Добавлен 15 ноя 2015
After a few decades on this earth raising kids, working various jobs (a waitress, an engineer with the Army Corps of Engineers, a videographer for a talent agency) and being a somewhat "handy" person, I've decided to share some of my favorite tips. These are the tips that when I share with my friends, or they see me use them, they say "wow, that is clever," or "I'm going to do that." If I can help make anyone's life a little easier, I'll feel like I've helped the world in my own small way. :) Enjoy.

General Finishes Java Gel Stain tip to save hours maybe DAYS!!
When will these companies fight back on government on our behalf and let them know this regulation is frustrating all of us. Cloths and linen still dirty and don’t smell clean. Lots of issues with skin allergy because of this.
None of these machines wash clothes having to wash twice is not water efficient dumb ass Obama! I'll bet he doesn't wash any thing, right Michelle? Before I take the sledge hammer to my machine I want to figure out how to get rid of this ridiculous setting because my size selections are not working anymore!
How do you deal with the ugly clear plastic tabs that secure the mirror?
wow! this has been driving me crazy! I am doing the "added water" right now!
Too much face time. You skipped the painting demo and went to finish product and talking.
Could this water hack work on HE front load washers?
I’m going to try that on my front load HE washer and see if it puts more water
I need a wife like this who loves to do laundry....😊😊
No one said I loved/liked it, but I sure need it to be as easy as possible!
Thank you for the suggestion. I gave up on planting anything. I garden on my deck and i have an acre lot. I will definitely try it.
Shame you don’t actually show you doing the work 😢
Ya I did this before, but still not enough water, if you look inside you'll see the clothes still aren't submerged. They really messed us up w these mandates
Someone on this site said they use the bulky cycle. I tried it and what a difference. It fills the wash tub full, to the top like it's supposed to. What a game changer!! I keep it on bulky and don't change.
Help me understand If I add liquid detergent ( I don’t use pods) to the bottom of machine, add clothes, then start died the detergent drain out before the load even starts? You state in video that the machine does a drain b/f it even weighs the clothes I’m confused
The wet clothes tip works in 2024, thank you
Wish you would have actually shown you doing the work.
I did not want to pay for this efficiency washer
No. You don't "have to have" one. They're gross and leave your clothes filthy. How do I clean one that I can't fill with water? Why do you have to have a washer you have to "trick" into working well. Front loaders are even worse.
Thank you soooo much for this great tip!
We just used your tip in our brand new Whirlpool and it was amazing! I was so mad at the mistake we made in giving up our 20-yr old Whirlpool Gold, but you have brightened our day. Now, if someone (hint, hint, Deidre) could figure out how to get the impeller to be more effective. I prefer the old-timey buttons and knobs, but it is what it is. Will learn to live with the lesser product we are now stuck with.
I love you!!!!!!!
I have finished staining my dining table with GF java gel and waited 3 days before spraying the shellac you recommended. I seem to have some hazy white spots on the dried table. Is it important to remove these spots before I apply GF high performance top coat? share.icloud.com/photos/0e7_59bMP-64HFFCdiF5c29JA
The haziness generally happens from humidity. Yes I would certainly let all that moisture release before putting anything else on the surface
3:40 bbbaaahahahahahahah
It works, thank you.
I had that frustrating "not sufficient" water to wash. For Front Loads, 5mins after wash cycle starts, slowly pour in extra water through the detergent dispenser.
What color if stain did you use?
LMAO😂😂😂😂😂😂 I don't feel so bad. I recently had my washing machine repaired and it came back with a new head and barely gets the clothes wet so now I dragged the garden hose in and filled it halfway with water before I start it. Same with rinse cycle.
Power creeps just want every depressed & dingy-looking
From your future : manufacturers had to add a "deep wash" cycle, which uses more water, to get clothes clean. Maybe.
I tried this water hack and it works here too. I’ve had nothing but skin problems and I was suspicious it’s the machine and the new way to do laundry. I don’t know if it’s the entire story but I’m definitely using your tip to get cleaner clothes. Thank you!!
I pour 5 gallons of water into every load to wet the clothes. Then, I add 3 gallons of water after the machine stops "filling" with water. "HE" washers are a joke.
