Great hacks Just to let people know lost socks can end up in the washing machine behind the drum So it is true the washing machine ate the sock saying is true lol Or sometimes they do get lost socks like in ur bed lol
May I add a tip? I flip to Nov. or Dec. when I get a new calendar in Jan. for the upcoming year. I write in Nov. or Dec. (whichever works best) what items I need for the holidays. Napkins or tableware or gift tags-those types of things. So when I flip to the months with special holidays I can purchase what I need because by then I will have definitely forgotten what I needed, and the items are listed on my new calendar.
Great idea. Maybe write recipes or copy recipes and glue it over the pages that most likely will not use. Sometimes it has a notes page. Also jot down where you put all of those items that you will need. Lol.
We've lived in a 1960 built house for 7 years. As we replace Ceiling fans, light fixtures, etc my goal is always "easy to clean (and change light bulbs if applicable). My Husband was like "You don't want the pretty ornate stuff?" No. Lol.
As always…amazing useful and practical.I have stupidly high ceilings that like to gather cobwebs so right from the start you were talking my language. I literally squealed when you did the section on rechargeable lightbulbs lol - for both the decor and for the powercut situation 😂 I’ve used so many of your tips before, can add all of these to my bank of knowledge now 👏 (Also amazing imagery of the sock/tab commune with acoustic guitar and hippy vibes combo)
I have never, ever saved a home hacks video - until now. The first one I plan to use is the heavy duty broom in the showers. We have stone floors in them and I scrub them by hand with a small brush. I'm 72 and it's not always easy for me. There were a couple of others - like the over-the-door hangar for outside and that glue stuff to keep things from sliding.
You can get toilets that have fewer bends and awful places you can only clean if you kneel in front of them and “hug” them. Some are called one-piece toilets. They also sell 1-click removable seats.
Lol! I did that with lip gloss, markers etc if I needed to jot down a number and couldn't find a pen!! Went to my daughter's house and all her mirrors were lined with notes and numbers lol!
Great idea. I often have notes surrounding my mirror held on by magnetic clips. There’s not much metal there so they often slip. Dry erase markers will be so much easier.
My favorite hack you shared today is using upside-down command hooks on your kitchen garbage can to keep the bag from slipping down inside your can. And I store my plastic shopping bags inside a Rubbermaid cereal container - easy to put in/take out, and it takes up very little space.
Lots of great ideas here! An instant pot will also give you eggs that practically peel themselves, either fresh out of the pot or after refrigerating! Also, a denture brush is even better than a toothbrush for getting into those little crevices! The bristles are stiffer, and they have a section of longer bristles on the end. I buy them for that very purpose, because nobody in our house has dentures. 😊
@@Em22-wtfAnother idea, is to use spray oil on the inside of a plastic container and that will prevent the tomato based sauces from staining the container. I just spritz and then spread around with my hand to save on product
I wonder if you’d ,ind giving us suggestions with recipes for a hit pot. My niece gave me one a few months ago and talked him thru making homemade yogurt for me, it was excellent . I broke my hip twice in a roll and I kept getting thrush on my tongue from the antibiotics. The first break was a couple of days after the brakes out on my car because I was pumping my brakes trying to get my Equinox to stop. I totaled a police car, a public works truck,and someone’s brand new Chevy Impala. Janice
Thanks for so many helpers. My favorite it using the dish wash sponge and handle thing for cleaning in the shower. That is going on my list of things to pick up at the Dollar Tree. Another was the glue stick....how simple, yet why had I not thought of it. I subscribed so I wouldn't miss any other hints and tricks. See, you can teach an old dog new tricks....I'm 84 and learned several new tricks today.
Since you're elderly like me, here's a hack for getting clothes out of the dryer. Get a grabbie from Harbor Freight. When clothes are dry and you can't get that sock in the far back of the dryer without excessive reaching, use your grabbie.
@@judyanderson8782 Thank you Judy, That gives me an idea to use that grabber (which I do have) for getting some of the laundry from my washer also. It is so deep that sometimes even on tip toes I still can't reach the wayward piece. I appreciate you reminding me that grabber can be used somewhere else besides my pantry.
