I'm a maid at a hotel and this makes me want to start that cleaning business I always thought about. I use your tips at work and I'm kind of the best housekeeper ever. I do occasionally spin kick things though and that is frowned upon.
A lovely lady I cleaned with taught me to keep cleaning chemicals in a camping cooler in my car to protect them from heat stress during the summer! No ice in it, but buffered the temperature change really well.
You know you can say 'ass', it really only means donkey. Jack ass (male donkey) -Jane- Jill ass (female donkey). That's their original name before someone decided to start calling them donkeys.
I think you might be. I'm on the east coast and an trying to work out the time difference. Good news, you got a gift!oh. Edit this might be the first of the 2 times a week vid
@@ShellyS2060 Yes, indeed. I think the end of the video makes it clear this is no accident. However, that "butt up on the roof" members-only video I saw previously was something. :D
I started watching your channel about a month ago after a friend kept after me to watch some of your videos. She knows I don't enjoy housework. Now I'm hooked, and my apartment is cleaner than it has ever been. I've been slowly adding some of these products to my home stock. The great thing is that every video I watch gets me off my butt and cleaning. I really appreciate your help for single parents who have become overwhelmed. I've been in that spot myself, and I can empathize. Thanks for the midweek video.
Watching couple months now. Hoping for enough motivation to just clean the one presently living in. Hasn't come yet. 🤢. Not a member. Do like your videos, keep hoping.
I am inspired too! I've been working my way through my house a room at a time since I started watching your videos, and I can't believe how clean my house is now! Makes me feel good and your alcohol window mix is fantastic, works better than any window cleaner I've ever used. Thank you and I ❤Jason. 😁
I just found your channel a couple weeks ago. I love it. You reminded of me long ago. I am now 65+ and for 5 years I had a small cleaning business back when I just out of school . I cleaned locally which was a lake town. So I cleaned lake homes and had weekends of. Had lots of energy then. Then found a job and started caring for the sick & elderly. Did that till I had to retire. Thank you for your video's. 😊
19:41 I feel like I just took an advanced Home Ec class. Thanks for all the info about what products to use for different types of cleaning. You help a lot of people.
I think you've said it best. This is not a glamorous business and it's something that I think you've been able to sustain because you have a genuine interest in cleaning, like a natural affinity for it. People get all too obsessed with the idea of making money that they forget to first enjoy the work they're doing before they're able to focus on how to make money to keep it going. You don't really love a job unless you can see yourself doing it for free.
I couldn't have said it better. I'm a librarian and many, many people come to me for advice and information about employment, careers and jobs. I'm printing it out, removing the word "cleaning." This bit of advice is applicable to every profession.
This is the most educational, direct, non-fluff “how to” video I’ve ever seen WOW!! So many scammers out there charging thousands of dollars for the knowledge you just dropped. You’re amazing ❤
You're incredible. I have autism also and have enjoyed organizing people's offices and homes throughout my life. Never tackled projects as large as you do, but you're inspiring me. So many disabled and elderly people as well as single parents really need help with this. We have some organizers In the area but they can be a little judgy and expensive. I really like your approach. Thanks for posting your videos and sharing them with us.
I used to own a cleaning biz with my ex-husband. I really loved it as I had always loved cleaning other people's houses..just not my own lol Now your videos have pulled me out of huge depression. It was not pretty. I also have ADD and finally my house is getting back in order. Thank you!
I've always wanted to do this myself. Growing up, any time I went to a family members house or a friends house, I'd just start randomly cleaning because I enjoyed it. People would joke all the time that they want me to come to their house and clean lol. Sometimes people would get embarrassed and I felt bad about that. I always just told them that cleaning is enjoyable to me and I really love helping people. One time, I cleaned my grandmother's house and she was a smoker. After cleaning her walls she was like, "omg I thought I was going to have to paint and now I don't have to!" That made me very happy. Being good at cleaning was one thing I knew people liked about me so getting that praise was addictive lol. Once in awhile, I visit my parents and clean for them. It's something I've done for years.
We have the same kit! I keep two kits ready to go, it makes life easier. I own a cleaning business, and my preferred method of dusting is smacking it right where it's at. It leaves immediately. Your spinkick method is also very reliable. 😊❤
Your business model is truly exceptional. It's no wonder it's doing so well! Others can certainly take inspiration from the integrity and care you put into your business. I can see this booming big time. Well done! 👏
Thank you for your intergrity, genuine heart, and general freaking kick-butt awesomeness! Glad to support. You are an inspiration. I hope to one day be able to help others in my community the way that you support yours.
Thank you for doing this for the adults who can't for whatever reason manage their home. Thank you because I see there are kids living in some pretty bad messes that they can't control which is stressful and anxiety provoking for a lot of them ~ I am sure you are helping a lot of children feel more comfortable at home.
I love your videos so much. It takes a special person to be able to do what you do and I know the people you help are probably so grateful. I love my "Oh look, more dishes" t-shirt, I chuckle every time you say that in a video, because there is always more dishes. I appreciate you and everything you do! (and Jason too!)
I actually work as a cook at my local senior center and there's ALWAYS more dishes so I plan on getting that T-shirt just for work....maybe 5 different ones. Haha
A non accidental extra video crammed with super info on what's needed, besides being very energetic, fit and fabulous. Blessings to you and your family.
I went and bought a bottle of Clean Freak after seeing it in your videos and I've gotten things clean that I never thought I would!! We had nasty grease build up stuck on our countertop for my whole life (I'm living at home taking care of my elderly parent) and I FINALLY got it off! Thank you for recommending it!!
@@meganbessenbacher7107 no it's not? It's solvents, cleaning agents and sodium carbonate. And some viscosity modifiers to keep it from being too liquid and to make it stick to surfaces.
