One tip I heard on another cleaning channel and I thought was brilliant…… she lays pieces of wax paper on top of the kitchen cabinets so there is no greasy dusty build up, she just picks up the wax paper, gives things a wipe and puts new wax paper down….cheap and saves so much cleaning time and products !
Blessings
Brilliant!!!
I do that as well
I pull it my appliances twice a year
I put newspaper on top of cabinets. What ever you use, it works well.
Do you ladies mean on top of the cabinets?? Where nothing gets put?? Thanks.
Great Job, Ladies! New sub here. I've always deep cleaned my apartments when I moved out. My landlords were amazed and I've been told that "No one does that." I also deep clean apartments before I move my things into it. Like others have said in the comments, you should treat and care for things that aren't yours better than you treat and care for your own things. Guess it's just the way we were raised, with respect for others and their things?
I was living in a duplex before i bought my house. I did a deep clean before I moved out and the landlord told me that it was the cleanest move-out he's ever seen! Made me proud. Actually, I lived there for 10 yrs and ALWAYS kept duplex clean from get go anyway, so didn't have to do that much in the first place.
Ive actually gotten letters of recommendation from landlords who liked how well we maintained our leased property. That was cool.
Same here. It always surprises me that people don't clean the way I was taught. Deep clean 2X/year, and maintain the rest of the time. The seasonal deep cleans are so quick when cleaning maintainence is done.
I was raised like that as well. My landlord loved me because I was always super clean and left the rentals I lived in deep cleaned. Might also helped that I had worked in residential cleaning as well so I know a few tricks.
@@rebeccatrono3376 I do this, too. So much easier and deep cleans on season isn't so overwhelming. Goes fast and easy!
You actually clean the top of the cabinets! My landlord hired cleaners to do a move-in clean after the last tenant left it dirty. The place needed a deep clean and they just did a basic maintenance clean. The kitchen needed so much work, I did a MUCH better job myself after they left! Love to see you giving so much love to these new tenants.
Same. I can't believe the messes I have seen after a "clean"!
My dishwasher was full of MOLD!! After we had to wait an extra week to move in because they had to “clean” the apartment
Same with my rental home when I moved in! Luckily I have an amazing landlord and he fired that cleaning company. My stove was nasty, top of the cabinets super greasy and smelly, and even inside the fridge and freezer were unusable! My backyard had dog poop all over and the grout between my tiles on the floor were black.
I hired a bond cleaner when I moved out of one of my houses, went in afterwards to check their work and the floor still had smears on it. Real estate didn’t care because they had a receipt to show it was professionally cleaned.. lol. If I had done the clean myself I bet they would’ve picked on it.
@@KJxxoo That’s a excellent tip for renters. I know so many people who’ve been scammed out of part of their deposit for this reason.
I've told people over and over that clean has no odor. I am so glad to hear you say that too. Fragrances don't get rid of odors, they just add to the odor.. I hate artificial fragrances (they make me nauseated and headachy) so I always use fragrance free detergent, cleaning products, etc.y
I have a cleaning business, we use no scented most of the time, the only scented products I use are citrus, lemon and orange
People mistake reodorization for deodorization.
Yes! Fragrances make me enausiated and even give me headaches sometimes. Even people's perfumes make me feel sick.
I use baking soda in a bowl with a few drops of essential oil. Just leave it out for 12-24 hrs. A tip I got from my mom (who was a housekeeper for 40 yrs) was to cut an onion in 1/2 & place where needed. Onions absorb odor, then toss. Bonus tip...if your rice burned a little, toss a 1/2 onion in it so your rice doesn't have that burned smell/taste. Hispanic moms are the 💣 Love your content!
I'm going to try this🙂
@@jennifermc1221 🤗
I’ll try this! 😊
Wow! Thanks!
@Jenifer Kidd You're very welcome Jennifer.😊
My slumlord and his “cleaners” should watch this. They lie and say they did a deep clean between tenants when really they do nothing. 🤮 Love your channel ❤
Yes I believe this 100 percent. I use to work for a rental company with a lot of apartments and I agree they do not clean very well.
Sounds like my old apartment. Instead of cleaning the walls they just painted over the grease, dust and cobwebs. They didn't even bother cleaning the top of the medicine cabinet in the bathroom and painted over the rust on the old 1970s Hotpoint stove instead of replacing it.
