25 yrs ago when I was newly divorced with 2 sons, my best friend would drive 1 hour to my house twice a month to clean so when my soon to be ex husband would bring the support check it looked like I had my life together. I worked full time. I’ll never forget that kindness she showed me. Storm kicking Johnny, you are the best!!❤
I have to say.. I love the “realness” of these homes. Not only does it encourage me as a busy busy mom to see these houses get cleaned.. it also helps ease my stress of feeling inferior to all these other “cleaning” videos of perfectly beautiful non realistic houses.
What you accomplished was... weeks-worth of late night sessions of exhausted sorting as a solo parent... And when you're burnt out after work, and your energy goes to caring & feeding your kids, "little" tasks like these (that aren't life or death!) stack up. What a gift 💛
My mom taught me to wash up my cooking dishes by having a sink of soapy water going while I cook. Once one gets used to doing this, it is so much easier to deal with the little dishes when one is full of food. I wash as I cook so when we start to eat almost all the cooking pots and pans have already been washed. After a meal my husband does the eating dishes and dries the cooking dishes. I love this so much I bought a fridge magnet that says "No woman ever shot a man while he was doing the dishes."
I do that when I bake. I have to make my own treats if I want them because they have to be sugar free. By cleaning as I go when the treats are done so is the cleaning. My wife likes that, homemade cookies and no mess.😊
Being a working single mom myself, I can't even tell you how thankful I am that you did this for her. This kind of help is invaluable. I wish there were more people like you in the world.
My daughter helped me with some overdue cleaning yesterday. I used your system: "I'm just cleaning this cabinet. I'm just cleaning this corner", etc. It was very helpful.
@@MidwestMagicCleaningI I feel like also once you finish “just th one corner” than you see the different it makes and get lotvation to even finish it .
Working single mom here too. I have a lovely woman come in once every two weeks to mop my floors. One day she had some extra time and without me ever asking for it, did my dishes as well. When I walked into the kitchen after she left and saw what she had done, I burst into grateful tears. You have no idea what kind of positive impact a helping hand like this can make! Glad and relieved to see these things are out there in the world.
My sister died recently and it just makes the endless list of things her husband has to do to raise their kids feel slightly more attainable when they walk in to a cleaned house. The kids like the stuffies arranged on the bed like that too, I think it makes them feel taken care of and cozy.
Let me assure you as someone who has lived in America my whole life im in my 50s. I have never been inside a mansion and no one I know has either. It's the media that shows the 1% of Americans who live like that and on shows make it seem like everyone live like that that. The average person lives in less than 2000 square feet in the US. and most of us live paycheck to paycheck that is a fact. I wish that thi is were portrayed more accurately. Even the tv shows of average American show huge houses when they work as police or fire or office workers. We can not afford the house they show on these shows with our salaries.
No we Don't! We are moving from a 100 year old home as we speak. It's damp, drafty, cold and hot in summer. It's $800 a month and comes with Nothing but the walls! We provided the stove, fridge, a/cs and heaters! It's a nice little home but it needs loads of work. Linens and towels feel wet when you pull them from cabinet to use. TV has clouded the minds of many, sorry for that. We are all trying to make it as best as we can.
I promise that is not the case. Most people live in small old homes. I live in the south, which have many older homes from 20's and the 30's. I live in one of these homes and have struggles with upkeep due to the age.
You gave her (and her kids!!!!)the gift of time…..they walked in the door,and Mom knew she didn’t have to clean before she had to start dinner,help with homework,get the meal on the table then clean up after……..maybe it meant Mom could read them their favorite story,or an extra story because you afforded her the extra time. Their home was neat and tidy when you finished……Thanks for sharing your work…….❣️😊❣️😊❣️
As a mother, the feeling of being "caught up" is one you are constantly chasing but never seem to achieve. You gave her the gift of having that feeling. The chance to breathe and finally feel caught up is absolutely priceless! Blessings to you and the work you do.
As a working single caretaker of a disabled adult, my heart started aching at "the dirtiest room in the house, her room" and basically didn't stop. :') My room got to be a disaster area while the rest of the house was clean for similar reasons. I know all the other single moms are chiming off their appreciation in the comments, but seriously, this sort of thing feels like being pulled onto a life raft when you're drowning.
I didn’t realize how I had done this in my home until I had to prepare for a sleep-over house sitter. It took so much time and work to declutter and clean. Not to mention the dust! I even bought new bedding and pillows because mine were so shabby. He deserved a nice place to sleep but I do too. Thankfully I get to enjoy the new serene space.
I too was a single mom for a while and worked EMS, 24 and 12 hour shifts, my parents helped with my 2 kids. This mom is doing well, just a little clutter from daily life. You gave her a nice reset and a breather!
Some people were never taught how to clean and feel at a loss so thank you very much for doing these videos. They really charge me to do jobs I feel overwhelmed to do!!!
This home may not have been as dirty but it was just as satisfying to watch as a hoarder situation. I always learn some tips from you about cleaning too. Thanks!
25:59 -- "Organize it and make sure everything was square and symmetrical. Make sure that the lines the objects made were parallel to each other. Kinda of trick your brain into thinking it is more organized than it actually is. Same amount of stuff there it just looks prettier because everything is square and parallel and perpendicular to each other everything is in a more symmetrical tone." Love this!🎉😊
Great job and just know she had to be so appreciative. Many years ago I was also a hard working mom of two young children and know it would have meant the world to me❤. Her home isn’t dirty at all and you can tell she does her best to keep it up. It’s just hard being a single mom, working full time and maintaining her home. She just needed some much appreciated help and so glad you could do that for her.
I was also a single working full time mom of two children. Sometimes my mom would come to my house if I had a sick child and, while they slept, she would cook and clean like a whirlwind, like one day she cleaned and organized my entire basement. I am still so very grateful of her efforts.
I wish someone like this would have been around for my mom. 5 kids, no child support. My mother was a nurse and had to be on call for emergencies in the operating room. No time to clean.
I am a single mom and my kids are old enough to help but don't. That’s on me. I work full time and had breast cancer with chemo and my house is a disaster. Wish it was at least clean!🙃
My mother in law used to help me - the best solution I found was to reduce the inventory - at first it feels counterintuitive but once it’s reduced it’s so much easier to keep it clean and tidy even with little kids xx
Boxing up the extras in the room made quite a difference, suddenly the floor space and walking space appeared. I'm sure the mom appreciated your sorting the kids shoes, preventing "I only have one shoe Mom!" syndrome. The kitchen when done would have had a tendency to cause a sigh of relief, and a feeling of peace. Nice work and making it possible to take on tasks. The extras you did in the bathroom, shower hook and toilet seat repairs, were nice kindnesses.
