Yes. This is a compilation of all the cleaning at his house so people didn't have to search each one. But yes, in his new house, he has done much better keeping it clean.
@@CleanFreakGermaphobe I've also watched the other videos. Seeing the floor transformation was completely, one hundred percent insane. You guys did such a great job. I think I actually watched the floor video more than once. I'm sorry for your loss. A relative of mine on my mom's side lost her husband, and she died shortly after he did, and on my father's side, a relative who lost her sons - who were fully grown - died shortly after they did, so I can understand - distantly - how difficult that is - difficult and devastating, etc., etc.. Loss and grief are difficult.
It is so wonderful that you did this huge clean up. My problem is,why did it take so long for him to receive help. It took 14 years to have family give him loving care. I hope this is a reminder to everyone. Look after your elderly family,friends and neighbors. ❤
@@jenanderson5255 Same thing here. My elderly mom hates to clean but also won't let anyone else do it. So when I stay there I sneakily do it when she's out. 🤫
I could hear in his answer that he is not going to clean. As long as he has not got help for his depression and mourning and does not stop smoking, things will not change.
Great video. Thanks for helping the widower. I'd like to suggest the next time ya need to scrub a floor,use a paint scaper on the dry gunk then sweep up the contents and place in trash. This has helped me quite a few times over the years (and i don't have to constantly buy more cleaning products). Stay safe and be well.
The wall behind the stove in the house I rent is faux brick, that they painted white. It had years of accumulation of grease and food and I could never get it clean. I must have tried 10 different degreasers and cleaners. I was scrubbing the wall over the sink (next to the stove) I had a scrub brush and some ajax (like comet powder) I ran it along the edge of the fake brick while cleaning the wall and it left a white streak. I grabbed a bucket of clean water the ajax and my scrub brush and scrubbed until that brick was white. Amazing stuff.
I found this 25 years ago. I put the vent filter in the sink with Totally Awesome and it came out looking new. It's not as strong as it was back then, but it still works
This was a dramatic improvement, and obviously a labor of love! Another excellent job!!! I hate to even mention this, but the top surface on many/most stoves lifts up, and whatever the top looks like is typically repeated to a major extent under that top. I know there isn't time for showing all the work that was done in a brief video, but hopefully, you were able to clean up the hidy hole under the top.
The top of most electric stoves does indeed lift up, but with a gas stove, it’s an entirely different story, and can cause huge damage to the gas lines, if not done in the proper order, when disassembling the top! Learned from experience
I have a gas stove/over. The top does life up. Mine is older and has a vent on the top to let the heat out of the oven. My 29 yr old didn't know and left a plastic bag on top and it started to melt while roasting some veggies.
I'm in my 50's, but my mom and a couple of other army wives used to clean quarters - homes - of other service members who moved to different states. They used trash bags and ammonia in them to clean stoves/ovens and the parts. Left them in the bags over night tho. I was a pre teen and I had to go with them 🙎🏿. They also used lye on somethings.
I been using Ammonia to clean my stove grates. It's part of Speing Cleaning I place them in a trash bag sit in a tote, pour ammonia some water and dawn, let it sit outside over night. ❤
It's sad how most mens life will just fall apart on every side after the death of their wife. But, women tend to thrive after the death of their husband. I thinks that's because women (of the boomer gen) do all the household chores and the men don't. So, mens homes and hygiene just fall apart after she dies. But women carry on with those chores, if not have less of them, now that's he's passed.
Maybe she was a homemaker and he never had to deal with any of this stuff. Grief is real I know I’m living it right now there are trauma places where you just can’t go to go clean when it’s the last place. You’re spouse has been.
Idk if you have one but i think adding a floor squeegee would probably be a great thing to add to your tools. It would have helped with that floor, and maybe a dust pan to pick up the yuk so you dont need to use so much to wipe it up.
I always use the same process for cleaning but I never use rags or paper towels to wipe the sludge off, I used a plastic putty knife, regular putty knife or razor blade (depending on the surface) It saved me so much time and money. It was also faster and easier.
why not? it couldn't be any worse than the chemicals in food, "vaccines" or chemtrails. at least the water is treated, albeit with fluoride , but i digress.
I wish I knew these tricks when I moved into my first rental house. The appliances were so caked with muck that I got a move-in discount. It took hours of scrubbing on each to get them clean.
@@CleanFreakGermaphobe We also have a few fun salt and pepper shakers. One is a set of balloon animal dog - shaped salt and pepper shakers. But we also have a pair of birds - sparrows or finches or something like that - with a nest, and a pair of rabbits, and a pair of more ordinary round salt and pepper shakers that match my mom's ordinary, everyday Corelle dishes set, which she's had since the late 80s I think. But we're going to be getting rid of the bird-shaped salt and pepper shakers and the rabbit-shaped ones - if we haven't already.
You are a miracle worker! I love how you kept saying how much fun you had cleaning. That's what I need...a wife that when you ask her do you want to go have fun shopping says: "No, I am going to have a bunch of fun just cleaning the house" 😊
@@CleanFreakGermaphobe I use easy off on hard water film buildup on tub and shower tiles. I have extremely hard water and don’t like water softener water.
@@James-ol6rw A scraper works really well on that, if you want to use less chemicals. I got a big red one from lowe's which was also pretty cheap. (Hyper Tough brand, I think) It took off years of mineral buildup from the sprinklers spraying the windows.
If you clean regularly, you don’t need harsh chemicals. Dish soap and water works for light cleaning on almost everything . The goal is to prevent big messes, not to conquer them.
I’ve seen this before. BLESS him. Grief and your wife doing all the cleaning causes this.

