Been thrifting for 30 years and I was nodding at you and saying, “yess!!” all the way through the video. 😂
I’d rather hit thrift stores than a mall all day any day.
That pendant light rocks!!
All my designer suit jackets come from Goodwill $3 each. I've had them at least 15 years. Made well. Machine wash then hang to dry. I've paired them with pants, skirts and dresses too. Classics. Never go out of style. Love them.
Heads up for those who are new to thrifting: I've been thrifting for 20+ years and never had an issue with bugs, so don't be frightened by the idea of them. You might come across a dead bug every now and then, but live ones are rare. Just don't get nasty looking cloth furniture, and be vigilant about cleaning hats and scarves. Or, just don't get certain items, just like MaCenna. ☺️
Yassss!!!!!! Thank you 🥰
How do you clean your hats?
@@tpine2504 If it's something soft like a beanie, those can go in the washing machine. Some caps can handle that as well. For firmer hats like snapbacks and fedoras, you can soak/wash hats by hand in the sink with some hot water and detergent. Rinse it off with cold water to help it maintain it's shape. (Optional: After you rinse off the hat, dry it with a hair dryer on hot to help disinfect it even more. Just keep the hair dryer in motion so you don't overheat the fabric.) If the hat is made of leather, I would recommend googling instructions on how to clean it. Leather tends to be more high maintenance than other fabrics, and every type of leather has different cleaning instructions.
I keep CV 48 aerosol on hand for any type of insects , this is a Barn Spray .
It also comes in a convenient automotive timed sprayer so if you want you can hang it in s garage and leave any questionable items in the garage to be treated Over several days .
I've been thrift shopping forever and never had an issue either, I have a matching to wash right and sofas, so I put things in my garage and wash things in there before bringing it in the house. You can even rent a machine at lows or home depot, of course if the items are worth it
The "what's it worth to you" advice was sooo good! I paid 14$ for a woodturned vase at Value Village and it was my favorite buy ever, I bought a huge fake bamboo tree for 12,50$ on a 50% sale in another thrift store, did I overpay for that vase?! Sure! But it was still worth it to ME. ;)
YASSSS!!! It is totally about what it’s worth to the person!!! 🥰
Yes! That's what I was saying to myself too. I often pass on items that I like simply because the items are more than I'm willing to pay. Unfortunately I find that some thrift stores price the items far too high. I'd like to ask them if they want to sell it or store it? 🤔🤔👎👎
I am a thrifter + a diyer in the uk + my style is vintage farmhouse. You are the only youtuber I follow whose style is boho + I love your flips. I am doing a makeover to my granddaughters bedroom to a grownup boho bedroom as she is soon to be 14. She has no idea but all my inspiration has come from your channel so thankyou!
There's something about 'display books' that really bothers me. I guess it's the epitome of superficial to only want a book for what it looks like on display, not what's inside it!
I'm the same I can't imagine putting books out that I have never read or no intention of reading. In my opinion there are plenty of other things a person could use for display purposes. I actually thought when people had books on shelves they read them lol silly me I guess.
yeah.... and alternatively, wrap real books in a nice jacket so they look cute as display but also carry reading value.
I won’t buy books even if I like the way they look Bc I know I’ll never read them lol.
I feel the same way. Books are meant to read and if they are just for display, it seems like clutter. I have a feeling this will be a trend that will go away at some point.
I feel like you’re the type of friend that I would be able to sit at a coffee shop and talk to for 4 hours and feel like no time’s passed. Thanks for your content!
random object:
Macenna: ...................... PENDANT LIGHT!
Hahaha you know me so well!! 😂
😂😂 so true
Haha that's how I think as well
Right?!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
She is like "I see it, I like it, I want it, I DIY it" 😂😂
The canned air that you would clean a keyboard with works great on baskets
Oooo yes!! Great idea
Good idea! I normally will vaccum baskets with a brush head on the hose!
I wash them by hand and put them outside to air and they come out great. helps to reshape a bent basket as it gets very pliable when wet.
@@XOMaCenna .qkklka
And when u huff it u feel like " You're walking on sunshine."
Another cleaning tip is Lysol sanitizing detergent!
Ooo thank you!!!
Alexis Herman or antiseptic spray.
Lysol is loaded with unsafe chemicals. I use diy cleaners
@@midnight713 Me too. Usually vinegar, baking soda, salt and stuff like such cleans perfectly well and the vinegar is a natural germ killer.