Hi Mr. Newton-John-Travolta! I know this wasn’t a hoarder house but I bet she was so grateful when she got home and all the beds were made and the kitchen sparkled! You did a great job! Congrats on the TikTok going viral! I hope your UA-cam channel gains a bunch of newbies, we have room on bus, even if it’s short! 😉😉
Single older people still working full time need help too! There aren't enough hours in a day. I know she felt like a princess when she walked into her home that evening. What a blessing❤️. Loved this video so much Olivia Newton John Travolta! 😊. And hey, I am STILL searching for Liquid Gold in my town's stores!
@LaLadybug2011 so true, definitely, but really more important for when there are kids living in the mess or chaos. or very elderly (e.g. not 50, 60, 70s, i’m talking 85+), for safety reasons. and because they deserve it. imo. *eta: or disabled
@LaLadybug2011, try looking at a local hardware store. Some place that has been around a long time. I recently had a hard time finding Barkeepers Friend, I could only find liquid when I just wanted the powder.
I was her several years ago. You are a gift from God. I hope someone gives her some pillow cases--finding money for that is often really tough. I love the way you did the bed with the stuffed animals.
surprising how expensive bedclothes are, especially the actual pillows themselves! easy way if can’t afford pillowcases, just take the top sheet (especially good if a bigger one than the bed size) and put it entirely over the bed, with the pillows underneath. top sheets are sometimes not otherwise in use by people anyway and can come with a bed kit (like a bed in a bag, which sometimes only come with one or two pillowcases). a blanket can work for this purpose too. blankets can be cheaper, actually. like from the dollar store or whatever. or just cheaper wherever (eg target, walmart)…
A little help goes a long way!! My daughter works 12 hour night shifts as an RN…. I clean her apartment for her because she gets behind from having such a busy schedule 😎
My mom used to come over and just help out. We had a small son and I worked full time. Just her coming over and doing the dishes and tidying up was a miracle to me.
Darn, you're good. I remember those days of feeling overwhelmed and a bit crabby because I couldn't do it all. Dealing with a toddler, an ailing mother, a full time high stress career on the road, and life was just one big chaotic mess. I miss my mom now & what I wouldn't give to have that chaos back. Funny, how when you think it's so bad and one day you end up missing that nightmare. Wish we had people like you around in the early 2000's.
Yes! Keeping it together is hard! What worked well for me was being on a schedule, putting things back immediately after using it, everyone cleaning as we go including dishes. With this method, there was very little left to clean during cleaning times. At the time, I worked full time, in college full time, single mom with a house and 3 kids. My house stayed cleaned. The kids were on board. I would get up at 5, cook a meal that didn’t take for ever. Throw a load in the laundry, come home on lunch to fold. Kids warmed the food up when they got home from school. They had a nap, chore and study schedule. I took classes in the evenings, 3 days per week. I graduated with honors, all three kids were honors students. I stayed busy but the house was clean always.
As a once-a-single-parent who attended college and worked early in my son’s life, I can attest to any parent - single or married - to not be completely overwhelmed and need help at some point. Life happens. I’m grateful this mom can get some much needed cleaning and organizational help!!
I Love that you're helping a single mom. I raised four kids on my own with no family or father support. People judge single moms and rarely help them. Three of my children were disabled, meaning I had to be there. So I had to figure out how to make money from home. Reselling wasn't easy without the internet. The job led to disability, and now after the depression of finally being an empty nester in 2020. Yes! they are all successfully on their own with the help of SS, but independent. I am overwhelmed. If there's anyone in Albuquerque that does this. This poor (fixed income) lady would be ever so grateful. I'd find a way to pay a little. You are really appreciated on this job. Thank you very much for shining your Light on the plight of being a single mom.
I had a friend who did this for me when I was working two jobs. I came home, noticed wasn’t tripping over my clothes in the hallway and just start crying. She cleaned my entire apartment. It wasn’t bad, just clothes on the floor and some dishes in the sink. But it made me so happy and grateful. I’m actually very neat and clean, but when I’m tired I just can’t keep up.
your videos are turning into a buddy system for my adhd. You clean, I clean. Winter’s been over for two seasons and I finally cleaned up and put away my gloves, hats and shawls, changed the sheets on my bed, did the dishes, put away laundry and cleaned the washing machine filter.
I loved this video so much! I remember being a working mom and trying to stay on top of stuff all the time. I was fortunate enough to be able to afford a cleaning person every other week and she was amazing and kept us on track. So I know what a blessing you are to the people you help with cleaning and organization.
I had stumbled upon your channel by chance. I love organization, cleaning and minimalism videos. So, why does your channel stands out? Your voice. I can actually play the videos and listen to it like i enjoy listening to my favourite radio. Your cool DJ voice has lots of potential. Thank you for your lovely act of love and kindness. Love from Malaysia. 🎉
As a working single mum myself , She's got to much stuff I had too much stuff, we never get time to decluttering enough then we buy stuff so nothing changes!! I downloaded goodbye things, It really helped me with the final push I needed, As humans we don't need a lot to survive, we don't need another bag, top, gadgets etc. It's just having awareness and been mindful of what you do buy. Its taken me over a year and its journey. My house is easier to clean with less items in it. Great video
I'd just call this a "we got busy" house ❤ You do amazing work❤ My kids make do their check lists and make their beds each morning..it helps them feel organized (they all have autism and 3 or 5 have ADHD). Even if nothing else gets done, they feel accomplished and have a space to decompress
Listen, Olivia Newton Kenobi DiCaprio, we are usually on the same page about everything but the fact you didn't flip that drawer handle back down at 25:50 is driving me bananas.
I bet the mom and kids loved coming home to organized rooms! I love your empathy towards others and their situations, and the transformations you make to their homes. What a gift 💝
While I prefer the cleaning of hoarder houses more, it is good to see a regular home get done once in awhile. It motivates you to get busy and square away your own home! thanks!!👍
Every time I'm at my best friend's house I always help out with laundry. Some of the simplest things are a challenge when you are a single working mom. There is usually laundry on her bed and so when we sit and talk I fold, it's a ADD thing
Happy to see another video! Already binge watched the others. Your voice is soothing. You are an inspiration and motivation for those of us who have a difficult time getting going. The older I get, the more difficult it becomes bc I tire more easily. So kind of you to help this lady out. My daughter is a single working mom and a cancer survivor and constantly works to keep her home immaculate but stays exhausted in doing so. God bless you and your family.
