Our granddaughter saves her Starbucks drink bottles for me - clean them, remove the label and I use them for bath salts, spice mixes and other things such as candies. They are so cute as gift containers plus (for me) they are free 😁 - Lynn
Great idea!😊 Thank you for sharing that. I gotta try this one. I see endless uses. 👍❤️
Thanks for all the great ideas Lynn
I thought of turn those bottles into a vase for flowers.
Try painting them with a coat of Mod Podge followed by 1-2 coats of chalk paint. I used sponge "brushes". After drying, I wrapped different ribbons, strips of bling, jute cord, etc., around the top...beautiful vases to tuck away in small areas, give as gifts.
I used to save all of mine too, but I stopped when my son used them for a "bottled lemonade" stand 😂
Hey Liz, you can use a Magic Eraser to clean white tennis shoes (even the bottom sides) to get them and get them looking brand new again, then spray them with rubbing alcohol on the inside to get rid of any stinky feet smell! You won’t have to soak their shoes anymore or use expensive cleaners! Have a great day! 😊
Yes!! This DOES work!! As does dish soap and a scrub brush! ORRR LAs totally awesome (yellow kind)
I gotta try this, wow thank you!!!
I like this idea as well.
I find that my magic eraser crumbles in my hand.
@@cherylvincent8110 make sure you wet it down well and maybe use a new one. Good luck! 🍀
I love the yellow glove HACK out of the two. The labels blew my mind! What a great idea!
To fill up my mop buckets or to refill giant water jugs, I keep a DT Pool Noodle just for this hack. It fits right over the spigot without leaks and keeps the surrounding area totally dry.
I never thought of a DT poll noddle. That is something I need to try as well. Thank you for sharing this hack. 🙏
What a great idea. Thank you!
Why not fill the bucket in the bathtub?
@lillmetoo my bathtubs are either upstairs or downstairs; but my kitchen, foyer, and the majority of floors to wash, are all on the middle, main floor. Filling a bucket in a bathtub requires lugging up or down a flight of stairs. Using the pool noodle is the easiest option.
And the 👑Reigning Queen of Hacks & DIYs has done it yet again👑 thank you Liz!! In case this might help someone, I will throw in my measly 2 cents.. you know those cutesy, often Christmas themed fuzzy socks that every store starts shoving in your face to buy as "stocking stuffers" well before you wanna even think about the impending cold weather? Well, I'm not sure if they're technically microfiber or not, but they sure do feel like it to me. So instead of using them to keep my feet warm, I put them on my hands like cute little sock puppets & then go to town dusting the window blinds, etc. I also realized that they're very useful to keep your plants clean too. If you have 1 on each hand, you can dust off the top and bottom of each leaf simultaneously (huge time & aggravation saver!). And i just feel like I have so much more control as to how slowly & gently I can dust off the more juvenile & fragile leaves. I guess that was a whole lot of writing to ultimately say thank you for always sharing your wisdom with us Liz. You are so kind & generous to do so and you really, REALLY help those of us who struggle to see alternate ways of using and doing things. Once I know the "intended" purpose of an item, it's damn near impossible to see it any other way, unless I'm fortunate enough to learn from someone else. So when I say that you have been INCREDIBLY helpful to me & so many others and how appreciative & grateful we all are, I truly mean it. Thank you again💛
This is clever as well.
Thank you for this!
Great idea and especially for dusting plant leaves.
Might not be able to see things for different purposes but sure could write a good book. Got to reading could not stop and so true about Liz
Thank you for the tip about dusting the plants what a wise idea this is going to be so helpful
After cutting the orange, slip a spoon between the orange and the peel to “scoop” it out. My Grandma taught me that when I was a little girl. The only way to peel an orange!
Thanks so much for the tip!
THIS is what I came here to say! Then, when I want my house to smell really clean, I put a little oil in the side that has the stem going through and light the stem--instant citrus candle!
Good thinking
I'm going to do that right now, thanks!
Love the freezer bag “ hack”
Denture tablets work great to get coffee stains from cups and coffee pot I use 6 tablets with a tinge of dish soap use a dish cloth or brush and swirl it around the bottom and sides of the coffee pot works great be sure to rinse well
Hello Regina, Can I ask you a question?