@@Princessmom9 yeah that and so many more horrors 😫. Glad I know how to clean as well as I do. My unit probably hasn’t been this clean in 50 years.
Yap, so much out there about "dirty tenants" when landlords set the tone by NOT offering a clean unit to start with & then doing very little maintenance/upgrades.
Exactly, and then when you move out they charge you to clean it! I take photos every time I move in or out and definitely email them right away with the list of flaws you find. Then there’s a paper trail. My current landlord does bi-yearly inspections and I use it as my time to deep clean. Behind the stove, fridge, etc.. Like my mom use to say, limpia hasta donde no ve la suegra. I know, I butchered that saying. Please correct me if you know the right one.😂
I literally spent a whole week doing move out cleanings and you clean just like I do! Its really hard work and I'm a solo cleaner so it takes me a whole day. Then people want me to give them discounts, hell no!
I can't imagine leaving a home in that state. I'm so sorry you had to deal with that. I never considered myself to be a clean-freak, but I must be. I have a check list of cleaning tasks that need to be done weekly, monthly, or twice a year. The list is broken into 15-30 minute tasks. Each day, I pick two tasks. Once in a great while, I'll need to spend more than an hour (never more than two) cleaning. Most days, it's not over 45 minutes. By the end of each task's timeline, it's done. I used to do a spring and a fall deep clean, but I always dreaded them. The task list method helps me keep my house clean without being overwhelmed.
You may need to share your cleaning list! It sounds like you e got a great system in place.
Like Heidi, I would like to see your list!
Me also!!! Please share
Please share🙌
Yes. Please share your list. I'm no longer able to stand for more than a half hour. And would love to see how you've broken down your tasks.
my father was in the military and when you cleaned a house to move out it was inspected by a military inspector. WOW, I was a young teen but learned a ton.
I can imagine!!! I bet your so thankful to have all of that knowledge 🙃
I remember that! The White glove test!
Yep! "Fond" memories! 😂😂😂
The upside is when we moved into a military housing unit, IT WAS CLEAN! 🫠🙃
Your narration is top notch because you share little stories along the way, and not just narrating what we see on screen. The anecdotes and extras are really entertaining. Keeps me watching longer and not scrubbing fast forward. Lol. Great video and storytelling!
This is wonderful! :) Cleaning between tenants should be required by law. [and wall-to-wall carpet in rentals should be outlawed!]
Yes!!! I cannot STAND wall-to-wall carpeting! Ugh
Agree. Carpeting in rentals is vile
hi everyone 🙂 i usually try to not express my personal decorating opinions but i was just so happy to see a landlord clean between apartments so well that i threw my opinion about carpets out there; i guess because of my experience having lived in a rental with carpeting [a gross story that could have been prevented]. i know some people do like wall to wall carpeting; and it does often look nice, but i just don't like them at all for a host of reasons [mostly because of dirt/germs]. But i do know too that for some elderly people, wall to wall carpeting is a safety option for them. So anyways, i hope i didn't hurt anyone's feelings; happy decorating and cleaning everyone. 🙂 God bless everyone.
@@kc-wk1kz very good point - my parents are elderly and Mom recently fell in her bedroom by slipping on a sock beside her bed - of all things! Their floors are tiled (it's Florida and cooler). She also slipped on liquid from a 2-liter bottle that onto a tiled floor in the kitchen (well, the flooring can't be helped there, but spills can be tricky).
Part of the reason for the carpeting could be to help absorb noise in multi-unit buildings.
Re: smell. From post-move out tenant cleaning experience, I think the smell you encountered may have been from maggots. I once cleaned a house with a fly problem where the smell wouldn’t go away no matter how clean all surfaces were. Turned out, there were maggots behind the baseboards. Once we removed all the baseboards and cleaned underneath, the smell finally disappeared.
That's horrifying! O_O
must have been from something back there swept or spilled that they were eating, they have to have a food source! to be there.
I hope you received $10,000 for that clean🤯
Ugh that is vile
We were a career military family and moved often. My Mom always used Tide powder to clean our on base houses. I still use it to this day. It cuts grease and grim and smells good.❤
Hey Sonya. Military family too. We're moving soon as well. 4 bedroom house and I'm imagining all I have to do beforehand. I will try the tide powder. Thanks a bunch!