I think I must be the most unfeminine woman I know when it comes to having a bunch of pillows on my bed. I have NEVER wanted a stack of pillows on my bed because I see it as a bunch of stuff I have to move every night before I can go to bed and a bunch of stuff I have to put back on every morning and that just seems like a bunch of unnecessary work to me. I have the two pillows that should be on the bed and that's it! I know that most women LOVE all those pillows but I just never have.
I was thinking, while watching you place the stuffed toys, about how important those toys are to kids, and how delighted they would be to see them all waiting for them when they get home, and then you said you liked to make them look like they were taking a group photo. You’re pretty cool, Olivia-Newton-John-Travolta 😂
You are amazing! I just smiled my whole way through this video. Well, sometimes I actually broke that up with laughter, but even when I wasn’t laughing I was still smiling. It makes me so happy that this mom had something really nice to come home to and she and her kids can just relax and have a nice weekend. It also makes me really happy that 1,000,000+ people discovered you on TikTok in the last couple days! Congratulations, that is crazy cool! And the The way that you put all of those stuffed animals on the bed, that was just the sweetest thing! You are a big ole spin kicking sweetheart ❤ I hope that you and your family have a wonderful weekend!
I like how you tell us stories of your prowess in kicking up stuff etc and then just allow a moment of silence so we have time to process what we just heard and really let it sink in, how awesome you are. Thanks, we need that moment to collect ourselves. I hope Jason et all are doing great!
I just wanted to write this very same thing in his previous video! I like his comments and need and enjoy the silences that follow so it can sink and I have time to ponder.
I'm sure your body hurts after so much work of helping these people but remember every ache you feel is the outcome of giving a person an opportunity of continuing to live a better life. You're an angel and a super hero. God bless you and your family. Jason is an angel as well❤❤❤❤
Im a stay at home mom and I tell ya. I give all the single working moms all the respect because. I struggle to get my cleaning done all while watching my 3 year old and it can be overwhelming. Before I was married I worked a lot of over time as a Nursing assistant but didn't have a child at that time and I was always so tired that it made getting my home cleaned. I couldn't imagine doing that with a child. Oh and thanks for the follow on Tik Tok son!!!! You spin kicking the storm had me rolling!!!!!! 😂 Oh and that video is up from 1.7 to 2.1 million. Congratulations!!!
Spin kicked a soul-warming sigh of relief right into that mama's heart, I tell ya!!!!! I don't like stuffed animals (unless they are for the doggies and get demolished) and even I WANTED TO JUMP INTO THAT FLUFFY BED FULL OF FRIENDS.
I use Weimes on our stainless steel fridge, sinks, kettle etc. Its just mineral oil byt chemically altered. A word i never remember...conversion? You just rub and buff like polishing. It leaves no film but it also buffers future marks. We have a Bunn coffee pot. I use magic brand calcium shower cleaner around top where you pot water as that is plastic and silver base then use Weimers. It helps the calcium not stick as much.
Was a working Mom with kids and know how hard it is to juggle many tasks. Clean was always so important to me and when I could at times get a little help in my home it was so appreciated. I'm sure you made this ladies day when she got home from work to a clean house. Amazing.
The bed with all the stuffed animals in a cute arrangement proves once again what a kind person you are! All in all you made this house look so welcoming!
Watching from WA State, again. I’m still stuck on video of Jason’s yard. He really is a fortunate young man. As for this video, I am still amazed that you do the extras - fold clothes, organize closets, make beds, fix little things. Also, I like the uncluttered kitchen. Looks like just the minimal on the counters. I bet this single mom was very appreciative when she came home. I love the effect of Liquid Gold. Anticipate next video. 😊
Hi Olivia Newton John Travolta, what a nice pseudonym! I want to thank you again 4 your precious work & videos! Such worthy help 4 people who need some, here a single working mum. Have been one myself all my working life. Want to become a member! Now on holidays in Africa. Once I am back in my country I will join. I like the way you clean up. Would do it same way. Plus I share your sense of order & arranging things. 🙋🏼♀️🇩🇪
Thank you so much for your hard work. You give people a so much needed break and a chance to start all over. You are helping people continue with their lives. We all get stuck in a hole at times. You're an angel on earth
Hey SKJ (Spin Kick Johnny).. To add to your SS sink cleaning. (You probably know this already). Get a sponge sandpaper block, or wet-or-dry sandpaper, 80 grit or so. Using the original sanding directions you can wet sand the Stainless Steel back to it's original look. I do this to ours once in a while when it starts looking scratchy. Thanks for the videos, wisdom, and fun! Sandy & Brad.
What you do is truly saving lives as in drastically improving the quality of many lives. It's just pure human care and compassion and support we all should be giving each other, so many of us need.
I rather spend 10 mins doing dishes then cleaning them off then loading them then waiting 45 mins for them to get done. You did awesome. Very kind of you to help her & her family!
Ultra Fine, Spin Kickin' Johnny strikes again!! ✨✨ Amazing before and after photos!! Thank you for your kindness in helping people in need while making us laugh and having fun watching. 😁👍
You have given a priceless gift to this lady and her family, thank you 👏 We are very lucky to have a cleaner (every week) and I call her my ‘sanity restorer’ and she’s the person who will push me when we tackle a decluttering job (I’ve a very hard time letting go of stuff but I’m very slowly getting better). Thank you for being such a kind, generous and thoughtful spin kicking man. Have a great week. Mary, Joes wife 👏👍💪💐🙏
I think this is the best gift you can give someone.. To be able to come home to a clean house and just breathe a sigh of relief. I'm guessing this not only made her day/week but also her year !
Everything looked so tidy when you finished. You do great work. I hope she was able to get a bubble bath night and relax. You always rock. Keep it up spin kick man.❤
I had an American girl cleaning book and a tip I’ll never forget is making the bed first. It’s been with me like 17 years lol. Biggest motivator to keep going
It is a glass of water and vinegar that works. It loosens all the gunk and makes it easy to wipe out. The vinegar also kills the smell. It works wonders for microwaves and ovens. I live In a home from the 30s, it is a rent home and the company refuses to come fix anything. It has been frusterating maintaing because it is falling apart. I work full time, go to university and run a small buisness. My daughter is 13 and husband is not domesticated. It gets to be completely overwhelming trying to keep up with anything. I work with a power hour. A power hour is a set hour of time to accomplish whatever you can without stopping. With ADHD, I find it to be helpful with my busy schedule.
I can imagine the joy that lady felt when she got home :) I’d just put 2 stuffed toys on the bed - because you know the rest will end up on the floor once the kids get in. I’m not autistic but I hate mechanical sounds like dishwashers; when I bought my last one I just asked the salesperson, Which is your quietest dishwasher? He said, This one. I bought that sucker without even looking inside it.
