I clean the dishwasher by taking a shower! 😂 I'm the dishwasher.
Lol same here! I only use my dish washer to dry my dishes. I was all of them by hand.
Lol I love this 😄
Lol that's good one
I'm almost positive your dishes are extremely clean because of washing them yourself. I just have never liked a dishwasher. mines the newest there is and I only use it for my rinsed dishes. I sometimes use it for my refrigerator chores and side rails but not dishes that we eat off of
@Albert Torin wth is instaportal?
Melissa, I'm not sure if you've done these yet but here are a few I would like to know:
* how to clean your oven without super strong chemicals
* properly washing and drying curtains with grommets
* cleaning stand-up fans and portable air conditioners
* tips on steam mops or steam vacuums, is it worth it to get an all in one for dog owners?
Thank you!
Hey, CMS, happy new 2024 from thousand miles away here in eastern Europe, a small country called Bulgaria. Wishing you all the blessings for this new year, may it bring you entire team joy, warmth in the heart and bravery to make your dreams come true.
I am once more getting back to this video as I'm about to do the very little to not at all favorite task of cleaning the dishwasher and I wanted to share how Melissa's trade mark intro sentene "Just a quick reminder if you haven't done already...." has warmed my heart ❤ Thank you for being so trustworthy and dedicated to what you do here, I believe I will be one of hundreds to say what a relief in my life it has been to know that whenever I need to find out or be reminded on how to really get smthg clean I have a place to go without hesitation :)
Keep up the excellent work!
Lots of thankfulness and love,
Neda
How to clean your mattress or couches like a PRO... Love all your videos.
👍🏾 great question
Great suggestion - thanks for watching Alicia!
Yep, I'd like to know as well!
*upholstered couches
she has a video on cleaning mattress
All I can think of is, does that giant yellow mug get filled with coffee?! And does it get loaded into the dishwasher?! 😂
No, we keep a separate, massive dishwasher on the other side of the kitchen...
Omg I can stop staring at the mug lol 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
How to clean out mold from window seals!!??
Yes, please!
She already have one video on it!
How to clean burnt on stains/spots on glass top stoves!
What About spiral burners
Bar Keepers Best Friend for glass stove top cleaner. It's a miracle worker. I recently bought a house from someone that was totally clueless on cleaning. Our stove and oven looked like they were never cleaned. I was able to get every spec of burnt on gunk off our glass top with bar keepers.
Yesssss! I’ve tried everything including hard scrapers and nothing gets it off.
Sassy GRITS
You don’t need a special cleaner just sprinkle some garden-variety baking soda on spots and spray mix of vinegar and water. Let sit for about until it’s dryish (~20-30min). Wipe with damp cloth. Repeat if needed. You can also take edge of sharp paring knife or razor blade gently scrape areas as needed. I only use EWG approved natural products for few cleaners we have who list all ingredients All else is baking soda, vinegar, hydrogen peroxide or rubbing alcohol. Cheap and healthy. Many brands have chemicals that have never been tested and if they have it’s very short term. Being FDA or EPA approved means nothing.
Cream cleaner and a Brillo Pad. Cheap and effective!
I just cleaned my dishwasher yesterday, omg! It has a removable filter (it is a 20 year old Frigidaire machine that came with the house when we bought it a couple years ago), and it was so gross! I have always wiped down the door, frame, and insides but that was it. Then I went online, found the make/model of my dishwasher and found out that I could remove the bottom arm as well as the filter beneath it and, 🤢! I took everything out, soaked it in a sink of hot, soapy water and took a cleaning toothbrush to it. I also discovered that the water overfill cap lifted up and wiped around and beneath that, my cloth was black! 😱 So I took some paper towels at first to get rid of the worst of the sludge, then a little baking soda and dish soap with the cleaning toothbrush until it was clean. Then I finished off by running the empty dishwasher on the sanitize cycle with a dishwasher tab and some vinegar. Whew! Now it’s sparkling clean!