You may think Tide Powder cleans really well, but you're just leaving residue on the surfaces you clean. Laundry detergent in any form is supposed to be fully rinsed with lots of water. There are also brighteners inside of Tide Powder that aren't good to have direct skin contact. But to each their own 🤷♀️
@@priscillanieto3322 Thank you for the heads up. Will take that into consideration.
Cleaning Vinegar in a spray bottle works great and is inexpensive.
For greasy clean-up, a couple of drops of Blue Dawn dish detergent works great! (Dawn & Cleaning Vineger in a spray bottle works fantastic as spot treatments for laundry.)
When I was with a cleaning company I preferred move in/move out cleans. There’s was nothing in our way and we got to do a thorough job of it. We worked as a team of 4 (kitchen, bathrooms, dusting, vacuuming) and when one was done they helped another. My favorite days lol
You are amazing. People should clean before they move out, but some people don’t know how to clean🙄
Yes I agree on both things. Some will say that they cleaned but they really didn’t or they cleaned to their expectations. I have come to learn and understand that cleanliness is VERY SUBJECTIVE. What is clean to one person may not necessarily be clean to another.
I moved in a place, the landlord Sid the bathtub and shower couldn’t be cleaned, that he would replace them. A full bottle of spray cleaner later, I got both back to like new. Landlord was grateful!
Some even stop cleaning before leaving as they know they will be charged for the cleaning anyway. Sometimes for like a year before vacating.
@@evelynsaungikar3553 People don't know how many things can be saved and restored by just a good scrubbing and lots of elbow grease.
I was one of those people who did not know how to clean and it would take forever to get it all done, so I hired a housekeeper and I would get her to show me how and what to use. She was great! She showed me what products were best for the different jobs and to use a cheap sponge mop to clean the tubs and surrounds and the walls...the best was having 7 or 8 laundry baskets and put one in each room and while cleaning a room..put anything that did not go in that room in the basket. then after all the rooms were clean, then deliver all the stuff to the rooms where it belonged. Now that I am old and in a wheelchair, I can still do most of the cleaning.
My landlords NEVER had to clean my apartments when I moved out. I was taught that you take better care of "borrowed" goods than you do your own and leave it cleaner than when you got it. The thought of leaving my dirt behind for someone else to clean is unacceptable. My landlords loved me. Fast forward to age 69 with progressive osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia. I need help cleaning but can't bear the thought of someone else doing it. My hubby just doesn't have the same standards I have so I try to do things myself and spend 2 days to a week recovering. Anyhow, the landlord occupation is not for me because people just don't care like they used to...
I moved into a apartment with badly stained carpet so we cleaned it. The landlord went bankrupt and they were going to keep my deposit but I told them what we had done and our apartment was the only clean one so I got all my deposit back after that discussion with the new owners.
They don't care and some never lifted a broom in their lives.
It’s not borrowed if I’m paying for it. I keep it clean anyways, but still
I read a story once about ladies who cleaned with Lysol. They prided themselves on the fact that if someone came to their house they could smell Lysol because it indicates their house was clean. For myself, I got cancer at the age of 46, I began researching cleaning products that have cancer causing chemicals. I was shocked. Bleach for instance is so incredibly toxic. If used properly it’s not so bad, but we tend to overuse it. I also became extremely sensitive to scents. So I must be very careful of anything that has artificial scents added.
I admire how deeply you clean this place, I must tell you I do not believe I’ve ever moved into a very clean place like this. I always found something needing to be cleaned.
Lysol can throw me into an asthma attack😩
@@femalephobia I put Lysol on the “ stool mop”,& clean my bathroom stools. It is a good disinfectant, but, use a small amount, as it is very strong.
I always used Lysol to clean my kitchen countertops but my new house has quartz countertops so I’ve had to switch to a special stone cleaner to avoid damage to the surface.
🎉I really enjoy when u talk in the video and not go so fast at times explain more what ur doing, products ur using and more info of what we should be doing. Love ur video❤
I cleaned a rental that was full of flies. The reason was they didnt take out the trash and flies had laid eggs in some chicken scraps in the trash. The eggs hatched and the maggots had crawled out the trash over the floor into and under every thing in the kitchen where they had hatched into flies which were all trapped in the house. It was gross. You guys are the best!
😩🤢 such a simple task that could’ve avoided all that
It's so gross how people don't take out their trash!
