Doing something as simple as taking your dirty shoes off at the door shows that you care and appreciate all the work your wife does. It speaks huge volumes about your love for her.

Well that's what marriage is,a team effort. On the homestead everyone pitches in and it is much appreciated. I know Stacey is thankful for you everyday and you for her.

Very few understand this today

AMEN! BEST GIFTS TO ME IS WHEN MY HUSBAND HELPS WITH CLEANING OR JUST SOME SIMPLE THINGS.

I am glad that I am not the only big, bearded man that still giggles, on occasion. Love the video, Doug!

I love it when my husband helps with the work load at home. I think it's great to see him pitch in.

Doug, you rock! It takes a real man to step up to the plate...and still go out and shoot some skeet!!! Stacy will love the effort. You're a team player bro.

What a blessing for Stacy. Blessings to you Doug.

He built the house and cleans it too, nice! I use vinegar for most of my cleaning as well, with water and mint oil in it. Occasionally that Murphy oil soap for a deep scrub down.

getting jiggy with it.....lmbo!! Old school reference time....Great video!

Yes Doug this is the BEST present you could give Stacy 😊👍

It's wonderful to see a husband help his wife that way God bless you

I bet Stacy did appreciate this one!!! I have been with man in my life...Polish, Italian, German...and English ..none of them was ever on their knees cleaning the floor!! I have to say: I just hope you are doing it all the time :) .. There is nothing more than helping each other... thank you Doug for sharing it. YOU are a True MAN! what a wonderful vid for the whole family!! thank you guys! you are the best

You go Doug. What a nice treat for Stacy :-)

Good info. Will try it on our wood floors. Doug I know Stacy is going to be very grateful for all you do for her. God bless.

I loved the line, sSacy is not the only one who knows how to mix up some essential oils. Nice work. The wood work looks great! It is amazing what my wife does. It can be easy to over look until she sick or gone for a day. It becomes very apparent how amazing she is and how much she does. Blows me away.

1/4c olive oil 1/3c vinegar Dashes (20drops) of sweet orange essential oil Hot water Can’t wait to try this one

Homestead Homie Points!!!! Blessings! Happy Wife, Happy Life.

Stacy was just bragging on you about this concoction the other day! I'll be making it tomorrow! Kudos, Doug, for surprising her...every woman out there loves coming home to a surprise like this!

I love watching cleaning videos. I'm a Nova Scotian mom of 6 and I like to keep it simple, and minimal living. as a mom I know "housework" is unending and yes it is nice to have a surprise help g hand sometimes. :-) thanks for sharing.

lol, you cracked me up! Gettin’ Jiggy Widit wearing suspenders.

You might not do it often but the fact that you do it at all speaks volumes! I absolutely love this and will probably end up using that floor cleaner recipe soon.

As a wife/mom who does all the cleaning 99% of the time a surprise like that is always a very welcome surprise- I know she will really appreciate it! I bet the house smells great with that mix of olive oil and essential oils! Healthy non chemical cleaners are definitely the way to go! Keep doing what y'all do ! ~ Blessings!

I sanded & laid our wood floors with an air-gun, my husband did the cutting for me. And I used plywood. laughing... I sealed them with an oil, then "waxed" them. I made my wax with coconut oil thickened with a little beeswax & carnauba waxes. I gently warmed it all in a can in a pot of water, adding coconut oil until it was an easy wipe on & I wiped with another small old rag as I went to be sure it was not too much. Coconut oil does not rot, the way olive oil does & smells a lot better to me. I only do the wax stuff every 2 or 3 years & they still glow when I give them a quick clean every month or 3. When I clean the floor, a little vinegar in water works for me. I live in the forested mountains & dirt used to be a problem until I pulled out the plastic flooring & carpet. Wood cleans up so much nicer & quicker. It has been over 5 years & they are still great.

I had one of those bent iron wood chairs years ago made by the Amish. I loved it! Thank you for helping around the house. My hubbs, Harry does the same and I soooo appreciate it! There is nothing unmanly about it. Makes us love y'all more!! God bless you!

Thank you for the floor cleaner. I love how nice it looks. So pure and healthy. Stacy is gonna love it. Nice job!

It's the right thing to do Doug since the whole time she was gone you went fishing, hehehe. Good job homie, very nice thing you did for her.

you've earned your Dudley Do-Right badge

Nice job! I bet it makes the house smell good. I am sure Stacy will appreciate everything you do. Take care.

Nicely done Doug. Sweet Orange 🍊 is one of my favs too.

Not saying a word but here goes 👏👏👏👏👏👏👌👌👌👌👍👍👍!!!

Doug very thoughtful of you. Ir's nice to know that there are other men out there who, can help out with woman's work when the need arises. If you did it all the time the "helpful" nature would be lost.

Great vid Doug.Team work that what marriage is all about.Thanks for the floor cleaning tip.God Bless.

Great to know for the floors. Your furniture is so shiny and looks great!!!

Love the rocking chair! Good for you Doug! Making brownie points is always a good thing!

How sweet. And love the floors.

Good for you, getting “jiggie” wid it! You’re so funny, especially laughing at yourself. Great video, I’m going to try your mixture. Blessings...

