Just a disclaimer here....I'm a professional cleaner, this method of cleaning an oven ONLY works if you clean your oven on a regular basis (once or twice a year). It does NOT work if your oven is encased in an inch worth of 10 year crud. In that case, do yourself a favor, use the toxic oven cleaner and start cleaning your oven regularly after that. If you're ultra lazy, put some aluminum foil at the bottom to catch everything. Also, using vinegar in your washing machine will ruin the seals over time. You're better off using a dishwasher pod as its designed to be safe for machines.That said....great vid!

Both the laundry and dish washer machines have deep cleaning rituals and products which are outlined in your manual. I’m a lazy eco-hippie, so I usually source a more environment friendly deep cleaner, but I always use one designed for the specific application. And while we’re on the topic of the environment, those disposable dusters are made from virgin timber, usually from the Brazilian rainforest. So if we care about the lungs of the Earth, we might want to use a rag, or something less disposable instead. I know they’re tempting, I have one too, and then I read an article… 😱

My washing machine is 30 years old and I've been using white vinegar instead of fabric softener the entire time and never had to replace seals. However, I don't use it every single wash, probably every 4th with hot water. Keeps the funk away for sure. I don't use fabric softener, I put a dry towel in with damp clothes in dryer, when solar dryer isn't usable. Dries things much faster.

My high school starts classes at 7:30am. I am not a morning person and the entire time I was a student, I couldn’t wait to grow up and a get a real job so I wouldn’t have to be at work until 9am. The irony is that my real job is a high school teacher and now I need to be there even earlier!

I’m not choosing to be this way. The time blindness thing has always been my biggest struggle, my most enduring trait, it was what made me seek out ADHD resources beyond meds from my doc bc I’ve been diagnosed since my 20s, but honestly never thought it had anything to do with everything that keeps causing problems in my life. I just thought it explained why I couldn’t hold focus and got bored easily in class and never did homework. I had no idea there was a bunch of stuff online for us to help us function better! Until recently, I just thought adhd was mostly school related stuff but it’s not! It’s been really helpful to seek out things specifically aimed at people with adhd. It’s wild how much it affects and how many of my worst traits are just symptoms.

🎉l worked for a fire restoration company. My teamed cleaned the house from smoke damage. We had to wipe down every surface with a damp cloth. The big no-no was to spray the walls directly. The liquid run down is what causes the streaks! Have the microfiber cloth folded to about a 4 in square. Spray the cloth and wipe, refolding the cloth as needed. When all the cloth's surfaces are dirty. Toss and get a new cloth. Repeat.

Just water and either Dawn Platinum or Dawn Professional works fine to refill the rather expensive spray bottles. No need for any other ingredients-it is already in the Dawn* above. I buy the big bottles either at Cosco or Walmart-very economical. If you a Dawn that doesn't already have it, then you can add the alcohol. Hold your breath for a moment when you spray as the mist can enter lungs.

Popping the window frames back onto the screens: "Like, it's easy...grunt...it's easy...grunt..." LOLOL!!! That was great!

On the Wikipedia page for "Irony" I found this:"*Cosmic irony*, sometimes also called 'the irony of fate', presents agents as always ultimately thwarted by forces beyond human control..." A rain storm occurring right after washing one's windows or car would definitely be "forces beyond human control" thwarting the intentions of someone who has just washed her windows or car, in my opinion. Great and inspiring video, Cass! Thank you!

Thank you so much, Cass, for mentioning that Mr. Clean Magic Eraser removes paint. So many people don't understand that cleaning walls is best when done gently. I suggest spraying the dirty area with warm water with a little Dawn dish soap in it. Walk away. Spray LIGHTLY again a few minutes later and wipe. Easy, no scrubbing, and paint stays in tact.

So what may have seemed like wasted time to you, may have been simply her ENJOYING cleaning, as crazy as it sounds, some of us truly like cleaning house. ❤

Keep up this great work. I trust I'm not the only bug that feels so strongly about your work.

Hi Cas. I have a son (aged 22 and trying to live alone). He has ADHD. The biggest struggle is : how to maintain a reasonable clean appartment. Ever since I folow your channel I found a ton of easy trics and am currently trying to make his space work for him. The key is to recondition your brain and simplify everithing. I've lurned so much about ADHD and the struggles who come with it. So many things are SO recognisable. Love the way you handle it. You make me smile with your story's. Still thinking about the story of the returning of the red shoes 😂

Along the same lines of your fridge cleaning hack... I always clean out my fridge and cabinets right before I get groceries (when my fridge and pantry are the most empty). It saves me so much time since I barely have to pull anything out to clean.

You made this fun to watch and you are so real about how life can be. It can be like that so much with things getting ruined after spending time cleaning and organizing.