I like the yellow gloves!! I can't wait to try that!! Hack!!
Hi Liz. I use Dawn Power wash to clean all of my sneakers. Yes even the white ones. The power wash cleans a lot more as well. Gets the yellow out of older lamp shades and many more. I use it to clean my thrift finds as well. Thanks for sharing. I love both of your channels. ❤
on the sheets when you spray it . I put a little bit of fabric softer in my bottle of water.makes them smell great plus looks nice. try that one you will love it.
That's a great idea!
Liz, I love the solid ice idea for serving fruit. The yellow Amazon gloves look easier. The dollar bill measuring hack is clever!
Thanks to you and your camera lady for everything you do. I recently started using those glass bottles from (Starbucks) iced coffee to store spices, them rehuse the tap from the plastic containers and labeled the bottles. They look gorgeous and organized.
Definitely the makeup one, I am going on an Alaskan cruise in June.❤️, First cruise ever!!
The orange hack was hilarious!
Hello Cheri... Can I ask you a question?
Definitely yellow for the blinds hack!
I love the towel rack hack, will definitely try that one!❤
I do the packing tape label, I often cut out from magazines too. And I LOVE the towel rack!!
Hi. I'm curious about the tape label... how is the tape still sticky enough to adhere to anything, after being in water and all that rubbing?
@@ja9. I loved the idea too and am wondering the same thing. How does she adhere it? I'll ask this question up top just in case she doesn't see it here. Thanks Janine.
Hack, loving the ice tray hack!
I can't wait to use the battery hack in front of my husband. I already use the bread "no more bread tie hack" with my loaf bread. Thank you Liz😊
I love the yellow gloves for cleaning the blinds! Home HACKS are essential to keep us working smarter rather than harder. Thanks for all the help 😊
Love your HACK videos! The yellow glove is my choice for cleaning blinds. I love the solid tray of ice under the tray of fruit the best! I have used the dust pan in my bathroom to get water into a bucket before. You could use the shower head or the tub faucet to fill the buckets instead! TFS!
Love the freezing ice tray for fruit instead of cubes....and the yellow gloves...thanks for sharing!
1 good way to do the garlic is just pop it in a jar after removing the stem end. Shake the jar quite hard and the outside will come off. Dump it out and the small pices can go back in and shake hard again and the skin will be off the individual sections also. Ready to use.
Yellow glove hack.Freezing the water in the container.I can see if you don't have a tub to use the dust pan.If you have a tub just use that.Thanks Liz for great ideas.
that label hack is amazing. ive got to try that
WOW, I bet that towel rack hack could also be used for yoga mat storage‼ I bought a "small quantity" case of those cabinet shelves online, b/c they literally have not had them in my 3 most local DTs since before the pandemic. I had them shipped to my store, and they took FOREVER to arrive (2 weeks exactly, but it felt like a month 😅🙃)... I KNEW I should've purchased 2 orders! Thanks for the tip/demonstration; towels look beautiful that way.
Edit: Whoooaaa... That dustpan-handle _funnel_ hack...😲🤯❣
Sitting here flipping through tv chanels- exploring all the channels I get now with my Roku tv and the (T-Mobile)internet I was able to get and I am watching you on my phone and low and behold there you are on my tv! Channel hello inspo- way to go!!!!! How awesome hometown girl !!!!!!!!
I make a spray for my sheets, blankets and duvets that's a mixture of my favorite fabric softener and water. It not only makes them lay wrinkle free but smells great. I've been snapping the clips off of plastic skirt/pant hangers for years. It just doesn't make sense to buy clips when you can use what you have. I've used clothes pins, rubber bands and the metal binder clips as bag clips most of my life. Lol
Hangers for chip clips, AAA used for AA, using gloves for dusting blinds and replacing crickets labels with computer printed labels were all clever hacks. Actually all of the hacks were clever but I want to try the four I mentioned. All of the hacks were totally well done!
Please don't use the battery switch out and tin foil. Bad idea
There’s a really cool hack for garlic where you takeoff the outer skin put the garlic in a bowl like a mixing bowl preferably, cover it with a plate, and then shake it up until it’s unskins itself. It works. You can even try to two same size bowls lip to lip if you don’t have available. I’ve done it and it surprisingly works
I use the drink bottles to put flowers in. I like the yellow gloves to clean the blinds. Thanks for the ideas
Hello Alice, Can I ask you a question?
