I would also wet the pillow case to really clean it well. Great tips, I'm definitely trying some of these, thank you 💖
Hey Maria your vids have helped me so much sending you love from Ireland xx
I love the idea of wetting the pillow case a bit -- thats brilliant 😁
Maria so glad to find you here and my dreams🤗🤗🤗
@@MoreMandyJ 6766feet and legs and a bit more of an hour of you will get the chance and get to see if the person has the chance and is able if it works and it doesn't make you too sweetie or not that it would only happen when do the opposite
When dusting my fan above the bed, I always do it before I remove the sheets on wash day. This way if any particles fall they can be washe's easily and the mattress stays clean.
Lol me too.
Gosh I'm old. A lot of " new" hacks I read about years ago on magazines like Martha Stewart way before TH-cam, Pinterest or Tik Tok.
Anyone remember Helpful Hints from Heloise?
@@ambyg720 Yes, old too- but newer or younger YT audience may not be aware. Yes... liked Heloise a lot 🙂
Also “old” 🙂- it’s possible she’s got young(er) viewers. It is though amusing to hear things are “ new”-I feel ya’ w/ Martha Stewart AND B Smith ( who passed away recently).
Helpful Hints by Heloise and local church cookbooks. Those ladies always included a chapter on helpful hints.
Noone says they're new, almost anything has been done in one way or another. Internet platforms are just a new way to share these since younger people don't read many magazines anymore.
I love that you go right into the content without a lot of unnecessary talk. Excellent, professional and very helpful video. Do more like this please!
Yes, yes and yes. Lol
I like to take my sheet sets, fold them and place every piece inside a matching pillow case for easy organization. It helps to keep the set all together. I like your tips and hacks.
Thanks for this idea 😉
I also do that 🙂
i only have three sets, it’s easy to keep them organized. one is always on my bed and two are easy to stack.
My mom taught me how to fold towels exactly like that as well. And I never stopped. And I have my kids doing it and my husband doing it.I think the older I get the more I'm becoming a lot like my mom. Sadly she's in heaven but I'm keeping her memory alive
You would hate my folding. I never fold my towels the same way
Thank you Mommy! I noticed others are commenting on the window treatment pool noodle upgrade. I wanted to add to that: pipe insulation "noodle" found at the hard ware store. It is black, sliced down the length so you can clamp it on INSTEAD of removing the fabric, and the added benefit it is more dense, more rigid for a more precise space conformation. Plus you get the added benefit of blocking light escape if used in bedroom etc. And that Eucalyptus remover BLEW my mind. Going to try it on bumper sticker/equipment sticker removal. Yippee.
Pipe insulation trick is genius! I’m going to have to try that. Thank you for sharing ☺️
Candles burn down like that when they are repeatedly burned for only a short time.
If you are only going to light them for a couple hours, it's better to use thinner candles.
I believe the rule is to burn one hour for every inch in diameter of that candle.
Essential oil can be too potent for your skin if it’s not diluted with mineral oil. But cheap Dollar Tree baby oil or petroleum jelly works great for removing adhesive labels. Just remove the excess oil with alcohol, before washing the bottle. My Mom taught us how to fold towels like this too, years ago. It’s a great way to neatly stack more towels in a smaller closet or storage place. Thanks again for sharing! Btw, I’m a new subscriber 🤗
That Eucalyptus trick is one all of us Australians know. It's the best for removing the sticky residue left over from price tags or stickers. Glad to see you're using an Australian brand too. xx
You are so right! Eucy oil is great for removing chewing gum from fabric as well.
A small amount of nail- varnish remover on a cotton wool ball will rub off sticky residue.
Good for getting tar off dogs (if they run in the beach) too
@@carliem9494 it's highly toxic to pets!
would be to humans, if you use it neat, too (all EOs are, with the slight and qualified exceptions of lavender, tea tree and clove - to a certain extent). Personally, I’d dilute the EO first, remove the tar from the coat (being mindful of skin contact) and then carefully clean the dilution off the coat. The tar itself is also toxic/damaging
You can do this with cooking oil, nail varnish remover (any old cheap one will do) or with WD40. You don't need to use expensive essential oil for this!