I've been cleaning homes for 35 yrs. Personally I don't use dryer sheets, but some of my customers do. I will be cleaning their lint traps with dawn dish soap. Thanks so much for the tip 😊

Thanks for the dryer tip - no one wants a fire! Great video. You make cleaning fun.

Great video and awesome tips. For anyone who wants to give up dryer sheets, wool dryer balls work great with no residue and don't coat your clean laundry in chemicals like dryer sheets do.

Just cleaned my dryer screen! Water didn’t go through mine either! Thank you for this life-saving tip!!!❤

Love when you sing ...... excellent tips!

Just when I thought I couldn’t love you more, Cas 😂😂😂

I just found your channel today and I am LOVING all of your little commentaries while you clean 😂 I’m literally the same way

😮MG! I just cleaned my dryer filter & I had the invisible film on it. It literally took the same amount of time of washing your hands. You can tell the difference instantly. I ❤ learning something new. Thank you Cas 🐞

I love the Pink Stuff for cleaning my oven. Best thing I've ever used. The hardest part of cleaning the oven for me is reaching into to back. That's so uncomfortable (I'm short). I don't use dryer sheets, or fabric softener anymore. I have learned that putting about 1/4 cup of white vinegar in with the wash softens the cloths just as well.

You can slide the oven door up and off the hinges be able to reach the back of the oven more easily. My oven door can only be pulled off from the slightly open position, not the fully open position.

That's for a full load. If I have a smaller load I use less. I just put it where you're supposed to add the fabric softener.​@@crazycatlady6396

First of all, sorry I lol at your gagging 😂, secondly great tips!! At a different home I liked to hang my clothes outside to dry in the warmer months. I swear, 75% of the time our neighbor would decide to use his burning barrel to burn their paper garbage (hello!! Recycle!!)! Clothes would then smell like you rolled in a campfire. 🤦🏼‍♀️

"My brain is starting to hurt." -Cas. I love watching you because you make me laugh till I hurt.

Thank you for the checklist. Even though I know I need to do a full ceiling to floor, wall to wall cleaning, my painful physical limitations just make it almost impossible for me to do things anymore.I have to leave almost all of it to my husband to do, which bothers me because I hate asking him to do so much while he still works a full time job and is tired. Now that my adult son moved back in for a time, I can have him help me with getting "one thing done a day" & hopefully have this place spic & span within 30 days. 🙂 I love watching your videos. I take away something new with each one!

Volume 44 legally blind, I have the immune disorder Ms it's called cidp that affects my walking and the causes great pain and I have lupus I understand what you're saying completely when I do to serve my family is when I feel like it and I know I can I tackle something and I hit it hard. I also make sure that every night before I go to bed the sink is cleaned out dried the counters are wiped the handles the refrigerator the stove hood and the table are just washed off one rag dish soap and water. My husband does help me clean everything that's up high and he does both showers because I can't do to fall risks I felt useless in my life and I prayed to God asking what can I do to serve anybody including my family. I literally heard something say to me whether it's God or my mind I'm not sure but it said you know how to clean do it when you're tired stop! Hopefully this helps a little! You've got this! We are tough women😊

For the past two years, we had a guy come and wash windows, did a beautiful job. 💐🌺🌷 Two days later, the landlady had the house power washed. 😱😱😱 Sigh. It looks like I haven't cleaned the windows in 9 years, but it's all on the outside. 😬😬😬

Always love your tips! 💜 Your monthly schedule reminded me of Sunday Dawn at The Helpful Home. She organizes “Tiny Tuesdays” with several other women sharing their own short but productive videos each week. They are all awesome. Sunday would be a great guest to interview…just sayin! 😉

In a video she posted a few months ago on her bedroom makeover, she mentioned she got those beautiful curtains on Wayfair. ☺

