Please don't use essential oils on your TP rolls. It goes through the cardboard into the paper. Most, if not all, essential oils aren't safe to use/contact lady bits. It's a good way to give yourself chemical burn or open you up for infections (because potential pH changes)
What cream do you use and what do you use to clean it off? I grew up in the foster system and was never really taught clean hacks. I want to know details please
Tip: before putting the paper towel soaked in bleach, on the molding strip, soak a paper towel with any type of vinegar, for 4 hours. I use apple cider vinegar. Mold is a fungus, and vinegar is a fungicide. Bleach only whitens the black, or any colored mold, where as the vinegar kills the mold.
The black light hack is great. This also works if you have kids who don't always wash their hands well enough, and flip the light switch in the bathroom when they leave. With the light off, shine the black light on the switch, door handle, sink or any other surface. Just a bonus, you can use it to find pee stains from your pets as well. If you smell animal urine, but can't quite find it, try this. At night, shut all your lights off and begin at one end of the house and shine the black light on every surface. Corners of closets, under the bed, or along the baseboards are especially prone.
Yeah, I used a blacklight when my poor boy kitty had kidney disease and was using the floor for his bathroom instead of kitty box. Helped me find everywhere to clean.
The wall cleaner, only use on at the very least semi-gloss paint. Flat will likely stain…from the wife of a house painter. Great tips, thanks for sharing
I use to be a waitress & we cut lemon wedges for ice tea or water. I asked if I could keep all the end pieces for my garbage disposal & a coworker told me I could freeze them so they doubled as a cleaner & helps to sharpen the blades. It worked great 😉
@@thetunefulteacher3629 most latex paints are washable, except flat paint. But now there's high acrylic flat latex paint that is washable, it's expensive though.
@@thetunefulteacher3629 it's not something you want to do every week, but twice a year is usually fine. Don't wet mop, damp mop. Places that need cleaned more frequently (kitchen and bath) you typically want to use a satin paint which can hold up to more frequent washings.
I like to start running the blades immediately before throwing the lemon and ice down. This way it catches in the blades. Otherwise a lot just falls and doesn’t get touched.
To be fair about the bathroom, you’re not eating off your bathroom floor or your toilet. I think as long as it looks and smells clean, you can relax. You’d literally have to clean after every use if you’re going to black light check it.
I help my boss clean her vacation rentals and she tells everyone "when Laura's finished cleaning a bathroom, you could literally have sex all over the bathroom and on the bathroom floor with complete peace of mind." Lol. I just clean them the way I WISH other people would clean AirBnB and hotel bathrooms! I don't want to see the previous guests pube hair ANYWHERE! And the base of the toilet better not have dust and hairs and dirt built up on it and clean under the rim of the toilet, for goodness sake! And last but not least, clean the mirror and then use your cloth with window cleaner on it to shine all the faucets, handles, spouts, etc. Makes a difference for the overall look of the bathroom. Shiny looks cleaner, always! And it only takes like 2 minutes!
No need to tuck the fitted sheet inside itself if you’re putting the set away....fold the fitted (the same way as shown) and flat sheets to the same size and place inside the pillow case and fold the pillowcase flap underneath. The entire set is folded and put away together, looks much neater when put away and is easier to grab.
You can then store those together and pillow cases separately. I find with kids and mouth droolers lol I sometimes need to change pillow cases before the sheets need to be changed so this works better for me.
It also works to fold your flat sheet in a square and place in the middle as you complete the fitted sheet so they are folded together. You can then put that in to a pillow case and fold to how you like (small square or big). Typically I put one pillow case folded on top of the flat sheet that is folded inside the fitted sheet, fold, put in the 2nd pillow case and voila an entire bed change is neatly folded and all together. The other way is to only place flat sheet inside the fitted and fold it like in your video. You can
The cotton rope (like they use for perms and pedicures) works awesome for grout. I moved into a place and the shower had mildew all over. You dip the rope into the bleach -don't wring it out, and place it in the cracks. Leave it overnight. Literally toss the cotton and rinse! Best hack ever!!! This was a normal plastic type shower stall. No grout and no fancy materials.
Use the dawn power wash on your tires. Melts the dirt right off. Spray it on let it set 2-3 minutes you’ll see it turn brown and then spray off with water hose.
That Dawn Powerwash works for everything & anything! My daughter moved out of her place & she cleaned the entire place (walls, mirrors, ceilings, doors, etc.) with just clean microfiber wipes & Dawn powerspray. I'm no longer purchasing any multipurpose cleaning sprays - I found my favorite!
@@RachPlusFive yes, I do too. So far, I haven't had to use a multi purpose cleaner bc Dawn cleans so well but I do have to go with a damp rag during a mirror cleaning. I just found your channel today & I can't wait to catch up with your videos. You have such great & helpful tips. Thank you.
Thank you for the video! On my shower I use dawn and baking soda with a magic easer! I works nicely after it sets awhile just the magic eraser. Yes, I would enjoy more videos on testing the hacks!
I use the brush with soap in my shower. It absolutely works but I only use dish soap. The dish soap on the mirror works. It was a trick my bf used on his hockey masks so they don't fog up.