@MeMyselfetMoi I never argue for the sake of being right, certainly not with fellow women, as I know we are all beautiful warrior queens. I am sure that there are ingredients that make it marketable, but sodium bi carbonate is baking soda and when you mix it with dawn it makes a paste, that is like a magic eraser in a bucket. I learned this accidentally because my littles wanted to make slime, and I had no contact lens solution or bottle of glue, but I had pounds of baking soda and dawn, which was an alternative recipe. It didn't make slime it kinda made putty so we played and as I started cleaning up I decided to use some extra to see if I could get a life-size crayon person off the wall, BAM rubbed it on dry rubbed in circles with my hand it came off like a magic eraser on steroids!! I use it for everything now! I don't know any of these things cause I'm great or anything. I'm mentally disabled (brain damage) I can't even make a meal anymore. But my allergies and OCD and inability to do much of anything else leave me to experiment and research a lot! Like unhealthy amounts. I experimented with the power paste, pink stuff, and slime fail. Compared ingredients and learned scientific names...it's an obsession, really. But really truly try it. You will never regret it!
A homemade cleaner I use in the bathroom for lime scale is 1/4 Dawn dish soap, 1/2 vinegar, 1/4 water. To get lime scale off glass shower doors let it sit for 20 minutes you may need to do it twice but this takes the lime scale away works like scrubbing bubbles but way cheaper.
You can switch vinegar for citric acid to give it a kick. It's stronger, and no vinegar smell!😊 (Citric acid is what's in those specialized cleaners for expensive coffee makers like Nespresso. I use food grade and it melts any mineral deposits away in no time. I even did a toilet once that even the pumice couldn't clean. )
@@masterofshadows8904 lol it's an amazing cleaner! Look it up, so many uses , even bath bombs lol actually, some even make effervescent cleaning tablets for their toilets !
This is a great channel and I love your honesty. Cleaning time-lapses are the best but your personality makes it even better. Keep up the good work man!
Awesome!! Why are folks watching (41K views) and not giving you a thumbs up?? This is a pattern I've just noticed and so I want to encourage everyone who watches to say "thank you" with a thumbs up, for all your hard work cleaning and putting these videos together!! On the other hand...cloning Jason is a scary thought...eek!!
Hey, I can’t believe it’s not butta. (Yes, butta). It’s Saran Wrap Sally here! Recommending you put plastic wrap over the oven cleaner spray and let it sit while you clean other things. It’s amazing!
this is pretty much how I run our household with the cleaning and the supplies. I keep at least one backup of everything especially on items I use a lot of I really stock up. gloves, dish soap, laundry soap, dishwasher detergent, trash bags, paper towels, toilet paper, toilet cleaner, disinfecting wipes and so on.. I think its just good practice to keep a backup supply so you always have what you need to run your household or your business. thank you for sharing this with us 🙂
You don’t need the ‘hype’ because you Are the hype. Enjoyed watching this and hearing about your experiences and what products you find useful. You clearly enjoy what you do, and do it with humor and gusto! Thank you for being a positive influence on the world, and for sharing that with all of us❤ You have my support..so suck it!
Giving people the tools tools to succeed..amazing. Everything you have taught yourself, starting out, and the things you use, I seriously had no idea. I thought I knew, from watching you, but it turns out I didn’t know. Mentoring Jason, Adriane, and Danial …priceless knowledge. Great job. Patti
I just wanted to stop by and thank you for your videos, for the instruction, for the humour, for the inspiration. Especially the inspiration! I have struggled with depression since I was a very little girl, about 6 (I'll be 56 in September so yeah, entire life). About 20 years ago my depression got really bad and my house showed how depressed I was. I was a single mom and I lived in absolute terror someone would see the absolute nightmare my house was and take my son away. Alas, that did not happen and now he's a 25yo father himself to a 2 month old son. His girlfriend and son are going to be moving in here, a different place, but it was really dirty as well because you never know when depression is going to hit plus add that I'm really lazy and...well anyway a couple months ago I happened upon this channel and started watching. Your techniques, the easily obtained products you use, your humour, and your absolute support of people like me has really changed my life. Right now if my landlord wanted to come in here I wouldn't freak out at all (well maybe a little bit because that's what I'm used to, it'll take time to get over that)! My place is clean and getting cleaner! So thank you, my dude, for everything. I would never have guessed 2 months ago how clean and organized my place would become! And also a huge thanks to Cleaning with Barbie because I watch her videos as well and she is also very inspiring! But I found her because you recommended her! I wish nothing but wonderful things to happen to you and I hope that the 'filth' that is your son finds a way to de-filth himself. One day, maybe. lol
What a great video! One thing I have started doing in the last few years is buying trash bags, cleaning products, soaps, and even vacuums and mops from estate sales in my area. It can be kind of hit or miss sometimes, but you can get some good stuff for next to nothing.
I want to thank you so much for your videos. I have an elderly mother who lives alone and has congestive heart failure, and I go over there sometimes and just don't even know where to start. So it helps to just think the night before what task am I going to focus on tomorrow and just do it. If I do too much or walk around all over the house, it kind of agitates her. Knowing exactly what I need and how to approach a certain task helps so very much. Thank you!!! The good thing is she has been keeping everything in about the same place for the last 50+ years. LOL! Xoxo
Good morning. This video was very eye opening. I am not a working cleaner but have been cleaning my own apartments, houses, that I have lived in since I was 8 yrs old. My mom taught me how to do many of the basics because she was a single parent and could use the added help cleaning. I liked the responsibility and knew my mom appreciated it. An added bonus was that I loved seeing the before and after in my brain. I am 65 now and still enjoy the before and afters. Watching your videos reminds me that cleaning can be fun and personally rewarding. Thank You!!!!😎
I worked in the age of newspapers. It sounds kinda silly but here’s the ad I ran. “I am a pleasant and meticulous housekeeper who would love the opportunity to clean your home”. Sounds ridiculous now but I used the same ad in three different states over 12 years. If you’re good, word of mouth will take over. The pleasant and meticulous part is no joke.