Personally I wouldn't do the cooler one because I have several ginormous pots, plus a roasting pan I could use instead, but also the potential BPA/chemical leaching concerns. If you really need to use it, I would recommend first lining the cooler with a *turkey-sized oven bag* as those are food safe and will tolerate boiling water. Pop the bag into the cooler, place the corn inside the bag, then pour the boiling water into the bag. Place a couple of wire racks on top to keep the corn submerged for even cooking and you should be good to go.
I agree with your complaints about nooks and crannies of cleaning. As we built our house, everything I chose was based on how easy it was to clean. Also, we bought one piece toilets, which are a lot easier to clean
Gotta get a steamer....it changed my life. I hardly even buy cleaning products anymore. It also cleans nooks and crannies beautifully, removes water spots, hard water stains.....stains on fabric, everything. I used to hate cleaning, now it's basically me getting to play with my awesome new toy lol 😊
Absolutely in love with the use of the word "exfoliant" instead of "abrasive" 😂😂 i am a professional house cleaner and a couple years ago one of my customers asked how i clean her stove and i called bar keepers friend "stove exfoliater"
We use neither dryer sheets nor balls in the dryer and our clothes come out without any wrinkles. Perhaps it's because I take them out of the dryer fairly soon, smooth and fold them right away and put them away.
For toilets and toothbrush, maybe in the us it isn't available but in Poland there is something that in my translation is unclipped toilet seat, basically its just what it's called, you can unclipped seat and wash it in bathtub or shower, its not very common but i could not live without it since i discovered that
I know exactly what you are talking about, so good job with the translation. They aren't very common but I have one too. Some of them are called Lift-off or easy-off. I will never go back to the other type either.
I love your rapid-fire videos! They are filled with a plethora of truly AWESOME ideas and information! The ideas and hacks are all very usable and they are either free or very affordable! Thank you for providing the links for us, where you can, as well! With 3 kids, I don't know HOW you can pull off these longer videos, but I'm sooo glad you do! 😊 Take care and be well! ❤
This is the only "hacks" video that I've found, that has ACTUALLY USEFUL and PRACTICAL ideas! I was about to give up on finding helpful hacks - you've restored my faith in household hacks content - Thank you!!
The grocery bag hack- I've been folding mine and putting in a box. Yes, it allows for many more bags, but I don't always have the time and have to ask somebody else to fold them. Her idea is much quicker!
Take a bow, you are totally organized and everything you do! Thank you for sharing this and I love the transcript. It’s gonna be an easy one to replicate your ideas. Just the kids.
I can remember using wax paper on the sliding board at the playground to make it slide faster. There was just enough wax on the wax paper to make it really slippery.
I love these hacks and your channel. When it comes to cooking corn in a cooler though, I wonder if the plastic liner in the cooler was designed to endure boiling water, so chemicals don’t leech into the water and if that plastic is BPA free.
While I personally wouldn't do this hack myself - I have a huuuuuuge pot as well as a large roasting pan I could use - I suppose if someone really needed to do it they could first line the cooler with one of those turkey-sized oven bags? Those bags are meant to be food-safe so I guess that should work.
Well she compiles all the hacks other ppl post and she works hard at this to bring it to all of us in one place and she has an art of presentingthem to us in a non pretentious way she us likeable and sweet abd thats why we love her BUT she did not invent all these hacks😂
These are brilliant! Thanks! I'm stealing a bunch! 😁I love the idea of storing occasionally used items (e.g., a turkey roaster) elsewhere so it doesn't take up valuable space like in the kitchen. I do this with any linens for the holidays. My Thanksgiving and Christmas linens, potholders, tea towels, aprons, kitchen towels, etc. are all stored with the Christmas decorations so they don't take up room in my linen closet. The best part though is that I'm not tearing the linen closet apart trying to find them right before Thanksgiving dinner is served.
The one with toilet cleaning. I've been doing this for over 30yrs. Although I use the paper for the top & rim, and a brush for the bowll. You can flush the paper, instead of throwing out sponges or rags. You're the first person I've seen doing the same thing. 😊
Aging-in-Place 'Hack': If you have mobility issues, you must hate having to use base cabinets for storage, especially the sink base cabinet. Instead of using a variety of extendable shelves, stacking bins, or shelf risers, look into installing extension shelves. They come in a variety of widths and depths, to work with the unique volume configurations of the space in sink base cabinets. Some include a second tier shelf narrow enough to thread the space between pipes and the cabinet side. They can be mirrored on each side of the base cabinet, then a long thin bin can be placed between the two for additional storage. NO MORE KNEELING TO REACH THE BACK OF THE BASE CABINET!
