According to the WHO, 16% of the world's population is disabled 1.3 Billion people!) that is 1 in 6 of us. It's a massive minority and one that anyone can join in just a second, which is why it's so important for everything to be designed/implemented from an accessible standpoint. It is SO MUCH MORE expensive to retrofit a place to be accessible than to just build it that way in the first place! As well as acquiring a disability at some point in life, just think about "temporary disability" like breaking a bone, SO MANY people live alone or just don't have the support of someone who can be there 24/7 for an extended period of time. Melissa's 2 videos give a teeny tiny glimpse of just one small aspect of living with a disability/restriction is like. If you have a broken arm/leg etc and experience a temporary period of disability and how hard just that small change makes life so much more difficult, please continue to be open minded about how other people with significantly more disabling conditions live, often on such inhuman budgets due to being unable to work, yet having a disability causes day to day expenses in excess of the norm! So many countries worldwide will be voting this year, no matter where you live or your political affiliation, please consider how, who you are planning on voting for treats people with disabilities, that minority who you could join at any moment and with 1 in 6 people affected - people who you know and love. You learn a lot about a society by how it treats the most vulnerable, it may not affect you right now but it most likely will at some point in the future

90% of people have or will be disabled for at least 6mo in their lifetime and it's much higher for those that reach retirement age. Also the rate of currently disabled people in the US was 25% pre COVID! Also, on the political side I heard something that kinda blew my mind: all oppression is rooted in ablism. It's always the idea that X people can't be treated equally because they are "deficient" in some way. Women are weak, African Americans are stupid (used to be a medical term for the mentally disabled btw) even the idea Asians are smart. It's always about how capable they are or aren't. If we are to end discrimination in all it's forms, teaching the idea that disabled people are just as valuable and capable of independence as everyone else is the fastest, most effective and, in the end, the only way to do so. Imho a good place to start is to live up to the idea behind the ada and create a built environment that is actually fully accessible for everyone! (Ex the handicapped parking at my local playground doesn't connect to anything and doesn't even have a curb cut! Meanwhile I can't get there via the sidewalk or street because both get blocked with parked cars, many trucks & SUVs with hoods taller than I am when standing up!) Ty for reading my little rant. Please seek out disabled creators here and on other online and IRL spaces. 💜🥄💜

Thank you so so much for this very informative and kind comment. That’s what these people in power don’t understand, they too can become disabled at any moment or someone they love and money doesn’t fix everything. In 2016 the CDC went behind our backs and made guidelines that the DEA took it as a law and it’s not (they’re guidelines), they revised them but it hasn’t helped us in the chronic pain community much. We live in excruciating pain 24/7 and we basically have the DEA, CDC etc…in our doctor’s office. I lost my brother due to him being taken off his much needed pain medication cold turkey. We have a fentanyl crisis in America, not an Opioid Crisis. Look at the statistics. Now we have our veterans k*lling themselves bc they can’t take the pain, we lose people in the chronic pain community to suicide all the time and it’s heartbreaking. Some people can live without medication, but some of us unfortunately cannot. Our doctors are being scared out of prescribing, bc some really good doctors went to prison. One doctor who was in his 70s, house got raided when he was out of the state at another doctor’s hearing as a character witness (I believe). Anyways this doctor treated some of the worst pain in the world like CRPS (chronic regional pain syndrome) and he just decided to retire…his name is Dr Forest Tennant (he did it with tears in his eyes). You can read his life’s work and what happened by just typing his name in Google. He was highly respected and still is. Again thank you so much for your comment 💜

I have an high functioning autistic son, he a germophobe and he has some need to always clean. This activity alleviates stress and anxiety somewhat, but when checking his work he notices the products don’t clean as the instructions say. When he asked me why companies would lie to us I responded by saying they didn’t know. After researching different places and platforms, I found both this channel an “Clean That Up.” Once I had told him about these sources he noticed that when he cleaned almost all of the (not even trying to act like I know what it is) stuff. I thank you so much for bringing a smile to his face again!