That is such a great ad, thanks for sharing. I clean part time & didn't realise I was meticulous until all my clients said, 'wow you're so thorough'. I just like cleaning other people's houses!
You explain things so well! I love watching your time-lapse videos! You'd make an awesome teacher!! Because you're so easy to understand! Of course, love the sense of humor! 😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤
Wow, just watching you clean makes me tired. I have a house inspection tomorrow but the house isn't too bad, so I will give it a basic clean and it will be fine. God bless you for the amount of time, money and effort you put into these cleans, you wouldn't do it unless you love it and have a heart to help people. Thanks, Mr Midwest and Jason! x
Really enjoying the videos, especially because you show a lot of integrity and respect towards clients that are in trouble with hoarding and other mental illness. One thing that surprises me though is that you're not blurring photo's that are hanging/standing around the houses. Perhaps that's something to consider, to protect these already vulnerable people's privacy. Keep up the amazing job!
Just made your APC recipe today and wow, it left everything streak free and got rid of the sticky residue that Clean Freak can leave behind, and bonus it didn’t make my house smell like chemicals. Thanks for being awesome!
I filled in as a housekeeper for a friend, and most customers were happier that I brought my own vacuum and supplies. And it’s easier to clean when you have the products you are used to using.
In 2014 I lost my job, and stayed home for a year. I was depressed and didn’t work. I wish I had your videos back then because they make me laugh and motivate me all at the same time. I spent all of my time in my apartment and I rarely cleaned. It wasn’t a total disaster but I know I could have done better. Since then I went to school, got a job and now I have my own home and I take pride in cleaning when I’m not working. In the winter when I’m more likely to get depressed being stuck inside due to Canadian winters, I love putting energy into cleaning to keep me occupied
You rock! I love using my Apc and have put together one for my daughter. You have the biggest heart and are so kind to those who cannot help themselves. Thank you for doing that for them!
Was so inspired, cleaned my apartment all day despite my ADHD. Its a freaking miracle! My sister laughs at me because i call you my Magic Mountain Man. But you are ❤ (i added the mountain for extra magic)
I’m not autistic. I have watched every one of your videos. This one twice. Many twice, especially the hoarder house you cleaned without gloves or a mask, because you were too far from home to get them... don’t even get me started on that episode!!!!! Moving on from that cringe worthy video, I have watched every single video of Barbie’s. Every single video of Auri’s. And, like with yours, I’m on round two. So, maybe it’s not the hyper focusing of autism. I am addicted to before and afters, so, maybe it’s the award center of our brains 🧠... idk. I’m addiction to demos and rebuilds, too. Keep up the good work, I love watching the changes!
After watching your channel, I've considered starting a cleaning business of my own but didn't know much about how to do that. Thanks for keeping it real, especially about the cost of supplies and travel. Gas ain't cheap, no matter where you live. I'm still on the fence about whether a career as a cleaner is in my future, but for now, I can use your videos to motivate me to keep my own home tidy. Can't clean someone else's house when yours isn't relatively orderly.
yes i too am hooked on watching the extreme cleans of hoarder type situations where a kitchen or a bathroom has been cleaned and the before and after. its very satisfying to watch
I'm so glad I stumbled on to your channel. I've had a lot of fun over the last few weeks binging on your cleaning videos. Good luck with everything, and keep spin kicking that dirt away.
I have a cleaning business also. I clean vacation rental homes and a couple of residential ones as well. I love your channel. Keep blessing people who truly need it.
I’m so impressed by your videos - your kindness, sense of humor, and dedication are so inspiring. I’ve been really sick this week and just binged all your stuff. Thanks for being you, man.
HELL YEAH!! Love this kind of video. I took copious notes on the back of my pet armadillo. He's a bum though. But, I was stoked I had about 75% of the products you mentioned! (Thanks Momma!!💛🤙) I was hit by a drunk driver many years ago and had 3 back surgeries, not to mention the permanent nerve damage and leftover pain. Cleaning was never been anything I loved to do even BEFORE that happened. I do what I can, when I can. So anywhosVille, thanks for posting! Sending major blessings your way. 💛🖤💛
When you have run out of your Mr.Clean, you make your own cleanser (separate from the APC). Can you share your recipe for concentrations? I happen to love original Pine-Sol, and I'd love to use that in certain rooms - and not just floors. I appreciate you! I really enjoy our channel. Cheers!
Love your heart for helping others and your wisdom to find a way that helps them while also helping you! Also, Clean Freak is awesome. Th ask for the tip.
The only video series where I burst out laughing 2 seconds in. 😂😂Super-great advice. What you do is so appreciated and I loved this type of video, too. Your black belt in cleaning is something to aspire to. Dakota, I want your eyeliner!!
Just started watching, always had trouble with cleaning. I'm now using your APC, I got some ultra fine microfiber cloths, regular ones, drill brushes and scouring pads, and some Mr clean and I'm actually staying on top of things. Thank you, from a fellow autist
Thank you so much for this video and all your fantastic cleaning tips. I have learned so much today!! What a blessing you are! So happy i found your channel. I have no doubt whatsoever that you will have your 1 million subscribers sooner than later! Hope your shoulder is better!
