I appreciate you not shaming the previous cook over the mess you found. Instead of doing that you showed excitement and glee over your cleaning experience. That was refreshing to me. Thank you for demonstrating how to properly clean an entire kitchen before Passover. Now I know how to create a clean kitchen environment for all of my Jewish friends when I want to invite them to help me cook in my kitchen. I won’t offend them nor embarrass myself by not properly cleaning the kosher way.❤ Passover blessings to you and your family.
Thank you for your kind words @CAMwaite1 I think we all have seasons in life and some seasons are there and you feel you can accomplish everything and in some seasons even cleaning a kitchen is overwhelming and cannot be tackled : who am I to judge !
That was a most thorough cleaning. Any tenant, no matter their spiritual background, would be grateful to find such a sanitized kitchen upon their arrival.
This might be a bit out of the blue, but I wanted to share something with you. I was raised without religion-in fact, I was brought up to despise it. However, I consider myself spiritual. Watching your videos from time to time brings me so much comfort. You’re such an interesting person, and I love watching your content. You present your religion in such a beautiful way that it almost makes me want to explore it myself. I’m particularly drawn to the tradition of going to the jewish bath/spa once a month-I think that’s such a beautiful tradition. Your content feels like a blend of ASMR and a loving mother’s voice, which is very healing for me. I’m also neurodivergent, and yesterday, I realized that I used you as a body double. My executive functioning can be very low at times, but your cleaning video helped me clean my house after months of paralysis. I even took a chocolate snack break at the same time you did! I just wanted to let you know that your content hits so many sweet spots for me, and I’m so grateful for you. Hugs from a 28-year-old woman living in Copenhagen.
I’m in my 70’s now, but when I deep-cleaned when my children were younger, it was so satisfying. There’s something cathartic and relaxing about deep-cleaning. I sometimes overwhelmed myself but learned to take one thing at a time. When I realized that God was watching everything, everywhere, and everyone, it helped to be more intentional and forgiving. Much love from SoCal!
The people who own this rental are super lucky! I can’t imagine going to clean between tenants and finding new contact paper and so much spotless cleanliness.
What surprised me the most was learning you can kasher your own kitchen! I thought someone had to be hired to do so, as is the local minhag here. You did such an excellent job! I am not surprised you did it yourself, as you are truly a humble individual who takes great care in providing a Jewish life for your family. I love your videos! They really speak to anyone, regardless of their level of observance or socio economic status. I’ll be honest, many UA-camrs are not relatable due to their 2000 sq ft marble, granite, perfect kitchens with 3 ovens and 3 dishwashers. Even though you are a doctor-you feel so real and humble. Your videos always make me feel better and allow me to become more observant. I never walk away feeling like I am “not enough.” I have a tremendous amount of respect for you!
Hi friend! I hope you are well. Miss you greatly!! I hope you will upload very soon. The YT world is surely dark without your bright personality 😊. Sending love!!
I liked that you explained the absorbtion of non-kosher into surfaces. Although certainly aware of how bacteria invades these surfaces, it was so interesting to think about it from a kosher kitchen perspective. Excellent cleaning! I am Swedish and we have a real obsession with cleanliness. Thank you for sharing so openly and with such a positivity.
I love a clean kitchen. I appreciate your attitude so much. Instead of grumbling or complaining about having to do so much work, you look upon it as satisfying and almost a treasure hunt, discovering dirt that needs to be gone. Even with gloves, I’m guessing that your hands will need lots of lotion afterwards.
awww thank you Maureen! i truly appreciate your comment :) I try to put a positive spin even when i do tasks that are not so pretty to do ! And you are absolutely right, i do see it as a treasure hunt and every time i find something , i am so grateful this hard work has paid off!
You’ve given me some motivation to do a deep clean of my kitchen. I’m a hospital based RN in South Florida where there is a large Jewish population. As a non-Jewish person, I want to be respectful when working with people who have traditions different from my own. I find your videos to be educational and I love your inspirational message at the end. Thank you for sharing!
