I think Cass has received the message. She recently bought a house, dealt with several disasters involving said house, Orangize HQ, and the Take Your House Back course. That's not counting her family life. Sometimes when we have to make decisions quickly, we made a decision we would not have made had we known more. One of the things I love about Cass is she is real. She makes mistakes just like everyone else. Please don't unfollow over 1 video. She has worked so hard and I don't think she does hauls often.

Another youtuber I follow did a shein haul and people called her out in a similar way. This led to her completely changing the direction of her channel and admitting she'd only done the haul as pressure to come up with new content and that she hasn't felt comfortable with it either.

Call a chimney sweep or saturate 4 towels with cleaner. Attach each one to a mop pole. Scrub one side per towel as far down as you can and then drop it. Repeat on each floor. Let dry. Repeat again if the odor is still there. Use a small fan at the top of the shoot once clean to bone dry.

I tried to buy a necklace from an etsy seller in France, and I asked her to make a minor change to it before sending, she made some excuse about it, couldn't change it. Later I found the exact same necklaces on temu for less than $2. On etsy, it was $49. The packaging was the same. The quality was the same. It was a 5 star shop that has been operating for several years. But it was an absolute rip off. Those things weren't hand made in France. Not even a little. Temu isn't necessarily the Villan.

You mentioned in the intro that you were going to address the question of why Temu is so cheap, but you never got around to it. There are many reports from journalists who have visited their production facilities and believe that forced labor is used. Also customer service is supposedly awful. There has to be some reason why it’s so cheap and before featuring it in your popular channel, I think it would behoove you to do a little due diligence to explain prices that are too cheap for/any free market production, even in countries where labor is much cheaper than here.

Basically, if the prices seem too good to be true, then there's a catch. Alternatives: I furnished nearly my whole apartment off facebook marketplace, you just need to be patient. Bonus, most cities will have a no-buy group! Free stuff! Goodwill and similar can be reallllly hit or miss, but true consignment stores will have much nicer secondhand things that are still priced much less than new. I also like to hit yardsales when I have time, you can get cool stuff there.

Dear Cas, I just listened to your podcast where you talked about getting rid of all the Chinese junk from the house. And then I saw this video here. Temu uses gamification tools in their app to entice customers to make impulse purchases. Temu uses aggressive marketing techniques, regardless of whether they are legal in the respective country. If it's for free (or super cheap) probably you'r the product. Temu collects all your data and MUST give it to the Chinese government if they request it because it is a Chinese company. Other KZfaqrs have made videos about how much Temu offered them for hauls. That's insane. I don't even want to start talking about the conditions in the Chinese labor camps, the environmental pollution, etc. How does all of this fit together with what you say in your videos and podcast? About being conscious of your purchases and possessions? NOT to shop indiscriminately and blindly in order to fill your house with crap? Sure, a lot of the things in our stores are produced in China, I'm not criticizing globalization per se. But Temu only fuels everything that is wrong in this world and no one should actively support that.

IMO, there *are* some legitimate things worth complaining about regarding Temu, particularly in regards to some of their marketing practices (I haven't actually purchased anything from them, so no gripes there if only from lack of experience, but I've heard and seen some pretty deceptive marketing from them). BUT on the flipside, the number of people screaming "it's Chinese so it is always 100% evil and bad, support American made!!" are... I imagine Republican (US right-wing political party) and would support something like My Pillow (a different company with deceptive marketing practices (and other things worth complaining about), except it's American and also run by someone who's very loudly Republican) unquestioningly.

Unfortunately, Temu has a lot of slave labor products and the labor trafficking issues have been brought up to them a lot (it is why things are SO cheap, as you state). It is recommended to contact them to ask they fix their sustainable and ethical practices.

Oh Cas, I'm sorry about your laundry chute. I would use pet stain enzyme cleaner. Skout's Honor is my favorite. For the amount you will need I would grab the Shout Oxy Urine Destroyer from the pet section at Dollarama. Coat the sides from the top, let it sit, then try to push some old sheets or something down to wipe it after. I would avoid too much water because you don't want rust or mold.

Be interesting to see how the linen organisation works out when you start using it. It looks good for storing rarely used items but I imagine it will be annoying when it’s stuff you use regularly…. Getting sheets out of a zipped up bag and then getting pillow cases out of a box (with a lid) would be a recipe for disaster for me! (I keep each full set of bedding inside a pillowcase so it’s just one thing to grab from the cupboard when it’s time to change the bedding). The open boxes for towels look good though!

Oh Cass, I’m so disappointed with you promoting Temu. Not that long ago you were encouraging your subscribers to check out the thrift stores for great clothes and to not waste money on fast fashion. Multinational companies like Temu are egregious in their exploitation of their workers-mostly women-and are responsible for something like 10% of the world’s carbon emissions. Stores like Walmart and Dollar Tree have historically used exploited labor and contributed heedlessly to the climate crisis, but they are a now trying (maybe too little too late) to be accountable for the human rights violations and environmental impact of the manufacture of these cheap, cheap products we all keep buying. I believe most of us are now educated enough to take some responsibility for these problems and try to shop at retailers who are at least trying to do the right thing. We still love you! ❤

I made a comment under your last video (refreshing a home with little money) that „dirt cheap“ products are cheap for a reason - externalized social and environmental costs. You often promote these products without saying that people who can afford it (and yes, you certainly belong to them) should make more responsible choices. This video shows that it certainly was not an unfortunate exception or lack of knowledge. There are comments about it but you still promote even Temu? As someone who criticizes that we’re accumulating more stuff than we will ever need? That’s Temus core goal: Sell cheap stuff that you don’t need and that will go to the trash within weeks to make place for more trash. Sorry, I love your organization system, but I am out.

Housewares are also not great, the cord organizers I got from them did not last on my appliances. I will not order from them again.

Temu relies on KZfaqr's need for sponsors and have been using that to get their business looking good after their parent company had many violations and issues. Temu expects creators to be so excited about a sponsorship that they don't look into the company. They are making creators look bad while making their company look good. And as others have said, since it's China they don't worry about patents or who created a thing, they just pull stuff from people's websites and start making copies to sell.

I wouldn't use anything scented because it might mask the odor of anything left and you want to be sure there's nothing hanging around. Oh, and have your daughter help!!
