Here we GO! The first moving vlog! There were tons of ups and downs.... mostly trying to get that SMELL out of the carpet and clean before I move anything in. I just love renting! Stay tuned for the next parts as this is just the tip of the iceberg!
Thank you all so much for watching and I really hope this video helped inspire you to start your own journey WHATEVER that may be!

When my son was 2 years old we moved into a studio apartment. I bought bunk beds and it worked out so good. I was very lucky it was a older single woman who had this apartment above her garage. It came table and chairs, plus living room furniture. It was a blessing.

I agree that it's the perfect solution! And then there'd still be plenty of room for the desk and bookcase. Or, if need be, the bookcase can go into the living room or hallway. It looked narrow enough, I think for that. Wait...I *think* you have a short hall? I'll need to watch again. Best part is those bed frames are pretty inexpensive at Walmart, Target or even inexpensive furniture places like Rooms To Go or even liquidation furniture places. And they often come in colors - they're powder coated steel tubular frames.

For the cracks behind the faucet and grout I buy Clorox Spray in the green bottle it has bleach and disinfects and cleans the cracks, the black stuff! I only use it sparingly like every quarter or every 6 months it is potent. Once it is clean you can put some caulk in that area. Some people are just not clean even when living in a rental! I never understood that, a small apartment does not take a lot of time!
@DiannaGrable-fm8jd
@DiannaGrable-fm8jd День назад

The crack behind the bathroom sink is an easy fix. Scrape off all the loose caulk with a knife and get a tube of caulk that is good for wet areas like showers. Squeeze a bead along the top of the sink next to the back wall and use your finger to smooth it out. Use a damp cloth to clean up the line til it looks good to you. Let it dry for 48 hours, maybe 24 would be enough, but 48 to make sure it is really dry. You have a nice clean white line where the crack used to be. Sorry to hear your marriage is ending if you get along well. Every marriage has ups and downs. Have you talked to a pastor, priest, counselor? Looks like you are making great progress on the move though.

@dscrerar1111 That doesn't work for pet urine. I've had pets for 25 years and steam cleaning will highlight the smell more often than it cleans it. The urine soaks deeper into padding - hence why letting vinegar soak into it and dry naturally works better

Clorox makes a urine stain and odor remover, I got mine at Lowe's it was $17 a gallon, follow the instructions on the bottle. My husband had dementia, at stage seven toileting becomes an issue, he peed all over the house and the Clorox removed every hint of urine odor. I also put some in my carpet cleaner along with 20 Mule Team Borax and that seemed to work as well.

I had a one bedroom as a single mom. I had my kid in the bedroomn and my room was the living room. I had a pullout couch. Wasn’t comfy and nobody came over so I just out a bed in the living room. If you are going to share I’d suggest when you get the money to maybe downgrade bed size if you can. If it’s a full go to a twin? Also it’s easier to work with once your moved In to see how it works. Another option would be put your bed under his then there will be floor space for him to play :)

I think that both you and your son would benefit by looking at your new place as a container that can only fit so much in it. Perhaps he can just have one bag of toys and let go or place another tote bin in your mums storage space. Being in a smaller place with too much stuff around you is not helpful for either yours or your son’s mental wellbeing. It would be lovely to see you both thrive in your new home. Be ruthless with what you take from your kitchen, just the bare essentials. You’ve done a great job making the place spotless before you move in, It’s a great way to discover your new space and start making it a fresh new home for yourselves. All the best with it.

Hi Libby, Good to see you. Years ago, I was in almost the same situation you are in as far as bedroom space that I had to share with the kids. I bought a metal double decker a full at the bottom and twin at the top. It gave us plenty of room to work with. Until my situation got better so I rented a bigger apartment where the kids could have their room and I could have mine. It was very crammed, but we managed. We moved to another apartment where there were only 2 kids, then 3 and finally 4. Of course I remarried and the family grew from 3 to 6.

I’ve moved into apartments like this and done lots of cleaning. What always frustrated me is the fact that they wanted to keep security deposits yet they did little to no cleaning in between tenants. I’m glad you complained about the cat urine because I guarantee they kept part or all of that tenant’s security deposit. I always left apartments far cleaner than I found them and only once did a landlord thank me for it and give me back my deposit. Years later my husband and I bought rental property and we treated our tenants and our property with great care. Also, for anyone needing to get rid of pet smells, there is a spray called Pooph that works really well.