Hello, thank you for your channel. I would urge you not to use Tide Powder - or any other laundry detergent - for household cleaning. It contains enzymes which are meant for cleaning clothing in the closed washing machine system. They are not meant for mopping your floor and going into the air for you and your children to breathe. This can lead to enzyme sensitization and even eventual asthma. Please take this seriously, and if you would like confirmation, please call Consumer Support at any of the detergent manufacturers. Thanks.
@@YarsRevenge67 no doubt. I always do a combination of rinsing with her technique, and breaking down the pitcher to actually dip everything in soapy water and drying.
The dryer sheet is supposed to be already used. All the product itself is used up, but the finely abrasive texture of the uncoated sheet is what helps with the soap scum. Try it again when you have a used sheet available, it's surprisingly effective!
I'm a new subscriber! Love your content! The water and fabric softener hack we do here too. I also lightly spritz it on my couch and curtains and sheets and comforters too!
I’m so glad I found your channel. You are “real” and not a TH-camr that tries too hard to be professional and liked. You are just like the majority of us and seem like more of a friend giving some advice. I just joined your channel because I really like you and how u test these things out! Thanks!!! 😀
Florida Girl you look so much like me it's unreal. I subscribed to your channel an commented on the only video I could. I'm from Alabama. Not selling or wanting anything just amazed at your picture lol
@@rachelbrown8127 oh wow!!!! This is crazy!!! Will u send me a pic of u that I can see better? All I can see is the small one but yes we look alike! It’s awesome! Maybe we are related somehow or some people say that everyone has a twin out there somewhere. Who know?! That could be us! I’m so interested in knowing more about u!! I hope I hear Bach from u!! Have a great night!
I feel the same way! I love watching your channel. You always get straight to it. No stupid long back story but best of all, you look and dress like normal people do when cleaning the house. Thanks for all the hacks! Most of all thanks for being real!!
I never use chemicals in my bathroom. I use Hydrogen peroxide mixed with 1/4 of water and a few drops of essential oils. Personally I put a few squirts of this Sandlewood cleaner to give it a nice scent. And for the bathtub I use baking soda and vinegar.
Wow that’s awesome with the dawn on the mirror. It always annoys me that my mirror is fogged up after a shower, ‘cause that’s when I need to use the mirror.
The blender hack is great, but there is a ring inside the base where the top seals. If you don’t pull that out and clean and the crevice, you will have mold in there.
Ice does not sharpen disposal blades, nothing does unless you take them out and sharpen them like kitchen knives. Using any blade on any type of material only dulls it. But ice does help clean food off the blades.
Sadly, I did learn this shortly after posting the video. 😕 It’s nice to get the food off so nothing is sticking to the blades but I wish there was an easier way to sharpen.
Old fashioned shaving cream (Not gel) on the mirror the same way as the dawn power wash does the same thing and a $1 can will do your mirror multiple times
Hi, I just found you and love your authenticity.I can tell you are not trendy with your advice. I think you know some other lifestyle influencers are all about the wrong attention. Thanks 👍
I enjoy your videos. I usually keep my opinions to myself because antisocial media is a bad place for opinions. But the one opinion I will share is that this is a great compilation of tips…doable or not, effective or TikTok trash…great to see and hear about.
Looks like im gonna be sticking up on my favorites fabric softner and im gonna clean the walls and everything. Clean linen is my favorite smell id love my house smelling like clean laundry.Thanks for the goid hacks
hi, housekeeper here. looking at your toilet lol i just wanna say pumice stone will remove that black under the bowl on inside. promise. not a hack, just a fact lol
I'd highly suggest not using a bleach cleaner on caulking or silicone like above the sink. Definitely don't let it sit. It'll break it down and you'll have to redo. Use baking soda or rubbing alcohol but don't let alcohol sit long either.
@@gracekelehar4014 maybe my comment will help those who don't know. I did construction work for 8 years. Most people don't know not to use bleach cleaners on caulk. Also white vinegar is better for the life of grout as well.
I have a better hack than toilet cleaner for grout!Plus, NO BLEACH! The grout in my apt was SO gross and the seal had long worn off so I was constantly scrubbing it bc the white would get dingy so fast. I'd scrub it w bleach so much I was wearing away the grout. Tried the toilet cleaner trick but it takes forever to wipe up and you don't want kids or pets touching the residue on counters or floors! The alternative is mixing hydrogen peroxide and baking soda (ya I thought the same this bs isn't going to work) and smear it into your grout lines. Actually what I do now is just sprinkle some baking soda w a teaspoon, use the spoon back to push it in the grout lines and spray hydrogen peroxide over top. I've done both thy both work. The important part is to LET IT DRY! Not only does this disinfect but it whitens/brightens (even my tan floor grout) BEYOND BELIEF. I was using a heavy duty stiff grout brush before w/ bleach and a lottt of elbow grease. With the H2O2+baking soda, once dry rehydrate it with water (I like to use more H2O2) and a light scrub w a reg toothbrush is all you need. Wipe away and be amazed. Even if you leave a trace it's not a chemical like bleach. Def seal your grout after you do this and you'll save yourself a lot of time cleaning later.
