- Good morning guys. It's Marybeth with Rovers
Makeover in Oklahoma City. Today's video is gonna
be a little different, obviously you've seen the title. This is gonna be a full day,
a full entire day of work. I have five dogs today. So I'm gonna show you, I
literally just came in the door. I got out my laptop and set it up. And yeah, so I'm gonna start, I have about an hour until
my first appointment. And so yeah, let's get started, cause it's gonna be a long day (chuckles). First things first, you can
see I've got some towels here that are leftover. I'm just going to put them in this basket. And then the towels in the dryer, usually need two cycles. So this one's obviously been dried more than once, so I'm just gonna set them on the folding
table that I already have. (towels thump on the table) Okay, and then the ones in the washer, in the washer, are gonna get moved to the dryer. And the ones in the laundry
basket are gonna get moved to the washer. (dryer lid bangs closed) I don't change the lint trap every time, it's every other time. Just cause there's usually not very much. Okay, I'm just gonna
put the dirty towels in. I try not to do more than
five or six towels in a load, just to make sure they get 100% clean. Then I'm gonna do 10 squirts. (pumps detergent) This is the OdoBan, this disinfects the towels
while they're being washed. And then I'm just gonna
put in a Tide Power Pod, they're are a lot bigger. And then we just start it. Since I have five dogs today, definitely want to have plenty of towels. Right now, I have five out here. So, as I bring them out I fold them, and then I just leave
them in a stacked pile until I need some. I'm just gonna get three, and then put them, put them right there. That way, if a dog needs two
towels, I have plenty to use. Okay, so the next thing is vacuum. I'm going to vacuum everything
and then I'm going to mop. The vacuuming will be on time-lapse because it does take me a bit to vacuum. So here's the time-lapse for that. (upbeat music) So usually while I'm
doing this, I would have like a Podcast on, or a book, or some music. But, because YouTube doesn't
allow certain things, it's just quiet today. This right here is a bowl for dogs to drink out of while they're here. I replace the water every day. (bowl clangs) All right, so. (footsteps) To do mopping. So I will go around and look, and anywhere that looks
like it's going to be a hard spot to get off, I
will go ahead and spray it so it can start to soak in. There's like some spilled kid
food or something right there. (footsteps) I don't see any other spots. (footsteps) So when it comes to
vacuuming with a Shop-Vac, it's different than just
using a regular vacuum. One, you have to worry about the air that's blowing out the back. And if it goes somewhere that you haven't vacuumed yet, it's going to blow the hair everywhere and then you're gonna have
to redo what you just did. So you've gotta be... Cause the air comes out of here, and so you have to be really careful about where you're vacuuming, and the direction of the Shop-Vac. And then another thing like, it's not the same, like
you don't have to cover every single square inch
when you're vacuuming, because it's such a strong vacuum that it will suck up stuff. You know, that's, you know, one or two inches away from
the head of the vacuum. So, now I'm going to prepare to mop. So it is a little more detailed of what I need to do to get that done. So I do only mop once a week, and that's usually on Monday
morning when I come in. It's not Monday morning, but, I was off Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, for doctor's appointments and such. So, today's Thursday,
and it's the first day that I'm here at work. And that is why I'm
gonna be mopping today. So yeah, I'm just going to pick stuff up that needs to be picked
up before I can mop, and then we'll get started mopping. So it's already 8:20. I like to try to be done by 8:40, because I do have clients
that will come in early. Earlier than they need to. The reason why I didn't vacuum back here in the laundry room and in the bathroom, is because when I groom, the door is shut. I still vacuum those areas, I just don't do it every single day. Okay. So for mopping, I get the hottest water possible. (water runs into basin) I'll let that warm up a minute. And then, today I'm actually going