One thing I learned to help my brain was that there is a difference between cleaning and tidying. Tidying is the battle with out of place items. Cleaning is the battle with the dirt and grunge. It is easier to mentally process the work by splitting the definition.
This woman's cleaning issues sound kinda like mine. I have severe depression, work part time and carer for my mum, my place is usually clean, but not. Even though I have an inspection tomorrow morning, I'm almost done, quick 1 hour per room tidy, floors and I have IKEA organization stuff for the kitchen arriving today, loo in the morning. 😁💃 I watch these type of videos while I'm having my wake up coffee routine for motivation.
As a fellow single-full-time-working-teacher-mom, thank you!! I have two daughters and two fur babies. After working all day as a middle school math teacher, it would be heaven to come back to a clean home. Awesome!!
I was so glad to see the video post early… It’s been a stressful day of baking that started at 3AM this morning. Thankfully, Im nearing the end for today. Just needed a little motivation to finish and clean this sticky kitchen! Ha!! Your videos with the commentary really are relaxing. You should of been in broadcasting! Welp!! I’d better get moving before I catch myself napping!! Thanks for all you do. You are appreciated. God bless you friend ❤ Oh, And congratulations on those numbers!!! 🎉
I'm moving back into my parents home with my fiance and we're both going to be doing this for my mother since she's a full-time worker and all her free time goes to taking care of pets, dishes, laundry and cooking. She has zero time for decluttering, cleaning, dusting, etc. My dad is basically a second child however now is temporarily disabled on top of it. This is such a huge help to whoever needs it.
I get up at 3am, leave home at 3:30 and usually return at 5 or 6pm. It takes me 2 hours to get to work and 2 hours to get back home. I have 70 pet chickens and take care of 3 to 4 stray cats. Parents are in a differen country, no friends ... I so wish I had someone like you in my area who could help me, but I have never heard of anyone being like you in Germany, to be honest ... 😢 Such great work and done with so much love ... ❤
As a clean/organizer freak, I find your videos extremely satisfying.. While waiting for our house to close escrow, we lived with our daughter. We used our moving tubs as a base for guest inflatable mattress. But you could do this with a regular mattress.
If you ever make your way to North Carolina, I'm a single parent, and my home is cluttered, and it's shameful. I'm watching your video today, and I'm going to get into the worst room in the house... mine. Say a prayer that I don't give up. It's easy to start but so incredibly hard to finish.
Here's a cleaning tip for the expert : If you ever notice the 'gung ring' starting to build up in your bathroom sink pipe below the drain hole and down near to the trap ( especially true if you have one of those screw in, pop up/down stoppers ? ) Awkward to get rid of, right, since drain cleaners normally can't 'sit there and clean it' properly ? Unscrew and remove the stopper, and a bottle cleaner brush gets rid of it, with a few quick swishes, and it looks as good and clean as new when you're done ( and it also smells better) ! Remember not to use it for any bottles again, though, because that would just be gross - 'one brush, one use' is the rule here !! Try it - you'll like it ! ;)
I was a single mom. And with undiagnosed ADD at the time. When my son was 5 or 6, our apartment got broken into by some teens in the next building. They took my sons Nintendo and a six pack of Coke but left my Malibu Rum. The police came over and pointed to the mess on the floor and asked if that was done in the burglary. Nope, that's all me.
I was a single parent for many years. Never asked for help because I didn't feel worthy enough. I'm so glad this single mom has you on her side. You have a kind heart and a sense of humor. PS - I don't feel unworthy anymore, if you were worried about me. ;D
25 yrs ago when I was newly divorced with 2 sons, my best friend would drive 1 hour to my house twice a month to clean so when my soon to be ex husband would bring the support check it looked like I had my life together. I worked full time. I’ll never forget that kindness she showed me. Storm kicking Johnny, you are the best!!❤
Beautiful friend and story. Thank you so much for sharing that!
Life is not easy 😢🎉
Sweet share means a lot
Not everyone has a great friend like that 🎉
Great friend ❤
I have to say.. I love the “realness” of these homes. Not only does it encourage me as a busy busy mom to see these houses get cleaned.. it also helps ease my stress of feeling inferior to all these other “cleaning” videos of perfectly beautiful non realistic houses.
Those videos are staged and fake. Don't feel bad at all.
Right lol with the cushions on the floor and their perfectly white counters have a crumb
@theolamarshall-bernard Why on earth would you think these are staged? I clean houses. This is 100% how many, many houses look.
I can relate - our house is old (rented) with lots of nooks and crannies but after a good clean and declutter it looks fresh and appealing.
Yes. Exactly this. ♥️
What you accomplished was... weeks-worth of late night sessions of exhausted sorting as a solo parent... And when you're burnt out after work, and your energy goes to caring & feeding your kids, "little" tasks like these (that aren't life or death!) stack up. What a gift 💛
Much like Mr Olivianewtonjohntravolta I also was a housekeeper while my children were very young and growing up. My home was always tidy and clean.
My mom taught me to wash up my cooking dishes by having a sink of soapy water going while I cook. Once one gets used to doing this, it is so much easier to deal with the little dishes when one is full of food. I wash as I cook so when we start to eat almost all the cooking pots and pans have already been washed. After a meal my husband does the eating dishes and dries the cooking dishes. I love this so much I bought a fridge magnet that says "No woman ever shot a man while he was doing the dishes."
That sounds like the perfect magnet!😂
Anf husband! 😂
I always clean as I cook. Can’t enjoy dinner with a sink and counter full of dirty pots and pans.
I bet she orders takeout when she gets home. I wouldn’t want to immediately dirty up the nice clean kitchen!🥰
I do that when I bake. I have to make my own treats if I want them because they have to be sugar free. By cleaning as I go when the treats are done so is the cleaning. My wife likes that, homemade cookies and no mess.😊
Being a working single mom myself, I can't even tell you how thankful I am that you did this for her. This kind of help is invaluable. I wish there were more people like you in the world.
I so agree!
I would have loved having someone help when I was a single mom. This made my heart happy ❤
Agreed, as a single mom myself, I'm so grateful you could donthis for her! 💝
My daughter is a single Mom of Three so I know how appreciative this Mom must be. This house reminds me of my daughter’s house.
Me too. A single working mom with no time to organize and tidy up after my toddler. Thanks alot
My daughter helped me with some overdue cleaning yesterday. I used your system: "I'm just cleaning this cabinet. I'm just cleaning this corner", etc. It was very helpful.
It's nice because it's like reassuring your brain, "You got this."
