      My favorite hack is the sunglass clip on the visor that holds a bag of snacks. No ned for fast food.

    If you're going to group your sheet set together, use one of the pillowcases as a "bag" to shove the rest into.

    I do iron tissue paper if I'm in a pinch and I've been known to iron ribbons too, lol.
    For wrinkles on curtains, table cloths etc, I make my own downy wrinkle release by putting a capful of fabric softener in a spray bottle and fill it up with water. It works just like the expensive spray you can buy. Another tip is if you use a table cloth, spray the stains before taking it off the table to wash. So much easier than trying to do it on the loose fabric.

    I actually already do a lot of those, but the shaving cream hack is excellent! Anyone with males in their home knows the issues of cleaning the toilet. Thanks!

    I use the liner trick but I stick them to the underside of my bin lids to help keep the bin smelling fresh 😉

    My fave life hack that I use daily is to whirl a few drops of dishwashing soap in my blender & rinse to clean. I use it everyday after my smoothie.

  • @krystaljohnson5093
    @krystaljohnson5093 Рік тому +56

    Awesome! My favorite hack is putting painters tape on back of picture, marking where the hooks are. Then put tape on wall and mark where the dots are to hang the pic. Works great everytime!👍👍👍

    My favorite is cleaning the bathtub with a broom. I have arthritis and fibromyalgia so kneeling on the floor isn't an option anymore.

    @czysxycool Рік тому +91

    Shaving cream around the toilet!!! What!?! I actually paused this video right then and there cuz I HAD to try it. And it worked! I mean, it really worked!! I'll never use an awful smelling bathroom cleaner again!!! What a game changer. Thank you❤️

  • @juliefinnegan6548
    @juliefinnegan6548 Рік тому +33

    Favorite hack - the packaging tape dispenser!!! I wondered what-in-the-heck that plastic flap thing was for! THANKS!

    @louisedesantis6068 Рік тому +30

    I think adding Barbasol to my life would make the biggest difference. Men smell so pleasantly clean and fresh after they shave. I can imagine that fresh clean smell hanging around awhile when the Barbasol is used to clean the toilet hinges, or to slather over the tub. It’s easy, and it’s good value.

    When my son was young and learning how to make a bed he would get so frustrated with the pillowcases and pillows. So I came up with your very same hack, inside out. He was then able to do it easily and calmly! So that would be my favorite hack you did.

    The struggle is real with the silverware tray sliding around in the drawer. I did not think there could possibly be anymore hacks for pool noodles. Finally the exact right size! Thank you for all of your videos! Love your energy!!

  • @tammybrewer3047

  • @TracyAMead
    @TracyAMead Рік тому +15

    They are all great tips; but I think my favorite one is the bread hack - no more lost twisty ties or extra ones found in the bottom of the refrigerator. Thank you so much for sharing!

  • @subaru7233
    @subaru7233 Рік тому +122

    Adding to the tip about ironing tissue paper: for people who sew and use commercial patterns, it's a pain to fold those pieces back down to fit in the pattern envelope. I iron them as I fold. For multi-garment patterns, I layer the pieces for the garment together and iron and fold them together for next time, easier to find them.
    My favorite tip is Iron Out, I didn't know about it and it sounds great.

  • @laurieogle7257
    @laurieogle7257 Рік тому +197

    Love the cotton balls in the vacuum! Not only does the room smell great, it’s easier to keep the collection chamber cleaner. Love all your tips and tricks! Thanks!😊

    @lisaweidner6330 Рік тому +26

    Try also put a command hook on the trash can and pull down the red tie through the opening and latch it on the command hook the bag won't fall in. Also before you put it in the trash can turn your bag inside out and you won't have that air that fills up on the sides where you have to exhaust the bag No more

    My favorite hack was the museum gel because there are so many things that I would like to be stationary so that you don’t have to worry about running into the table and knocking off a vase or drinks. Love the idea, love your channel.

