@@ruolov1 Oh absolutely, and I’m aware of how cheap and easy it is. Spent my fair share caulking joints. Just pointing it out for folks who may not know. A toothbrush is a bit abrasive and can remove the silicone over time.
I wear a glove and stick my hand in the garbage disposal and clean it that way. You can feel all the nasty sludge and grime and clean it way better than a brush cuz you can feel when it's perfectly clean. I also have hot water running while doing it. 🥰
You can also run a bunch of ice (with water of course) through it, and it grabs gunk and wipes it away! If it still smells bad, try adding citrus or baking soda or vinegar with the ice. Good luck!
Bro my mom makes me do this everyday , we're Arabs and she hates it when something isn't clean so basically right now I myself can't handle seeing the sink unclean even in the slightest so I do this at the end of the day when I'm not using it , except the baking soda , that's once a week :)
This may seem like common knowledge to some people but I love your videos. There is no shame in learning new ways to make life better. And if anything your videos are just filled with good energy. I dont know how to describe it but your videos are great for grounding myself when anxiety is so high that I get too overwhelmed.
Oh also, you should turn off the garbage disposal breaker, you don’t have to unplug it after that, sometimes unplugging the disposal with the outlet off can cause a big spark. (i learned it the hard way)
I'd rinse before you put the vinegar in. You're just neutralizing the baking soda and vinegar by combining them. But if you do them separately by rinsing in between you'll get the benefits of high and low pH cleaning. Also, stuff a bunch of icecubes in the disposal and grind them up. Can help sharpen the blades a little bit
Every time I peel an orange, basically everyday, I just toss it down the sink. It smells so good and cleans the blades. If I get a bad orange in my little mandarin bag every so often I just toss the whole thing down 😂
DONT EVER PUT ANY TYPE OF PEELS CITRUS OR LEMON AS MANY DIYS TELL YOU. from a plumber here, thats a bad idea. But go ahead and clog up your disposal if you want
To answer that question... the sink is cleaned regularly- at least a few times a week, the drain twice a month and yes to the toothbrush. Alos don't forget the faucet and the dishwasher spout that sits on atop the counter. Remember the dishwasher needs a little TLC as well. I was once that freak that cleaned all my appliances, washer dryer. I couldn't stop laughing when my ex found the big screen TV in pieces after coming back early from work COULDN'T count on Sears to be on time. Vacuum cleaner is also a must, they reak when neglected (onve had an in-law use my $2,400 machine as a wet-dry vac on wet banana TF, - thats a nope!
OCD isn’t about organizing constantly and cleaning you could vary well have ocd and be really messy and unorganized. OCD is basically over obsessing on the little things but it’s very painful because they can’t control it because they think something bad could happen and it an over lingering thought. I babysat a child who did and would scream constantly but she wasn’t a clean person it’s the little things they can’t control. They may do multiple things like repeating words, cleaning skin constantly till it could bleed and hurt them, over fixate on stuff. It’s not necessarily cleaning. That’s the knowledge I have of it I’m not a psychologist but people can feel free to correct or add more stuff
@churchofsatan7873 Well many with OCD do over clean and clean and clean. I knew a lady who was scrubbing her driveway with a toothbrush. She also washed her kids raw in the tub.
Great advice but a think Brillo pad is more then enough for all of this. They pretty much instantly clean everything off, don’t leave scratches even on Teflon and stuff, really easy to clean and cheap as hell. Every time I clean something in my kitchen I use one, I also cut them in half or even thirds because you don’t need the whole pad and it even gets in the way sometimes.
If you don't have a cleaning toothbrush, a butter knife against the scrubber or dishcloth works great, too. And no risk of a little one putting a cleaning toothbrush in their mouth.
My man got a new kitchen, good for him some of the I my good that on social media, I do this every other day btw y’all don’t be nasty and clean your sinks often I spray bleach in mine along with the soap
Doing the baking soda and vinegar in your sink and let it sitfor 5 minutes and then pour boiling water down the drain will clear partially blocked drains. It may not seem to work, but let it sit for 2-3 hours and the sink will drain free.
Using vinegar with baking soda doesn't clean anything, it neutralizes each other so it basically makes salty water however if you use them individually it's better for cleaning.
and remember hot water is supposed to be 120° if you have a gas tankless or propane tankless water heater , or 125 if you have a old school water heater because back when the old school water heaters were made they didn't know what 120 was apparently. mine's not old old but it is old school style. tanked water heater standard water heater electric I have to set to it to 125 because if you go below 120 you'll grow Legionella not to mention your cleaning task won't do very well. if you need hot water . but on the flip side, you should have anti-scolding for all your fixtures were you can wash your hands or your body. cuz 120 will burn you within 8 minutes. these temperatures I mentioned are in Fahrenheit