to be using Pine-Sol. The OdoBan has a chemical
in it that makes me cough. (water continues to run) And I'm not the only one,
I've talked to other groomers and other places that use the OdoBan. And there's a chemical in the OdoBan that makes everyone cough if it's at the right concentration. And I just don't feel that that's good for my lung health. So I'm gonna be using Pine-Sol,
it kills 99.9% of germs. And after we get done mopping there's a few more things that
I need to do to get ready. Like make soap, and clean
out some of the cages, and clean up my grooming area and plug everything back in. So yeah. (upbeat music) (footsteps) So if you guys have been here a minute you know that I had my
floors resealed recently. They did a terrible job,
they didn't strip it first. They just came in and slapped it on. So there are some spots where
I cannot efficiently mop, because it's not sealed right and the concrete just soaks up the water. And that's where the stuff is,
that's why I've put it there. (mop swishes) Like I'll mop it and it doesn't do anything cause the, the water just soaks into the concrete. (mop continues to swish) Another thing you want to keep in mind if you have a dog grooming shop, is to change your air filters more often than you do at home. (water drips from mop) There are so many allergens
and pollens that dogs bring in, and to keep yourself healthy, you have got to replace your air filters. (mop swishes) I replace my air filters once a month. And while that may seem like
a lot, every time I cut a dog, there is tiny little hair particles that fly up into the air. (water swishes in bucket) (mope swishes) (mop clangs against table) So back here when it gets wet, there is hair that sticks to the wetness, and then I can't get
it up with the vacuum. So that's another important reason to mop. (mop swishes) Again,
(mop continues to swish) I can't... You see the difference,
how it's white over here, that is concrete. It's sealed, but it's not sealed properly. And there's no point in mopping over here because it just sucks it
up, the concrete does. So, we're gonna rinse this
and then we're gonna mop under the tub one more time. (water drips from mop) So again, I change my
air filters once a month, the beginning of the month, every month. And I use the expensive ones. I use the allergen,
(mop clangs against tub) the allergen ones. And I have seen a major, major difference. My allergies are not as bad. (mop continues to clang against tub) All right, so. (mop clangs against table) Now that that is done, I just rinse
(water swishes) the mop head.
(water continues to swish) And then I squeegee, or, you know, squeeze all the water out, and then I'll twist the
other way, and do it again. And then I just come and set it back here. (mop clangs against the wall) It's 8:38, so it took me
almost 20 minutes to mop. So what I'm gonna do now, is I'm going to
(clanging in basin) check this drain. (continues to clang in basin) There is hair in this drain, so I'm just going to, (water swishes) get this drain draining. Turn it on hot, hot water
and just rinse all this down. (water runs) So here's what I'll do, is
I'll just move this over, and then let it fill up. (water continues to run) with water.
(water continues to run) Fill it with water. Well, I... Actually, I don't need to do that today because this shampoo is almost gone. So when a shampoo is
almost gone like this, I'll go ahead and do this so I could clear out this pump.
(water continues to run) So what I'll do is I'll just take a pump and put it in here, and just pump it until
all the soap gets out. (pumps water) Hot water. (continues to pump water) You don't wanna leave the soap sitting in a pump that you no longer using, it will congeal and dry out and it'll be super hard
to get out next time. (continues to pump water) So this is about what
we need for a gallon. So all I'm gonna do,
(water continues to run) is pour this in here. The reason I'm not using the nozzle is because it'll create a ton of bubbles, and we don't want that. (water continues to run) We don't want it to make a ton of bubbles. (water continues to run) So then we put a lid on it. The reason I use the hot water, it tends to mix better
with the soap, the shampoo. I rinse it off. I take the lid off, I give it one push down, just to get the extra
