My tip for the shower is to move your soap out of the way of flow of water. As it sits there on the holder the water will continue to hit it therefore causing it sit in the water when the shower is not in use. I have mine placed on the same wall as the shower head but higher up on the wall along with a soap saver underneath. Works great.
Just incase you didn't know, the clear plastic liner can be washed out in the washer with the curtain, then put back on to drip dry in the shower. The bar soap issue and all soap residue, can easily be removed with dish soap❣️ My family is mostly soap bar users.
Hi Catherine, I also hated that happening with the bar soap on a dish or even on the shower tower. I found some things called soap savers on Amazon. They work great but they may not fit on the soap dish. You may need to put it on a shelf of your shower tower. They are pads that you put the soap on and the drainage stays on them. Just rinse them and you may need to rub the excess soap off a little bit with your hands. But they really contain the excess soap!
I have struggled applying caulk. One tip is before you apply new caulk, put a layer of painters tape above and below the caulk line. Once you apply caulk, smooth with your tool, then pull the tape off for a clean edge.
i love this “real” video not everyone will do this bit you did and thank you… gives us “motivation” and encouragement to do the tasks that deadly and tiresome to even think of doing… so thank you for the everything, honestly ….sometimes it takes us to see it done before we tackle the deadly job we do not want to do… So thank you and your videos bring me personally so much peace and comfort… thank you 🙏🏼
Yes, clean dryer vents. In addition to using my brush that fits down into the lint trap in the dryer, I hire a company every year to do the vent leading outside. I’m so afraid of fire!
I love that you said don't even tell me if I did it wrong. I can so relate! So many UA-camrs mention breaking cameras during filming. That stinks. Glad your dryer is better.
Catherine,, another option for a bar of soap. Wal-Mart has what looks like a sponge but they are hard. They're very inexpensive and you can rinse them with warm water. No more soap gunk 😊.
This may be a strange comment but I really enjoy the music you put in your videos! I watch a lot of cleaning videos and most of the time the music annoys me so much I start to skip but your music choice flows really well with your videos!!
I cleaned out my dryer vent a few months ago. Was not bad at all however we don't have basements here so the vent going outside is short and goes straight out vs having to travel up then out but def important to clean them for sure! Also I wish my bank account refilled as fast as my laundry basket🤣🤣 also another laundry funny I saw "based on the amount of laundry I do every week im gonna have to assume there are people living here I haven't met yet."🤣 Thanks for the motivation!
Put the soap where the water doesn’t hit it. That will help a lot. We got a little soap dish that was made out of wood and we put it on the back corner where the shower curtain ends. Then it can dry off properly between showers and doesn’t just disintegrate from the water hitting it :) ❤
In theory it sounds like a good idea but I feel like he’d still put it in that spot 😂 can’t teach an old dog new tricks, right?! Haha worth a try though!!
Catherine, Powerful message about the dryer vents in our homes! Had mine done this past fall and was amazed at what was lining the vents!! Thank you!! A thought on laundry folding… as someone who hates turning clothes right side out when folding laundry, I have started turning the clothes right side out when taking them off. Then as I fold my load of laundry it goes much faster as I don’t have to slow down to turn clothes right side out at that time!! Just a thought! Love your videos and content!! Big fan in Colorado♥️
Great video. Nice job on the caulking! So glad you got the dry vent cleaned and fixed. A small time saving suggestion for laundry, if you turn everything right side out when clothes are removed and put in dirty cloths bin each time you wouldn’t have to spend so much time turning the entire load right side out at one time😊Love your content and always look forward to the next video.
Hi Catherine. Next time you caulk try putting down painters tape to keep your line clean. It helps a ton. Also a razor scrapper for the thinned out stubborn caulk. I think if you use silicone based caulk there’s also a solvent you can use to soften the old caulk. I can’t remember the name though.
Try Method Daily Shower Cleaner. After cleaning the shower, I spray it on after my shower (last of the night). It keeps the tile clean for a long time!
Wonderful video Catherine, I love watching your videos, they give me tons of motivation. Just to let you know, they have caulk remover at Lowe’s and Home Depot and it is reasonably priced. Good luck!
I would've cleaned the entire tub/shower before removing the caulking, and then cleaned where the caulking was without using water, just a damp cloth to remove any cleanser. It's there to keep water from running down the walls behind/under the tub and you were there spraying all the walls with water. Hopefully not much got down there. So a tip for next time, I guess!
Great video! Looks like the caulking came out great! It is allways crazy to me to think it is so hard to clean water! LOL Give me grease any day vs the bathroom! LOL
You're gonna laugh but I've been meaning to get the caulking done around my bathtub for A YEAR! I bought all the supplies and everything and just never did it. This video gave me motivation to finally do it, probably this weekend. 😅
Funny that you’re redoing the caulking in your shower because I just did ours as well. I found a video on UA-cam that made it so easy. I just used my finger and some soapy water to smooth out the caulking. It looked so even and amazing! It’s wild what a difference it can make to your whole shower/tub area
Good morning. 😊 Just wanted to say most ppl don't know to clean that part of the dryer and most of the time it's the cause of their dryer breaking. Love your videos.
I was someone who didn’t know this! I lived in apartments that had a laundry mat before buying our first home. Unfortunately, not everyone has parents to teach them these things so we had to learn it all on our own and be proactive. Our dryer had an error number pop up and when I read the manual it said to clean the dryer vents. I learned how to do it from a UA-cam video. Thankfully we’d only just bought our house but yea just a reminder not to judge people for not knowing everything. There’s a lot to know in life, and we all grow up in different environments 😊
Cool pillow! I wonder if you could put the shower parts in the top of your dishwasher? Grove collaborative makes a bamboo soap holder that washes off really easily and doesn't get too bad in the first place.
Im having a new washer and dryer being delivered in a few days and am not looking forward to pulling that dryer vent off. Its been about a year and a half since I cleaned it last.
Hi Catherine 😮 I’m so glad you and your husband cleaned out the dryer vent ! Wow ! Oh have you decided on the washing machine? Did you try to get fix or bought a replacement?
We were planning to buy a replacement but I ended up getting super sick last week and we never made it to check any out! We will probably buy a new one soon. For now I’m just fighting with ours daily!
I'm pretty sure those critters are millipedes. They like warm damp spaces like basements. And they aren't dangerous just creepy lol I recently cleaned out my dryer. For the same reason, my anxiety, it goes through the roof about house fires.
@@CatherineElaine yeah, I think I'd rather those then them big black house spiders! I'm terrified of my basement for that reason. 😂 I dread going down there and refuse to go alone haha
I don't understand.....if you take the time to do laundry, why would you fold it on the floor? Wouldn't it make more sense to fold it on the bed? Or use your spacious kitchen island.
I appreciate your content immensely but I don't get the washing of dishes etc...if you do have a dish washer which I don't , why not just wash them if you are gonna do it anyway with a dish washer....you wont die...you washed them already why do need to put them again in the dishwasher? I am sorry wash them, let them dry. I am sorry but double the work. Maybe I am missing something 😊 unnecessary

