1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:05,160
Don't sacrifice having you know 
your dishes done every day to 

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:10,440
deep clean an area. 
I'm Ronnie and you're listening 

3
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,960
to clean with me, the podcast 
where I walk you through 

4
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,000
cleaning your house step by 
step. 

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,280
Welcome back to Clean with me. 
In today's episode, I'm going to

6
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:23,320
talk you through deep cleaning a
small area. 

7
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:27,680
Usually I talk you through your 
housework room by room, but in 

8
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,880
this episode I'm going to assume
that you're you're hyper 

9
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:36,000
focusing on a single area. 
This could be one wall, one 

10
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,680
corner, one window even. 
And we're going to talk about 

11
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,760
removing the clutter and then 
we're going to talk about 

12
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:49,920
cleaning the surfaces. 
And I'm going to get into just 

13
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,400
the insurance and outs of 
cleaning your baseboards. 

14
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,960
I'm going to tell you how 
professional house cleaners do 

15
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,080
it. 
And you may be thinking, I need 

16
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,640
to get my whole house 
presentable fast. 

17
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,760
If that's the case, this is not 
the episode for you. 

18
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:12,440
This is an episode for, as you 
detail small areas of your home.

19
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,440
And you might be thinking, well,
why would I do that? 

20
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:20,400
OK, not everyone has time to do 
like a major spring cleaning and

21
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,960
it's not spring when I'm saying 
this, but you know, that's the 

22
00:01:23,960 --> 00:01:25,920
popular term. 
We could call it a fall 

23
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:30,240
cleaning, but not everybody has 
the time to dedicated to that. 

24
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:35,360
In fact, most of us don't. 
Life keeps happening and even if

25
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:40,160
we set aside a day, maybe a 
Saturday, where the whole family

26
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:45,000
is working together and we get a
lot done because our family 

27
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,400
often works together cleaning 
out the garage on a random 

28
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,480
Saturday. 
But are we really going to give 

29
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,240
our entire house an overhaul in 
one day? 

30
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:58,280
Even with the whole crew 
working, it's not going to be as

31
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,440
deep of a clean when you're 
trying to get the whole house 

32
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,960
done. 
OK, so first thing I want you to

33
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:11,360
do is pick your area, OK? 
Maybe it's one wall of your 

34
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,200
living room. 
Maybe it's a corner, a cluttered

35
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:19,480
corner of a bedroom, office, 
kids room. 

36
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,840
You know, maybe it's the wall 
where the toy box is in your 

37
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,240
kids room. 
Maybe it's a wall that has a 

38
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,760
window. 
Maybe it's it's a wall that has 

39
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,960
a piece of furniture on it. 
For example, you might pick the 

40
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:38,480
wall where you have a couch and 
you're going to remove the 

41
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,800
cushions and clean everything 
out and vacuum out that couch. 

42
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,000
But you're also going to move 
the couch and clean the 

43
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,880
baseboard. 
OK. 

44
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,840
Or maybe it's a wall where you 
have a smaller piece of 

45
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,800
furniture, like a dresser or a 
desk. 

46
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,480
And maybe there are some items 
under your desk and around your 

47
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:01,880
desk on your desk. 
You know, the desk wall could be

48
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,920
your area of focus. 
I'm just giving you some ideas, 

49
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:11,240
but I want you to pick either an
area that's a problem or just an

50
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,680
area that you feel like you 
could tackle, you know, within 

51
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,600
this 20 minute episode. 
And for this first segment, I 

52
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,840
don't want you to worry about 
the cleaning products and 

53
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,240
cleaning tools. 
The first thing you're going to 

54
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,080
do is declutter. 
OK? 

55
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,320
You're going to declutter the 
area. 

