Dawn Powerwash is seriously GOAT. I bought it on a whim and I'm crazy about it. Also: You know you're old when you're super excited about a new cleaning discovery.
If you live in a place that has issues with roaches, the powerwash kills them too. Just spray it and let it sit for a minute and it's dead. This is a less toxic way of killing them if you have issues with the super toxic sprayed and you want to kill them without getting near them cuz ewws.
Another quick hack/tip for stained plastic storage containers: spray a little non-stick spray in them before pouring in the sauce. Prevents stains before they start.
Here's an alternative to the tooth pick hack. I keep a toothbrush in the kitchen to clean the debris that accumulates in tight places, including crevices and corners. I lightly spritz the corner or area where grime is. Give the mess a couple of minutes to get soft and mushy, then use the tooth brush to dig out the mess, pulling the grime away from the corner into an area where I can wipe it up with a sponge or paper towel. This is especially useful if your sink has tiny gaps between the counter and the edge of the sink. It's also great for cleaning the faucet. I find that gunk tends to build up where the faucet meets the sink/counter. A tooth brush has a handle long enough to g reach any mess behind the faucet without straining yourself. (I would need to be on the counter to reach behind with a tooth pick.) The tooth brush also works in the corners of cabinets like the one shown in the tooth pick demo. When you're done, you can thoroughly rinse out the tooth brush and let it air dry. The bristles stay intact for a long time, so you may only need to swap it out for a new brush every few months, depending on how often you need to clean the crevices and tight spaces. Mine sits next to the sink in my drying rack so I can easily access it when I need it.
I add to my toothbrush tools a small stiff paintbrush. This really came in handy when detailing my car. The widish, flat thin paintbrush ( no good for painting ) was excellent for those tighter spaces and grooves. 🌞
A tip for cleaning the oven: whatever you’re using to clean the oven, cover it with cling film and leave it overnight or for a few hours before scrubbing. Even if you use regular oven cleaner it needs time to penetrate the dirt and if it dries it’s not going to work nearly as well, so just cover it with cling film and it should be much more effective at removing the dirt.
I'd like to share my favorite, recently discovered cleaning 'hack'. A handheld Bissell steam cleaner. I have struggled for years with streaky windows and mirrors. First time steaming with the Bissell squeegee attachment-crystal clear, streak free windows! ( I wipe any residual moisture with an old dishtowel.) Cleaning the microwave interior? Less than 2 minutes. I use it on my stovetop, oven, toaster oven, countertops, light fixtures . I have even used it on a crystal chandelier. -It is truly a game changer.
I've tried different natural ways to clean my oven, never worked. I use Easy Off, I know it's caustic. I spray it super fast (I leave the racks in) and let it sit overnight. It smells great the next day and you can wipe it off with a sponge or paper towels. I just rinse the racks in my sick. I've been cleaning homes professionally for over 30 yrs. 😊
Cori, this is such a refreshing comment. So many think they are the Toxic Chemical Police and shame those who don't clean their houses with anything but vinegar, water and baking soda. I use Easy Off too. 😉
Oh my gosh that stuff is magic, but crazy toxic. There was hole in my glove while using it and it gave me minor chemical burns (although I have sensitive skin), and triggered my asthma. Totally worth it. Took off the 5 years of baked on grime I'd inherited with almost no work.
A heads up with oven cleaners: They can kill birds you might have in cages as pets. Our new oven we got a few years ago warned about it and we had someone we know lose a bird via this. Read directions, etc. I know that sounds sorta nuts, but even the mildest fumes from them are bad news.
Wow its nice to hear the directions included that!! Birds have very sensitive respiratory systems. Air fryers can kill birds too but many people don’t know since it’s not listed as a warning 😔
They sell oven mats on Amazon for the bottom of the oven. You can then just wash the mat and the oven stays clean. Toothpicks are good, but wooden skewers are perfect for cleaning too! Thanks for the tips!
@@RedHotTamale91 this is so true! the only thing I don’t like about it is one second I can be laughing really hard and the next second I’ll be crying from a sad video ahaha it’s like a rollercoaster of emotions
Hi Kallie! Finley is so adorable! Thanks for the hacks! For my oven, I just sprinkled baking soda all over bottom of oven, used vinegar in a spray bottle and sprayed it over the baking soda. Left it overnight and just wiped it out. I didn’t use any dish soap and it really worked. Have a happy week! 👍🌸💕
Thanks for sharing! I’ve been searching a good cleaning for the oven. Know of one for the grates? I remember seeing someone post a hack to put the grates in a bathtub and soak it with some thing but I cannot remember what it was
Prayer Warrior Jennifer, for the grates you can get a large plastic bag ( I’ve used the large turkey cooking bags before) and add 1/4 cup of ammonia & wrap it up tightly. Let the grates sit in the bag with the fumes of the ammonia overnight & then you can spray them off the next day. You may need a bit of the Dawn spray if they are coated in lots of layers, but wait to see if the ammonia vapors get most of it off first.
Precious baby such a gift from God. Loved your cleaning hacks, especially the cleaning of shower doors!! We have hard water too. Q tips are great for tight corners or vents in your car.
I used to always put my gas burners in the oven when I was doing the self clean oven. Worked perfectly and never hurt anything! Another wonderful product for getting baked on stuff off the stove and oven is wd30. Spray it in, let it soak. Wipe it off shopping with the gunk.
Little Miss Finley is precious 🥰. I have a way that works for me to clean stove top grates. Put them in a large trash bag with about 1/4 cup of ammonia. Twist tie it closed. I take them outside because of the fumes. Leave them over night. In the morning just give them a little scrub and rinse (the hose works great for this!). Works like a charm.
Our new dishwasher cracks itself open to release the steam when it’s drying and I haven’t had any issues with dishes still being wet since we got it. I bet that towel hack works basically the same way, I would definitely try it.