Three things 1. Great video. 2. How big is that yellow cup it looks so cool 3. Can you please please do a cleaning routine vid or worksheet like what do you clean weekly daily monthly biweekly etc. Ie. When do you clean ur dishwasher weekly bi weekly which days do you do what areas or task/s etc pls n thank you !!
We use the dishwasher every single day yet we always forget to clean it! Thanks Melissa for always giving us the best tips! ✨🙌 Love all your videos as always!
Thanks for watching Kim!!
Also I need help cleaning sliding glass doors. The track can get so dirty!!!! 🤢
Erin Docherty when I do my weekly vacuuming I use the hose with the brush attachment and then wipe it wit a damp cloth
A small dust pan brush can help loosen up the dirt
But yes it gets sooo icky soo quickly
Would love her tips
You can use a special track brush or toothbrush to clean it. Or, use the pole end of a broom or mop & wrap a rag around it slightly damp & run it through the tracks 🙂
Yes, this and the window tracks since ours are white. They show everything.
Erin Docherty when I moved this property the window and door sills were gross. I boilef water and add baking soda and run that through sills then sprayed white vinegar on top. After couple of minutes i wiped with paper towel and then rinse with plain water. And for excess dirty water I used foam sponge and more
Paper towels. Voila its super clean.
I have brushes for sills for later routine cleaning also. But the one I described above I just used yesterday. If I could post photos you would see before and after. And believe me this cleaning is required only once a year. Rest of the year just wipe clean the sills and thats it.
Yes! How to clean out grime when you've ignored it for too long!?
I only think of vacuuming when it's too damp.
Side note: Your hair looks AMAZING here!
Can you pls post a video about how to clean under the stove and refrigerator easily in an apartment..which is not an easy job.. I love all your videos and all your tips and tricks really works..thankyou
I came to realize that cleaning the inside of the door at the base of the dishwasher was crucial. Our dishwasher started to leak and it was coming from underneath the door. Called serviceman and we were told that crumbs and who knows what else had accumulated under the door over time. It wasn’t something I had ever known to do but apparently it’s one of the causes for leaking out. Glad I found it early and know how to clean that part of the base door. Every dishwasher is different but not all instructions are provided in how to cleaning particular areas that may become a problem later. Thankfully ours was still under warranty. The extended warranty worked out for our good in the end. Can’t imagine cooking fish in a dishwasher but some people will try anything to make a point. Always love your videos.
Oven hood filter, comes out perfect from dishwasher. Also oven grates on pots and pans cycle. Thanks for all your great cleaning tips!
I have asked lots of people lots of times, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, how do I clean between the glass of my oven door, do I really have to take it apart, or is there an easier way?
Me too I have. Siemens double shield glass oven door
The inside part is impossible to clean without removing. It’s such a nightmare. Pls help
Hets Girl its not difficult to open them to apart and clean once every couple of months if you use oven in routine and there is no other way
Check the hand of the oven door. You normally are able to unscrew the door hand and the top of the it also. The you can take the glass out and clean the whole inside of the oven door. I did this in my own oven cleaning video showing military spouses how to clean when you have to clear a housing inspection.
oh my god yes I also have no idea how to clean this
I unscrewed mine, worked perfectly, super easy to do.
The spaces in between the tiles. Major concern. Thanks for being most informative & helpful 👌
Great video! I don’t know if you’ve done a video on how to clean the washer/dryer, but that would be great! My daughter keeps leaving her pen in her apron and now my dryer barrel is all inky, ugh...thanks for all of the inspiring videos, it’s truly appreciated 😊
Was wondering if you have a calendar of all of the “to do” cleanings around the house that need to be done every year and how often. For example clean dishwasher - monthly? Clean washer & dryer, etc. I think something like this would be amazing for a homeowner and would be a great companion to your videos.
if i remember correctly this is all in her book, .
I love these how to clean a ___ like a pro videos! So helpful and inspiring! Now I'm off to go clean my dishwasher...