That's why we pay for our tenants trash service! Also, we change the furnace filters quarterly. Tenants just won't do it. Gives us a chance to look around and address any issues with the tenant.
So disgusting
I have encountered the same. Move out clean, could not get the smell out even after steam cleaning the carpets. Their electricity had gotten cut off and the pan under the fridge was full of disgusting stuff. Maintenance man problem. They replaced the fridge
Be careful when cleaning the knobs from the stove. One cleaner removed some of the indicator markings for the oven. You then have to guess where the temperature marking is that you want.
God bless you. This is probably a more thorough clean than I’d do in my actually home…. Just because I wouldn’t even know to do all of this! This is a next level cleaning service!
Last time I moved I cleaned, and cleaned...it took me several days, though. I don't have this level of energy anymore, but the place was definitely clean.
Cleaning plastic blinds: take them down, put in bathtub or shower, spray with Awesome, rinse with water, turn over and repeat. If large dirt particles, use soft brush. Hang up or lay outside(or on a towel on kitchen floor) for a couple hours. They do not have to be fully dry to hang back up.
I have learned to haaate blinds in the window, sooo much easier to take down curtains and launder them!
Yes 🙃🙃
Growing up we put them in cold water and soapy water in the tub. It worked perfectly.
I love your cleaning style. I need separate videos on each section of the home with a breakdown on the steps for deep cleaning those areas.
Thank you so much for taking great care and showing consideration to the next tenants moving in. You don't know them, their situation or circumstances but you treated them with kindness and respect by cleaning so thoroughly. If everyone showed the same type of humanity and decency this world would be a better place 👍🏾 Thanks for all your efforts! You never know the impact you've had on the people who have used the places you cleaned! 💖
You do such a thorough and beautiful job with your cleaning! I am exactly the same way. I was taught that if you are going to do something, do it well and not half way. That is such an adorable place too, so well maintained and beautifully kept. ✌️💕
Years ago I moved into a, "clean it yourself house and you don't have to pay the security deposit" 😁
The kitchen walls were so dirty and greasy they were brown. That's the 1st time I used "Grease Lightning" and witnessed the most powerful grease cutter ever! The grease on the walls just melted off it was the craziest thing to see. Also used it on the windows that were so brown and filmy from cigarette smoke and obvious years of not cleaning and same thing happened, it just melted away 😁
you can get pretty good results with Kurd Kutter too with nasty stuff like grease.
Or Mean Green. Like you I like to watch the grease melting off things! LOL
Your voice is so calming and your laugh is wonderful and welcoming. Loved this!
Ty for the video I got tenants out my house and I want to cry it's so dirty they damaged so much stuff it's crazy that people will tear your stuff up and just leaving without a care in the world
Great job cleaning ladies! I just finished last week cleaning my kitchen the same way. My husband pulls my fridge out so I can clean behind, underneath and on top of it. The same for the stove, oven and lift the top and clean under the top. Washed all the cabinets and baseboards. Anything and everything gets cleaned, it's such a good feeling.
I have the utmost respect for cleaners 👏👏👏👏
The pink stuff paste and their scrubby sponges are a miracle for old grease. It actually removed the dry greasy layer on old tupperware that hadn't been cleaned properly. Tried it on the cabinets for the same greasy buildup. Love that stuff!
Open a bag of new charcoal briquettes, spread onto opened bag they came in and leave out for 2 - 3 days to absorb any bad odor. Discard briquettes afterwards.
I read this tip years ago and used this method once to absorb odor in my car trunk left from a gallon of milk with a loose cap which spilled into my trunk carpet on a grocery haul.
I had meat in a deep freezer and had my guests stopped paying the electric bill and it was nasty but I cleaned it and put charcoal in it until it was normal again.
I use to deep clean rental properties and it is a lot of work when you ACTUALLY clean the entire environment! I always start from the top, and work my way down. The most difficult part for me was bidding on jobs because there was almost always more than expected on the surface. I always took things apart as far as I could to get to the deepest parts. Like ovens, at 19:02 that bottom looks like it comes out. You can clean it easier and then clean underneath that where the oven cleaner and other crumbs and juices) drips through! I would also run the oven at 350 for about a half an hour to “bake-out” the oven cleaner smell, and any cleaner/debris I missed would be easier to see for a final touch up as well. Do you do that as well?