I use a dry Swiffer on my walls, ceilings, wall hanging edges, and on my horizontal blinds! Just run the Swiffer down them in segments (when in the closed position) , and you'll be amazed at all the dust that comes off. You might need to touch up the edges and window sil after, but it does a great job overall. 😊
Oh thank you! I was literally just about to pull out half of my tupperware and get to swishing haha! Well, it's good to know in the future before I ruin it!
I don’t know if anyone else had this issue, but it was a blank black screen until I skipped about halfway thru and an ad came up. Suddenly I have video, so I went back to the start. Yay! ..otherwise.. 🤷🏻♀️ iunno lol As a single mom of 2yo twin boys.. I L💜VE Kallie lol
The oven hack was a bit muddled but had mostly the right components if not quite the best technique. Sprinkle the baking soda directly on the oven surfaces and add enough drops of dish liquid to lightly scrub it all over with a wet (with just water) sponge or scrubber, rewetting as needed. There should only be a light coating with perhaps a little extra on the very worst spots. Leave it for half an hour to an hour, or up to a day if you're busy. Then when you go back to finish cleaning soak your sponge with the vinegar or use a spray bottle to scrub and wipe away the soapy soda, and wipe away anything left over with plain water as needed. As demonstrated there was just too much soap and soda and almost all the dissolving power of the baking soda, the vinegar, and their reaction when combined was wasted in the bowl before it could be applied. It also works pretty well (skipping the vinegar) for a quick pre-scrub on baking sheets before washing, and baking soda scrubbed onto plastic cutting boards and then fizzed away with vinegar will help remove most stains better than just washing in dishwater.
The stove hack I did a bit different and it was amazing. Do baking soda and water as the paste. Wait 6 is hours. I waited overnight. Then take vinegar and water spray. Use that to activate the baking soda. Let it fizz, then wipe. Still messy like your version bit works incredible. My stove was black from the previous owner, it now looks brand new. This will take a few hours if it is a built up ad mine. But so worth it, because next time I could just use normal cleaner.
For the oven I know your struggle! That mixture was the first thing I tried on our oven 5 years ago when we moved in and it didn’t work. I LOVE easy-off. Yes, it’s horribly stinky but it WORKS. If you don’t do that, at the very least you could try a razor blade scraper on the oven door (gently and don’t hit the seals!) and that works like a CHARM!
My dad (appliance repair tech) recommended just opening the dishwasher and gently “shaking” the racks to disperse any water that settles on your dishes, then allow the steam and hot water to just evaporate with the door open. It’s just as effective as the drying cycle
I just found your channel and I love it, so I work 3 jobs, I drive a school bus, I drive a limousine and I own a house cleaning company, I also have 5 kids so honestly after cleaning everyone else's houses and working so much I don't want to do my own and I feel like it's just cluttery, I'm so glad I came to your channel as much as I'm amazing at cleaning I'm not good at organizing lol, also I wish I could add before and after pics but I know you said you don't like using oven cleaner but I have done some amazing work with break-up professional oven cleaner, and a razor blade and an oven will not take to long, before you clean your kitchen line your floor under the oven with rags in case anything drips it doesn't ruin your floor, then spray the oven cleaner inside also on the racks and glass with break up, clean your kitchen while it sits, and it's amazing just run those racks under the water everything will rinse off, then wipe away the inside of the oven with some paper towels, followed by wiping a wet rag with dawn just to rinse the cleaner off, take a razor blade and get any gunk Still stuck on, then I take a spray bottle with half water and half rubbing alcohol and spray and wipe one more time, also that alcohol water mix is the such a great streak free glass cleaner! You will be amazed no elbow grease and very little time!
Before I had a self cleaning oven, I used easy off and it works great; sprayed it on the stove top racks as well (also good for BBQ racks). Now I put my stove top racks in the self cleaning oven and just do everything at once. Works great.
Stove grates, I learned to put a little ammonia in a plastic bag, sit the grates in, seal it up and leave it sit outside overnight. They don't need to be covered in ammonia, I believe that the vapors do the cleaning.
Omg I Love the swifter floor cleaner as a wall / ceiling cleaner!!! It works so well!!! I just cleaned every room in my house with it. I didn’t even realize my ceilings were that dirty! Thank you so much for sharing such handy tips!
For baking almost anything get yourself a big role of parchment paper. So far I found that Costco has the best deal. It comes in a two pack. You can even make cooking pouches with it and it steems fish and chicken wonderfully! If your meat or food is very juicy sometimes you do have a little bit of a liquid residue underneath the paper, however it makes cleanup so easy. By the way thank you so much for all of your videos it's a pleasure to watch them. It's also lovely to see your beautiful growing family. ❤️
I've used my swiffer in the walls and ceilings, also great to use the wet pads to for cleaning. Use STEEL WOOL PADS for cleaning your stove top grates. Game changer!! I get the 10 back from the dollar tree!
Oven cleaning hack: I like using backing soda mixed with water into a paste. Scrub it into the oven and leave it for a few hours. Later, take a spray bottle of vinegar and spray the paste, that had at partially dried (I find that the backing soda is easier to clean off if it has only dried a little bit and it takes less time). Then scrub as the paste bubbles up. Add vinegar as needed. It worked wonders for the oven in our house/apartment when we had to move.
Great, useful hacks, especially the box folding one! Here you are giving us all this great cleaning advice, and leave it to me to notice how pretty, simple and fresh your make up looks! Your eyeshadow appears to be a pale pink shade??? It's very flattering to your eye color. Pass along any make-up tips for getting the fresh, natural look you have.