Great video!! We clean our dryer vent twice a year every 6 months, put a reminder on your phone calendar to clean dryer vent this really helps!
Setting a reminder now!
I love what you doing I like it keep on doing it I was I hope you do makeovers and decluttering
Yes, clean dryer vents. In addition to using my brush that fits down into the lint trap in the dryer, I hire a company every year to do the vent leading outside. I’m so afraid of fire!
Great video, Catherine. I totally felt your frustration when the laundry pile fell over 😂.
😂😂it was one of those days

Great video and cleaning motivation. I'm glad I'm not alone in delayed laundry and bathroom cleaning.
Definitely not alone!
Have the same oxo shower caddy and I agree its money well spent. Does not rust, and easy to clean.
Yes we’ve had it for years and no rust!!

Love you and your channel!!. You always do a great job! 😀❤
Thank you so much ☺️
This was such a motivating video 😊. I have been putting off re cocking our tub as well and I might have to get that bath pillow. ❤
🥰aw yay!! I’m so glad you enjoyed!

I used to use that religiously! I don’t know why I stopped

Get a soap saver. That helps. It sits under the bar of soap.

I’m not sure but I can’t see why not!
Ok, just a little fyi. When you put your steak knives in the block, turn them upside down and put them in. They will stay much sharper for longer. 🤗
Oh that’s interesting!! Thank you!
Im having a new washer and dryer being delivered in a few days and am not looking forward to pulling that dryer vent off. Its been about a year and a half since I cleaned it last.
Wow, Catherine that dryer vent was scary! Knowing me, I would have bought a new dryer!
Hi Catherine 😮 I’m so glad you and your husband cleaned out the dryer vent ! Wow ! Oh have you decided on the washing machine? Did you try to get fix or bought a replacement?
We were planning to buy a replacement but I ended up getting super sick last week and we never made it to check any out! We will probably buy a new one soon. For now I’m just fighting with ours daily!
In Germany we first remove the old silicone with a cutter knife or something like that and than we put on the new one.
The last time I did it with a retractable knife and I feared for my life! Haha
Great motivation
Thank you!!

There are companies that clean dryer vents professionally with big powerful vacuums. Should be done every year.😊
Yes! In the future we will definitely do that. We lived in a condo many years ago and they used to have a company come out yearly. It was nice!
I had a co worker that used to tell me two times a year time to check all your alarm batteries and your dryer vent. He has retired.
Wow, your hair is so nice and long!❤
I was supposed to have it done last Saturday but I was too sick 😭 I’m loving how long it is but can’t wait to get it colored!
even with the 15% off, I get past that price
I don't understand.....if you take the time to do laundry, why would you fold it on the floor? Wouldn't it make more sense to fold it on the bed? Or use your spacious kitchen island.
It just depends on what’s easiest in the moment
Wow, now I know why I usually don't read peoples comments! Some of you people are really mean and insensitive.
I always fear checking the comments 😓😅