  • @veronicasalas2666
    @veronicasalas2666 Рік тому +54

    That shaving cream is the best stain remover on cloth, carpet, and upholstery. When I have a stain that WILL NOT come out, I grab the shaving cream. Found that hack on UA-cam over 10 years ago. Oh loved your WD40 video! Life changing 🙌 I agree about the flatter pillows 😂 love the Vaseline hack on the stove! Oh and love the panty liner in the pillow 🙌

    Now Andrea. How on earth do we pick "one?" I love all of your life hacks. I've been using the picture hangers and love them. I've got a list all ready for my caretaker. Iron Out?
    Wrinkled curtains: I use a small amount of fabric softener in the spray.

    Good morning ☀️ , I’m torn between two, the 1st is the nylon waist rubber band for trash bag fastener. The 2nd one is how to loosen a grocery bag. There are more favorites but these are the ones I would use on a daily basis 😊

    • @margaretclark9016
      @margaretclark9016 Рік тому +7

      I have used clothes pins to close bags of chips for years. They are so much quicker and easier than folding the bag down and getting grease and crumbs all over your hands.

  • @karenburke1100
    @karenburke1100 Рік тому +5

    I like the cotton balls with essential oils. I really liked how the cotton balls gathered dirt from the vacuum.

  • @MasterJamz6
    @MasterJamz6 Рік тому +3

    The panty liner in the pillow and the shaving cream in the bathroom were my favorites, and this is coming from a guy that was in a depression for so long, my house looked like a frat house that had been abandoned for at least, ten years!

    I thought I’ve seen every hack video out there and couldn’t learn anything more 😊I was wrong ! I’m definitely going to try the shaving cream one for my toilet and bathtub and the Vaseline stove one as well !

  • @dianajarmann1943
    @dianajarmann1943 Рік тому +16

    I love, love your hack where you use a pant hanger to hold a cookbook open, and it's off the counter, so you've freed up a bit of counter. I do have a cookbook stand but it doesn't hold the pages open enough so I end up using my messy hands to open the page more. Thank you for this video!

  • @donnalujan9541
    @donnalujan9541 Рік тому +8

  • @LockpickingsGal
    @LockpickingsGal Рік тому +55

  • @goldieford3353
    @goldieford3353 Рік тому +40

    All the tips are great. I loved the Dawn Power Spray replacement, but my favorite is cleaning with shaving cream. I am handicapped and cleaning the tub is a challenge. By the way, the undoing the knot in the Target bag is a new one for me. Love them all.

  • @judycochran2143
    @judycochran2143 Рік тому +5

  • @sakers00082010
    @sakers00082010 Рік тому +7

    I love all of these hacks and have used many myself over the years but my favorite is the panty liner one because that is one I have never seen or used and usually I use fabric softer in a spray bottle to spray down my pillows and bedding! Love watching your videos❤️

  • @debsittler5101
    @debsittler5101 Рік тому +10

    I loved these hacks the one I especially liked was the vacuum cleaner with the cotton balls soaked in a little bit of oil’s.

    @carolynwatts6447 Рік тому +18

  • @TS-qx4zk
    @TS-qx4zk Рік тому +39

    My favorite is using wd40 on crayons for the walls. I have grandchildren and I Lil one had a wonderful time being creative and artistic all over my floor, walls, furniture and wherever her little genius free mind took her. All of course before we noticed she started a masterpiece. The wd40 will definitely help with using less elbow grease. Thank you!

  • @vickigordon8311
    @vickigordon8311 Рік тому +58

    Hi Andrea, love your channel! Actually I love tip #1 the best. Placing a pad in the pillow that is scented is brilliant. I've tried the cotton balls (love that one too) and they fell out. Thank you for all the tips.

  • @Camille2337
    @Camille2337 Рік тому +10

    First time watcher, loved the bread bag hack and chip bag hack, I have been trying the chip bag one a little differently and your tips showed what I had been doing incorrectly. The bread hack I had seen for the first time at my mothers house and was very impressed with how cute it looks

  • @tharrison2646
    @tharrison2646 Рік тому +4

    I liked the fitted sheet folding. It is so difficult to do. Apparently you used more flexible sheets instead of cotton percale. Will see how the folding will work. Thanks for the tips.
