out of the funk I've been in for quite some time!!! I appreciate it!!!

[@soniadaniel6295]

Your explanation on cleaning the cast iron was it for me.

[@donnasr1799]

I have been using cast-iron for many years and all I do is wash them by hand using dish soap and then rinse and dry and put a light coating of oil in it. Once they are seasoned correctly they are virtually non-stick.

[@tammylangdon6627]

Finally someone gets it.I can't move forward because I have to keep doing the same thing over and over and can never move forward because by the time I do the regular everyday things and work full-time, I'm too tired to start on my projects that I really want to do. NEW SUBSCRIBER HERE FROM N.C. Loving you channel. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

[@SqueakyCleanLife]

Hey Michelle! You really gave me something to think about today. I’m going to take a couple of weeks to come up with my word for 2023. ❤

[@kareneakers9540]

Love watching your videos! Great motivation! Your house is so beautiful and very spacious! Your baby is so precious! God bless!

[@kaydublin5164]

Hi Michelle, my word is “health”, I’ve been dealing with sciatic since the beginning of September, it’s horrible, I just turned 57, so my son is grown, and that helps with what I’m going thru, but it’s been so tough doing what I usually do in a day. Im trying to just work on myself and to heck with my house for a while. I think you are doing a great job, I absolutely enjoy you and your channel, you are such an inspiration. I wish health and happiness in 2023 for you an your beautiful family.❤

[@itstime9986]

Thank you so much for this video. I'm a mom of three older kids. And cleaning never ends. You make me feel better by being real. Oh, I watched your kitchen org 2021. And as I watch you continue to clean, I can honestly say you have a mind blowing amount of stuff. I'm watching in Amazement. I love it.... the stuff and more stuff. I'm excited to watch your other videos.

[@teresabeamon9650]

My one word for 2023 is " Renewed" I want to renew my walk with the Lord.

[@Iamhome365]

Oh wonder woman is at it again 😁 always look forward to watching. I'm trying to do a big tidy up - its going slow - and trying to decorate too. I'm always amazed at how much u get done!!

[@amandasnailtasticnails9657]

I haven’t thought about my work for 2023.

[@vlk40]

One thing I found that really helps with cast iron is when I’m done cooking I immediately take a spatula and scrape the grease out into my garbage. Also I know there are metal mesh cast iron “cloths” you can buy on Amazon for scrubbing that work well! Love your videos always and wish you didn’t get heck for being a maximalist. I would guess most people aren’t but they are not being judged on KZbin! ❤

[@melissahammersley7678]

You have the best music on your videos

[@DoctorCara]

[@shereemorgan1430]

[@aubreystalcup5452]

You can use dishsoap on your cast iron pans. A long time ago when soap was made with lye you could not use that on cast iron pans. But our soap is made differently now. If they can clean oil off baby ducks with Dawn, you can use it on your iron pans.

[@deborah3055]

Great motivation Michelle thanks for sharing!

[@stephaniespears4946]

Hi michelle layin in bed watchin ur video feelin lil bit under the weather

[@carlabraham4857]

You can use dish soap to wash it and then oil it dish soap won't damage the cast iron pot I love them they are good to cook pancakes

[@mitzyrae8574]

Good evening, Michelle. Funny really, I was just twlling my co-worker today, next year is going to be different then any other year. I too, like you want to downsize my stuff, and work on my debt. My word is "Disciplined" I truly need it work on that. Thank you, for your real-life moments.

[@wandachiles6311]

Heat pan and pour the grease in old tin can you cool then use paper towels,can use the little water and to dry get the pan hot and use little oil and paper towel likely oil.

[@MichelleOMalley711]

Love that!! You got this Tracy!

[@tableofsix90]

you can clean your cast iron with salt and water if you must wash it . make sure you dry it completely by heating it up on the stove or oven after putting grease or oil in it . I absolutely love my cast iron once tou get it seasoned properly it cleans up like a dream but they are a labor of love . And plus it adds Iron into your food as you cook in it so that's an added benefit

[@quianthomas5274]

Hi Michelle- I love my cast iron skillets, I was raised using them. I was mine then dry & oil immediately- just like the other comments suggest. Before Christmas, I had my kids declutter with me. If they wanted Santa to bring more toys then we needed to make room. We would often donate them..I would also watch and see what they are actually playing with or just pulling out to find/ get to other things - thst stuff went by-by as well.. Great job! Have a wonderful weekend Suga

[@sabrinarichardson1582]

Cleaning cast iron, you can wash it with soap, rinse it real good.. Put it on the stove on low and let it dry that way and then you spread oil all over ..

