Cleaning

Bathrooms are such a hot topic with our community. I don't know many people that love cleaning bathrooms, and I'd have to say I don't really like the job myself (although it's vacuuming I dislike doing the most).  So, because of this, I have devised a strategy that helps me...

Corn starch is the forgotten ingredient so many of us have purchased for one recipe or another. Whether it was to thicken up a sauce, or create the perfect pie filling, there’s more to corn flour than meets the eye. It’s time to dust off that box, y’know, the...

We made a video a couple of years ago about 5 homemade cleaners, and, well, it alllllllmost broke the internet.  Almost. I know that DIY cleaners are a big hit - they work so well and save money (and are secretly fun to make!).  So, I’ve come up with 5...

There's a simple reason why dish soap is a true workhorse in the cleaning world: because a good rule of thumb is to always start every cleaning job with the gentlest, safest, most basic product available to do the job—and that product is almost always dish soap. Dish soap has...

There are some things I'm going to keep to myself, but one thing I'm willing to go entirely public with is my pure disdain for vacuuming. It's just too much.  It drives me crazy.  It makes me mad!  But this post isn't an opportunity for me to vent, it's actually...

Dishwashers are NOT self-cleaning, at all.  In fact, they are little storage containers for your dirty little secrets.  Further, you can't get a good clean load through when your dishwasher is dirty.  They are known to harbour fungus, along with old food and proliferate bad odours throughout your clean...

It's crucial to check your cosmetics and toiletries for signs of degradation. While nothing too harmful can come from using expired products, some may lose efficacy, some may cause minor irritations and some will become downright unappealing and not look, smell or act as initially intended. For that reason, taking...

The summer brings about hot weather, and hot weather brings about all kinds of adorable open toe shoes, which brings about a need to keep one's toes looking presentable because no one wants to see nasty, unkempt toes. In order to keep our toes in tip top shape, we participate in...

Who doesn't love a good DIY cleaning recipe? The good news is, you can make your own, residue-free fabric softener for a few cents! What the Heck is Fabric Softener, Really... Fabric softener is designed to remove static cling and soften the clothing so that when it comes out of the dryer,...

I guess this would be my equivalent to a 'what's in my bag' video for a makeup guru.  Except I deal with cleaning products, and hardly wear a lick of makeup when cleaning.  Yes, when I do videos I'm in makeup, but that's because our cameras are beyond an acceptable...

A few weeks back we made a video all about washing dishes using your hands. Following this, I received 73,240 requests for a video on washing dishes using your dishwasher, and because we here at Clean My Space do absolutely everything that we are told, here is a video all...

You can find a microwave in just about every kitchen these days, and a lot of those microwaves need a good cleaning! Because microwaves are used so often, they get dirty really fast. At my house, we use our microwave at least twice a day. That’s 14 times a...

Garage cleaning. Just hearing those two words makes me shudder. I would rather clean anything – ANYTHING – before tackling my garage. But if we don’t pay attention to the garage it can become a dumping ground. This has happened to me before and required a lot of effort to get...

I've been going through one heck of a kitchen renovation, and it's pretty much done (yay!).  I am so pleased with the results, and it's been such a joy to set up and cook in a kitchen that feels like 'me'.  We purchased and installed all new cabinets (glass...

Some of you may know just how deeply I love steam cleaners, and being a ‘cleaning expert’ certainly has its privileges, because over the past few years, I’ve had the opportunity to try out several of them. Then, not too long ago, the friendly folks over at LadyBugSteamCleaners.com emailed me...

Here in North America, we're preparing ourselves for one of the biggest parties of the year - Super Bowl Sunday - and while I'm not much of a football fan, I do appreciate a good party now and then. So, today, I'm going to show you how to quickly and...
