Your essential oil hack could be dangerous for skin. Really you should dilute a few drops of essential oil in a teaspoon/so of a base/carrier oil. SOME essential oils CAN be used directly on skin, others will burn your skin, & sometimes the damage can be permanent. Essential oils are 'natural', but you do need to follow some rules to make sure you are using them safely. I'm aware the way you were using it was different, but you still have to be careful to dilute it first. I'm a qualified aromatherapist btw. Another safer way is to use a sprinkle of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) in shoes, tap it out the next morning. Bicarb is great for eliminating odors and cleans & refreshes shoes. Same with carpets. Our daughter is allergic to/gets contact dermatitis to a lot of products, so we always make our own 'carpet powder' with plain old sodium bicarb and I often add food-safe orange extract, cinnamon powder or mint tea leaves to it to help 'perfume'/fragrance it. Works well!

Pro tip from a professional jeweler: use dish soap and cleaning ammonia instead of rubbing alcohol. This mimicks professional cleaning solution and won't ruin any jewelry. (Works even better in an ultrasonic cleaner too)

My daughter has played softball her entire life (now 17) travel ball, recreational ball, & school ball. I’d safely estimate that 90% of the teams she’s been on had WHITE as their either pant color or socks 🙄. One year while complaining about the insanity and trying to get and keep them clean all season long another mom told me to try a couple caps of MURPHY’S OIL (yes the hardwood cleaner) in the load of whites and they would come clean. I thought for sure that she was either crazy or without a doubt the oily residue left behind would make the laundry much worse but desperate I tried it and I was absolutely shocked at the results. It really works and doesn’t leave any residue. I actually use about 4 caps in all of my laundry now including my colors and my towels and it works amazingly. Way better than oxy clean or bleach or anything thing else I’ve ever tried. 😉

Another added benefit to your last hack about peppermint essential oil in the car: During this pandemic I drove a LOT less and there were times my car sat for weeks in the garage. I found out mice can find their way INTO your car (and mine is not an old model). My mechanic said there is no way to stop up all the potential openings. But mice are repelled by peppermint, so a few drops of peppermint on a cotton ball in your glove compartment has been enough to keep the mice out of my car. So no more nesting in my glove box. Whew!

Balsam Fir Oil is also a rodent repellent. There is a product made by “earthkind” for this reason, which has fir scented pouches of some kind of plant fibers. Of course these can be made at home.

With a fair degree of skepticism, I tried your hack for cleaning the overhead hood filters as that's been one of my pet peaves for quite some time. I've always used degreaser and have not been fully satisfied with results. To my very pleasant surprise, this hack did work really well. I used a cookie baking sheet instead of the bucket for the added benefit of getting it all done at one time. A quick rinse with hot water and done. Thanky you.

After soaking the shower head don’t just pour the vinegar down the drain. You can reuse it to freshen up your drain by first pouring down a quarter to a half cup of baking soda before pouring the vinegar in. Leave it sit for an hour or overnight if you’d like and then pour some boiling water through the drain. This will help clean out any grease and gunk that may be building up and help leave your bathroom smelling fresher.

My favorite DIY cleaning hack is equal parts hydrogen peroxide, dawn dish soap, and baking soda - this works on any stain on light colored clothing, but it absolutely removes the yellow under arm stains on men’s white undershirts. For years I struggled removing these yellow stains, and bleach only makes it worse. This is the only thing that has worked.

you mix all 3 ingredients, then apply and scrub gently with an out toothbrush and let sit for at least 1/2 hour. Then when you wash don’t use bleach - it actually doesn’t really whiten clothes all that well. The best whitener is a combo of 2 lemons and 1 cup each of washing soda and hydrogen peroxide - it is one of Melissa makers diy for whitener. However, I just use the juice from the lemons instead of the whole lemon (less messy that way).

My late grandma long before the Internet existed always talked about white vinegar for cleaning. As a tech, I always used rubbing alcohol on keyboards, mice, motherboards, etc and you only need a little bit because it dissipates quickly. I have used a chip brush on keyboards for years now to dust them off. Baking soda is great to get rid of odors on plastics and in glass jars so you can reuse them but it lightens the coatings on aluminum baking pans. I always put my earrings into the cap of rubbing alcohol before wearing them and then rinsed the cap out with hot water. I love the satisfaction of how things look after cleaning them and working with my hands in general. Thanks for sharing and have a great holiday.

While one is drying, wear the other pair. Another tip: if you find great tennis shoes on sale for your kids, buy a couple sizes up. You won't be caught off guard when their shoes no longer fit.

Top tip - To clean the inside of a dirty /greasy/cruddy microwave- fill a cup/mug half to 3/4 full of water, if you have any lemon or lime juice squirt some into the water (the juice isn't essential but will remove any nasty odours that are lingering inside the microwave) place the cup/mug in the microwave and switch it on high power for 5-10 mins. When it stops carefully open the door and with a heatproof glove or towel take the mug out BE CAREFUL THE MUG WILL BE. VERY HOT!! Take a clean cloth and simply wipe down the inside of the microwave. The steam from the boiling water softens ALL the grease and dried on burnt food meaning everything will come clean with one wipe, no need to scrub! If there are stubborn patches just repeat the process.If you want extra sparkle spray the inside and outside of the microwave with glass cleaner and polish with a dry cloth. Never scrub a microwave again! This method had NEVER failed me and I used it on the microwave that was in the canteen of the quarry where I worked, it was DISGUSTING, covered in burnt on food 🙈 it cleaned up like new 👍🏻

Keep a couple of heavy towels just for your dryer. Before adding clothes to dryer, add the towels and let them get hot; then add your wet clothes. When you put those towels in you dryer with wet clothes, you cut down the drying time. How does it work? The water from the clothes are transferred to the towels. Then everything takes less time to dry.