I didn’t know about food residue and unleavened food products from appliances making things non kosher. As a Catholic I love watching your videos. I’m motivated to get my chaotic life in balance and making faith present in my tasks. I would love to be kosher in my kitchen as part of cleanliness habit. Love your positivity! Stay blessed !
Hi Sarah! I found this video to be so satisfying! I love deep cleaning, I feel accomplished and relieved after I have done a thorough cleaning. I always look forward to videos and I always learn something new! Shabbat Shalom to you and your family!
Hello I was just wondering where have you been me and my mom have missed watching your videos so much I hope you and your family are okay and I hope we will see something new from you soon your videos and your voice always have such a calming effect on me hoping that you will be back soon and sending you lots of love and blessings for me and my mom❤🙏✝️
I love a clean kitchen! What was surprising to me was pouring the boiling water on the counters to make them kosher. How satisfying it must have been to see this kitchen so clen and shiny after your hard work Sara! Blessings to you and your family!
I was surprised about the pouring of boiling water on the countertops. I just might listen to this again when I next clean my refrigerator or other disaster zones in my kitchen. You put a spin of satisfaction and a feeling of refreshing renewal in making a mess disappear. Thank you.
Hi Sara! Just dropping by to say that I hope you and your family are doing well and tell you that you're videos are definitely missed! God bless you and hoping to see you soon ❤
Nope. Nope. Just nope. You did this in a dress. A long dress. And didn't make a mess out of yourself. What are you? Superwoman? I couldn't get near that job without a grubby T shirt and blue jeans. Seriously, Sara, this was awesome. My cleaning abilities are practically nonexistent secondary to severe rheumatoid and osteo arthridities. I was imagining it was my kitchen you were cleaning, and it was so relaxing. God bless you for making my day better.
Holy smokes! Management company did a terrible job enforcing / doing a proper move-out clean after the prior tenant! Wow!! As a property manager, I make sure that an apartment (specially the appliances) is / are spotless for a new tenant, doing exactly what you did in your video (minus the kosher requirements of letting it rest / followed by the heat treatment). I am not Jewish, but I love your channel for learning about Jewish culture / practices. I always learn a lot! Thanks for the awesome content!
What was most surprising ? Seeing a medical doctor do such a menial task! Where I live, doctors are very wealthy and would definitely hire someone to do this. You do a fabulous job, though, and probably wouldn’t be able to find someone as thorough❤ as you are!
i hear you, many pople have help at home to do these tasks, For me, These kind of detailed work , because they are related to keeping kosher, i would not let someone else do that work as i would always have doubts
I don't see this as a menial task at all regardless of someone's profession. It is done for the love and care of a family, this is not something that is menial
I didn’t realize how dirty a refrigerator or other appliances could be so dirty. I always thought I kept a clean house before I became disabled but my goodness this is an eye opener. Thank you for sharing. ❤
If you don't have guidelines to hand for how to clean if someone is immune compromised or severely allergic, koshering gets you most of the way there without much money spent on fancy chemicals. Glad to see the process. Being able to prioritise cleanliness is a privilege and a necessity, it's interesting to come along.
The most surprising to me was pouring the boiling water on the sink and counter tops. I never would have thought that step was necessary. I admire your stamina for doing this level of cleaning, you made me tired just watching.
