Scrub the bottom of the basket with a brush, lysol or the like to disinfect, rinse and sun dry. Even if stained I'll be clean. You can even paint the stain with a matching color. Good as new ❤
I had a similar thought about painting the basket except maybe just paint the stained part after it's clean, then decorate the rest of the basket with whatever theme you like or leave it plain. Baskets are so nice and versatile to use for baby showers, bday or christmas.. They are also great for house warming when a friend moves I to a new place. You could even put a kit together with supplies to make the basket look great, then sell it for 35.00 or more to cover your cost for any supplies you might add. Have fun!
Basket cleaning 101- scrub brush with a little all purpose cleaner then quickly rinse with warm water, shake out as much water place in sun to dry, you could also paint just that part of the basket a nice color.
Warm water and a gentle scrub with a brush should fix it up just right. I would also add a cap of bleach to get the black off of the inside bottom. Let it soak for an hour use a dish soap. Wicker likes water a bit it can shrink stretch wicker and help to stop breakage. That's a really cute basket. I'd also let it dry in the sun for an hour. I love your videos and anyone can clean just about anything. If its already ruined washing something will either fix it or ruin it completely. I've had good luck cleaning things that most people won't try to clean. Keep on tugging.
Use white vinegar to clean mold off that basket. Let it sit on there for a few minutes before wiping off. Vinegar is great for mold and lime build up and other cleaning things!
Vinegar is great for so many things, I clean mainly with vinegar in water. I used vinegar on the bedroom wall where there was mold, and it has not come back.
Love vinegar, drop it in the water for mopping inside/outside, the bathrooms and all the sinks in the house, also in the washing machine and give it a spin. It’s really good for everything.
You stated, "the dumpsters do provide ". Yes they do. I went out dumpster diving yesterday. First time in a month. I found loads of stuff including, clothes, towels, sheets, slippers for me, a sock and a house for my monkey. I am pleased with it all. Most will get donated, some will sell, the rest is for me and my monkey Legend.
With the basket, don't soak - you can use dish soap, a soft scrub brush and wash off thoroughly with water. Let dry thoroughly outside. However, if there is mold or the stains are stubborn, I've used oxyclean or diluted bleach, scrubbed with soft brush, wash off thoroughly with water, and let dry outside.
Yesterday I found two Sterilite drawer sets, a laundry hamper, and a small trash can at an apartment dumpster. I also found a cane in the middle of the street, which just needs tin snips and some red paint to be perfect. The retail stores' dumpsters were all locked because we have a problem with illegal dumping here.
Oh and yes the dumpsters do provide. It’s like Angels make sure things you need and want get left. It also happens at thrift stores and when your curb surfing. Every time I have needed or wanted something it would be there waiting for me. I have many amazing stories ( testimonies) about that. God really is so good. He blesses y’all because you bless others. 🐈⬛ Leslye
The "lovely", decorative vase with feathers would make an awesome Halloween decoration!! 😅 I appreciate the heck outta yall!! Big ol hugs and love from MamaJane in South Carolina
There’s a product from back in the day called, “Murphy’s Oil Soap” used to clean wood. You could try some on that pretty basket. You two are always so upbeat no matter the size of the haul. 😁
Have you guys ever thought about street scrapping? People have collection days for household goods etc and quite often there are lots of things that could be sold on. Would need to check that it is legal in your area and as long as you keep pile neat should be ok. Just a thought.
The angel looks like the several that my Mom had throughout her house and garden. Angels are always a sweet find and I’m glad you guys rescued it. My sister laughed at the ones she took that you can see their booties. 😂The apples were a great find too!! Thanks for everything you two do to make the world a better place!! ❤
Hose it down the bottom and leave it out in the sun to dry out or brush the bottom with clean brush . Love you two. I enjoy you videos always looking out for them.
All I found yesterday while diving and curbside hunting was some bubblewrap. Sometimes that happens. Bones will fight you over that feathered plant. LOL!
The clear tote with the side opening can be used as a travel litter box for cats! That’s what we use, keeps the litter more contained then an open litter box, can also be used for a dog crate for nighttime 😊
All that depends on how big it is. I maybe wrong but looking at it, it really doesn’t seem that big. I’ve bins similar to that w/the drop front and they’re shoe boxes. I keep all my high heels in the big one and my flats in the smaller. Keeps the dust away. Idk abt putting my fur babies in them.
