    Wood has oils in it. The oils are actually a good thing like oils in cutting boards. It doesn’t necessarily mean your spoon is dirty. And you may end up wearing your wooden spoons out faster by stripping oils. Just a tip

    For the mold: dilute 1/2 cup borax in hot water then transfer to a spray bottle when completely dissolved and cooled. Spray on the shower grout on windows or moldy tracks. Borax kills mold and is natural it doesn’t smell. Leave it for a few hours and scrub and rinse. Do this once a month or even leave it im your shower and spray it after you get out.

      Lysol works great for mold, it says right on it that it gets rid of and keeps mold away. I had some mold on my back porch from rain and dumped some hot water mixed with some concentrated lysol and the mold just started dripping off my porch!

      You know how you're using the paper towels, we have extremely hard water that makes bad rings in the toilet, so I put toilet cleaner in and place tissue paper on top of it , then I put more bowl cleaner on top of the tissue. Make sure it's really saturated. Leave as long as possible. Yes, I usually do it right before bed. In the morning, the first person in flushes and gives it a quick scrub. The ring is gone without hard scrubbing.

    For your shower door area- get some of the cotton rope (like they use in a salon for pedicures) saturate the cotton in straight bleach and lay it along the edges. Leave it overnight and come back in the morning throw out the cotton and rinse. I swear it works. No scrubbing, none! You can use it all along grout as well. The cotton sticks to the wall no problem.

    I have been using Blue Dawn dish detergent liquid as a spot remover in my washer for over ten years. It works to take out spots or stains like crazy. No rag needed, just pour a bit from the bottle directly on the stain, work in slightly with your fingers, then wash as usual. Even handles fruit stains and the infamous "red koolaid" and red wine stains. For the tracks on shower doors and to remove that black, moldy grime around them, use a mix of half white vinegar to half Dawn detergent in a dish brush-scrub on, let sit, then 45 minutes later scrub again and rinse off. Works well.

      I keep a bar of Zote soap and a fingernail scrub brush at the utility sink. Whenever I have any kind of stain, even a greasy, oily stain that I missed before I put it through the wash and didn't notice until *after* the garment came out of the dryer (urrgh, hate that!), I just wet the brush, pick up a little Zote on it and then work it into the stain and then run it through the wash again. It's like magic--takes the set-in stain right out and it's very inexpensive and one bar lasts *forever* !

    The bleach in the grout didn’t work for me, but a steam cleaner got it pure white.
    I use the steam cleaner in places where there can’t be germs, as I’ve seen what other cleaners leave behind. It’s perfect for stuck on grease, and the window of your stove will turn spotless.
    One more thing I recently learned- after thoroughly cleaning your toilet, grab some oil. At the moment most of the water is flushed away, spray a thin layer of it inside the bowl. It stays cleaner longer. Stuck on spaghetti sauce on your walls? Fingerprints? There is only one way to remove the gunk and it’s probably very carcinogenic- but Scrubbing Bubbles will clean and remove app that dried in crud on your painted walls without leaving a trace.

My dad was a truck driver & knowing how I am about my house being clean, he bought me one of those squeegees like you see at a gas station. There’s one big difference, the one my dad bought me is used for semi’s & not just for the windows. They actually use them to clean the entire outside of the company trucks! It has several controllable extended lengths to it. I start at the top of my walls using the sponge side, which has a cloth mesh, just like the gas station type, scrub the wall & then flip it to use the squeegee side to remove any excess water downward. I shorten the extension, scrub with that water & keep working my way down. Repeat. When I get to my floor boards, I wipe the very little excess water up & while I’m there I take a dryer sheet to clean the floor boards. My walls are sparkling clean!…. Also, for those of you that don’t have walls like mine & use the paint roller, they sell a plastic tool in the paint department to remove excess paint from your roller. You don’t have to use your hands to squeeze the water out, just use the tool.

    I have one for you too!
    When you need to cut small items such as grapes, cherry tomatoes, olives or such in half, you don't need to do it individually. You'll need two semi flexible plastic lids such as the ones on margerine or whipped topping. Place the top of one lid on the counter facing up. Lay the food to be cut on top of the lid filling it almost to capacity but leaving a little room. Place the second lid with the top of the the food with the top of the lid facing the counter. Place your hand on top of the upper lid pressing gently. Use a knife with a longer blade and put it between the plates. Slice gently across the food while continuing to hold the top down. When you lift the lid your food will be cut in half. Give it a try it will save a ton of time.

