You are doing a public service and are a national treasure. Thanks for all you do.
Aww, many thanks! You are awesome!!
International ❤
Home owner
Business owner..thank you
I totally agree with that 💯 %.
You doing this video even though you’re not 100% comfortable with the technology is motivational: “Don’t wait for perfection to take a step! Learn as you go!”
Thank you Caroline, I needed to hear this today. I'm struggling with the technology but determined to figure it out. LOL. That's what we do in business right? 🤗
@@AskAngelaBrown I suck with technology too. 51 years old. 2 year olds navigating smart phones better than me. Any tech makes me nervous. I’m glad it did not stop you from helping us. It would have intimidate me! Love your channel Angela. I admire u!🥰😘
“God doesn’t choose the qualified; He qualifies the chosen.” Good job, Angela.
I think she was amazing and seemed a pro at this even though she said she was technologically challenged. I didn't see that at all! You did such a great job, Angela! I would never have known you were new to this video stuff! You're a natural!
Yessss
No one ever taught me how to clean. I’m so glad I found you ❤
Thanks for the kind words, I an rooting for you!! Keep us posted!!😍👏😍
@@AskAngelaBrown I will! Thank you!
I love your concern for the elderly and those with mobility issues. You have been a God-send for me
Thank you for bringing this up, and you are correct, we all deserve love and concern.
Love this video! Since I'm a professional house cleaner for almost 12 yrs .Haven't found a channel like this yet
Hooray! I'm so thrilled you're here. Thanks for joining me.
Yes for sure! 😃
Professional cleaner
Thank you for all you great suggestions and talking about the importance of not cross contaminating.
Thanks for watching!
All your videos are gems of knowledge, I do have my absolute favorites though, ones I keep watching over and over. This is one of them. It's your straight and honest way of talking about things without finger snapping "ta da" hacks, and it's also a fact based/science based and logical. So appreciated in the age of the amateur. This may be harsh on others, but a professional with years of solid experience providing fact based, logical explanations is very much appreciated.
Oh wow, thank you so much for taking the time to write this comment, I really appreciate it! It is always nice to get some positive feedback.😊
1) I don't know how I came upon this video 2) I can't believe I'm watching a 1+ hour video on cleaning 3) I love this & your enthusiasm 4) subscribed! lol
Yay! Thank you!🙌 I'm so happy you did all of those things! Woot! Woot! 😀
I punched a hole and put a key chain in a plastic guitar pick that I found at one of my last vacation rental cleanings and I use it to scrape anything stuck to the hard floor. Works like a charm and is stiff enough to do the job yet is flexible enough not to scratch the floor. I Love it!
Great tip! Thanks for sharing this. What did you use to punch the hole in the guitar pic?
@@AskAngelaBrown I used a small guage metal punch for jewelry making but I think you could use just a small nail and hammer to make the hole.
Good idea! 😊
That's a fantastic idea!
Who here ain’t a house cleaner but still watches? Lol
There are many people that are not house cleaners and watch. I even have kids and teenagers watching videos and asking questions. Thanks for being here and for watching, I appreciate it!😉
The shoe rack tip is pure genius!
Glad you agree, thanks for watching!
I agree!!! I LOVE THE ABSOLUTE HECK OUT OF THIS WOMAN!!! her and her team are the absolute authority. Period.
Thank you so much! I'm so happy you're here. 😊🤗
I have vinyl floor. In my bathroom that has groves like ceramic tile that I used. Mop and glow on and may have done 2 layers. Now it needs to come off. I have. Scrubbed and scrubbed !still. Looks nasty. Any suggestions.. Home owner
I barely have any interest in cleaning my own house but here I am watching all these videos because they’re so good. Awesome channel!
Thanks Frank, you just made my day. :-)
Me, too! I love her!
I am a retired critical care nurse. I started using Odo Ban when I was caring for a sick brother and needed a disinfecting cleaner that could also be used on laundry. It was recommended by the head of environmental services AndI found out that lots of hospitals use this. It has a pleasant smell but not overpowering like Lysol. I’ve used all three scents: original, eucalyptus, and lavender. I also foster dogs, so lots of pet messes. I use the BioStain from Odo Ban. It is the best! Does a great job of cleaning and sanitizing areas wher the dogs have messed. Additionally, it disguises or removes the after smell that draws animals back to eliminate in that area.
That is awesome! So glad to know that you enjoy Odo Ban. Thank you for sharing your uses and experience with the product, I appreciate it!
to note - the pH Neutral floor cleaner of OdoBan's has NO disinfecting properties (I called the company) BUT it is formulated to not leave streaks. So take your pick, lol. I actually don't get streaks from property diluted odoban and it is actually pH neutral as well, so I usually mop with regular disinfecting odoBan, but if streaks are a problem, choose the dedicated floor cleaner :) @@AskAngelaBrown
You are very thourough with your explanations, and thankfully without the endless personal opinions that most UA-camrs love to add. Your personality is charming as well. Thank you for all the wonderful tips and helpful info 🙏
Glad to be helpful!
Just started a cleaning business, thank goodness I find your videos❤
Welcome!😊
Just stumbled upon you this morning, June 23, 2023. I'm a homeowner with horrible OCD, and yet I've become terribly disorganized and am happy to have some cleaning suggestions. I LOVE that you think about cross contamination. Living with OCD and having worked the last almost 12 years in a restaurant, I'm still shocked how many people don't even consider basic rules about cross contaminating surfaces.
Thank you! 😀I'm so happy to have you here! I appreciate you watching.
One tip I learned years ago to prevent cross contamination is blue for the loo and pink for the sink, I do this at home and work with microfiber cloths 🥰
Good to know, thanks for sharing the rhyme...love it!
I like the yellow for the bathroom... CAUTION is what it says to me, and it's probably the most dangerous room for germs in the house.
Yellow for pee for me😅🤪
MOULD NEEDS SOAP FIRST! It's important because otherwise the mould will release spores. The soap suds break the surface tension of water allowing the water to prevent the spores from being released into the air.
Follow that with VINEGAR! Vinegar has very small molecules that penetrate deep and kill mould. Bleach has much larger molecules. Odoban I have no idea if it would work as well.
@@lisat9707that’s really interesting, I have a mould problem myself and heard about using vinegar but didn’t know about using soap first, is there any soap you would recommend?
You have great verbal skills and teaching skills. You covered an amazing amount of material very clearly in an hour. Thank you very much !
Wow, thank you so much for your feedback, I appreciate it!
Professional for 33 years! Thanks Angela you're awesome!
WooHoo! Congratulations on 33 years in the business. 👏 👏 Thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment.
Hello Mary, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus?
Just want to say that I used to clean because it needed to be done. After learning from you the right tools, the right products and the right techniques I enjoy it. Thank you!
🙌That is so great to hear! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Same here!
I love the over door shoe rack idea for my laundry room. Definitely gonna do this!
It's really great for all the laundry items like our mop heads and microfiber cloths. Saves a lot of time from hanging them out on a line and it keeps them in pristine condition.
Take her cours3 its so wirth it and a tax write off
Sorry for grammar errors
Her coures are so indepth, when i had a question she personally called me.. i was shocked knowing how busy she must be
You are such a breath of fresh air! Thank you for this and all your videos. You are simply wonderful
Wow, thank you so much! 😍
I have learned so much for cleaning. I clean a pretty big home and your videos have made me be able to get a routine going so I can now clean wothout being overwhelmed.
Glad to be helpful!😊
Just want to say thank you. Your enthusiasm for cleaning tips and tricks is appreciated.
Michelle, You’re welcome and thank you for watching the video and leaving such a nice comment. 👍
I can vouch for all the Odo Ban products, especially the BioStain one. I care for foster dogs and cared for my terminally ill brother who had weeping wounds that smelled awful. This product is a miracle for everything biological that needs removing. It gets rid of the stain and odor and the Odo Ban concentrate can be used in the laundry for sheets and reusable pads. I also use a steam mop in my bathrooms. For the best clean with the steamer, use distilled water. The minerals have been removed and makes tile streak free.
YES! The OdoBan BioStain is also great for house cleaners and athletes who have those awful underarm stains on their uniforms. Spraying it right before popping the clothes in the washing machine removes the sweat stains as well as the ring around the collar. 😍
Homeowner, like my 3 story home clean ,fast and with least nasty chemicals. Thanks a lot. 😊. Appreciate you , good job.❤
Thanks!! 😃
Hi Angela, I'm a homeowner. Love being a part of your journey!