Omg that part of supplying the cleaning products is so true ..often ive had cleaners asking where is this where is that , by the time i have to go get it all out for them i feel i could have done it myself …Smart thinking
When I was a young girl, I used to babysit. When I did, I also cleaned the whole downstairs and organized their kitchen cabinets and closets. I would also sometimes change the living room around. Then when the ladies that I babysat for came home, they were like so surprised and really liked what I did. Of course, I did not do it for extra money because we all lived in a project. Well most of us did anyway. Now I am handicapped and can hardly clean my own house. It takes me all day just to do the bathroom. It takes me two days to do the other rooms and I am talking about deep cleaning. I am not a hoarder but I do have a lot of things. I have no problem getting rid of stuff. It just takes me longer because of my illness. I think in the past 3 years, I got rid of about 15 trash bags of clothes, shoes and pocketbooks. I still have just a few more to get rid of. Then I won't have anything to wear! I am not on Medicaid so in order for me to get help, I would have to pay $24.00 an hour to get someone to help me clean! That is never going to happen with my pocketbook. I live in southeastern PA and the people here do not help people like me. I can't even pay kids to shovel snow in the winter time, (thankfully last year it did not snow at all). A couple of kids said their parents give them money and they don't have to do a thing for it. I can't shovel anymore due to my peripheral neuropathy. How I got that, Lord only knows. I am not diabetic. Anyway, I find your channel very relaxing to watch except the one where you pulled your shoulder out. I was feeling very bad for you. I do hope all the people that are hoarders that you clean for get all the help they need and that they get better. You are helping them as well by what you are doing for them. .
I'd give anything to have you as my cleaning company. I have one for my mum, who lives in a small 1 bed barn conversion in my garden. It's all brand new and very easy to maintain. But having started off well with the business owner and his wife, where he did the bulk of the work and she chatted, he's gone onto commercial work and left his wife and a couple of other women doing the domestic cleans. They barely touch it really. I pay for 2 hours and am lucky to get my time completed. I can see dust in places they haven't noticed and the floor never shines. They don't do windows and they didn't do the light fittings. Now that's my job. I bought a Swiffer long handled after learning about them from you. I can dust the lights standing on the floor. There are dust bunnies forming under furniture. So disappointed. But I'm rural and so don't have much choice. I love seeing all your kit. I bought myself a new cordless vacuum today. I have a big Shark, but it's heavy and has a lot of cord on it. This one will be for midweek floor maintenance. I am looking forward to trying it tomorrow. The battery is ready and charged.
On area's that are extra cluttered I bring along 2 rolling racks. I got them at Sam's. That way when I'm sorting items, I put them on the racks. After everything sorted if I have move items that have to go to another room just roll it there. Helps with space issue, bending over and carrying things all the time. Fyi, I have a truck. Helps me. Like your channel, Thanks for sharing.
You are spot on about the cost of cleaning products. I just helped my brother outfit his new apartment with all the cleaning supplies plus a vacuum, broom, mop and it was several hundred dollars.
Hi! I loved your kit, we have a lot of similar products here in Brazil. There's a mixture I like a lot to clean and sanitize all surfaces and gives a lot of shine in glasses and mirrors: half bottle of 70% alcohol and half of alcohol vinegar. I add a squeeze of lavender cleaning remover (here in Brazil this remover is a kind of scented kerosene). It sanitizes, gives the shine and keeps everything with a nice and clean scent - I uses it everywhere in my own house, including stove, cabinet doors, and it's perfect to finalize the cleaning after washing. Stay safe!
I'm not looking to start a business at my age and with severe arthritis in my back, but I enjoyed this. It's helpful for my home. I don't need a 'storeful' of cleaners under the sink. I would gladly watch more of these.
Thank you for the extra video! Enjoyed it! Enjoyed the pup picture at the end! I'm like you, I enjoy watching these videos and there are never enough. I just recently went back and started watching your first videos again.
I'm a maid at a hotel and this makes me want to start that cleaning business I always thought about. I use your tips at work and I'm kind of the best housekeeper ever. I do occasionally spin kick things though and that is frowned upon.
Do it! You'll be awesome!
Spin kick things… 🦵 💥🌪 that’s funny!
I always leave a cash tip for the housekeeping staff, but I'd want to leave more if I knew the housekeeper spin kicked stuff.

Blessings to you & your family. Even Jason.
But... he's filth(really cute helpful well brought up filth)
You know you can say 'ass', it really only means donkey. Jack ass (male donkey) -Jane- Jill ass (female donkey).
That's their original name before someone decided to start calling them donkeys.
did she just say FILTH!

I started watching your channel about a month ago after a friend kept after me to watch some of your videos. She knows I don't enjoy housework. Now I'm hooked, and my apartment is cleaner than it has ever been. I've been slowly adding some of these products to my home stock. The great thing is that every video I watch gets me off my butt and cleaning. I really appreciate your help for single parents who have become overwhelmed. I've been in that spot myself, and I can empathize. Thanks for the midweek video.
Watching couple months now. Hoping for enough motivation to just clean the one presently living in. Hasn't come yet. 🤢. Not a member. Do like your videos, keep hoping.
I am inspired too! I've been working my way through my house a room at a time since I started watching your videos, and I can't believe how clean my house is now! Makes me feel good and your alcohol window mix is fantastic, works better than any window cleaner I've ever used. Thank you and I ❤Jason. 😁
The APC is fantastic on car windshields. Mine has never been cleaner or clearer!
I just found your channel a couple weeks ago. I love it. You reminded of me long ago.
I am now 65+ and for 5 years I had a small cleaning business back when I just out of school .
I cleaned locally which was a lake town. So I cleaned lake homes and had weekends of.
Had lots of energy then. Then found a job and started caring for the sick & elderly.
Did that till I had to retire.
Thank you for your video's. 😊
I'm a single parent too and I feel the same as you
19:41 I feel like I just took an advanced Home Ec class. Thanks for all the info about what products to use for different types of cleaning. You help a lot of people.
I think you've said it best. This is not a glamorous business and it's something that I think you've been able to sustain because you have a genuine interest in cleaning, like a natural affinity for it. People get all too obsessed with the idea of making money that they forget to first enjoy the work they're doing before they're able to focus on how to make money to keep it going. You don't really love a job unless you can see yourself doing it for free.