suds and foam off the top. And then, you know, we're ready to go. (water continues to run) Ready to go. Then I just pop,
(water continues to run) just pop in that, make sure it's working. (water continues to run) And it is. So then I turn it off, and, you know, we've
already rinsed this one out, and that's it. That's how I get ready for
the bathing (indistinct). And I just put this back. Now we're gonna go clean up my work area. All right, so here's my work area, just gotta put all the bottles together. These are dog treats. Gonna put all the blades
back where they go. (clanging on work area) Scissors back where they go. Nails clippers back. (continues clanging on work area) (wipes work area) (claps hands) Now (exhales), we're gonna go put stuff back where it goes. (pipes clang) Just gonna plug this in. (scuffling) Okay, same thing. I'm gonna take the cord
to the grooming table. Going to take a wet towel, just hot water. These cords... These cords tend to get a lot of fur on them because
they're on the ground. You can't always get all this off. Cause it's just... It's just grime, I mean, I wipe these off every time and, they still get grungy. And we're just gonna
plug back in the cable, (indistinct) goes. So that's basically it. I've got a client that just pulled in. I will wipe down the... Wipe down the cages real quick and then wipe down the table, and then I'll get started grooming. All right, so I got the dogs from the car. First things first, just going to put on my smock. This prevents hair from
getting on my shirt. These are siblings. Come here. This is the first one. This is the first one. I just take the collars off. Okay, take the collars off. I have a spot, I just put them right here. Okay, I'm going to put them in a cage that is already clean, it
doesn't have anything in it. What are you doing, come here. Come here, (indistinct), you're okay. Come here. All right, so this is the other one. These guys are getting short. The owner wants them short and then just trimmed up short faces. Not necessarily a
Schnauzer cut on this one. So, shave down, short
face on both of them. So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna put them in the cage real quick. (cage rattles) (background noise drowns out Marybeth) (cage continues to clang) Start of everyday, you need
to shake out your air filters. That is what keeps your
dryers from sucking in hair and causing major issues. Okay. I'm just gonna put that back in. And then, we're gonna get these cords and untangled them. I think it was top and bottom. This is a special plug over
here for the dryers to handle... To handle the dryers
because they pull so much electricity and power. I think it's top and bottom. Not left and right. We'll find out. All right, I'm gonna get my head mount on, and then, we'll start grooming. I'm gonna wipe down this table real quick. (cloth rustles on table) I'm gonna get my head mount on and then we'll get started grooming them. (cage door clangs) (leash rattles) What do you think? (upbeat music) (upbeat music continues on time-lapse) (cage door clangs) Okay. So that did trip the breaker. I couldn't remember if
it was circuit, circuit, or circuit, circuit. So, this one's gonna go here. (dryer hums) And this one's been tripped. So I'll have to come back here and flip
(dryer continues to hum) both of them. Another thing that most
people don't think about. Yeah. So you can see this one
right here has been tripped. Okay.
(door clangs) All right, I'm gonna put this
all the way back up to dry. Again, it takes two cycles
for the towels to get dry. And then, I'm just going to put the dirty towels into the laundry basket. And then I am gonna go eat breakfast. Yeah, my... The dog stuff comes first and then I take care of myself. So, I guess I'll do a time-lapse
of me eating breakfast too. (lighthearted music) Okay. So I know there's
gonna be some people asking, what are you drinking? What's in the gallon? This is just flavored water. Zero Cal flavored water. You know, you get the packets
from Walmart or wherever, and that's what's in here. These are the new stickers I ordered for Oklahoma Humanitarian Relief Team. If you guys don't know about
them, the link is down below. We help the homeless. About to order some Rovers stickers also, but I think they turned out fantastic. About to start grooming these dogs.

