Weird. How people are mocking Rachel for sweeping and mopping daily! I am an Indian and we sweep and mop our homes everyday :) It's an excellent practice to keep home clean and dust free :) Love you Rachel for your efforts and for your quality content.xoxo
I work full time and have other responsibilities too but I vacuum everyday without fail and mop the kitchen and bathroom floors too. It doesn't take long to do, especially if you do it every day
I clean all my stainless appliances with vinegar and water, and then I oil it (yes, oil it!). I take a little bit of olive oil and rub it in, then I buff it out. It works wonders!!! And keeps fingerprints at bay for a couple of weeks.
Anyone else totes obsessed with cleaning?! I LOVE to clean! My kiddos and I throw on our jamz and deep clean like nobody's business. I love it...them, not so much Lol. Cannot get enough of cleaning vids 😍
This was uploaded a long time ago, but I’m just seeing it now. When I was in basic training for the Air Force, we had stainless steel stalls. They gave us a specific cleaner for it, but it always left streaks and we kept getting demerits for it. One day we went to the mini mart on base for toiletries, and someone there told us to use baby oil. It worked like a charm. The stalls looked brand new.
I love your disclaimer in the description. It's nice how open and honest you are while still giving amazing content! Your videos are by far my favorite. Thanks for all of the cleaning tips!
Ecloths are life-changing! The duo for windows & glass, especially. I always had trouble with streaking and lint no matter what I tried. The ecloth leaves everything sparkling, and the great thing is you only use water with them- NO MORE CLEANSERS, EVER. I only wish they were made of natural fibers, but I'm willing to compromise since I no longer have to contribute to plastic waste (from packaging of cleanser bottles, gloves, etc.).
They do one for stainless steel as well! I personally haven't tried that one yet, but there are tons of videos on UA-cam demonstrating just how well they clean. All of their cloths clean grease, fingerprints, etc., and remove over 99% bacteria with just water. You can find them on Amazon, I bought mine at Sur La Table. :)
Was going to comment that I seen Ecloths on Doitonadimes channel and her stainless steel looks great! Seen your comment so thought best to just back up your comment! :)
Maybe it's me, but I never understood the reasoning behind washing dishes before placing them in the dishwasher. I get rinsing them off, but I don't understand washing them 😕
It's usually if there is crusty left over food on there, or rings in the cups etc. My dishwasher doesn't clean it enough, so I usually always rinse and use a sponge before putting dishes in the dishwasher.. =)
I've noticed that you buy a lot of things in Amazon. Can you do a video of your top products to buy in Amazon? I have a gift card for Amazon and would like to buy something worth my buck. Love your channel!!
I buy almost everything on Amazon, because I have Amazon prime.. You pay a little bit per year for free 2 day shipping.. Everything comes the next day or day after, and shipping is almost always free. It's awesome!
The shark steamer looks really nice, definitely going to check it out! I use the shark ultra light deluxe pro vacuum daily, and it is AMAZING! 😁💖 Great video Rachel!
I'm a housekeeper. The shark steamer is my go to for all hard floors. Its great!

I use my steam/vacuum all the time! I have asthma and since I used this I really feel such a great difference. I use it in the couches, bed pillows, mattress. Another good thing, is at winter time, when I steam the floors they dry faster :-)
My go to product for stainless steel is a furniture polish. Specifically, Orange Glo. It's not only good for wood furniture, but is also amazing on stainless steel. No smears, and totally shiny. And the polish helps keep dust from settling. Plus, it smells great. In my experience, the metal scrubber you use to clean your sink is rather abrasive. Over time the finish on metal sinks break down. Scrubbing it with an abrasive item will only progress the process.
I recently discovered Norwex cleaning cloths. They have a cloth specifically for glass and it has changed my life! I use it on all my stainless steel (you don't use any cleaner with it, just water! The cloth is infused with silver which is naturally antibacterial!) It kills all the germs and makes my stainless steel look like new! I wipe down my steel every couple days and that's it!
Rachel, I totally love and respect your disclaimer in the description. I would never just google something to avoid you getting affiliate compensation, since this is your job, but your transparency is admirable and makes me trust you even more!
Stainless steel suggestion: mist with water and vinegar solution, wipe. Then polish with a soft cloth and some baby oil on it, just a few drops. This method will become your new favorite. :-) Stovetop solution: mist with vinegar/water , gently sprinkle w/ baking soda. Let sit for 5 min, gently scrub with a sponge.