I love how you don't use harsh chemicals.
We have a grimy washing machine (mainly the top lid and detergent compartments) and I sometimes wonder how to take better care of it. Will try the baking soda and detergent on the rim in any case. Thanks!
Great video!! I love watching your videos. They are so informative. I can watch them one after the other!!
Please could you review how to clean the fridge "inside" of a fridge? Not where the food goes but the back and bottom of it.
Love your content - you inspire me to get cracking and make my space sparkle!
Please make a video on - How to clean memory foam pillows ?
Ritu Sharma . Yes. They disintegrate if you put them in the washer
THANK YOU!!!! I just cleaned it exactly the way you did!! Smell is gone and dishwasher sparkling!! It's in a cycle now with vinegar 🤗
How to clean the fridge/freezer like a pro. Loved this video! Off to clean my dish washer now😉
Thank you for this video! My dishwasher needed the love and it's shiny and smells nice!
I would really like a video on how to clean baseboards in hard to reach areas - like behind toilets and such - when it’s difficult to get down on your knees (age, weight, bad knees, all of the above, or maybe I’m the only one?)
I love your videos! Thank you!
Couches and carpets or rugs like a pro please. My grandmother used to hide presents in the dishwasher so my brother when he was little wouldn't find them. He used to look in all the cupboards but only when he was about 30 did he find out her secret hiding place (the dishwasher didn't get used much back then)
This os exactly what i was looking for! Thank you. 🤗
You're very welcome Evelyn!
Hi Melissa, How to clean windows like a pro ? Both inside & outside ... Love all your videos...Thanks😊
Excellent video. Since spring will be here soon, how about tips for getting your windows - especially the dreaded bottom tracks - ready for open window season?
Laura Murphy yes yes yes!
Agreed, window tracks door tracks, tiny little spaces .... what tools do you use? Where do you get them? Best products to maintain rather than “once a year” spring clean them.
YES!!!
Lisa Doyle Yes I agree. The front of my house faces the direction of all storms we get, snow or rain. I bet there’s something that Clean My Space can come up with to help minimize the gunk.
No. Autumn starts at the beginning of March.
I don't know if this is something one would need to call a professional for, but can you do a video on how to clean the lint from the rest of the dryer? (not just the lint trap, but the vents and hoses or whatever else is back there that needs to be cleaned out). I've started to become very aware of the possibility of dryer fires and all I was ever taught to do was empty out the lint trap and nothing else.
There's a product similar to a pipe cleaner that you can buy. Maybe at Home Depot
I clean the big legos in the dishwasher and they Game out great
Video on cleaning washer and dryer
Jackie Davis if you search the videos you’ll find a few different videos.
Yes, there is a great video on the channel regarding this.
5:30 I have also heard about people cooking food in the dishwasher. Now they say to do it after you’ve cleaned it like here in this video and then run another cycle with out any dishes or detergent.
That way there won’t be any soap in the dishwasher.
But then you can cook salmon like you said or even vegetables in a mason jar(this was a tip for thanksgiving and to help save time.)
Oh my...I did not bother looking at my dishwasher manual to know it had a filter. I will make sure I put on my to do list. Thanks you Melissa!
Yes! I need help cleaning my dishwasher. Sometimes those dishwasher cleaning tabs don’t always do the trick!
Hope this helps Erin!! Thanks for watching :)
I love these specific videos
Good morning Melissa I love White dishwasher thank you for sharing 😊
I love these tips! Microwave, fridge, stove/oven?
Great tips Thanks for Sharing
Thanks for the tips 👍
Great video, can't stop looking at your hair, just beautiful !
I'd love a video on how to clean silicone molds/bakeware like a pro. When I try to clean my silicone muffins cups/ice cube trays, they always seem to retain a funny smell and it's hard to get all the bits of muffin completely off. Thanks!
Alicia Jamieson I’ve had good luck with putting them in the dishwasher. I have the same problem with silicone tray liners and always forget I can throw them in the dishwasher!