Wow, well said! ♥️
I couldn't have said it better. I'm a librarian and many, many people come to me for advice and information about employment, careers and jobs. I'm printing it out, removing the word "cleaning." This bit of advice is applicable to every profession.
This is the most educational, direct, non-fluff “how to” video I’ve ever seen WOW!! So many scammers out there charging thousands of dollars for the knowledge you just dropped. You’re amazing ❤
You're incredible. I have autism also and have enjoyed organizing people's offices and homes throughout my life. Never tackled projects as large as you do, but you're inspiring me. So many disabled and elderly people as well as single parents really need help with this. We have some organizers In the area but they can be a little judgy and expensive.

I used to own a cleaning biz with my ex-husband. I really loved it as I had always loved cleaning other people's houses..just not my own lol Now your videos have pulled me out of huge depression. It was not pretty. I also have ADD and finally my house is getting back in order. Thank you!
Good for you.
I've always wanted to do this myself. Growing up, any time I went to a family members house or a friends house, I'd just start randomly cleaning because I enjoyed it. People would joke all the time that they want me to come to their house and clean lol. Sometimes people would get embarrassed and I felt bad about that. I always just told them that cleaning is enjoyable to me and I really love helping people. One time, I cleaned my grandmother's house and she was a smoker. After cleaning her walls she was like, "omg I thought I was going to have to paint and now I don't have to!" That made me very happy. Being good at cleaning was one thing I knew people liked about me so getting that praise was addictive lol. Once in awhile, I visit my parents and clean for them. It's something I've done for years.
We have the same kit! I keep two kits ready to go, it makes life easier. I own a cleaning business, and my preferred method of dusting is smacking it right where it's at. It leaves immediately. Your spinkick method is also very reliable. 😊❤
🤣
Hahahaha niiice😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lmbo
Your business model is truly exceptional. It's no wonder it's doing so well! Others can certainly take inspiration from the integrity and care you put into your business. I can see this booming big time. Well done! 👏
Thank you for this tip, I'm moving into a house that has glass shower doors in both bathrooms. I was hoping to find something that would clean it.😊
Thank you for your intergrity, genuine heart, and general freaking kick-butt awesomeness! Glad to support. You are an inspiration. I hope to one day be able to help others in my community the way that you support yours.
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for doing this for the adults who can't for whatever reason manage their home. Thank you because I see there are kids living in some pretty bad messes that they can't control which is stressful and anxiety provoking for a lot of them ~ I am sure you are helping a lot of children feel more comfortable at home.
I love your videos so much. It takes a special person to be able to do what you do and I know the people you help are probably so grateful. I love my "Oh look, more dishes" t-shirt, I chuckle every time you say that in a video, because there is always more dishes. I appreciate you and everything you do! (and Jason too!)
❤️❤️👊
Jason?!? Jason is a piece of filth! He's just filthy!!! 😂😂
I actually work as a cook at my local senior center and there's ALWAYS more dishes so I plan on getting that T-shirt just for work....maybe 5 different ones. Haha
We don't have a dishwasher, so i am... the dishwasher 😂 need that shirt😆
A non accidental extra video crammed with super info on what's needed, besides being very energetic, fit and fabulous. Blessings to you and your family.
I went and bought a bottle of Clean Freak after seeing it in your videos and I've gotten things clean that I never thought I would!! We had nasty grease build up stuck on our countertop for my whole life (I'm living at home taking care of my elderly parent) and I FINALLY got it off! Thank you for recommending it!!
It's really good, but spraying it and letting it work for a good 10 minutes is really the best. Less elbow grease 😂😂
@@_Julie_Bee That's what I did for the tougher spots and it melted like it was NOTHING!!
It's just vinegar and peroxide
@@meganbessenbacher7107 no it's not? It's solvents, cleaning agents and sodium carbonate. And some viscosity modifiers to keep it from being too liquid and to make it stick to surfaces.
@MeMyselfetMoi I never argue for the sake of being right, certainly not with fellow women, as I know we are all beautiful warrior queens. I am sure that there are ingredients that make it marketable, but sodium bi carbonate is baking soda and when you mix it with dawn it makes a paste, that is like a magic eraser in a bucket. I learned this accidentally because my littles wanted to make slime, and I had no contact lens solution or bottle of glue, but I had pounds of baking soda and dawn, which was an alternative recipe. It didn't make slime it kinda made putty so we played and as I started cleaning up I decided to use some extra to see if I could get a life-size crayon person off the wall, BAM rubbed it on dry rubbed in circles with my hand it came off like a magic eraser on steroids!! I use it for everything now! I don't know any of these things cause I'm great or anything. I'm mentally disabled (brain damage) I can't even make a meal anymore. But my allergies and OCD and inability to do much of anything else leave me to experiment and research a lot! Like unhealthy amounts. I experimented with the power paste, pink stuff, and slime fail. Compared ingredients and learned scientific names...it's an obsession, really.
But really truly try it. You will never regret it!
I ve been using your APC, and now my daughter wants to use it. Thank you for all you do. Many blessings on you, and your family.
Another APC fan here!
And here in Calgary Canada! Best disinfectant/sanitizer ever!
And another one here in Southern Germany🙋🏼♀️🇩🇪
me too! and I'm really liking it
You forgot to add having a fantastic voice helps also and a Jason 😊❤
A homemade cleaner I use in the bathroom for lime scale is 1/4 Dawn dish soap, 1/2 vinegar, 1/4 water. To get lime scale off glass shower doors let it sit for 20 minutes you may need to do it twice but this takes the lime scale away works like scrubbing bubbles but way cheaper.