What can I say?? You inspire me and my husband is laughing because I have been cleaning all day. . I have cleaned my kitchen from top to bottom. i have boiled water . And I have sprayed because we live in Florida and well you know . Jeanne A Diener Stark and I live in Clearwater , Fla . My adopted great grandpa was Gustave Diener and he married a sweet Catholic gal . Love conquers . I love your channel
I LOVE A CLEAN KITCHEN. As a Christian, I had no idea the depth to which you must go to prepare for Passover! Over the years, I have heard some of this, but it was fascinating to see all the steps. What surprised me most? I guess that you cleaned under and behind appliances-areas where your Kosher food would presumably never touch! This ritual takes Spring cleaning to a whole different level. Thank you for sharing this video. 🕊️
I love a clean kitchen .....but now I am thinking about how dirty mine must be even when I think it's clean. 😄 A good thorough cleaning session is theraputic. There's such a feeling of accomplishment when everything is totally fresh. While cleaning it's fun to think of how I can do the same within myself. Where is muck hiding in my mind and soul?
I love a clean kitchen! I remember as a child and teenager going over to my Oma's house with my family to do DEEP spring cleaning. My sister and I were in charge of cleaning everything from the counter top down, my mom did everything from the counter up and Opa and Dad worked outside.
Getting a new to us, second hand stove tomorrow, gave up and bought one ourselves since the landlord seems uninterested, after spending today trying to clean the hood and space where the old stove came out. We rent and the space has never been properly cleaned before because of health/disability so it was quite the task, I'm still not completely happy but am at least confident it will not contaminate my food so that's something! I can not be as excited to clean the new one, but maybe I'll turn this back on to lift my spirits about it. Reminding myself that once its all cleaned up I can pull my canner down and get back to seeing that my people get real food again instead of the ready to eat stuff all three households I was regularly feeding have been dependent on since my kitchen went down 6 months ago! So cleaning the new stove is actually a very happy thing!
I just found your channel yesterday via your most recent Challah video! What a gift you are through UA-cam for the whole world! Many years ago, my husband of the time and I lived in Memphis, TN and we’re studying for our Orthodox conversion. What an amazing several years experience. 💜 Unfortunately, my then husband backed out one week prior to Mikvah as he didn’t agree with laws of Nidah. 🥴🤢Two decades later, I still feel blessed to have lived amongst such a lovely community, that of Orthodox Judaism. 💜 UA-cam didn’t exist during that time but now I can be reminded of it all.
Sweet Clancy, Awwww thank you ! I am so so happy you reached out to me today. I am touched by your story and like you know everything in life has a reason and G.pd had another plans for you ❤️ I am so happy to hear you have fond memories of your time in our community and you can rekindle your relationship with us through UA-cam I hope to hear from you soon ❤️❤️ Shabbat shalom my lovely new friend !
I love a clean kitchen. I love koshering the kitchen for Pesach. I remember vividly helping my great grandmother do hers . There was always sunlight, music and treats afterwards. 😊My daughters and granddaughters love this time as well.
I’m not kosher but did you want to come deep clean my tiny kitchen? That was so thorough and satisfying. And I saw those little wormies from under the stove😝
I am not Jew but God I do love a clean space. Thank you for so many insight on how to clean thoroughly. I will be following your steps in my next move to a new home.❤
I love a clean kitchen. I don't think mine's ever going to be that clean though. To be honest! That was a wonderful thorough job. Actually kind of relaxing. Plus I love your narration.
Loved this so much...my Mother recently passed away and I find myself responsible for all aspects of her estate including a home that she has lived in for 40 years...your videos give me courage...calm and hope thank you so much❤❤❤
We are not Jewish, but in the 1950s, my mother cleaned her kitchen like this every Friday after the evening meal, sometimes continuing until after midnight until she was finished. In the 1950s, a refrigerator had to be defrosted, and this was part of the weekly ritual.
The 1950’s, my mom had me do this in the 90’s, as a child. Watching this video, took me back to those days, but also got me thinking, I need to go back to this, cause I sho nuff laid this type of cleaning to the side.
you are so sweet! I like putting the youtubers i like in the background when i clean : it is like listening to a friend thank you again for being here! xoxox!
I love a clean kitchen. However, I have major depressive disorder as well as CRPS and ME/CFS. So my kitchen would probably make you run away! Haha I’m not proud of it, but sometimes, especially in a major depressive episode, it can take a week or more for me to clean it. Even then, I don’t have the mental or physical strength to do it thoroughly. I envy your motivation and dedication!
