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...
Many of us spend countless hours in an office, working away and doing what we need to do, to pay da bills.. And while many offices have regular cleaners (to some degree or another), offices are never really, truly clean.   Here's my take on the nastiest things in your office, and of course,...
 2014 was an awesome year here at Clean My Space - so, we thought we would use the final video of the year to pause and look back at some of the things we learned in 2014! Below you will find a list of all of the videos we...

Your kitchen is likely one of the most high traffic areas in your home. It goes without saying that by getting the most attention, it also needs the most attention to keep it clean. The last thing you want is to spend hours cleaning, only to have it destroyed in...

This week we're talking about a subject I get asked about all the time: what to do about mold and mildew. So curl up on the couch, and get ready for things to get moldy! What are Mold and Mildew, and What’s the Difference? Mold and mildew are fungi, microscopic organisms that can thrive...
I’ve been all too excited to share my kitchen reno journey with you guys and I have to tell you, one of the things I knew was coming was one epic post reno clean up. So, rather than just doing it like a normal person (#youtubelife), we’re going to set up...
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...
