    Just a disclaimer here....I'm a professional cleaner, this method of cleaning an oven ONLY works if you clean your oven on a regular basis (once or twice a year). It does NOT work if your oven is encased in an inch worth of 10 year crud. In that case, do yourself a favor, use the toxic oven cleaner and start cleaning your oven regularly after that. If you're ultra lazy, put some aluminum foil at the bottom to catch everything. Also, using vinegar in your washing machine will ruin the seals over time. You're better off using a dishwasher pod as its designed to be safe for machines.That said....great vid!

    • @kimberlindy

      Both the laundry and dish washer machines have deep cleaning rituals and products which are outlined in your manual. I’m a lazy eco-hippie, so I usually source a more environment friendly deep cleaner, but I always use one designed for the specific application.
      And while we’re on the topic of the environment, those disposable dusters are made from virgin timber, usually from the Brazilian rainforest. So if we care about the lungs of the Earth, we might want to use a rag, or something less disposable instead. I know they’re tempting, I have one too, and then I read an article… 😱

      My washing machine is 30 years old and I've been using white vinegar instead of fabric softener the entire time and never had to replace seals. However, I don't use it every single wash, probably every 4th with hot water. Keeps the funk away for sure. I don't use fabric softener, I put a dry towel in with damp clothes in dryer, when solar dryer isn't usable. Dries things much faster.

      @@sillymamacita3854hearing my mom talk about the amount of effort she had to go through just to get me to school on time as a kid is crazy. It’s somewhat comforting, especially now, to know that I’ve always been this way, my entire life, my mornings have always been brutal. It doesn’t matter how much sleep. I’m not choosing to be this way.
      The time blindness thing has always been my biggest struggle, my most enduring trait, it was what made me seek out ADHD resources beyond meds from my doc bc I’ve been diagnosed since my 20s, but honestly never thought it had anything to do with everything that keeps causing problems in my life. I just thought it explained why I couldn’t hold focus and got bored easily in class and never did homework. I had no idea there was a bunch of stuff online for us to help us function better!
      Until recently, I just thought adhd was mostly school related stuff but it’s not!
      It’s been really helpful to seek out things specifically aimed at people with adhd. It’s wild how much it affects and how many of my worst traits are just symptoms.

    🎉l worked for a fire restoration company. My teamed cleaned the house from smoke damage. We had to wipe down every surface with a damp cloth. The big no-no was to spray the walls directly. The liquid run down is what causes the streaks! Have the microfiber cloth folded to about a 4 in square. Spray the cloth and wipe, refolding the cloth as needed. When all the cloth's surfaces are dirty. Toss and get a new cloth. Repeat.

    Sarcasm is one form of irony(verbal irony). There is situational irony when the outcome is opposite of what you expect it to be (the fire station catches fire and burns down). Dramatic irony is when the audience knows something the character doesn't (horror films: we see the killer hiding behind the door and scream at the heroine not to go in that room). The more you know:)

    It's very possible your mom simply ENJOYED cleaning. Before my health failed me, I was a fan of house cleaning. It sounds crazy but it gets your mind de-stressed and the instant gratification you get afterwards, feels amazing. So what may have seemed like wasted time to you, may have been simply her ENJOYING cleaning, as crazy as it sounds, some of us truly like cleaning house. ❤

Once I started taking out the shelves and drawers, years worth of nastiness was caked into every nook and cranny. Took me hours to clean. All because neither the previous tenants nor the landlord thought they needed to take out the shelves to clean. 🤷‍♀️

    On the Wikipedia page for "Irony" I found this:"*Cosmic irony*, sometimes also called 'the irony of fate', presents agents as always ultimately thwarted by forces beyond human control..." A rain storm occurring right after washing one's windows or car would definitely be "forces beyond human control" thwarting the intentions of someone who has just washed her windows or car, in my opinion. Great and inspiring video, Cass! Thank you!

    Thank you so much, Cass, for mentioning that Mr. Clean Magic Eraser removes paint. So many people don't understand that cleaning walls is best when done gently. I suggest spraying the dirty area with warm water with a little Dawn dish soap in it. Walk away. Spray LIGHTLY again a few minutes later and wipe. Easy, no scrubbing, and paint stays in tact.

If you have pets or cook lots of stinky food curtains can start to smell. I wash mine every other year, upstairs one year and downstairs the next. I made all my curtains though so I know the fabric was pre washed and those hems are solid. You could always just pop stinky curtains on the line for a few hours though if you are worried about shrinking. Let the UV rays do the hard work 😊

      To clean microwave, roll a lemon between your hands to loosen up the juices, cut it in half and squeeze all the juice into a bowl, then add one cup of water. Drop in the lemon halves and place the bowl in your microwave. Run the microwave on high for five minutes. The water will be boiling temp. I use a 2 cup glass pyrex measuring cup so I can pick it up by the handle with an oven mitt and remove. This will cause a nice steam and any splatters loosen up and wipe off easy. The lemon makes it smell nice and clean.. Wipe it clean, and you're done!

    Before we go crazy disrespecting our ancestors/elders. It’s useful to notice that most of our modern efficiency in cleaning stems from our access to microfiber cloths. They’re based on some spooky Area-51ish microscopic technology that makes cleaning semi-miraculous. I remember cleaning before these things, and it was night and day.
    That said, the other reason we had to spend hours scrubbing, disassembling, reassembling, painting, rearranging, etc. things in the yard, is that our parents and grandparents were teaching us skills and a work ethic. They were actually very smart people, with a wide array of techniques and ridiculously specific tools, including brush technology, which was a thing.
    Weirdly, those days in the yard were some of my happiest memories. Never hesitate to set up your kids with a project. (Safely, of course.) They’ll thank you later.
    Speaking of thanks, your videos have taught me so many cool shortcuts. Thank you! 😄

      You are very right. My parents taught me work ethic and how to do hard things, like use power tools and take things apart and fix them very young. I started corn detasseling at 10 years old. I learned that most chores (like emptying the dishwasher) are a cake walk compared with hard labour.
      My kids think putting away the laundry is a huge task, I'm like "bro please, I was building fences and putting new shingles on the roof at your age...you're over here complaining about putting a t-shirt on a hanger...sheesh" 🫣

    Here's what I found: verbal irony is a figure of speech that communicates the opposite of what is said, while sarcasm is a form of irony that is directed at a person, with the intent to criticize. Hmmmm....and then it delves deeper. Wow! A deep subject 😊 I really enjoyed this video. So many good ideas. I am old and need all the help I can get. Thnx! ❤

    Can we just acknowledge how much we love Alanis Morissette? (The situations in the song are described as "unfortunate", not necessarily ironic.)
    Still one of the best songs ever written. ❤ 🎼

    Thank you for the dishwasher cleaning part of the video. It makes me feel so much more normal! I thought my dishwasher was the only one that got that way!

    I just cleaned my dishwasher. So much gross buildup by the seal and filter. I started laughing imagining your retching pantomime. If I was retcher, I'd have been retching. My dishwasher is now sparkly clean. Thanks for the nudge!