Sara, thank you for being you. Hashem uses you to represent such a beautiful way of life. I have loved all of your videos and play and replay them over and over. I will be praying for all of your family for his blessings and wisdom. And thanks for saying you are loved and your enough just who you are. Love your sweet voice and precious face. Thank you also for your obedience to his service and reading and following the word of the Almighty.
Wow! That was an impressive cleaning session! I never would have thought to take the brackets off on the inside of the fridge! You must be exhausted! 😉
Oven rack hack is to put the racks in a big black trash bag. Spray them with cleaner and seal it for 20 minutes. The gunk slides off so easy! 😁😍. Thank you for this helpful video.❤
I loved this video, because even though I am not an Orthodox Jew, I do these exact steps to deep clean my kitchen/home (including the boiling water!) I absolutely adore your channel; your grace and beautiful soul come through in each video and they not only inspire me, but bring me a wonderful sense of peace. Thank you for that gift ❤
I am Jewish through my mom. However, I am a Christian. You did a magnificent job on your new kitchen. You have taught me to look in places I never thought of to clean my kitchen. Thank you.
I love a clean kitchen! I do this annually for Passover, and generally do not find anywhere near the amount of grime you did. Looks like this kitchen was long overdue for a cleaning.
I love a clean kitchen! And thank you for all the kitchen cleaning tips. I’m not Jewish but you made me want a kosher kitchen 😂. So very kind of you to make this kitchen kosher. What surprised me the most was how much dirt you found, especially in the fridge.
Well done on that job - looks like a new kitchen. I need to give mine a bit of a "do" and this is the encouragement I needed - dont suppose you fancy a quick trip to 🇬🇧 to give me a hand?? 😅. Thanks for all you do, it really is interesting to have a sneak peek into your life. Look after yourself ❤
With pleasure I can come over and help! We just have to find a way to tie it to a medical conference so I can explain my absence to my patients and work 😅😅😅
Not Jewish but completely addicted to your channel!! You have a wonderful, soothing voice and fantastic recipes and tips. I have learned SO MUCH about Sephardic Jewish culture, I love it!
I thoroughly enjoyed this cleaning video 🤗 I am not Jewish but this is how I clean my kitchen and how I helped our daughter clean the kitchen/home we recently bought for her until we did renovations. Such a calming and comforting feeling to live in a clean home🙏🏼💗
I love your videos. They are very educational even for someone who was Jewish religious Orthodox. Thank you so much for the effort you put into these video.
I thought I was a deep cleaner, and I had kosher training in the military, but WOW. You get into the deep, dark corners! Always a pleasure to watch your videos, Doctor.
I love a clean kitchen! Sara, thank you for being such an inspiration. I am not Jewish (despite having a Yiddish name; I confuse a lot of people!), but I have loved learning about Judaism through your channel the past two years. You encourage me to live a better, more meaningful life. I am going to be inspired by this video and use it to keep focused on a deep spring cleaning of my kitchen. 💕
I love a clean kitchen. My oh my, that was a lot of work for you! 💪 But you nailed it. 👍 As I am not jewish I don’t need to clean the way you did and I‘m not ashamed to say that I‘m glad, because I am not a good housekeeper and never was. I love watching your videos because I love listening to your voice and I learn so much about your very rich religion and culture. Thank you for all the insights you give to us! 😃
I love a clean kitchen. The heating & boiling water. Also the good attitude. It is good to see home making as an honored & satisfying profession in today's world of daytime empty neighborhoods!