56
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,280
And I guess if you're working in
an area that doesn't have any 

57
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,080
clutter, maybe you're just 
working on a blank wall with a 

58
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,560
window or something and you want
to clean the window, the window 

59
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,920
sills, the baseboards. 
You could always Fast forward 

60
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,560
this episode. 
Maybe Fast forward like 5 

61
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,120
minutes ahead. 
We're going to spend 5 minutes 

62
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,760
on removing clutter. 
An example of a recent 

63
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:54,280
decluttering project that I did 
was clearing out my piano bench.

64
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:59,120
I took everything out of it, 
threw some stuff away, relocated

65
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:03,680
some stuff, and just put the 
items back in that I wanted to 

66
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,640
keep in there. 
Often the areas that have 

67
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,160
clutter are not these empty 
walls. 

68
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,280
Usually a cluttered area 
involves furniture because 

69
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:18,240
things can be hiding around the 
furniture under the furniture. 

70
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,839
You're going to need at least a 
trash bag, and then you're going

71
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:26,920
to be sorting things into piles.
And you might even need a broom 

72
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,480
if you're having to pull things 
out from under a heavy piece of 

73
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,800
furniture that's too hard for 
you to move. 

74
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,640
But for the next few minutes, 
we're going to be removing 

75
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:41,800
clutter from your area of focus.
And just while you're doing 

76
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,120
that, putting things in the 
trash, putting things in a pile,

77
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,880
you know of stuff that you're 
going to relocate to other areas

78
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,680
of the house. 
Or maybe, you know, maybe 

79
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,800
there's also a donation pile. 
OK, while you're sorting through

80
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,120
this clutter and dealing with 
it, and let's face it, a lot of 

81
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,760
it might be trash. 
You know, you might be in a kid 

82
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,920
room and there could be some 
broken toys and things that 

83
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,720
you're throwing away. 
I'm not sure what your 

84
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:13,720
decluttering project is, but 
you're removing the clutter and 

85
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,840
sorting it. 
And while you're doing that, 

86
00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:20,080
I'll just talk about why you 
would hyper focus on one area. 

87
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,160
By the way, if you do want to 
get your whole house clean at 

88
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:27,960
once, a lot of the bonus 
episodes for paid subscribers 

89
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,880
have you getting your whole 
house clean at once. 

90
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,000
Special thanks to those who are 
already supporting the show 

91
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:40,720
financially, either on Apple 
Podcasts, Spotify, Patreon, or 

92
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,840
some other less common way. 
When you try to spring clean 

93
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,960
your whole house, so to speak, 
something's got to give and, and

94
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,680
there's a time for that. 
There's a place for that. 

95
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,480
Obviously, sometimes we have a 
deadline where we need to get 

96
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,240
our whole house looking as good 
as possible. 

97
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,800
You know, obviously these 
deadlines are self-imposed, but 

98
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,400
it could be that you're having a
birthday party at your house. 

99
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,760
It could be that you're having 
overnight guests. 

100
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,520
It could be that your spouse has
been out of town and you want to

101
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,680
surprise him or her with a clean
house. 

102
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,440
Or you could be preparing for a 
new baby or another busy season 

103
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,880
of life, perhaps taking on a new
job. 

104
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,720
These episodes are timeless. 
So I don't like to go on and on 

105
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,840
about a particular season. 
I mean, I do have some episodes 

106
00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:31,240
that are real seasonal, but this
is definitely an anytime 

107
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,360
episode, an Evergreen episode. 
You could be listening to this 

108
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,120
anytime of the year. 
And please realize I'm using 

109
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:42,200
spring cleaning as a figure of 
speech, but most of us don't 

110
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,960
have the time or energy to do 
all of our spring cleaning in 

111
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,360
one weekend. 
You know, life keeps happening. 

112
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,360
People are still expecting to be
fed. 

113
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,520
Our energy levels are limited. 
But if you have something coming

114
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:02,760
up that's not just imminent, 
instead of having to do like a 

115
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,600
crisis clean where you do your 
best to get the whole house 

116
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:12,720
looking good, you know, within a
day or two, you could start deep

117
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:18,760
cleaning one area at a time, 
either once a day or once a 

118
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:24,560
week, and just chip away at the 
deep cleaning tasks while of 

119
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,160
course keeping up on your daily 
stuff. 