So awesome to see a like-minded deep-cleaner who puts in the effort like you do!
i thought the same thing -- kept waiting for her to take the upper part of the stove off, it obviously comes off. So much falls under there from around the burners.
The amount of love and care you put into cleaning i am in awe!!! This is serious motivation for me to clean my new home before moving in! I really hope your new tenants appreciate!!!! Coming from my moms now i am seeing we never did this type of clean at her place we only did deep cleaning for spring but not a move in clean
You did a great job! Oh how I wish you had cleaned even one place I moved to in over 50 years..I’d leave a place spotless and move in to a dump..wish there were more people like you!
Fair play to you, you are a real hard worker and you do a great job. Well done 👏
Thank you 🤗🤗
I was really hoping to see how you clean the bathrooms.
I am so happy I don't have to deal with tenants anymore, most of them just don't care about your property, and they live like pigs!! I felt for you while watching this video, I've been there, killing myself, scrubbing and cleaning filth left behind by tenants. BTW, In my home I move, and clean behind my appliances three times a year. You did a great job 🙂.
I wish my landlords had hired real professionals like you. All the landlords I've had hire cleaners who claim to be professional but will only clean just enough to make it LOOK clean. Every time I move into a new rental, there are cobwebs everywhere, grimy window sills and frames, grimy floors, carpet coated in pounds of dust. And the bath tubs are their own horrors.
It makes moving in so much more stressful than needed because I have to deep clean the new place while packing up and moving out the old place.
I worked for Airbnb and they hired cheap cleaners because they didn't want to pay for high quality work. But every time a customer checked in day or night and it didn't meet their standards they would request if I go back to reclean it since there other cleaners didn't detail clean it properly. I had to clean from top to bottom. But I stopped working with them when they kept trying to avoid paying me the two pay periods. Sometimes apartments pay for the cheapest cleaners that have very little experience
@@Clean-N-ShineInDfw Yeah the first time I stayed at an airbnb I was confused by the mandatory 50$ cleaning fee because the cleaner literally just came into the house, sprayed the hand rail of the staircase with Windex and wiped once, then walked out. $50 just for that.
Wow that's definitely not a good job. Everything has to be done within 2-3hours before the next guest arrives. Sheets and towels need to done as well as fridge,dishes and oven in every cleaning. I'm Sorry you had a bad experience with someone not professional
In the army, my son told me that he would wear a headlamp around his neck & put it on his head when the sun went down. That may be handy for you when trying to see the dirt in dark places, like on top of the ceiling fans.
This is so helpful. Seeing the clothes and different techniques, even the putty knife and products. Thank you
When moving furniture on a rug torn rug face down rubber side up, makes moving heavy things so much easier. I put parchment paper on top of my kitchen cabinets and every time I do heavy cleaning I toss and put down clean paper. No having to wash down top of cabinets just a clean wipe.
I agree but sometimes tenants take it off and put stuff on top. 😫🙃
I wish our cleaning lady was as thorough as you! 😮
This was a very deep clean much more expensive than a weekly maintenance
Just friendly suggestions for the smell issue. Maybe the water pipes are holding smells. Maybe Install new furnace filters. Sometimes the refrigerator coils hold dust and debris, be careful not to bend coils when cleaning. We move our appliances twice a year or as needed to clean. Love your video!
I clean behind my stove and fridge 3 times a year. Spring cleaning, winter cleaning, and summer cleaning
Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I had no idea this is what is done during a deep clean. Now I will always use the deep clean whenever a tenant moves out. I should have hired YOU before I moved into my (new to me) home!
I like it when you talk throughout the whole video! I love hearing what you have to say about your experiences, what you've learned, products you use (thank you for that!) and also the psychology behind it all.
I tip I recently learned was to use a hairdryer to loosen the grease in a kitchen cleanup. I thought that was brilliant!!!
That is brilliant and makes so much sense. Because if you look at the directions of easy off it works faster if you heat up the oven then turn off to spray the product 🤗
Move out cleaning is hard. Never knew till I worked for a company! Walls, floors, fans, windows. It takes 4-13 hours for studios to 3 bedroom!
Can you share the checklists that you use for both deep cleanings & regular basic cleanings?
This is a DEEP cleaning
A cleaning person is doing a maintenance clean. If you want them to do more, ask them and then pay them accordingly.
Start from the top and work your way down.
I’d also love this!
Gee, I wish my apartment complex management provided such a service for move-ins.