The gunk in the fridge is an accumulation of stuff that has leaked or seeped from their containers. Like juices, milk, jams, jellies, etc... Cherry juice is a stickler for this for some reason the seals on the jars aren't the greatest. I hope this helps you and I hope you have a great Passover.🎉✌️
I am not Jewish but I appreciate learning about a kosher kitchen and gaining new insights in cleaning. Watching you clean the kitchen reminds me of my mom. I enjoyed cleaning with her growing up because we bonded as we cleaned together. I will have to take a page out of your book and be cheerful when cleaning ("The fridge is a gift that keeps on giving!" 😀)
You turned a dark, grungy room into a bright, beautiful place to cook! My favourite part was the shelf paper in the pantry. Worn shelves became beautiful and best of all clean! I do love a clean kitchen!
The absolute glee you have in your voice to do something like clean is infectious and it has given me the resolve to tackle my non Kosher but in need of a Kosher cleaning kitchen. ❤ from the U.S.
I LOVE A CLEAN KITCHEN. ❤ Absolutely loved this, like I said being in wheelchair it is harder to clean as I struggle with pain. But my husband and kids do try, but its not how I used to do it so I do get anxiety over it. But do my best to teach my kiddos all I know. The part that shocked me was leaving the hobs on for half an hour to cleanse. But I suppose it does make sense. Certainly learning alot xxx
your kiddos are so blessed to have you to teach them and prepare them for this part of their life! may G.od always protect you and bless your family xoxox
I love a clean kitchen! (and I really do) this comes at such a perfect time as I've been wondering how I can make my kitchen kosher. I am a student of Judaism with the intention to convert in the future bzH, and I want my kitchen to be kosher. your channel has been so helpful to me especially because I want the Sephardic customs as well, thank you for pointing out the differences between Sephardi and Ashkenazi customs, I love learning about the differences!
I LOVE A CLEAN KITCHEN, and the house, period. Having a sense of humor helps a ton!!! I haven't been here for awhile, but know that you're in my prayers, and that you're not too tired from cleaning the kitchen!!!
This beautifully clean. I watched a professional house cleaner put baking sheets in the oven on the self cleaning cycle and the browned burned on gunk came completely off. There looked new!
This video was amazing. The thing that surprised me the most is that you clean everything again with heat after you finish the deep cleaning. I learned a great deal. Thank you.
I love a clean kitchen! This video motivated me to start cleaning out my chametz that I’ve been putting off. You do your mitzvot with joy and it inspires me to do the same, instead of feeling drudgery.
I love a clean Kitchen! I have moved 30+ times in my life (not Jewish, so never had to Kosher our kitchen though) and quite frequently we'd find things behind the stove / fridge in our next rental. It was always like a treasure hunt. We replaced our countertops when we bought our current home in 2017 (well, we did the kitchen work in 2020) and we found a random knife in our left-hand sink drain pipe when we removed the sink as part of that process! That was the most surprising thing I remember finding! We also did a major cleaning of our fridge a year or so ago due to a spill and I never thought about removing the shelf / drawer brackets. Now I'm wondering what's under there, lol.
I love a clean kitchen. I always tell my non-Jewish coworkers that Passover cleaning is spring cleaning on steroids. 😂
Looolllll
So true!
I appreciate you not shaming the previous cook over the mess you found. Instead of doing that you showed excitement and glee over your cleaning experience.
That was refreshing to me.

I agree! Wasn't this a lovely approach and a joy to watch? I feel excited to go over my own kitchen!

The using of dawn power wash &the pink stuff surprised me the most. Steel wool & covering surfaces did not surprise me.
I just found your channel yesterday via your most recent Challah video! What a gift you are through UA-cam for the whole world!
Many years ago, my husband of the time and I lived in Memphis, TN and we’re studying for our Orthodox conversion. What an amazing several years experience. 💜
Unfortunately, my then husband backed out one week prior to Mikvah as he didn’t agree with laws of Nidah. 🥴🤢Two decades later, I still feel blessed to have lived amongst such a lovely community, that of Orthodox Judaism. 💜
UA-cam didn’t exist during that time but now I can be reminded of it all.
Sweet Clancy,
Awwww thank you !