Oh! Rachel!! You never fail to impress anyone! The best thing about your videos are they're short and precise and do have a lot of content!! All your tips and tricks have really motivated to do good cleaning!! I just seriously love your kitchen! And the way you manage to do everything even while having a toddler! Hope you're doing more and more cleaning videos! Can't wait for more stuff! Love you!!❤️❤️
for stainless steel i use vinegar and a microfiber kitchen cloth. it works perfect. for my glass top I found a sponge by vileda for glasstops one side is a scrubber and the other polishes all you need is warm water. it's great
Yes they are pretty pricey not gonna lie but I see it as in the long run it works out. I've got the cordless ones they're so practical and no hassle with any wires great for getting into all the nooks and crannies.
"Best Purchase"... sure If you like to throw away money. You don't need a Dyson to lift up dirt from a hardwood floor. Most entry level vacuums can do that. That's just overkill.
Equal parts rubbing alcohol & baby oil makes an effective / inexpensive stainless steel cleaner.. The lemon-lime disposal cubes sounds like a great idea❣️
I can watch you over and over again. I feel under the weather but your soothing voice just made it all go away and I'm like " honey, buy me these. I'm going to clean". Thank you
You and Byron have the most soothing voices. I could probably listen to both of you reading the phone book! And I LOVE all your tips and tricks on cleaning in a more natural way!
she says it has a hardwood and a carpet setting and has a retractable plug. I mean... *every* vacuum has these options. Like, these are not things to mention about a vacuum. It's like saying "it sucks dirt from the floor" no shit what a surprise :D
I'm a thirty-three-year-old man and I vacuum almost daily. There are six of us in the house and we have six animals (two dogs and four cats) so there's never ending vacuuming, laundry and garbage to take out. I like the mop you have, I have a Bissell steam mop model 1940. It does a pretty decent job. The vacuum you have is sufficient for your floors. If you have very little carpeting or rugs, a canister is best. I have hardwood, tile and vinyl, but big area rugs in each room. I have three vacuum cleaners: a vintage Kirby from 1959 that I completely rebuilt, a Kirby Diamond Edition with all attachments, floor polisher and shampooer, and a Royal all-metal upright.
Dyson stick vacuum with the soft attachment for hardwood is my BFF. No cord, amazing suction, and doesn't scratch my floors. I change out the attachment to the regular beater one for my area rugs. It is the absolute best!
You should try coconut oil body spray or just coconut cooking spray, it keeps the steel very shine and nice and you don’t have to it everyday. Hope you understand my bad English. ❤️
I try to limit my products & don't want to spend a ton on them, but at the same time I want them to work. So I use $1 store rubbing alcohol for stainless steel, faucets, windows and mirrors in a small spray bottle. That alcohol smell doesn't last long at all and it works great! I like that it can be used for cuts and scrapes, cleaning my phone but can also be for the house as well. It serves so many purposes which is why I stock up on it when I do make a run to the dollar store. I also use a natural dish soap with dishes of course, but also mix that equal parts with vinegar. I sponge that on the shower doors, all over the shower and bath tub then wait a bit. All the hard water stains (orange when I haven't cleaned it in awhile) comes right off with VERY little work. It's also a cheap mixture that serves several purposes. For counter tops I use equal parts white vinegar/ water with essential oils. Now as a mom who cloth diapered I became sold on how well vinegar worked when it completely removed any odors from the diapers when they needed stripped every few months! Those smells are no joke, but neither is vinegar. The only things I spend a bit more on is furniture polish as we have a lot of dark wood in the home and I dust everyday (You have to with a toddler, 3 dogs and 4 cats inside the home, but I enjoy our lifestyle and don't mind cleaning up after them!) Also stain remover as I use cloth pads and like to keep them super white. I also make homemade laundry soap, depending on how much time I have it's either a powder or liquid. Both are under $5 and the liquid makes 5 gallons of extra strength. I love the smell and it it works great. I have kitchen rags, rags to clean the vehicles out, rags to wipe down our goats udders when they're milked, and I also use cloth pads because I hate spending money on things I cannot reuse! They are also more comfortable and I use them in conjunction with a Super Jennie cup.
Hi Rachel, about the stainless steel what works best for me it's use little bit of dishwashing soap on a wet sponge, clean the doors with it and then use either a rug or a damp sponge with a little bit of baby oil! It's amazing and repels the finger prints. I hope this helps. I love your videos, your voice is so soothing.
I'm a mother of 3 small children and I use the Bissell Symphony and IT HAS CHANGED MY LIFE! It's a steam and vacuum and it does both AT THE SAME TIME. (Used just for my hard floors, I use a different one for my carpet) I also use the dyson handheld vacuum for quick pick me ups on both hard floor and carpet.
My favorite cleaning tools I order from Norwex. All you need is water to clean any surface in your house. Works wonderful on countertops, glass, and stainless steel. You just clean with the microfiber cloth, and polish with the shining cloth. Perfect shine every time.