You can switch vinegar for citric acid to give it a kick. It's stronger, and no vinegar smell!😊 (Citric acid is what's in those specialized cleaners for expensive coffee makers like Nespresso. I use food grade and it melts any mineral deposits away in no time. I even did a toilet once that even the pumice couldn't clean. )
@@_Julie_Bee that's so good to know, I have a ton of Citric acid that I use for brewing lol, now I can use it to clean 😂
@@masterofshadows8904 lol it's an amazing cleaner! Look it up, so many uses , even bath bombs lol actually, some even make effervescent cleaning tablets for their toilets !
It's Generous Johnny Pink Gloves from Charlotte!! Oh, those fly specks!
This is a great channel and I love your honesty. Cleaning time-lapses are the best but your personality makes it even better. Keep up the good work man!
Awesome!! Why are folks watching (41K views) and not giving you a thumbs up?? This is a pattern I've just noticed and so I want to encourage everyone who watches to say "thank you" with a thumbs up, for all your hard work cleaning and putting these videos together!! On the other hand...cloning Jason is a scary thought...eek!!
One possibility is that no matter how many times we watch, we can only hit the thumbs-up once.
That ceiling fan is my favorite transformation of all time
It was pretty crazy
Hey, I can’t believe it’s not butta. (Yes, butta). It’s Saran Wrap Sally here! Recommending you put plastic wrap over the oven cleaner spray and let it sit while you clean other things. It’s amazing!
Someone watches Auri 😉
Mr Clean needs to sponsor you!!
this is pretty much how I run our household with the cleaning and the supplies. I keep at least one backup of everything especially on items I use a lot of I really stock up. gloves, dish soap, laundry soap, dishwasher detergent, trash bags, paper towels, toilet paper, toilet cleaner, disinfecting wipes and so on.. I think its just good practice to keep a backup supply so you always have what you need to run your household or your business. thank you for sharing this with us 🙂
You don’t need the ‘hype’ because you Are the hype. Enjoyed watching this and hearing about your experiences and what products you find useful. You clearly enjoy what you do, and do it with humor and gusto! Thank you for being a positive influence on the world, and for sharing that with all of us❤ You have my support..so suck it!
Giving people the tools tools to succeed..amazing. Everything you have taught yourself, starting out, and the things you use, I seriously had no idea. I thought I knew, from watching you, but it turns out I didn’t know. Mentoring Jason, Adriane, and Danial …priceless knowledge. Great job. Patti
Wow. You are a Professor. Not a mr. clean, but DOCTOR Clean. 😊 Well done! Thank you.
I just wanted to stop by and thank you for your videos, for the instruction, for the humour, for the inspiration. Especially the inspiration! I have struggled with depression since I was a very little girl, about 6 (I'll be 56 in September so yeah, entire life). About 20 years ago my depression got really bad and my house showed how depressed I was. I was a single mom and I lived in absolute terror someone would see the absolute nightmare my house was and take my son away. Alas, that did not happen and now he's a 25yo father himself to a 2 month old son. His girlfriend and son are going to be moving in here, a different place, but it was really dirty as well because you never know when depression is going to hit plus add that I'm really lazy and...well anyway a couple months ago I happened upon this channel and started watching. Your techniques, the easily obtained products you use, your humour, and your absolute support of people like me has really changed my life. Right now if my landlord wanted to come in here I wouldn't freak out at all (well maybe a little bit because that's what I'm used to, it'll take time to get over that)! My place is clean and getting cleaner! So thank you, my dude, for everything. I would never have guessed 2 months ago how clean and organized my place would become! And also a huge thanks to Cleaning with Barbie because I watch her videos as well and she is also very inspiring! But I found her because you recommended her! I wish nothing but wonderful things to happen to you and I hope that the 'filth' that is your son finds a way to de-filth himself. One day, maybe. lol
Honestly insane how many people are sleeping on barbie and post! Stoked you found some inspo 😊
What a great video! One thing I have started doing in the last few years is buying trash bags, cleaning products, soaps, and even vacuums and mops from estate sales in my area. It can be kind of hit or miss sometimes, but you can get some good stuff for next to nothing.
I want to thank you so much for your videos. I have an elderly mother who lives alone and has congestive heart failure, and I go over there sometimes and just don't even know where to start. So it helps to just think the night before what task am I going to focus on tomorrow and just do it. If I do too much or walk around all over the house, it kind of agitates her. Knowing exactly what I need and how to approach a certain task helps so very much. Thank you!!! The good thing is she has been keeping everything in about the same place for the last 50+ years. LOL! Xoxo
Good morning. This video was very eye opening. I am not a working cleaner but have been cleaning my own apartments, houses, that I have lived in since I was 8 yrs old. My mom taught me how to do many of the basics because she was a single parent and could use the added help cleaning. I liked the responsibility and knew my mom appreciated it. An added bonus was that I loved seeing the before and after in my brain. I am 65 now and still enjoy the before and afters. Watching your videos reminds me that cleaning can be fun and personally rewarding. Thank You!!!!😎
Thank you for the valuable information. I don’t have a cleaning business but I need to learn more about cleaning my own house.
I worked in the age of newspapers. It sounds kinda silly but here’s the ad I ran. “I am a pleasant and meticulous housekeeper who would love the opportunity to clean your home”. Sounds ridiculous now but I used the same ad in three different states over 12 years. If you’re good, word of mouth will take over. The pleasant and meticulous part is no joke.
That is such a great ad, thanks for sharing. I clean part time & didn't realise I was meticulous until all my clients said, 'wow you're so thorough'. I just like cleaning other people's houses!
@@luckysmummy5325 it’s a good job when you have children. I was able to work my schedule around my daughter.
You explain things so well! I love watching your time-lapse videos! You'd make an awesome teacher!! Because you're so easy to understand! Of course, love the sense of humor! 😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤
Wow, just watching you clean makes me tired. I have a house inspection tomorrow but the house isn't too bad, so I will give it a basic clean and it will be fine. God bless you for the amount of time, money and effort you put into these cleans, you wouldn't do it unless you love it and have a heart to help people. Thanks, Mr Midwest and Jason! x
What a good idea, clean the vacuum hose with the drain hair cleaner! Thank you! Great video!
