I’m confused that you’re decrying the use of dryer sheets for dusting. I first learned that trick a few months from your 21 Cleaning Hacks video where you specifically promote using used dryer sheets to clean/dust baseboards and talk about the fact that it has a residual static charge which is why it helps pick up dust there, whereas here you say it just pushes dust around/off and doesn’t pick it up. I thought maybe it had to do with whether the dryer sheet is used vs unused because you mention unused dryer sheets in the segment intro here, and that would make sense that there’s a difference there, but in the segment, you specifically talk about dusting with a used dryer sheet. Am I missing something? Not trying to be snarky, genuinely confused and asking as a long-time subscriber and Maker’s Clean customer because I appreciate how spot on your info usually is, so my assumption is I must be missing something here.

I’ve noticed with her channel and a few other people that after they went to this Tide Proctor Gamble clinic they’ve all change their stories. My guess is sponsorship and money. These companies make a huge amount of money by selling multiple products that the companies in self used to market as a do it all product when it was originally released. I think with things being the way they are people getting a little more worried about what they put in their home people having money trouble they’re looking for cheaper older ways to do things and I think basically they pull these influencer and offer them deals to debunk everything that’s ever been used before.

I just haven’t been impressed with it when I really think about it and compare results. Look, we film videos every week and have been doing so since 2011. My opinions change! I learn new things. As an expert, I have to always be learning and testing, or else I wouldn’t be able to speak with confidence on my subject. At the end of the day, if you test a dryer sheet against a microfibre cloth (used or unused) you’ll get better results with a microfibre cloth every time. Is the hack to use a dryer sheet? Sure. But I don’t love the results. So I can disagree with myself - I am not so inflexible that I would not admit when I was wrong or have changed my opinion! I think that’s why people still keep me around after all these years 🤣🤣🤣.

So when I went to P&G, I learned a lot on that trip. Things I only could have experienced in a lab of that calibre. And when I saw those comparisons, I was very convinced. I wish I was paid for that trip. I currently don’t have sponsorship with Tide, I would love it if I did. And whenever I do have a partnership, I’m very transparent about it. As I said above, I do my best to learn as much as I can about my subject. I want to share the best info I can with the audience. I am also the first to speak up and say when I think a product is crap, and you don’t even know how many brands (and how much money!) I’ve turned away behind the scenes because I can’t get on board with saying something to my audience I don’t believe in. I hope that explains things a little more, at least from my side. I can’t speak for the others who have been, but that’s been my take ❤️❤️❤️

So you need to make a post and pick which side it is did you never say it or have you learned better ways because in your video you basically said everything you’ve never said but then above you say oh over the years I’ve just change my mind. It’s one thing to learn and change your mind but then to say in your video a lie that I never said do any of these hacks is that a lie because a lot of the stuff as you said since 2011 you have told people to do. Also you have to think about it lab results can show you anything that they want to I use tide for a lot of things but I can easily make Todd look like it does better than anything else but just making a few modifications and as you said this lab is at a caliber and a financial point they can make things look how they want. Tide was actually released as a do it all product and you would never need anything else in your home and then the very same company is saying oh yeah that’s true but then also you need to buy 50 other things. I would have no problem with you growing and changing your mind I do have a problem when you say I have never and since day one when I heard this told people not to do it those are two different things.

I beckon to differ on the vinegar and baking soda. One it’s all natural so if you have somebody with sensitivities and allergies you don’t have to worry about all the extra crap that manufacturers put in cleaners. To baking soda vinegar and lemon juice is the only cleaner I have found to remove not only the stains but the smell of a urine stained mattress. You mix it into a paste put it on the mattress scrub it into the mattress let it dry and vacuum it up. Works like a charm every time. Also works extremely well on hard water stains. It probably didn’t work for you because you had the wrong ratio. My guess is too much vinegar and not enough baking soda. And trust me I’ve been cleaning a lot longer than you.

Like I said in my previous content it could have something to do with the ratios. I don’t doubt that if you use equal parts vinegar and baking soda they do neutralize each other. But I tried it with just water and baking soda and lemon juice or just baking soda and lemon juice in something about adding the vinegar made a difference. In fact when I let it air dry after scrubbing it into the mattress there was a layer of baking soda left on the mattress that I had to vacuum up. The baking soda was discolored from the urine in the mattress was white again.

Props to Chad for the subtle but hilarious sound effects peppered through this video! And hey Molly!! Thanks for a really useful video, guys.