you can't help someone who refuses it. Doesn't matter what you're trying to help with, if they don't want help they wont let you help.

Learned helplessness. Why house work isn’t women’s work.
Or hire someone to come clean. It's not rocket science. There's not enough anyone could pay me or get me to clean this mess.
RIP mop. Thank you for your service 🫡
UA-camr Aurikatarina swears by oven cleaner and plastic wrap. Great job!
I could hear in his answer that he is not going to clean. As long as he has not got help for his depression and mourning and does not stop smoking, things will not change.
It's nice when things can be cleaned/ salvaged instead of just replaced.
I can't imagine what his lungs look like.😞
Your video would be much better without the (loud) music, I don’t like to watch it with sound on.

You are right. I've done that. I cleaned my grandma's sink that way.
Another lesson is DON’T SMOKE !

A master class in cleaning. WELL DONE!! Your effort here is not wasted in teaching us what can be done and the tools to do it with. wow~
my heart breaks for his grief 😞
I am shocked on how well the dollar one worked
The dollar tree one is surprisingly good at cutting grease

That is a remarkable transformation. Just remarkable. Thank you.
That floor definitely needs a heavy duty scrub brush / deck mop
I’d hate to see his bathroom! The whole house must be a disaster.
You made an excellent job but in 6 mth time it will be just as bad!
Lazy man
With the cost of plastic wrap, I would have purchased trash bags.
Why don't I get notifications when you post? That will be corrected! Your channel is a MUST! I have already learned so much from this one video. Tyfs!
I am so glad these videos are helpful😃. Thank you.
I once used easy off to clean some oven burner tins and it stripped the stainless right off my sink! I'm amazed the linoleum didn't just dissolve 😅
In germany we say "Die Wohnung ist der Spiegel der Seele"
-the flat is the mirror of the soul
Love your cleaning tip for kitchen figurines!