I always thought that it should be mandatory to hire people to clean, if not have a staff to do so.
I think I will add this to my list of suggestions for my city. Thanks for your integrity, responsibility, and diligence!
I rented a 3-bedroom 2-bath mobile home for two years and I did such a deep clean when I moved out the landlord's were extremely surprised because they've never had anybody clean the way I did , told me when most tenants move out that usually replace carpets and everything else but with me they didn't have to do that. They gave me back my deposit within a week with a letter of thank you for keeping the house so clean. And I didn't have to clean the dishwasher because I hate using a dishwasher I think dishwashers are nasty so when I moved out the paperwork was still in the new dishwasher
Oh, girl. I sometimes work with my sister for her business in deep clean/move out cleans, and I could watch it allllllll day. Keep doing what you do! I'm subscribing!
You did an Excellent Job!!! Thank You for sharing. " You Are Appreciated"!
Thank you 🤗🤗🤗so sweet!
Very inspirational. I like a clean house, but I hate cleaning with a passion. I have to just grit my teeth and force myself to clean. I get no enjoyment out of it. I'll watch your videos to help me get out of the frigging chair and go clean! Thanks!
Appreciate how real this is!
Yes I absolutely move my appliances at least 2 times a year. It's a must in my household. Great video!
Thank you 🙂
Great job! I’m very particular about things being/staying clean. I came from a long line of deep cleaners!😂. My mom and grandmother ironed sheets, underwear, and occasionally - towels. And they cleaned everything in the house the way you clean!!
You are amazing. That was awful the way tenant's left that home. I just found this channel. Love it.
At least the fridge wasn’t completely full and disgusting!
This house is spotless compared to some of the eviction tenants I've seen. bullet holes through walls garbage everywhere mattresses on the floor feces everywhere. people are absolutely fucking disgusting
NIce job! I'm dealing with a move out situation as well. I was going to do it myself, but it was quickly apparent that the task was bigger than I could handle alone. Even the cleaner wasn't able to get everything, like the places where candle wax is now a part of the bedroom carpet, and she was here six hours! I'm going to buy or borrow an iron and try that. I'm more bothered by the things that are broken or have gone missing. It makes me sad, because I'd never treat someone else's space and things like that.
Use ice cubes
That is the pain of renting out places these days. No respect at all.
This video was fabulous!!! I moved into an apartment last year while prepping for a divorce. It was not nice out clean when I moved in and there was a lot for me to do!
I have been so ready for a deep spring cleaning right now! Now I have some great tips and cleaners to try!! Thank you!!
Incredible. Once in my life, I want to leave in a place this clean and beautiful.
Amazing job...folks can learn alot from your clean techniques 😊
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Y’all deserve an award 4 such an Awesome Job!!! TFS, Rest n Relax but Take Care!!!🙏🏼💜🙏🏼💚
Ahhh 🤗🤗🤗 thank you
One of my landlords asked me whether I cleaned houses for a living. She wanted to hire me to clean some of her other properties. I told her that I learned to clean from my Mom, and she always stressed that I must leave rental properties in top-notch shape before turning in my keys.
Love your videos and all the information you share. Cleaning something really well is so satisfying. I have learned so much from you!
It also could have been the drip pan of the fridge. It only takes one fly to lay at a minimum of 50 eggs. I've seen worse than that. Enjoyed this video. DISAGREE about the clean scent - to me, bleach smells clean. That's clean.
Always great to watch a pro at work.
Thank you 😊
Hi, this is my first time watching one of your videos 😊 My name is Kayla from Indiana. Thank you for the motivation ❤️ Also, your hair is so beautiful 💗 I’m excited to be a part of the community on your channel!
Thank you so much for for being here!! 🤗🤗 so glad you found my page and will continue to try and motivate as much as I can.
I haven't watched any cleaning v ideos but interestingly this popped up on my feed a week after I discovered my former brother-in-law hermit dead in his house... (I'm the only family he had left that EVER visited / checked on him since my ex died) ... and it smelled horrible when I found him.
I was told by a retired firefighter to put white vinegar in plastic or glass bowls all over the house and change it out every few days to rid my BIL's house of the dead smell. I haven't done any cleaning yet, but the vinegar has helped, so I can get in there to start cleaning... I think I will try this Zep when I start cleaning.