Wish this video was out when I started making my own laundry detergent a few years back! A few months after using it, our clothes started to yellow and get stiff. And the odor the clothes started to have was sour! I was also making my own dishwasher tabs! Ruined a nice set of dishes by stripping the design off! Lesson learned! If it sounds wonky, then it probably is! Thanks for your informative info!

Every expert on every subject has the same reaction about 5 minutes crafts. It's horrible they still have the permision to be on youtube despite all the false informations they are giving. Thank you for the work you did!

I truly appreciate how aggravated you on the silly stuff online. You are soo right! Don’t use silly hacks. Use the trusted methods of cleaning- oh maybe the 3 wave system … And if you really don’t know how to clean something check out one of Clean My Space videos- or read Melissa’s book. You guys are amazing!! Thank you for all that you do!😃

Great video Melissa. I have owned a cleaning company for several years. The one hack you missed is the toilet bowl cleaner on the grout. Yes it works so well that over time you will not have a floor. May Not happen initially but over time just wait for the cracks because they are coming.

Great video, Melissa! One weird hack that really does work is one I learned in basic training (USAF 1973-1979); toothpaste works great to remove black scuff marks from floors. Of course, you have to wash off the sticky residue afterward, but I haven't found another product that does that job. I am a Procter & Gamble investor, but I don't buy their laundry products. Most DIY laundry soaps, the ones made from shredded bar soap, leave a waxy residue on the fibers of clothing and linens, no surfactants so dirt settles back onto them. My own DIY laundry detergent is made with borax, Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda, and Dawn dish detergent. I sanitize almost every load with oxygen bleach powder. Tide never did remove marinara stains from my white table linens, but this homemade detergent really DOES. It's the very best I've ever used in all my 72 years. No environmentally harmful chemicals, no plastic containers to send off to the recycling center. -

I made my own laundry soap. My whites turned dingy meaning the colors weren't right either. I've tried several of the hacks you show with the same results, didn't come clean and what little did come clean was because I scrubbed until my arms were sore. Now in the 70s the hairspray worked. Not sure what's different about it now but I'm sure it's not the same stuff. I'm sure someone sits around all night coming up with stuff for the gullible to do and are laughing their heads off that we think it's a good idea. That being said, everything I've used from your channel works. Simple ingredients, not expensive, does the job. Thanks a bunch for sharing with us.

Thanks again for saving my precious time as well as money once again! Im a "Clean my Space" groupie! Have the cloths, the mop, bought the book and use the recipes!

I feel like you have also gathered the support of skin care experts as well. "put toothpaste all over your face" What the actual f*ck? Please don't do this!

Love the video but I disagree with the dryer sheets - I don’t see them pushing dirt around, instead they act like a microfiber cloth & trap dirt. Been using them to dust long before You Tube.

I actually use Rain X on my full glass door that is on my front door area, ( its an interchangeable screen - glass or full screen) and it works amazing. I've used it for years, and no issues. As adults, I think we can pretty much ascertain how much washing soap ( detergent) one needs when doing laundry, even if decanting. The reason for decanting... if you've ever had mice eat through your laundry soap box.... yeah. Glass or hard plastic is kinda impervious to that. I am allergic to Tide, but I will use it every so often, the one that is " free and clear " of dyes, etc. Vinegar and salt cleans your copper bottomed pots and pans, works amazing. My GRANDMOTHER taught me that, back in the seventies. Yes, the fake stain things is ridiculous. I use Vinegar to clean my faucets , and I used to be a Professional Housekeeper, I never used these silly " hacks " ..... time wasters, really..... Not hacks. Use products intended for what you need to do, stop wasting time with things that are inferior and don't really get the job done.

I thoroughly enjoyed this 😂

Haie spray USED to work on ink stains, BACK in the day. Formulas have changed since then.

Do you use something in the wash to filter the microplastic released from the microfiber cloths? I've been looking online for something to use and it seems like everything I find has mixed reviews.

Literally saw a TikTok where a woman mopped her wood floors with powdered tide, fabuloso, and a cascade dishwasher pod. Besides mixing all of those chemicals which is a bad idea, I’m pretty sure using a dish detergent which is designed to break down food particles would completely tear up the finish on your floor. Plus those are REALLY expensive cleaning products. Powdered tide is a really popular suggestion for mopping your floor and as a cleaning solution too. Anyways there’s a lot bad cleaning advice on TikTok. Glad you did a video addressing these!

