 Hey guys welcome back to my channel so today I'm going to be working on doing a deep clean in my kitchen. If you guys are new around here we recently moved into this house and we are renting it but I haven't gone through and done a true deep clean like wipe the outside of the cabinet and the inside and everything so I want to go ahead and do that if you guys remember when we first moved in I did put some liner in the drawers well now I want to go through and put the same marble liner in the bottom shelving or the bottom cabinet so the top shelving I do want to eventually put that like shelf liner that it's a little bit of a cushion but I don't have any on hand today and I really want to get this done so I'm just going to whip through clean everything but part of my motivation to do this I'm like so excited so I'm constantly looking for renters hacks to make things look a little bit more of my style and one thing that definitely is not my style and it's a little bit out of date is the hardware in this kitchen well I found something completely perfect on Amazon and I'm going to go ahead and say that I feel like this is definitely a renters hack. You all know that the thing that's on trend is like the bigger handles which if that is not the way that your cabinets are set up you actually have to like patch the little hole of the whatever handle was there before and then like drill new holes for larger handle well with a rental property you definitely don't want to do that unless you know your landlord would be okay with that and even so I don't know I just feel like it would you know obviously be damaging or changing their property which I don't want to do but I found something on Amazon that I'm so excited about this is not sponsored by them but I'm definitely leaving a link below and that is the little knobs I'm going to open this one up I've started on a few of my cabinets but as I go through and clean them I'm going to go ahead and put them on so all of the knobs in this kitchen are just a one whole knob like they're not a bar or a handle but these are so cute they just look like this and I'm going to go ahead and show you in a second like the before and after of what they look like my kitchen is a disaster right now because I fell asleep last night did not get my nighttime routine done that happens to me like probably I would say three times a week I don't actually do all of my dishes at night I had done earlier yesterday anyways big pile of dishes great for motivation and good to get it all cleaned up to deep clean so I'm going to show you what this looks like and the best part about it all is these are super super inexpensive on Amazon super inexpensive and they gave you that kind of like modern look without having to drill holes or anything like that and the greatest part is that when you're renting hardware is super easy to change out so you just unscrew the screw on the back pull it out put this in and then when you go to move you can just put the original hardware right back on it doesn't damage anything and it's just a fun way to change up your kitchen look here is what the current hardware looks like obviously a little bit out of date and then here is what the new knobs look like I am so thrilled with this I feel like it's going to change the whole look of the kitchen and I've done half of the kitchen and what I decided is I'm going to get all of my dishes done and then I'll be able to do the other half I don't know that's just the way that I am with goals so I'm going to go ahead and get started and I hope this gives you a lot of motivation I used to stay up all night trying to find my place chasing me on lights and looking for some kind of trace to lead me out of darkness give me a little faith something to make me stronger someone could like if you see a little bit of movement it's just my daughter is walking around I know sometimes people are like I think I saw something move in your house in my cleaning videos and yes I have three children so of course they're there sometimes they're in their room playing or just in a different room than what I'm filming cleaning and so that's why sometimes you don't see them and sometimes you do so I don't know if you guys are like me but I love goals and today like I said my goal was to get the dishes done before I changed out the other half of the knobs and this was super simple to do and I actually wiped it all down with a Norwex cloth if you guys have never heard of Norwex they're like a microfiber cloth and they do such a good job I can actually kind of compare them to a mr. clean eraser because the microcloth is so tiny like the threads are so tiny it cleans off like dirt and grime absolutely great so of course on cabinets it's really great and it actually kind of light into these cabinets a little bit this day I know that sounds kind of crazy but it really did it they cleaned them so so well so I did the drawers like I said and I actually had organized them already and everything so I just wiped them out and then I also wiped out my silverware container you know how that needs to be done every couple weeks it just gets little crumbs and stuff in there and then I also kind of decluttered my straw situation I had a handful of them that I don't use and I just got rid of them and also moved the girls little straws up to where the lids are for their sippy cups and then this cabinet was my most dreaded cabinet of the day I knew it was down there I knew it was a mess and I knew I was gonna have to do something with it so it's where my containers are and in our other house I kind of had a pretty good system on how I kept everything all cleaned up but I needed to come up with a new one so I wanted to share with you this little hack when it comes to putting contact paper down I only tear the edge off the back just so that doesn't stick the whole way across the shelf so that when you go to replace it or to remove it is really easy to pull up and it's not actually sticky in the middle so you're gonna see me do this through all of the cabinets on the bottom that I only tear probably about three inches off of the edge of the back if that makes sense and then it makes the whole thing not sticky just the edges this is the cupboard that we keep all of our drinkware obviously and whenever we moved in I had some friends helping me out and they were like we're just gonna throw this stuff up here you can move it around then when you want to well that was like over a month ago and we've just kind of kept everything where they put it so I got up there and just kind of move things around to where they're more convenient for us and how I wanted it to be and I also added some mason jars in because we do use those on a regular basis and it was just kind of a pain to go to storage every time we needed one so I just wanted them in reach so that we could quickly access them. This is another area that I had organized during our move just because we use it so much and that's under my sink I had this basket for hand towels and dish towels and then storage for my cleaning things that I use regularly in the kitchen. This cabinet is kind of like our health cabinet I guess has my supplements in it and my essential oils it's just something that we have to have in the kitchen because we use it all so often and it's just something I've learned that needs to be within reach. This is our junk drawer I've done my very best to keep this organized I go through it pretty much weekly and get rid of stuff that gets thrown in here and it's just something again that's a must-have in the kitchen. Right here is our spice area I haven't gotten a lot of spices since we moved so I will be doing a reorganization of that and then these are just baking items and random things that I like to keep in mason jars. This is where I keep my cooking utensils it's great right next to the stove and I honestly don't like anything more than that I really declutter that a lot and just keep what fits in that drawer. I'm so happy that I got all of this done today it just is such a great feeling and I'm gonna leave you with a clip of my pantry I'm not gonna go into great detail because I've shown it to you guys before and I wanted to thank you for watching this video if you're new around here don't forget to hit the subscribe button give this video a like and I will see you in my next video
