Crack, shatter, waaaahhh, in-head estimation of damages, safety measures. That's usually how these things go.

Alas, small breaks do happen and even the most lovely ornaments, light bulbs and even glasses are prone to breaking. So if you find yourself among a broken item and a lot of warm bodies this holiday season, here's how to quickly clean up the mess without interrupting the party....

Fats, oils and grease seems harmless, but indeed it is not.

When in liquid form, it is being beckoned by the kitchen sink. Seems like the easy solution. However, when the fat, oil or grease cools (even if you blast it with hot water on its way down), it hardens and sticks to the pipe walls. Do this over enough holidays and bam, when you expect it the least, a clogged pipe or worse yet, a burst pipe. Merry Christmas. Kids, Santa came last night and uh, the reindeer needed a bathroom break so decided to use our basement.

The simple fix is to properly dispose of your fats, oils and greases properly (and let this be a reminder as to why your doctor is trying to get you to cut out greasy foods from your diet).

We love herding your stories, seeing your messy/clean pics and answering your questions!

I take the time each week to review all the comments on our YouTube channel, blog, Facebook page, Twitter feed, etc. There are a copious amount of requests for dusting cheats. Here are 10 quickies that will cut your cleaning time and most of them won't cost you much. I'm all about figuring out shortcuts that will not affect the outcome of the task, or better yet, improve upon it altogether.

So in no particular order, here you go:

10 - Ceiling fans and light fixtures - use a bendable duster to do this, you won't need a ladder (unless you have really high ceilings), you can bend to suit any light configuration (including a ceiling fan, just bend 90 degrees), and you can remove the cover and machine wash. I got this one at Wal Mart and it cost me under 8 bucks.

9 - Corners, moldings and door frames - spiderwebs and dust aplenty here. This area usually goes ignored, but here's the laziest, easiest way to do it. Grab a mop pole and old sport sock, flip the sock inside out and place over the end of the mop pole. Now, you've got an amazing high-duster! You can also use microfiber cloth secured around the pole with an elastic band.

8 - Walls - we get asked this a lot. I personally don't dust my walls, but if it is something that needs to be done, you can simply use a flat head mop (like a Swiffer) and use a Microfiber cloth sprayed with a bit of water. No need to use an expensive product here! Simply work the tool up and down the wall using a 'W' pattern to save time and energy and to ensure you are covering the entire space.

7 - Bathroom vents - these get super dusty - they run for a long time and suck up tons of dust. The next time you're cleaning, use your vacuum with brush attachment to suck up the dust. Now, your vents won't look like those of a mechanic's shop.

6 - Baseboards - revert to trick # 9, use a mop pole with a cloth or old sock attached to it, lightly sprayed. No more bending down, no more tough work. This makes the job so much easier and also allows you to access hard-to-reach areas like behind furniture.

5 - Delicate items - to clean ornaments, antique pieces, silk flowers or small delicate trinkets, lightly mist a small paintbrush and use that to do detailed dusting.

4 - Dust in the right direction - dust is like snow; it falls from the top to the bottom. So, when dusting, start with the highest items and work your way down to the lowest. If you don't, you'll have to repeat your work. Another good thing to keep in mind is to work in a spiral formation - working clockwise tackle all four corners and mouldings, then move down and dust all tops of frames, etc, lower again to dust all table tops and finally all baseboards. Then vacuum. Do you see how this allows no dust to fall on an already cleaned area?

3 - Use microfiber cloths - I've been spouting off about them for years. I can't understand why you would dust with anything else - it makes you spend more time cleaning! A microfiber cloth is electrostatically charged, meaning it literally attracts dust. It is also highly absorbent so it can last longer during your cleaning task. They won't leave lint or dust behind and leave surfaces streak-free.

2 - Clean your ducts every 5 years. That's a huge source of dust and allergens and if you have had renovations recently or have lived in the house after someone else has, this is the ultimate form of dusting. A vehicle will come by and vacuum your vents out, leaving no residual dust in the home environment due to dirty vents.

1 - To vacuum delicate areas or areas where you can't see, vacuum with a pantyhose covered dust brush. The nozzle can now collect dust while using a dust brush without running the risk of sucking up valuables or items you don't want vacuumed up!


Hope that has helped you - what are your dusting tips?

We love hearing your stories, seeing your messy/clean pics and answering your questions!

I think we mention baking soda in about 50% of our videos. The stuff is incredible. It's cheap, available in every grocery and drug store and has so many uses. It's fascinating stuff! It's great for three key functions from a cleaning standpoint: abrasion, deodorizing and whitening.

I could probably do a video on 10 uses for baking soda every week for the next 20 years and never once repeat myself...now do you understand how amazing this stuff really is?!

I also love it because it is safe enough to eat, in fact, it is found in many baking recipes. Therefore, I'm convinced that it is a household cleaning kit staple.

So in no particular order, here you go:

10 - remove scuff marks and crayon marks from a painted wall.

9 - battle the worst body odour with baking soda.

8 - clean and unclog a smelly sink drain.

7 - clean your tile grout. Our in-depth video on grout cleaning http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qS30FQ...

6 - add abrasion to any cleaning product (especially a homemade one) - this puts other products like VIM and Comet to shame. Here's our video on making your own cleaning products http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQxkD3...

5 - deodorize your kitty litter box.

4 - clean your non-self cleaning oven. You don't need anything caustic!

3 - remove hair product build-up from your hair (hair clarifying treatment). Mind=blown.

2 - deodorize your carpets

1 - add to laundry to create an amazing laundry booster!

Have I convinced you to purchase an industrial drum of the stuff yet?

Traveling but feeling out of sorts because you can't clean, wash and organize the way you do at home? Here are some simple, inexpensive cleaning and organization tips for travel from Cleaning Expert, Melissa Maker. Visit http://www.cleanmyspace.com for the full post.

OK, back to business:

Keep in mind, our blog details a lot of these and also has additional tips and tricks that we didn't put in the video. So check it!

Rather than travelling with a shoe shine kit, take some vinegar packets with you or yank some from the hotel restaurant, and use a washcloth from your hotel bathroom and buff marks and stains off your leather shoes. Vinegar won't dry out your shoes, don't worry.

Travel with zippered bags in lieu of fancy travel bags (that's my husband's Coach bag, he won it at a company event). If something spills or explodes during travel, these travel bags offer no protection and your clothing and suitcase can get soiled. Put everything in zippered bags and you'll feel better about life. Bring a few extras along just in case you do have an 'incident'.

Pack mini laundry detergent packets, I found a 3 pack of Tide at Wal Mart for a couple of bucks. In case you need to wash clothing, use these - they take up no space and can mean clean clothes for you in a matter of 10 minutes by simply hand washing your clothing in the sink.

Bring a stain remover pen with you - it allows you to pre-treat stains so that when you arrive back home you'll have half the battle already fought. If you leave a stain to sit for too long, it can become near impossible to remove.

Use a dryer sheet to keep your luggage and its contents smelling fresh. This is especially great for your return home, when everything isn't smelling like roses.

Do you ever wonder how to keep your clean and dirty clothes separate? Use the hotel laundry bag to keep your dirty clothing separate from your clean clothes. This is usually located in the hotel room closet.

Alcohol wipes - the best little travel items! Use these to clean your hands in lieu of hand sanitizer and also to clean anything in your hotel room that you don't trust.

Finally, pack your jewelry carefully to avoid tangles. Feed hall a delicate chain through a plain drinking straw and clasp it closed. This prevents tangles. You can also roll pieces of jewelry in a hand towel to prevent them from getting tangled up.