I am so so happy you reached out to me today.
I am touched by your story and like you know everything in life has a reason and G.pd had another plans for you ❤️
I am so happy to hear you have fond memories of your time in our community and you can rekindle your relationship with us through UA-cam
I hope to hear from you soon ❤️❤️
Shabbat shalom my lovely new friend !
I love a clean kitchen. I love koshering the kitchen for Pesach. I remember vividly helping my great grandmother do hers . There was always sunlight, music and treats afterwards. 😊My daughters and granddaughters love this time as well.
I’m not kosher but did you want to come deep clean my tiny kitchen? That was so thorough and satisfying. And I saw those little wormies from under the stove😝
I am not Jew but God I do love a clean space. Thank you for so many insight on how to clean thoroughly. I will be following your steps in my next move to a new home.❤
Thank you ❤️
I love a clean kitchen. I don't think mine's ever going to be that clean though. To be honest! That was a wonderful thorough job. Actually kind of relaxing. Plus I love your narration.
Loved this so much...my Mother recently passed away and I find myself responsible for all aspects of her estate including a home that she has lived in for 40 years...your videos give me courage...calm and hope thank you so much❤❤❤
We are not Jewish, but in the 1950s, my mother cleaned her kitchen like this every Friday after the evening meal, sometimes continuing until after midnight until she was finished. In the 1950s, a refrigerator had to be defrosted, and this was part of the weekly ritual.
The 1950’s, my mom had me do this in the 90’s, as a child. Watching this video, took me back to those days, but also got me thinking, I need to go back to this, cause I sho nuff laid this type of cleaning to the side.
Your Mom went hard core! I bet she was a good cook too.
I am not Jewish but your cleaning is like my mom’s cleaning before every holidays 😇 I love it 🥰
Sara, we would never put you in the background ❤.
you are so sweet! I like putting the youtubers i like in the background when i clean : it is like listening to a friend
thank you again for being here!
xoxox!
Would you mind giving examples of UA-camrs you like? I trust your taste :-)
Yes, I would also be interested in knowing what UA-camrs you listen to. Many thanks 😁
I love a clean kitchen. However, I have major depressive disorder as well as CRPS and ME/CFS. So my kitchen would probably make you run away! Haha I’m not proud of it, but sometimes, especially in a major depressive episode, it can take a week or more for me to clean it. Even then, I don’t have the mental or physical strength to do it thoroughly. I envy your motivation and dedication!
Rewatching...playing your videos while preparing for shabbat feels like community. Thinking of you and praying all is well. ❤ from Montana
Sara, thank you for being you. Hashem uses you to represent such a beautiful way of life. I have loved all of your videos and play and replay them over and over. I will be praying for all of your family for his blessings and wisdom. And thanks for saying you are loved and your enough just who you are. Love your sweet voice and precious face. Thank you also for your obedience to his service and reading and following the word of the Almighty.
Wow! That was an impressive cleaning session! I never would have thought to take the brackets off on the inside of the fridge! You must be exhausted! 😉
It’s was a satisfying workout 😅😅😅
I love a clean kitchen! :)
“I love a clean kitchen” yes. This is so beautiful.
Ok. Off I go to Dollar Tree for some toothbrushes and cleaning supplies. You’re so sweet! Thank you for all the tips.
Oven rack hack is to put the racks in a big black trash bag. Spray them with cleaner and seal it for 20 minutes. The gunk slides off so easy! 😁😍.
Thank you for this helpful video.❤
I love a clean kitchen. I was so surprised that boiling water was used to clean the counters! That kitchen is so clean now it’s beautiful ❤
I loved this video, because even though I am not an Orthodox Jew, I do these exact steps to deep clean my kitchen/home (including the boiling water!) I absolutely adore your channel; your grace and beautiful soul come through in each video and they not only inspire me, but bring me a wonderful sense of peace. Thank you for that gift ❤
I am Jewish through my mom. However, I am a Christian. You did a magnificent job on your new kitchen. You have taught me to look in places I never thought of to clean my kitchen. Thank you.