LOL omg Now I have visions of bread tags and lost socks on an island somewhere drinking fruity drinks with little paper umbrellas in them LOLOL But you have some great hacks here! I certainly learned a thing or ten. One of the first ones made my eyes widen, the broom to clean the tub. OMG...thats definitely a great one! Thanks so much for putting this all together for us.
I like the hanger hack. For shining refrigerators, faucets, counter tops ,stoves and a lot of other things. Have you ever heard of Jubilee kitchen wax? It also makes cleaning easier the next time you clean. 🙂
Lol at the slight smile at tip 5 about the shower window. Saying the word ‘husbands’ who may not be cleaning after themselves. I definitely caught a subdued smile!
My hardboiled egg shells always stuck until I tried this hack I saw: bring the water to a rolling boil first, and THEN add the eggs. Simmer about 14 min. I also put them straight into ice water when they're done, but that alone wasn't enough. It's the rolling boil that made the difference. Lots of good ideas here!
Me, too! Mine came out of necessity. During recovery, when I had my hips replaced, I was unable to stand and walk for long periods of time. So when it came to laundry, I simply figured this one out on my own. I also found that shaking t-shirts from the bottom hem and holding at the seams was much more efficient for straightening the shirt out for folding and hanging.
I love the tips about the dish wand for the shower, the steaming corn in the cooler (WOW!), and the glue stick and the glue gun! Genius! And, of course, all the other tips! Thanks for sharing!
I literally had to pause this on the TV so I could comment on my phone that there is NO way my type of lazy is like yours! Like seriously 😂💚 I was pretty proud of myself for already implementing a few of these (including putting command hooks on our outdoor shop so we would have towel spots for our pool). Those little casters are amazing and I’m going to have to add hooks to my trash can so we can start doing that!
I will be grabbing an outdoor broom like the one you show for cleaning the shower floor! We had our shower (actually, it was the entire master bathroom) remodeled. The shower from when the house was built was a boxy yellow color (late 1960s-early 1970) was hideous, so the contractors tore it out. They were able to remove this tiny corner cubby, which allowed us a larger shower with thin type shower wall pieces going over the wet room drywall & the shower floor with heavy water barrier & base with grouted tile. The whole bathroom is beautiful, esp the extra roomy shower! It is becoming more & more difficult for me to get down on all fours to scrub the tile. I’ll be buying a detergent fillable dish scrubber for the shower walls & the bathtubs. Thanks for all the cleaning hacks, but esp so for the ones above. I’m mid-50ish, heavy on the -ish. Any cleaning hack that makes life easier is worth it.
You are a Cleaning Queen. I'm in my 60's and you have taught me things through out this video that will be so helpful to me and my family. Thank You so much. Please keep the videos coming.
Per previous comments, please don’t do this. Fabric softener is flammable. I just throw a clean dry bath towel (which I keep on top of the dryer) to fluff the clothes.
Thanks for the hacks, Kallie. Here are a couple for you. Most children's toys can be washed in either the dishwasher or the washing machine. For example, I used to throw my son's Lego pieces in a mesh laundry bag and spread it out on the top rack of the dishwasher. No scrubbing. And, for "sealing" drafty windows and glass doors, spray down the glass with water and then press on a sheet of bubble wrap large enough to cover the glass. Use more sheets as needed to cover glass entirely and just respray the glass when the bubble wrap starts peeling off. This prevents drafts and keeps the house much warmer and cheaper to heat. Looking forward to your next hack video. Thank you! ~ Lisa
It's amazing how many things I've found to do with those DT wands that you can stick all the attachments to. I dust my walls, ledges above doors, vents, they're good for quick spill clean up or getting under furniture to dust. Ceiling fans, baseboards. Anything basically you'd need to reach or bend down to clean
Thank you for your tips. Love the garbage bag command hook and bread bag. I fill my brush with Dawn and vinegar to scrub shower doors while my conditioner is working. I throw some Apple Cider vinegar in the bleach section of my washer when I wash blankets if anyone has dogs that use your couch blankets or sleep on the bed. I use the scrub side of Lysol scrubbing wipes for my sink for removing the dirt, grit, grime and it actually gives it a good shine too plus its antibacterial
I Really like all your videos and ideas. You move along & get so many things in one video. Your ideas are so helpful. Thanks for sharing all your ideas. Have a great week.😊
6:38 Another thing that you can do with the rice and essential oil is use it as heat pad. Pop it in a microwave for 30 seconds and you get yourself a heat pad. Essential oil is optional :)
All great. Thank you again. 😉 Noticed you really are a hard worker. Many clips wearing bandaids of one sort or another or paint on your hands. Good on you. Live life to the fullest. Same age as my son. 😊
Denture brushes work better than toothbrushes since they have a larger head and stiffer bristles. I also use denture tablets in vases that have "crud" left behind from flower stems or leaves. Just rinse the vase, fill it with water, toss in a denture tablet and leave it overnight. In the morning, the remaining crud will easily rinse out.