Since you're more into safe/natural products, do you use any special cookware? I've been trying to figure out what to get to replace my Teflon pans with! Also, my stem mop is my favorite cleaning tool! Best thing I ever bought
Cast iron pans are the best. They're indestructible. They cook well. You can cook food in them in the oven or over a campfire. Lastly, you can whack a home intruder with them. ;-P
Hi Caitlin, I agree with Sarah. I love my cast iron pans, and I use lots of older muffin/loaf/cake tins that were made in England or Canada as they get a nice finish similar to cast iron.
This is random I never usually comment about descriptions but I appreciate the honesty in your description no one really words it that way and I always know I can trust you and Tati you're both amazing
The brand Method, has a stainless steel cleaner that works pretty well. To be honest it isn't as good as Weimans but it's a more natural option to make using the other less frequent.
Thank you for the video! For the stainless steel, I wash all the gunk off with some dish soap and the softer side of a sponge and then with a micro fiber I go in with baby oil. It works like a dream!
Bloomin super mom over here!!! Awesome tips and love your daily routine to keep on top of mess, Total inspiration... Now i dont have stainless steel in my home so i dont know if this really works but i read somewhere recently that baby oil can help clean stainless steel appliances, Could be worth a try as i know there are some eco friendly, natural baby oils out there. Hope it helps x
For stainless steel I use rubbing alcohol or vinegar to clean and then buff with small amount of olive oil. I thought it was weird but was amazed by the shine and I have been doing it for 4 years and my fridge still looks new.
Love my Shark steamer! Swear by it! My friend was so kind and gifted us our 1st one as a baby shower gift. Sadly, it died a few months back. But!, my husband found a refurbished one on Amazon. Works like a brand new one with a MUCH smaller price tag. Exactly the same, but the silver is just gray. I have to say, the pads it came with are a little better. They're more microfiber vs. shag. But, we now have extra cover and head. Winning!!!
For furniture or dining room chairs I use rubbing alcohol just spray scrub with a microfiber rag then rub a dry clean microfiber rag and let dry. It's clean and kills bacteria
When you clean stainless steel, always clean in the direction of the lines and not in circular motions to avoid damaging/scratching your appliances. Also, I'm not sure if you heated it but when you use a stovetop cleaner you have to warm up the stove to loosen anything that may be dried up or stuck. Love your videos 🤗
This might sound a little crazy but with our son, we did a countdown to no more diapers for about a week. Then on that Saturday, we said that was it, took off the diaper, and held him on the potty seat once an hour. He was potty trained by Monday! Good luck!!
I use two "natural" options to clean my stainless steel and it works great. The first one I use is a 50/50 mix of water and rubbing alcohol. I put it in a small spray bottle, spray it all over the fridge and let it sit for a good 5 minutes. Once the time is up wipe off. The other option I use is a 50/50 vinegar/water mix and it works just as well, but sometimes the smell is over powering. If my appliances have anything gross on them I will add a squirt of soap to both of the mixtures and it will help clean sticky things. I also use microfiber cloths to wipe my appliances this helps with finger prints. Hope this works for you!
Love you, but I'm not sure how many people have time to vacuum and mop on the daily... I'm impressed that you do! As for the vacuum, I haven't met one I haven't broken 😕 I have two cats, two guinea pigs and a daughter, so they never last long... 😢
I should also note that I'm referring to areas that get a lot of traction.. kitchen, & living room mostly... My floors are so light, so it seems like they look gross by the end of every single day. lol
Kirby’s last for ever my mom had one for 20 years, 4 kids and 3 dogs. She only got rid of it to upgrade to a new one. I’ve had mine for 10 years and it works perfectly even with kids and an indoor bunny that sheds like crazy. They can be expensive if you buy new but you can find used ones that work great for fairly cheap.
Love this video I just got a new Shark Vacuum and I was talking to my friend about how much I love it and how oddly satisfying it is to me to use it, i dont know why and then watching your video is the cherry on top
Hi Rachel! My mother in law loves doing research and she teach me that the best way to clean stainless steal, mix in a spray bottle half baby oil and half alcohol and it works incredibly! Try it and let me know. Always love watching your videos.
Hi, I clean my my stainless steel naturally first. I get a clean rag an wer it whit tap water and just clean off any dirt etc off of the fridge once its clean you will notice it doesn't look clean lol then you get another dry rag put some olive oil, coconut oil or your favorite oil and start rubbing it on the steel and it will look amazing!
Hi Rachel! Melissa on Cleanmyspace.com has several natural alternatives for stainless steel cleaners. She's amazing & so is her channel if you haven't seen it. Also side note ... I think it's recommended to clean with the grain on stainless although I don't know why! Really enjoy your channel & all the Best w your Labor & Delivery to come !