Oh, phew, am I glad you mentioned this, because I was just going to ask if other types of oil would work, too! I’m allergic to eucalyptus, plus I have a *very* nosy and mouthy baby puppy, so eucalyptus oil is right out in my world. What a waste of expensive essential oils, too!
@@wendyannh i use totally inexpensive biphase cleanser for waterproof eye makeup, it works just fine.
I always use vegetable oil to get sticky residue off
Baby oil works well for this also🙂
Many many years ago a good friend of mine taught me the art of "hugging" my candles. As they burn, while they are still warm, wrap your hands around the top and GENTLY squeeze those top edges towards the center.
I love the level apps!!! I have 1 on my tablet but I have the Samsung S10 and there is already 1 on here.
Also when steaming the microwave, add a slice or 2 of lemon if you happen to have any around. Smells so good and the acid helps clean it too.
Folding towels! My mama taught me that way too! She was born in the 20s....shows how long that folding style has been around!
I'm not big in technology, please keep these home hacks from tik tok videos coming. I enjoyed your video so much! great ideas.Thanks for sharing
Some of these are great. My mom was a florist though way back in the seventies and we did that tape grid all the time for her cut flowers
I also learned a cute hack, to match the colors of the room decor w/the flowers. You can also add marbles inside the bottom (that match, as well.) Also, don't forget to pop an aspirin into the water for those freshly cut flowers, to extend their life!
Lol🤣🤣Jamie- we had 2 flower shops growing up from 5th grade to 12 grade and I think of how we did bows back then with one hand holding the ribbon the other turning and flipping the ribbon then tying it with floral wire🤣🤣🤣🤣I see all these easy bow making ideas and I’m like huh🤔🤔🤔I hated the way my hands hurt back 😂😂👍👍
@@nancypulice1682
And remember Christmas time? The standing up to your ankles in leatherleaf and Greenery. Oh and your where always wet. Good times lol
janie fogle I can remember my mom putting a bit of bleach in the baby’s breath to make it whiter and I always said it smelled like cat pee. Not sure what state your in but out distributor was Nordlees in Michigan and I swear about a month ago I saw a Nordlees truck they are still around. Did you guys have the telafax for out if state orders wow brings back memories thanks for the little trip down the lane🤣🤣💜
@@nancypulice1682
We had Teleflora and we were in Houston at the time. I know the memories made me smile last night thank you also. But I have to say I'm like you I look at their bows and I'm like? And I'd like to see then do a dozen Rose arrangement. Have a great day. I grew up in Muskegon if you were near that at all
The microwave I use a wet sponge with a few drops of lemon juice works just as well and leaves the oven smelling nice and fresh and we all know lemon is a natural anti bacterial cleaner
Just use sponge to clean oven 👍
I have been using the pillow case idea for years. I made a towel case for cleaning the fan, it works better and it has its own reason for being. I don’t like to use my actual pillow cases. I’ve been folding my towels this way for ever.
How big do you make you towel case? I would like to make one to clean my fans.
Tracey Finch I use a bath towel. I see it up on 3 sizes an use my broom as an extension, then I use either elastic or a string to make it stay on the broom.I also, have used a hand towel. It just depends on how big you want it.
Ellen Schram thank you
The microwave hack works even better with vinegar instead of dish soap! Put it for a few minutes and leave it for a few more. Perfect hack!
I second this, vinegar is the way to go!
I was looking for just this comment. :))
I use boiling water, as it let's off steam faster, with a couple of slices of lemon, the lemon cuts through the grease and smells good too! 😊
My (adult) baby sister showed me this hack years ago. However, she used a small bowl of water & a brand-new sponge. I, on the other hand, use a wash cloth. I might now, try the lemon idea, though. Also, we learned from our mom that, a quick DIY "potpourri" boil orange/lemon peels. (Just be sure to keep an eye on it! You DON'T want all the water to boil away!)
@@patriciapark1 I've always used lemons too! It cleans great & the smell is incredible :-)
I am just grateful if anyone remembers to bring toilet paper into the bathroom, let alone decorate with it !