I use them to clean my hairbrushes every day. Just basically removing the hair - you can use the smaller tip to scrub product off after soaking the hairbrush in water with a drop of dish soap every once in a while.
I keep one of those broom heads in my bathtub, shower combo I can easily wash down the tile walls from top to bottom. I wash my shower curtain inside the bathtub with that makes it so easy to keep clean and I do it while I’m taking my shower.
I used to use new toothbrushes from dollar tree to clean toys at the daycare I worked at. My boss realized this and started providing them for cleaning. They get into the tiny toy crevices so well!
13:27 what also works really well is a tube cover from a cloth folding chair (best way I can describe it). Our cloth folding chair broke but the tube cover was still perfectly fine. We now use it for all of our plastic bags and let me tell you, that tube holds a heck of a lot of plastic bags 😊
I use dry erase markers on my fridge for grocery lists and phone numbers that I only need for a little bit. I use them on my freezer for the next weekʼs meals. When I have transferred my grocery list, I wipe off the fridge. Same with the freezer. I use a squirt of orange vinegar to make sure every bit of the previous lists are gone. I use them on the washer to threaten mayhem if the water temperature goes hotter than warm. My happily moved last roommate was bad about that.
I love the hanger hack. That air freshener would work great in my trash drawer. I love using a tooth brush to clean with! If your roll your lemons or limes before you slice it , it makes it juicer. I've used that missing bread tag for years! Thanks for the mango hack!! Love those wheels! Love the picture hanging hack.
I steam my eggs in a collapsible metal steamer tray thing. I put it in a pan of water. Once it boils I place the eggs in. Boil for 20 minutes on medium heat. Place in ice water and they peel perfectly. No shells getting stuck. Steam is the answer. I'm assuming that's what the air fryer does.
So far I love the DIY dryer sheets and the hanging clothes hacks. I think these will save me time and money!! Thank you! the cooking corn in a plastic cooler concerns me because the plastic has chemicals that can leach into our food, especially when it gets hot.
I love all of these FABULOUS ideas. But nothing beats the image of the missing bread tags and missing socks living their best lives on a commune. Every time I think of that, I get happy. Thank you!
I was just about to say that! 😆
You
Somebody, for fun, should invent a Bridge type "commune" for all the missing socks. (I swear i washed both; where Do they sneak off to!)
Great hacks
Just to let people know lost socks can end up in the washing machine behind the drum
So it is true the washing machine ate the sock saying is true lol
Or sometimes they do get lost socks like in ur bed lol
😊
Love: Bread tags/Sox created a community where they live happily living off the land. Sooo cute
May I add a tip? I flip to Nov. or Dec. when I get a new calendar in Jan. for the upcoming year. I write in Nov. or Dec. (whichever works best) what items I need for the holidays. Napkins or tableware or gift tags-those types of things. So when I flip to the months with special holidays I can purchase what I need because by then I will have definitely forgotten what I needed, and the items are listed on my new calendar.
Great idea. Maybe write recipes or copy recipes and glue it over the pages that most likely will not use. Sometimes it has a notes page. Also jot down where you put all of those items that you will need. Lol.
I totally agree with your "rant" about toilets. 😊 I've always felt the same way about stoves. Too many nooks and crannies in hard to clean places.

i love this too..straight to the point
You can get toilets that have fewer bends and awful places you can only clean if you kneel in front of them and “hug” them. Some are called one-piece toilets. They also sell 1-click removable seats.