If your mother was Jewish then you are 100% Jewish according to Jewish law!
I love a clean kitchen! I do this annually for Passover, and generally do not find anywhere near the amount of grime you did. Looks like this kitchen was long overdue for a cleaning.
this is a rental unit ... people who rent (and there are exceptions) often do not take care of the unit as much as the person who owns it would.
I love a clean kitchen! And thank you for all the kitchen cleaning tips. I’m not Jewish but you made me want a kosher kitchen 😂. So very kind of you to make this kitchen kosher. What surprised me the most was how much dirt you found, especially in the fridge.
I am with you: The fridge was very satisfying once it was done looll ❤️❤️❤️
I'm floored at how much food bits get leftover!
Thank you for giving me the motivation I needed to clean my kitchen today! I think that looks like barbecue sauce you found behind the bracket.
you've got this!
and yes BBQ sauce would make sense!!!
I miss you!! Haven't seen a new video in a while. You were always my favorite ❤
Shalom, I got my coffee, and note book in hand, I’m ready🌞🌷💅🏾❤️
Well done on that job - looks like a new kitchen. I need to give mine a bit of a "do" and this is the encouragement I needed - dont suppose you fancy a quick trip to 🇬🇧 to give me a hand?? 😅. Thanks for all you do, it really is interesting to have a sneak peek into your life. Look after yourself ❤
With pleasure I can come over and help!
We just have to find a way to tie it to a medical conference so I can explain my absence to my patients and work 😅😅😅
Oh yes I be happy if you could help me with my cleaning here in the states also.
Not Jewish but completely addicted to your channel!! You have a wonderful, soothing voice and fantastic recipes and tips. I have learned SO MUCH about Sephardic Jewish culture, I love it!
Her voice has a smile!❤
I thoroughly enjoyed this cleaning video 🤗 I am not Jewish but this is how I clean my kitchen and how I helped our daughter clean the kitchen/home we recently bought for her until we did renovations. Such a calming and comforting feeling to live in a clean home🙏🏼💗
Wow! Kudos for your braveness to clean that kitchen. 🤩
you are so sweet , thank you sweetie!
I love your videos. They are very educational even for someone who was Jewish religious Orthodox. Thank you so much for the effort you put into these video.
i am so happy you are here and if i may, Happy Passover however you decide to celebrate it xoxox
I thought I was a deep cleaner, and I had kosher training in the military, but WOW. You get into the deep, dark corners!
Always a pleasure to watch your videos, Doctor.
I love a clean kitchen! Sara, thank you for being such an inspiration. I am not Jewish (despite having a Yiddish name; I confuse a lot of people!), but I have loved learning about Judaism through your channel the past two years. You encourage me to live a better, more meaningful life. I am going to be inspired by this video and use it to keep focused on a deep spring cleaning of my kitchen. 💕
I love a clean kitchen.
My oh my, that was a lot of work for you! 💪
But you nailed it. 👍
As I am not jewish I don’t need to clean the way you did and I‘m not ashamed to say that I‘m glad, because I am not a good housekeeper and never was.
I love watching your videos because I love listening to your voice and I learn so much about your very rich religion and culture.
Thank you for all the insights you give to us! 😃
Another great video. I now need to tear my refrigerator apart; I had NO idea of those "hidden" spots! I love a clean kitchen.
Glad it was helpful!
Same
I’m not Jewish but I do appreciate a good deep clean!
Limpeza super detalhada!! Parabéns!
I love a clean kitchen ❤
I love a clean kitchen.
The boiling water treatment was the most surprising to me.
I didn't know about this custom.
I love a clean kitchen. The heating & boiling water. Also the good attitude. It is good to see home making as an honored & satisfying profession in today's world of daytime empty neighborhoods!