I've made many baskets by hand. Reed is soaked in water to make it pliable to allow it to be bent to construct the basket. Therefore, cleaning a basket is a simple matter. First brush it as clean as possible, failing that, wash it. If the color runs, then allow the color to change as evenly as possible, or bleach to remove the color completely. Bleach works to remove mildew and mold as well. To restore a finish to the basket clean up any rough places or splintered reed, then apply finish. I used walnut shells boiled to desired color and applied it as any other stain. Dry it well, stained or left plain.
To wash the basket use warm water and lemon juice and stiff brush and dry out in the sun. If that doesn’t get out the stain the use warm water and dawn dish soap only on the bottom sun dry.
I’m always happy when I see you’ve posted a new video! Big haul’s or small I’m so happy to go along with you both. And Bones is always a great addition to your posts 🥰🐾🐾
Hi Kelly and Alex, I enjoyed your video. It doesn’t matter even if you didn’t find anything. I always enjoy your guys attitude. You always make me smile you guys are just purely awesome. Love you guys have a wonderful day. God bless.♥️💕❤️🙏🙏🙏👍✌️😇
I and my sister use to go dumpster diving and trash day we would go to the higher more pricy side of town and they would put stuff on the curb. We got some all wood furniture to redo and sell
Hi! Im fro the UK. It amazes me how much is not recycled in your State/Country. We have to separate (and wash) plastics, glass, metals, tetra pak and cardboards into sepatate bins. We use food waste caddies and a tall bin for the rest. We also have garden waste bins. If you dare to put the wrong items in your bins or dont recycle properly they wont take them away. Love youre trying to make a difference where you are.
To clean a basket wipe over with a dry microfiber cloth then hover with curtain attachment, then use a damp microfiber cloth (mix water with white vinegar use a soft tooth brush or bottle brush for under edges) once dry run over with again with dry cloth then hover again then finish off wiping over with water and lemon juice.
I haven't seen any videos for about two weeks, hope y'all are doing ok. I really love watching you both and look forward to seeing the dumpster dives...❤️🤗🙏☮️
I needed to seen something fun. I broke my ankle today. I have psoriatic arthritis so my ankles are very damaged. I sprained my right ankle just suddenly. I was only walking in my house. So then I put my left foot down to catch my fall and my left ankle collapsed. And there I was on the floor. I’m Just in lots of pain. Still can’t believe it happened. One second i am fine the next I can’t walk. God is good he will help me get through this. Hoping to watch y’all having fun and get my mind off something besides what happened today and the pain. Y’all take care! Happy diving ! Lol ! ;” Move in on “Kelly you have made that catch phrase fun. God bless y’all ! Leslye
They have big yard sales I believe every year! They recently had one and sold $6??.00 worth. Her prices were so so cheap. They wanted to get rid to make room in the garage.
Hi, yes i've watched all their videos, what's left over from the yard sales they leave on the kerb side for free 😀 it's great what they do for the local community as they give to the food bank etc...@@judylagasse3135
That feathery thing on a pedestal, you could set that out for Halloween and put some mirrored glasses on it, and it could be "Thing" from the Munsters!!!! Hi Bones!!! =^..^= 😻
The box with a door on the side can be a litter box hide a way for Bones. Just put his litter box in it for extra privacy. It is see through but you can cover it with pretty paper, shelf liner, etc. The white plastic tub you called it a wash thing is a baby bathtub. No insert needed. Some cool finds!
Hi Kelly Alex & sweet Bones!! Nice diving!! The cabinet with the light may have been a curio cabinet. Love the angel & the basket!! I'm sure the basket can be cleaned up!! Y'all take care!! ☺️
My prayers are with you I know how you feel. I've been that way for the last three months but my heart is with you and you guys are such a great team to look forward to every day you make my day, and I have all my prayers and hearts with you.💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
i use soda, the powdered stuff, and water but not a lot. it soaks up the smell of mold, for baskets. also water and some vinegar, which kills the mold pretty well, and the basket will be nice. if it bleaches out, use coffee water to dye it back and let it dry in the sun.
Love to watch you. You both have such a cheerful outlook. Have you considered picking from street pickups like the Texas Picker? He finds some really good stuff
Hope yall are okay!!! Haven't seen you on a few days... everything okay?? We love yall!! Holler if I can do anything!!! Big ol hugs and love from MamaJane in South Carolina
i love how you speak to one another with respect never snappy , please and thankyou manners with each ther is one thing that doesnt always stay in a relationship, but i think is key
Scrub the bottom of the basket with a brush, lysol or the like to disinfect, rinse and sun dry. Even if stained I'll be clean. You can even paint the stain with a matching color. Good as new ❤
It may have had a house plant in it. Your idea will work great.
I would spray with Dawn power wash it will clean it
The whole basket can be sprayed after its washed and dried throughly!
Love the "museum" vase 😊