The dry erase marker also works great on bathroom mirrors to give yourself little reminders in the morning/evening!
Lol! I did that with lip gloss, markers etc if I needed to jot down a number and couldn't find a pen!! Went to my daughter's house and all her mirrors were lined with notes and numbers lol!

The bag in water to take out air is my new favorite hack!!!❤
Mine too❤
This is great for freezer storage. Prevents freezer burn.
You deserve UA-cams best household tips award! Everyone of your tips were great👏👏👏
Love the way you get straight to your content. Awesome collection of tips.
I put a rubber band on the end of tooth brushes that are used for cleaning.
Great idea 💡 👍 thank you💯
I put big red dot 🔴 with my nail polish and stick behind the toilet tank.
Intentionally messy Sharpie lines down the back of the toothbrush do the trick also ❤
This is just content she lifted from others.

I really like that putting your clothes up and doing the hangers thing instead of one by one
I agree with your complaints about nooks and crannies of cleaning. As we built our house, everything I chose was based on how easy it was to clean. Also, we bought one piece toilets, which are a lot easier to clean
Houses and cars should be designed for ease of cleaning!
I just got some denture tablets to clean my stained thermos flasks and mugs. I'll try them on my Tupperwares too.
How did you determine if something was easy to clean, do you have some tips or your thoughts?
Gotta get a steamer....it changed my life. I hardly even buy cleaning products anymore. It also cleans nooks and crannies beautifully, removes water spots, hard water stains.....stains on fabric, everything.

I use wool dryer balls in the dryer. No buying/nor making dryer sheets. I use three. The last for ages. Like years. I highly recommend them.
They are noisy though.

The small forks!! I thought it was my brother when he moved out, but I may have maligned him.

Or a candle stick
I forgot about that! 😎😎
Another hack to clean all the crevices of the toilet, is to use a cotton bud/ Qtip dipped in your usual cleaner. Then dispose in the bin when done. 😊
I love these hacks and your channel. When it comes to cooking corn in a cooler though, I wonder if the plastic liner in the cooler was designed to endure boiling water, so chemicals don’t leech into the water and if that plastic is BPA free.
I was concerned about this as well!
I wouldn’t risk the leaching chemicals on my food. Otherwise, every hack is just fantastic, especially the garbage can hooks. Love your channel.
While I personally wouldn't do this hack myself - I have a huuuuuuge pot as well as a large roasting pan I could use - I suppose if someone really needed to do it they could first line the cooler with one of those turkey-sized oven bags? Those bags are meant to be food-safe so I guess that should work.
Maybe a food-safe crockpot liner could be used for additional peace of mind.
I'm thinking of trying this in my crockpot for a smaller quantity. The boiling water in an already heated crockpot should work well
I don't know how you keep coming up with logical helpful tips! Great work and thanks! 👏

Lol at the slight smile at tip 5 about the shower window. Saying the word ‘husbands’ who may not be cleaning after themselves. I definitely caught a subdued smile!
My hardboiled egg shells always stuck until I tried this hack I saw: bring the water to a rolling boil first, and THEN add the eggs. Simmer about 14 min. I also put them straight into ice water when they're done, but that alone wasn't enough. It's the rolling boil that made the difference.
Lots of good ideas here!
Maybe that's why the streaming method works so well. I boil the water first.
That’s exactly what I do! Add eggs to boiling water. Boil for 14 then ice for 7
I’ve been doing the hanger trick (#14) for years. Works like a charm.
Me, too! Mine came out of necessity. During recovery, when I had my hips replaced, I was unable to stand and walk for long periods of time. So when it came to laundry, I simply figured this one out on my own. I also found that shaking t-shirts from the bottom hem and holding at the seams was much more efficient for straightening the shirt out for folding and hanging.
I love it
I love the tips about the dish wand for the shower, the steaming corn in the cooler (WOW!), and the glue stick and the glue gun! Genius! And, of course, all the other tips! Thanks for sharing!
I literally had to pause this on the TV so I could comment on my phone that there is NO way my type of lazy is like yours! Like seriously 😂💚 I was pretty proud of myself for already implementing a few of these (including putting command hooks on our outdoor shop so we would have towel spots for our pool).
Those little casters are amazing and I’m going to have to add hooks to my trash can so we can start doing that!