This really works! I have just cleaned my solid oak floor. My husband does Parquet flooring professionally and approves of the natural products in this recipe. I wanted a moisturised look without a waxy slippery and dangerous surface... and that is exactly what it does. Thank you. I must add.... it would have been nice if people had left comments on the wonderful results and not chit-chat nothingness. So here I am... to say try it everyone... a brilliant solution AND natural. Thank you Doug

Doug my brother....I realize your all into the off grid thing but they have invented this new-fangled thing called a mop....OR....you could get some old cotton shirts cut up and a branch from a tree and make one! Saves on the knees on the pants as well! :) Just had to give you some trouble; you sure made Stacy's day I am sure...good job! Have a great evening and hope you have a great time this weekend with the grankids!

It's pretty awesome Doug...Husband of the year award is in sight...Stacy will be in heaven when she comes home and sees all your love and hard work... ☆♡☆

You made every one of my dreams come true in this video. She's a very lucky woman.

lol.. loved your little giggle..or chuckle..funny. made me chuckle also. good job Doug. made me wanna clean my place. thanks

Getting Jiggy with it....LOL LOVE IT!!

Love the rocking chairs. Will give the floor cleaner a go. I use essential oils all the the time great stuff, I gather I could use a mop for the floor. I work a few days a week outside the home my partner cleans and has dinner made when I get home

Hay Doug when you're finished you can blitz my home lol or shall I just watch your video and learn to do it the natural way 😊

Nice job Dough!!!!

I’m 23 year old university guy. Trying to learn this for future marriage and cause I like being extra clean. Great vid. Thanks

Thanks for this video~! new ideas on how to use more natural things to clean with!!

we have lots of wood floors here. Will be trying your recipe.

Groovy very old skool!

Good job on the crib homie!!!

I love it! Nothin' like a man on his knees scrubbing the floor!!! :o)) You can come over and do my floors next!!

Great info the wood in your home looks beautiful. I will use this idea in a few days here. the floors do need some good tlc.

For anyone interested- placing a water proof outdoor rug at your front entrance and a smaller rug inside at the front entrance helps reduce dirt in the home (house/apartment). I read this in a catalog and decided to try it and I have to say, I’m impressed. I have two dogs so this really helps reduce dirt and dog tracks inside the home.

Well Doug I guess you earned your allowance that week good job It looks fantastic👌 😉

Oh nice, I love you're beautiful floor! You're natural cleaner is amazing, I could see it in the video. Thank you so much for sharing. And I' agree, I would rather have a surprise done like you are doing, cleaning the floor. Little thing's are way better and mean more then New earrings or some high price item.

Teamwork. 💗 im looking for more natural stuff to clean with I appreciate your video. The older i get the more I want to have our own homestead. Thank you😊

Awesome alternative floor polish.

i like this type videos,,team effort is a good thing in my opinion,,thanks

Less house = less cleaning. I love that ❤

Oh you're so, Doug you're wonderful! 00:29 😁 You know it! 👍👊

A thoughtful hubby!

Love the floor cleaner .Thanks

hello,, I like a clean home,, it says a lot with out ever saying a word,, good job,, good video,, thanks,, James,,,

I know Stacy appreciated it.

​💗 Doug & Stacy 💗

nice video and nice old school looking cabin. Have you ever did a cabin tour video where you talked about your cabin, cabinets and furniture?

Floors look great

Thanks for stickin up for us guys!, I know some guys that use the old school phrase "its womens work"! to get out of cleaning! Lazy! Good job!

Doug your awesome great job

That was a good one....thank-you..found myself saying yup.lol.lol..Good job..

I love the recipe thank you!

I notice that you have some oil lamps about. Have you ever tried a "Aladdin" oil lamp? They are a little more expensive than a traditional oil lamp, but they really put out the light! They use a mantle (like a Coleman lantern). They are great to light up a room or to read by.

Every guy needs to watch this one!!!

Awesome vid bro.

Thank You!

I have original 1851 oak flooring csnt wait ti try this cleaner , Thank doug

Doug you will be blessed for serving your wife :)

Thanks Doug for the floor cleaner instructions. Sadly , I do not have wood floors, but I assume I can still use it on the wood furniture & cabinets. No mushy stuff - just a 'good for you for helping with what a lot of men think is woman's work'.

Would love to see her reaction to your love!

Great tips!

Go Doug go doug go Doug go...👏👏👏👏👏

No Murphy oil soap?That is what I use.Wow that is a real good cleaning.

I’m not praising you cause you said not to, but that was awesome. Your wiping down was just exemplary 👍👍

Great tips

Dirt happens! And yes, a clean house is way better than jewelry! :)

Bet house smells great with the orange oils.

Sooooo true Doug

Nice!

Nothing is sexier than watching a man doing housework!

Thumbs up!

Thank you Doug me and my wife own a cleaning company looking for a great natural solution for that. Shalom!

Query: I assume those stairs you were greasing up are up to a loft bedroom? If so have you considered putting some rubber pads on them for friction and a hand rail? Not necessarily for today but for the whole aging in place not want to fall down them and break a hip days when you are an older unit than you are now. We are going to put them over our stairs to the basement.

I just happened across this video, I’ll be checking out more for sure! EVERYONE uses essential oils but I have absolutely no idea which ones to use! I’ve heard about a lot them are fake? I’m on a limited budget too so I have factor in price too.

Ok I can not stop there is no Dog house for you LOL

Man you have a very nice Home

Single momming in an off grid world is tough. I feel like "dirty sally" lol but its all good :)

awesome

What sealer is on your wooden floors? My floors are still bare hardwood so not sure if I should use it at Moat Cottage in Australia