I have been doing the same thing! Really helps so you don't get overwhelmed.
@@MidwestMagicCleaningI I feel like also once you finish “just th one corner” than you see the different it makes and get lotvation to even finish it .
I do something even smaller. Just put away three things when you enter or use the space. It adds up!
That’s some real daunting cleaning
Working single mom here too. I have a lovely woman come in once every two weeks to mop my floors. One day she had some extra time and without me ever asking for it, did my dishes as well. When I walked into the kitchen after she left and saw what she had done, I burst into grateful tears. You have no idea what kind of positive impact a helping hand like this can make! Glad and relieved to see these things are out there in the world.
My sister died recently and it just makes the endless list of things her husband has to do to raise their kids feel slightly more attainable when they walk in to a cleaned house. The kids like the stuffies arranged on the bed like that too, I think it makes them feel taken care of and cozy.
My very deepest condolences to you and the family.
Life just isn‘t fair.
🙋🏼♀️🇩🇪
@@hildaba-wu1499 Thank you for your kindness 💙
I'm so sorry.
Blessings to you and your children.
Oh geez, life can be so hard, ya know!
I'm so sorry ur going thru such a hard time!
❤️❤️❤️
As someone from the U.K, its so nice to see a normal home in America. It always feels like everyone in America has a mansion !
Let me assure you as someone who has lived in America my whole life im in my 50s. I have never been inside a mansion and no one I know has either. It's the media that shows the 1% of Americans who live like that and on shows make it seem like everyone live like that that. The average person lives in less than 2000 square feet in the US. and most of us live paycheck to paycheck that is a fact. I wish that thi is were portrayed more accurately. Even the tv shows of average American show huge houses when they work as police or fire or office workers. We can not afford the house they show on these shows with our salaries.
We don't... I promise lol
No we Don't! We are moving from a 100 year old home as we speak. It's damp, drafty, cold and hot in summer. It's $800 a month and comes with Nothing but the walls! We provided the stove, fridge, a/cs and heaters! It's a nice little home but it needs loads of work. Linens and towels feel wet when you pull them from cabinet to use. TV has clouded the minds of many, sorry for that. We are all trying to make it as best as we can.
I promise that is not the case. Most people live in small old homes. I live in the south, which have many older homes from 20's and the 30's. I live in one of these homes and have struggles with upkeep due to the age.
Definitely not lol
You gave her (and her kids!!!!)the gift of time…..they walked in the door,and Mom knew she didn’t have to clean before she had to start dinner,help with homework,get the meal on the table then clean up after……..maybe it meant Mom could read them their favorite story,or an extra story because you afforded her the extra time. Their home was neat and tidy when you finished……Thanks for sharing your work…….❣️😊❣️😊❣️
I can easily imagine the relief when she opened the door, seeing the house tidy 👍🏻☺
I'd put money on her crying
@@Cole_CrossI absolutely would have
So many like minded people here.
As a mother, the feeling of being "caught up" is one you are constantly chasing but never seem to achieve. You gave her the gift of having that feeling. The chance to breathe and finally feel caught up is absolutely priceless! Blessings to you and the work you do.
As a working single caretaker of a disabled adult, my heart started aching at "the dirtiest room in the house, her room" and basically didn't stop. :') My room got to be a disaster area while the rest of the house was clean for similar reasons. I know all the other single moms are chiming off their appreciation in the comments, but seriously, this sort of thing feels like being pulled onto a life raft when you're drowning.
I didn’t realize how I had done this in my home until I had to prepare for a sleep-over house sitter. It took so much time and work to declutter and clean. Not to mention the dust! I even bought new bedding and pillows because mine were so shabby. He deserved a nice place to sleep but I do too. Thankfully I get to enjoy the new serene space.
It's completely unreasonable for me to look forward to these cleaning videos but they are a real highlight to my day.
Not unreasonable at ALL. Love them.
Nice job, Johnny Jump Up! She will be happy, the kids will notice something's different. 👍👍👍👍
I’m getting a murphy bed wall frame so I could just fold it up messy . Only problem if floor messy I can’t fold it down 😬
i watchnot the best ckeaner and she motivates me to clean y home/ she was thew reason i bought the scrub dadfy sponges . lol
me too!! But I love it! ;)
I too was a single mom for a while and worked EMS, 24 and 12 hour shifts, my parents helped with my 2 kids. This mom is doing well, just a little clutter from daily life. You gave her a nice reset and a breather!
"Not much of a transformation." Are you kidding!? The transformation was amazing! I bet she cried when she got home. I would. Well done, You!
Some people were never taught how to clean and feel at a loss so thank you very much for doing these videos. They really charge me to do jobs I feel overwhelmed to do!!!
This home may not have been as dirty but it was just as satisfying to watch as a hoarder situation. I always learn some tips from you about cleaning too. Thanks!
25:59 -- "Organize it and make sure everything was square and symmetrical. Make sure that the lines the objects made were parallel to each other. Kinda of trick your brain into thinking it is more organized than it actually is. Same amount of stuff there it just looks prettier because everything is square and parallel and perpendicular to each other everything is in a more symmetrical tone."
Love this!🎉😊
Great job and just know she had to be so appreciative. Many years ago I was also a hard working mom of two young children and know it would have meant the world to me❤. Her home isn’t dirty at all and you can tell she does her best to keep it up. It’s just hard being a single mom, working full time and maintaining her home. She just needed some much appreciated help and so glad you could do that for her.
I was also a single working full time mom of two children. Sometimes my mom would come to my house if I had a sick child and, while they slept, she would cook and clean like a whirlwind, like one day she cleaned and organized my entire basement. I am still so very grateful of her efforts.
I wish someone like this would have been around for my mom. 5 kids, no child support. My mother was a nurse and had to be on call for emergencies in the operating room. No time to clean.
I am a single mom and my kids are old enough to help but don't. That’s on me. I work full time and had breast cancer with chemo and my house is a disaster. Wish it was at least clean!🙃
My mother in law used to help me - the best solution I found was to reduce the inventory - at first it feels counterintuitive but once it’s reduced it’s so much easier to keep it clean and tidy even with little kids xx
Your voice is so amazing, you should be working at a radio station. thanks for what you are doing
He really does have an amazing voice! After I watch these videos I like to replay them while I do my own cleaning so I can just listen to him talk😂
Hottest voice on UA-cam no doubt 🥰
I agree,about your voice. It’s very soothing. Im hearing kindness. ❤
Thank you and God Bless
Boxing up the extras in the room made quite a difference, suddenly the floor space and walking space appeared. I'm sure the mom appreciated your sorting the kids shoes, preventing "I only have one shoe Mom!" syndrome. The kitchen when done would have had a tendency to cause a sigh of relief, and a feeling of peace. Nice work and making it possible to take on tasks. The extras you did in the bathroom, shower hook and toilet seat repairs, were nice kindnesses.