Also I’ve been doing a faster method of my orig hydrogen peroxide/baking soda hack-just sprinkle some baking soda all over and spray w H2O2 (most nozzles fit right in the bottle). Using a scrub brush, brush into grout lines (no need to scrub you’re just getting it over/into the grout). Let dry…this is when the magic happen! Spray again w water (or more H2O2 for extra cleaning power), scrub to loosen w/ a scrub or toothbrush and wipe w/ a clean rag. Much more efficient and uses less product than my orig method.
The fabric softener in a spray bottle thing is very bad to do, it's waxy so it draws dust and aerosolized fabric softener is a breathing problem, especially eith kids and pets, it's not meant to be sprayed in the air or onto a cloth because it's then airborne
I did the fabric softener on my walls, because I heard it's supposed to repel dust. I used the fabulouso antibacterial to clean them then went back over my walls and pictures with the fabric softener and water mix. My livingroom smells so good and the scent has lasted. I don't know about the dust repellent yet, I gotta wait and see. I pray it does though.
@@RachPlusFive We live in an older house and the dust is just horrendous for some reason. I forgot to mention I vacuumed my walls first lol. That's how dusty it gets. If you know of any dust repellents or ways to eliminate dust to a minimum I would love to hear any tips.
It’s going to sound weird but it helps… Get a can of Endust. Spray it either onto the wall or on a mop or duster and wipe down the walls. It should remove all of the dust and repel dust.
I love your channel. I appreciate that you try these hacks for us so we don't have to take the time just to find out they don't work. I am obsessed with making sure my toilet and all the splatters are cleaned, it grosses me out to think of pee splatter all over the place 😬🤢
At restaurant i used work at we would put ice and salt and lemon 🍋 peices or juice in glass coffee pot shake it around and dump rinse it would make the glass stains gone
You only need boiling hot water and 2 microfiber cloths one for cleaning and one for drying rubber gloves and a little multipurpose spray and it cleanes absolutely brilliantly Spray the area with cleaner wipe clean with the hot microfiber cloth that you dipped in boiling hot water and then dry with the other cloth
I have been in the cleaning business for over 20 years if you have wood floors please only use approved chemical and cleaners for wood or you can damage them easily any other type of flooring material it can be used
It can be done. I’ve been doing similar (not folding into itself though, that was a little different but interesting and I’m gonna have to try) anyway I told our king size sheets similar and I’ve only got one arm! So if I can do it anyone can 😉
Fitted sheet folding ... laying it on the bed and working that way seemed a little extra. Hold up with hands in wrong side out corners of top and bottom. Tuck top into bottom end, then tuck side corner to side corner. Trifold then fold in and tuck into elastic.
To clean my grout i just use magic erasers. They work GREAT! Floors look brand new afterwards and it wont destroy your grout. Bonus: if u save all the old pieces from other jobs and if u wear dish washing gloves u can use those leftover pieces all the way down to a crumb. So theres no waste. Everytime i do this people walk in and ask if i got new flooring put in. Its awesome! & i hate cleaning.
Another hack for your tile grout. Take a steamer that has one of those pen or needle tips (sorry not sure what the nozzle is called) but take that and apply it over your grout. Holy Cow it cleans it amazingly
Also Oxygen Bleach works awesome for grout but I'd use Oxy-Boost, or Biokleen's Oxygen Bleach over Oxyclean as Oxyclean is full of fillers. It needs to be dissolved in #HOT water. You can apply once it's cool but the powder won't disolve all the way unless the water is HOT! Let it soak for a few mins and the scrub.
My carpenter friend said grout goes bad over time no matter what you do and needs replaced. No way around that. Just pull out/replace. If mirror is fogging put fan on. If it doesn't disappear, do a fan check. 1 sheet of tp throw it up towards fan. If it falls. Bad fan. 1st clean it really well, try again. If it falls, replace fan. That is imp to keep bathroom mold free. Don't underestimate a working fan in b/r! Or u might be ripping bathroom apart bc of mold in corners and damaging walls/,floors. Get best fan u can afford. More power is best
@@RachPlusFive I never gave a thought about fans either. He checked my fan. Dead. And replaced with better than what u need for space. I never get a fogged mirror now. Best way to clean fan is vacuum. He has redone lots of bathrooms.
My parents' house was built in the '50s and doesn't have fans in any of the bathrooms. I would have loved to know the mirror hack back then. I hated showering there or using the bathroom after anyone else did #2...
I have to share, when my two boys were about 7 and 8 years old we use the black light on the toilet seat. I was adamant that they were splashing everywhere , but they denied it . So when we got close up it looked like the night sky, endless glowing stars in a deep layer. We all screamed and jumped back in horror. The kids are adults now but they still pee sitting down 🤣🤣
That’s good to know because I was going to randomly try that this weekend for my daughter. She complained yesterday that he glasses kept fogging all week.
Question: Does this mess up the sealant on your glasses? I have been told to never wash my glasses with soaps, harsh cloths or warm water. I have ruined a pair of glasses in the past by using commercial soap products. Now I use the products made especially for eye glasses. Just a question… please consult your optometrist as my mistake was expensive to repair. 😌
With my sheets I fold everything inside out that way when you make your bed it's all you have to do is find the first corner and start, I also fold the fitted flat and pillow case all together and put in in the other one so the whole set don't get lost.