I use most of your tips and ideas already. I wish you were around 20 years ago so I wouldn’t have to discover these things alone. I hope everyone who is searching for solutions pay close attention. She is spot on.

I have gotten scrubbers that chuck in my drill. It is a *bit* heavy, but I spend a fraction of the time doing the job. I even used them on my car upholstery. How is the weight on your arm after using it for 15 minutes?

Last year I had to quit work and file for disability, it was a really hard decision to make and I felt so defeated. I won’t know for another 11 months if they approve my disability or not. It’s been really hard having no income and it’s taken a toll on me mentally. I used to clean to help with my anxiety, it made me feel good and seeing a clean house made me feel relaxed and accomplished. Last month, I completely broke down because I couldn’t do what I could previously. I know I have to accept my new normal, but it’s hard. I try to make things easier, but with no income coming in, I don’t think I’ll be able to buy anything new. However, I will try to implement these ideas with what I have and hope things get better. Praying for all those who are dealing with any type of hardship!

I have seen a lot of KZread channels that have taught me how to make stuff out of packaging. I no longer feel a strong desire to get organizers or containers.

This is physical therapist approved video! Great tips for those with limited mobility and for the elderly. Now you empower them with the tools they need to keep their homes clean. Thank you for making this video! God bless you.

Love your videos and these ideas. Having had a father who had ALS whose life and mobility changed dramatically, I know this information is important for so many.

I’ll be 74 in September. I don’t know what happened, but it just seemed like one day I woke up, and had limited mobility. I don’t give up easily, and I wanted to continue taking care of my house. So I just happened to be on You Tube and ran across this video, and I must say, this video has been a blessing and a lifesaver for me. As soon as I saw the video, I checked the amount of money that I had with my limited income against the bills that I owed. So I decided to go for it and purchase a rolling cart, a an extendable pole with different cleaning tools and another extended pole with different cleaning tools to clean the outside of a car, but I’m not gonna use it for car cleaning. My front porch is filthy with unbelievable dirt and cobwebs, and I can’t afford to get it cleaned all the time by someone else. The car cleaning kit with extendable pole is supposed to arrive tomorrow. I can hardly wait to get my front porch cleaned. The part that is so dirty is the ceiling and the top part on the side. It’s all painted white. Plus, I bought a magnet with an extended pole and a handheld thing that holds a one-sided razor. Now the glass top on my stove looks spotless. And also purchased a cordless electric spin scrubber for the kitchen sink and lavatories. What a timesaver! I just can’t thank you enough for all these suggestions. For months now, I have sat in my easy char watching TV and becoming more depressed with each day, because I couldn’t figure out how to clean a lot of areas in my house. You have just given me a new lease on life, and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Very good advice for seniors, or handicapped. As a senior, retired RN, I don't want to climb etc., always looking for space saving items, living minimally without clutter. Thank you for taking the time to address this. I also use a cordless hand drill w/ brush accessories to clean etc. Anything cordless and wheels is always my choice.

I love the electric spray bottle idea! That will help my arthritic hands! Thank you for the great ideas. 😁

Thank you for making this video, I just turned 37 and I have spondylethesis and pinched nerves they go down my legs and cause terrible pain pretty much all the time.

I have no suggestions, I just wanted to say thank you for this. I've had eight strokes and four grand mal seizures this year, and I am learning a lot of new things about what is required of me to sort of reclaim my life. This series has made me hopeful, and maybe I can reclaim a clean space that someone else doesn't have to provide for me. That's the thing I've struggled with the most - it's so hard to ask someone who has already helped you to help you with something that you have created yourself. Simply living in a space creates some mess, no matter how hard you try not to do that. Thank you for thinking to do this.