120
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:32,160
OK, I'm talking about spending 
maybe 20 minutes a day or 20 

121
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:37,720
minutes a week hyper focusing on
a certain area. 

122
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:42,040
And then in that way you're 
systematically getting your 

123
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,400
whole house detailed. 
I'm recording this episode in 

124
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:50,960
September and kind of what I 
have in mind for myself is 

125
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:55,520
Thanksgiving, OK? 
So if you are expecting company 

126
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,520
over the holidays, could be 
overnight guests, could be just 

127
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,640
one day that you're hosting a 
get together, you could already 

128
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,800
be preparing for that by deep 
cleaning one area at a time. 

129
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:12,480
And then you might not have to 
shut that back bedroom door or 

130
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:17,840
the office door or, you know, 
put a rope by your staircase to 

131
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:22,160
keep people from going upstairs.
I know someone who did that and 

132
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,040
I just thought, well, if they 
wouldn't have done that, I 

133
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,480
probably would have assumed the 
upstairs was clean. 

134
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,720
It's going to feel good to be 
able to just open up every room.

135
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:36,559
Oh, you can use my bathroom. 
I mean, how impressed are you 

136
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:42,640
when you're at a party and 
someone offers to let you use 

137
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,960
their bathroom because they see 
you standing in in line at the 

138
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:50,800
bathroom and the doors shut and 
then you go into their bedroom 

139
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:55,400
to access that master bathroom 
and their bedroom is super 

140
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,680
pristine? 
I'm thinking of a specific 

141
00:08:57,680 --> 00:09:01,160
person right now. 
OK, before I delve into this 

142
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,640
topic a little more, I want you 
to move on to the next step. 

143
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,840
For this step, I want you to 
gather up your cleaning supplies

144
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,280
and maybe you have some some 
piles and things to deal with 

145
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,720
quickly. 
Deal with what you can throw 

146
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,840
away the trash. 
You know, maybe you need a broom

147
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,720
and dustpan. 
You know, whatever trash you 

148
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,720
found and debris you found, get 
that thrown away. 

149
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:30,760
OK, Put your donatables into a 
box or a bag that you can take 

150
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,360
out to the trunk of your car 
later. 

151
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,400
Or maybe you have a large 
container somewhere, a donation 

152
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,760
station in the back of your 
closet, and you're just going to

153
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:42,480
kind of add it to that container
and deal with it later. 

154
00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:45,200
That's fine too. 
Maybe you need to quickly 

155
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,840
relocate some items around the 
house or maybe you want to just 

156
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,840
put them in a basket, deal with 
them later. 

157
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,960
But we're moving on to the 
surfaces and I want you to 

158
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,000
gather up some supplies for 
this. 

159
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,040
We're going to sweep and mop or 
vacuum at the end. 

160
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,480
That's not what I'm talking 
about when I'm I'm talking about

161
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,200
surfaces. 
I'm talking more about things 

162
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:11,760
like windows, windows, sills, 
furniture, OK, like maybe the 

163
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,960
surface of your desk or your 
piano. 

164
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,520
Or if you were cleaning debris 
out of your couch cushions, this

165
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,560
could mean like spot cleaning 
your couches. 

166
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,960
It could be wiping down a hard 
piece of furniture. 

167
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:29,360
Basically all of the surfaces 
other than the floor itself are 

168
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,280
what we're going to be focusing 
on in the on this in this next 

169
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:33,560
step. 
So you want to get some cleaning

170
00:10:33,560 --> 00:10:38,280
supplies together. 
You want a rag, you want some 

171
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:42,000
kind of a brush, either a 
toothbrush or a soft bristled 

172
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,440
cleaning brush of some sort. 
Obviously when the brush is a 

173
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,200
little bigger than a toothbrush,
you can get your cleaning done 

174
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:54,360
faster if there is a baseboard 
in the area you're focusing on. 