I'm going to try the fabric softener + water trick for washing walls. We have four big stinky dogs who love to lay against the walls around the house. From your demonstration, it looks like this concoction could be a winner! Thank you!
You are using the fabric softener to spot clean walls...could this be used to clean walls top to bottom? Maybe in a bucket of water? I usually do that with a new sponge mop from Dollar Tree.
@@RachPlusFive thank you so much for the quick response. My mom is in the process of buying a house that has been shut up for quite awhile so it has that musty smell. I thought that might kill 2 birds with 1 stone. Thanks 😊
Recently found ur videos n now Im a fan lol. Not sure if u know this or have tried but... A hack that I learned years ago with my sheets. Neatly fold the sheets plus 1 pillowcase n stack then place ur stack inside the remaining pillowcase. Fold the excess over then u have a full set inside 1 pillowcase. They stack neater n the set is all 2gthr 😊 I hope that makes sense. I clean houses so I can't wait 2 try a few of these hacks! Thanks!
Thank you! I’ve tried that hack and it’s actually how I mainly store ours. It’s easier when the kids need new sheets just grab the one pillowcase and they’ve got everything they need. 😊
Can anyone tell me how to get the grout clean in my walk in shower? I tried a steamer and it didn’t work to get rid of the mold. I live in Florida and it seems like everything gets moldy here. I’m from Vegas where everything is dry and I don’t deal with all this humidity. But for some reason I can’t get the grout to look nice and the mold coloring to go away. Can anyone give me some good advice on how to get rid of it and make it look nice?? Thanks so much!!
I purchased a bathroom mirror for a half bath, and it has a weird fog appearance to the top and bottom. Windex didn't remove it, alcohol did not, so I tried the shaving cream hack. BIG mistake. Fog appearance spread all over mirror. 😫
I was taught two very important things about bleach : 1. NEVER mix bleach with another product. If your product is acidic it makes a toxic fumes. Which you breath in and your kids breath and your pets... Don't do it. 2. Bleach kills bacteria when diluted with COLD water. The colder the better. We put hot or warm water with soap to help with oily stuff, but really putting warm or hot water with bleach makes it ineffective. Also, so many hacks use baking soda and vinegar together because it makes a nice foamy thing and you think that stuff is doing something. In reality you are putting an acid on a base wich turn the whole thing neutral. Like water. Basically you are using 2 very useful products and turning them into water. Just use really hot water, add vinegar with dish soap to degrease, it is more effective. Maybe less nice to look at on TH-cam though
I have done some of the hacks you have in the past. One thing I would like to share is softener/water on spray bottle, you can spray them in your pillow case / cover sheet and let it dry for couple minutes before you lay your head and you will feel so clean going to bed, also if you iron your clothes use them to get the wrinkle out and it smells good afterward. Been doing this since I was 12, learned it from my Grandma.
New Subbie. Thanks for sharing all of the cleaning hacks. I've been folding my fitted sheets like that for decades, minus the fold pocket at the end. I love the wall cleaning hack you shared. Genius! Great video.
Remember to clean cold air return vents and hot air vents. Vacuum vents first and between cleaning. The furnace area where the filter goes. Window screens should be washed, I also vacuum them during good weather. Between cleaning.
I just posted with a question about the floor cleaner. I watched it again and it says to mix with water. I should have watched it again before asking! 🙄
Love the essential oil on the toilet paper roll cardboard. However disclaimer** Do not put too much it will sip through the cardboard and will end on your tissue. Someone will end up with a very fresh and minty bottom! 😂 😆 and everyone might have a big laugh out of it!
9:10 also remove the rubber stopper from the sink of the garbage disposal and clean it. It should just pop out and the you just push it back down when you are done cleaning it, there should be a lip inside the drain it sits on.
I did not know that you could do that with a blender! I've hated using the blender this whole time because I hate cleaning it. I will try to like my blender again. Thank you! 😭
The Hack about keeping the mirror fog-free I had known it being applied for the car windshield (it wasn’t specifically with Dawn when I knew about it).
Please don't use essential oils on your TP rolls. It goes through the cardboard into the paper. Most, if not all, essential oils aren't safe to use/contact lady bits. It's a good way to give yourself chemical burn or open you up for infections (because potential pH changes)
came here to say this!
Plus some of them are toxic to pets.
You do realize a lot of the soaps you use incorporate essentials oils in them as their means of fragrance....
@@mistybickers8806 soap shouldnt be used on the vagina
@@mistybickers8806 tbh you should really only use water to clean your lady bits for that reason exactly
You clean Mirror with shaving Cream the Mirror won't Fog and stay very clean. I been doing it for 50 Years.
Thanks for reminding me this one
Thank you for that tip! I’m definitely gonna try the shaving cream!
Any particular cream? Do you use a cloth?
What cream do you use and what do you use to clean it off? I grew up in the foster system and was never really taught clean hacks. I want to know details please

I'm in my 70's and my mom showed me how to fold fitted sheets as soon as I was old enough to do laundry. My mom ironed her sheets!!
That's how we learned to iron on sheets and pillow cases.
I have a cousin who's mom had her iron towels as well
A friend of mine said people used to iron the sheets to make sure bed bugs and dust mites were dead before we had high heat dryers.