“Patiently”(anxiously) waiting to buy a house hopefully this year to put all your DIY tips in action!!!! You make me want to do a whole makeover to my apt buttttt I’ll wait! ♥️
Right? I feel the same way.
"Worth it to you" is amazing advice!
Yay!! So glad it resonated because it’s totally true!!! 🥰
My mom will often say things like I don't like this for 10 dollars. It's only worth 5 to her, so she doesn't get it.
I know. I love that people at the thrift store leave things behind because they don't like them or the price and they are just waiting there for me to get them. I seem to have a taste very different from the mainstream and have a lot of sight to see items past their condition at the moment when I find them. And my thrift stores here have a lot of odd items which is a bonus.
Funny first thing u said you avoid is throw pillows! It’s literally first place I look..check if it’s down..if so snap it up, throw out or wash the cover and put a new cover on it. Voila! New down filled high end look pillow!
It’s so fun looking back and seeing how much you guys have grown in your business and in your skills ❤
Tips, mini haul, and flip?!?! You’re spoiling us!!
Great video as always!!!
Hahaha I was giving it alllllll 🥰
ok I'm sure you get this A LOT but you totally look like an Olsen twin! :) Also I absolutely love your advice on how to thrift and how to figure out what you need.
Instead of ruining a piece by drying it on high heat, use a steamer instead. Steam will kill a lot of bugs and bacteria. We use steam all the time.
Erin Dixon awesome thank you! would this also be good to remove any “second hand” smells? particularly on woollens too? (I’m new to second hand shopping 🙈)
Autumn Harbour I’ve heard that sunlight helps??? Plus if you are able to leave it outside the smells will leave you know? Not sure if sunlight is true but I’ve just seen some stuff about it!
@atumnharbor, the heat of the sun will probably not get rid of the smell. Hanging a garment in the shade and letting it air out for a while works but you can do the same thing in your home on a shower rod. The point is to get air flow around the garment so the scent has a chance to decompose. Washing an item and hanging to dry works too if the item is washable. One other tip: to remove rust, use lemon juice on the rust spots and hang the item in a sunny window. It may take a few repeated applications of lemon juice but the rust will disappear. Rinse or wash the item in cold water to remove the lemon juice. This is the gentlest way I know for rust removal.
@@Autumn-zt1yx Wool isn't fond of heat and friction, but sometimes you can get away with using one if you don't also use the other. Test steam on an inconspicuous spot and let it dry completely before steaming the whole piece.
Great job on the lamp! I always enjoy seeing your makeovers and creativity! Just an idea for cleaning old rugs, use a steam cleaner after baking soda and vacuuming. Also vinegar can get out old stains out of dishes and glasses, if you let it soak overnight! Another thing you can use is a mixture of water and tea tree oil and spray on wicker. Not sure if this is okay if you have animals, maybe check what the internet says about this.
Thank you so much for the great tips!!!!! 🥰
I found a winged back rattan chair from goodwill for $35. I was so excited about that find. Those chairs are usually so expensive!
WOW!!!! 😍 amazing find
Another advantage to buying at thrift stores is that often times your purchases are supporting important causes.
💯
As someone who works at a thrift store I want to let everyone don’t worry so much about bed begs, its very rare that thrift stores get them and we know what to look for so we don’t put our things with bugs out on the sale floor. Just be care. Buy furniture that looks clean and febreeze them when you get home!
Loved the video, Macenna! ♥ Just a couple of FYIs - you can totally wash baskets; just don't leave them soaking. They do smell funny until they dry, but it works fine. Also, washing smelly fabric in really hot water will kill germs, but it will not necessarily take out odours. Hot water can set smells. I wash everything in cold water and it works great, saves money, and is better for the fabric. If that doesn't take out smells, the best way is to hang them outside for a few hours. Nothing like sunshine and fresh air to get rid of bad odours. :) Hope that's helpful!
Plus add vinegar in normal fabric softener place or time. Not only is it great for smells but reduces static like a softener sheet or liquid it's healthier for you and don't worry after dryer the vinegar smell is gone!
