Hello from Japan. Just wanted to tell you that here in Japan we use the damp duster to absorb water, like on the bathroom walls after a shower so that there is less build up or on the kitchen sink after the last rinse at night. Here it has been always marketed like that. Love your channel.

@lisaphares2286 Год назад

Love the attitude! Whole house doesn’t need to be super clean all the time or even most the time. Vacuum frequently if you have kids and pets (this I try to do daily as both of us have asthma and we have a dog) and clean as you see it. I clean my sink & tub with baking soda & simple green and a sink brush. The toilet same but with toilet brush. Simple green also works on floors and walls. It doesn’t have harsh chemicals like formula 409 that make me cough (asthma) and if I want smell goods I use the Boulder disinfectant cleaner that smells like rosemary. Right now I’m also working on using up a bunch of cleaners that were left in the house we bought a bit over a year ago. Too frugal to throw away.

FYI: There are no harmful chemicals in Magic Erasers. They are just melamine foam that is slightly harder than the gunk you want to remove without being abrasive enough to damage the surface you're trying to clean. It doesn't release any chemicals, it just wears away from use due to friction.

@tinekecarlson1220 Год назад

Dishwasher pods don't work because they skip the prewash step. Try a powder detergent. Fill the wash and the prewash, run the hot water in the sink and start the dishwasher. Ideally, put your dishwasher on the hottest settings (hi-temp/pots and pans). That should get your dishwasher working just fine. Technology Connections has a couple videos about dishwasher detergent.

I am laughing at the scrub daddy damp duster review. Dawn, you don't have enough dust on your baseboard. 😆 I clean houses for my job, and the SDDD does a great job on very dust surfaces. It is great for getting pet hair off of furniture and surfaces. When I am doing deep cleans, the SDDD is a great tool, but not on regular cleans. Hope this helps🤗

Dawn, oh how you have helped me the last few years. I’ve felt like a prisoner in my own home due to the clutter & chaos. 15 years ago we moved to a new house-we only had about 25% of our belongings inside-I told everyone we didn’t need the rest of the stuff and it was so much easier to keep everything clean(I was onto something but didn’t know it yet). Well I lost that battle against my hubs & 4 small kids. Fast forward to a new home that is less than 1/2 size(were in 5b/3ba 3800sqft now 3b/2ba 1600sqft). We have been busting at seams!! I started with 2 dumpster loads & many truck loads of donations. I’m now seeing daylight at the end of tunnel. I’m about 18 months into this. I should be finished this month!! My mental health had been struggling, but that’s improving too. Thanks for the inspiration & introducing me to Cass & Dana too!! Thank you again!

My cleaning motto is, "Clean more often, clean less hard." And it's true! I know routines don't sound like fun but once you develop them, it's easier in the long run. It works for frugality too because you don't have to spend more money buying special cleaners because nothing really stays stuck on et cetera. Has anyone else found this out? I do realize not everyone loves routines and cleaning and there should not be shame in that of course! If I didn't love cleaning so much then maybe I'd actually get the painting done like you do so well, Dawn!! Speaking of painting, do you all use a special edger between the ceiling and the wall or just regular painter's tape and a brush? I'm trying to decide if it's worth it to buy a gadget and painting is not our expertise ;)

@Conval-wi5eh Год назад

@Juliab Yes yes yes, this! I actually don't love to clean, I love to have cleaned. And that's why I am doing myself a favour and do it regularly so it doesn't become a big hassle. I use dish soap, vinegar, soda and glass cleaner to clean every single thing and spot in our home. On top of that I use a natural scrub once or twice a year when I do a deep clean when the seasons change. There is really no need to have a huge amount of specialized cleaners. I treated myself to some nice cleaning cloths I like to use, but I aso use old cut up shirts. Perhaps one day I will reach a point where I love cleaning like you do 😆Not all hope is lost.

@juliedewyse8436 Год назад

I deep clean 15 minutes a day 5 days a week. This includes decluttering. Everything in my house is decluttered and deep cleaned once every two months ish. I have an index card for every room in my house. I list all the things that need to be done starting from the ceiling working down towards the floor. Every day (Mon -Fri) I take an index card spend 15 minutes cleaning whatever I have listed on the card. When the 15 min is done I stop and the next day I continue working for 15 min . When one index card is completex I put it on the bottom of the stack and continue with the next card. It doesn't take long because as you said the more frequent you clean the easier it is. Also the more I clean the more I have decluttered and the fasted hou can clean. I really don't mind cleaning now.

@Conval-wi5eh Год назад

@@juliedewyse8436 That is so type A and I LOVE it! 😂 I might be stealing this concept for when we have a bigger home. Right now I do a very thorough clean each week in one room. It comes on top of the usual chores and usually only takes an extra 20-30 minutes, the rooms are rather small. My definition of deep cleaning aka spring cleaning (I usually do a second "spring cleaning" in autumn) is to fully empty all cabinets and closets, wipe them down (using the scrub for the kitchen cabinets) and get everything in there clean by wiping it down, washing it or running it through the dishwasher. I wouldn't want to do this every two months. But the 15 minutes deep clean a day sounds very family friendly, if you are a person who thrives with routines. Do you complete your regular chores, like cleaning the bathroom, on the weekend?

It is so much easier clean and keep the house clean when everything has a place. Been working on downsizing and decluttering over the past couple of years, it feels so great!

@margaretvillalpando7722 Год назад

I like the Dawn Power Wash, but I haven't tried the scrub daddy sponges. I do like the Pink Stuff also. I spent about 2 hours today decluttering. I ended up with about 3 trash bags full of items to donate. I had decluttered a previous day and ended up with about 2 bags and 1 box of items. My car is loaded and I'm off to the thrift store tomorrow to donate the items. I also had 2 trash bags full of trash as well.

