  • I love telling you when you're right and how great you are.

  • And let me just start by saying, you are all wonderful and right, most of the time.

  • But sometimes CMS nation, how do I put this delicately?

  • You're wrong, and what I mean by this is sometimes the way

  • we clean things are downright incorrect.

  • But that's okay because, of course, I'm going to help correct those habits

  • in a jiffy, and also if we were all perfect, then there wouldn't be

  • any celebrity gossip magazines, and plastic surgeons and gyms

  • would be out of business. So a little bit of imperfection is okay.

  • That being said, let's have a little of fun with this and explore

  • five cleaning techniques or habits we are just plain wrong about

  • and, of course, figure out how to correct them.

  • ♪ [music] ♪

  • First up, what's the proper way to clean a knife?

  • Place in the top rack in the dishwasher, face-up to avoid cutting the wire rack?

  • Hand wash with soap and water directly after use,

  • towel dry and replace in knife storage?

  • Or fill sink with hot, soapy water, let it soak overnight,

  • and then rinse and dry the next morning?

  • The right way to wash a knife is indeed to hand wash it immediately after use.

  • Blades on knives are extremely delicate and could be damaged if knocked around

  • in a sink or a dishwater, and they can also rust.

  • So hand washing is your best bet to prolong the life of your knife.

  • ♪ [music] ♪

  • I use tumblers daily for my smoothies and for my tea.

  • I've got a nice little collection actually,

  • and I love that they're insulated.

  • They keep the hot stuff hot and the cold stuff cold.

  • So what's the proper way to clean them?

  • Place them in the top rack of the dishwasher

  • and wash on the hottest possible setting?

  • Hand wash with dish soap and water and dry with a soft cloth?

  • Or place in the washing machine inside a delicates bag?

  • This happens to be an amazing hack.

  • ♪ [music] ♪

  • Despite temptation, dishwashing tumblers busts up the mugs' ability to maintain a

  • hot or cold temperature, which is, by the way, why you're using these mugs, right?

  • The vacuum seal between the two walls can actually be broken in the dishwasher,

  • and they might even fill up with water, which would give you that swishing sound,

  • and you'll never be able to get the water out either.

  • So yes, hand wash these babies, and if you need to get a straw

  • or a mouthpiece cleaned, get crafty and get a pipe cleaner.

  • ♪ [music] ♪

  • Getting fingerprints and spots and face greases on your glasses,

  • whether it's reading glasses or sunglasses, is a reality.

  • So, how do you clean them?

  • Use an optical cloth with a bit of cleaner or water?

  • Give it the ol' 1-2 on your shirt.

  • Use a piece of tissue and your breath.

  • Glasses lenses are sensitive little babies, and even something

  • as fine as your soft cotton top or a tissue has teeny, tiny fibers

  • that can either cling on to scratchy debris

  • or are large enough to scratch a surface themselves.

  • When cleaning glasses, the only way to do it is to use a glass cleaning cloth

  • or an optical cloth, which is flat and will not pick up any debris

  • and won't scratch, and a little bit of water or glasses cleaner.

  • ♪ [music] ♪

  • Okay. So I know this isn't exactly a thing around your house, but oh lordy,

  • here's something I think we all need to learn how to clean. You hear?

  • So, how do you clean your ears?

  • After a nice hot shower, get out a few cotton swabs and wiggle away?

  • Stick your finger in your ear while out in public, wiggle and wipe on your shirt?

  • Use a tissue wrapped around your finger

  • and clean the inside and outside of your ears?

  • Despite how gross you think earwax is, your ears actually need earwax.

  • It helps protect your ear, and if you want more information on earwax,

  • since I'm sure I've captivated you with this news, just wiki it.

  • Cotton swabs can go too deep into your ear and poke around the

  • precious ear equipment you have in there in an unhealthy way.

  • Your pinky finger poked into your ear is actually

  • precisely how deep you should go with an ear cleaning.

  • So, after a shower, use a tissue and clean your ear out that way.

  • Remember to get the outskirts too, right in there, and of course behind your ears.

  • ♪ [music] ♪

  • Imagine you're driving your car and you look out through the windshield

  • and it looks hazy. What do you do next?

  • Wipe your window with your sleeve or your hand, or anything,

  • just to clear the area so you can see better?

  • Use a microfiber cloth with water or vinegar or rain or snow

  • and clean in one direction only?

  • Head to the A1A car wash and let them handle it for you?

  • You probably got this one. I am such a cleaning nerd

  • that I actually keep a microfiber cloth in my glove box.

  • The haze and moisture that builds up on your window

  • thickens over time and can make driving really challenging

  • at night or when it's super bright.

  • Rubbing the windshield only worsens your visibility since you're probably

  • going like this and you create more haze and more streaks.

  • If you notice your windshield needs cleaning, take out your cloth

  • and a bit of water or vinegar, or snow or rain, whatever,

  • wipe it in one direction to avoid streaks,

  • and voila, a clean windshield.

  • Well, that's it my friends, a fairly quick and painless pop quiz

  • and five new lessons learned.

  • Break those old habits and start doing it right.

  • Let me know in the comments down below, what's a cleaning habit that you need

  • to break, or what's something that you've always wondered about cleaning wrong?

  • Who knows? We might do more cleaning pop quizzes,

  • and I would love your input.