HAHAHA! That's so true!
OMG!!! Totally agree! 😂😂
@@thediymommy. Mmmmmm
Ha! I SOOOO can relate!
@@kristinlynch7596 5 daughters 1 son. The struggle is REAL !
Florist use tape all the time . Those are beautiful flowers, imagine they smell heavenly.
Furniture polish on the pillow case helps clean as well .
Love your “hacks,” but I must say your peonies are gorgeous!
They're my favourite!
Actually, it was hard for me to pick just one, so here are my top three:
1. Pillow case ceiling fan duster
2. Eucalyptus essential oil glue remover ... And finally, in third place ...
3. Cell phone bubble level APP
Will look for the bubble app
My mom taught me to fold towels like this 40 years ago. Funny what we carry as a good memory.
Two of my brothers & a few cousins were military. I fold my towels twice like u did then I roll them up. I love this way. Any clothes in drawers or storage bags gets rolled. It works for me.
That's what I do too
Loved this. And thanks for not running the music throughout the video. It was calm and relaxing and allowed me to think about how I can use these in my home.
There's a few hacks I've never seen before. Thank you!! You can also use lemon essential oil to remove any stubborn stickers. I'll have to try the Eucalyptus! One of my all time home hacks I do often, is o take oyr dish brush, throw it The microwave damp and turn it on for 2 minutes, leaving it in there an additional minute. This disinfects it and I feel much better when cleaning dishes. We don't use wash cloths due to bacteria build up, so we love the brushes. So so easy to clean after each use.
For the candle hack... it’s important to trim your wicks every time. Also burning a candle for at least 4 hours the first time will create an even burning candle.
Any tips for two and three wick candles?
When you buy a new candle, if the wick is bent to one side, don’t try to straighten it. Good quality candles are designed so the wick will slowly rotate as it’s burning so the candle burns evenly.
Thats cool..i didn't know that.
Thx for the tip!
🤓
I liked the flowers in the vase with tape to be a really good idea. What really got my attention was the way you clean the fan in the bedroom. I always make sure that I have to strip the bed right after I do the fan. This new way of doing it with the pillowcase is how I'll be doing it from now on. Wonderful ideas!🏆💡
Thanks Susan!
That colander hack is a game changer.
I been folding my towels that way and the microwave tip was awesome but one of your subies said use vinegar so I’m going to try that tfs ❤️
Your eucalyptus trick works like a charm on plastic bottles, too! I usually save a few empty prescription bottles for when I have to take samples from my cats to the vet. I've always struggled with removing the sticky residue from the labels! This was my favourite tip from all 10. 😀
Oh my age is showing, I saw most of these on pinterest years ago... pool noodle cut up for thicker heavier curtains, lemon in water in the microwave to antibacterial and degrease it etc.... nowadays though pinterest just seems full of adverts and not as much content.
Pool noodle! That's clever too... so many ideas out there!
Or kitchen towel roll :)
You can say that again about Pinterest! If I see one more add for those weird flats I'll go nuts, lol!
They probably came from everyone's grandparents!
A lot of these are old hotel tricks, like the towels and toilet paper folds.
My Mom taught me to fold towels like that years ago, I've passed that on to both my daughters and my grandchildren! I love the hack for removing sticky from jars!
I loved them all, thank you! But I think my favorite is the “seal” on the toilet paper! Love it!
Mine also
The pasta hack is a game changer.
It's often the simplest idea, but perhaps not something to that is apparent - ergo, hacks! I'm adopting this, too!
Where would you find one of those? Thanks☺️💁
the loo roll hack really did make a difference. Nice one to know if you are not able to buy nice heavy curtains, or you only want thinner ones to let more light in.
Great ideas! Excited to try the curtain spacer and the tape for vases. I fold my towels like that too!!
I've already done all my curtains throughout the house, with the Toilet Roll hack, fantastic hack
The last one using eucalyptus was my favorite as well!! Thank you for sharing!❣
I love the essential oil trick. I want to see a tour of your home, it looks beautiful!
Thank you! I'll have to share another full tour soon.
