cleaning from the top to the bottom

don't forget that 360 swift for dustin

and i'm going to go ahead and start prep

preparing everything and setting things

to the side starting with my magic

eraser

and always make sure you clean your

magic erasers as well

now i'm showing you i use dom platinum

for all stone

surfaces whether it's granite or marble

and if you're not sure what surface

always use platinum power wash

i use that magic eraser and bar keeper's

friend

and those porcelain sinks that have a

lot of scratches in them such as this

one

it really does an awesome job removing

any

coffee or acidic stains in there so i'm

going to let the bark keepers friends

sit on there and sit

and we'll just keep moving on

oda bands where were sad i use this as a

sanitizing

spray cap of the cabinets and handles

then i take all the grates off of the

stove

and prepare the stove so that i use mrs

meyer

to let that product sit and do its job

now the thing i like about preparing

each

appliance such as the stove

and you'll see the microwave here soon

is

allowing the product to sit so that you

don't have to do a lot of the elbow

grease

now this cool microwave has a button to

open it so

here we go

[Music]

as everything sits i start dusting from

top

to bottom

and i get all of the around the window

frames the window seals the ledges

i pick items up and just move them to

the side and dust

the entire ledge and place them back

i even dust the fronts and sides of the

cabinets

just to remove any extra excess dirt or

cobwebs on them so it makes a lot easier

to wipe them down

now my client wanted me to use their

women's granite stone cleaner and

stainless steel for the kitchen

and so we move forward now i usually use

mrs meyer's that green microfiber cloth

and

the glass cleaning cloth to clean

stainless steel but we're going to use

what the client wants and that was the

stainless steel

cleaner we're going to clean the fridge

and all appliances all the stainless

steel appliances from top to bottom

and making sure we pay close attention

to the grain

on this the grain is those little

grooves that you see on the stainless

steel

letting you know that that's the way you

should be cleaning it so it could be

vertical it could be horizontal

make sure you check that out before you

start scrubbing because you could

potentially

damage and your appliances so keep that

in mind

now make sure you get to that bottom now

i had a little bit of difficulties with

certain angles in the video so i

apologize if you can't see

the entirety of what i'm cleaning

and that's the finished product from top

to bottom

pretty beautiful you gotta tilt your

head a little bit to see it my apologies

now i use the otobin spray once again to

clean the fronts and sides of the

cabinets

making sure we get rid of any debris

making sure we sanitize those surfaces

especially those

handles and those doorknobs all those

high

touch areas is what i use that auto band

for

don't forget that bottom and i clean all

the rest of the cabinets is what i'm

showing you

then now we have another stainless steel

steel appliance as our dishwasher and we

make sure we clean with the groove

now we're back to the areas that we let

the product sit

starting scrubbing the top of the

burners

just lightly nothing too deep just kind

of removing any of those extra

black stains that are on there we remove

that

and then we just start cleaning around

the rest of the stove top

getting rid of any of the debris and

things of that sort

i also like to move the crumbs

slowly to one side it just makes a lot

easier and scoop it off

let it hit the floor go back with the

vacuum cleaner

now we have this microwave now this

particular microwave you have to

kind of get on your hands and knees a

little bit to try to arch to see if you

got the top part

it's a little difficult but you clean

the top the sides the back and the

bottom

moving backwards

now i like gathering all my crumbs

together with the magic eraser and just

scooting it out

go back in the finish with that

microfiber cloth

cleaning the tops the sides the back and

moving

backwards until you hit the back of the

microwave front boom

how cool is this microwave super cool

right

now we're going to go ahead and shine

that stainless steel and then clean

the last part those buttons that's left

and then the microwave is all clean from

the interior and exterior

and boy is a beautiful one is done

[Music]