groomers have to deal with. I was supposed to have
a dog come in at 10:15. It is now 10:35. Okay, here's the date, it's March 4th. It's Thursday. Supposed to come in at 10:15, obviously did not show up. They were a reschedule, so
I don't know what happened. But I don't have any appointments
until the middle of April. So, you know, that's six weeks from now. And they're either gonna
have to find another groomer or their dog's gonna get matted. You know, so here's what
the dog looks like now. She's so cute. Look how big those ears are. You look like a puppy now. But, I'm just gonna wait. I've got two dogs that
are over a hundred pounds coming in for a bath, I believe at 11 or 11:30. And so I'm gonna call
this owner and have them come pick up the dogs, and I'm gonna work. All right, guys. So my next big dogs are here, and the owner to these dogs
is here to pick 'em up. So I'm gonna take 'em outside. All right. So, while I was taking
the little dogs out, one of the Pyrenees has pooped. I gotta clean it up. I had put them in this room, so they didn't have to be in a cage. Well, that was probably a mistake. You know, there's a
rhyme and reason of why, you know, businesses do
certain things a certain way. And this is one of them. When they're in a cage, the likelihood of them, you know, urinating or defecating
in the cage is a lot less than if they are able to run around and sniff and do that kind of thing. So, I'm gonna get this cleaned up and then we'll get
started on the first bath. (upbeat music) All right. Let me get her in the drying cage. Come on. (dog shakes off water) So here's what I'm gonna do. Because (sighs), I've been thinking about this while I was drying her with
the high velocity dryer. (cage clangs) I know some of y'all are
not gonna approve of this. I don't care. I don't like these being on the bottom when I've got big dogs in, because they tend to slide around. Easy girl, come here. (cage continues to clang) So I'm going to take these completely out. (cage continues to clang) Come on (clicks tongue), come on, come on, go. That way, she can just go
in and lay how she wants to. These cages are plenty
big for the big dogs. She is standing up
without hitting the top. And it's not,
(cage clangs) it's not long-term use, guys, it's literally just
to dry her and that's it. (dog barks) So, I'm gonna put one dryer on this side, put a dryer on the other side. (dog continues to bark) And she'll start drying. I'm gonna let her get a
head start about 30 minutes before I start bathing the other dog. Okay, so I know some of
y'all are not gonna care but I'm going to eat
lunch now, it's 11:48 AM. I'll show you guys, 11:49, still March 4th. So I'm gonna eat, I'm not
gonna do a time-lapse. I have these on, because this dog is barking and it's really loud, and we can only take so much barking, and it's not good on our hearing. So yeah, that's why I have these on.

- [Marybeth] Hi. What can I do for ya? - [Woman] I was just
wondering how long it takes to get an appointment (faintly speaking). - [Marybeth] Right now I am booked out until around April 14th. - [Woman] Okay, my dog (faintly speaking). - [Marybeth] Okay. - [Woman] I have three
dogs that need grooming. - [Marybeth] Okay. Hey bud. - [Woman] I happened to be
over here and I thought, I'm just gonna pop in there and see if (faintly speaking). - [Marybeth] I am, as
long as you're open to, you know, it taking a while to get in. - [Woman] Well, that's
fine (faintly speaking). (woman continues to faintly speak) - [Marybeth] Okay. - [Woman] (faintly speaking) - [Marybeth] Yeah, what
kind of dogs do you have? - [Woman] I have a Shih Tzu, and then I have a Schnauzer,
(faintly speaking). - [Marybeth] All under 40 pounds? - [Woman] Oh yeah.
It's 50 each. And that includes everything. Nails, ears, sanitary,
anal glands, haircut. Any special shampoos they
may need, it's all inclusive. So whatever they need is what they get. - [Woman] Okay, do you do it all? - [Marybeth] Yeah, it's just me. - [Woman] Oh my gosh, what's your name? - [Marybeth] Marybeth. - [Woman] Marybeth, nice to meet you. (faintly speaking) - [Marybeth] That would
probably be the easiest. Just, if I didn't have this
big dog, then I would do it. But yeah, that's probably the easiest way, right now (sighs). - [Woman] Wow, you do
all this by yourself? - [Marybeth] Yes, yeah (sighs). Yeah (sighs). (dog pants) - [Woman] You need a helper. Okay. So let me (faintly speaking). - [Marybeth] Okay. - [Woman] Okay, so if
I go to your website? - [Marybeth] It'll be, on the first page, if you go
down all the way to the bottom I believe it's a yellow
button that says, "Book now." And you'll just click it and it'll take you to my square scheduler. And you'll just put in your information, choose the grooms you want,
and then it'll ask you- - [Woman] Will it be
hard to get three of them all in the same day? - [Marybeth] No, I believe after,
(dog pants) the 13th, I think I have
all of the 15th open. As long as you schedule at nine, you can bring all of
'em in at the same time. And then I can get them
all done the same day. - [Woman] Okay.
