    Hi Brandon - Can you do a video or overview of what we should be cleaning in our homes on a daily, weekly, monthly basis, etc? I know its different for everyone but a baseline would be so helpful coming from a professional like yourself and I respect your input.

    The house I moved into recently has slightly grubby baseboards (job not done yet). I can't bend down much so those are great tips! I may have to do a couple passes with the cleaner. I did the vacuuming and dusting to no avail. I actually am not impressed with Swiffer dusters. The only purpose I find them sometimes useful for is dusting knickknacks without moving everything, and electronics.

    Gee I never would have thought of using a duster or getting down on my hands & knees with a rag! Radical! I was so totally blown away I couldn't manage to watch the rest of the video. OK, to be fair, the rubber band around the broom was a great idea, except that it tends to just slide off when you dampen the cloth.

    For those of us who are calendar-oriented: how often would you schedule this cleaning task? Every quarter? (Maybe any cleaning task should be based first on the level of unclean something is, but it would be good to have a general idea of how often is typical for this one.)

    • @lmack6596
      @lmack6596 2 місяці тому +2

      I guess it's up to you, how quickly your baseboards get dirty, and how much time& enjoy you have. For jobs like this - after I've cleaned them I guess when they will need cleaning again (e.g. 3months) and schedule that. But then I tweak it - so if after 2months, they're really dirty I know I need to do it more often than I thought. Or, if after three months, they still look fine, then I'll leave it for another month or 2. I'm slowly learning how often I need to clean different things in my home! 🧹✨

    I have massive back issues and bending in some ways causes bones in my spine to rub together, specifically my neck vertebrae. It causes a massive migraine and damage.

      If at all possible, get a well known professional cleaning company in. Save your body if you can afford it. These deep cleans at the end of a lease can be a scam, I speak from a very stressful experience where I was nearly taken to the rental tribunal, but I had all my emails showing my willingness to pay and the threatening, character assassination attempts of the real estate agency, so they backed off.It was a miracle. Take care. From Australia.