I did this too😂
Wonderful tips & I love the way you go through them so quickly!!!
I will be grabbing an outdoor broom like the one you show for cleaning the shower floor! We had our shower (actually, it was the entire master bathroom) remodeled. The shower from when the house was built was a boxy yellow color (late 1960s-early 1970) was hideous, so the contractors tore it out. They were able to remove this tiny corner cubby, which allowed us a larger shower with thin type shower wall pieces going over the wet room drywall & the shower floor with heavy water barrier & base with grouted tile. The whole bathroom is beautiful, esp the extra roomy shower! It is becoming more & more difficult for me to get down on all fours to scrub the tile. I’ll be buying a detergent fillable dish scrubber for the shower walls & the bathtubs.
Thanks for all the cleaning hacks, but esp so for the ones above. I’m mid-50ish, heavy on the -ish. Any cleaning hack that makes life easier is worth it.
You are a Cleaning Queen. I'm in my 60's and you have taught me things through out this video that will be so helpful to me and my family. Thank You so much. Please keep the videos coming.
Your bread bag tag/lost sock commune theory is one of the best things I’ve ever heard! Thank you for that little gem in the middle of your video😂😂
It really works. Plus, your bread is easier to store without the extra bread wrapper flopping around.
These mate and come back as Tupperware lids with no mate…
I love your sense of humor. 😅 Great information...thanks! 💕
You have the best videos. The content is good and you get right to the point.
One of the best collection of ideas, thanks. I also like how you keep the info moving along.
Best home hacks video I've seen to date! Keep up the great work Kallie!
I love you simplified, common sense living ideas. THANK YOU!!!
I love that “custom fabric softener sponge” trick!!! Thanks so much for sharing
Per previous comments, please don’t do this. Fabric softener is flammable. I just throw a clean dry bath towel (which I keep on top of the dryer) to fluff the clothes.
👍👍👍
Love this! My fave was the picture-hanging hack, I've seen variations before but I like this the most! ❤
Thanks for the hacks, Kallie. Here are a couple for you. Most children's toys can be washed in either the dishwasher or the washing machine. For example, I used to throw my son's Lego pieces in a mesh laundry bag and spread it out on the top rack of the dishwasher. No scrubbing. And, for "sealing" drafty windows and glass doors, spray down the glass with water and then press on a sheet of bubble wrap large enough to cover the glass. Use more sheets as needed to cover glass entirely and just respray the glass when the bubble wrap starts peeling off. This prevents drafts and keeps the house much warmer and cheaper to heat. Looking forward to your next hack video. Thank you! ~ Lisa
I’m going to need to watch it again and take notes. Great tips!! 🎉
It's amazing how many things I've found to do with those DT wands that you can stick all the attachments to. I dust my walls, ledges above doors, vents, they're good for quick spill clean up or getting under furniture to dust. Ceiling fans, baseboards. Anything basically you'd need to reach or bend down to clean
These are some of the Best hacks I have seen! Thank you, anything to make our lives a little bit easier!😊❤
Thank you for your tips. Love the garbage bag command hook and bread bag. I fill my brush with Dawn and vinegar to scrub shower doors while my conditioner is working. I throw some Apple Cider vinegar in the bleach section of my washer when I wash blankets if anyone has dogs that use your couch blankets or sleep on the bed. I use the scrub side of Lysol scrubbing wipes for my sink for removing the dirt, grit, grime and it actually gives it a good shine too plus its antibacterial
I Really like all your videos and ideas. You move along & get so many things in one video. Your ideas are so helpful. Thanks for sharing all your ideas. Have a great week.😊
Eggs in the instant pot for 5-6 minutes come out perfectly “boiled” and peel like a dream!!
6:38 Another thing that you can do with the rice and essential oil is use it as heat pad. Pop it in a microwave for 30 seconds and you get yourself a heat pad. Essential oil is optional :)
I'm a house cleaner and these are such great solutions for cleaning! Thank you!
I like that she gets to the point and talks fast. 👍🏽
All great. Thank you again. 😉 Noticed you really are a hard worker. Many clips wearing bandaids of one sort or another or paint on your hands. Good on you. Live life to the fullest. Same age as my son. 😊
Denture brushes work better than toothbrushes since they have a larger head and stiffer bristles.