- Marybeth] Yup. - [Woman] And that is April, 15th? - [Marybeth] Yes, I believe so. - [Woman] Okay, all right,
sounds good (speaks faintly). (Marybeth laughs) - [Woman] He barely fits in there. - [Marybeth] Yeah, yeah (laughs). - [Woman] Okay, but thank you very much. - [Marybeth] You're welcome. (dog pants) (dryer hums) (time-lapse) All right (breathes deeply). I'm gonna get her in the cage dryer. Come on. (dog paws clink on floor) Yeah. Slow down. (dog pants) Why are your feet sticking out? Why are your (laughs) feet sticking out. (cage clangs) Come on. Oh, come on. Come on girl, come on. There you go. (cage clangs) All right, I'm gonna get her dry, and gonna get her finished. All right, we're gonna
see what this girl weighs. Come here (clicks tongue). Can you sit? All right. 110 pounds. Come on. (dryer blows) Come up here, come on, good girl. (mimics lifting heavy dog) (dog barks) Good girl. (dog barks and whines) You look so much better. (dog continues to bark and whine) (upbeat music time-lapse) (dog barks and whines)
Sit! (dog continues to bark and whine) Sit!
(dog continues to bark) (vacuum rattles) (vacuum hums) All right guys. Here's one of them all finished. Feet and stuff are all trimmed up, and she's ready to go. I didn't have a bandana big enough. So I just put a bow on her. Are you ready to go? What?
(dog whines) What?
(dog continues to whine) What?
(dog grunts) You're so much happier now. Are you ready to go home? I know, you gotta wait though. Come here (pats her leg). You've gotta wait until
your other one's dry. (dog grunts)
What, (chuckles) what? All right, I'm about to get started on the last dog of the day, which is this dog right here. You know, in here. Gonna get them in the bath and then get them in the dryer. And while they're in the dryer, I'm gonna get the other dog, hopefully on the table, if I
can't get them on the table, then I'll do it on the ground. But we're just gonna trim up the feet, trim up the (indistinct), and get out some matting that I saw. There's just two spots that are matted, it's not a big deal. It's easy to cut out. And then, you know, we'll
clean up for the day, and that'll be it. (upbeat music) Okay, so you will notice on this dewclaw back here, the skin. That is because it just
hasn't been washed, enough, and so it's finally shedding that skin. I don't see this on a lot of dogs, but I do see it occasionally. We're just gonna wipe that off, and check the other one, and it's fine. (lighthearted music) Okay (breathes deeply). This dog's tail is in really bad shape. I really don't want to cut it. So I've been trying to rake this out. But, it's just... There's just so much. Like here's another mat. Right here. (chair scuffs) (brush rustles against table) (upbeat music) (upbeat music continues) All right guys. I mean, that is basically it. Like, grooming is not easy. It's not easy by any means. It's very labor intensive. I don't care who you are or what you say. Grooming is very, very labor intensive. You know, picking up the
dogs, lifting the legs up. Like nobody thinks about that. Even when we lift the legs up, like that dog is trying
to put the leg down. So it's still work. But yeah, that's a full day of grooming. Again, there's some hair
that's left on the floor. I'll come in in the morning and vacuum. By the end of the day guys, I'm exhausted. Like I'm ready to go home
and relax because it's... Yeah, I've had breaks here and there while the dogs are drying, but while you're actively
grooming, it's tiring. It is tiring. So yeah. I mean, that's it, you know,
the dogs are just chilling, waiting for their owner to get here. And, yeah. Thanks guys for watching. I hope you guys enjoyed this. If you guys would like this
type of video, let me know. It is a lot more recording
and more editing, but it gives you guys a full days look at an actual grooming day. Don't forget to check
out the links down below. We are still doing the Outreach, Oklahoma Humanitarian Relief Team. The website and the Amazon
wishlists are down below. My Amazon storefront is also down below for anything that I use, it's on there. And yeah, I'll see you guys next time.