I have the same fridge and is a real struggle when it comes to cleaning. So my mother told me how could i clean it and it work wonders! She said first you clean it with soap and sponge for the stains and then you polish it with any type of oil you want (I use baby oil) for extra shine. Hope it works for you too! ❤❤
Lemon oil for stainless steel! Apply it to a cloth, polish the stainless steel, and then use a clean cloth to buff in the excess. My mom and I use lemon oil for wood furniture and stainless steel. We saw something about how you only need lemon oil, Krud Kutter, and white vinegar for cleaning, and that has worked great for us.
I use the Bissel Crosswave on my hardwood floors and carpet. I love it because it both sweeps and mops at the same time! It also has a hardwood floor and carpet setting you can toggle between.
I use a water-soluble lavender oil in a spritzer bottle for cleaning stainless steel and polishing faucets, which works well & the scent is a plus too. Great vid.
I clean stainless steel with a wet towel, dry it, and then buff it with a microfiber cloth with OLIVE OIL on it! I was absolutely skeptical but gave it a try and the results were shockingly good!
I have a glass top stove as well and I sprinkle baking soda on the surface and then spray with the Honest spray, wait 15 minutes then scrub/wipe off. You need to rinse a few times but it works great!
your "natural" products aren't as natural as you think a little less " harmfull' as your stainless steel cleaner but definitely not natural. if you are wearing gloves and mask for the stainless steel cleaner for it being unnatural you're gonna have to use it for all the products you shown as well. Anything made in factory is not natural doesn't matter how they word it or what they say nothing natural has a shelf life and chemical in general are always " harmful"
Omg this video is so satisfying and relaxing to watch! There is something so calming and soothing about you, Rachel. Your videos are a source of stress relief for me, and for a lot of other people judging by these comments. Let me get off the couch and clean my house now 😇
I clean houses as a part time job in addition to my full time job. the secret to stainless steel is to polish with a microfiber cloth and always go with the grain. To clean I use either LA's totally awesome cleaner from Dollar tree (absolutely amazing cleaner) or a mixture of vinegar and water. Do not use essential oils or dish soap on stainless steel. After cleaning polish with a microfiber cloth and it will be shiny and bright without harsh cleaners.
it's like super late right now and I shouldn't be up but I love your cleaning videos I like the idea of doing small loads of laundry every day that way it's not such a task to put away
For the stove top I use dishwashing liquid, then rinse and buff with a dry cloth. Works very well. For stainless steel I make a paste with dish soap and baking soda. If there's any stubborn stains, I use some steel wool to scrub it off.
Love these cleaning videos!!! Something about it is so satisfying to watch. We own the Dyson vacuum and it gives you the option to vacuum on either floors or rugs/carpet. It's light weight, isn't very loud, and it cleans very well. It's definitely worth the price and you are definitely getting a quality product.
A good tip for that stainless steel chemical (from years of cleaning them at work) spray the rag a damp rag first, you can try with a dry rag since that’s a different product, but the damp rag is what keeps it streak free and applying to the rag and not the surface reduces the odor and amount used.
I didn't think I would enjoy this video content as much as I did. I got some great take aways, like the Trader Joe's reusable clean cloths. We go "ham" with paper towels in my household. I've also been eyeing a steam vacuum. I kept telling myself I don't need it for our little apartment, but you said you bought yours as a present for yourself. Good idea.
The best, and I tried them all :) for stainless steel is: a bit of dishwashing liquid (Mrs Meyers), bucket of water Norwex cloth and another one to polish.
Weird. How people are mocking Rachel for sweeping and mopping daily! I am an Indian and we sweep and mop our homes everyday :) It's an excellent practice to keep home clean and dust free :)
Love you Rachel for your efforts and for your quality content.xoxo
Ayesha Kazmi im a filipino and we clean everyday. Sweep and mop. Maybe some people here dont really know how to keep their houses clean lol
As much as I'd love to clean my home daily I work full time, as well as having other responsibilities. Not everyone has the time to clean daily.
Ayesha Kazmi I'm American and I sweep and mop daily. I'm surprised that's not the norm
Ayesha Kazmi 1
I work full time and have other responsibilities too but I vacuum everyday without fail and mop the kitchen and bathroom floors too. It doesn't take long to do, especially if you do it every day
OMG, watching a steam cleaner is SO RELAXING.
Isn't it? I LOVE that thing.. It's SUCH a life saver!!