175
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,280
And most likely there is because
a lot of times our cluttered 

176
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:01,640
areas are near the walls. 
If you've got a lot of like 

177
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:07,080
grimy buildup, especially on the
kind of that top edge of your 

178
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:11,600
baseboard, you're going to want 
some type of a cleaning product.

179
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,160
But don't get it wet just yet. 
It's easier to dry clean a 

180
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:20,760
baseboard first, dry dust it 
before you wet clean it. 

181
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,720
But if you have a ton of build 
up, there's a product called 

182
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:29,680
Crud Cutter. 
Tough task, pretty easy to find 

183
00:11:29,680 --> 00:11:31,320
if you're here in the United 
States. 

184
00:11:31,680 --> 00:11:34,200
Obviously I don't know what what
they have in other countries, 

185
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:41,080
but I'm sure you have a 
comparable degreaser and crud 

186
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,480
cutter is on the list of safer 
products. 

187
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,600
So I think it's, you know, 
fairly clean. 

188
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,040
Obviously you might not have 
that product on hand right now, 

189
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,840
but you probably have some other
type of multi purpose spray. 

190
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,120
But bonus points if you have 
some kind of degreaser, 

191
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,560
especially if you have build up 
on your baseboards. 

192
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,320
If you're dealing with scuff 
Marks and you happen to have a 

193
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:08,440
magic eraser, get that wet. 
It's one of those sponges. 

194
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,200
It kind of looks like a sponge, 
but it's not a sponge. 

195
00:12:11,560 --> 00:12:13,600
A wet magic eraser. 
Get it wet. 

196
00:12:13,680 --> 00:12:17,000
And that's going to be for your 
scuff marks on baseboards or 

197
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,040
possibly doors. 
Oh, you might need a Swiffer 

198
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:24,280
duster or some type of a duster,
whether it's a short one or on a

199
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,360
pole. 
OK, a dusting tool. 

200
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:32,000
And then last but not least, a 
micro fiber cloth and some glass

201
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,640
cleaner. 
Now, micro fiber cloth is the 

202
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:40,920
best thing that I've found for 
cleaning windows and shiny 

203
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:45,120
furniture like my piano mirrors,
of course. 

204
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,160
However, in a pinch, you can 
always use paper towels. 

205
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,480
It's going to leave some tiny 
bits of fuzz, but it's really 

206
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,800
not that bad. 
And when I grew up, my mom 

207
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,680
always cleaned all the mirrors 
with paper towels. 

208
00:12:56,680 --> 00:12:58,800
It's not the end of the world if
that's what you're using. 

209
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:04,440
OK, but add some of these things
to your grocery list if you wish

210
00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:07,880
you had them. 
OK, obviously right now you're 

211
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,240
going to clean with what you 
have. 

212
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:15,240
Where I got the idea for 
purchasing Crud Cutter is from 

213
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,960
this lady Angela Brown from Ask 
a House Cleaner. 

214
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,960
I was interviewed on her show a 
while back. 

215
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,440
She hasn't made any YouTube 
videos and I think like a year. 

216
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:29,320
I hope she's OK Great lady. 
And she's a professional house 

217
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:33,040
cleaner. 
So she has some amazing tips and

218
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,680
a lot of the knowledge I'm going
to give you about baseboards in 

219
00:13:35,680 --> 00:13:40,600
this episode comes from her. 
And I shared her video on the 

220
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,520
Clean with Me podcast Facebook 
page if you want to watch her 

221
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,760
actual video on it. 
But I'm going to touch on some 

222
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,400
of what she talked about. 
OK, now that you have all of 

223
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:54,280
your supplies together, it is 
time to start working on the 

224
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:58,720
surfaces. 
OK, you've removed clutter from 

225
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:03,760
that corner, or that piece of 
furniture, or both. 