Thanks for the iPhone pics delete! Big help & some time to do it.
I am sorry idk how to claim a prize! 🙁
These hacks were awesome. My favorite was the Reynolds’s wrap/battery hack. Genius!
The blinds cloth is the best...thank you!
Thank you for your tips Liz! You're amazing. I watch you as a stress reliever and for creative ideas-your videos are so informative and Zen! The battery hack blew my mind-can't tell you how many times I've been in that position. Now I know what to do. I haven't tried the denture hack on sneakers, but I have used it to soak and clean glass, jewelry (gold, natural stones) and pottery. It gets them crystal clean and doesn't leave the streaks that dishwasher tablets can leave behind.
💕💕💕you quartered the orange, works better,we do for our nursing home residents, not so messy
Love the gloves for cleaning blinds. I really like the dust pan hack. Thanks for showing the fails as well. There are so many so called hacks out there but, to be honest, so many are just not practical or work. Thanks for trying and giving an honest opinion.
Thank you for all the clever hacks and particularly demonstrating how to create and use them! Thanks, Liz! 💗🌹💗
I think for the tennis shoe with the denture tablets you need a smaller container so that the denture tablet is more concentrated and I think it would work
I use chip clips on bags that don’t seal. They work in freezer also.
Thx for the battery hack never would have thought that would work definitely trying!
Please do not do the battery swap and tin foil.
For the orange: cut the ends off, then take your knife and just cut into the skin and then peel off- it always works!!! 🤗
I rarely comment but wanted to say I think this is one of your best "hack" videos I've seen recently. I especially like the yellow gloves. I live in an apartment with those little narrow blinds (tacky) on all windows. To make matters worse, the area is heavily shaded with no grass. Still the mower guys come along weekly with those big tractor mowers and "mow" the dirt. Finally, I face a busy road that stirs up dust. As you can imagine, dusty blinds are the bane of my housekeeping existence. Those gloves will soon be arriving at my front door!! Thanks
I too rarely comment but came across your video and couldn't resist. I also live in a small apartment and can relate so I will be putting the gloves to the test. Anything to work smarter and not harder.
Liz I so enjoy everything you show us from Hacks to Crafts your awesome HACKS
Love the towel rack been brain storming how I could have more space in my only ,,1 cabinet. Ty
The battery is genius!! I will definitely use this.
I keep the silly single socks that lose their mate to dust blinds. Just pop the sock on, like a sock puppet, and go to town like you did with the yellow gloves.
I LOVE the yellow gloves most for cleaning blinds. They’re great for lamps, lamp shades and everything else that needs dusting.
Another tip is dish washer tabs. Place 2 or 3 tabs minus the red power boost ball in the middle of tab if there. Add really hot water and add white socks (about 5 pairs each time) that are greying. Leave overnight, rinse and they will be much whiter. ☺️
Like the yellow glove and the battery hack.
Hacks - love your yellow gloves for cleaning blinds!😎
These hacks are genius, especially the battery and label hacks.
Definitely prefer the yellow hack!
I had no idea u could make clear labels like that!! Wow!! Well well, Learnt something new today! Thx Liz!! ❤😅
❤️home hack videos. Gonna try the rubber band door hack on grocery shopping day. Thanks Liz!
That towel rack hack is ingenious.
HACK~ I have been watching your videos for a long time and I truly enjoy watching them seeing all your hacks and also seeing all of your organization ideas I'm big on organizing and you give me a lot of great ideas thank you
Seems like the garlic hack could be dangerous. LOL! I use soft scrub and a nail brush to get dingy shoes looking white again. It works on leather shows, or material such as vans or converse. I never put them in the dryer just let them air dry. I do use denture cleaners to clean the coffee pot or a pitcher that I keep iced tea in. I let it set for 5-10 minutes and then scrub with a bristle pad or dish washing brush. I think the label hack is my favorite. I've seen that before and it is great for anyone that doesn't have a label maker or cricut.