Wow it's nice even I want to buy
Had a spot on my phone screen and didn't realize it.. I kept saying "Rachel, how can you not see that spot?!" LOL!
ahahah
Amy Lewis hahah I did this exact thing
Amy Lewis omg me too lol
Amy Lewis too funny !!!
haha me tooo....
I clean all my stainless appliances with vinegar and water, and then I oil it (yes, oil it!). I take a little bit of olive oil and rub it in, then I buff it out. It works wonders!!! And keeps fingerprints at bay for a couple of weeks.
Whitney Law Yes 👌 Buff with oil.
Whitney Law I am so trying this tomorrow! I have been looking for a natural option for stainless steel forever! Thanks for sharing!!
i always clean my stainless steel with vinegar and water, but have never tried oil. going to try that.
Whitney Law I use vinegar too!
I've tried johnson's baby oil and it works too
Anyone else totes obsessed with cleaning?! I LOVE to clean! My kiddos and I throw on our jamz and deep clean like nobody's business. I love it...them, not so much Lol. Cannot get enough of cleaning vids 😍
C • Chronicles I love cleaning
C Chronicles I wish the people in my household loved cleaning....
You must try Dyson cordless vacuum. It's the best vacuum in the world! It makes cleaning the floor so easy. You'll forget about any other vacuum!
Chao Huang Yess! Best vacuum EVER!!
my favourite! I can't ever use another vacuum
SO TRUE! I'll never go back!
Chao Huang I have it on my wedding registry! I'm crossing my fingers we get it haha!
Chao Huang does it work well on carpet and hardwood/laminate?

Lov!ingL!fe I agree ladies. It reminds me of that commercial- the little girl asks, "So, what does the dishwasher do?" 😂
I do the very same thing...my husband asked me the same question thinking it's redundant, but our dishwasher is pretty old so I just do it anyway...
Exactly like if your going to clean it before putting it in then don’t even waste more water by putting it in the dishwasher when it’s clean
I don't understand either, wath's the point?

i get really overwhelmed by all the options as well! never know what to get haha
Denise Flores what's wrong with amazon?
LesleyLizbeth I know! Fingers crossed Rachel makes an Amazon video!
I use a 50/50 mix of rubbing alcohol and water with a squirt of dish soap. Works like a charm. No streaks
25 yr old male here. I am very impressed and I certainly have learned a lot. I just bought a bissell steam mop and I am happy!
Just listening to your video deeply inspires me to clean my room. I haven’t done a full on clean on it in a while 😬
I've always used a little olive oil on a soft cloth for my stainless steel, but of course spot test it on yours first :)
Ally Chatham I was going to suggest this as well. I just use simple green or a natural all purpose cleaner then polish with olive oil :)
baby oil works super well and if you have little ones its already in the house
+Emily Elswick I use baby oil
as well and it comes out nice and shiny
The shark steamer looks really nice, definitely going to check it out! I use the shark ultra light deluxe pro vacuum daily, and it is AMAZING! 😁💖 Great video Rachel!
Erica Lee I love my Shark vacuum. With 4 cats, a great vac is a necessity! I’m going to try the steamer after watching you use yours.

I fell in love with the steam mop when I worked at a daycare! It's so perfect without all the drama of regular mopping! Great video! :)
I'd reccomend a Dyson for hardwood floor best purchase in my opinion.
I will look into this. Dyson are pretty pricey, but if it works, it's worth it.
Yes they are pretty pricey not gonna lie but I see it as in the long run it works out. I've got the cordless ones they're so practical and no hassle with any wires great for getting into all the nooks and crannies.
"Best Purchase"... sure If you like to throw away money. You don't need a Dyson to lift up dirt from a hardwood floor. Most entry level vacuums can do that. That's just overkill.

Same here girl. 2am here. Haha
I can watch you over and over again. I feel under the weather but your soothing voice just made it all go away and I'm like " honey, buy me these. I'm going to clean". Thank you
I have come home today with a Shark steam mop thanks to you 🙈😂👍🏻💕
haha LOVE it

That vacuum in the beginning was obviously not good
Girl Andhermakeup yea she went over the same crumb about 11x 😂
Miele is soooooo much better
Sarah Hunt I was right about to say Miele too! Love my Miele vacuum.
she says it has a hardwood and a carpet setting and has a retractable plug. I mean... *every* vacuum has these options. Like, these are not things to mention about a vacuum. It's like saying "it sucks dirt from the floor" no shit what a surprise :D

She's works from home so it's easier
I try to limit my products & don't want to spend a ton on them, but at the same time I want them to work. So I use $1 store rubbing alcohol for stainless steel, faucets, windows and mirrors in a small spray bottle. That alcohol smell doesn't last long at all and it works great! I like that it can be used for cuts and scrapes, cleaning my phone but can also be for the house as well. It serves so many purposes which is why I stock up on it when I do make a run to the dollar store.