That feather thing would look so cool with someone goth style display. I can see it on a shelf with animal skulls or something.
Hi ! The doll is a Monster High doll ! My daughter collects them . Can be cleaned up . There is definitely collectors looking for that doll !
Yes, those dolls can be collectible! I have a Draculaura one. 🧛🏻♀️
Basket cleaning 101- scrub brush with a little all purpose cleaner then quickly rinse with warm water, shake out as much water place in sun to dry, you could also paint just that part of the basket a nice color.
The whole basket could be spray painted
For the mildew on that basket, you can spray "Mold Armour " on the areas and it dissapears in 5 min!
Keep laughing! That is what keeps a marriage together! I love your channel.!

When you pulled out the belt got me to thinking you ever found snakes/ animals even humans in the bins lol x
Raccoons and birds mainly

the vase with the black feathers would be good for Halloween!

I think the lighted case is to display a museum quality green vase!
Small but good stuff. That vase would look great next to your fire place. It's stunning.
Yes, next to a fireplace

Little feather Xmas trees are back in this yr. I have a bunch of guinea bird feathers gonna make one✌🌻
You guys have inspired me...I found about 6 items just going to apartment dumpsters and driving around ❤
Way to go! That’s awesome 🎉
You found so many goodies in this video...the plastic container you found that opens up in the front is actually made to hold a pair of shoes.
There’s a product from back in the day called, “Murphy’s Oil Soap” used to clean wood. You could try some on that pretty basket. You two are always so upbeat no matter the size of the haul. 😁
They still make it lol we use it for cleaning our kitchen cabinets 😁..
I knew that would come out wrong! It’s from back in the day BUT still available today!
@@nantzlynn77 no I thought it was funny 😂
You’re too kind, thank you!
I use it too! Air dry in the sun also disinfect it!
Having withdrawals 😂🎉🎉😂 waiting on your next dumpster adventure. 😊 Hurry back soon! 😊
That big vase was a unique vase and the small one was sure different.
Have you guys ever thought about street scrapping? People have collection days for household goods etc and quite often there are lots of things that could be sold on. Would need to check that it is legal in your area and as long as you keep pile neat should be ok. Just a thought.
Those feathers in that vase make a greatHalloween decor.
I like very much how you take the time to separate the recyclables! You guys are awesome!
Any couple that can make each other laugh as much as you two do, will have many fun days together! ❤
The angel looks like the several that my Mom had throughout her house and garden. Angels are always a sweet find and I’m glad you guys rescued it. My sister laughed at the ones she took that you can see their booties. 😂The apples were a great find too!! Thanks for everything you two do to make the world a better place!! ❤
Hose it down the bottom and leave it out in the sun to dry out or brush the bottom with clean brush . Love you two. I enjoy you videos always looking out for them.
Wow that is really amazing
Scrub the whole basket in a cleaning solution Air dry thoroughly, then you could spray paint it if not pleased with it!
All I found yesterday while diving and curbside hunting was some bubblewrap. Sometimes that happens. Bones will fight you over that feathered plant. LOL!

After you clean basket you could spray paint it or stain it ❤
I like watching you because you're always happy
That basket is beautiful. It may have had a plant in it. Wash with the hose a a bush. I bet it will be awesome.
I was trying to take a drink when you found the museum quality vase of stones and I nearly sprayed my drink across the room!!!! 😊😊😊😊😊
It amazes me when you find jewelry in the dumpster!
Hello guys!
So good to see you out saving good items that people can use, from the landfill. You're awesome people!
Hi Kelly and Alex, I enjoyed your video. It doesn’t matter even if you didn’t find anything. I always enjoy your guys attitude. You always make me smile you guys are just purely awesome. Love you guys have a wonderful day. God bless.♥️💕❤️🙏🙏🙏👍✌️😇
You can actually just wash the basket in the sink. They are washable with just soap and water. Keep up the videos, love you guys.
I and my sister use to go dumpster diving and trash day we would go to the higher more pricy side of town and they would put stuff on the curb. We got some all wood furniture to redo and sell
missing your fun adventures. hope you are both well
cleaning the basket, spray non bleach cleaner on it, scrub it in with a brush or sponge and spray down with hose or even rince in sink :)
You guys are so good to pick up trash around the dumpsters.
Hi! Im fro the UK. It amazes me how much is not recycled in your State/Country. We have to separate (and wash) plastics, glass, metals, tetra pak and cardboards into sepatate bins.

Love youre trying to make a difference where you are.
I'm in Texas too and it just depends on the area. A lot of Texas DOES recycle. We do in our neighborhood and I'm outside of Houston.
To clean a basket wipe over with a dry microfiber cloth then hover with curtain attachment, then use a damp microfiber cloth (mix water with white vinegar use a soft tooth brush or bottle brush for under edges) once dry run over with again with dry cloth then hover again then finish off wiping over with water and lemon juice.
I liked the chair...perfect for the kitchen to perch on while monitoring the stove or chopping veg.
living vicariously through you and your dumpster diving...
Me too!
I love when it’s my day off from work and I see a new upload from y’all! 🥰
That vase is beautiful
I haven't seen any videos for about two weeks, hope y'all are doing ok. I really love watching you both and look forward to seeing the dumpster dives...❤️🤗🙏☮️
Is so nice of ur boo to help u ❤