Home owner, but had a small house cleaning business many years ago. Thanks for updating me!
Nice! Thanks for watching the video, I appreciate it!
I’m watching the replay on Sunday.
You have motivated me to clean the stove top while listening to you! The metal pieces are now soaking in Dawn.
Those power drill brushes have been on my wish list for a long time. But I really don’t think I can handle a drill. So thanks for mentioning that.
This time, I wrote down the ph scale. I posted in on the inside of a kitchen cabinet. THANK YOU!
Hubby and I both watched the Bar Keepers Friend part. He washes the pots, as I have hand pain. Looking forward to trying it in baked on schmutz (aka muckety muck)
I have those sprayers. So much better than the Dollar Tree ones!!!
Thanks for this video. You are so awesome.
I appreciate your kind comments and thanks so much for watching the show. 😊
Hello Judy, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus?
I bought the husky utility bag and absolutely LOVE IT for cleaning jobs. No more bottles falling over, tons of pockets, the best
Yes, lots of house cleaners love the one with the big pockets for the cleaning supplies. It does have high walls that keep the cleaning supplies from dumping over in your vehicle or at the customer's house.
Yes I have been using that bag for over 5 years. Space for everything and looks professional. ♥️ My Husky bag !
Eyeing it and wanted to buy it but wanted More info - thank you for Sharing going to buy it now:) ❤
I love how excited you are. I cannot thank you enough for your advice
Thank you! I'm so glad to be helpful