[@shereemorgan1430]

Cast iron is a pain sometimes. I do use Dawn on mines. Been cleaning them for decades like that. First time watching your channel. I am watching you after 10 pm. I have zero motivation at this hour, lol!

[@deltarain4030]

I use dish soap and steel pad on my cast iron then I heat dry on the stove and rub in more mineral oil.

[@corvettebibbs8955]

I love my cast iron skillet 😂 but I still wash mine and then rub oil on it to prevent like rusting

[@ashleymontgomery4628]

I love our cast iron. You can use hot water and course salt to clean for stuck on stuff. I usually just use hot water and a scrub brush, dry off and oil it back up. That is the easiest way I have found. But if he is particular about how the pan keeps its seasoning not sure if this way of cleaning it affects that.

[@barbarapratt5682]

Hey Michelle… it’s a goal as a opposed to a word…get healthy. I’ve done terrible in 2022. I was at my best during the pandemic believe it or not🤷‍♀️. People love cast iron pans but I’ve never bought into it …maybe because I feel like cleaning them is a pain..idk. January is the pits here in upstate NY…longest month ever and cold, snowy and dark. 😢

[@elisagreenwald9062]

[@mudandglitter1609]

Just a note on the Disney trip thing. I took my kids when they were 7,7, and 4. We had to go back this year, now that my youngest is 12 because he had no memory of it. My brother took his kids around ages 2 and 4. They don't remember either. So, do go if you want the experience for yourself and to see them having fun, I know I will never forget that first trip, but I'd wait if you are only planning to go once. My older kids do remember going at 7 if that helps. I feel like they were still young enough to truly love it and feel the magic but old enough to have those memories. ETA: My word for 2023 is, "start." I find that once I start something it becomes easy to continue. I have to remind myself it just start!

[@aprilbrynan4365]

To clean a cast iron pan you're supposed to hand wash it not put in the dishwasher and then hand dry it then put olive oil on it or cooking oil on it and season it then put it in the oven for a little while. Although your not suppose to season it all the time.

[@jamiebeasley22]

I’m not a fan of cast iron either. I’m not the best cook as it is but they stress me out and then the clean up is a hassle so I don’t use it.

[@mschenandlerbong8539]

I would get the kids real presents. Experiences are great... when you get to experience them months later. And by then it has no connection to Christmas, and let's be honest, you would be doing it anyway. I like the idea of prepping for Christmas by having the kids pick out old toys they no longer want to donate. Explain to them other kids won't get presents, they don't have money for it. Make them the hero of providing gifts by donation. Presents aren't bad, it's just when we don't clean out beforehand a windfall.

[@teresabeamon9650]

I don't like them myself. They're heavy. You can hand wash it. Then dry it & spray it with cooking spray. Then wipe out the cooking spray with a paper towel. They call it seasoning them. That helps them from rusty.

[@Chgogal1]

I had to laugh when you said you were secretly throwing away the little hair clips lying around. That was so me when my kids were little. My kids are grown now, but when they were little those little Barbie pieces use to drive me crazy and every time I had to pick them up I would throw them away. 😂

[@MichelleOMalley711]

Haha yes!! They are everywhere! I’m glad I’m not the only one!

[@andreabingham1732]

Haha two of my kids are the same with the whipped cream! Except they call it shaving cream… so they ask me to spray some shaving cream in their mouths 😂

[@kyleekuhl2981]

My word for 2023 is going to sound kind of selfish but I will explain. My word is reward. It's this for many reasons. 1. We have spent the last 3 years building a business, this year I'm speaking reward into existence. 2. My husband has almost always lived away from us with military training, deployments, duty stations etc and this is the first year he is with us full time because he is finally out of the army, so the waiting and missing him leads to this year's reward. 3. We have been on our infertility journey for 5 years, did ivf, have done 3 embryo transfers all 3 resulting in a pregnancy but not a baby in our arms but 3 angels instead. During ivf we ended up with 11 embryos to freeze and didn't want them to be discarded so we donated some to another military couple and their first baby from our embryos was born Christmas day. A beautiful blessing and we are so happy for them and him. So after everything we've been through in this journey this year in speaking reward into existence and that this upcoming embryo transfer gives us our baby granted the money for transfer is raised since we have already paid 30k. So after years of ups and downs and Roller-coaster ride after roller-coaster ride I am speaking reward into our lives. The past years have been us working up to this year. ❤️

[@MichelleOMalley711]

Kylee that is not selfish at at! In fact you and your husband deserve nothing more than all the rewards and blessings that this transfer and this year will be your year! Paying so hard you! 🙏