    • @thenerdymillennial
      @thenerdymillennial 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      And it may take out stains but the difference in chemicals can actually wear out your clothes faster because it's a harsher cleaner

    It changed my life when I found out I could just toss the laundry detergent cap into the wash lol, Idk why it didn't occur to me right away but I felt so dumb when I realized.
    Also I don't think that lid switch hack really is overall helpful unless you frequently use only a little. I usually use like half a cup to a full cup at a time so I'd much rather it pour quickly.

    My Swiffer is my very favorite cleaning tool. You can remove one or two of the links to adjust the reach of the pole- you can also add a link or two from a second swiffer in case you need XTRA reach…
    The swiffer pads (that I think are really expensive)… become much more cost effective if you rinse and re-use each one, I find I can usually get 2-3 uses per sheet but then the tuck-in corners begin to break down and rip… HOWEVER… I actually dont really have much love for the cleaning solution that comes on them. It’s pretty good for walls, ceilings, cabinet and drawer faces, and baseboards… sorta… and DOORS… like bedroom doors, closet doors…
    But whether or not Swiffer pads are available… it’s STILL my grime-fighting sidekick, second to none….
    …because it has multiple personalities…. As long as I have a thin enough cleaning interface that wraps snugly around each edge and only overlaps once per corner (but can be poked down into the swiffer pad hole-ders… the fabric, the surface, and the right cleaning solution make for a super-swiffer-clean-sweep through most of the house. I just make sure I rinse the foam and plastic pad platform well before moving from one type of cleaning surface or solution to another- any time I need to change up the type of fabric or solution, it’s rinsed and I always save the floor for last.
    My swiffer slays grime from the ceiling to the floor, walls and doors, counters, cabinets, fridge (still requires immediate dry-towel finish moves), appliance faces, even my windows, sliding glass doors, and mirrors. (The last two things I only ever use rubbing alcohol to clean, nothing else).
    Even rinsing and swapping out various cottons and microfibers and dry dish towels, etc… I can clean my place fresh, shiny, and spotless from top to literal bottom I’m about an hour… two-three TOPS if I need to swiffer the shower walls and then sponge the bath tub and brush the commode… and vacuum, shampoo the carpet in the living room and freshen up the upholstery… and you know there is never NOT a time that dishes and laundry need done… but seriously… it can ALL be done in less time than it takes me to do my own acrylic nails… by like HALF….

    I like to use scrub free bathroom cleaner for my bathroom and kitchen sink. I have always been a bleach user but with covid this was the only cleaner on the shelf one day. It has a lemon scent which I normally don't like I like the bleach clean scent when cleaning. This does so well with shower scum and not actually having to use a lot of elbow grease. In my kitchen I have brass drains and it cleans them to a bright shine without any scrubbing. Works good with hard water stains, definitely recommend trying it if you are not satisfied with your cleaners.

    Let me tell you the absolute MOST MAGICAL shower cleaner you can possibly use.
    Equal parts of vinegar and blue Dawn (has to be blue) in a bowl, microwave for 1 minute. Put in a spray bottle and spray down your entire shower stall (and I mean saturate the walls and doors with it thickly). Leave it for at least an hour but don't let it completely dry. Go back and moisten it. Scrub with a Dollar tree broom dedicated ONLY to cleaning your shower. Rinse walls and doors down very well and I promise you it will take every bit of the soap scum and grossness away like MAGIC. I PROMISE this works! The smell is strong but it's definitely worth it to get a perfectly clean shower stall with almost NO elbow grease.

    Toilet bowl cleaner ( i use the scrubbing bubble one) and paper towels work the best for me for shower mold in the cracks. Just pour it on the areas then top with paper towels. It prevents the toilet bowl cleaner from drying out while it sets, and also holds the cleaner in place. After about an hour you just rinse it off no scrubbing required. If it's major mold then you may need to scrub.

    I have always known not to wet a vacuum filter, but I went ahead and got info from google for y'all. Never do that! Here's why: "If you own a bagless vacuum, do not put a wet filter back in the machine. This will hurt the motor, but even worse, it can cause mold to grow. A warm, damp, dirty place is the perfect combination to grow mold. Then when you turn the vacuum on it blows the mold around your house.". So, yeah, the whole febreeze on the vacuum filter is not a good idea. I use the scent beads and just load them in there, then when you vacuum, the scent beads smell better than the typical dog smell that comes from my vacuum. Just an FYI.

