Thank you for showing a cleaning video on actual dirty surfaces! I've seen so many cleaning videos that look like they clean before they film. I'm always thinking "why are they cleaning, that tub isn't even dirty?" It was nice to see how your dusting spray worked on actual dust and tub spray worked on the ring around the tub. Thank you for keeping it real!

I've been testing out diy/homemade green cleaners, so this was very helpful! I have been busting my rump trying to scrub an old tub. I found that if I use the tube cleaner and some baking soda sprinkled on, and let it sit for a little bit it really brings the touch stains up.

Great recipes. I use 50/50 water/vinegar mix and spray that on my tub/shower, and then throw plain table salt at the sprayed surfaces which makes it easy to scrub any grime off. :)

Omg Ashley, let's just say my kids didn't get to clean their bathroom for a while. The scum was pretty piled up and hard, but when I used the All-Surface Spray as you instructed, it proved to be the boss against all the dirt and scum. This spray stood up againt all dirt I threw at it; cleaning was a breeze for me. I'm sure my kids will enjoy using this spray when they do their chores. I love this spray!!! Oh, and I evicted my bottle of 7th Generation Tub & Sink Cleaner. Lol

Thanks for the video! I'm a big fan of your channel, but this is the first time I leave a comment! I use the Castile soap, too.. But I will add some tea tree oil like what you do! It's a good tip! For the oil and vinegar one, I'll give it a try later.. Veggie wash one, not so sure, it's because I saw Dr. Greger's video on Nutritionfacts.org, saying it only works by soaking the veggies in not diluted white vinegar or 10% salt water.. For the bathroom, I use orange/lemon peel to clean it, then use Castile soap wipe off the residues..also some good facial cleanser can be green and interesting, too! Thanks for all the good work!