Love the mesh bags. I separate mine this way thanks to your suggestion. Though I didn’t realize I should wash the glass cleaning cloths completely separate. Good to know!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
@@AskAngelaBrown While on this subject, I am curious - Are you using the microfiber cloths in and around the toilet? If so, are you washing them in the same washing machine you wash your clothes in? TIA!
Hello, Angela & crew-thank you so much for all the great tips! LOVE my scraper, and xo brushes, and just picked up a telescope 6 ft 360 duster.... It's a WOW game-changer! Ty so much
You are so welcome! Thank you for sharing your awesome feedback, I appreciate it!

Good to know, thanks for sharing your input!
I found it when my late husband had powerful flatulence during cancer treatment. It’s as good as Simple Clean Lemon.
Thank you so very much! I'm not really knowledgeable about the cross-contamination on the cloths & love how you detail everything you're using!❤❤
You are so welcome!

Thanks for sharing!! I appreciate you! 🤗
Angela thank you so much for your videos. I'm a homeowner and have purchased things from your videos such as the drill with pads to clean my shower, lightweight steamer and much more. I wanted to pass along to you that I have always had pets and I have tried almost every product for pets on the market. My vet told me about Eco 88 a few years ago and it's awesome! You might want to add it to your arsenal. Take care! Elizabeth
Thanks so much for the recommendation. 👍

Glad it was helpful!
Home owner but want to clean like a pro
Welcome Nicole!
Great tips, I always use boxes to keep my supplies organized! I work at Turno, so I have a lot of different clients. At first I was having a hard time keeping my equipment organized, but after I bought these plastic boxes, it helped a lot!
Great tip! Thanks for letting me know. I don't know what I would do without my plastic boxes. I use them for most everything. LOL. 👍
@@AskAngelaBrown They are just the best haha I'll start doing the color separation as well after this video!
Homeowner, thank you so much for the tips!!!!
You are so welcome! 😃
I love OdoBan! I was raised on it, so it's been around for a long time. haha! I also moved to where it's made and thought that was interesting. :)
Thanks for sharing your cool story and for watching the video, I appreciate it!
I’m a disabled homeowner so any tips and tricks to help me clean would be greatly appreciated! Love your channel!
Question:
Hey there, fellow homeowner! I'm thrilled to hear that you love my channel. As a disabled homeowner, I've got some handy tips to make cleaning a breeze for you. First, break tasks into smaller steps, tackling one area at a time. Utilize adaptive cleaning tools designed for your needs, ensuring they're easily accessible. Practice ergonomic techniques, take breaks when needed, and don't hesitate to ask for help from loved ones. Lastly, establish a cleaning schedule based on your energy levels. Remember, a clean home is within reach, and I'm here to support you every step of the way!
Thank you so much 😂 The bloopers made my day. I'm so stressed out starting this new business. But you really helped with levity. And really good information 😊
You are so welcome!