I love your hacks. Some additional: The old habit of using baking soda in the fridge is legit. After you clean the spills, wipe down the surfaces of the fridge with water and baking soda 1-3% solution will work. Do not rinse. This will inhibit mold and bacteria from growing. I saw those smily sponges at Costco, now I am going to buy them.. For the oven, prevention can go a long way. Throw a flat baking sheet witha rim under any pan that might overflow. It is what many chefs do. Washing machine: It will never smell and rarely need cleaning (I have not had to clean in over 5 years, just check). I never use fabric softener, it ruins fabric. Instead I put vinegar or substitute in fabric softener dispenser. (Cheap vinegar substitute 2 Tablespoons citric acid powder per litre (4 cups) of water). This removes any detergent build up in clotĥes and machine. *If your machine ever fails to empty always check this filter for blockages before calling for repair. I found a candy wrapper and a couple of coins from a pocket when this happened to me. Dryer: Filter film is caused by fabric softener. It does the same to your clothes, and your skin. Yuck! I don't use it and never have this problem. If you have done something stupid like I did the other day and started the machine without the lint filter in (dryer made funny sound drum would not turn). I was able to reach down through the filter opening and pull out the clothing that was stuck in the blower wheel. On my machine I had to reach to the bottom left and easily felt and pulled out the offending article without having to take apart the machine or pay for a repair. I hope tis helps someone. To prevent fire it is recommended at least once per year to remove the hose from the back of the dryer and vacuum or shake it out. It can become blocked over time. Window cleaning: I cleaned windows professionally. Inside a good specialized window cleaning cloth and water is all that is usually needed. Kodiak is the brand I use. It works as well as any of the overpriced brands and is available in many independent dollar stores. Note a regular microfibre cloth works for very light window glass cleaning, but a special good window cleaning cloth is is superior. Never use with standard window cleaners (like windex). These contain waxes that will give you streaks and ruin your cloth. Also never use fabric softners on any of your cleaning cloths for the same reason. For outside vinegar or citric acid solution as described aboe is my go to. Sceens: A wipedown is fine for fly by cleaning or windows you do not open. For a yearly clean they really need to be removed to gel all the debris out of the crevices in the edges and tracks. It can be done without, but I love my steam cleaner for thiis! Blinds. Above a kitchen sink, where blinds really get dirty. A very little bit of dish soap and water. Start at the top place a microffibre cloth so it wipes both sides of each slat at once, between your index finger and thumb (you can also use cheap fluffy dollar store gloves for this). Wipe along each section of slat between ladders. I start at the edge and do as many as I can comfortable reach (usually about ten to 12 rows and then move on to the next section. Take great care at the edges of the blind as this is where it is easy to accidently bend the slats. Curtains and lampshades: I use a vacuum, but I have animals an I would have to change the sticky roller every 6"(only a slight exaggeration), but would definitely not be time or cost effective in my case. After dust removal a fabric steamer is great to remove wrinkles or freshen up if needed. And last, but not least: Thank you Thank-you, Thank-you for your free charts. They are indispensable! As is your energy and vibe.

This is one of my favorite videos you have made and I’ve been watching for years. Thank you Cas! You’re like the friend I never want out of my life. You are so practical, helpful, funny, real and down to earth! Keep being you! You are a blessing to so many!!!

So many great tips. I feel inspired to clean my fridge now. Will I? Probably not but you inspired the thought 😂. Only thing I disagree with is cleaning curtains. If you have pets or cook lots of stinky food curtains can start to smell. I wash mine every other year, upstairs one year and downstairs the next. I made all my curtains though so I know the fabric was pre washed and those hems are solid. You could always just pop stinky curtains on the line for a few hours though if you are worried about shrinking. Let the UV rays do the hard work 😊

Cas, thankyou for sharing these tips! I got up this morning and washed the seal around the dishwasher, the dryer vent, the washer seal and vent and that smelled like A $$, totally needed it! The oven door needed love so I scrubbed that down. Tomorrow, the Microwave and fridge!! Thank you again!!!

To clean microwave, roll a lemon between your hands to loosen up the juices, cut it in half and squeeze all the juice into a bowl, then add one cup of water. Drop in the lemon halves and place the bowl in your microwave. Run the microwave on high for five minutes. The water will be boiling temp. I use a 2 cup glass pyrex measuring cup so I can pick it up by the handle with an oven mitt and remove. This will cause a nice steam and any splatters loosen up and wipe off easy. The lemon makes it smell nice and clean.. Wipe it clean, and you're done!

I love that you’re also dusting your walls & not scrubbing! 🙌 I don’t have drapes but do have curtains at my front & back doors. I wash to keep household smells from lingering. If you have nice heavy drapes, though, I’d send them to the cleaners every year or two for cooking or pet smells.

I love her. She somehow made a cleaning video hilarious with all her commentary and funny reactions! She's obviously naturally funny.

I just painted my front door white, and then the neighbor mowed his dirt creating a dust cloud. I set up for my son's birthday party outside and the same neighbor laid out manure on his dirt so we had to move inside. I waited until the first day of Spring to wash my windows, and sure enough it rained. Murphy's Law.

Can we just acknowledge how much we love Alanis Morissette? (The situations in the song are described as "unfortunate", not necessarily ironic.) Still one of the best songs ever written. ❤ 🎼

Love this video! IRONY is the opposite of what we’d expect. Sarcasm is condescending and may embarrass or insult someone, though we can be sarcastic about ourselves too! Like if I broke something in my house because I wasn’t careful, I might say to myself, “Oh, great going; I knew I could count on you.) Apolice station being robbed would be ironic.

Great trips! I once asked a professional window cleaner and he used your exact water, vinegar and dish soap. I love this video !!

A fridge hack I do that has saved me so much time was to line all my shelves and drawers with cling wrap. If something spills it's really easy to pull out, throw away, and re-cover. There may be times when a spill requires extra clean up but I have had mine like this for 4 years now and haven't had to do any extra cleaning.