I really like these types of videos. I usually pick up 1 or 2 things. And I have become a new subscriber 😊 I guess some of these things you know from learning from your own experience or from others when you are 50 years old and have been married for 30 years...the towel in the dishwasher thing I will definitely be trying. I use cast irons all the time - you don’t have to use oil after cooking. The seasoning comes from whatever you just cooked. Toothpick hack - take an empty spice bottle with large holes and wash (lid too) and let dry. Toothpick holder that doesn’t spill!
I use Bar Keepers Friend on my oven. I don't let it sit for more than 30 seconds before I start to wipe off each section. The glass looks brand new again and the grates are so clean, in particular.
I know you don’t like using easy off. But I cleaned my oven with it. Sprayed it on left it 24 hours. And it was amazing. By the way. Baby is so cute. You look awesome ❤️
I have found for gas stove top grates that using a big big zip lock plastic bag ($ tree) and a cup of ammonia ($1.50/bottle) and letting them sit for 5-6 hours or better yet overnight really works. It has a strong smell, but the baked on grease comes off easily with hot water and minimal elbow grease. I also put paper towels on top of the stove wet with ammonia and cover with plastic wrap for a couple of hours and the gunk wipes off. I really enjoy these videos/channel. Thank you for making such useful/entertaining resources.
An easy way to keep your cookie sheets clean when making something messy is to line the cookie sheet with tinfoil, or my favorite, parchment paper before adding the food. After you are done cooking you just through the liner away and give the pan a quick wash to remove and residue. Makes clean up quick and easy, and makes your pans last longer. And for the glass on your oven door, after you apply your product and let it sit, take a razor blade, like you use for glass stovetops, and carefully scrape the glass. The cleaner loosens the grim and the razer blade removes it without as much scrubbing.
Hi, I found that using the self cleaning setting on your oven works pretty well. For cleaning the grades, soak them over in the ammonia from dollar tree. Use large heavy duty bag and leave it outside.
Open your dishwasher up and pull both of the racks out as soon as it finishes. It's so hot, the moisture will evaporate immediately and you can put your dishes away a few minutes later. The only water that will be left is in areas where it pools, like recessed cup bottoms. Just dab them with a dish drying cloth, takes a few seconds. Learned this decades ago. It also saves the energy used for the drying cycle. ☺️ Also, I learned from my mother back in the 70's to have a dull paring knife in your cleaning kit. With a cloth covering the blade it's perfect for getting into cracks and corners.
I used the Meliora scour powder (the one with tea tree oil) and WOW. My stovetop has never been cleaner. It hadn’t been cleaned in forever and now it looks brand new. Best stuff ever!
My husband actually found a way to clean the glass oven door that works great. Use a dishwasher tab dipped into warm water. Just rub it on the glass and wipe clean. It took about half an hour but worked great
Hi sunshine. Great tips. I have been using my swifter for dusting walls for a while now. I also have a square basin which I add tsp to the water, then wash my walls with swifter. I swap out the swifter dust cloth for a microfiber cloth. Works like a charm. 🥰
I absolutely agree about the dawn power wash. I’m hooked on it. I definitely like these kind of videos. Organization would be good. I really like that you point out the fails. Not many others do that. Great job
If you have a dish or pan with food baked on, rather that scrubbing it, you can let it soak for a few minutes with hot water, dish soap, and a dryer sheet! It works like magic! You can find cheap dryer sheets at the dollar tree. (Of course then clean the dish or pan as normal with just dish soap only.) 😊
If you live in a old place with popcorn ceilings, lightly bounce the dry Swiffer mop on the ceiling. It picks up the dust without knocking off the popcorn.
I used a paste of just baking soda and water (4:1) to clean my oven last week. Put the paste on the messy spots, leave for half an hour, and it loosened up pretty well. Spray with vinegar after, use a damp cloth to wipe out. If you need a little soap to cut the grease, do it *after* it sits. I mean, I don't particularly dislike oven cleaners, but I never have it in the house when it's time to clean the oven.
For your oven leave the racks in. Pour 1 cup hot water in the bottom of the oven turn oven on to 250 degrees for 30 minutes, then wipe clean. You may need to repeat a few times depending on how baked on the stuff is. My stove has a steam clean feature built in. Works wonderfully.
Congrats on your new babyyyy!!!!! So beautiful! And your winter and cleaning hacks have been such ahelp for me moving from florida to Maine for my first real winter
If you like Dawn Powerwash, wait until you meet Krud Kutter. I don't know what they put in that stuff. I am used to using it to get dried bugs off of windsheilds/car grills, but they also sell a kitchen-friendly version that *immediately* eliminates caked-on, baked-on greasy gunk like you would not believe. I sprayed it on a chandelier that had been in a kitchen-adjacent living room, and it looks brand new. No scrubbing. Just magic. Also, Lime Away works like nothing else on hard water spots. xox
I saw a Tiktok hack for cleaning the oven w the Dawn power wash. I tried it and I was so happy with the results! Spray it on, let it sit for 5-10 minutes and it cleans it so well!!!!
Can't wait to try that red sauce removing hack!!! Genius!!! 🤯 Also, I've used Rain - X on my glass shower doors for years, AND I still squeegee them daily. My hubby discovered that a bit of Dawn diahsoap on a scrubber sponge works well, while in the shower, to de-fog the doors occasionally, also. Glass shower doors are a pain!
Some basic chemistry for cleaning hacks: baking powder is basic, vinegar is acid, combine the two and they foam and create a salt - not table salt, but a salt. Bases dissolve grease by the saponification reaction - turns grease into soap, the stronger the base the more soap it creates. Using lye to make soap is just that. Lye is very strong, baking soda is weak. For cleaning an oven I would use borax - that is in the middle of the scale. Detergent + borax in a paste, leave it there overnight. Before you wipe it down spray it with vinegar - that will add moisture and bubble up, so it comes off easier. Any recipe that says mix vinegar and baking soda is BS, it's cool because it foams, but it kills both cleaning agents. (I am not a chemist - this is just what I learned in high school - it kinda just stuck with me)
For cleaning the oven - make a paste with just baking soda and water. Apply it to the burnt on grease, etc. Then just turn on the oven for like 10 minutes and let it cool. That stuff will dry up and become a powder that's really easy to wipe off, taking a lot of the grime with it. Repeat until it's clean. The same trick works for cooked on grease on the glass stove top. I don't know the details but cooking baking soda turns it into "washing soda" - some sort of chemistry happens. Maybe that's why it works so well.