I find some gunk in the top drawer rail mechanism. I guess it is another area that would benefit from scrub down with brush and paste.
I literally cleaned my dishwasher today using your old video! This one was much more detailed, but I'm going to have to wait a whole month to try this method 😂
Definitely doing this.
Thank you for this. You read my mind, I needed a dishwasher cleaning video so badly.
Maybe a video on how and how often to clean the top of kitchen cabinets? Mine don’t go all the way up to the ceiling.
I clean the filters soaked in bleach solution and scrub with a large nail brush. Remember to clean the bottom edge of the door AND use an old cloth to clear out the gunge left in the drain at the bottom when you remove the filters. There's usually a good glassful of gunk in there as well as the odd bit of food!
I'm still trying to figure out why, when I have a completely empty dishwasher, my family still puts everything in the sink?!?!
Ugh me too!
Same!
Omg this happens to other people too? I thought it was just my family.
Sometimes... but only sometimes... it helps to put a sighn on the dishwasher saying dirty or clean. Then you know the dirty dishes can go in.
But like I said. Only sometimes.
Same.
Thank you for the video. Now I know how to clean my dishwasher efficiently.
Awesome thank u !
Would be curious about the most effective way to clean wall vents -especially ones that were painted over by previous owners
Great tips. Yaaaaaaaa, the giant yellow cup & saucer are back. 😀
How do you clean hard wood floors? I love to clean..... it makes me feel good when I can look around and see all my hard work!
I want to hear about your water dispenser for your pets. Looks awesome
Thank you so much!
Love all your videos Melissa! Please make a video how to clean like a PRO the oven
Great cleaning video AND your hair looks good too!
I never thought of cleaning the frame and gasket...guess what I'll be doing today lol. Glad I watched this.
We have plastic inside of our dishwasher and it's really scratched up and stained. When it needs to be replaced we'll buy one with stainless steel inside. The outside is stainless steel so its alot easier to clean.
Great tips! I hope you do a video on cleaning the Instant Pot.
I always refer to CLEAN MY SPACE for cleaning tips. It is very useful in maintaining our house.
Love your videos. I would like to know how to clean mold on windows also.
Relaxation spa bath lmao omg I love you
Thnxxxxx really helpful 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
TFS!! Hahaha!!! Salmon?!? Interesting! I would love to know how to dust like a pro, clean vinyl floors like a pro and how to clean a bathroom lime a pro!
Your hair is AMAZING
❤️ your jacket/shall!!
This is great info on how to clean dishwasher. How do I remove stains or burnt places from pans?
Hi Melissa, thank you for sharing this video. I followed the exact same process except keeping vinegar in the top rack(I ran out of vinegar). It caused a lot of suds and overflowed from my dishwasher. What could I do the next time to avoid this from happening? Does using vinegar help with the suds?
Thanks for making this video. That looks like the inside of our Kenmore dishwasher which is only a couple of years old.
My mum quite often used to cook salmon in the dishwasher - it was wonderful (I'm a vegan now so haven't tried it myself)
Thank you awesome video. I’m up to the task. I would like to learn how to clean microwave the proper way. Thank you
I needed this video. I'm doing my deep cleaning next weekend
Good stuff!
I would really love to know how to clean a carpet scrubber " like a pro". I clean mine but I would greatly appreciate a "how to" video on how to do it like a professional would. I use mine a lot and I want to not only extend the life of it,but I want to ensure that I'm CLEANING my carpet ...not adding to the yuck and muck😝
Thank you for all your tips!
The oddest things I have ran thru my dishwasher are sewing items, ie...scissors, stilletos, sewing feet, bobbin holders, etc. when I quit smoking 3 years ago. Worked like a charm! (just let all those items set out on a towel or something until really, really dry!