Love using a stool on casters, although mine has a height adjustable pneumatic seat so that I can raise or lower myself to manage seated cleaning of higher and lower surfaces. The laundry sorter is great,: but I suggest using two! One is for laundry, of course; but a second one is nice for refuse recyclables! Where I live I am required by community code to rinse and separate all plastic and metal packaging before tossing it. The bags are perfect to separate rinsed plastic bottles, glass jars, and cans into light weight and easily portable packages. Finally, I remove pet hair from carpet or furniture by attaching a pair of worn "latex" kitchen gloves to my Makers Mop by sliding them onto it, then dampening the rubber slightly with water and sweeping it over surfaces to collect the hair! Thanks, M, for so many great tips!

Absolutely love this! I've been on a journey since injuring my knee. A clean house is so important to me, but last year, I was left for 5 months awaiting a surgery unable to walk and had to depend on friends coming over to help clean as I was in a wheelchair. I now injured my other knee, but am still somewhat mobile, so this video comes in perfectly timed for me ❤️👍🏻

As a wheelchair user, your mop makes cleaning so much easier. I forgot about the "ghost" thing, though - thanks for the reminder on that! I also have an electric scrubber that I use to make cleaning the tub easier. I used to have that 3-piece laundry sorter but there's not enough room in the new condo, so I've swapped that out for a large hamper that is also on wheels. I use my grabber (which also has a handy magnet on the end of the handle) to get those things I can't reach at the bottom of the hamper. Life is so much easier with these tools.

My parents are independent and still live in their home. My 96-year-old mom always wants to help me as I do some of the cooking and cleaning. Thank you for doing the homework for me as I try to find tools that allow her to contribute to the best of her ability. My favs were the lightweight vacuum cleaner and the scrubber.

The grabber looks great. My husband has limited mobility and is home alone while I am at work. This would be a great tool for him.

Thinking of getting electric scrubber. Very much appreciate your cleaning for people with limited mobility issues.

That extendible electric scrubber sounds very useful but if it is heavy some people would have a problem lifting it. I love the cleaning ghost and that's what my mom called it!!

I love my Makers mop to clean my shower and bathtub. It saves my back from hurting my back and my knees that were injured in a car accident. Thank you Melissa and Chad!!!

I know it’s after the deadline, but I’ve dreamed of having a Dyson cordless stick vacuum!!! I have two pets. The shedding is miserable and totally unmanageable for me. I have shoulder issues and back problems. Vacuuming is so painful for me. Mopping is out of the question! I look at the vacuum and DREAM!!! If you have any future drawings, I would love to be entered into one for a vacuum. I appreciate you addressing this very real issue for many, many of us!

This is excellent! Due to motor vehicle accidents my body isn’t what is used to be - these methods are so useful to someone like me! 🙌

Thanks so much for recognizing those of us with chronic illness and mobility/endurance issues! I love my rotating scrubber. It allows me to complete my bathroom cleaning in one session where before I had to break the room in zones and do them at different times. And I have just realized the value of my reacher to remove laundry from the dryer. These tools keep me feeling functional and prolong my ability to care for my home independently. Thanks!❤️

This is great! I use a grabber you can orient the pincher part either sideways or vertical to make it easier to get stuff. I glued a magnet to the middle of the inside head so if I'm getting a can or something, it'll hold heavier without slipping! I also use a kids plastic chair (they've outgrown them) when cleaning the floors. If it rolled I think I wouldn't be able to push the brush I hold as much/as hard since I'd have my legs engaged to keep the cart still. I'm seriously considering the mop you showed. My arthritis, since I was little, hates the weather change but the house still gets dirty. Thank you for making this video! I currently have a mop bucket with a handle that I put all my cleaning stuff in. A rolling cart may help me keep track of my drink! 😂 Thank you💖