Don’t you wish you could fold laundry that fast in real time?
Hi Mr. Newton-John-Travolta! I know this wasn’t a hoarder house but I bet she was so grateful when she got home and all the beds were made and the kitchen sparkled! You did a great job! Congrats on the TikTok going viral! I hope your UA-cam channel gains a bunch of newbies, we have room on bus, even if it’s short! 😉😉
🤣🤣❤️👊
welldone
Thank you for doing this! You blessed her immensely! Single parents need help. Trust me. I know.
@@wendi2819 Well I cannot fault you on your taste in men, but his wife might have something to say about it😂
Single older people still working full time need help too! There aren't enough hours in a day. I know she felt like a princess when she walked into her home that evening. What a blessing❤️. Loved this video so much Olivia Newton John Travolta! 😊. And hey, I am STILL searching for Liquid Gold in my town's stores!
@@LaLadybug2011 Of course they do! I'm sorry I did not give you the attention you were seeking. So many are hurting in this economy!
@LaLadybug2011 so true, definitely, but really more important for when there are kids living in the mess or chaos. or very elderly (e.g. not 50, 60, 70s, i’m talking 85+), for safety reasons. and because they deserve it. imo.
*eta: or disabled
@LaLadybug2011, try looking at a local hardware store. Some place that has been around a long time. I recently had a hard time finding Barkeepers Friend, I could only find liquid when I just wanted the powder.
I was her several years ago. You are a gift from God. I hope someone gives her some pillow cases--finding money for that is often really tough. I love the way you did the bed with the stuffed animals.
surprising how expensive bedclothes are, especially the actual pillows themselves! easy way if can’t afford pillowcases, just take the top sheet (especially good if a bigger one than the bed size) and put it entirely over the bed, with the pillows underneath. top sheets are sometimes not otherwise in use by people anyway and can come with a bed kit (like a bed in a bag, which sometimes only come with one or two pillowcases). a blanket can work for this purpose too. blankets can be cheaper, actually. like from the dollar store or whatever. or just cheaper wherever (eg target, walmart)…
Savers or other thrift shops are the way to go for bed linens
I wish there was a way to have an Amazon wishlist to allow you to leave items the family needs.
A little help goes a long way!! My daughter works 12 hour night shifts as an RN…. I clean her apartment for her because she gets behind from having such a busy schedule 😎
My mom used to come over and just help out. We had a small son and I worked full time. Just her coming over and doing the dishes and tidying up was a miracle to me.
Such a kindness for a Mom who has to be counting the hours in the day. What a hero.
Darn, you're good. I remember those days of feeling overwhelmed and a bit crabby because I couldn't do it all. Dealing with a toddler, an ailing mother, a full time high stress career on the road, and life was just one big chaotic mess. I miss my mom now & what I wouldn't give to have that chaos back. Funny, how when you think it's so bad and one day you end up missing that nightmare. Wish we had people like you around in the early 2000's.
Yes! Keeping it together is hard! What worked well for me was being on a schedule, putting things back immediately after using it, everyone cleaning as we go including dishes. With this method, there was very little left to clean during cleaning times. At the time, I worked full time, in college full time, single mom with a house and 3 kids. My house stayed cleaned. The kids were on board. I would get up at 5, cook a meal that didn’t take for ever. Throw a load in the laundry, come home on lunch to fold. Kids warmed the food up when they got home from school. They had a nap, chore and study schedule. I took classes in the evenings, 3 days per week. I graduated with honors, all three kids were honors students. I stayed busy but the house was clean always.
As a once-a-single-parent who attended college and worked early in my son’s life, I can attest to any parent - single or married - to not be completely overwhelmed and need help at some point. Life happens. I’m grateful this mom can get some much needed cleaning and organizational help!!
I Love that you're helping a single mom. I raised four kids on my own with no family or father support. People judge single moms and rarely help them. Three of my children were disabled, meaning I had to be there. So I had to figure out how to make money from home. Reselling wasn't easy without the internet. The job led to disability, and now after the depression of finally being an empty nester in 2020. Yes! they are all successfully on their own with the help of SS, but independent. I am overwhelmed. If there's anyone in Albuquerque that does this. This poor (fixed income) lady would be ever so grateful. I'd find a way to pay a little. You are really appreciated on this job. Thank you very much for shining your Light on the plight of being a single mom.
Her child or children had to be delighted to see their bed. Love what you do with the stuffed animals and blankets.
I had a friend who did this for me when I was working two jobs. I came home, noticed wasn’t tripping over my clothes in the hallway and just start crying. She cleaned my entire apartment. It wasn’t bad, just clothes on the floor and some dishes in the sink. But it made me so happy and grateful. I’m actually very neat and clean, but when I’m tired I just can’t keep up.
Storm kicking Johnny ❤❤❤ your a trip❤❤❤ your voice calms my butt down like you wouldn't believe. Thank you! Your the BEST❤❤❤
your videos are turning into a buddy system for my adhd. You clean, I clean. Winter’s been over for two seasons and I finally cleaned up and put away my gloves, hats and shawls, changed the sheets on my bed, did the dishes, put away laundry and cleaned the washing machine filter.
I loved this video so much! I remember being a working mom and trying to stay on top of stuff all the time. I was fortunate enough to be able to afford a cleaning person every other week and she was amazing and kept us on track. So I know what a blessing you are to the people you help with cleaning and organization.
I had stumbled upon your channel by chance. I love organization, cleaning and minimalism videos.
So, why does your channel stands out? Your voice.
I can actually play the videos and listen to it like i enjoy listening to my favourite radio. Your cool DJ voice has lots of potential.
Thank you for your lovely act of love and kindness.
Love from Malaysia. 🎉
If Liquid Gold is not already sponsoring you, their ad department needs a talking to, son!
As a working single mum myself , She's got to much stuff I had too much stuff, we never get time to decluttering enough then we buy stuff so nothing changes!!
I downloaded goodbye things, It really helped me with the final push I needed, As humans we don't need a lot to survive, we don't need another bag, top, gadgets etc. It's just having awareness and been mindful of what you do buy. Its taken me over a year and its journey. My house is easier to clean with less items in it. Great video
I'd just call this a "we got busy" house ❤ You do amazing work❤ My kids make do their check lists and make their beds each morning..it helps them feel organized (they all have autism and 3 or 5 have ADHD). Even if nothing else gets done, they feel accomplished and have a space to decompress
Listen, Olivia Newton Kenobi DiCaprio, we are usually on the same page about everything but the fact you didn't flip that drawer handle back down at 25:50 is driving me bananas.