I also use a natural dish soap with dishes of course, but also mix that equal parts with vinegar. I sponge that on the shower doors, all over the shower and bath tub then wait a bit. All the hard water stains (orange when I haven't cleaned it in awhile) comes right off with VERY little work. It's also a cheap mixture that serves several purposes. For counter tops I use equal parts white vinegar/ water with essential oils. Now as a mom who cloth diapered I became sold on how well vinegar worked when it completely removed any odors from the diapers when they needed stripped every few months! Those smells are no joke, but neither is vinegar.
The only things I spend a bit more on is furniture polish as we have a lot of dark wood in the home and I dust everyday (You have to with a toddler, 3 dogs and 4 cats inside the home, but I enjoy our lifestyle and don't mind cleaning up after them!) Also stain remover as I use cloth pads and like to keep them super white.
I also make homemade laundry soap, depending on how much time I have it's either a powder or liquid. Both are under $5 and the liquid makes 5 gallons of extra strength. I love the smell and it it works great. I have kitchen rags, rags to clean the vehicles out, rags to wipe down our goats udders when they're milked, and I also use cloth pads because I hate spending money on things I cannot reuse! They are also more comfortable and I use them in conjunction with a Super Jennie cup.
Your videos are SO soothing and therapeutic for me! They also really motivate me to get off of my butt and clean something. ;)
Susan Gilchrist thinking the same thing!!! Lol
Hi Rachel, about the stainless steel what works best for me it's use little bit of dishwashing soap on a wet sponge, clean the doors with it and then use either a rug or a damp sponge with a little bit of baby oil! It's amazing and repels the finger prints. I hope this helps. I love your videos, your voice is so soothing.
I could literally watch that Bissel stain cleaning action all day
I'm a mother of 3 small children and I use the Bissell Symphony and IT HAS CHANGED MY LIFE! It's a steam and vacuum and it does both AT THE SAME TIME. (Used just for my hard floors, I use a different one for my carpet) I also use the dyson handheld vacuum for quick pick me ups on both hard floor and carpet.
ooh.. I will look into this.. Thanks =) xo
I am looking for advice: how do you clean the inside of a dishwasher???
Megan K. Run it with one of those cleaners for dishwashers, you'll find them in the supermarket
Emilya Gerson or vinegar!
I showed this in a video a while back.. perhaps it was my natural cleaning video.. I use vinegar =)
Lemi shine! I just used it. It was amazing and smelled like lemons. So good!!!
Rachel really motivates me to be more organize and do more cleaning
Are the honest cleaning supplies better than the method ones? Looove cleaning videos 👍🏻❤️❤️
Jasmine I would stay with method
Ohhh wow that cleaner vacuum at the beginning looks awesome !!!! Whattttt!!!! I need the couch cleaner !!!
I use a bit of baby oil on my stainless steel fridge.
My favorite cleaning tools I order from Norwex. All you need is water to clean any surface in your house.
Works wonderful on countertops, glass, and stainless steel. You just clean with the microfiber cloth, and polish with the shining cloth. Perfect shine every time.
Since you're more into safe/natural products, do you use any special cookware? I've been trying to figure out what to get to replace my Teflon pans with! Also, my stem mop is my favorite cleaning tool! Best thing I ever bought
Caitlin Smith haha .. I read that as "my step mom is the best cleaning tool ever!"
Cast iron pans are the best. They're indestructible. They cook well. You can cook food in them in the oven or over a campfire. Lastly, you can whack a home intruder with them. ;-P
Hi Caitlin, I agree with Sarah. I love my cast iron pans, and I use lots of older muffin/loaf/cake tins that were made in England or Canada as they get a nice finish similar to cast iron.
This is random I never usually comment about descriptions but I appreciate the honesty in your description no one really words it that way and I always know I can trust you and Tati you're both amazing
The brand Method, has a stainless steel cleaner that works pretty well. To be honest it isn't as good as Weimans but it's a more natural option to make using the other less frequent.
ahhh.. Good to know!! I think I did try it once, and it wasn't as good... but it's a good idea to use it less often.
Thank you for the video! For the stainless steel, I wash all the gunk off with some dish soap and the softer side of a sponge and then with a micro fiber I go in with baby oil. It works like a dream!
Your cleaning videos are the best! ♥
Bloomin super mom over here!!! Awesome tips and love your daily routine to keep on top of mess, Total inspiration... Now i dont have stainless steel in my home so i dont know if this really works but i read somewhere recently that baby oil can help clean stainless steel appliances, Could be worth a try as i know there are some eco friendly, natural baby oils out there. Hope it helps x
I so wanted to see the dirty mop! Is that weird? Lol
Nope, I felt ripped off too. I think it's the satisfaction of knowing how much it took off.