Best thing to clean out a nasty oven is Bar Keepers Friend (I used the soft cleanser for easier cleanup) & an SOS pad!! (Neither scratched the glass or inside of the oven) We recently moved to a rental home and the previous tenants left the oven completely covered in grease and grime. It took me probably 20-30 mins and minimal effort to have it looking super shiny and new again! Try it!
Kallie, hi! 🙋. TicTok, right? I was late to that party cuz I'd heard that TikTok was aimed at an audience MUCH younger than my years and, um, kinda along the lines of the "5 minute" vids here on YT. One day I was following up on a craft video and wandered overs there and was actually rather impressed. I really, really liked your hacks today, pretty much all of them keepers, and would watch an organization compilation if you felt up to putting a list together one morning when you're up with baby girl.🤱 I've been watching your vids for several months now and always enjoy them... always! Your personality just shines ...🌟 beautiful inside and out...😁🤗 Thanks for everything, with love from the Southern California desert, MK ♥️🌞🌵
Yes! I'm 26 and thought I'd never download it but the content is really fun and entertaining! You can find recipes, cleaning hacks, mom content and more
Yes, I dust my walls with a floor Swiffer a couple of times a year. I noticed that the texture on my wall didn't look clean . . . it works soooo well!! People think I'm crazy until they see the bottom of the Swiffer; then they think I'm a genius, haha. Thanks for the before and after pics of the toothpick hack. For dirt that is not sticky, I use a dry paintbrush that is about and inch and a half wide. Works really well on decor pieces and on window sills.
I love all these hacks!!!! I would definitely watch some tik tok organisational hacks. I don’t use the app but I love watching other people test out all the viral things on there!
Great video. For small crevices, I like using qtips. I typically dip one end in a cleaning solution I like and then when it’s done being cleaned, I flip it over and dry it with the other end. Another UA-camr I follow uses that dawn spray in her shower and tub too- it’s the best!
The best hack for cleaning ovens and is safe for pets is a mix of lemon juice, dawn and vinegar (I think it’s equal parts, but you can check online). You leave the racks in your oven and spray everything heavily with the solution, leave it overnight and wipe with a damp sponge or rag in the morning. NO SCRUBBING! I literally sprayed my oven racks off in the sink and Voila silver again. I also read that it can be use for bathrooms. I didn’t care for it in the bathroom better than scrubbing bubbles and a bathroom magic eraser (or knock off). My tub and shower were much cleaner that way. Good luck! Enjoy your sweet baby.❤️
I tried the rainx in my showers, but we have very hard water. It just did not hold-up well. Now this is more labor intensive, but last much longer and has a cleaner look (not hazy). Turtle Wax when applied as directed in light layers works wonders. I usually apply 2 layers.
Good to know I’m not the only one that failed with the oven cleaning hack. Thanks for sharing and I’d definitely be interested in more videos like this
Laundry soaker powder is great for cleaning baked on stuff on oven trays and oven racks. Place in laundry or bath tub, cover with really hot water and sprinkle over with powder. Leave to soak for 4-6 hours then scrub with a scourer. They will be gleaming. 💖💫✨🌟
To clean grates well, put your grates in a trash bag. Pour in about 2-3 cups of ammonia. Seal up the bag and let sit overnight. Your grates will be sparkling clean. Works also on BBQ grill grates .
For oven door: 1. Wipe w soft side of sponge and dish soap to soften residue and clean off what’s easy 2. Get a scraper blade from hardware store and go lightly across the entire surface multiple times to get off debris 3. Wipe and then use some elbow grease on what remains with a little more soap. (Check w your oven manufacture on blade usage but many recommend and it’s very effective.:)
Speaking of keeping things closed, when closing the bread back up instead of using or losing the twist tie, I twist the end up the same way you would if using a twist tie and then just fold the bag itself down around the left over bread portion. Ill see if I can find a video better explaining! 🤣 Here's a link, the hack starts at about 1 min 10 seconds in! ua-cam.com/video/-iiBm2-BOv0/v-deo.html
To clean your stove grates you can also use Dow foaming bubbles bathroom cleaner and spray your grates, let it soak for 20 minutes, (depending how bad they are - might need to repeat) and then you can just rinse it off and your grates will be clean. Dow scrubbing bubbles works on ovens too!! Tried and tested by myself!!
OMG cleaning gas stoves is a hassle like no other. I dedicate every Saturday to clean my gas stove grills. The best method that works for me is using a dollar store brush head with a long handle (better grip), place baking soda on the brush head with dish soap and water. Have the grills soaked in Scrubbing bubbles spray already and then use the baking soda/dish soap brush on the grills. Reapply baking soda as needed. It acts like exfoliate beads work on skin, it rubs away the grime on the grills. I've never seen my gas stove grills this clean. Definitely worth a try.
Dawn Powerwash is seriously GOAT. I bought it on a whim and I'm crazy about it. Also: You know you're old when you're super excited about a new cleaning discovery.

Prayer Warrior Jennifer, for the grates you can get a large plastic bag ( I’ve used the large turkey cooking bags before) and add 1/4 cup of ammonia & wrap it up tightly. Let the grates sit in the bag with the fumes of the ammonia overnight & then you can spray them off the next day. You may need a bit of the Dawn spray if they are coated in lots of layers, but wait to see if the ammonia vapors get most of it off first.