@@soysan34 you are right! I always use vinegar in place of fabric softener. Vinegar is good for so many things and is all natural...and cheap! :D
You turn the weirdest things into the coolest pendant lights 😍🥰
It’s so fun 🥰
In case you’re still curious, the wire thing looks like a bird feeder cage. Something to try to keep squirrels out of the bird feeder. Find them at places like Wild Birds Unlimited.
That Austin list is perfect for me! Especially since Top Drawer is right down the street. 😊
O yay!!!! So glad it was helpful 🥰
I love thrifting! I can say I've been doing it all of my life, if you consider going to garage sales, thrift stores, auctions as a child. You're lamp looks beautiful! Happy Thrifting!
The pottery and glass objects were new to me 55 years ago! At 75 years young I still love to thrift shop!!
6:30 those green goblets in the background so wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank God they arent here in Texas cuz I truly do not need any more glasses.
Love your videos! As for baskets I buy I totally submerge them in hot soapy water and let them dry naturally and spray with lysol and I have never damaged a basket. Try it!
Ooooo that’s amazing!!!! I’ve tried it before and mine warped and I had to reshape it 😕
I do the same, if it's coming into my home it's headed to my shower first then if nice out I take it outside into the 🌞
I always wash any cane items in warm soapy water. Use a small brush with soft long bristles to get into crevices. Work fairly quickly. Don’t let soak in the water as this will soften the cane and it will loose its shape. Water hyacinth baskets will get mushy and fall apart. Rinse in water and put outside in sun if possible .You can speed things up by using an old towel to wipe it down first.
@@soysan34 that's great advice. Most people don't realize that sunshine is a great natural disinfectant. If I get ill, I make sure to keep all the curtains open and get outside in the fresh air as much as I am able and I always feel much better, way quicker.
I like it how you talk to quietly that you don't bother the other shoppers. Some TH-camrs are actually talking so loud especially when in shops. 💕 Stay humble!
I'm a big collector of baskets, some I keep, some I give away or sell. I have found that you can submerge them in water, even soapy water. But you can't let them soak in water. I put mine in, swish it around until I don't smell the dust anymore. Then I rinse and put upside down on a cloth to dry. Sometimes if the basket is a little misshapen when I purchase it, I will put it in hot water and leave it a little longer. You can reshape some baskets and stuff them with towels to adjust their shape. I've never had one fall apart after words. I even wash the baskets if they've been sitting on my shelf and collected dust. I've done this with reed, grass, seagrass, wood, rattan, wicker, bamboo..... and probably others, I just can't remember them all. I can assure you that none have ever fallen apart. Try it with a cheap easter basket that you're not attached too. That way you can see for yourself. Love, love, love your video's. They are my go to on youtube lately.
I love that your dad helped you with the cutting 😂👌🏻 I'd probably ask my dad or my brother too
It was sooooooooo helpful having him and the tools!!!! I was like WOWWWWW
I've just started thrifting with my sister, we've hit up all the ones in our town and are starting to broaden our horizons to surrounding towns, we love it, so many good finds and 70% cheaper than new, we dont need new, love the video
Yasss!!!! 🙌🏼
You really don't need new, right? I've found wonderful finds for such great prices!
Pendant light...who would of thought??? MaCenna- that's who! Looks great!
I literally love how you simplify everything. You extremely creative but you don’t try to make everything super complex or making it more difficult. I feel like you make it fun & simple while being creative!
I love thrifting for pretty much everything: clothes, shoes, jewelry, purses, books, wall art, home decor, and dishes! I don't really thrift flip because I am not crafty like that but I do just like finding great items at the thrift store as is or in really great condition! So, I agree with all your reasons why thrifting can be a an awesome thing to do! I see it as a really fun treasure hunt if you will! The only item I would "flip" is a framed piece of wall art where I could spray paint it a different color- I regret not picking up this one piece that would have been for my daughter's room. The wood frame was painted a light green but the art itself was pretty pinks and blues. I didn't even think of it at the time to spray paint the wood part white but now I know and will consider that the next time I see a piece like that at the thrift store! That is a great tip about heating or freezing thrifted items to kill germs but I have never done that and have fared fine so far. I have just cleaned items with sanitizing wipes and Lysol spray! I am so jealous of your flips; I wish I could be just as crafty but never caught on to it
I love that you made this video because a lot of you tubers go thrift shopping but no one goes into these questions and gives advice like this
Hurray, I couldn’t wait for that 😍
Couple of questions as a newbie from your bedroom makeover video :
1) IYHO which pendant light looks better with your bedroom, kodal one or 🏺 shaped one?