226
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:08,680
Now it's time to wipe that 
surface down. 

227
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:14,760
You know, whether you're wiping 
down a desk or you're washing a 

228
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,880
window inside and out, like 
maybe you picked a blank wall 

229
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:22,000
and just be working on whatever,
you know, whatever your area is,

230
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,960
use those tools to clean the 
surfaces while I talk. 

231
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,800
You know, don't, don't waste too
much time wondering what I'm 

232
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,480
going to say next. 
I'm going to be talking about a 

233
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,840
few different things and not all
of them are going to apply to 

234
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,600
the area you're working on. 
But if you pick just a wall that

235
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,840
has a window and there's not any
furniture there, and you know, 

236
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,280
maybe you fast forwarded to this
part because there wasn't 

237
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:49,280
clutter to deal with, you're 
going to want to spray and wash 

238
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:54,360
the inside of the window, 
possibly even go outside and 

239
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:59,560
clean the outside of it. 
Something that I just love doing

240
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:05,120
lately is taking my Swiffer mop 
and it's the kind that's 

241
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,520
designed to put that pre 
moistened pad on and you kind of

242
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,480
you wrap that pad around it and 
you kind of push it into some 

243
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,240
holes. 
Well, you can attach a micro 

244
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:18,560
fiber cloth to that mop instead 
of that pre moistened pad. 

245
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,640
Then you spray the window or the
mirror that you're working on 

246
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:27,040
with a glass cleaner and 
basically mop the window. 

247
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:32,200
It works so well. 
I'm telling you, it's so fast 

248
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:36,160
and thorough and you just go 
over it a couple times and it 

249
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,920
just gives you a wonderful 
streak free clean mirror or 

250
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,840
window. 
Now, obviously, sometimes your 

251
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,600
exterior windows are dirtier. 
You might need to power wash 

252
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,640
them with the hose or you know, 
get, you know, get the the mud 

253
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,520
off of them first. 
I think this applies most if 

254
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:57,480
you're cleaning a sliding glass 
door and your dogs have been 

255
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:02,000
jumping up with muddy paws. 
Obviously at that point you're 

256
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:07,120
not ready to just use a glass 
cleaner and a microfiber cloth. 

257
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:11,000
You might want to spray down 
that window with a hose and, you

258
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,000
know, brush it with like that 
tool you use to wash the cars or

259
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:18,240
something, you know, to get rid 
of the the surface dirt and mud.

260
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:22,560
And then you can do the, you 
know, clean it with glass 

261
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,800
cleaner and microfiber. 
OK. 

262
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,640
And if the if the sliding glass 
door door area is your area of 

263
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,800
focus, you would clean that 
sliding glass door inside and 

264
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,600
out. 
And you would also want to take 

265
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,120
your vacuum and vacuum all the 
dust and debris out of the track

266
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,560
of the door. 
But once you've cleaned the 

267
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,320
piece of furniture, whether 
you're spot cleaning a couch or 

268
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:48,160
you're wiping a a smooth piece 
of furniture down, you're going 

269
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,880
to want to turn your attention 
to the baseboard. 

270
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,240
OK, and maybe you cleaned a 
window and a window sill, but 

271
00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:00,440
with baseboards, it's easier to 
dry dust them first. 

272
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,600
I think I already mentioned that
it's easier to dry dust them 

273
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:06,000
first. 
Professional house cleaners dust

274
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,839
the baseboards every time. 
You know how they'll charge you 

275
00:17:08,839 --> 00:17:11,720
more for a deep cleaning than 
like a routine cleaning? 

276
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,920
On those routine maintenance 
cleanings, they're just dry 

277
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,800
dusting the baseboards because 
there's not a lot of buildup. 

278
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:23,400
But keeping that dry dust at Bay
will prevent your baseboards 

279
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,960
from getting grimy and harder to
clean. 

