  • Girl at this point the apartment building owes YOU a security deposit and cleaning fee 😭😭😭
  • I own a cleaning business! Move in / move out cleanings are so essential to making sure you’re living in a fresh, clean environment ❤
  • @annika2271
    Girllll part 2 please! I’m about to move and I’d love to have your full checklist before I go
  • @latmcb9863
    Great job - you cleaned places most people would never think of cleaning. Very motivating!!
  • @reeseb8520
    Girl, this is DNA removing level of cleaning! 😂 🙌🏼 The landlord should give you a credit for the work you put in! I appreciate all the tips and tools plus showing areas often overlooked. This was inspiring, relaxing and helpful.🙏🏻 PSA: many GE ovens have a steam clean feature. Just pour 1 cup of warm distilled water onto the bottom of the oven--it has its own built-in "tray" like yours and run the steam clean. It does a great job of loosening debris and all you have to do is wipe down the oven.
  • @twhyt
    Thank you for letting us know this all didn’t happen in one day. That’s very encouraging! 🥰
  • @madamepaka
    that garbage disposal trick was iconic and horrifying
  • I know you're a cleaning queen, but the best thing I ever started doing was paying a local, woman-owned small business cleaning crew to go into my new spaces and give them a thorough deep clean. It was a game changer.
  • You had that dishwasher looking brand new! I've never seen anyone clean the dishwasher (and the garbage disposal as well) so thoroughly. It was so satisfying to watch. And I also feel validated because I clean things thoroughly like that. I'm aware that (hopefully) places hire someone to clean an apartment before a new resident moves in. But that doesn't mean that they do a good job. I found 3 size 2T tshirts and a pair of jeans when I moved my dryer so that I could clean behind it. So it doesn't hurt to be thorough in your cleaning.
  • @lisahahn173
    I've never met anyone who would go to the trouble of cleaning their dishwasher to that extent! Especially in a rented house or apartment. You're a BEAST! That was inspirational and disgusting. 😉
  • @KO-D00M
    I have never in my life been aware of that garbage disposal tip with ice + hot water. I decided to give it a try this morning and was appalled at the amount of gunk that dislodged. Equally absolutely disgusting as it is deeply satisfying. Thanks so much for these tips and the effort you put into these videos!
  • @Nacidabruja
    I’m young & moving into my first apartment after living in hotels for the past 3 years and I came across this video . I needed this so bad I’m big on energy & cleansing & this cleaning routine will have me on the right track to do so & freely enjoy my new home 🥰 !!!
  • Girlll you on a whole other level, I been livin Nasty moving into these apartments. NOT NO MOE!!!!!! You got me cleaning on a chill day.

    I used to manage apartments for years. I wouldn’t let an apartment get rented like this. However, I always did a walk-through with a checklist and went through with new residents moving in, because I wanted to make sure they were happy upon move-in. If they felt something wasn’t clean, I’d either clean it myself (if it was 1 or 2 things that would take me 20 minutes or less to complete) or get the cleaners to come back, if there were more items that the resident wasn’t happy with. Most of the time, the cleaners will come back for free, if the resident (or myself) is not happy with the cleanliness upon move in, at least with the companies I used. I would send the cleaners back with what needs to be redone. Apartment managers pay companies to come and clean, so please let your manager know if they need to come back. This helps out the manager and the management of the cleaning companies (or helps the housekeeping staff, if they have their own housekeepers). This helps the cleaners understand the expectations of the residents and management as well. I’ve managed properties in all different areas, but my standards were the same at new apartments and apartments that were built decades prior. Please communicate with your rental office, if the cleanliness is not to your standards. However, I did enjoy watching this video, thank you!
  • @gigibeal
    as a person who was never taught anything abt anything by my parents (and also has adhd, so if they did "teach me" it wasn't enough for me not to forget it), this is already gonna come in so much help when i finally move out. idk how to adult yet, but ill find out on my own lol, n these vids rlly rlly help!
  • @GirlThatGamer
    This video was amazing!!!! It helped me understand there are more environmentally friendly ways to clean. I always have assumed they don't clean as well. I really enjoyed watching it WORK!! You make it look easy, but I know it takes a ton of energy. I would love more deep cleaning videos!!!
  • @iliana7646
    Do I need to clean? Yes. Will I watch someone else clean as “inspiration” despite needing to clean? Yes
  • @erin8808
    Please part two. I’m moving next month and just got a Bissel steam shot in preparation. A full checklist would be phenomenal
  • @1100crazypink
    I second all the comments saying how satisfying and educational your cleaning videos are. You should make a video talking about the cleaning products you use including the tools. I’d love to learn about more environmentally friendly and safer cleaning products.