2) what size of canvas did you use and from where we can buy it cheaper?
3) what colors and brushes I have you used for those canvas?
4) what bedsheet set (golden one - color and if possible link) you used for that look?
5) can we use the given link Duvet on top of my exisiting comfortor?
Hi!! Sure thing!!
1. Both lights look really great although I’m about to swap to the Kodak because I love them so much.
2. I get my canvases from Blick art Supply I find they have the best pricing. But I can’t remember exactly the size. I can measure when I get home.
3. I get my brushes from blick as well. I used a pretty wide one. Acrylic paint colors are solid Mars Black (blick brand) & parchment (from Michaels)
4. I got the bedsheets from home goods so I don’t have a link.
5. Yes the cover slips right over your comforter in the size that you need 🥰
XO, MaCenna appreciate your prompt response. 😇
My wedding anniversary is coming on 18th Feb and since its a long weekend, I am planning to give surprise my wife with bedroom makeover(inspired by your videos) in our newly rented apartment. Hopefully she would like that 🥰
Thanks again for all guidance and interesting videos ☺️
Best thing for basket dust is spray air duster for keyboards. If u must use something...for those and silk trees and silk plant dust use a spray bottle with 2/3 vinegar to 1/3 water. Vinegar and baking soda to wash stains off carpet and fabrics. For tough stains on carpet or rugs use vinegar and baking soda to scrub the stain then take a dry old towel (or one u can bleach later) and an iron on top of towel over wet spot low to med heat depending on how thick towel is and the towel will absorb the stain. Also dollar general makes a degreaser called purple power for 5 dollars it's about 2 gallons worth. It works amazingly for tough greasy spots above stove or on dishes pots pans and the top parts of stove. U can use it to mop as well. Also use it in sink with hot water and soak your metal mesh-like vent filters from your stove vent for 8 hours and rinse. Theyll be like new without the price tag. From a Mom of 7 and professional housekeeper and cna. I say that bc everything I mentioned using is safe for asthma, children, pets, etc. I have tons of other tricks for cleaning tons of other stuff but thought I'd mention a few even easier things u can do related to your video. Also, for smells in furniture or clothes u can use vinegar. For dresser put a bowl of it n each drawer or u can use vodka. Then let it sit a few days. U can dampen a cloth and wipe it down as well afterward. It absorbs smells. I also redo furniture so that's a little trick for getting musty smells out. Like if u forget a load of washed wet clothes n washer for a few days...wash again with a couple cups of vinegar and your reg detergent. U should also be cleaning your washing machine at least every 3 months by putting on a cycle to clean but just put baking soda and vinegar in alone. .dont do this daily. It can eat your metal if used by itself daily. Love your videos! When will u do another with lone wolf? Loved that!
Instead of using alcohol, since it can be expensive. I find a basin full of 50% hot water 50% vinegar will take of almost and stuck on mess and makes glasses and almost anything shine.
I need that cleaning video! Also I *really* love that light - impressive flip.
When she said Kerrville and Boerne I was like wait how did she name small towns nearby. Forgot you were a fellow Texan😂💜
I did the same thing. I had to go back and listen again.
ong i saw ur dad and I wanted to hug him. he reminded me of my favorite teacher ever. congratulations on this channel 👏
Nooo..I was redecorating my lounge, and am late to the party.. Bah!!
Edit : I grew up in the 60's and 70's, living in places like Portugal and Germany, so baskets and beautiful pottery, macrame and beads, layered carpets and lots of pillows were all the norm..and I never grew out of that style, so much so that I was always thought of as a hippy! It's wonderful that all of it is back and everyone thinks I'm right on trend!! 😁 😁 😁
Oh, wow, the lamp is gorgeous! I made a pendant lamp out of one those seagrass baskets that you can use as a tote, with a edison bulb, and it turned out stunning!
Yasssss so on trend!!!!!
Mog-Gyver O'Neill I love that style also,my hubby always calls me a hippie especially when I run my essential oils diffuser ( he hates the smells)
I love your sense of style and also your viewer name.
I have some amazing luck at the thrift store. I found a nice Vera Wang sweater for $2! 😳 I love it so much!
