I have been sewing for about 50 years. I would have never thought to hem the curtains as they hang in place! Genius!

@leah__gail Ай бұрын

I throw a sheet on the bed or couch etc when I’m cleaning ceiling fans to catch any dust that may fall. The pillow case trick does work!

@thediymommy Ай бұрын

Good idea!

@gingereaves4097 27 күн бұрын

I do that, too!

@AcornHillHomestead Ай бұрын

Green Machines are the bomb. Also great for cars. Dust the fan when changing sheets and toss in washer. If done regularly theres not enough dust to worry about getting on the bed sheets. The pillow trick is too much hassle.

@kinneman85 Ай бұрын

Great hacks, thank you for sharing. Another hack for wrinkled sheets, dry them on low instead of medium heat. I find this works not only for sheets, but also for shirts that tend to wrinkle easily.

@deborahstone9696 Ай бұрын

Best way to clean fake plants is throw them in a shower. Remove when dry!!😂❤❤❤

@cathycoryell2351 28 күн бұрын

Having a shower wand, makes cleaning many things much easier. A little bit of pressure from the shower water (massage setting) , works so much better vs. Scrubbing and wiping, or the lower pressure at a sink.

@kathyorourke9273 Ай бұрын

You can use lemon or orange oil to remove labels.

@evecv9569 Ай бұрын

Great Ideas, Thanks! Just a suggestion. Be careful with the linen spray in your rental. A lot of people are allergic to some odors or essential oils, and it will be very harmful for some guests.

@thediymommy Ай бұрын

Thank you! We don't use it in our rentals.

Agreed, our last Airbnb stay was aweful for me, just because of the fragrance that was sprayed on the bed

I have a dilemma that I'm sure you have a hack for. The feathers in my feather pillow inserts, after some use, start to poke through. They are uncomfortable to lean against and scatter all over! I have purchased fabric and made an additional liner but it still happens. Any thoughts?

I had another influencer say that it is too harsh and will break down the grout. Once or twice would probably be fine, though!

@JandKG Ай бұрын

All beautiful ideas. Thank you so much for sharing your creativity with us❤ question: I'm painting my kitchen cabinets and having a hard time choosing between Behr whisper white and polar bear. My walls are already painted in Ultra Pure white - would Whisper white look good? I wanted a little warmer white. I already read your blog on the Behr whites! And still having a hard time deciding I would so appreciate your suggestions! Thank you!!❤❤❤

@thediymommy Ай бұрын

I'd personally do something even a bit warmer like Behr Swiss Coffee, but it really depends on your lighting and personal taste. Paint a swatch in a large piece of paper and tack it to your walls to get the best idea of how it'll look!

@JandKG Ай бұрын

@@thediymommy Thank you so much for your suggestions!❤️❤️❤️

@texasstardust6010 Ай бұрын

... although I am just a Rsndom Commenter ... I suggest using a Cabinet Paint made expressly for that Application.. ; I know Behr makes a Product just for this purpose, and I'm sureyou'ree aware of this .....and although Swiss Coffee is a " warmer Colour " .. I think it actually looks better on walls, than Cabinets, but that's a personal choice. .There are quite a few options of " Warmer Whites " if you're looking for that hue to paint your Cabinets. She is correct in painting a large swatch .. I recommend " living with that for at least a Week " ... and see how you like it, since the colour will change due to lighting and different times of Day. ( I am a former Professional Painter).

@JandKG Ай бұрын

@@texasstardust6010 thank you so much!! I really don't want a white that pulls yellow and having a difficult time choosing. I really appreciate your suggestions and willingness to share your knowledge on this topic ❤️

@texasstardust6010 Ай бұрын

@@JandKG ...My pleasure. 🙂😊... I hesitated a moment, before Commenting, ... But I thought I want her to be aware of the Undertones.And you really don't want something that's going to pull yellow or brown or orange , something like that, if thats not what youd prefer. .. the Undertone will give either ' warmer " or " cooler " tones. The Hue value is the " origin " of a Colour , and from there, it is " Tint, Tone ,and Shade ".. so I hope this helps you in choosing a Colour to try out. I always recommend ( and did ) at least 3 different Colours to do a Swatch on the same wall, to best determine what can actually work...and what the Client preferred. ..if none worked,.. pick other Tints/ Tones and go from there. That old saying " Its just paint" is true and it often takes a few times to find what works for the Space. the desired Look and what Compliments the Surrounding areas as well. Also.. depending on where you are located.. factors such as humidity, etc are considerations for when you paint, as far as dry time/ curing time ,🙂😊 Happy Painting !

Pull your dryer out and detach the back (not sure how to do that on the newer driers) there will be so much more lint throughout the entire dryer that you cannot get to anyway else. It is frightening.

Hanging them on the line also gives great wrinkle free results. Also freshens, sanitizes, whitens without bleach. I use washing soda. We have a vacation rental and I never use bleach yet have the whitest sheets.