280
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:30,880
But even if they already are 
grimy, you want to kind of dust 

281
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,960
them off with a brush first 
before you apply a cleaning 

282
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,880
product to them. 
So you quickly dry dust them. 

283
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:43,200
Then you're going to wet clean 
them by using your crud cutter 

284
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,400
or whatever else. 
But here the crud cutters 

285
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,920
available at like Walmart, Home 
Depot, Lowe's, and there are a 

286
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,360
lot of crud cutter products, but
the one you would probably use 

287
00:17:54,360 --> 00:17:56,320
on your baseboards is the tough 
task. 

288
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,520
It's for, you know, cleaning 
greasy, grimy areas. 

289
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:03,240
And maybe you have a baseboard 
cleaning tool that keeps you 

290
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,640
from having to bend if you have 
a bad, bad back or something. 

291
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:11,680
But a lot of us are just getting
down on our hands and knees and 

292
00:18:12,120 --> 00:18:16,720
scrubbing that, you know, spray 
some stuff on it, clean it with 

293
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,600
a brush and then wipe it with 
the rag. 

294
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,720
Remember, you had a rag that 
wasn't your micro fiber, just a 

295
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,680
rag. 
Of course, if you've already 

296
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:29,320
used your micro fiber on the 
window or mirror and you're 

297
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,560
you're, you don't mind dirtying 
it up, you can use that to kind 

298
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,440
of wipe the cleaner off of the 
baseboard. 

299
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,560
And again, that magic eraser 
will work for scuff marks. 

300
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:43,160
Sometimes, you know, kids or 
your spouse are vacuuming and 

301
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,960
they're just slamming the vacuum
into the baseboards and it's 

302
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,880
leaving little scuff marks. 
And don't get me wrong, 

303
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,080
sometimes after cleaning your 
baseboards, you're like, I just 

304
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,720
need to paint these. 
You might need to add that to 

305
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,680
your To Do List or your honey do
list. 

306
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:03,280
But I mean, my sister is famous 
for doing a lot of home 

307
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:07,760
improvement projects on her own.
And it's not that the rest of us

308
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:11,160
aren't capable, just some of us 
don't want to do it. 

309
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,280
I do these projects when I have 
to. 

310
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,840
There was a time when I was 
moving and we kept getting like 

311
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,680
bad reviews, bright colors 
throughout because I had done 

312
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,920
kind of an ocean theme in the 
bathroom. 

313
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,480
And you know how when you're 
looking at the color swatches 

314
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,280
and you're, you know, you're not
a professional decorator or 

315
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,840
whatever, you don't realize that
the paint's going to look a lot 

316
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,440
darker once you get it on the 
wall, you know, compared to what

317
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:40,600
it looks like on that card. 
So I was trying to sell a house 

318
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:44,480
and the, the guest bathroom was 
a really bright blue. 

319
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,720
And you get feedback after the 
showings. 

320
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,880
You know where the real estate 
agent is typing in what her 

321
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,960
clients commented about your 
house. 

322
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:56,640
They were saying bright colors 
throughout. 

323
00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,560
But it was a four bedroom house.
Most of it was neutral except 

324
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,960
for that guest bathroom and one 
of the kid bedrooms. 

325
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:08,280
But I decided with a four 
bedroom house, a buyer should be

326
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:12,360
OK with like one bright green 
bedroom. 

327
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,680
And it was like that sponging 
that was popular for a while. 

328
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,880
So it was kind of the walls in 
that one bedroom were kind of 

329
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,120
crazy, something that I had 
allowed a teenager to do. 

330
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,520
Bottom line is my husband was 
already working in another state

331
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,400
and I was kind of traveling back
and forth to visit him. 

332
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:34,440
I had four kids at the time. 
My youngest was a baby, like 9 

333
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,480
months old. 
So it was kind of an ordeal 

334
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:42,200
painting that large guest 
bathroom myself, because in the 

335
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,040
bathroom you've got to tape off 
a lot. 