The landlord gets a basic quick dust/wipe/vac clean done, but I still got 7shades of shiRt (and then some) outta our place before we moved in! 😂 Wishing you all the best with the rest of your move, and the next chapter of your lives 💗🙏

A cliffhanger!!! OK, so this is too late to help you, but if the smell comes back you need to order something called Furry Freshness. In fact, I think every single home needs this stuff. No, I have no interest in the company or the people who own it, just REALLY love the product. You spray it on and leave it and the stain/smell/substance *evaporates* because its part hydrogen peroxide and part bacterial component that actually eats the piss/blood/sweat/spit/vomit/etc. The smell becomes ever so slightly more intense while its still wet but it dries in a matter of hours (or overnight if you had to soak it down into the carpet pad) but then it *never comes back*! For anyone who owns a pet or has a kid, this stuff is a must have!!! I have 3 house bunnies, 2 dogs, a son, and a hubby who is probably messier than all the others combined and the only things this doesn't work on is grease and mold. I use it to treat laundry stains, clean my car upholstery, and all the floors, including tile grout!!! Not cheap, so try the small spray bottle but I promise when you see how well it works you'll buy the gallon jug. My 23 yo son just had an upper GI tear that made him throw up so much blood it made a 3 foot diameter puddle on the bathroom tile. It looked like a crime scene! And of course hubby and I were focused on getting him to the hospital, so it didn't get cleaned up even a little until the next day. Hubby thought the tile would have to be jack hammered out and replaced. Nope! Furry Freshness got it all out of the grey grout and it actually looks better than before the disaster. And yeah, the kid is all fixed up now too 😉

They have professional strength Febreeze, which is highly concentrated and lasts forever, and laundry additive febreeze for pet odors. I mix it with carpet shampoo, which helps so much; mix your bottle with professional febreeze and spray a couple of times a day everything for a week after thoroughly drying of the shampoo. Do not forget to spray closets and curtains; in my home, I spray febreeze on shower curtains. I also use essential oil droppers in fresh trash bags and simmer pots. Try powerful scents like cinnamon and mint scents are best to keep rodents and spiders away. Use garden sprayers; they are more powerful, scrub daddies and mommas are great with the pink stuff, to clean with in kitchen and bath. Not costly at all.

I know exactly how you feel. I moved to a new apartment about five years ago, and when I walked in, it was just so dirty and there were ants all over one of the window seals. When I walked over to the office to tell them, I broke down in tears. I had just sold my condo and moved to this apartment, and I was thinking that I made a huge mistake. It all worked out in the end, and I eventually relocated to a new state, which is why I sold the condo. I’m sure the apartment will look great after you clean it and get all of your stuff moved in.

Am watching your video that popped up on my feed so just in case you dont figure out the cat pee smell THERE ARE great cleaners out there, I promise!! For new & old pet stains Angry Orange, Rocco & Roxy spray or.vinegar if you are in a pinch. Please try Angry Orange! Citrus or the Rocco & Roxy has a clove(?)type of scent but again both work great at getting rid of old pet stains/smells & new! Shampooing may not do the trick 😁May hv to do it repeatedly but it will be worth it!

@lauramitchell6725

My husband had a truck mounted carpet cleaning business for over thirty years. The decent landlords would get the carpets professionally cleaned every time someone moved out,the great ones had him use his black light to check for pet urine spots and then the awesome ones change the carpet out completely. A coffee cup size spot usually means there is a dinner plate size stain that went through the pad and into the subfloor. (Just cleaning the surface means that when it’s humid inside or raining outside, the dried alkaline salt of the urine is going to reactivate into the acidic ammonia and stink again.) However,my husband had an attachment called a cat’s claw which allowed him to soak the carpet all the way to the subfloor,with water and enzyme solution but super suction it all back out again. That really did address the problem. A cheaper solution was to take his OVERSIZED hypodermic needle with anti microbial enzyme solution and shoot it down under the padding. That worked too. If you can’t resolve this,(I haven’t watched to the end) try to rent or borrow a black light,use it at night and then show the landlord,I know,super duper pain in the butt!😖

If it helps you - We also always clean the entire place before moving in :D It just feels wrong to move into someone elses dirt... I wish you best of luck that it will become a comfy home and that you'll be able to find good homes for your animals. I feel how hard it must be for you to manage everything on your own, and to give away your cats. I can't imagine how hard it must be, but you will do it! You are strong, and sooner or later better times will come!

Baking soda for carpet will eliminate that smell. Buy a gallon of simple green. It's a natural cleaner that many meat packing companies use. It cleans below surface, eliminates smells. Good luck. Down sizing can be a good thing.

Starting off in a clean environment is important, it's establishing your own boundaries🌻I have meticulously cleaned every home I've moved out of and into. I even remove the toilet seat, clean it and reinstall it. I also take video going room to room to prove conditions upon leaving and entering. It's hard to dispute footage🎥

You're not paranoid! I'm a huge believer in cleaning before moving in! Yuck - other people's dirt! 😂 Now if you REALLY want to talk paranoia, I can't move in without buying a new toilet seat of my own. Just NOT using somebody else's toilet seat! Haha! Except I know it's weird - I have no problem using the toilet seats in other peoples' houses. And then there are public bathrooms... 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hi. Just a suggestion for the bathroom sink caulk situation. Old caulk needs to be removed and new caulk put in. I would call apt. complex to do that. Then, I'd probably buy the Dollar Tree stick on vinyl tiles and create a little backsplash.