@@jenniferbuzel1622 thank you!
Exactly what i was thinking never added dish soap to mine. It works great.

Loved your cleaning hacks, especially the cleaning of shower doors!! We have hard water too.
Q tips are great for tight corners or vents in your car.
I used to always put my gas burners in the oven when I was doing the self clean oven. Worked perfectly and never hurt anything! Another wonderful product for getting baked on stuff off the stove and oven is wd30. Spray it in, let it soak. Wipe it off shopping with the gunk.
A save the wand from mascara tubes before I toss and wash them, then use them to scrub tight spots. Or a Qtip or toothbrush.
So clever!!! Thank you
I get them from sephora for free
I never would've thought that. Thank you!
Little Miss Finley is precious 🥰. I have a way that works for me to clean stove top grates. Put them in a large trash bag with about 1/4 cup of ammonia. Twist tie it closed. I take them outside because of the fumes. Leave them over night. In the morning just give them a little scrub and rinse (the hose works great for this!). Works like a charm.
I have seen demos of this technique.
I’m desperate about my grates. Does this work only if they have an enamel coating? My grates are cast iron and appear to have no coating.
@@lauralalone I’m not sure. Mine had an enamel coating. I think it should work though.
Our new dishwasher cracks itself open to release the steam when it’s drying and I haven’t had any issues with dishes still being wet since we got it. I bet that towel hack works basically the same way, I would definitely try it.
I use a dry Swiffer on my walls, ceilings, wall hanging edges, and on my horizontal blinds! Just run the Swiffer down them in segments (when in the closed position) , and you'll be amazed at all the dust that comes off. You might need to touch up the edges and window sil after, but it does a great job overall. 😊
That plasticware trick works only if you haven't stuck it in the microwave to warm up the contents.
Oh thank you! I was literally just about to pull out half of my tupperware and get to swishing haha! Well, it's good to know in the future before I ruin it!
what's with the ten thumbs down? kallie is a GENIUS and works so hard. she has consistently useful and interesting content.
i'm puzzled?
I don't know either. Unless it's because she didn't credit the tiktok users? Still puzzling!
Yeah 2.9 👍.
I don’t know if anyone else had this issue, but it was a blank black screen until I skipped about halfway thru and an ad came up. Suddenly I have video, so I went back to the start. Yay! ..otherwise.. 🤷🏻♀️ iunno lol
As a single mom of 2yo twin boys.. I L💜VE Kallie lol
The one that gave her thumbs down are losers.
Your cookie sheet take it outside spray it down with oven cleaner and leave on for 5 to 10 minutes. Then rinse and wash it. Tahduh beautiful
Yes! I neglected a baking sheet for about a year and used that and a metal sponge and it looks almost brand new!
I bet you could put the stove grates on top of a cookie sheet and spray with oven cleaner and clean both at the same time 🤯
Does the oven cleaner harm aluminum baking sheets?
@@justpassinthru it didn’t with mine and I let the oven cleaner sit on it for 4hrs
@@jessreyn7512 thank you! I've messed up several aluminum sheets so this is good to know.
Try that Dawn Power Scrub on the oven. I used it the other day with a scrub pad and my oven looked new-ish.
These are great! Mind blown with the RainX why didn’t I think of that? Also the sauce on the containers!
More of these and organization please
METHOD Daily Shower is for this purpose and is amazing. Just spray after your shower. Dries clear.
There's a specific one for shower doors - the regular one could have too harmful of fumes.🤓
I do this for my bathroom mirror 😉 bc of all the steam in the bathroom. Ot works wonders
Yes please and thank you so much..
The baby is adorable...how does your son like her??😊😊
The oven hack was a bit muddled but had mostly the right components if not quite the best technique. Sprinkle the baking soda directly on the oven surfaces and add enough drops of dish liquid to lightly scrub it all over with a wet (with just water) sponge or scrubber, rewetting as needed. There should only be a light coating with perhaps a little extra on the very worst spots. Leave it for half an hour to an hour, or up to a day if you're busy. Then when you go back to finish cleaning soak your sponge with the vinegar or use a spray bottle to scrub and wipe away the soapy soda, and wipe away anything left over with plain water as needed. As demonstrated there was just too much soap and soda and almost all the dissolving power of the baking soda, the vinegar, and their reaction when combined was wasted in the bowl before it could be applied. It also works pretty well (skipping the vinegar) for a quick pre-scrub on baking sheets before washing, and baking soda scrubbed onto plastic cutting boards and then fizzed away with vinegar will help remove most stains better than just washing in dishwater.
The stove hack I did a bit different and it was amazing. Do baking soda and water as the paste. Wait 6 is hours. I waited overnight. Then take vinegar and water spray. Use that to activate the baking soda. Let it fizz, then wipe. Still messy like your version bit works incredible. My stove was black from the previous owner, it now looks brand new. This will take a few hours if it is a built up ad mine. But so worth it, because next time I could just use normal cleaner.
For the oven I know your struggle! That mixture was the first thing I tried on our oven 5 years ago when we moved in and it didn’t work. I LOVE easy-off. Yes, it’s horribly stinky but it WORKS. If you don’t do that, at the very least you could try a razor blade scraper on the oven door (gently and don’t hit the seals!) and that works like a CHARM!
YES to organizational hacks 🤯
Thanks for the video! Finley is adorable...thanks for sharing. Have a great rest of your day ☺️
I don’t know about the US but in Australia there are specific oven cleaning services. They’re definitely worth the money!
We have cleaning services here but they are very expensive.
My dad (appliance repair tech) recommended just opening the dishwasher and gently “shaking” the racks to disperse any water that settles on your dishes, then allow the steam and hot water to just evaporate with the door open. It’s just as effective as the drying cycle
Saves electricity too!