Love these hacks, I am going to try the towel rack hack. That might work in my bath room. I thought maybe the dust mitts might work for blinds? Your hints are great 👍👍🙂🙂🤍
Hey Liz, This is Liz from Texas. I prefer the yellow gloves. Thank you for the tip! 😊
Hack Liz that shelf of the house was a wonderful idea thank you for sharing that
I was amazed by the labeling hack! I never would have thought that would work!
I’m going to try to make the towel holder for my sons apartment 😊
I use body parts for measurements. I measured from tip of index finger to 1st joint. Tip of thumb to tip on pinky. Tip of middle finger to wrist. Tip fo middle finger to elbow. Wrist to elbow. Tip of middle finger to shoulder. I learned as a kid, that if I hold the end of a piece of fabric with my index finger & thumb, the center of my chest is approx 1 yard. In this day of plastic money, I often find myself without cash. But I always have my arms. LOL
The that blew my mind is the backet and the dustpan where u fill up Yr water👌🙌
Great hacks especially the one to keep fruit cool!
I do the orange peeling hack a lot. There's another version of it where you cut a little off the 2 ends. Then cut the orange from one end to the other on any side. Open up the orange and you can pick each section off 😊
Love the labels girlie! Thank you!
Denture tabs are a great alternative to clean coffee machines - especially the frother! I use a couple of tabs and leave the frother tube submerged in the frother jug overnight.
Is this hack for regular coffee machines or the newer styles? I need something to clean my dad's coffee maker, especially the part that holds the water.
@Cake Supply_Lady I am particularly to using vinegar and water to clean. Make a pot like usual, minus the filter, add a half or cup of vinegar to the water, and run as normal. Based on the buildup, you may need to run vinegar through one more time. (If you have a dishwasher, take the parts that can be removed and clean that way.)
Remember to run another cycle in the coffee pot with plain water.
Hope this helps.
@@Just-YOLANDA-T.C
I haven't as yet run it thru our 5 year cappuccino machine as still have box of cleaning tabs but I will alternate as they are basically bicarb etc. It was excellent to remove buildup on steamer pipe and nozzle.
Liz, thank you so very much for sharing your amazing HACK’s with us! You are special lady and I enjoy all your videos very much!😊
Thanks, Lori! I appreciate you watching and your kind words:)
Hack! Ok love the ice tray hack. I have my daughters graduation party this summer totally doing that!! I like the gloves idea. I just told my hubby we need to clean ours. And the battery and foil Awesome thanks for sharing
Please do not do the battery swap and tin foil.
I like 👍 👌 both the blue and yellow hacks
Hello Tina, Can I ask you a question?
About the battery hack, I consulted my son who is an electrical engineer, and he says, "The battery won't last nearly as long and might get hot. I wouldn't recommend it." Very few things that need these types of batteries are so crucial to our lives that they're worth even the slightest risk. Just buy the battery you need when you can get around to it. Now, if you have no power and someone's life is at stake and the only flashlight in the cave needs an AA and you have an AAA, then... but would you have a piece of foil?
Thank you so much for telling this information.
Hack!! So many amazing hacks. The label making was unbelievable
I’m going to try the towel holder . I think that’s a great idea
Loved the battery hack. Cool! 😊
Please do not do the battery swap and tin foil.
Cut a length of small pool noodle (faucet size) and fit snugly over faucet. Direct noodle to your bucket......or in my case aquarium to refil.
Love all the hacks. Thank you. I use the dollar tree blind cleaner with the terry covers. You get 2 covers when your done pop it in the wash. Work great on vertical blinds too
HACK! And thank you so much for all your tips!!🥰
Gotta try the towel rack HACK!
I like the guest towel hack
Will try the towel rack hack
Hi Liz, I love all of you're hacks videos. I can't wait to try to towel hack, label hack & Delaney's hack but I loved them all. Tfs
I love both the cleaning blinds hack...especially the gloves! my favorite
You can get a denture cleaner that has whitener in it. That may work better on the shoes.
These hacks are great. I prefer the yellow blind cleaning option.
Buying the dusting gloves! Thanks
I will try the frozen water hack for the fruit, salads etc. 😊
Favorite the ice to keep fruit cold. The towel holders fab hacks
I will be using the Hack to reuse cart holder to store spray paint.
I’ve used a pool noodle to fill a bucket from a shallow sink. It works great.