I'm a new subscriber! Love your content! The water and fabric softener hack we do here too. I also lightly spritz it on my couch and curtains and sheets and comforters too!
Hi and welcome!!! 😊❤️
Use that dawn and vinegar on your shower doors. They will sparkle
I used this on the outside of my sliding glass door and it worked like a charm. No streaks!
I’ve used the dryer sheet with comet scrubbed away and left it nice and clean without the lines and the front with glass cleaner
I’ll have to try that 😊
I’m so glad I found your channel. You are “real” and not a TH-camr that tries too hard to be professional and liked. You are just like the majority of us and seem like more of a friend giving some advice. I just joined your channel because I really like you and how u test these things out! Thanks!!! 😀
Thank you so much! That’s exactly how I want to be for my channel. I hate watching those “fake” people.

Florida Girl you look so much like me it's unreal. I subscribed to your channel an commented on the only video I could. I'm from Alabama. Not selling or wanting anything just amazed at your picture lol
@@rachelbrown8127 oh wow!!!! This is crazy!!! Will u send me a pic of u that I can see better? All I can see is the small one but yes we look alike! It’s awesome! Maybe we are related somehow or some people say that everyone has a twin out there somewhere. Who know?! That could be us! I’m so interested in knowing more about u!! I hope I hear Bach from u!! Have a great night!
I feel the same way! I love watching your channel. You always get straight to it. No stupid long back story but best of all, you look and dress like normal people do when cleaning the house. Thanks for all the hacks! Most of all thanks for being real!!
Putting tea tree oil in the brush for the shower helps with mold
I just love videos like this thank you 😊
Thank you. I’ve heard a lot about tea tree oil and I’m looking into it. 😊
I never use chemicals in my bathroom. I use Hydrogen peroxide mixed with 1/4 of water and a few drops of essential oils. Personally I put a few squirts of this Sandlewood cleaner to give it a nice scent. And for the bathtub I use baking soda and vinegar.
I’m always up for trying more natural options. 😊
Wow that’s awesome with the dawn on the mirror. It always annoys me that my mirror is fogged up after a shower, ‘cause that’s when I need to use the mirror.
It’s lasting a while too. My mirror still won’t fog in that spot days later.
Read my entry about dawn/broom in shower easy peasy
The blender hack is great, but there is a ring inside the base where the top seals. If you don’t pull that out and clean and the crevice, you will have mold in there.
Ice does not sharpen disposal blades, nothing does unless you take them out and sharpen them like kitchen knives. Using any blade on any type of material only dulls it. But ice does help clean food off the blades.
Sadly, I did learn this shortly after posting the video. 😕 It’s nice to get the food off so nothing is sticking to the blades but I wish there was an easier way to sharpen.

Old fashioned shaving cream (Not gel) on the mirror the same way as the dawn power wash does the same thing and a $1 can will do your mirror multiple times
I heard that about the shaving cream but haven’t tried it yet… now it’s my list. Thank you. 😊
Ohhhh it’s less expensive! Thank you.
It will also take stains out of carpet but do a test spot first
Hi, I just found you and love your authenticity.I can tell you are not trendy with your advice. I think you know some other lifestyle influencers are all about the wrong attention. Thanks 👍
Thank you! 😊❤️
I enjoy your videos. I usually keep my opinions to myself because antisocial media is a bad place for opinions. But the one opinion I will share is that this is a great compilation of tips…doable or not, effective or TikTok trash…great to see and hear about.
Thank you so much 😊
Looks like im gonna be sticking up on my favorites fabric softner and im gonna clean the walls and everything. Clean linen is my favorite smell id love my house smelling like clean laundry.Thanks for the goid hacks
Old toothbrush under rubber gasket on kitchen sink does wonders. Lots of gross stuff under there.
hi, housekeeper here. looking at your toilet lol i just wanna say pumice stone will remove that black under the bowl on inside. promise. not a hack, just a fact lol
I'd highly suggest not using a bleach cleaner on caulking or silicone like above the sink. Definitely don't let it sit. It'll break it down and you'll have to redo. Use baking soda or rubbing alcohol but don't let alcohol sit long either.
Yes!! She was saying grout but I believe she meant caulk.
Actually. She said it was for grout, but she didnt have any, so she was using the calk as an example.
@@gracekelehar4014 maybe my comment will help those who don't know. I did construction work for 8 years. Most people don't know not to use bleach cleaners on caulk. Also white vinegar is better for the life of grout as well.
I have a better hack than toilet cleaner for grout!Plus, NO BLEACH!
The grout in my apt was SO gross and the seal had long worn off so I was constantly scrubbing it bc the white would get dingy so fast. I'd scrub it w bleach so much I was wearing away the grout. Tried the toilet cleaner trick but it takes forever to wipe up and you don't want kids or pets touching the residue on counters or floors!