Me too!
For stainless steel I use rubbing alcohol or vinegar to clean and then buff with small amount of olive oil. I thought it was weird but was amazed by the shine and I have been doing it for 4 years and my fridge still looks new.
Rachel if you wet the cloth before you put it on the steamer it will immediately start cleaning the floors.
Great tip. Thanks
Love my Shark steamer! Swear by it! My friend was so kind and gifted us our 1st one as a baby shower gift. Sadly, it died a few months back. But!, my husband found a refurbished one on Amazon. Works like a brand new one with a MUCH smaller price tag. Exactly the same, but the silver is just gray. I have to say, the pads it came with are a little better. They're more microfiber vs. shag. But, we now have extra cover and head. Winning!!!
For furniture or dining room chairs I use rubbing alcohol just spray scrub with a microfiber rag then rub a dry clean microfiber rag and let dry. It's clean and kills bacteria
When you clean stainless steel, always clean in the direction of the lines and not in circular motions to avoid damaging/scratching your appliances. Also, I'm not sure if you heated it but when you use a stovetop cleaner you have to warm up the stove to loosen anything that may be dried up or stuck. Love your videos 🤗
I LOVE cleaning videos!
PS is Oliver potty trained?
Yes =) He wears a nighttime pull up at night just in case, but besides that he's completely potty trained =)
Go Oliver! Any tips? My little guy is 2.5 and has shown NO interest!
my little guy just turned 2 1\2 also and shows no interest! But that's his personality. anything new and it freaks him out lol
This might sound a little crazy but with our son, we did a countdown to no more diapers for about a week. Then on that Saturday, we said that was it, took off the diaper, and held him on the potty seat once an hour. He was potty trained by Monday! Good luck!!
I use two "natural" options to clean my stainless steel and it works great. The first one I use is a 50/50 mix of water and rubbing alcohol. I put it in a small spray bottle, spray it all over the fridge and let it sit for a good 5 minutes. Once the time is up wipe off. The other option I use is a 50/50 vinegar/water mix and it works just as well, but sometimes the smell is over powering. If my appliances have anything gross on them I will add a squirt of soap to both of the mixtures and it will help clean sticky things. I also use microfiber cloths to wipe my appliances this helps with finger prints. Hope this works for you!
Love you, but I'm not sure how many people have time to vacuum and mop on the daily... I'm impressed that you do! As for the vacuum, I haven't met one I haven't broken 😕 I have two cats, two guinea pigs and a daughter, so they never last long... 😢
Thats the goal, doesn't always happen hahaha
I should also note that I'm referring to areas that get a lot of traction.. kitchen, & living room mostly... My floors are so light, so it seems like they look gross by the end of every single day. lol
Kirby’s last for ever my mom had one for 20 years, 4 kids and 3 dogs. She only got rid of it to upgrade to a new one. I’ve had mine for 10 years and it works perfectly even with kids and an indoor bunny that sheds like crazy. They can be expensive if you buy new but you can find used ones that work great for fairly cheap.
Love this video I just got a new Shark Vacuum and I was talking to my friend about how much I love it and how oddly satisfying it is to me to use it, i dont know why and then watching your video is the cherry on top
Method has a natural stainless steel cleaner, i think the only place you can get it is the method website
Cathielovesyouh09 Target and Home Depot sell it too. It's my favorite brand of cleaners.
Cathielovesyouh09 method is Not all natural
Hi Rachel! My mother in law loves doing research and she teach me that the best way to clean stainless steal, mix in a spray bottle half baby oil and half alcohol and it works incredibly! Try it and let me know. Always love watching your videos.
I never clean my house. I'm very lazy. But I like to imagine that I'm cleaning it everyday. Thanks for the video.
Hi, I clean my my stainless steel naturally first. I get a clean rag an wer it whit tap water and just clean off any dirt etc off of the fridge once its clean you will notice it doesn't look clean lol then you get another dry rag put some olive oil, coconut oil or your favorite oil and start rubbing it on the steel and it will look amazing!
Hi Rachel! Melissa on Cleanmyspace.com has several natural alternatives for stainless steel cleaners. She's amazing & so is her channel if you haven't seen it. Also side note ... I think it's recommended to clean with the grain on stainless although I don't know why!
Really enjoy your channel & all the Best w your Labor & Delivery to come !
I have the same fridge and is a real struggle when it comes to cleaning. So my mother told me how could i clean it and it work wonders! She said first you clean it with soap and sponge for the stains and then you polish it with any type of oil you want (I use baby oil) for extra shine. Hope it works for you too! ❤❤
why are you vacuuming at the beginning? I've learned that you clean from the top down, the bottom at the end. I think it makes more sense.