This worked great! Did it just a little while ago. I hate this washer that came with my new house.
How can you add water AFTER the machine has started. Just add more water. Is there a way to do that from the machine?
We are lucky to be able to do a load at all
So pretty!!!
Thanks, just got an HE washer about 2 months ago, I actually thought it was broken the first load I did. I'm going to start doing this though.
My laundry sink is right next to my washer. I just pull the faucet over to the washer and add enough water to cover 2 inches above the clothes level. But, I have to return and do it again for the rinse cycle. It sure makes the clothes a lot cleaner.
Omg! So glad I found this! Just got my new LG and was almost in tears seeing the water barely covering my clothes! Your tip worked beautifully! Thank you
it actually worked on my gtw465asn0ww... gracias!
You are a genuius!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💖💖💖💖
It doesn’t give enough water to really wet clothes, (even small loads, no I’m not overloading) and it really mangles your clothes. I’ve lost more buttons than I care to sew on! Clothes don’t seem to rinse well. Totally dissatisfied customer!
vote trump and get this fixed
This is fine for smooth walls but isn't enough for textured, unfortunately, where the wall is literally too physically rough for the tape to make a full seal.
Thank you for this helpful video
You could choose the deep water cycle.
It still won't fill the tub more. I have mine set on Max and it doesn't cover the clothes.
I have been having such a hard time even wording my search to where I can come up with something practical. After having shoulder surgery I'm extremely limited on the type of exercise I can do and lifting my bicycle was not on the list! Thank you so much for this video
I Have a machine just like this but its a kenmore 100 series he top loader. this hack is helpful, however I did find another way on my washer to add more water to it . with mines if you open it and then close the lid it adds a little water , so what i did is i located the lid switch and keep pressing / tripping it so its continually adding water into the washer basket and i can fill it all the way up with water so all of my laundry is fully submersed in water and detergent and comes out smelling clean and fresh. Next washer i buy im just going to locate my nearest used appliance store and pickup and older 90s or 80s washer and call it a day lol
I might also add that for those of you looking for a way to lower your monthly cost for water, you can use your washing machine water on your plants (not veggies) and it works well on grass too including nut and citrus trees. I found out after changing clorox bleach for vinegar that the plants actually really like it! I was afraid I would find everything hung over and dead but it was just the opposite, give it a try!
I read a lot of the comments and I wanted to cry because my older sister and I have been going through this for years with our "new" washer. There were literally times we washed sheets and they did come out with areas that were dry, literally dry, never got wet after going through the entire cycle! We had bought a new Kenmore from Sears because our mother always swore by them, but this has been nothing but complete disappointment!!! We even had to have the washer replaced with another "new" Kenmore because the memory chip in the first one went crazy!! We literally cried over the aggravation these washing machines have caused and the lack of cleanliness we are all living with. We have kept buckets that we can fill in the kitchen and walk them into the laundry room to add water to the machine once it has begun filling. I even talked to my sister about installing a "pot filler" which is another spigot with a long arm, that we could use to fill the washer up with enough water to actually wash the clothes verses semi wetting them! I am going to try your approach to wetting everything first, I had also thought about just setting a filled container into the machine as it fills and see if that works. That however requires you to stand there and watch it and stop it, to get your container out prior to the cycle beginning. I am just so thankful to know we are not crazy!! These washing machines are horrible!! We should all send letters to the President if nothing else and let him know of our complaints on this. You can contact him or his office on the internet, I have done it several times!
I wouldn't bother with the current occupant. Wait until President Trump gets back into office.
My washing machine is in the basement and going up and down stairs to get. Water to do this is ridiculous and time consuming i want my old washing machine back!!!
Seven years after that post the low water problem still exists. My faithful Amana washer just died and I had to buy a new machine. I've had it half a day and hate the thing already. The barrel filled partially, not even covering the load. The agitator barely moves the blanket I wanted washed. You can't prefill the barrel because the lid locks. Why do I need a locking lid? I don't! I can't add bleach to the water because the water only runs when the infernal lid is locked. Too many cons to this stupid "smart" machine. I wish I'd have spent my money fixing my old faithful.
Energy efficiency and conservation are garbage ideas. Make more power. Make more clean water.
