I hope this may help but when I used to sell food containers, some would have a mold problem (especially bread keepers) and the solution that helped the most was a soak in a mixture of 1 part vinegar and 3 parts water. It's also good for a spray for mold problems in bathrooms. Not the best smelling stuff but vinegar is a natural mold killer and when it evaporates, it leaves a clean scent. This may help you keep your wooden cutlery and straws last longer

@helenmoore8743 6 жыл бұрын

Just soak wooden items about 15 minutes and other items like cups and such for up to an hour. It won't remove mold stains. You would need some sort of bleaching agent for that.

Since a couple of weeks I took a beautiful bag in Spain (cheaper since I live near the frontier) and I filled it with essential for moving around : a glass bottle 2,32€ at a decoration store, a set of fork/spoon/knife in steel, my stainless steel staw... and periodic protection (washablepad, some organic tanpom if a friend needs it), some organic sun screen since it’s summer! And my bluetooth speaker to enjoy music everywhere

I really must get some small produce bags! I drink lemon water every day so each week I buy 7 lemons. I usually try to make a little wall around them on the conveyor belt at the supermarket to make life easier for the assistant but I have lost count of the times it turns into a game of ‘hunt/chase the lemon’ 😂😂. These videos are really informative and I hope they are encouraging more people to adopt a zero/low waste lifestyle.

@lindatait5326 6 жыл бұрын

Louise C Most staff are happy to join in the game but occasionally I get the ‘stink eye’, maybe they have had too many rude customers that day and my lemons are the final (hopefully reusable) straw 😂 I think supermarkets are missing out by not selling produce bags, not only would that make them a profit but they would save money on having to provide those awful plastic ones.

@marsattacks9929 5 жыл бұрын

instead of buying ready made produce bags its a better idea to upcycle some old sheets or pillow covers, with just a little bit of sewing they can easily become a string bag to take with you anywhere! im thinking of doing that since i have a lot of old sheets lying around and i know some people who also have too many. you can also use the fabric to make small reusable tea bags. good luck!

I also want bamboo/wooden cutlery but IDK how to maintain them 😭 I feel like they will easily get mold. I use stainless steel utensils right now. They’re heavier, but they’re easier to maintain and they can last for a long time.

Hey, great video (I adore these types)! Since watching your videos (roughly six months), I’ve made so many little changes that went over so, so well. I have gone almost 100% paperless (I can’t avoid some papers due to the nature of my school and career, but I can avoid it for personal use which is where I am) and I have gone to a totally zero waste period (this one really makes me happy, because it’s so much easier if I’m honest). Alongside that, I have gotten a bento kit (so flatware is included), a tea mug (still need to find a lovely coffee one but my mum steals mine which is how I have none), a cup for non-water drinks, and a lovely water bottle that’s proceeds went to conservation of wildlife. This lifestyle is a good egg, thank you for your information.