Lucille from Albuquerque NM. ❤
So glad to know that the videos and tips have been helpful and fun! This makes e so happy!! Thank youfor taking the time to comment, I appreciate it!😊😊
Hi Angela. Love this info packed video! Sorry this is so long, but I’m an older widow, live alone with my cat, and have recently hired a cleaning service to clean my home once a month. They use the products, tools and equipment I provide. I do touch up cleaning in between.
Questions:
1) Are the products and tools I currently use good?
2) Which microfiber cloths (in laundry bags) can be laundered together?
Here’s what I’m currently using:
BLUE microfiber wetting cloth and white glass drying cloth with Windex for glass and mirrors;
Clorox Gel Cling toilet bowl cleaner and toilet brush for inside bowl;
YELLOW microfiber cloths and old toothbrushes with
Scrubbing Bubbles disinfectant foam cleaner for outside of toilet bowl, shower, tub, tile, grout, sinks, fixtures, cabinets, counters, and counter items exposed to hairspray, makeup, etc.
FLAT STRIPED microfiber mops with
Bona laminate floor cleaner for wood laminate floors in bathrooms AND kitchen.
GREEN microfiber cloths with
Lysol food safe Kitchen spray cleaner for kitchen counters, cabinets, and appliances;
Soft Scrub for brushed stainless sink and fixtures;
Cerama Bryte cleaner for glass
stove cooktop.
Swiffer dusters for general dusting and ceiling fans;
ORANGE microfiber cloths with
Orange Glo furniture polish for wood furniture;
Eureka electric upright vacuum cleaner with attachments and disposable bag for short shag carpeting;
Dyson Cordless Bagless Vacuum with attachments for lampshades, upholstered furniture.
Thank you for any help you can provide. Great channel! Thank you!
Hi. 🤗 Thank you, I am so happy you are here. I think it all looks good and if you are happy with their service and the way your house looks when they leave, then that is the most important thing. 🙂 If for some reason you are dissatisfied just let them know. I bet they would be more than happy to work on it for you.
Angela , awesome video. Is there a video and/or suggestion for the glass window on the stove. It's the most stubborn glass that exists. Thx
Do you mean the glass in the oven door? GE put out this excellent video that shows how to do it. ua-cam.com/video/WzdRBcXFhsc/v-deo.html easily and without taking the door off.
Yes thank you ..you knew what I meant. It's like there are 4 panes of glass and even if I clean the in/outside there's still dirty glass. Thanks for the link
Pumice stone cleaned my stove/oven window. Fast and easier than several products I tried.
I am a homeowner and interior designer that provides a care guide for every item, so the client/housekeeper knows how to care for the new items.
+Jennifer Rumsey what a brilliant idea. I am so glad to hear this, not sure why, but it makes my heart sing. Thanks for sharing this. 👏👏👏
Thank you Angela Brown ~ I’m in a condominium ~ It’s fairly large (to me anyway) ~ I love the color coded (kitchen/ bathroom) idea. I found your video helpful.
You are so welcome! Thank you for your feedback!
I always see my husband using the blue kind to clean his glasses. He always has one in his back pocket. Good idea with the container i have a huge chese puff container just like it to use. I hate wasting a load on just a couple wash cloths cause of the cleaning supplies on them. I never thought about that with drying microfiber cloths and we just bought a bunch of them too and i have been drying them. I have notived that though there not the same at least after a couple washes. Now i know why.
Thanks for sharing!!! 😍😍😍
I like this video😅 job well done 🤩
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the feedback!!
your teachings are powerful
Thank you. I appreciate the kind words of encouragement and support. 🙏
Hi! I wanna thanks fort your very helpful videos. I used to work in middle east as domestic helper and a nanny at the same time. I learned so much and I am very excited to get this job.
Yay! Congrats on your new job! I'm really glad you liked my videos😊
The drill you've selected is VERY old school. You might find that something like Ridgid's18V SubCompact Brushless Cordless 3/8 in. Right Angle Drill is a better choice, since it's much smaller and lighter, and the distance between your hand holding the drill and the front of the brush is much shorter with the drill's 3.5" head depth, making for far better control, and designed better for long term holding against a surface, but without sacrificing power or RPM's (with its variable, reversible speeds of up to 1900 RPM). There are other similar drills from other companies, but I like Ridgid because it offers a LIFETIME warranty for it's power tools and batteries, and has very reasonable prices (because their tools are not bomb proof like some other more expensive ones designed for tougher jobs)--although they try to limit that to non-commercial users. YMMV.
+Richard Friend thanks for watching and for joining the conversation.
Hi Angela,
Like so many others, I admire you and what you do for our industry. I have learned so much from you over the past few years, thank you. I am not sure if i missed something in the video, but for some reason I am not comprehending the putting cloths in the mesh bags. Do I seperate by color into individual bags? Then they can all be washed together?
Thank you:)

The mesh bags if tossed in with other laundry (i.e. terry cloths) keeps the microfiber cloths from picking up lint.
@@AskAngelaBrown Good to know! I neveer wash microfiber with towels for that reason but now I will be able to!
This was so informative!!! Thank you!
I’m so glad you found the video informative. 👍
Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Thanks for watching and for taking the time to drop me a line. It's great to have you here. 🤗
Excellent video. Thank you so much! Do you have any tips on toilet bowl mold?
+Jo-Anne Murphy yes, the Bar Keepers Friend Powdered Cleanser will clean the toilet and then daily cleaning of the bowl for 10 seconds will keep it away. Ventilation in the bathroom is key.
@@AskAngelaBrown thank you so much! I have a customer who has stubborn mold under the room and I have had yet to figure out how to get rid of it. I love Bar Keepers Friend and will give it a try

@@Bettintx thank you for the information. I had thought about trying that it work so well on many other difficult things
An orbital sander or buffer might have brush attachments. They would likely be more ergonomic for the wiping motion as well as lighter.
I enjoyed the video, thank you!