I KNOW this is totally off subject for this video - BUT MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A WILL IN PLACE and it is current - even if it is totally hand written AND signed/dated (you don't have to have an attorney create one for you).
When you bring home a frozen chicken or turkey put it in a pan to thaw out. The packaging always leaks and I had a turkey thawing that ended up with blood going down the fridge, into the drain hole below and underneath the fridge itself. What a mess and awful smell. Stale water in a window AC unit will also draw flies like the dickens. You did a wonderful job here, I'd hire you in a flat minute for twice whatever you're being paid now!
There is no way I would ever leave a property in filth smh. I lived in my home for 17 years. We sold it a year ago. At settlement the realtor of the family purchasing my house asked who did you hire to clean the house it was spotless. I told her I cleaned the house and she was shocked. She said most people never do that type of cleaning. The family was appreciative. I don't play that filth.
Furniture hides everything . As a cleaning business owner of 30 years, I approve this message! You did an amazing job. I always wonder why people can allow dust sitting in vents that are at eye level . How do they sit there and just let the dust grow. However, it's a business for everyone. Some people just hate to maintain their home. I've seen so much it doesn't shock me anymore. I've had to remove old food stuck to the fridge , including cat hair in the fridge. Have you gotten the blood off the toilet seats and floors? I've had a dead body in a house but didn't know and I didn't go in, because the home hadn't been renovated yet. You explained what you do very well. I enjoyed watching !
New subscriber here from New Zealand. I'm amazed by your upbeat attitude to cleaning your mom's unit. It's a lovely unit and they did not treat it well but you are really upbeat and that's refreshing! I love the way you clean, you clean like me and it's so satisfying to watch! In NZ we pay two weeks rent in advance when we rent a place. When we leave, if it's not perfectly clean, including ceiling and walls, then we don't get our initial two weeks rent. It's a lot of money so generally people clean and clean and clean to make sure they get their money back. We even hire a carpet cleaner if there's carpet and waterblast the outside of the house. It's a really big deal, I can't imagine just walking out leaving a place looking like that!
I noticed you used a brush from a dust pan and brush set to clean the side of the cooker. Can you please explain why you used this rather then a sponge or cloth?
Personally I move my cooker & fridge out every week when I clean my floors but that’s only because I have two JRT (Jack Russell Terriers) who love to play with they biscuits and the go everywhere! However, as much as I would love to move the washing machine out to clean behind and underneath it, it’s such a tight fit and so heavy I physically can’t move it and I don’t have anyone to move it for me, so I’ve improvised and put a guard up at the bottom so nothing can go underneath it!
Thank you for showing us how you do a “move out” clean, it was great to watch! 🥰🥰
There is a long round brush that you clean under refrigerators and you can use that under the washer and dryer to keep the trash from collecting. There is also a flat microfiber pad that is for tight places you can slide between many tight spots.
I enjoyed your presentation of the cleaning. As a professonal cleaner myself, I found that when I was hired to clean an appartment between tenants, I was only paid at most $45. I could have never cleaned like you did even though I wanted to.I only tried that type of cleaning twice. Early on I was introduced to an all most all purpose cleaner. "Fast Orange hand cleaner". Even on new construction of luxury homes, I have used it on mirrors, marble. tile and any other construction dried on sloopy stuff that was left behind, without a scratch. Leaving it on dirty ovens ( think BBQ pits)😅and stove tops over night if you can, otherwise, put on liberally first thing before anything else and then clean last. Optionally, you can put plastic wrap over it keep it wet.
This is a PS to my last coment. When I personally moved out of the places we had to rent (military), we always left them better then when we moved in. The last place we left, I cleaned the whole place with Fast Orange and my land lady was very impressed.
Oh my goodness…. I would have loved to move into such a clean unit! I never had such a clean apartment to move into
Why would someone leave it so dirty? 😭 I'm so glad you were able to clean this up
Love your video, keep commenting as you go it is very motivating. Great job.
One time I told my cleaning lady that she had to clean the corners, too. She said “which corners?” and I said all of them! The corners of everything were filthy, floors, cabinets, appliances you name it. Some cleaning people don’t do much more than spray cleaning products here and there.
That is because they never received proper training and they are self proclaimed professional cleaners.
Unfortunately this is true!!!! I go above and beyond even do little extras like cleaning the coffee machine parts. That’s why it bothers me when people try and haggle with price.