Lemon essential oil is also fantastic for removing labels.
I swear by a mix of baking soda and cooking oil. Lemon essential oil is a bit too pricey to use on that, imo. 😂
Thank you
Love the first and the last ideas!! Thanks for bring this to YT
And orange oil. They also lift chewing gum right off everything.
I was told once you remove the paper part of the label, set it into boiling hot water w/a few drops of Dawn dishwashing liquid, for 10-15 minutes. Afterwards, it should just wipe away w/a paper towel. IF not, repeat. However, I have heard of using baby oil. (But, I've never tried it.)
Thanks for the info! Lol I have always folded my towels that way👍🏻 my favorite hack was for the curtains I must try❤️
Thank you all for sharing your ideas they're very helpful have a blessed week
I love how she says pasta, and I love the idea, as well. My mom taught me to fold towels that way, too. I think any oil helps to get the label residue off, maybe not as fast, but it will work.
Any oil DOES work. it’s great for removing sap left on hands from Christmas trees!!
I’ve used canola oil, olive oil...any oil available gets the sticky residue off...even if part of the label is still stuck on! I’ve even used the oil to remove stickers from acrylic frames etc...works like charm!
@@LadyWhistled0wn
WD-40 works as well
oh my God! the toilet paper roll tabs in the curtains is a game changer! TY!
Thank you for sharing the toilet paper roll hack for curtains! I am loving the results😊
That removing sticker residue trick works with tons of different oils, it doesn't have to be eucalyptus. Orange oil, vegetable oil, olive oil, oil from your face...don't ask me why I know, lol. Generally, it's just the oil that removes the stickiness from non-porous surfaces.
Same with the microwave, the steam does most of the work, you can add soap, or vinegar, or lemon or orange etc.
Love the idea with the eucalyptus removing the goop and gum on jars. I have both! Thank you!
Renee, oh yes, it seems companies use an enormous amount of glue on labels. The worst ones are the labels on medicine bottles. They refuse to come off.
My mom taught me to fold towels like that and I trained my boys to do the same!
Mine too 😂😂😂
Love Peonies. Reminds of my Grandma's gardens growing up. 💞💞💞
me too!
I'm 70ish and loved all the hacks! 😊
I put lemon in the water for the microwave hack. Smells fresh and cleans like a dream! Also, let it set.
Great idea!
I really liked the pillowcase to clean the fan blades and the strainer in the pot to drain the pasta.
Great hack video! The strainer and the fancy toilet paper seal were my favs. Thanks!
All really good tips, I loved the eucalyptus adhesive remover and the curtain rod toilet paper hack. So simple and your recycling at the same time!
I love all of these 🌺
I am a florist and I would do this with tape made for this and it makes an awesome looking arrangement 🤗
Great tips, I always fold my towels like that.
Love your ideas . I can’t wait to try them. Thank you for sharing
Just last night I made pasta and when I went to strain it, there was a bit too much pasta for the strainer to hold. I'm also always putting the strained pasta back in the pot to add sauce, so the strainer hack is brilliant! Thank you!
My favorite was the pillow case to clean fan. Brilliant
Amazing! So doing the flower arranging trick!!!!!
Liked all of them. Thanks for taking time to share.
Your peonies are gorgeous! Love these hacks, please keep them coming ♥️
Thank you for the Tik Tock DIYS. They were very helpful
I'm glad you found hacks from all over the place then put them in one video because it would have taken me years to find everything I need in this video by searching Tik Tok and other sites. Good idea
LOL! Thanks so much!
Pasta straining- why did we never think of that! ? !
Right??
Because the strainer is never the same size of the pot ahahah
I have to admit, this is definitely one I'd probably try 1st. Until I seen your video, I was seriously looking to buy one of those small stockpots w/the metal colander insert. (People usually use them for spaghetti.) Even if I have to BUY a "strainer," the same size as my pots, I want to try this out! 👍😁😄👌
I've been folding my towels that way for years and the tp hack is a favorite of hotels. I love the pillow case hack and the flower vase hack the best
My favourite was the eucalyptus oil on sticky bottles hack. I will need to buy some eucalyptus oil. Thanks for this tip!