Hello Melissa and CMS Team 🤗, I’m so grateful for this series of videos, they came right on time for me. I am Disabled with chronic pain and limited mobility, multiple severe medical issues and I recently had a major fall. Back in Sept 2023. I currently have my third set of braces on both ankles, both knees and multiple injuries to my back, as well. I just started Physical Therapy for my back and core, this is week 4. It is so hard to do daily tasks I am so overwhelmed and don’t have any help. So I’m trying to do it myself and I am struggling physically and it’s exhausting at times. I have a cart on wheels in my bathroom for bathrooms cleaning supplies under my over the toilet rack nestled to the side next to my toilet. I keep my swifter wet jet in the bathroom behind the door w/swifter pads on cart. In my kitchen, I have some supplies under the sink. But I do have a small cleaning caddy too. But I can’t seem to find a better solution for them. I do have two fairly new vacuums a handheld an upright both for pets. ( even though I don’t own pets currently ). I get a tremendous amount of dust in my apartment. It’s hard to keep up with it all. Not sure what to do… From this video, I do like the idea of the creeper stool, the Maker broom and the spin scrubber w/ extensions. I have high walls and ceilings. *** Please make this a regular segment series of videos with this concept content on cleaning w/limited mobility. *** Thank you so much., Crystal from NYC 😊

Thank you for addressing needs for us with limited mobility. I helps keep us independent. I do have people who refuse to use aids around the house. Hope by sharing your content helps others.👏👏🤐

I like these videos. They are very helpful for my elderly mother. I like the tool with the brushes that help with getting into the corners of the shower. My mom would LOVE such a tool.

I am 24yo and my chronic pain has made it very very difficult to keep up with cleaning even tho I am not working right now. My mom has offered me an electric brush and I am excited to use it! I know this is a cleaning channel but you have done such an amazing job at research that I wonder if we could get a video on accessible kitchen tools. I always feel like cooking is one of these tasks that take me lots of energy but I love cooking. I wish it could be less demanding.

I had mentioned in your previous video that I love your Makers Mop. I have psoriatic arthritis and osteo arthritis and your mop is wonderful for floors, tub and shower cleaner, walls, ceilings. I got it when you first came out with it and have loved it since. Thank you for doing videos to help those with chronic conditions and special needs. 🤗💚💙💜

I also use the Maker's Microfiber cloths as well. My absolute go to for easy cleaning is the Synoshi spin scrubber. Fabulous tool. Keep up the great content!!!

One thing I forgot to suggest. It doesn’t pertain to cleaning with limited mobility, but for people of that age group. After my husband passed away and I had no one to remind me , I was afraid that one day when I was cooking, that I could easily forget and end up with a kitchen fire. So I invested in a Ninja Foodi with all the different functions on how I wanted to cook (pressure cooker, air fryer, sauté, warm, etc.). I also imvested in the time to learn how to use it. Now I always use the Ninja Foodi. And now I am relieved knowing that I will never have a fire in the kitchen again. You can even use the sauté button if you need to boil water.

Already use a few of these, and now have ideas for many more! Thank you so much for making additional content to raise awareness about making cleaning more universally accessible!

Melissa, I have been watching your videos for a long time. And they are great, but this one and the first one for people with mobility issues and just not being able to do all our housework anymore as we did when younger. The tools you suggested were practical and I ordered today the Dyson that you recommended. Thank you so much for your suggestions for us over 70’s!

Congratulations on your award with makers mop . It's good to help me with mobility issues with cleaning . I like the cleaning ghost From 🇬🇧. Also can make your videos more worldwide it's heavy on the American market

Thank you so much for this video and your response to my query about mobility & cleaning. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your videos. I started my "spring cleaning" April 1st thinking that I would need two weeks as opposed to the two days it took in my youth. Well surprise, it took me two months. But discovering your channel has helped inspire me along the way and I appreciate the updated techniques & products. Thank you Melissa.