I bet the mom and kids loved coming home to organized rooms! I love your empathy towards others and their situations, and the transformations you make to their homes. What a gift 💝
While I prefer the cleaning of hoarder houses more, it is good to see a regular home get done once in awhile. It motivates you to get busy and square away your own home! thanks!!👍
Every time I'm at my best friend's house I always help out with laundry. Some of the simplest things are a challenge when you are a single working mom. There is usually laundry on her bed and so when we sit and talk I fold, it's a ADD thing
❤
I love how caring and respectful you are of the kids toys and belongings
Happy to see another video! Already binge watched the others. Your voice is soothing. You are an inspiration and motivation for those of us who have a difficult time getting going. The older I get, the more difficult it becomes bc I tire more easily. So kind of you to help this lady out. My daughter is a single working mom and a cancer survivor and constantly works to keep her home immaculate but stays exhausted in doing so. God bless you and your family.
I think I must be the most unfeminine woman I know when it comes to having a bunch of pillows on my bed. I have NEVER wanted a stack of pillows on my bed because I see it as a bunch of stuff I have to move every night before I can go to bed and a bunch of stuff I have to put back on every morning and that just seems like a bunch of unnecessary work to me. I have the two pillows that should be on the bed and that's it! I know that most women LOVE all those pillows but I just never have.
Not me! Two pillows and one in a different color pillow case.
I don’t really like moving a stack of pillows around the room either
I was thinking, while watching you place the stuffed toys, about how important those toys are to kids, and how delighted they would be to see them all waiting for them when they get home, and then you said you liked to make them look like they were taking a group photo. You’re pretty cool, Olivia-Newton-John-Travolta 😂
You are amazing! I just smiled my whole way through this video. Well, sometimes I actually broke that up with laughter, but even when I wasn’t laughing I was still smiling. It makes me so happy that this mom had something really nice to come home to and she and her kids can just relax and have a nice weekend. It also makes me really happy that 1,000,000+ people discovered you on TikTok in the last couple days! Congratulations, that is crazy cool! And the The way that you put all of those stuffed animals on the bed, that was just the sweetest thing! You are a big ole spin kicking sweetheart ❤ I hope that you and your family have a wonderful weekend!
So nice of you to give her a bit of time to relax! She will, no doubt, jump back in tomorrow!
What a relief and pleasure she must’ve felt coming home to this…..you’re fantastic 💙
I like how you tell us stories of your prowess in kicking up stuff etc and then just allow a moment of silence so we have time to process what we just heard and really let it sink in, how awesome you are. Thanks, we need that moment to collect ourselves. I hope Jason et all are doing great!
I just wanted to write this very same thing in his previous video! I like his comments and need and enjoy the silences that follow so it can sink and I have time to ponder.
I thought something was wrong with my headphones 😂
I love her corner kitchen sink with windows. That would be my happiest place to clean, especially in the spring with the windows open.
I'm sure your body hurts after so much work of helping these people but remember every ache you feel is the outcome of giving a person an opportunity of continuing to live a better life. You're an angel and a super hero. God bless you and your family. Jason is an angel as well❤❤❤❤
I have chronic pain and things like bending over is really not possible all the time. So the fact you help people in need is amazing.
Im a stay at home mom and I tell ya. I give all the single working moms all the respect because. I struggle to get my cleaning done all while watching my 3 year old and it can be overwhelming. Before I was married I worked a lot of over time as a Nursing assistant but didn't have a child at that time and I was always so tired that it made getting my home cleaned. I couldn't imagine doing that with a child. Oh and thanks for the follow on Tik Tok son!!!! You spin kicking the storm had me rolling!!!!!! 😂 Oh and that video is up from 1.7 to 2.1 million. Congratulations!!!
Spin kicked a soul-warming sigh of relief right into that mama's heart, I tell ya!!!!! I don't like stuffed animals (unless they are for the doggies and get demolished) and even I WANTED TO JUMP INTO THAT FLUFFY BED FULL OF FRIENDS.
I use Weimes on our stainless steel fridge, sinks, kettle etc. Its just mineral oil byt chemically altered. A word i never remember...conversion? You just rub and buff like polishing. It leaves no film but it also buffers future marks. We have a Bunn coffee pot. I use magic brand calcium shower cleaner around top where you pot water as that is plastic and silver base then use Weimers. It helps the calcium not stick as much.
❤ the job you do for people who need the help.
This was really beautiful. I appreciate how well you model being caring and respectful of people and the lives they live. God bless you!
Was a working Mom with kids and know how hard it is to juggle many tasks. Clean was always so important to me and when I could at times get a little help in my home it was so appreciated. I'm sure you made this ladies day when she got home from work to a clean house. Amazing.
You gave her the cleaning she would probably like to do if there was just more time. Such a great gift you give.
The bed with all the stuffed animals in a cute arrangement proves once again what a kind person you are!
All in all you made this house look so welcoming!
Watching from WA State, again. I’m still stuck on video of Jason’s yard. He really is a fortunate young man. As for this video, I am still amazed that you do the extras - fold clothes, organize closets, make beds, fix little things. Also, I like the uncluttered kitchen. Looks like just the minimal on the counters. I bet this single mom was very appreciative when she came home. I love the effect of Liquid Gold. Anticipate next video. 😊
Hi Olivia Newton John Travolta,
what a nice pseudonym!
I want to thank you again 4 your precious work & videos!
Such worthy help 4 people who need some, here a single working mum.
Have been one myself all my working life.
Want to become a member!
Now on holidays in Africa.
Once I am back in my country I will join.
I like the way you clean up. Would do it same way. Plus I share your sense of order & arranging things.
🙋🏼♀️🇩🇪
Hey Midwest! Awesome video! The transitions are so clean. I just bought a "oh look, more dishes" shirt! I can't wait! Much love from Australia!
❤️❤️❤️👊
About the fridge, @aurikatariina uses power paste on stainless steel! She is from Finland, I don't know if you have that product in the US.
Thank you so much for your hard work. You give people a so much needed break and a chance to start all over. You are helping people continue with their lives. We all get stuck in a hole at times. You're an angel on earth
❤️❤️👊
Thank You For All You Do For Others. God Bless You Always, Forever.
I was having the roughest night I’ve had in a while, so the timing for this video was perfect! Thank you for making my day a bit better :)
Hey SKJ (Spin Kick Johnny)..
