More DEEP CLEAN of the Farmhouse Kitchen

I have always put news paper on the top of our cabinet’s and then I replace it every few months. It really cuts down on all the greasy dirt on the top of the cupboards. Much easier to replace the paper!

I love your cleaning videos, they are soo inspiring and I think it's because it's real life! A lot of us dont have new fancy kitchens so this is so encouraging! Thank you for sharing 😊

I’ve put newspaper on top of the cupboards to catch the majority of the grease/dirt then all you do is roll it up when you deep clean and and it’s usually just that little lip in the front that you end up having to clean👍

These videos are simply the BEST. Your home is just like mine…a real, older, not fancy, very well used, simple home. I can see how you do things, and I feel like I can have a clean home too even when it is not like a magazine photo. Thank you.

I loved the boys faces when you dumped the drawer on the table. 😱😂😂

Finally! A cleaning video where it actually needs cleaning. Thanks for sharing real life. I recently had new drawer fronts and doors installed along with new countertops. Looks like a brand new kitchen. The boxes were in good shape. You might look into that in your area. Saved thousands of dollars.

I really like the pull out shelves in your bottom cabinets. It makes perfect sense these should be this way.

This is very encouraging for a mama of 7, but was never really taught how to properly clean. It's embarrassing to admit, but I really just spot clean because I didn't know there was another way. We live in parsonage with strange shaped cabinets and things are always getting cluttered. Now I'm making a plan to clean it better! Thank you. Also, your little boys face when you dumped the drawer was precious!

You’re my hero. I’ve never even thought to wipe down my ceiling! -Natalie

Your videos inspire me!! My mom never had me help around the house with deep cleaning so I really never did that!! Today I am deep cleaning, one room at a time! Longing to live a simplistic life, canning, growing my own food and getting away from all the preservatives in our foods!❤️❤️❤️❤️thank you thank you

I love your cabinets just like they are. We call that 'loved'. They show the imperfections that come with use. I would not change them. People pay big money to replicate that look.🥰

LOL...I have just now made a plan to clean the galley of the boat we live on! Thanks for the inspiration! One thing you can do when something no longer has a lid, like a water bottle is use it to hold pencils, pencil crayons, paint brushes for art supplies, etc. Then it doesn't go in the garbage but is repurposed.

Hello Ruth Ann, I encountered your channel about a year ago and have really enjoyed and learned a lot from you about canning. I usually do not comment but I had to tell you that you are a very hard working, no nonsense AMAZING woman, your channel is so real and resfreshing, to the core. I could not stop laughing at the reality of reactions from little ones at times when we want to engage them. Later in life they will truly cherish the teachings you give them, blessings to you and your beautiful family, thank you so much for all the lessons, truly appreciated.

That's the way I used to clean, but at 75 I can't do that cleaning and have to rely on someone else to do it and people don't clean that way anymore. I applaud the effort you put into deep cleaning.

Oh! I so understand all you are going through! Good luck🤗 Great idea about the table cloth and getting rid of things no longer needed. Recycle, donate and getting the kids to help. I love your real life posts so much!

I used plain white terry cloth hand towels on top of my upper cupboards. You can gather them up, take them outside for a good shake, throw in the washing machine and bleach.

Bless your heart Ruthann for showing everyone what spider and fly poop looks like. I bet many people have no idea what that stuff is but they'd sure clean it quick once they realize. Its often on windowsills too. Great clean-up!

You are so encouraging. I grew up doing cleaning like this. Lol. Twice a year like you said. The beginning of lent and in October. Wish I still could do it. Getting older isn't fun with some things.

I love that ur children do all types of chores instead of boys do only outside n girls inside. Ur a wonderful momma Ruth.

I used to clean apartments when tenants moved out. The greasy tops of kitchen and bathroom cupboards were the worst to clean, but I found that I could use long pieces of waxed paper (or aluminum foil or paper towelling) to line along the cupboard tops, so that the next time I had only to discard the old dirty waxed paper and put down new pieces. If necessary, I used some small pieces of tape to secure the strips. This also works well on the top of the fridge, etc.