336
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:45,520
There's there are a lot of 
obstacles. 

337
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,520
It's not like you're just 
painting a blank wall. 

338
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,400
But I did do a great job and as 
soon as I got it painted white, 

339
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,120
the house sold. 
But normally that's the type of 

340
00:20:54,120 --> 00:20:57,720
thing I would ask my husband to 
do, but he was not able to at 

341
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,560
that time. 
And yes, I've mowed lawns before

342
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:04,000
and stuff, but in general I give
him that kind of stuff. 

343
00:21:04,360 --> 00:21:08,040
So yes, I realize you're capable
of things when I say put it on 

344
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:13,600
the honey do list, but you're 
probably already doing a lot of 

345
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,400
housework. 
And of course, if you did choose

346
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:21,440
a window, you're going to want 
to dust the blinds, maybe wash 

347
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,800
the curtains. 
Or if it was a hard piece of 

348
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:29,120
furniture that you were 
decluttering on and around, you 

349
00:21:29,120 --> 00:21:33,320
might want to kind of decorate 
it, decide which items you're 

350
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:37,240
going to place on it, you know, 
and kind of position them in an 

351
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,920
in an aesthetically pleasing 
way. 

352
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,760
Those finishing touches are kind
of the fun part. 

353
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,760
And if you're like me and you 
have you kind of have a deadline

354
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,240
that's far out. 
If you're preparing for 

355
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:53,680
something that's a couple months
out, maybe after this episode, 

356
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:58,200
you can make a list of deep 
cleaning projects. 

357
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,960
Or you can just kind of 
systematically work your way 

358
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,240
around your home. 
Like if you started, if you 

359
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,760
started with that wall where 
your living room window is, 

360
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,720
maybe you're going to just turn 
the corner and focus on the next

361
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,240
wall where one of the couches is
and just kind of work your way 

362
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,600
around the perimeter of your 
house systematically. 

363
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,240
Or if there are just a few 
problem areas, you could make a 

364
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,080
list and start checking them 
off, you know, each day or each 

365
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,920
week as you get those done. 
But by spending only a few 

366
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:34,680
minutes on these hyper focus 
projects, it allows you to kind 

367
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,880
of do your daily tasks. 
You know, don't sacrifice 

368
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:43,040
having, you know, your dishes 
done every day to deep clean an 

369
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,200
area. 
Ideally, you want to do both. 

370
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:50,320
At this point in the episode, I 
want to encourage you to clean 

371
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:55,320
the floor either by vacuuming or
sweeping and mopping. 

372
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:59,440
OK, that's the last step. 
And of course, if you had some 

373
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,040
items that you put in a basket, 
you're going to want to put 

374
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,280
those away things that are in 
your relocation pile. 

375
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:09,280
Or maybe you need to take that 
trash bag you filled up to your 

376
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,840
outdoor trash bin. 
But for the sake of keeping this

377
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,280
episode short, you might need to
just put on your cleaning 

378
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,640
playlist after this. 
It's a good idea to have a 

379
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,080
playlist of music that gets you 
in the mood for cleaning. 

380
00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:26,240
Bonus points if it's not the 
same music that you listen to 

381
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,720
while you're in the car, because
you want to kind of condition 

382
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,840
yourself to clean when you hear 
certain songs. 

383
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:37,280
Anyway, I hope you decluttered 
an area and cleaned those upper 

384
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:43,440
surfaces and cleaned the 
baseboard on that wall or on 

385
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,400
those two walls if you're 
cleaning a corner and that 

386
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,360
you're finishing out with the 
floors. 

387
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,120
Thank you so much for listening.
I appreciate each and everyone 

388
00:23:52,120 --> 00:23:54,720
of you and as always, happy 
cleaning. 

389
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:56,360
I'll talk to you in the next 
episode.