To add to your SS sink cleaning. (You probably know this already). Get a sponge sandpaper block, or wet-or-dry sandpaper, 80 grit or so. Using the original sanding directions you can wet sand the Stainless Steel back to it's original look. I do this to ours once in a while when it starts looking scratchy. Thanks for the videos, wisdom, and fun! Sandy & Brad.
When you said "if you don't like it , SUCK IT!" I spit my tea out! You are a cool dude.
What you do is truly saving lives as in drastically improving the quality of many lives. It's just pure human care and compassion and support we all should be giving each other, so many of us need.
I rather spend 10 mins doing dishes then cleaning them off then loading them then waiting 45 mins for them to get done. You did awesome. Very kind of you to help her & her family!
Ultra Fine, Spin Kickin' Johnny strikes again!! ✨✨ Amazing before and after photos!! Thank you for your kindness in helping people in need while making us laugh and having fun watching. 😁👍
You have given a priceless gift to this lady and her family, thank you 👏 We are very lucky to have a cleaner (every week) and I call her my ‘sanity restorer’ and she’s the person who will push me when we tackle a decluttering job (I’ve a very hard time letting go of stuff but I’m very slowly getting better). Thank you for being such a kind, generous and thoughtful spin kicking man. Have a great week. Mary, Joes wife 👏👍💪💐🙏
Amazing numbers. Johnny on the Spot from Midwest Cleaning -- Cleans Up! Local Boy Does Us Proud
I think this is the best gift you can give someone.. To be able to come home to a clean house and just breathe a sigh of relief. I'm guessing this not only made her day/week but also her year !
Everything looked so tidy when you finished. You do great work. I hope she was able to get a bubble bath night and relax. You always rock. Keep it up spin kick man.❤
What a relief and joy that lucky lady must have felt when she came home from work to see her house so spotless !
I had an American girl cleaning book and a tip I’ll never forget is making the bed first. It’s been with me like 17 years lol. Biggest motivator to keep going
It is a glass of water and vinegar that works. It loosens all the gunk and makes it easy to wipe out. The vinegar also kills the smell. It works wonders for microwaves and ovens.
I live In a home from the 30s, it is a rent home and the company refuses to come fix anything. It has been frusterating maintaing because it is falling apart. I work full time, go to university and run a small buisness. My daughter is 13 and husband is not domesticated. It gets to be completely overwhelming trying to keep up with anything. I work with a power hour. A power hour is a set hour of time to accomplish whatever you can without stopping. With ADHD, I find it to be helpful with my busy schedule.
I can imagine the joy that lady felt when she got home :)
I’d just put 2 stuffed toys on the bed - because you know the rest will end up on the floor once the kids get in.
I’m not autistic but I hate mechanical sounds like dishwashers; when I bought my last one I just asked the salesperson, Which is your quietest dishwasher? He said, This one.
I bought that sucker without even looking inside it.
I'm sure that this single mom really appreciates your hard work. You are a blessing!!
One thing I learned to help my brain was that there is a difference between cleaning and tidying. Tidying is the battle with out of place items. Cleaning is the battle with the dirt and grunge. It is easier to mentally process the work by splitting the definition.
This woman's cleaning issues sound kinda like mine. I have severe depression, work part time and carer for my mum, my place is usually clean, but not.
Even though I have an inspection tomorrow morning, I'm almost done, quick 1 hour per room tidy, floors and I have IKEA organization stuff for the kitchen arriving today, loo in the morning. 😁💃
I watch these type of videos while I'm having my wake up coffee routine for motivation.
As a fellow single-full-time-working-teacher-mom, thank you!! I have two daughters and two fur babies. After working all day as a middle school math teacher, it would be heaven to come back to a clean home. Awesome!!
I was so glad to see the video post early… It’s been a stressful day of baking that started at 3AM this morning. Thankfully, Im nearing the end for today. Just needed a little motivation to finish and clean this sticky kitchen! Ha!!
Your videos with the commentary really are relaxing. You should of been in broadcasting! Welp!! I’d better get moving before I catch myself napping!! Thanks for all you do. You are appreciated. God bless you friend ❤
Oh, And congratulations on those numbers!!! 🎉
I'm moving back into my parents home with my fiance and we're both going to be doing this for my mother since she's a full-time worker and all her free time goes to taking care of pets, dishes, laundry and cooking. She has zero time for decluttering, cleaning, dusting, etc. My dad is basically a second child however now is temporarily disabled on top of it. This is such a huge help to whoever needs it.
I get up at 3am, leave home at 3:30 and usually return at 5 or 6pm. It takes me 2 hours to get to work and 2 hours to get back home. I have 70 pet chickens and take care of 3 to 4 stray cats. Parents are in a differen country, no friends ... I so wish I had someone like you in my area who could help me, but I have never heard of anyone being like you in Germany, to be honest ... 😢 Such great work and done with so much love ... ❤
You're a good guy, the world could use more like you.
See you on Saturday, take care.
Nice job Spin. Kicking Johnny. Like the video.❤
As a clean/organizer freak, I find your videos extremely satisfying..
While waiting for our house to close escrow, we lived with our daughter. We used our moving tubs as a base for guest inflatable mattress. But you could do this with a regular mattress.
If you ever make your way to North Carolina, I'm a single parent, and my home is cluttered, and it's shameful. I'm watching your video today, and I'm going to get into the worst room in the house... mine. Say a prayer that I don't give up. It's easy to start but so incredibly hard to finish.
Here's a cleaning tip for the expert : If you ever notice the 'gung ring' starting to build up in your bathroom sink pipe below the drain hole and down near to the trap ( especially true if you have one of those screw in, pop up/down stoppers ? ) Awkward to get rid of, right, since drain cleaners normally can't 'sit there and clean it' properly ? Unscrew and remove the stopper, and a bottle cleaner brush gets rid of it, with a few quick swishes, and it looks as good and clean as new when you're done ( and it also smells better) ! Remember not to use it for any bottles again, though, because that would just be gross - 'one brush, one use' is the rule here !! Try it - you'll like it ! ;)
I was a single mom. And with undiagnosed ADD at the time. When my son was 5 or 6, our apartment got broken into by some teens in the next building. They took my sons Nintendo and a six pack of Coke but left my Malibu Rum. The police came over and pointed to the mess on the floor and asked if that was done in the burglary. Nope, that's all me.
I love how you arranged all of the stufties on the bed! SO sweet. ;)
I was a single parent for many years. Never asked for help because I didn't feel worthy enough. I'm so glad this single mom has you on her side. You have a kind heart and a sense of humor. PS - I don't feel unworthy anymore, if you were worried about me. ;D