You are amazingly thorough. I enjoyed watching
AWESOME VIDEO!!! I like the idea of wax paper on top of the cabinets. I pretty much clean like this and I was trying to figure out the best cleaner to use on my wooden kitchen cabinets and lo and behold, I already have some Dawn Powerwash. Can’t wait to get started on my kitchen. I clean out my refrigerator (shelves and drawers, all of it) several times a year. I hate a messy refrigerator. We also take our refrigerator out twice a year and the stove once a year to clean under it. But it is only my husband and I who live here, and a short haired senior Chihuahua so under those appliances, it isn’t too bad. Thank you for a great video! Be safe and take care. ❤
This!!!! It all depends on everyone’s living arrangements that can depend on how often it should be done. ☺️☺️
Wow, what a great video! You know where all the dirt is, and get all of it! I wish you could come and help me get my house good clean! I used to keep a very clean and organized house, but 10 years ago, I became disabled. I can't do the housework I used to do. I'm physically incapable of it. I loved working to make it sparkle... and now I have to look at dust bunnies! I love seeing how thorough you are!😊
No LIes Here: When I was a tenant, out of respect for my parents' teaching of ownership and out of gratefulness to my landlord, I made sure that my move-out clean would leave the place to be cleaner than when I moved in. I had two landlords GIVE me not only my security deposit, but the money they would have paid for a professional cleaner. Fast forward to 2023, I"m a landlord and I truly attribute having passive income from rental property stems from me being a good steward over any property I was given the favor to dwell in.
Beautiful work! Thank you for posting details, actual supplies & how to use them.
For cleaning the microwave you should use a glass bowl put two cups of water and two tablespoons of either white vinegar or lemon juice. Microwave on high for five minutes. Let it sit for about 10 to 15 minutes to cool. Then carefully remove glass bowl and glass turn table. Clean with damp cloth starting inside top, sides and bottom. The steam usually softens any stuck on food. Plus you can be cleaning something else while it’s steaming up.
This was so helpful, thank you! I liked your commentary, too. Thank you for listing the products you used.
I would recommend being more careful with those heavy duty cleaners like she used on the stove etc because they can spot and discolor some floor finishes! so always remember to slide newspaper under the edges of the stove or fridge etc BEFORE spraying to catch the drips and stuff! if no newspaper then use paper towels or even a plastic garbage bag.
I would charge the tenants for the deep clean!! You guys are awesome!!
For blind cleaning I just take them down and soak them in the bathtub then clean then I hang them to dry in my garage. I do this once or twice a yea4 so it’s not bad.
I have wooden blinds so that will not work. But when I have plastic blinds
@@shirleyprestage5402 Wooden have to be cleaned by hand with rags.
Loved this video! 🤍💗 Thanks!
Many years ago I moved into a horrible house. The linoleum floor was so dirty that I didn't realize it had a pattern until I started scrubbing. When I left, the floor was clean and I had installed pale yellow vinyl wallpaper in the kitchen and hall. I've never used Zep. Thanks for your video.
Your mom's tenants are very lucky to have such a caring landlord.
Lol. I move my kitchen appliances at least 4/5 times a year. I don’t know how you can clean other people’s spaces. God bless you girl. ❤
It’s hard work but I enjoy it 🙃😊
Omg the flies I was shocked at how many dead flies there was lol. You and your mom are a power team. Just goes to show women can do anything a man can do. I would love to see more longer videos like this.
Imagine that but with roaches instead of flies. Yep! It happens.
My friend don’t bring men into this lol. They have it tough as it is figuring us women out😂. Should they open a door or will they get yelled at.
Flies are nothing to be disgusted by.
Your tenants are lucky that you do such a thorough job. Wish you lived near me!
I wish you lived near me. I'm moving out soon too! Your awesome and very thorough. Thanks for the video and tips too.
Have you seen the ceramic scraper that looks like the one that holds the razor? It’s great and it doesn’t scratch whatever you’re using it on.
The cleaning you have done is amazing. In Australia, we have to clean the rental before we leave. It is documented when we move in and when we move out with the real estate agent. We also have to provide our own appliances - fridge.
I would prefer to supply my own appliances -- soo tired of paying for appliances that don't work well. Owners tend to get the cheapest model on the market, or they get used appliances so the tenant has to deal with problems that caused the earlier owner to replace it.