Thank you so much for doing these videos on limited mobility, I always enjoy your videos, but this one especially help me immensely. I just turned 56 yo and have been waiting over 3 years for knee replacement surgery (both knees) and just walking around my home has become a struggle. All of the products you mentioned look like they would be extremely helpful, but I think the Maker's Mop is the best bang for the buck (can use in multiple areas around the house). Again, thank you for providing such great content!!!

Great follow-up, Melissa! Thank you. You can't imagine how many lives you're changing for the better. ❤ I LOVE my electric extenible scrubber!! I use it for the shower and tub, but I also use it for the grout in tile floor in the hallway (with your FANTASTIC DIY cleaner of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda!), the glass panels of our hallway chandelier that's way up in the pitch of the roof, and windows and sills. Even my husband uses a separate one for a bunch of outdoor projects: washing the cars, cleaning the deck, and cleaning the garbage cans. We both find it to be a game changer. I will be looking into those electric spray bottles for my niece who has rheumatoid arthritis in her hands. And I think I'll be looking into the Maker's Mop as well! The top of my kitchen cabinets are easy enough to dust, but a nightmare to clean. I literally stand on a ladder to do it. This mop has the potential to end that nightmare!🤞

I think the spin scrubber would become an essential tool for me. Thank you for these videos.

I have Spinocerebellar Ataxia (SCA), but I also prepare slideshows and their accompanying presentations. I have presented, and consulted, about the patient experience of SCA, the symptoms and diagnosis of SCA, accommodations for SCA, ADA regulations and generalities of service dogs, how service dogs can be utilized in general and in SCA specifically, tips and resources to get a service dog and tips and resources to self train a service dog. I am going to use this duo of videos in my presentations. Comment question: I LOVE, want and now have plans to get a "cleaning cart"... A tool I cannot live without are my grabbers. Thank you for putting these videos out. This is MUCH NEEDED information!!

The extended spin scrubber looks amazing. Long Covid has taken me out of the cleaning game for a few years, and my ambition still exceeds my energy. Anything that saves some spoons is welcome! I use the Bissell Steam-shot to reduce scrubbing when possible. Steam and a microfiber cloth can loosen and remove dirt like crazy. We keep 3-4 grippers around the house. The Dollar Tree gripper works surprisingly well, but it can’t hold onto heavier objects like a phone. So having a stronger gripper as well is helpful. I just finished a bedroom deep clean using many of these techniques. Used a microfiber on a swiffer handle to dust and spot clean the walls. Dollar tree also has a new fluffy duster-style mophead that can be used as a very long duster. I’m lucky enough to have a robot vacuum and mop, and I sent them both on several passes before I went in with a mop to make sure everything was definitely clean. Sent the mopping robot back to perform a gentle rinse before i went back with a light conditioning and buffing with a clean microfiber on a swiffer. Which by then *absolutely* was done while sitting in a shower stool. And it took 2 days! But if I hadn’t used these methods, I would have given up by the second day. 🩵

I have an electric scrubber and a grabber and I love them both. My grandmother used a grabber all the time so I picked up the habit. A mattress wedge tool (looks like an oversized door stop with a handle) is great for lifting mattresses to change bed linens. Would be useful for sofa cushions too.

I use a grabber. It even has a magnet on it, so it picks up metal objects. I love your vacuum cleaner. Hi from London, England. 😊

I powered through treatment for aggressive cancer that left me with peripheral neuropathy and lymphedema. Unfortunately, congenital scoliosis, severe spinal stenosis and two herniated discs stacked on shoulder dysplasia / arthritis have left me feeling defeated when it comes to daily cleaning tasks. I appreciate the tips you and your commenters shared.

Thank you for these videos Melissa! I've had cerebral palsy since age 2 years old (mild). But I have had lower back pain for 8 years after accidentally falling down my basement steps 8 years ago. I'm just now getting physical therapy for it because of a siatic nerve that recently started. Any one of these tools would help me. Love your videos

That motorized scrub brush looks awesome! I could definitely use it to clean my tub and make it much easier!