For mould the only thing is straight bleach to kill the mould. I put it in a spray bottle. Spray, wait a couple of minutes and then rinse.

    I heard pinalen or the original pine sol can be used as a stain remover. They are also supposed to be good laundry boosters.

    I also would not mix Lysol with a dishwasher pod for cleaning your floor. Dishwasher pods have disinfectant in them already. Mixing chemicals is a bad idea, especially when you're standing over the steam. Lol

      Truth! And heaven help you if you get that floor wet - dishwasher surfactants are very slippery - dissolve one by itself into a sink full of hot water, you'll see what I mean. You'd break your neck if the surfactants were reactivated by dog pee, rain from an umbrella, a spilled cup of watet.

    I have the same problem with my shower doors, they are so hard to keep clean! CLR works great, the kind in the jug not the spray bottle. I pour it full strength on the tracks and scrub with a toothbrush maybe 10 minutes later. It helps tremendously! As far as the black in the corners is that behind caulk? The issue with mine is that there is clear caulk/sealant there and over time it gets caught underneath and needs to be replaced.

    • @RachPlusFive

      Thank you. I’ve done CRL but it was to spray or diluted from the jug. I’ll do full strength next time. And I do think it’s something to do with the chalk.

    The fabuloso hack is good if you put water in with it to dilute it. What I have is an old squeeze and mop bottle that I refilled with water and fabulosos for my floors. You could also do this in the empty dawn container if you’re fabuloso bottle isn’t low enough. I have a steam mop but I like to squeeze this on the floor before I go over it if it’s super dirty.

    Some of these are straight up dangerous or about to ruin your items and should be said in your video lol
    You shouldn't heat up anything in your air fresheners.. that's a fire hazard. Also breathing it in, especially if used in a wax warmer, is toxic.
    Dawn in your washer is a good way to ruin it. It's a DISH soap for a reason
    How did the car smell after the vinegar smell dissipated?

    • @RachPlusFive
      @RachPlusFive  2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I mention that these are “other people’s hacks” that I am testing to see if they work. I do disclaimer all of my testing videos so people understand the dangers of some of these.
      The Dawn is perfectly fine in the washer in small amounts. 1 to 2 tablespoons won’t hurt anything and will help remove stains.
      The car smelled like nothing once the vinegar smell disappeared but it did take a little bit for that strong smell to subside.

    Clorox bleach pen works best for those corners and small areas in the bathroom. You can let it set for a long while and come back to scrub but the consistency is great for those corners.
    We had to remove scented items from all of our household items, including shampoo and conditioners. A lot of people don’t realize the chemicals companies use to make those items. My husband was diagnosed with a rare blood disorder and we were told rid our house of benzene, which is in EVERYTHING. Especially scented items (and so many foods as well). He’s been on chemo and seems to be getting better but we never know the future. As a side note the drs will never be able to tell us what was the cause.
    Just wanting others to know to watch out for these things bc we don’t realize how much contact we have with these chemicals that are poisonous to us to our very core. Literally, core of your bones, your bone marrow, which is where your blood cells are created and keeps your immune system in check.

    Clorox mold and mildew has been my saving grace in an old shower for 10 years. It should be liberally sprayed on discolored and moldy areas in a well ventilated bathroom. Leave for an hour, scrub lightly and rinse. It seems silly, but **you have to shake the bottle Before use to develop the light foam!**

    As for the cleaning with the tide and Don combination… My grandmother always washed dishes with tide powder, we clean the house using tide powder, and when you’re done came into the picture she did combine done with both the tile for dishes and the cleaning. A part to note, in my opinion, is that you really need to rinse well if you’re going to use it on a mirror or a window or something where the glass factor can be altered the streaks.Just a simple damp rag with plain warm water on it, used after you wash with the cleansing solution, will do the trick. This works fair spot treatment on laundry, stains on wooden cutting boards, etc. And if you’re going to use the dawn power wash on anything, know that you were going to have to use more water to rinse it. This includes dishes.

    I love the idea of pods. BUT...newer appliances i.e. dishwashers and washing machines, are seeing a huge increase in repairs because of the plastic pods. I just got a new dishwasher. My family owned a plumbing and heating company for many years and wouldn't you know...the latest issues in the industry are repairing the damage done by the plastic pods. Of course I had just bought a JUMBO bucket of pods, but have gone back to the gel Finish dishwashing liquid. Just an FYI for anyone who may the same situation.
