      It's not gross but extremely annoying that I cant seem to clean the windscreen well enough to not have streaks! Any advice? What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

      I didn‘t find it but I hate it with all my heart: sticky residue in the cup holder when the lid is not correctly put on and the drinks spills while driving. Drives me nuts! And it seems to collect all the Dunst and crumbs in my car, too 🤷🏼‍♀️

    Hi Melissa! I am addicted to your videos. I've watched so many and it has helped me tremendously! But there is one thing I have found you haven't covered just yet. And that is how to clean the burners and drip pans on top of an electric stove. Also just found out that you can lift an electric stove top up to clean under it! I just recently moved into an apartment and the stove top we have definitely needs some attention.

    One time in the heat of the summer, my kids had brought the groceries in from the car trunk. about a week later I opened up the trunk and there was a whole gallon of milk in a plastic jug, totally green, and looking like it was about to blow up. Luckily, it did not blow up but I think a gallon of sour milk may have ruined the car forever if it had.

  • @catzlady.8189

    Be careful with that toothbrush. It can scratch up your interior. Use canned air instead. It works great. Pick up your trash in your car when ever you stop for gas, that way its always cleared out. I have my daughter pick up the back seat every time we get home. I started that when she was little and now its automatic for her as a teen. Keep a microfiber towel in the front seat for quick clean up of liquid messes and quick dusting.

  • @Knight8365
    @Knight8365 Před 4 lety +2

    Some great tips there that will defo help me. Couple things I would throw in; Adam Savage (Mythbusters) recently recommended recycled surgical 'huck' towels for shop rags, but these would be great for cleaning too. If you can't find those, the cotton towel refills for the continuous bathroom hand towels are great. I've found essential oils by them selves are greasy and gather dirt, so I mix with bicarbonate of soda and work it into the pile. Third I always keep a pack of baby wipes, tissues and nappy sacks in the car, for quick mop-up and dispose jobs. Bonus: I have seen in Turkey they replace the top of the dash with less reflective material. Commonly they will use carpet, but a nice felt or baise may suit better. Car proud, nah.

    Best thing to help keep my car clean is plastic floor mats. I have plastics floors mats over the regular floor mats. I’ve had the same plastic floor mats for 22 years.
    Also, I’m too lazy to wash and clean my car so I just take it to the car wash.

    Since I got my new (used but new to me) car, I have forbidden eating inside; except super-long-out-of-state road trips . When cleaning, I usually start in the trunk, then back seats, ending with the driver seat so I can sit and enjoy a clean car. Counterproductive but... everytime I clean my car I then take my dog for a drive 😄

A dollar store squeegee blade will do the job but the Lilly brush is compact and can get into places other things can't. Heather xo

    Great video Melissa. Stinkiest car odor? I picked up a dozen organic fresh chickens from my yoga teacher's farm one fall. I put them in a plastic laundry basket for easy transport from car to house. Moral of this story - always count your chickens as, unbeknownst to me, one of them fell out of the basket and rolled under the car seat. By the time we discovered the source of the putrid "fowl" smell, the chicken was green and so were we as we disposed of it - the car smelled like a nasty pair of old worn golf socks for weeks. Ugh!

    I just ordered molded liners to fit my car, and will do a deep clean before I install them. I’d removed my car seat covers, bought when the car was purchased, for washing and got lazy, so I do need to clean the seats. I’m looking forward to moving on from fiber/carpet protective mats.
    On a side note, while I empathize with the milk and meat left in car comments, I’m so glad I don’t eat those things. One less stinky goof to make.
    I have had a single apple escape. I now tie my nylon bags at the top, and keep bags with perishables in the front seat/front footwell.

    Oh man, stinky car finds.. So, a couple of years ago, we came into possession of a second, partial half gallon of milk from my husband's parents (you can see where this is going). We'd already went grocery shopping that same day, and somehow, that partial half gallon got scooted under the passenger seat. We didn't miss it because we had another half gallon and it slipped both of our minds that we had extra. Fast forward an undetermined amount of time later, and we started noticing a smell. It was sort of sweet, but definitely not pleasant. And then over the course of a couple of weeks, it morphed into a "yep, something is rotting somewhere" smell. We searched the car from top to bottom, and find nothing. We assumed a mouse got into the engine and died, and we just couldn't find the body. The smell was that bad! Well, another couple of weeks go by. One day I opened the backseat passenger door, and I happen to be at the exact angle needed to notice something white peeking out from underneath the passenger seat. I went to investigate further, recognized what it was, and almost vomited in my office parking lot. It had leaked out of the carton (because it was previously opened) and ohhhh, it was rank up close. Thankfully my office has a dumpster on site, so I just drove over to it and tossed it in (while holding my breath). The car instantly smelled 90% better, and getting up the stuff that spilled took out the rest of the odor. We still laugh about the Great Milk Mystery.

    Blood. Doggie got hurt, so I had to take her to emergency vet. During the trip she would shake and blood flew everywhere. She got stitched up and is doing good. Second story: Flood in the parking lot got high enough to get into the bottom of the car. Wet smell was horrible. I took it in for detailing.

    I bought from stark bucks the traveler coffee for 12 cups ... they did not close the lids the cream properly. It fell all over my floors . I had no time to really clean as I had an all day conference. It was over 100 F that day so it smelled soooo bad . I had to get it shampooed out

    How do you clean stains on cloth upholstery? My seats have a waffle-like spongy texture so I can't just wipe off the stains like I would with leather seats. Any advice?