I have developed arthritis in my thumbs recently, so the electric spray bottle was an eye opener for me. Just holding the bottle is tough. I'd never heard of this before. You don't realize how much you use a body part until you can't use it anymore. Another item I use is knee pads if I have to get on my knees to do something, which is hard enough to do anyways, lol. Thank you, Melissa and team, for all the great videos you make! I love watching them :)

I struggle with circular scrubbing motion. If I do too much of it, moving my arms at all causes pain in my shoulders. It took years to accept that I needed tools to modify how I clean. I like drill brushes. They are similar to the extendable tool you showed, but just works with a standard drill. Loved the series and I encourage you to revisit it from time to time!

As if you didn't take up all of my free time already (and a lot of my cleaning time for motivation) I EAGERLY awaited this video to come out because I finally felt heard. I've had an issue with my knee since I was about 18 and have not been able to squat or get on my knees since at the age of 35 now. It's been a BIG impact on my life not being able to do these things and being a mom of 2 young ones I'm sure you could understand how challenging that can be sometimes. I too was skeptical about the extendable electric scrubber! Once upon a time I even made fun of my mother for buying one! After this video I will now be buying 2, one for myself, and one brand new one for her since she's lost hers somehow lol. And possibly that rolling stool if I can think of a place to store it when not in use. ANYHOO.....You and your team have been amazing, I have your microfibers, I bought my mother some, I also have your mop (I get why its award winning) I've learned so much and get a lot more done. Thank you for hearing us and giving us some love!

Thank you for these informative videos. I am in my late 70s and the rolling stool would be most helpful for me.

I definitely need that electric scrubber. My issues are knee related and getting on the floor to scrub the bathtub is out of the question. I’m going to order one!

The one I know I would use is the makers mop. With a spinal cord injury it’s very difficult for me to use a broom. Something about the motion of it throws my back into a whirlwind of pain for 2-3 afterwards. But, I can use a similar type of product and it doesn’t bother me near as bad. I do so very much appreciate these videos. They’re very helpful!

Thank you for referring the Multi-tool spin scrubber. That will be useful for people with poor dexterity such as my brother but I as an able bodied individual can also use. This is an adaptable tool for everyone to use.

I like the scrubber tool with all the different scrubbing heads.

I recently got an electric telescoping scrubber and it is great! very much recommend! Also as Melissa mentioned vacuums- Totally agree with your comment about the robot vac. I have one but I find I still need another vacuum to really get the job done. Biggest game changer was switching out my old vacuum to a cordless one! Having a cord to manage and a canister on wheels on my old vacuum really affected my body mechanics while I was cleaning and was really hard on my back. With my new cordless vacuum I can so SO much more without increasing my pain levels!

Thank you for your insights and for creating your videos. I am 4 feet 11 inches tall. So, I was glad to see the extenders and for reaching.

Thank you for this great video! I have Spina Bifida and have been in a wheelchair my whole life- so content like this is super helpful to me. I have some of these products and will look into the others.

I just bought the extendible scrubber. It looks like a game changer!

These are great tips. My Mom has arthritis in her hands and has such a hard time cleaning. Thank you for your helpful videos.

Been watching you forever and the information just keeps getting better. Thank you for all you do and for all the research you put into each video.

Thanks for the information. The extension magnet seems like it should be in every garage and workshop!

Appreciate the safety info with chronic pain and limited mobility great ideas you gave and I love the mop features, use of a rolling cart and my favorite the power scrubber! Really helps clear hard water soap residue left on the porcelain shower glass shower doors. Keep up the great work and advocating for people challenged to do household chores. Cleaning companies are very expensive!

While I don’t have any physical limitations, I do love my robot vacuum. We have 3 cats and 3girls with long hair. It keeps the hair under control. I also have the wand scrubber. It is. Rey helpful for reaching high/low spaces.