I also use denture tablets in vases that have "crud" left behind from flower stems or leaves. Just rinse the vase, fill it with water, toss in a denture tablet and leave it overnight. In the morning, the remaining crud will easily rinse out.
I use them to clean my hairbrushes every day. Just basically removing the hair - you can use the smaller tip to scrub product off after soaking the hairbrush in water with a drop of dish soap every once in a while.
I keep one of those broom heads in my bathtub, shower combo I can easily wash down the tile walls from top to bottom. I wash my shower curtain inside the bathtub with that makes it so easy to keep clean and I do it while I’m taking my shower.
I used to use new toothbrushes from dollar tree to clean toys at the daycare I worked at. My boss realized this and started providing them for cleaning. They get into the tiny toy crevices so well!
Why buy new toothbrushes, why not just use older ones that you no longer use for teeth?
@@lauraoh8048 that would be highly unsanitary to use used toothbrushes to clean baby toys that will likely be put into mouths 😉
13:27 what also works really well is a tube cover from a cloth folding chair (best way I can describe it). Our cloth folding chair broke but the tube cover was still perfectly fine. We now use it for all of our plastic bags and let me tell you, that tube holds a heck of a lot of plastic bags 😊
Thank you for All of these wonderful & extremely useful hacks. These are some of the best ones I have seen!😊
Thanks for sharing these very practical hacks. I love your videos! Thank you for sharing❤
I feel like this was one of your very best hacks video. Thanks for all the research you do. 🥰
I use dry erase markers on my fridge for grocery lists and phone numbers that I only need for a little bit. I use them on my freezer for the next weekʼs meals. When I have transferred my grocery list, I wipe off the fridge. Same with the freezer. I use a squirt of orange vinegar to make sure every bit of the previous lists are gone.
I use them on the washer to threaten mayhem if the water temperature goes hotter than warm. My happily moved last roommate was bad about that.
I've never heard of orange vinegar before I'll have to look for It
Great idea's. My favorite is hanging up photos with the masking tap trick. Great idea
I REALLY enjoyed your video, some great ideas!
I got an electric cordless scrubber that comes with a bunch of attachments. It was pretty inexpensive and makes cleaning the tub much easier!
Me too since my shoulders are shot!
Great if it doesn't bother you to bend over, hence the broom
I love the hanger hack. That air freshener would work great in my trash drawer. I love using a tooth brush to clean with! If your roll your lemons or limes before you slice it , it makes it juicer. I've used that missing bread tag for years! Thanks for the mango hack!! Love those wheels! Love the picture hanging hack.
These tips are fantastic !!! and a lot of new ideas on here as well - thank you 😊
I absolutely love youfor this video. Thank you.
You are quickly becoming one of my favorite channels ! Love your tips!
Thank you for the tips and for your quick and smooth delivery.
I steam my eggs in a collapsible metal steamer tray thing. I put it in a pan of water. Once it boils I place the eggs in. Boil for 20 minutes on medium heat. Place in ice water and they peel perfectly. No shells getting stuck. Steam is the answer. I'm assuming that's what the air fryer does.
@@osakarose5612 Thanks. I need to give it a try.
Wow! Just wow! Phenomenal! Thanks a million!
I've been hanging tops that way for years. Never thought of it as a hack, but it really is 😊
There were so many “Oh Duh!!!” moments in this video. Thanks so much.
Hey Kallie. Alot of great ones. And you make me laugh which is a big plus. Thanks😊
These help me so much. Thank you
I’ve done the hanger thing forever. It definitely seems to save time.
I just started watching- the broomsticks for the ceilings and shower- Genius!
You seriously have the best tips! I love these videos! Thank you Callie! 🙏🏻❤️
Great stuff! I love the terracotta pot with foil and charcoal idea for s’mores!
Love these hacks! Thanks for organizing in the 4 categories! You're the best 👍
So far I love the DIY dryer sheets and the hanging clothes hacks. I think these will save me time and money!! Thank you!
the cooking corn in a plastic cooler concerns me because the plastic has chemicals that can leach into our food, especially when it gets hot.
I was just missing you today and here you are!! Thanks always!
I love the little ditty that you play at the beginning of your videos. Always makes me smile. Then I get motivated! ❤❤
If you do not tear the entire foil cover on a container off, but only take off 3/4 and leave on the container you won't need the tape.
