    Hi Melissa, I have a dryer hack. If your garments come out wrinkly, or you need to quickly remove some wrinkles from an item, throw an ice cube in with the clothes and turn the dryer on for a few minutes, then remove the item(s) immediately and hang up. There may (or may not) be a little bit of wet spots but they will dry quickly and your garment will be virtually wrinkle free.

      If you throw in a damp cloth, will do the same thing without wet spots

    The best cleaning advice I have ever learnt from you is "letting it sit." Honestly, that has saved me so much frustration and cash! I use a variation of your cleaning spray too, so thank you very much for giving me the tools for a clean home, in much less time and easy on the pocket xx

    WD-40 is my friend when I want to make things shine. My apartment was totally gutted and remodeled 5 years ago and builder's grade everything was used. It's lovely and I appreciate having a nice place to live but I have to be careful what I use to clean with. I use the homemade mixtures for the everyday cleaning. But when I need to spiffy things up I will use the WD-40 on my appliances, fixtures, sink, anywhere I want to make it look new. The landlord does a walk-through twice a year and she says I have the cleanest apt. Thanks, Melissa for making me look good!

    The all purpose cleaner is amazing! It's my go-to cleaner and tea tree oil is just the right hint of clean scent that doesn't give me a migraine. I had to make a second bottle of the AP cleaner for the garage because I got tired of hunting it down when I needed it 😁

    Washing up liquid. I use Fairy, I think it's the British equivalent of Dawn. For a long time I used bar soap to wash dishes (not hand bar soap) but when I went back to ferry it made washing the dishes so much easier. I can also be used to make other cleaning products around the home so it's multi-use and probably the product I use more than any other in my home.

    I love the Biokleen Bac Out you suggested for pet and toilet stuff, I can’t live without Dr. Bronners Sal Suds for my all around concentrated soap (I add it to homemade all purpose spray, use it in the toilet bowl scrub recipe, dilute it for dishes… etc.). Last but not least - Bar Keepers Friend!!

    I love your DIY cleaners - and borax is one of my favorites.
    I mix 2 Tbsp borax with a cup of baking soda, and keep it by the tub to add to Epsom salt baths - is also great as a cleaner - I sprinkle some in the toilet bowl about weekly.
    I use eco laundry strips, and love them! I'm trying a bar of dish soap when my new house is finished (soon, I hope!!) But keep liquid on hand.
    I mix several Tbsp borax with 15 oz hot water to dissolve, then pour about 1/4 cup in the laundry dispenser most loads.
    I also got a set of natural wool dryer balls that I use regularly.

      We have Jiff in New Zealand also. It's something I've always used but I feel they changed the recipe a couple of years ago. It's not as good as it used to be. It's not as thick and creamy as it was. More like it's cheaper alternatives now.

    You can absolutely make your own laundry detergent using equal amounts of marseille soap and baking soda and adding 15 - 20 drops of lemon essential oil.It cleans the clothes perfectly,even darker ones.For fabric softener I recently switched to white vinegar (again adding essential oil,usually lavender).It leaves the clothes really soft and delicately smelling!

    • @AChickAndADuck