The alternative is mixing hydrogen peroxide and baking soda (ya I thought the same this bs isn't going to work) and smear it into your grout lines. Actually what I do now is just sprinkle some baking soda w a teaspoon, use the spoon back to push it in the grout lines and spray hydrogen peroxide over top. I've done both thy both work. The important part is to LET IT DRY! Not only does this disinfect but it whitens/brightens (even my tan floor grout) BEYOND BELIEF. I was using a heavy duty stiff grout brush before w/ bleach and a lottt of elbow grease. With the H2O2+baking soda, once dry rehydrate it with water (I like to use more H2O2) and a light scrub w a reg toothbrush is all you need. Wipe away and be amazed. Even if you leave a trace it's not a chemical like bleach. Def seal your grout after you do this and you'll save yourself a lot of time cleaning later.
I'm going to try this! How do you seal your grout afterwards? What do you use?
Same question hopefully they can help us with this
Also I’ve been doing a faster method of my orig hydrogen peroxide/baking soda hack-just sprinkle some baking soda all over and spray w H2O2 (most nozzles fit right in the bottle). Using a scrub brush, brush into grout lines (no need to scrub you’re just getting it over/into the grout). Let dry…this is when the magic happen! Spray again w water (or more H2O2 for extra cleaning power), scrub to loosen w/ a scrub or toothbrush and wipe w/ a clean rag. Much more efficient and uses less product than my orig method.
The fabric softener in a spray bottle thing is very bad to do, it's waxy so it draws dust and aerosolized fabric softener is a breathing problem, especially eith kids and pets, it's not meant to be sprayed in the air or onto a cloth because it's then airborne
I did the fabric softener on my walls, because I heard it's supposed to repel dust. I used the fabulouso antibacterial to clean them then went back over my walls and pictures with the fabric softener and water mix. My livingroom smells so good and the scent has lasted. I don't know about the dust repellent yet, I gotta wait and see. I pray it does though.
I’m so glad you tried it!! I did notice a little bit of repellent to dust but it’s not extreme.
@@RachPlusFive We live in an older house and the dust is just horrendous for some reason. I forgot to mention I vacuumed my walls first lol. That's how dusty it gets. If you know of any dust repellents or ways to eliminate dust to a minimum I would love to hear any tips.
It’s going to sound weird but it helps… Get a can of Endust. Spray it either onto the wall or on a mop or duster and wipe down the walls. It should remove all of the dust and repel dust.
@@RachPlusFive I will definitely try it. Thank you!
@@RachPlusFive I am going to try this...thank you
Isn't fabric softener flammable though? (For the wall hack)
I love your channel. I appreciate that you try these hacks for us so we don't have to take the time just to find out they don't work. I am obsessed with making sure my toilet and all the splatters are cleaned, it grosses me out to think of pee splatter all over the place 😬🤢
Thank you! I’ve been burned by one too many “hacks” so I like to save people from that as much as I can. 😊
Love your channel. Your house is beautiful. What kind of mascara, do you wear that you just showed?
Thank you. It’s Lash Princess by Essence
At restaurant i used work at we would put ice and salt and lemon 🍋 peices or juice in glass coffee pot shake it around and dump rinse it would make the glass stains gone
Omg, just tried the fabric softener on my professionally painted walls - omg!! My painter will not be happy. Love it!!
You only need boiling hot water and 2 microfiber cloths one for cleaning and one for drying rubber gloves and a little multipurpose spray and it cleanes absolutely brilliantly
Spray the area with cleaner wipe clean with the hot microfiber cloth that you dipped in boiling hot water and then dry with the other cloth
I’m going to try the powder tide in the mopping liquid. I have never seen that one before.
Just don’t use more than a tablespoon. 😊
@@RachPlusFive ok glad you told me because I would have put in cup full to make sure my floors get extra clean 😂
To a gallon of hot water add a dash of bleach for disinfectant, and a teaspoon of powdered tide. Favorite mop water mix!
I have been in the cleaning business for over 20 years if you have wood floors please only use approved chemical and cleaners for wood or you can damage them easily any other type of flooring material it can be used
I do this with pine sol. But this is the fabric softener I use
I want to see someone do that sheet folding hack with a king size fitted sheet!!
I sadly don’t have a king sized bed in my house 😕
It can be done. I’ve been doing similar (not folding into itself though, that was a little different but interesting and I’m gonna have to try) anyway I told our king size sheets similar and I’ve only got one arm! So if I can do it anyone can 😉
You and me both.
Fabric softener and water also get wrinkles out of clothing..😁😁😁
I tried that fitted sheet hack...guess I'll just stick with wadding them up! Lol
Haha it took me a couple tries to figure it out.
Clean bathroom mirrors for a streak free shine wipe with shaving cream brilliant results
Fitted sheet folding ... laying it on the bed and working that way seemed a little extra. Hold up with hands in wrong side out corners of top and bottom. Tuck top into bottom end, then tuck side corner to side corner. Trifold then fold in and tuck into elastic.
To clean my grout i just use magic erasers. They work GREAT! Floors look brand new afterwards and it wont destroy your grout. Bonus: if u save all the old pieces from other jobs and if u wear dish washing gloves u can use those leftover pieces all the way down to a crumb. So theres no waste. Everytime i do this people walk in and ask if i got new flooring put in. Its awesome! & i hate cleaning.