Most recipes for homemade laundry "detergent" are not actually detergents by definition. Rather, they are usually a mix of soap, borax, and washing soda - none of which are detergents. That being said, I do make my own laundry powder because I get terrible skin reactions to commercial laundry detergents, even the unscented ones. So, there is a place for home made mixes for those of us who can't use commercial products. Sadly, the homemade powders do require washing in hot water, or at least pre-dissolving in hot water. I'd be glad to switch back if someone would make a laundry detergent that I could use.

I filled a clean bin with water and oxyclean, and left them in overnight. The next day they were like new. Clean in all the nooks and crannies, even the hair was clean and combable. That's my rant. Thanks for your help with the most redundant issue in every home...cleaning!

Not a comment, a question. Have you tried and does it work to "mop" your cabinets? As I age it's hard to climb to clean cabinets and showers, if a mop works, what kind? And what cleansers?

Melissa Hi from Egypt, love your channel. Can you plz help with fake and artificial plants? Wanna clean them and bring them back to how they looked before, Thanks ❤️

Oh your kitty is adorable 😺

Hi Chevonne how're you doing today

Respectfully....that zote bar is a game changer. In hot water it makes whites bright without clorine bleach. And def removes odors. Been using it for yrs..... Using borax works for cleaning your tub, sink and boosts whatever clothes detergent you use. Even if you use these products to wash by hand they still work. To each their own. Even grated Ivory soap, it leaves a nice scent behind.😊💕

Do you have any videos on cleaning horizontal and vertical blinds or cleaning window sills and getting perfect clean corners, and getting rid of cobwebs?

I'm still trying to figure out what they were going to do with the burned stain from an egg? Lol. But I don't want to know badly enough to go watch the video from whoever it was you were reacting to. But it was nice to watch Molly chill for a couple of minutes while you held her.

Carbon soot can be used to absorb quite a lot. Buying activated charcoal is way easier

@@EmorettaRobinson activated charcoal has a great ability to bond, so it's often used in products that claim to draw out impurities. I use charcoal micellar water to remove my makeup. Beats the pants off regular micellar water from the same brand

That is the chillest cat I've ever seen lol

Hi Wendy how're you doing and your family hope they're all doing great

Stain Devils is really good for specific stain removal on fabric. I have the one specific to oil stains for 2 reasons, 1) I cook a lot and get cooking oil stains on my clothes sometimes and 2) I change my own oil on my car and work on my car a lot.

Set the record skraight! 🧼 👏🏿

Thank you for this!!!! I have never had luck with vinegar and baking soda. It smells and cleans nothing.

Hand on the hip... I kinda like sassy stern Melissa 🔥😄

Sometimes I see these hacks and I'm like you just made a task with 3 steps.... turn into 18 steps???? that makes me have to clean more???????? some are pretty useful though, ngl also kitties are life

I tried the baking soda and vinegar hack on the bottom of my SS pots, but they didn’t get clean. I was sure I did something wrong, so I watched several other videos with different techniques using the same ingredients with no luck. I’m glad to know it wasn’t me.

What are your thoughts on The Pink Stuff?

I agree. I wish there were. I have yet to come across a natural fibre that can do what it does. Trust me I’ll be the first on the bandwagon!

White toothpaste is one of the best stain removers on white surfaces. I tried multiple cleaning products on a water stain on my white kitchen table, and the only thing that removed it, was toothpaste and gently brushing. I have used toothpaste to take off other stains since then. But in general on white surfaces, not faucets.

The reason that the car wax isn't approved for the shower/tub isn't about the enclosed space or steam. The companies won't approve it because it will make your shower and tub **slippery.** They don't want to get hit with lawsuits.

@@nursen2106 I apply it just as directed for a car. I let it dry and Buff off. When buffing of it removed soap built up and my tub looked brand new! Now it's super easy to clean. I spray it with an all purpose cleaner made of water, peppermint oil, a tsp of Alcohol when I've finished my shower or bath and simply rinse. I apply it to the outside of my appliances well. I even put it on my range. However I would not put it on a range if you have and use a self cleaning oven. The wax is made to be heat safe to around 450°F, but if you clean your oven or bake at a higher degree it could possibly cause an issue. For a range use at your own risk. It makes everything clean up easier. It's fabulous on stainless!

Finally someone debunking the whole hairspray and ink hack😂😂 I grew up hearing that one and it never worked when I had kids of my own