Y’all take care! Happy diving ! Lol ! ;” Move in on “Kelly you have made that catch phrase fun. God bless y’all ! Leslye
Hope everything is ok. Haven't heard much from y'all since your last video almost 10 days ago I think it was. Prayers n hugs ❤️ ❤️
Use that small, black, feathery vase as a Halloween decoration. Perfect!
Love that vase
The basket was unique! God bless the both of you! Enjoy your videos! Thank you for sharing!c😮🎉❤
All that hard work you guys do, digging in dirty garbage dumpsters, and all you do is practically give it away at your yard sales
I just love the Vase and the Cherub they look expensive i would keep them for myself, everything else can go to charity, some nice finds today 😄👍
They have big yard sales I believe every year! They recently had one and sold $6??.00 worth. Her prices were so so cheap. They wanted to get rid to make room in the garage.
Hi, yes i've watched all their videos, what's left over from the yard sales they leave on the kerb side for free 😀 it's great what they do for the local community as they give to the food bank etc...@@judylagasse3135
College clean outs are the best. Or retail dumpsters. Happy picking guys you are a great team. Enjoy your content. Thanks!!
Love y'all's work ethics .......what a blessing you are !
That basket would look lovely on the porch with some flowers or strawberries growing in it 🥰
Hope all is well with you guys😊 Missin your videos and smiles😊😊
I'm amazed that the recycling bug has hit Texas Finally ! In Competition , CA we recycle almost everything ❤❗
Where did competion come from😜I typed Compton , CA .
I don't think their in Texas
I love how you guys have your “diving t shirts” that get cycled through each video. This yellow one is my fave! ❤
I would have made a planter box out of the bookshelf with the light in it. Nice finds.
I think originally it may have been a China cabinet
That feathery thing on a pedestal, you could set that out for Halloween and put some mirrored glasses on it, and it could be "Thing" from the Munsters!!!!
Hi Bones!!! =^..^= 😻
You could always spray paint the awesome basket if the wash doesn't work!My aunt use to paint baskets gold red and silver for Christmas gifts!
Love the basket! Very unique! Good score!
Funny, I have a basket exactly like that one. I put a pothos plant in mine
That pretty plant would look nice in the green vase. Love y'all ❤️
Hi you had some nice finds today well done❤😊
The box with a door on the side can be a litter box hide a way for Bones. Just put his litter box in it for extra privacy. It is see through but you can cover it with pretty paper, shelf liner, etc. The white plastic tub you called it a wash thing is a baby bathtub. No insert needed. Some cool finds!
Love the museum vase! Hope you could save that basket. 😊
I used baking soda made into a paste...put on thickly(after washing basket)leave for a few days ...wash off...worked for me...
Hi Kelly Alex & sweet Bones!! Nice diving!! The cabinet with the light may have been a curio cabinet. Love the angel & the basket!! I'm sure the basket can be cleaned up!! Y'all take care!! ☺️
I had a hutch with a light in it exactly like that light bulb.
gosh i would love the angel for my garden! can't believe someone threw those apples away; apples are expensive to buy here.
You can totally put baskets in the dishwasher!!! I’ve totally done it with ones from goodwill and then just let air dry. :)
Totally!
It’s a cool job you both have together dumpster diving.
Some good finds today...enjoyed hanging out with you guys ...🥰🥰
My prayers are with you I know how you feel. I've been that way for the last three months but my heart is with you and you guys are such a great team to look forward to every day you make my day, and I have all my prayers and hearts with you.💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Always great content & positive vibes. ☺️❤️🥰
Omg Alex, that toilet paper roll though! 😂 That museum vase is awesome! You guys found some good things. ☺
A bit of detergent (or borax) and a little brushing should clean that lovely and unique basket up nicely. Take good care.
Luv the basket I would have taken and cleaned also
i use soda, the powdered stuff, and water but not a lot. it soaks up the smell of mold, for baskets. also water and some vinegar, which kills the mold pretty well, and the basket will be nice. if it bleaches out, use coffee water to dye it back and let it dry in the sun.
Baking soda it;s called in vinegar may help
Hi kelly and alex awesome video as usual all the best to you both give bones a cuddle from me 🐈⬛❤
Love to watch you. You both have such a cheerful outlook. Have you considered picking from street pickups like the Texas Picker? He finds some really good stuff
Hello from the UK , just so you know cats love baskets, I have 3 cats , that also love boxes , and bags , love what you do.
iF you can sew or know anyone that can,you can make a fabric lining for that basket..It would be super cute.
A fabric liner would be nice, also a doily inside and it coming out over the basket some would also look nice
@@judylagasse3135 yea it would
Happy Monday 😊 and We love your video ❤. Awesome score ❤ and Have a Amazing Day today ❤.