Thank you! I’ll definitely try that! 😊🧡
Once you clean a dirty shower door! Wipe it down with Lemon oil polish - Keeps water off -
I’ll have to try that, thank you 😊
Another hack for your tile grout. Take a steamer that has one of those pen or needle tips (sorry not sure what the nozzle is called) but take that and apply it over your grout. Holy Cow it cleans it amazingly
I’ve done that and yes it’s amazing! I just have sooo much tile that it takes forever.
I use that bleach toilet cleaner in the tub/ shower for all the creases and I don’t have to scrub it at all
I just found your channel. Amazing. I'm a stay at home mom so my life revolves around cleaning.
Thank you!! 😊
Love the cleaning hacks all in one place! Thank you!
Thank you for watching! 😊
I’ve tried the bleach cleaner against molding and grout. It worked great for the grout but it also took off some of the paint from the wall. 😕
That’s odd about the paint. Maybe it’s not scrubbable paint or isn’t sealed?
Also Oxygen Bleach works awesome for grout but I'd use Oxy-Boost, or Biokleen's Oxygen Bleach over Oxyclean as Oxyclean is full of fillers. It needs to be dissolved in #HOT water. You can apply once it's cool but the powder won't disolve all the way unless the water is HOT! Let it soak for a few mins and the scrub.
My carpenter friend said grout goes bad over time no matter what you do and needs replaced. No way around that. Just pull out/replace. If mirror is fogging put fan on. If it doesn't disappear, do a fan check. 1 sheet of tp throw it up towards fan. If it falls. Bad fan. 1st clean it really well, try again. If it falls, replace fan. That is imp to keep bathroom mold free. Don't underestimate a working fan in b/r! Or u might be ripping bathroom apart bc of mold in corners and damaging walls/,floors. Get best fan u can afford. More power is best
I never thought about checking my bathroom fan! Thank you for this! 😊
@@RachPlusFive I never gave a thought about fans either. He checked my fan. Dead. And replaced with better than what u need for space. I never get a fogged mirror now. Best way to clean fan is vacuum. He has redone lots of bathrooms.
My parents' house was built in the '50s and doesn't have fans in any of the bathrooms. I would have loved to know the mirror hack back then. I hated showering there or using the bathroom after anyone else did #2...
I just roll my fitted sheets into a fitted ball 😆
I just roll each set into one of the pillow cases.
Me too! Maybe more on the "wad" end of the spectrum, though
I have to share, when my two boys were about 7 and 8 years old we use the black light on the toilet seat. I was adamant that they were splashing everywhere , but they denied it . So when we got close up it looked like the night sky, endless glowing stars in a deep layer. We all screamed and jumped back in horror. The kids are adults now but they still pee sitting down 🤣🤣
Haha that’s a great way to teach them to control their mess. 😊
You can also wash your glasses with Dawn and they won’t fog up when you wear a mask.
That’s good to know because I was going to randomly try that this weekend for my daughter. She complained yesterday that he glasses kept fogging all week.
Question: Does this mess up the sealant on your glasses? I have been told to never wash my glasses with soaps, harsh cloths or warm water. I have ruined a pair of glasses in the past by using commercial soap products. Now I use the products made especially for eye glasses. Just a question… please consult your optometrist as my mistake was expensive to repair. 😌
@@patriciaharris2436 So far so good. This is what Doctors have done for years. Dawn though. Not commercial soap products just Dawn.
@@patriciaharris2436 you don't toss them in with the rest of the dishes. Common sense rules here.
@@kimber45ish thank you! I will try it with Dawn. Yup, I was using any liquid soap I had. I appreciate your confirmation. 🥰
With my sheets I fold everything inside out that way when you make your bed it's all you have to do is find the first corner and start, I also fold the fitted flat and pillow case all together and put in in the other one so the whole set don't get lost.
That blender cleaning hack does work great !!
I do it all the time .
I'm going to try the fabric softener + water trick for washing walls. We have four big stinky dogs who love to lay against the walls around the house. From your demonstration, it looks like this concoction could be a winner! Thank you!
You’re welcome! Hopefully it works for you too. 😊
It also works for helping to loosen pet hair in car fabric.
@@gokblok yup
You are using the fabric softener to spot clean walls...could this be used to clean walls top to bottom? Maybe in a bucket of water? I usually do that with a new sponge mop from Dollar Tree.
I do it for both, spot cleaning or whole wall cleaning. One cap full in a gallon of water is what I use for the entire wall cleaning.
@@RachPlusFive thank you so much for the quick response. My mom is in the process of buying a house that has been shut up for quite awhile so it has that musty smell. I thought that might kill 2 birds with 1 stone. Thanks 😊
😯 Need to re-mop my bathroom floor and SEAL THE GROUT! Used Soft Scrub with bleach (bleach comes in it) once this summer. Thanks.
The bleach hack does work but take care on the surrounding surface eg tile, to ensure it is ok to use.
Recently found ur videos n now Im a fan lol. Not sure if u know this or have tried but...
A hack that I learned years ago with my sheets. Neatly fold the sheets plus 1 pillowcase n stack then place ur stack inside the remaining pillowcase. Fold the excess over then u have a full set inside 1 pillowcase. They stack neater n the set is all 2gthr 😊 I hope that makes sense. I clean houses so I can't wait 2 try a few of these hacks! Thanks!