Don’t put dark clothes mixed in because towels can leave lint on them. My experience anyway.

I thought I came up with that idea 30yrs ago. If I'm doing dark clothing I'll put in a pair of jeans or something else dark and absorbing. But I'm trying to talk my Stubborn Step-father, (who, besides my help does the laundry at his house) into believing that it makes a big difference in saving time plus a bit of $ on gas & electric bills as well... But he won't 😥 Cuz he knows everything about Everything.... grrr🙄🤬Oh well

I love taking essential oils and putting them in a spray bottle with distilled water and spray in it on the carpet before I vacuum over it to deodorize the carpet. Great tips! Thanks for sharing!

@j.w8680 Ай бұрын

Disperse the essential oil in a tablespoon of vodka first, essential oils do NOT disperse in water alone.

The shower head tip is amazing! The other day, I was cleaning the house of one of my Turno clients. For those who don't know, Turno is an airbnb cleaning app, which means that lots of different people shower with the same shower head! I applied white vinegar when cleaning, and my client came to ask what I had done, because three guests had already praised the property's shower! Hahaha That tip is gold!

Yep, my granddaughter wears bucket hats...she has one for every outfit. Recently she ordered a bunch more canvas hats which were shipped, conveniently, in a vacuum sealed bag with every wrinkle welded into place. She was livid. She set the dryer on the lowest setting (ya don't want to shrink brand new hats), dampened a washcloth and tossed all the hats and washcloth in for 10-15 minutes. Wrinkles gone.

For cleaning the shower head you can also just put it in a bucket/bowl/tub if you’re someone who doesn’t have or use plastic bags. As long as it’s immersed it’ll do the job.

I got a container of Dawn Professional dish soap. It comes with a pump, and it's meant to be heavily diluted. This means that, for an average household, you probably won't use it very fast. I use it as my multi-purpose cleaner. I figure, if it works for dishes, it should work for just about anything. Right? We have glass dishes, stainless steel, plastic...if we know that this stuff is safe for those surfaces, might as well use them nearly everywhere. Plus, small children eat stuff off the floor all the time. Might as well make the floor safe to eat off of. :D (so, yes I use it on my floors as well)!

I believe that Dawn has chemicals in it, the producers of Dawn most probably started their own promotional campaign, I use Dr Bronner’s Sal Suds, a squirt goes a long way,(very sudsy) but absolutely chemical free which is the better choice for yourself and the environment. It might seem pricy but a little truly goes a long way!

As a runner who spends $120-$200 per pair of running shoes, it was physically painful to hear the suggestion of putting your shoes through the washer and dryer. Please, don’t do that. They use glue on parts of most shoes and the heat from the washer and dryer loosens the hold and eventually compromises the integrity of the rubber and foam components. Hand wash your shoes in cool to warm(not hot) water. I use oxyclean and laundry detergent. Then set them in front of a household fan. If you want to speed up the drying time, you can crumple newspaper’s and put it inside to help absorb extra water.

Wish I'd known that before I pulled out bits and pieces of broken/dried up shoe rubber from the drier and having to buy new ones. Then again, they were Very old and definitely cost less than 200. and I'm assuming minimizing the bumping around by hanging them in there would mitigate at least some damage. Willing to risk it with cheap sneakers but def not precious running shoes!

I had a male cat that sprayed my son's clothes that he always had piled up on the floor of his bedroom and I used apple cider vinegar ( not the more expensive organic stuff.. just the big jugs of regular ACV) and put one cup in per large load! Rarely, I would have to do two cycles because the first didn't quite take the smell completely out of the clothes! I also love Snuggle Super Fresh liquid fabric softener for getting stubborn smells out of towels, clothes, etc.! For wrinkles, a friend told me that when she takes her clothes out of the washer, she shakes them out just so they're not all bunched up before tossing them into dryer.. for jeans she holds them up by the waist with one hand and tugs fairly firmly on the bottom of the legs to pull out the bigger wrinkles before tossing into dryer! I have done this for years now and works very well!

I love all the cleaning hacks. I especially like the diy cleaners. They clean great and without the harsh chemicals. You always have great tips and tricks. I don’t know if you talked about this already, but one thing I do after I vacuum either with my stick vacuum or my big corded vacuum is I clean the dirt cup and wash the filters after each use. I always have extra filters on hand so I don’t have to wait for the others to dry. It keeps your vacuum looking and working like new and I feel it greatly extends the life of the machine. It also keeps it from smelling bad. After all, vacuums are expensive and no one wants to keep having to replace them or having them not work well

Another great ice pack hack… Is to use white karo syrup and double bag it. If you have kids, it can be a fun project for them to add glitter or fun beads because it is thick and is fun. It is also very flexible and does the trick but is not as freezing cold as pure ice which isn’t good to put straight on the skin.

When you’re cleaning windows or mirror or glass, put half ammonia and half water in a squirt bottle.. spray what you’re cleaning with the ammonia mix then add one tiny drop of Dawn dish soap to the middle. Wipe your glass/mirror starting at the middle to smear the dish soap then wipe. There’s no streaks or anything when you’re done. I’ve been doing this for years and it works so well.

Love the stuff that actually works!! I'm not into the "hacks". Usually, it is not the "shortcut" they make it sound like. OR they will use the entire bottle of 5 products for 1 job. I rather just use the things that work, and TIME. Sometimes they need to sit a minute (or 5) before scrubbing/wiping. Less work, cleaner things. Great job, as always. Love your videos!