WOW!! 😍 amazing find
Okay, I try to not give into the pretty books thing but DAMN those cook books. Those colors 😍 I felt your joy on that one.
Hey Macenna! That gorrilla glue epoxy works a lot better if you squeeze the product out onto another surface, like a pallette or scrap of cardboard, and mix it really well with a stick. Do that for about 30 seconds and then apply it with a toothpick or I use an old knitting needles, and then clamp the two pieces together. Then it should bond together more securely than the hot glue! Best of luck!
I always bathe thrift baskets . I use Dawn dishwash liquid. You could add alcohol and let them soak in the sink for 5 min. The water comes out black. They stay their shape because it’s only once. You can use the sprayer gently if your afraid of the bath. You’ll be glad you did
My grandpa has had a vintage resell shop for 60+ years and he ALWAYS leaves things in his car at the very least overnight, and then another day on the covered porch before taking them to his shop. He's really proud of the fact he has never gotten bugs or brought bugs anywhere! They will die in the heat or the low temps of the car. It is like an oven or refrigerator, and the off chance something lives to make it to the covered porch it wanders off or gets eaten by the birds. At the very least things need to be left out overnight before you bring them into your place.
I often wash baskets in soapy water, most of them can take it as long as you can dry them fairly fast. In the summer I just set them in the sun and in colder months I set them on top of a floor register. As long as they are constructed well it's a great way to clean them.
I’m so super excited! I ordered my Kodak slide trays from EBay ! I can’t wait to do your hanging lamps! I love thrifting and flipping and love all your inspos vids! 😍😍 by the way you are the PENDANT LIGHT QUEEN!!!!! 💖💖
Yay!!! It’s literally my favorite flip I’ve done 😍
XO, MaCenna I’ll have to post on insta once I get them together....I’m making a set for my bedroom.
I saw them in my local thrift store and immediately thought of that DIY. Such an original idea!
this is one of my favorite videos of yours!!! Love these tips and something about your whisper/shopping voice is so soothing 🥰😂
OMG! That light is so Pottery Barn! Genius!!!
YASSSS!
Great video! Loved the map of stops in my area of TX. You saved me a lot of work !😆 I also had to chuckle watching you use your mom’s or dad’s architectural scale. I still have and use mine from college when I was getting my BA in ID. Fun to see it in this CAD dominated world.
Yay so glad it was helpful!!! Hahah yeah they still hand draw all their plans!!
Every Goodwill runs different sales on different days.
The tall wire basket is used for holding canes and umbrellas by the front door.
Thank you for sharing✌💛☺
The dessert glasses you found were premiums (get them free with minimum purchase) either at Shamrock stations or local grocery stores. Each week was a different piece, because I recall getting the goblets that went with those dessert glasses and there may have been iced tea glasses as well. Early 70s when I was a young bride in Texas. P.S. I love the Hill Country!
I have my own little tip, on my first lap around the salvage yard or local thrift I take my camera phone and snap a picture of anything I might buy. After the quick overview I look at my pictures. It’s easy to forget a major treasure. I shop at a architectural warehouse and that’s huge so I also snap the aisle and the object.
Ahhhh I recognize those thrift stores from my hometown! Aaaand that cage is from a bird feed store I used to work in!!!
Do you know what the cage is called?
Worth it to you was great advice! I bought a world market tray (it was pink but it still had the original price sticker on it) for 4.99 and the original price was $30! With a little cleaning and painting it is now my coffee table center piece and I love it!
I buy baskets every time I go to my favorite thrift store. I hand wash or if it’s a thick large basket I hit it with water hose and let air dry. They always dry okay. You have the best ASMR voice too 🤣❤️
Stumbled upon your pod n I'll be stumbling back! Love the lamp!
Seriously you are the DIY pendant light queen.
You can wash most baskets. Some that are painted or lacquered cannot. You still can be sprayed quickly with hose or sink sprayer.
Lovely lady
Please kindly continue posting your much appreciated videos even in these challenging times Blessings
Oooh, that light came out super cool!!
Oh! I just love it when TH-camrs include their parents
Wow the light was beautiful
And I got my dad's tools and my dad. He seems really kind. Great tips on thrifting.