Thank you! I’ve tried that hack and it’s actually how I mainly store ours. It’s easier when the kids need new sheets just grab the one pillowcase and they’ve got everything they need. 😊
Try Dollar Tree degreaser on glass and windows, has to be very diluted - one capful to 900 ml bottle.
Baby oil on stainless to keep prints off. Noticed the little prints on your dishwasher 😊 loved the video
I haven’t heard that trick yet but I’m definitely going to try it. 😊
Yes I saw Dani Austin do it on her garage drink fridge. It helped a lot after it dried
Also alcohol will work
Orange oil for wood works great on most stainless and smells so much better then baby oil in the kitchen lol
Can anyone tell me how to get the grout clean in my walk in shower? I tried a steamer and it didn’t work to get rid of the mold. I live in Florida and it seems like everything gets moldy here. I’m from Vegas where everything is dry and I don’t deal with all this humidity. But for some reason I can’t get the grout to look nice and the mold coloring to go away. Can anyone give me some good advice on how to get rid of it and make it look nice?? Thanks so much!!
Zep sells a grout cleaner and brightener. It’s fantastic. Just be careful of the fumes:
Rmr on amazon..... fumes are toxic but it works in about 60 secs
The sheets I've been doing since a kid. My mom taught me that. Then I put the whole set into the pillow case so I just grab all in one shot!
I will definitely be trying some of these hacks out
I purchased a bathroom mirror for a half bath, and it has a weird fog appearance to the top and bottom. Windex didn't remove it, alcohol did not, so I tried the shaving cream hack. BIG mistake. Fog appearance spread all over mirror. 😫
Oh no! I’m so sorry. Try white vinegar or some Dawn (or Dawn Powerwash). Good luck. 😊
I was taught two very important things about bleach :
1. NEVER mix bleach with another product. If your product is acidic it makes a toxic fumes. Which you breath in and your kids breath and your pets... Don't do it.
2. Bleach kills bacteria when diluted with COLD water. The colder the better. We put hot or warm water with soap to help with oily stuff, but really putting warm or hot water with bleach makes it ineffective.
Also, so many hacks use baking soda and vinegar together because it makes a nice foamy thing and you think that stuff is doing something. In reality you are putting an acid on a base wich turn the whole thing neutral. Like water. Basically you are using 2 very useful products and turning them into water. Just use really hot water, add vinegar with dish soap to degrease, it is more effective. Maybe less nice to look at on TH-cam though
Thanks for the tips
I have done some of the hacks you have in the past. One thing I would like to share is softener/water on spray bottle, you can spray them in your pillow case / cover sheet and let it dry for couple minutes before you lay your head and you will feel so clean going to bed, also if you iron your clothes use them to get the wrinkle out and it smells good afterward. Been doing this since I was 12, learned it from my Grandma.
A steam cleaner does wonders in the bathroom
I love using a steam cleaner!
New Subbie. Thanks for sharing all of the cleaning hacks. I've been folding my fitted sheets like that for decades, minus the fold pocket at the end. I love the wall cleaning hack you shared. Genius! Great video.
Thank you so much and welcome!!! 😊🧡
Remember to clean cold air return vents and hot air vents. Vacuum vents first and between cleaning.
The furnace area where the filter goes.
Window screens should be washed, I also vacuum them during good weather. Between cleaning.
More good ones to add!
Also, clean your vacuum and it’s filter. 😊
I would have to rinse out the nutri bullet first then add the water and soap lol I couldn’t keep it dirty like that. My brain wouldn’t allow it. 🤣
I just posted with a question about the floor cleaner. I watched it again and it says to mix with water. I should have watched it again before asking! 🙄
Haha it happens 😊
I am a new subscriber . Love your channel !
Love the essential oil on the toilet paper roll cardboard. However disclaimer** Do not put too much it will sip through the cardboard and will end on your tissue. Someone will end up with a very fresh and minty bottom! 😂 😆 and everyone might have a big laugh out of it!
Do you think the Dawn power-wash for the mirrors would work equally well for window glass? Possibly the inside of car windows too?
I’m not sure but it’s worth a shot…
Try it I’d love to know
9:10 also remove the rubber stopper from the sink of the garbage disposal and clean it. It should just pop out and the you just push it back down when you are done cleaning it, there should be a lip inside the drain it sits on.
Mine doesn’t come out, I’ve tried numerous times. 😕
Warming the vinegar or the water you dilute it with,, is more effective on hard water stains than if cold.
I keep a dime in the bathroom drawer just to unscrew the toilet seat.
That’s smart 😊
Try the fabric softener recipe on stainless steel, amazing. But you will have to wipe with a clean wet fiber cloth.
Shaving cream also works for the mirror. Don’t rinse it.
I’ll try that 😊
I did not know that you could do that with a blender! I've hated using the blender this whole time because I hate cleaning it. I will try to like my blender again. Thank you! 😭
Thank you for all the AMAZING tips!
The Hack about keeping the mirror fog-free I had known it being applied for the car windshield (it wasn’t specifically with Dawn when I knew about it).
Best tile and grout cleaner is the LA Awesome powder from Dollar Tree, Blue dawn, and hot water... it also takes crayon marks off walls.
I haven’t tried the powder yet but now I want to. Thank you 😊
@@RachPlusFive you're most welcome