You can make your own dawn power wash so you don’t have to keep buying it. The exact formula you can get on line. I don’t like using anything unless it’s all natural so I swap out the dawn for my all natural dish soap instead and then add the rubbing alcohol and water with it in the dawn power wash bottle 😊💕🙋🏻‍♀️

I now use Dawn for almost everything in my house. Dawn and water in a spray bottle to clean instead of Windex on windows, mirrors, countertops, appliances, cabinets, walls, baseboards . I bathe my dogs with it! It kills fleas on contact. I use it for upholstery, leather. I mop with it. No rinsing. I use it as a spot cleaner on clothes. I clean my shower and sinks, tubs and toilets by putting it in the hand held refillable dishwashing sponge and scrubber. I have one for each bathroom and one for the kitchen. I also wash my own hair with it! Love it!!! DAWN!! It works better than anything else I have tried. Anything you need to clean try Dawn! Minimalist cleaning product at it's best!

@username9999 Год назад

I basically have three cleaners: dish soap, baking soda, and vinegar. I use all three in the kitchen and bathroom with separate srcub brushes and towels.

I've been using plain jojoba oil for my leather and wood furniture - its great alternative to mineral oil products if you are trying to avoid petroleum based products - it also works as a great cuticle oil in the dryer months

@kristinegrove2610 Год назад

I recommend a rubber-bristle broom. It is amazing on floors and carpets, getting up cat hair and dust when you think the surface is already clean. You can also run it over upholstery. As a bonus,it is a scratch -free alternative to remove powdery snow from your car. Dollar Tree has just started selling the broom head to go on the broom handles that they sell. I keep one for inside and another for outside.

@emmascheubeck9859 Год назад

Mine has a squeeze side, so I also use it to clean the windows outside. And to scrub the bathroom tiles. I love mine so much more versatile then a regular broom.

@mandych715 Год назад

The best thing about the dawn power wash is that you don’t have to purchase refills! You can make your own! There are tons of recipes on Pinterest but basically it’s a few tablespoons of regular dawn dish soap, about 1/4 cup of rubbing alcohol and then fill the rest of the way with water! So in the end it saves on dish soap!

@mimi1o8 Год назад

It’s that simple the actual recipe?

Totally agree with the pink stuff compared to the scrub daddy paste. Works waaaay better.

@a.randolph8112 Год назад

I'm a professional cleaner of 12 years. Here's the best trick to get an all-purpose cleaner. Get yourself a generic spray bottle, squeeze enough Dawn or your favorite dish soap to cover the bottom of the bottle, fill the rest with water and you now have an effective, cost- efficient cleaner that will work for most normal cleaning. There is no need to waste money on the fancy, expensive Dawn spritzers when you can achieve the exact same thing with much less.

@shgry9678 Год назад

I like using spray bottles from the dollar tree. I actually have the same kitchen countertop as you, Dawn. I use a little Dawn dish detergent in fone bottle and fill it up with water. That is also my all-purpose cleaner. Then I love the brown bottles of Lysol concentrate. We use 2 cap fulls in another spray bottle to disinfect the countertop or sink after raw meat. I use baking soda to scrub stove glass top for deep clean. But normally, on the stove top, use Dawn spray, followed by 50/50 vinegar/water spray bottle. The best to clean glass stove top is a 4" razor scrapper from window cleaning supply company like J.R. Racenstein. Also, blue surgical rags by the pound make the best cleaning rags and dish drying cloths. No lint. We are professional window cleaners 35+ years, and these supplies are an added bonus of our business that have found their way into our home's regular routine.

Place the oven racks and bottom oven tray in a large, heavy-duty plastic garbage bag. Pour about 1/4 cup of household sudsy ammonia into the bag and seal it with a twist-tie. Put the bag safely out of the way of children and pets, and let it sit overnight.

@maureenfrancis6288 Год назад

My favorite combination for cleaning is the 1/2 dawn, 1/2 vinegar recipe I got from Dawn! I am amazed at what it will do for my shower. I use Norwex microfiber cloths and water for most everything else and do not have to worry about any cleaner build up over time. I am trying to use baking soda and vinegar more. I just scrubbed the inside of my washer with vinegar to get the hard water off, and now it is sparkling! I try to be as absolutely minimal about how many cleaners I have. The scents are nice, but bother my family, so it is nice to know that clean doesn't have a smell!

@mariebradek6876 Год назад

I used a spray bottle I had on hand filled it with filtered water and added two tablespoons of Clear Ivory dish soap. It works great! Love not wasting dish soap anymore and no bad chemicals for us.

I love my scrub daddies. My dog rubs against the wall leaving disgusting black border on my walls that are usually so hard to get off. I use a little bowl or bucket of water and a little Mrs meyers dish soap and my scrubby daddy and it is the only thing I've found that easily took off all the dirt and oil from the wall. I also use on my base boards. I use very little water and rinse the scrubby daddy frequently. Plus I love having a different color for dishes, ones for bathrooms, etc. I do catch my self having conversations with my scrubby daddy. I say I don't want to clean. But then I squeeze him to make his mouth move and he always says he loves cleaning and he is hungry for dirt. For some reason that motivates me to clean more to make him happy. Plus his smile always makes me smile

You can make your own refill for the power wash. Mix dish soap, rubbing alcohol, and a little bit of water together and it works just as well.

Hello from Central Minnesota! I appreciate your straight-forward approach and honesty when it comes to products and especially your methods. You've been motivating and encouraging me to do the cleaning I've been putting off because of back pain. Perhaps the best advice for me has been to do a little first. It may seem like you're getting nowhere, but soon those tiny changes for the better motivate to keep going and tackle longer/larger jobs. No guilt in doing only a little ... not thinking of it as a start, but in and of itself worthwhlie.