Thank you for sharing I learned some new hacks. I love some great hacks around the house. My favorite is to clean the microwave with water and lemon. 👍🏼
I’ve been cleaning my fan with a pillowcase for years! To make it even better use a flannel pillow case.
Interesting! Never would of thought to do some of these hacks. I must give them a try. BTW my mom taught me to fold the towels like so when I was a young girl as well...i enjoy your videos and learn so much from them as well.
Loved the pillowcase fan trick. So awesome
the tape idea for flowers was my favourite!
The pillowcase ceiling fan is my jam!!!!
I have been dreading cleaning mine over my bed. Gonna do it tomorrow!!
The bottle sticky mess release seems AWESOME! Trying it IMMEDIATELY! Thanks 🙏🏽
My favorite share was using Eucalyptus Essential Oil for removing the sticky residue. I have used Goo Is Gone product for years and now for real my Goo is gone product is in fact gone. Lol Replacing it with the oil which I already have on hand. Environment friendly and nicely scented. Perfect. Thanks sunshine. Enjoyed the other hacks as always. 😊🙏🇨🇦
To clean your oven, try using Dawn Powerwash. Spray and leave on about half hour and use scouring pad to scrub it off. Also works great on oven racks and burnt foods and rings out of stovetops.
Love the hacks about the tape and arranging your flowers.
They’re all great. I think the toilet paper between the curtain rings was the most surprising, but I definitely will use the Eucalyptus oil to remove stickers!!!
Stamping your toilet paper was pretty cool and the toilet paper rolls I heard it before but still find it cool.oh the candle. Loved that. A lot of my candles have that rise problem.
The floral hack is awesome! I love fresh flowers! Or maybe the ceiling fan hack. All were good so it’s hard to choose. lol 😆 😉
Peonies from your garden ? You are so bless😍
I need to try that mikrowave hack on my oven. I don't really want to get another social media app, so thanks for putting these together, it's a really nice Selection.
Nail polish remover also removes label residue. I did that just last night!
Stunning flowers!!!
The Eucalyptus trick was really new to me!!! Thank you!
I loved the flower arrangement tip. Going to use that! Also the microwave tip
Love all your hacks! Thanks so much.
Bubble level is my fave! Thanks so much. 😊
Straining pasta idea -- BRILLIANT! Thank you!
Love the flower arrangement.
I fold depending on the shelf depth of the home I live in, so it has changed over time. I have yet to just roll them though. Maybe rolled towels will fit any depth linen closet! Going to try it. The pasta strainer! My fave. Love the TP stamp, but I don’t usually display them. Maybe now I will.
I'm certainly going to try the eucalyptus oil for removing sticky residue. I always recycle jars and hate it if I can't get all that sticky stuff off ❤ thanks x
I love the eucalyptus oil hack to clean sticky label residue. Also, your peonies are gorgeous!
You can make them out of a thicker paper works in the same manner 👍
I really liked the toilet paper holder for the curtains and the eucalyptus in the sweeper
These are great hacks! I use some of them, but I wanna try try the toilet roll paper! Thanks for sharing Christina! 💕💕
I enjoyed the video however, have used all of them for very long time!! Except the app. I really thought these were common knowledge to most everyone.
But, oh man that just shows how old I really am. Don’t know if I should laugh or cry 😆😆 😢😢 . Mite as well laugh at myself, laughter is healthy 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Just shows you have knowledge, maybe jump on the app and teach some! Might as well right
loved the microwave, pillow case, and pasta strainer idea and the level app although I have plenty of real level in my shop. I definitely will start using those. I didn't know there was any other way to fold a towel because that is what my mom taught from beginning. now to do that fitted sheet to perfection is another story. she could, I can't.
LOL!
I don’t understand how to look for Tik Tok hacks but I loved watching this one. I learned several things in one video. Thanks.
The eucalyptus oil on the bottle was great! Also learned to fold my towels like this as a young girl. Looks neat and tidy. I really liked the toilet paper idea too!
Thanks Michele!