Yea I never use the drying cycle, it melted plastic wear one too many times and wastes electricity!
I don't use Tik Tok and I would appreciate sharing organization hacks you discover. That trick to fold boxes to keep them closed is genius!
I just found your channel and I love it, so I work 3 jobs, I drive a school bus, I drive a limousine and I own a house cleaning company, I also have 5 kids so honestly after cleaning everyone else's houses and working so much I don't want to do my own and I feel like it's just cluttery, I'm so glad I came to your channel as much as I'm amazing at cleaning I'm not good at organizing lol, also I wish I could add before and after pics but I know you said you don't like using oven cleaner but I have done some amazing work with break-up professional oven cleaner, and a razor blade and an oven will not take to long, before you clean your kitchen line your floor under the oven with rags in case anything drips it doesn't ruin your floor, then spray the oven cleaner inside also on the racks and glass with break up, clean your kitchen while it sits, and it's amazing just run those racks under the water everything will rinse off, then wipe away the inside of the oven with some paper towels, followed by wiping a wet rag with dawn just to rinse the cleaner off, take a razor blade and get any gunk Still stuck on, then I take a spray bottle with half water and half rubbing alcohol and spray and wipe one more time, also that alcohol water mix is the such a great streak free glass cleaner! You will be amazed no elbow grease and very little time!
I've used my Swiffer dry on my walls and ceilings for years. I love it and it works
Before I had a self cleaning oven, I used easy off and it works great; sprayed it on the stove top racks as well (also good for BBQ racks). Now I put my stove top racks in the self cleaning oven and just do everything at once. Works great.
Organization hacks...yes!!! Love these hacks.
Kallie Love these kind of vlogs! You are one of my favorites!❤️
Congrats on your baby girl! She’s beautiful. 💕
Stove grates, I learned to put a little ammonia in a plastic bag, sit the grates in, seal it up and leave it sit outside overnight. They don't need to be covered in ammonia, I believe that the vapors do the cleaning.
Do that with vinegar overnight
I stick the stove top grills into the dishwasher 😊
I use brillo.
Omg I Love the swifter floor cleaner as a wall / ceiling cleaner!!! It works so well!!! I just cleaned every room in my house with it. I didn’t even realize my ceilings were that dirty! Thank you so much for sharing such handy tips!
For baking almost anything get yourself a big role of parchment paper. So far I found that Costco has the best deal. It comes in a two pack. You can even make cooking pouches with it and it steems fish and chicken wonderfully! If your meat or food is very juicy sometimes you do have a little bit of a liquid residue underneath the paper, however it makes cleanup so easy.
By the way thank you so much for all of your videos it's a pleasure to watch them. It's also lovely to see your beautiful growing family. ❤️
I've used my swiffer in the walls and ceilings, also great to use the wet pads to for cleaning.
Use STEEL WOOL PADS for cleaning your stove top grates. Game changer!! I get the 10 back from the dollar tree!
YES! They work great. They also work for cleaning the cast iron pans :)
Oven cleaning hack: I like using backing soda mixed with water into a paste. Scrub it into the oven and leave it for a few hours. Later, take a spray bottle of vinegar and spray the paste, that had at partially dried (I find that the backing soda is easier to clean off if it has only dried a little bit and it takes less time). Then scrub as the paste bubbles up. Add vinegar as needed. It worked wonders for the oven in our house/apartment when we had to move.
That's a good one. I've used the baking soda by itself pure nightmare. Thanks!😁
@@jersgmd you’re welcome. Happy I could help!
Great, useful hacks, especially the box folding one! Here you are giving us all this great cleaning advice, and leave it to me to notice how pretty, simple and fresh your make up looks! Your eyeshadow appears to be a pale pink shade??? It's very flattering to your eye color. Pass along any make-up tips for getting the fresh, natural look you have.
Great tips! Sure beats scrolling hours and hours on tiktok. It actually is a game changer when you see the hacks on there. Thanks!
I really like these types of videos. I usually pick up 1 or 2 things. And I have become a new subscriber 😊 I guess some of these things you know from learning from your own experience or from others when you are 50 years old and have been married for 30 years...the towel in the dishwasher thing I will definitely be trying. I use cast irons all the time - you don’t have to use oil after cooking. The seasoning comes from whatever you just cooked. Toothpick hack - take an empty spice bottle with large holes and wash (lid too) and let dry. Toothpick holder that doesn’t spill!
I absolutely like the oven cleaner option of just burning it off for 4-5 hours, then wipe and clean the rest. Involves less actual scrubbing.
I use Bar Keepers Friend on my oven. I don't let it sit for more than 30 seconds before I start to wipe off each section. The glass looks brand new again and the grates are so clean, in particular.
This does work as I have seen it. Glass was so gross before and looked brand new almost after and yes don't let sit too long.
I have done the oven hack before and I agree it’s a fail I found myself wasting hours too cleaning up more of a mess
Me too, it took me a very long time to rinse off the baking soda paste...
I know you don’t like using easy off. But I cleaned my oven with it. Sprayed it on left it 24 hours. And it was amazing. By the way. Baby is so cute. You look awesome ❤️
Yes! Please do a Tiktok organization video! Thanks! Love ALL your videos! 🙏🏻❤️
The towel dishwasher hack is awesome!! My kids always complained about wet dishes when they emptied for me... not anymore!
I have found for gas stove top grates that using a big big zip lock plastic bag ($ tree) and a cup of ammonia ($1.50/bottle) and letting them sit for 5-6 hours or better yet overnight really works. It has a strong smell, but the baked on grease comes off easily with hot water and minimal elbow grease. I also put paper towels on top of the stove wet with ammonia and cover with plastic wrap for a couple of hours and the gunk wipes off. I really enjoy these videos/channel. Thank you for making such useful/entertaining resources.