Lemon oil for stainless steel! Apply it to a cloth, polish the stainless steel, and then use a clean cloth to buff in the excess. My mom and I use lemon oil for wood furniture and stainless steel. We saw something about how you only need lemon oil, Krud Kutter, and white vinegar for cleaning, and that has worked great for us.
I usually clean everything in my house using robbing alcohol. It's definitely affordable and working very well.
I use the Bissel Crosswave on my hardwood floors and carpet. I love it because it both sweeps and mops at the same time! It also has a hardwood floor and carpet setting you can toggle between.
Incase, my home was as clean as it was before she started cleaning it... I wouldn't even bother cleaning it again...
this is so satisfying to watch because I am such a clean freak!
what about your electricity bills ??
I use a water-soluble lavender oil in a spritzer bottle for cleaning stainless steel and polishing faucets, which works well & the scent is a plus too. Great vid.
The best way to clean a hard floor,is to stick a wall to wall rug over it. Vacum and be done.
CarlaJoy lioopp
I clean stainless steel with a wet towel, dry it, and then buff it with a microfiber cloth with OLIVE OIL on it! I was absolutely skeptical but gave it a try and the results were shockingly good!
The video is 11:11 make a wish people!!!🙏🙏
Amandeep Khaira came up 1110 for me sorry to burst your bubble
Amandeep Khaira that’s a good way of attracting people to videos haha I clicked because of the video length and I’m glad I did!! 😊
For the stovestop, I also use that brand and they have a scrubber that comes with it and it works so well for scrubbing the stains off the stovetop.
You are beautiful, elegant and always useful ... Please translate into Arabic so that we can benefit from you and thank you.😘😘😘
I have a glass top stove as well and I sprinkle baking soda on the surface and then spray with the Honest spray, wait 15 minutes then scrub/wipe off. You need to rinse a few times but it works great!
your "natural" products aren't as natural as you think a little less " harmfull' as your stainless steel cleaner but definitely not natural. if you are wearing gloves and mask for the stainless steel cleaner for it being unnatural you're gonna have to use it for all the products you shown as well. Anything made in factory is not natural doesn't matter how they word it or what they say nothing natural has a shelf life and chemical in general are always " harmful"
It’s funny she like non toxic stuff but she has a tattoo.... really
I use the Norwegian Enviro and Window cloth with only water on my stainless appliances for a few years now and it works great!
Omg this video is so satisfying and relaxing to watch! There is something so calming and soothing about you, Rachel. Your videos are a source of stress relief for me, and for a lot of other people judging by these comments. Let me get off the couch and clean my house now 😇
I don't know why, but these are my favorite videos of yours to watch. Your home is so beautiful!
I clean houses as a part time job in addition to my full time job. the secret to stainless steel is to polish with a microfiber cloth and always go with the grain. To clean I use either LA's totally awesome cleaner from Dollar tree (absolutely amazing cleaner) or a mixture of vinegar and water. Do not use essential oils or dish soap on stainless steel. After cleaning polish with a microfiber cloth and it will be shiny and bright without harsh cleaners.
it's like super late right now and I shouldn't be up but I love your cleaning videos I like the idea of doing small loads of laundry every day that way it's not such a task to put away
For the stove top I use dishwashing liquid, then rinse and buff with a dry cloth. Works very well.
For stainless steel I make a paste with dish soap and baking soda. If there's any stubborn stains, I use some steel wool to scrub it off.
Love these cleaning videos!!! Something about it is so satisfying to watch. We own the Dyson vacuum and it gives you the option to vacuum on either floors or rugs/carpet. It's light weight, isn't very loud, and it cleans very well. It's definitely worth the price and you are definitely getting a quality product.
A good tip for that stainless steel chemical (from years of cleaning them at work) spray the rag a damp rag first, you can try with a dry rag since that’s a different product, but the damp rag is what keeps it streak free and applying to the rag and not the surface reduces the odor and amount used.
Watching cleaning videos is so satisfying! Haha
I didn't think I would enjoy this video content as much as I did. I got some great take aways, like the Trader Joe's reusable clean cloths. We go "ham" with paper towels in my household. I've also been eyeing a steam vacuum. I kept telling myself I don't need it for our little apartment, but you said you bought yours as a present for yourself. Good idea.
Update: Just purchased a Shark Genius steam mop IN STORE at my local Target for $39.99. Online price is $100. Score & win😊
The best, and I tried them all :) for stainless steel is: a bit of dishwashing liquid (Mrs Meyers), bucket of water Norwex cloth and another one to polish.
