OK… Gittemary… I just gotta say that the collection of dust bunnies on your radiator is nothing compared to the collection of dust rhinoceroses that we have on our TV/stereo system. It’s like a lunar landscape, and since my partner is the entertainment system dude… I’m leaving it to him round up the dust rhinos and deal with it. (We might be waiting a while!!) Thanks for this fun cleaning vlog Gittemary!! PS - just wondering if you ever miss the kitchen shower in your old apartment??😂 PPS - I saw in your windowsill the cute little wire basket that you got on your recent Island hiking adventure. That l’il basket is a total score!! 🌎💦Ⓜ️ary💕
@Gittemary2 жыл бұрын
Haha I love the idea of dush rhinos 😂✨ Haha, honestly, sometimes I do, I loved having a shower while my pasta was simmering, such a mood haha - and the little soap holder in the shower was great for a glass of wine to, you don't get that level of home-wellness with having to shower in your kitchen 🎉🎉

I have to be careful about what I use/ how I clean my house because my husband has really bad asthma where literally everything causes his lungs to seize up. I’ve definitely found that zero waste options are the best for this since I make mine from scratch and therefor can limit the amount of scent that I use. The harsh chemicals in a lot of cleaners even make my breathing difficult! I also have to wet dust with a damp cloth instead of dry dust to keep it out of the air and can never use air fresheners. Just means I have to keep on top of it more so that nothing ever smells.

We use one of my hubbys shoes to clean the livingroom rug. We call them 'karvakengät' in finnish, wich means 'hairshoes' in english. 😃 It's so much fun to put on the shoes and start 'kicking' like a chicken. That's the one thing our kids like to clean too. 😅

No shoes for cleaning rugs here, but I do use an old hair brush which does the trick 👌 With the hair that accumulates in only a short period of time, I will NEVER understand why anyone would want wall to wall carpet - I spent an exchange year in England for uni, and the first thing I did was vacuum that wall to wall carpet in my room. And let me tell you: it was NASTY. 😅 We were gifted some older carpets by family when we moved into our apartment, but if we ever are to get new ones, I will definitely choose some flatwoven ones, to avoid the problem altogether 🤣🤣

You have such a soothing voice. I don't know if you get many comments about your voice (and positive ones I hope!) but I find it so nice to listen to and for some reason it makes things seem more interesting. I've already transitioned majority of my life to zero waste but your voice helps me stay motivated haha sorry if that sounds weird. Love a good clean with me video and of course love a good zero waste clean with me video. As far as I know you have been the only one whose made a clean with me video, other low waste youtubers only make videos and only talking about the products, not actually filming them in action. Although if you know of any other vids like this that you can recommend, this fan will really enjoy that.