Hey, look! I’m a member today.
YAAAAAY! Welcome to our weird cult!
glad i found you. sick of channels that promise a real dirty house and they are already clean. i dont consider a few legos on the floor a dirty house.
Really enjoying the videos, especially because you show a lot of integrity and respect towards clients that are in trouble with hoarding and other mental illness. One thing that surprises me though is that you're not blurring photo's that are hanging/standing around the houses. Perhaps that's something to consider, to protect these already vulnerable people's privacy. Keep up the amazing job!
Just made your APC recipe today and wow, it left everything streak free and got rid of the sticky residue that Clean Freak can leave behind, and bonus it didn’t make my house smell like chemicals. Thanks for being awesome!
I filled in as a housekeeper for a friend, and most customers were happier that I brought my own vacuum and supplies. And it’s easier to clean when you have the products you are used to using.
After being a cleaner, and sometimes my own boss, this advice is excellent, you were made for this! 🤘💜🤘
Great job explaining your business & the difference between free cleaning & for profit!
It’s refreshing to see you early in the week! Even Jason 😊 I hope your shoulder is healing nicely and you all have a blessed week
In 2014 I lost my job, and stayed home for a year. I was depressed and didn’t work. I wish I had your videos back then because they make me laugh and motivate me all at the same time. I spent all of my time in my apartment and I rarely cleaned. It wasn’t a total disaster but I know I could have done better. Since then I went to school, got a job and now I have my own home and I take pride in cleaning when I’m not working. In the winter when I’m more likely to get depressed being stuck inside due to Canadian winters, I love putting energy into cleaning to keep me occupied
"And my name is I Can't Believe It's Not Clutter"!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
As a Recovering level 3 hoarder, I thank you for your service. Your videos help me (along with the therapy) . Blessings to you!!!
You rock! I love using my Apc and have put together one for my daughter. You have the biggest heart and are so kind to those who cannot help themselves. Thank you for doing that for them!
Pink gloves .... That's just how I roll ......
Was so inspired, cleaned my apartment all day despite my ADHD. Its a freaking miracle! My sister laughs at me because i call you my Magic Mountain Man. But you are ❤ (i added the mountain for extra magic)
I’m not autistic. I have watched every one of your videos. This one twice. Many twice, especially the hoarder house you cleaned without gloves or a mask, because you were too far from home to get them... don’t even get me started on that episode!!!!! Moving on from that cringe worthy video, I have watched every single video of Barbie’s. Every single video of Auri’s. And, like with yours, I’m on round two. So, maybe it’s not the hyper focusing of autism. I am addicted to before and afters, so, maybe it’s the award center of our brains 🧠... idk. I’m addiction to demos and rebuilds, too. Keep up the good work, I love watching the changes!
I’m not starting a cleaning business but this video gave me some ideas on what to stock at home! Love this channel!
After watching your channel, I've considered starting a cleaning business of my own but didn't know much about how to do that. Thanks for keeping it real, especially about the cost of supplies and travel. Gas ain't cheap, no matter where you live. I'm still on the fence about whether a career as a cleaner is in my future, but for now, I can use your videos to motivate me to keep my own home tidy. Can't clean someone else's house when yours isn't relatively orderly.
My "Oh, Look, More Dishes!" t-shirt arrived today--less than 1 week turnaround. Super high quality. I love it!!!
❤️❤️👊
OMG son, I love how you roll and I love what you do!!!!! You always make me laugh. Thanks 🤣
yes i too am hooked on watching the extreme cleans of hoarder type situations where a kitchen or a bathroom has been cleaned and the before and after. its very satisfying to watch
Hope there is space left in the car for a batch of spinkicks,💖
Thanks! I enjoy your videos and how you help people in such a big way! And I’m encouraged to clean my house better!
Thank you, Shirley! ❤️❤️👊
@@MidwestMagicCleaning You’re welcome!
I'm so glad I stumbled on to your channel. I've had a lot of fun over the last few weeks binging on your cleaning videos. Good luck with everything, and keep spin kicking that dirt away.
I have a cleaning business also. I clean vacation rental homes and a couple of residential ones as well. I love your channel. Keep blessing people who truly need it.
Love your videos and comedy. Excellent cleaning service
This helped me boost my caregiver business by 20%! Thank you!
I’m so impressed by your videos - your kindness, sense of humor, and dedication are so inspiring. I’ve been really sick this week and just binged all your stuff. Thanks for being you, man.
HELL YEAH!! Love this kind of video. I took copious notes on the back of my pet armadillo. He's a bum though. But, I was stoked I had about 75% of the products you mentioned! (Thanks Momma!!💛🤙) I was hit by a drunk driver many years ago and had 3 back surgeries, not to mention the permanent nerve damage and leftover pain. Cleaning was never been anything I loved to do even BEFORE that happened. I do what I can, when I can. So anywhosVille, thanks for posting! Sending major blessings your way. 💛🖤💛
"threaten the floor until it shines" 🤣🤣 LoL
I watch your weekend videos...I can't believe that I just read all 543 comments on your cleaning kit video. I think I need to join....
When you have run out of your Mr.Clean, you make your own cleanser (separate from the APC). Can you share your recipe for concentrations? I happen to love original Pine-Sol, and I'd love to use that in certain rooms - and not just floors. I appreciate you! I really enjoy our channel. Cheers!
Nice to see you on a Tuesday 😊😊
Mr. Clean owes you money now, gonna keep my eyes out for it!
Great video! Very informative. Thanks for taking the time to explain it all.