Thank you for this video! I've got chronic back pain and cleaning is often a painful task, but I manage just as we all do. I have a few of the items recommended in this video, but I think the next thing I need is the Makers Mop! I appreciate the attention to this particular topic! Thanks, Melissa!

Great videos. I personally cannot use the scrubber. It controls me not the other way around! But again they were great. Thank you

I have had major chronic back pain for so many years. I appreciate you addressing this issue. I would love to have that vacuum and your mop. But first thing I am getting is that grabber. One for me and one for my mom. ❤

As my husband and I age, we have experienced more pain when cleaning and doing other chores around the house. For spring cleaning , I got a couple of stools. Drill driven scrub brushes and extendable tools. It makes all the difference between can't do and success. I enjoy seeing your ideas and recommendations. Bless you for the service you are providing. It is a big hurdle just to admit you need help. It is good to know I am not in it alone.

It's great to hear that the tools are making a difference in your cleaning routine!

I would love the lightweight vacuum. I have limited mobility & weakness with my shoulder replacement. The regular vacuum is okay for main areas, but is cumbersome for stairs, under & behind furniture, etc. Thanks for this valuable series! 😊❤

I have the Rubbermaid Reveal electric scrub brush with all the different attachments and I love it.

Maker's Mop looks like something I need. Thanks for this content. I'm cleaning with MS.

Hi Sydney! CONGRATULATIONS! You've been selected as the winner of our giveaway. Please send us a note to info@cleanmyspace.com :)

I've been waiting for this video since you announced it last week Melissa. Thank you for this content. Something I'd like to share about people with limited mobility, at least my experience, is for others to not be afraid afraid or embarrassed to both ask AND offer help if you can, even if something seemingly small. Before having mobility issues I always said I wouldn't like anyone helping me (I thought that would be embarrassing.) But once I started experiencing mobility limitations, many times I've wished people would offer help. Sometimes it's not even the physical help, it's the mental part of it. For example, when having to cross a busy street with my crutches, I wished the people that were passing me by would have offered to accompany me the stretch of the crossroad. Of course they couldn't have walked it for me, but it would have been lovely if they could have walked it WITH me ❤️. No one ever did, and that stuck with me a lot. I still have some mobility issues but now they are different. What would be helpful right now would be to have that cleaning rolling 🛒 cart, it would be lovely 💕. Have a great week everyone.

The tool i would like to use is the Electric Extendible Scrubber:. I have been eye balling it for a while now but haven't taken the plunge, didn't want to waste any money. i have a husband and 4 kids and let me tell you, there is no shortness of cleaning😂. i like cleaning products and tools to help me do thing more efficiently, quickly and things that can add a little joy into it. Great video Melissa💙

I deeply appreciate this video series! 🙏🏽🥰 I limited strength & mobility due to a whole mess of conditions. My friend recently showed me her electric extendable scrubber that she uses in her bathroom, and I was SHOOK!! If I am lucky enough to win 🤞🏽that's definitely what I would buy! 😀

I would love be to have a makers mop. I’m 73. Still working because of me net Issues. Vacuuming is the hardest and cleaning the tub. Enjoy your you tube channel and have watched for years.

I started having more issues with cleaning over the last couple of years and was happy to see this video. I already have a couple of the products you suggested and I am looking forward to trying some of the others. Thank you!

I love my shark robot vacuum and my tinco vac mop. I just received my order from you and love my black dish clothes, also got the waffle towels and microfiber towels and am gonna order more. Thank you for your awesome products Melissa ❤

Hi, would you please tell me more aborto your shark vacuum? Iv've been considering ordering one and would value your opinion on ease of use and weight.

I love the grabber! Good video. Love that you spoke with an OT for this

What great information! We have a Maker's Mop and in general I love it. I love the pads & how light weight it is. It never ceases to amaze me how much dog hair it can pick up and not drop any. Our locking feature doesn't work very well on it, which drives me nuts but I love the other features too much to buy something else. Thanks for seeing people who's bodies need unique adaptations.