incredible transformation
Grief or not, this is despicable.
Maybe she was a homemaker and he never had to deal with any of this stuff.
Grief is real I know I’m living it right now there are trauma places where you just can’t go to go clean when it’s the last place. You’re spouse has been.
You can put the top stove grates inside the self cleaning oven and run it through its cycle. Works like magic.
Poor woman. What makes anybody to live like this?
Why wash all that grease down the sink , that’s daft, especially after cleaning it.
Idk if you have one but i think adding a floor squeegee would probably be a great thing to add to your tools. It would have helped with that floor, and maybe a dust pan to pick up the yuk so you dont need to use so much to wipe it up.
I always use the same process for cleaning but I never use rags or paper towels to wipe the sludge off, I used a plastic putty knife, regular putty knife or razor blade (depending on the surface) It saved me so much time and money. It was also faster and easier.
I'd use a squeegee. A long one, like for business windows.
Great job!
Please don’t squeeze that grease down the kitchen sink!! You’ll clog it!!
You should Not be putting the floor chemicals in the water system , put in in the trash
why not? it couldn't be any worse than the chemicals in food, "vaccines" or chemtrails. at least the water is treated, albeit with fluoride , but i digress.
Miraculous before and afters. Wow
I have never seen such an floor.
13:58 that floor looks like a multi-step cleaning project, no matter what. I don’t think that would have been a one & done kinda thing.
I wish I knew these tricks when I moved into my first rental house. The appliances were so caked with muck that I got a move-in discount. It took hours of scrubbing on each to get them clean.
Floor, your cleaner of Ur choice then Scrubs with a broom👍
That would be a major soak. You’re not putting enough products on it. Too much scrubbing- great job on that stove but that floor!?!?!
That's what we found at the end. Letting it sit overnight worked like a charm
Cheap and easier to retile
Long videos are much better. I came to your channel for this one.
Thank you and welcome!
Those stove top grates were GRAY?! 🐭💀
I've seen others using oven cleaner on thick greasy surfaces - is that also ammonia?
Extra large self cleaning oven.😂😅
Wow really nasty cleaning job
Bless you for cleaning this house
Gag worthy.
Yeah the Saran Wrap is a game changer ❤️
Lawn bags cover more space. Cut open and place to keep cleaners moist.
@@tinytt854 ohhhh thanks for that tip 😊
I’d have to buy a new stove!
You pulling out that stove & fridge ?
You have to be careful with the gas lines when pulling out gas appliances.
@@sheelfjohnson , yes, take a look behind & see how far you can pull it out , not rocket science brethren
Yay top 3 comments and top 54 likes. Love this channel. Best to you and your family. Thanks for making these videos. Happy Valentine's Day.
Thank you so much. We loved helping this sweet man out. Happy valentines day to you too😃

Awesome ...
I wouldn't want to light those burners after chemicals were dumped straight in those pans. Whoosh!
Oh nooo I was hoping this was an update :(
Тоже странный подход - у меня больше нет жены, которая убиралась, значит никто не будет больше убираться в доме. А результат работы потрясающий.
I wouldn’t have rinsed all that grease down the kitchen sink drain, yikes! Love the video otherwise❤
Please don’t tell me you’re putting that grease down the sink. Bye bye plumbing.
Amazing!!!
I can't think how his bed and bathroom look like. No excuse...
Have you ever thought about using stainless steel pads to scrub spots like the floor?
Steel pads are too small.
Spray on Greased Lightning on the figurines and the nicotine, grease, and dirt comes right off and rinse. I smoke, I know it works.
You are a miracle worker! I love how you kept saying how much fun you had cleaning. That's what I need...a wife that when you ask her do you want to go have fun shopping says: "No, I am going to have a bunch of fun just cleaning the house" 😊
😏. Not gonna happen dude. 😂
Where did u wash figurines? That’s not his sink.
Then why bother with the cleaning when he can't be bothered to change he needs to learn to clean or it will be the same as before 👎👎👎😠😠😠😠😠😠
Sometimes a loss as extreme as your significant other YOU just need a boost to get out of that depression
Um balde com água sabão e um esfregão tinha resolvido muito mais rápido
Sí
Easy off Oven cleaner?
Yes. It is not recommended for linoleum floors. We used it because nothing else worked and then floor was ruined anyways. But it worked so well!
@@CleanFreakGermaphobe I use easy off on hard water film buildup on tub and shower tiles. I have extremely hard water and don’t like water softener water.

You need a better cleaner. Something you don't have to saturate and cover in plastic
If you clean regularly, you don’t need harsh chemicals. Dish soap and water works for light cleaning on almost everything . The goal is to prevent big messes, not to conquer them.
Wander what his arteries look like
Nope me lino for me...
Isn’t this the third time you’ve used this video…..
It’s actually 3 videos from the same house, put together. You must be a long time viewer, thank you!
@@CleanFreakGermaphobe I was curious if he is keeping things cleaner now - do you know? And hopefully he's still doing well🙏
Ca aurait été plus rapide et moins salissant de lui retrouver une femme...
Why are you cleaning it - doesn't it need to be removed?
Why buy new when it can be cleaned?
That's called "not being Lazy".
Thanks!
Biggest super thanks in the history of our channel. Thank you so much!