Love your heart for helping others and your wisdom to find a way that helps them while also helping you! Also, Clean Freak is awesome. Th ask for the tip.
The only video series where I burst out laughing 2 seconds in. 😂😂Super-great advice. What you do is so appreciated and I loved this type of video, too. Your black belt in cleaning is something to aspire to. Dakota, I want your eyeliner!!
You are an honest and caring person ❤
My name is “I can’t believe it’s not clutter.“ lmao😂🤣🤣🥰
I have too much cleaning things. Thank you for sharing, now I know. Thank you so much!!! ❤
Sheeeesh, it's like I'm reading your mind😂 I have everything that you have. I guess I'm addicted to your channel ❤️
🤣🤣🥰
LOVE those Gloves!!! Plus absolutely LOVE you and son and man employee! You are too good! And, I'm not a Demon! I subscribed!
Just started watching, always had trouble with cleaning. I'm now using your APC, I got some ultra fine microfiber cloths, regular ones, drill brushes and scouring pads, and some Mr clean and I'm actually staying on top of things. Thank you, from a fellow autist
I’m suffering from depression right now and found your channel you make me laugh especially when you say they call me johnny 😅😅thank you so much ❤
Thank you so much for this video and all your fantastic cleaning tips. I have learned so much today!! What a blessing you are! So happy i found your channel. I have no doubt whatsoever that you will have your 1 million subscribers sooner than later! Hope your shoulder is better!
Omg that part of supplying the cleaning products is so true ..often ive had cleaners asking where is this where is that , by the time i have to go get it all out for them i feel i could have done it myself …Smart thinking
I LOVE this Video! You Sir, are a Rockstar! Such a Big ♥️ Heart. All of your People … Jason, etc., are truly incredible too!
When I was a young girl, I used to babysit. When I did, I also cleaned the whole downstairs and organized their kitchen cabinets and closets. I would also sometimes change the living room around. Then when the ladies that I babysat for came home, they were like so surprised and really liked what I did. Of course, I did not do it for extra money because we all lived in a project. Well most of us did anyway. Now I am handicapped and can hardly clean my own house. It takes me all day just to do the bathroom. It takes me two days to do the other rooms and I am talking about deep cleaning. I am not a hoarder but I do have a lot of things. I have no problem getting rid of stuff. It just takes me longer because of my illness. I think in the past 3 years, I got rid of about 15 trash bags of clothes, shoes and pocketbooks. I still have just a few more to get rid of. Then I won't have anything to wear! I am not on Medicaid so in order for me to get help, I would have to pay $24.00 an hour to get someone to help me clean! That is never going to happen with my pocketbook. I live in southeastern PA and the people here do not help people like me. I can't even pay kids to shovel snow in the winter time, (thankfully last year it did not snow at all). A couple of kids said their parents give them money and they don't have to do a thing for it. I can't shovel anymore due to my peripheral neuropathy. How I got that, Lord only knows. I am not diabetic. Anyway, I find your channel very relaxing to watch except the one where you pulled your shoulder out. I was feeling very bad for you. I do hope all the people that are hoarders that you clean for get all the help they need and that they get better. You are helping them as well by what you are doing for them.
.
I'd give anything to have you as my cleaning company. I have one for my mum, who lives in a small 1 bed barn conversion in my garden. It's all brand new and very easy to maintain. But having started off well with the business owner and his wife, where he did the bulk of the work and she chatted, he's gone onto commercial work and left his wife and a couple of other women doing the domestic cleans. They barely touch it really. I pay for 2 hours and am lucky to get my time completed. I can see dust in places they haven't noticed and the floor never shines. They don't do windows and they didn't do the light fittings. Now that's my job. I bought a Swiffer long handled after learning about them from you. I can dust the lights standing on the floor. There are dust bunnies forming under furniture. So disappointed. But I'm rural and so don't have much choice.
I love seeing all your kit. I bought myself a new cordless vacuum today. I have a big Shark, but it's heavy and has a lot of cord on it. This one will be for midweek floor maintenance. I am looking forward to trying it tomorrow. The battery is ready and charged.
Great breakdown of product and tools. Love how you filmed it in the car all packed and organized!
On area's that are extra cluttered I bring along 2 rolling racks. I got them at Sam's. That way when I'm sorting items, I put them on the racks. After everything sorted if I have move items that have to go to another room just roll it there. Helps with space issue, bending over and carrying things all the time. Fyi, I have a truck. Helps me. Like your channel, Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for what you do and for how much you inspire us! Jersey loves you ❤
You are spot on about the cost of cleaning products. I just helped my brother outfit his new apartment with all the cleaning supplies plus a vacuum, broom, mop and it was several hundred dollars.
Thank you for the extra video! Hope your shoulder is feeling better.
There goes ‘Pink Gloves Johnny!’ from Topeka!
How lovely to see you full face at last, regards from the UK
Your a blessing to so many people
Hi! I loved your kit, we have a lot of similar products here in Brazil. There's a mixture I like a lot to clean and sanitize all surfaces and gives a lot of shine in glasses and mirrors: half bottle of 70% alcohol and half of alcohol vinegar. I add a squeeze of lavender cleaning remover (here in Brazil this remover is a kind of scented kerosene). It sanitizes, gives the shine and keeps everything with a nice and clean scent - I uses it everywhere in my own house, including stove, cabinet doors, and it's perfect to finalize the cleaning after washing. Stay safe!
I'm not looking to start a business at my age and with severe arthritis in my back, but I enjoyed this. It's helpful for my home. I don't need a 'storeful' of cleaners under the sink. I would gladly watch more of these.
Thank you for all you do to help others! God bless you and your family! May God keep you and yours safe as you do all these things! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
Thank you for the extra video! Enjoyed it! Enjoyed the pup picture at the end! I'm like you, I enjoy watching these videos and there are never enough. I just recently went back and started watching your first videos again.