My mom taught me to use jet dry rinse aid on my shower glass
Interesting...
I like the videos when you taste test certain off brands against name brands.
Me too!
An easy way to keep your cookie sheets clean when making something messy is to line the cookie sheet with tinfoil, or my favorite, parchment paper before adding the food. After you are done cooking you just through the liner away and give the pan a quick wash to remove and residue. Makes clean up quick and easy, and makes your pans last longer. And for the glass on your oven door, after you apply your product and let it sit, take a razor blade, like you use for glass stovetops, and carefully scrape the glass. The cleaner loosens the grim and the razer blade removes it without as much scrubbing.
Hi,
I found that using the self cleaning setting on your oven works pretty well. For cleaning the grades, soak them over in the ammonia from dollar tree. Use large heavy duty bag and leave it outside.
Open your dishwasher up and pull both of the racks out as soon as it finishes. It's so hot, the moisture will evaporate immediately and you can put your dishes away a few minutes later. The only water that will be left is in areas where it pools, like recessed cup bottoms. Just dab them with a dish drying cloth, takes a few seconds. Learned this decades ago. It also saves the energy used for the drying cycle. ☺️
Also, I learned from my mother back in the 70's to have a dull paring knife in your cleaning kit. With a cloth covering the blade it's perfect for getting into cracks and corners.
OMG, that is so true about the oven hack! I had tried it before I saw your video and what a MESS! I STILL have baking soda bits in my oven! LOL!
I used the Meliora scour powder (the one with tea tree oil) and WOW. My stovetop has never been cleaner. It hadn’t been cleaned in forever and now it looks brand new. Best stuff ever!
My husband actually found a way to clean the glass oven door that works great. Use a dishwasher tab dipped into warm water. Just rub it on the glass and wipe clean. It took about half an hour but worked great
I had the same problem with the last hack. Pain in the butt. Lots of great info here, thanks for sharing.
Hi sunshine. Great tips. I have been using my swifter for dusting walls for a while now. I also have a square basin which I add tsp to the water, then wash my walls with swifter. I swap out the swifter dust cloth for a microfiber cloth. Works like a charm. 🥰
I absolutely agree about the dawn power wash. I’m hooked on it. I definitely like these kind of videos. Organization would be good. I really like that you point out the fails. Not many others do that. Great job
If you have a dish or pan with food baked on, rather that scrubbing it, you can let it soak for a few minutes with hot water, dish soap, and a dryer sheet! It works like magic! You can find cheap dryer sheets at the dollar tree. (Of course then clean the dish or pan as normal with just dish soap only.) 😊
If you live in a old place with popcorn ceilings, lightly bounce the dry Swiffer mop on the ceiling. It picks up the dust without knocking off the popcorn.
nobody should have popcorn ceilings. theyre just a no.
I used a paste of just baking soda and water (4:1) to clean my oven last week. Put the paste on the messy spots, leave for half an hour, and it loosened up pretty well. Spray with vinegar after, use a damp cloth to wipe out. If you need a little soap to cut the grease, do it *after* it sits.
I mean, I don't particularly dislike oven cleaners, but I never have it in the house when it's time to clean the oven.
I’ve been using the rain x for years. Plus lemon oil on the walls of my shower. The oil also takes care of hair spray on doors, just wipes right off!
You've been one of my favorite UA-camrs for years. Thanks for all of the inspo ! Always so motivating 💕
Yes tik tok organization please!!!
LOVE your hacks! I've learned to keep a notebook handy when I watch your videos, you've always got SOOOOO many great tips!!!
For your oven leave the racks in. Pour 1 cup hot water in the bottom of the oven turn oven on to 250 degrees for 30 minutes, then wipe clean. You may need to repeat a few times depending on how baked on the stuff is. My stove has a steam clean feature built in. Works wonderfully.
Yes please do a TikTok organization hack video! That would be awesome!
Congrats on your new babyyyy!!!!! So beautiful! And your winter and cleaning hacks have been such ahelp for me moving from florida to Maine for my first real winter
I always learn something new from your channel :) thanks so much!!
If your oven has self cleaning option, put stove grates in it and run. Cleans them beautifully. Works on outside grill grates too.
Yeah I've tried that oven cleaning hack. Fail here too. And you're right the cleanup is murder.
If you like Dawn Powerwash, wait until you meet Krud Kutter. I don't know what they put in that stuff. I am used to using it to get dried bugs off of windsheilds/car grills, but they also sell a kitchen-friendly version that *immediately* eliminates caked-on, baked-on greasy gunk like you would not believe. I sprayed it on a chandelier that had been in a kitchen-adjacent living room, and it looks brand new. No scrubbing. Just magic. Also, Lime Away works like nothing else on hard water spots. xox
I saw a Tiktok hack for cleaning the oven w the Dawn power wash. I tried it and I was so happy with the results! Spray it on, let it sit for 5-10 minutes and it cleans it so well!!!!
Can't wait to try that red sauce removing hack!!! Genius!!! 🤯
Also, I've used Rain - X on my glass shower doors for years, AND I still squeegee them daily. My hubby discovered that a bit of Dawn diahsoap on a scrubber sponge works well, while in the shower, to de-fog the doors occasionally, also. Glass shower doors are a pain!
I used the TikTok “pink stuff “ on my oven and it worked as well as oven cleaner.