it's always a satisfying feeling when

you remove

any of those fingerprints from any

microwave or any surfaces

it's always nice that when you have a

nice

steady pace that you can go back and

check your work

to make sure it meets the expectation

that you have for yourself

quality beats quantity any day so just

finishing

wiping down the cabinets and

voila let's wipe down this stove top

finish the job it's literally like a two

or three part

process to cleaning the stove

i just like going back and forth so that

there's not a lot of

water debris when using the microfiber

cloth

if you use all eight sides of it then

you

get the most use out of it out of your

cloth

so i like to wipe down all the debris

off of the grates

the stove grates and then placing them

back on the stove it just looks better

it looks nice especially when

you have company or you know you just

it's just nice it's just a gratifying

feeling

gratifying it's a satisfying feeling

so that one i need a little bit of tlc

so i use a

wet magic eraser to get rid of any

excess gunk or debris

that thing really comes in handy i can

use it for a lot of different things

always make sure that it's wet when you

use it could be a bit abrasive if not

and then make sure you finish your other

stainless steel appliance which is left

is

the front of your stove so i'm wiping

down

all the surfaces of the stove starting

from the top

to the bottom

you want to make sure you definitely get

rid of any of that grease that usually

forms on the

front of the appliances the kitchen can

be a lot of work because we're in there

cooking so many different meals

delicious and healthy meals i hope

um we're in there cooking a lot of

delicious

meals that sometimes we forget to hit

we forget to wipe down with our daily

chores or routine

certain surfaces so that's the

importance of cleaning from top to

bottom

i like to just go back through check my

work and then

open the oven

door and just clean the top of it and

it's good

that's what it looks like from top to

bottom

look at that shine

now here is the sink i was talking about

earlier that we prepped

on that porcelain we're just scrubbing

away

those marks and getting rid of any

coffee stains

or acidic stains or our keeper's friend

is where it's at

then i just rinse everything off

and then i just keep checking my work to

make sure that it

it meets the expectation and standard

that my company has

so we just go back through with the

magic eraser and get rid of some of

those scratches and stains

look at that just coming right off and

just keep it moving

i always like to just go the extra mile

and clean a little bit of the debris and

stuff from

the garbage disposal you can't believe

you won't believe how much gunk and

stuff gets in there

so it's nice just a nice little

gesture

and i just use the magic eraser like i

said you can use it on stainless steels

predominantly what we

in my company use if there's like

extra food stains or different things

like that that won't come up

it's great for that so i just rinse

for the final rinse and then we start

wiping everything

down with that microfiber cloth

[Music]

get those final touches

look at that shine look at this pretty

and from earlier we cleaned the fronts

of the cabin so everything

is matching suit beautiful

so we normally use mrs

meyers to clean all the countertops or

the platinum power wash

but the customer had requested that we

use

the women's granite stone cleaner and

that's what we use to clean

the countertops in her kitchen

i always like to wipe the bottoms of

different items

i picked them up wipe them down and

place them back

very nice organized and very neatly on

back on the countertop so it just just

looks better i don't know it's just

beautiful

looks all organized and tidy when you're

all done all the crumbs are removed

it's just a nice feeling

make sure you lift up that toaster and

it's so much

so many crumbs underneath is crazy

i have to go over that like 50 million

times to make sure there's no crumbs

then i check my work make sure i have

any crumbs left

like i said i switch that cloth multiple

times to get the most use out of

[Music]

pretty much the same process you go

through i use the

zigzag method of wiping down the

countertops

and just check my work as i go

because even though your wiper surface

down believe it or not there's still

crumbs if you don't check

that's why i scooped down just to double

check all my work

so i just chained out my gloves put some

fresh ones on and now we're going to

vacuum the floors

[Music]

now depending on where you're going to

be leaving

in the home so like if you were leaving

out the

back door like kind of where i am at

when that door

um you kind of work your way back in on

the way

out so that way you don't step over your

work

i'm off the floor and then this is the

final job

everything looks beautiful i hope you

got a lot of value out of this

and in the meantime stay blessed not

stressed take

[Music]