The gunk in the fridge is an accumulation of stuff that has leaked or seeped from their containers. Like juices, milk, jams, jellies, etc... Cherry juice is a stickler for this for some reason the seals on the jars aren't the greatest. I hope this helps you and I hope you have a great Passover.🎉✌️
I am not Jewish but I appreciate learning about a kosher kitchen and gaining new insights in cleaning. Watching you clean the kitchen reminds me of my mom. I enjoyed cleaning with her growing up because we bonded as we cleaned together. I will have to take a page out of your book and be cheerful when cleaning ("The fridge is a gift that keeps on giving!" 😀)
You turned a dark, grungy room into a bright, beautiful place to cook! My favourite part was the shelf paper in the pantry. Worn shelves became beautiful and best of all clean! I do love a clean kitchen!
I love a clean kitchen....going to start this week cleaning mine for Pesach! Chodesh Tov/Shavua Tov love from Israel 🇮🇱
The absolute glee you have in your voice to do something like clean is infectious and it has given me the resolve to tackle my non Kosher but in need of a Kosher cleaning kitchen. ❤ from the U.S.
I have some serious cooked on grease on my stove I haven’t been able to get off, but now I know how to! Thanks so much for the tips!
So happy it could help!
The oven cleaner is AMAZING!
Always test it on a small surface 1st :)
I'm learning so many tips.I never cleaned my house this way.
I LOVE A CLEAN KITCHEN. ❤ Absolutely loved this, like I said being in wheelchair it is harder to clean as I struggle with pain. But my husband and kids do try, but its not how I used to do it so I do get anxiety over it. But do my best to teach my kiddos all I know. The part that shocked me was leaving the hobs on for half an hour to cleanse. But I suppose it does make sense. Certainly learning alot xxx
your kiddos are so blessed to have you to teach them and prepare them for this part of their life!
may G.od always protect you and bless your family
xoxox
I love a clean kitchen! (and I really do) this comes at such a perfect time as I've been wondering how I can make my kitchen kosher. I am a student of Judaism with the intention to convert in the future bzH, and I want my kitchen to be kosher. your channel has been so helpful to me especially because I want the Sephardic customs as well, thank you for pointing out the differences between Sephardi and Ashkenazi customs, I love learning about the differences!
I love a clean kitchen! What surprised me most is how much joy you have in everything you do! Thank you for bringing me joy! ❤
I agree! Her joy in everyday tasks is inspiring.
We miss you… rewatching. Your voice is so soothing and love your videos! Hope you are well!! Post soon 😊
I LOVE A CLEAN KITCHEN, and the house, period. Having a sense of humor helps a ton!!! I haven't been here for awhile, but know that you're in my prayers, and that you're not too tired from cleaning the kitchen!!!
This beautifully clean. I watched a professional house cleaner put baking sheets in the oven on the self cleaning cycle and the browned burned on gunk came completely off. There looked new!
This video was amazing. The thing that surprised me the most is that you clean everything again with heat after you finish the deep cleaning. I learned a great deal. Thank you.
I love a clean kitchen!
This video motivated me to start cleaning out my chametz that I’ve been putting off.
You do your mitzvot with joy and it inspires me to do the same, instead of feeling drudgery.
I love a clean Kitchen!
I have moved 30+ times in my life (not Jewish, so never had to Kosher our kitchen though) and quite frequently we'd find things behind the stove / fridge in our next rental. It was always like a treasure hunt.
We replaced our countertops when we bought our current home in 2017 (well, we did the kitchen work in 2020) and we found a random knife in our left-hand sink drain pipe when we removed the sink as part of that process! That was the most surprising thing I remember finding! We also did a major cleaning of our fridge a year or so ago due to a spill and I never thought about removing the shelf / drawer brackets. Now I'm wondering what's under there, lol.
I love clean kitchen
I love a clean kitchen (but I outsource that!). Missed you Sara xx