Those cookbooks about 7 minutes in were to die for 😩
We moved this year and I made it goal to thrift all our furniture and I have gotten so many cool pieces and so cheap! I'm really loving getting to renew old pieces to fit the space. 💖
I want to know how she looks at random stuff like a metal cage and turns it into a gorgeous pendant light. Like how?!!! Honestly this was one of my favs and I can’t wait to see more💕
The cage was homemade and looks like it was made for a vegetable plant to be potted in. Possibly to hang upside down.
Love the lamp!!
I keep an old toothbrush specifically for when I thrift something that has decades worth of dust in the nooks and crannies. If you try to wash something like that without getting the dust off first you often end up with this nasty dust paste when it gets wet so I'll dry brush it to get the bulk of the dust off first before any water goes near. Dry brushing is also good for baskets.
For me trifting is like treasure hunting. You can find unique pices for the fracture of original prices.
Junk hunter from UK😉
Yasssss 🥰
Really?which shops do you go?
I'm obsess with your makeup ! 😊
Aww thank you so much!! I actually filmed a makeup video yesterday for IGTV. I’ll have it live this week @macennalee on Instagram 🥰
Nice tips MaCenna! Ive been thrifting for many years now, after a while you get the hang of it, you use your creativity muscles! It's good to go regularly. My mom comes with me sometimes but she always say she never finds things... Well, I don't always find either! But I'd say 95% of my home is thrifted. Also, I like how professional your DIYs look at the end, not like most TH-camrs with their botched ones.
That cage you made a pendent light from was a tomato cage wire.
I have never found bugs thrifting nor do I buy clothes very much, but I have bought pillows as decor but I personally never lay on them, I like the idea of washing the clothes before I bring them home,
You are the thrifting QUEEN!! I love the simplicity of your thrift flips!
Thank you so so much 🥰
I thrift pillows but only if I can unzip the pillow cover, because I can then wash the pillow cover or take it to the dry cleaners. I throw out the pillow insert and sometimes buy a new down pillow insert (which are not very expensive) if the cover doesn’t fit an existing pillow (it usually does). Essentially I’m buying the pillow for its cover.
I would have painted the back of the wood pieces with a gold or copper paint to be reflective when the light was on. You do create amazing pendant lights!
That light is awesome! Great job!❤️❤️
I’m buying a house in the next month or two and you inspire me to do a lot of my own decor! I love watching your videos and now I go thrifting all the time!
You are the queen of pendant lights.
That lamp was so creative!
Amazing video! I really appreciate videos like these that are high quality, clear, and detailed. You can always tell when someone puts in a lot of effort and love into their content; and it pays off! Thank you 😊
For the pendant light, I believe it was a hamper basket from its previous life... LOL 😁
lots of ❤ from PH
Think we’ve found out it’s for gardening 🍅
Or maybe an Umbrella Stand... ? 🤔
@@XOMaCenna could be.. but trellis for tomatoes shouldnt have the bottom part. Either way, its cute and its in my alley. We're also happy you had a great time in the PH esp in Cebu 😍
Honestly, how do you even come up with these ideas sometimes?? When you said you were going to turn that into a pendant light, I was like um... that is going to look questionable. But holy cow, it looks SO GOOD at the end! You're simply magical!
Reading those books is a really great idea!
The cage is the top part of a squirrel proof cage that fits over top of a bird feeder! There's a bottom part that usually comes with it. It's part of the On Guard cage from Wild Birds Unlimited. definitely pricey, but I love love love feeding the birds so I have one! Great job repurposing yours!
I like that you mentioned items you wouldn't buy at a Thrift Store. My no-nos are shoes! My BFF buys most of her shoes at thrift stores and I just go "yuk!" LOL
The light is adorable!
Love the lamp. You are so talented!
Omg thank you so much 🥰
That pendant light is fantastic! 🤩💡Thrifting is such a treasure hunt! 🔎🗺
Thanks so much 🥰
Wow the pendant light is Like a Pro !
Great Job !!
I want those green glasses at 6:27! Would look great on a Christmas table!
Your dad helping you, so cute!!!!!
I love thrifting! I do all of your guide tips. The pendant light is so cool!
Your little dog is doing everything to get a camera shot. 🐾
if you want to clean off glass (pyrex/anchor hocking especially!) that has stuff built up that won't come off with washing, scrubbing, soaking, etc use oven cleaner in a WELL VENTILATED SPACE following directions. Takes it right off :)
Omg I just found your site !! I follow quite a few channels but you are my new go to !! Love your presentation style !!