For my oven I put a bowl of ammonia in it over night. Do not turn oven on. Just place bowl in oven. In morning wipe clean. Works pretty well
Some basic chemistry for cleaning hacks: baking powder is basic, vinegar is acid, combine the two and they foam and create a salt - not table salt, but a salt. Bases dissolve grease by the saponification reaction - turns grease into soap, the stronger the base the more soap it creates. Using lye to make soap is just that. Lye is very strong, baking soda is weak. For cleaning an oven I would use borax - that is in the middle of the scale. Detergent + borax in a paste, leave it there overnight. Before you wipe it down spray it with vinegar - that will add moisture and bubble up, so it comes off easier. Any recipe that says mix vinegar and baking soda is BS, it's cool because it foams, but it kills both cleaning agents. (I am not a chemist - this is just what I learned in high school - it kinda just stuck with me)
For cleaning the oven - make a paste with just baking soda and water. Apply it to the burnt on grease, etc. Then just turn on the oven for like 10 minutes and let it cool. That stuff will dry up and become a powder that's really easy to wipe off, taking a lot of the grime with it. Repeat until it's clean. The same trick works for cooked on grease on the glass stove top. I don't know the details but cooking baking soda turns it into "washing soda" - some sort of chemistry happens. Maybe that's why it works so well.
Best thing to clean out a nasty oven is Bar Keepers Friend (I used the soft cleanser for easier cleanup) & an SOS pad!! (Neither scratched the glass or inside of the oven) We recently moved to a rental home and the previous tenants left the oven completely covered in grease and grime. It took me probably 20-30 mins and minimal effort to have it looking super shiny and new again! Try it!
Kallie, hi! 🙋. TicTok, right? I was late to that party cuz I'd heard that TikTok was aimed at an audience MUCH younger than my years and, um, kinda along the lines of the "5 minute" vids here on YT. One day I was following up on a craft video and wandered overs there and was actually rather impressed. I really, really liked your hacks today, pretty much all of them keepers, and would watch an organization compilation if you felt up to putting a list together one morning when you're up with baby girl.🤱
I've been watching your vids for several months now and always enjoy them... always! Your personality just shines ...🌟 beautiful inside and out...😁🤗
Thanks for everything, with love from the Southern California desert, MK ♥️🌞🌵

@@choosnau LOL! Gotcha beat... I'm 62 and never thought I'd know HOW to download it!! 😉😉😆🤣
Yes, I dust my walls with a floor Swiffer a couple of times a year. I noticed that the texture on my wall didn't look clean . . . it works soooo well!! People think I'm crazy until they see the bottom of the Swiffer; then they think I'm a genius, haha. Thanks for the before and after pics of the toothpick hack. For dirt that is not sticky, I use a dry paintbrush that is about and inch and a half wide. Works really well on decor pieces and on window sills.
I love all these hacks!!!! I would definitely watch some tik tok organisational hacks. I don’t use the app but I love watching other people test out all the viral things on there!
The Dawn Powerwash is awesome for cleaning the stainless steel sink as well.
Great video. For small crevices, I like using qtips. I typically dip one end in a cleaning solution I like and then when it’s done being cleaned, I flip it over and dry it with the other end. Another UA-camr I follow uses that dawn spray in her shower and tub too- it’s the best!
The last one not so good but the others... FANTASTIC! Thanks for sharing!
Love your humor! And yes please do all the tik tok hack videos.
Love the cast iron hack! 🎉
The best hack for cleaning ovens and is safe for pets is a mix of lemon juice, dawn and vinegar (I think it’s equal parts, but you can check online). You leave the racks in your oven and spray everything heavily with the solution, leave it overnight and wipe with a damp sponge or rag in the morning. NO SCRUBBING!
I literally sprayed my oven racks off in the sink and Voila silver again. I also read that it can be use for bathrooms. I didn’t care for it in the bathroom better than scrubbing bubbles and a bathroom magic eraser (or knock off). My tub and shower were much cleaner that way. Good luck! Enjoy your sweet baby.❤️
I tried the rainx in my showers, but we have very hard water. It just did not hold-up well. Now this is more labor intensive, but last much longer and has a cleaner look (not hazy). Turtle Wax when applied as directed in light layers works wonders. I usually apply 2 layers.
Good to know I’m not the only one that failed with the oven cleaning hack. Thanks for sharing and I’d definitely be interested in more videos like this
Laundry soaker powder is great for cleaning baked on stuff on oven trays and oven racks. Place in laundry or bath tub, cover with really hot water and sprinkle over with powder. Leave to soak for 4-6 hours then scrub with a scourer. They will be gleaming. 💖💫✨🌟
To clean grates well, put your grates in a trash bag. Pour in about 2-3 cups of ammonia. Seal up the bag and let sit overnight. Your grates will be sparkling clean. Works also on BBQ grill grates .
For oven door:
1. Wipe w soft side of sponge and dish soap to soften residue and clean off what’s easy
2. Get a scraper blade from hardware store and go lightly across the entire surface multiple times to get off debris
3. Wipe and then use some elbow grease on what remains with a little more soap.
(Check w your oven manufacture on blade usage but many recommend and it’s very effective.:)
You always make me smile with your humor
Speaking of keeping things closed, when closing the bread back up instead of using or losing the twist tie, I twist the end up the same way you would if using a twist tie and then just fold the bag itself down around the left over bread portion. Ill see if I can find a video better explaining! 🤣 Here's a link, the hack starts at about 1 min 10 seconds in!

To clean your stove grates you can also use Dow foaming bubbles bathroom cleaner and spray your grates, let it soak for 20 minutes, (depending how bad they are - might need to repeat) and then you can just rinse it off and your grates will be clean.
Dow scrubbing bubbles works on ovens too!! Tried and tested by myself!!
OMG cleaning gas stoves is a hassle like no other. I dedicate every Saturday to clean my gas stove grills. The best method that works for me is using a dollar store brush head with a long handle (better grip), place baking soda on the brush head with dish soap and water. Have the grills soaked in Scrubbing bubbles spray already and then use the baking soda/dish soap brush on the grills. Reapply baking soda as needed. It acts like exfoliate beads work on skin, it rubs away the grime on the grills. I've never seen my gas stove grills this clean. Definitely worth a try.