How to clean a jacuzzi tub! Preferably with natural diy ingredients that is very effective on the jet tubes biofilm. Tried the bleach thing but didn't see the best results, although I may have not have used enough or let it sit long enough. I'd love to learn some or your pro tips on this topic. Love your channel btw!!🤗
When I saw your video I had just been thinking it was time to run some baking soda and vinegar through the dishwasher which I do from time to time. Then I saw you cleaning the frame etc. I thought, "I don't think I've ever done that!" Was I blind? Omg, the crud! In my (very weak) defense it is a very old off white dishwasher so maybe not as noticeable? Anyway, thank you for this video! I now have a lovely, sparkling clean (not so off white) dishwasher!
I'd like to see a clean like a pro video on white ovens, baseboards & microfiber couch & cushions
Sliding door and window tracks are the bane of my existence since I moved to the Pacific Northwest! I grew up in Sacramento and it was not this damp so we could just vacuum; that's not good enough here. They are damp year-round!
The hat that I wear when I'm out walking or running really soaks up the sweat and eventually gets hard and crusty. I put in over a bowl that is about the same size as my head (so the hat keeps its shape) and wash it on the top rack. Works great!
Weirdest thing I’ve cleaned in my dishwasher are the burner covers from my stove. Ive been doing it for years and they haven’t rusted, so I’m going to keep doing it! 😂
I would love to see videos on cleaning the oven and cleaning the bathroom and of course how to clean the shower heads in the bathroom. Thanks again.
How to clean wicker furniture like a pro!.....love ur videos!!
You’re a life saver lol thanks
I love your videos. I need to clean my humidifier. Any suggestions?
I love this series! Xxx (washing machine, please) xx
Pet beds, light fixtures, popcorn ceiling, pianos/musical instruments, camera equipment, railings.
Baseball caps are top rack dishwasher safe. They come out clean and it gets out sweat stains and odors.
What cleaning product you use whit baseball caps? Isn't regular dishwasher detergent too harsh to the cap?
@@tuikkur.5655 Just regular dish washer soap. I have never had a problem at all.
@@thatssassy9697 Thank you so much for answering me! I tried this using a half of dishwasher tablet and it worked out really fine! 😃😚 YAY!
My sons toys have gone in the dishwasher! Suggestions: power washing video outside of the home for spring cleaning! I also love the car cleaning videos. We are due for that for sure! Pool cleaning anything videos. Thanks!
So, we have a cement floors in our garage and basement and would like to know how to clean them properly... and I really love this video :)
Hats and shoes. they come out perfectly
Thanks for this information. I have found that my dishwasher has an odor. I’ve tried natural products like baking soda or vinegar I have even tried commercial products like Refresh and still after I’ve cleaned the dishwasher several weeks later, the odor returns. FYI I always rinse the dishes first. Any suggestions as to why this could be happening or what I can do?
How do you clean mini-blinds when they get grimey? Like if you have them in the kitchen and they pick up that sticky grease.
One thing I( noticed that you didnt work on was the door seal on the bottom of the inner hinge area. I have given that a wipe previously and found it is black with gunge . Horrifying at first , then keep on doing it until its finally clean. I also clean( occasionally) the arms the baskets slide out on and in the side of my Whirlpool dishwasher , we have the filling vent ....that gets a good bush too.
I was looking to see if anyone has noticed this problem! After numerous cleanings I finally discovered that the smell in the dishwasher was coming from where the bottom of the door meets the inside of the unit - the whole length of the door. It was full of very gross, smelly gunk. I clean it regularly now - no more smell!
I think that was what she was referring to when she said about the brown grungy drips along the bottom.
rubberdc you are right that is worst part. I always take care of cleaning it and occassionally wipe it.
This is how my Kenmore serviceman told me to clean my Kenmore. Once a month put 1/4 cup Tang in the bottom and 1 tablespoon in the detergent door and run a regular cycle. (It’s the citric acid that does the job). He stressed that you DON’T want to wash the gaskets, because it will ruin them. I’m curious if Kenmore central told you that you COULD wash the gaskets.
Your hair looks fantastic
Omg that cup is hilarious lol
