![[IKEA] 5+1 Cat Products -not for cat but cat love-](/img/1.gif)
This is truly the home of a humble maid and her cat overlords.
I just keep thinking that Jackson Galaxy would be very proud of this catification
agreed!
@@MeloCatMartin Serna BARAJAS @tsa @ohareairport @chicagoill you EDEMYleftovers MYWIFECHERIEANN FEEDS youjoto😂😂😂😂
I love how all these tips are actually practical and doable instead of all those fancy diys where you have to buy a ton of stuff beforehand!!
Some do but I try to keep it light~ glad you found it useful!
Well said
I feel like Ikea should hire you for their pet catalog this seems like something you could see there, they love showing the versatility of their products and you really did that!
lol... how to use ikea products for cats!!
@@MeloCatMartin Serna BARAJAS @tsa @ohareairport @chicagoill you EDEMYleftovers MYWIFECHERIEANN FEEDS youjoto😂😂😂😂
Genious, I love how cat people are sooo intelligent and creative, dexterous, you are best ! And having a heart for these sweethearts, feeling what they need, so many babies in a small apartment, instead of excuses - LOVE, love can solve so much problems. And best of all, your working cabinet is in their playground salon. Just what they want MOST, *your company* ; cats, above all, desire their human's ( guardian / parent / sibling / friend's ) company.
Thanks for saying that. Someone pointed out to me that I spend lots of time with them compared to a lot of owners they hear who just go home, go in their phones, shut their cats out when they sleep, and go to work the next day.
We do have much more quality time together! Lots!
And they are such a joy for us too. 🐱@@MeloCat
i love that the cats are sitting on chairs when they got all this lol
Cats being cats ~ that will change dramatically when someone comes over~

@@MeloCat#TSA employee Martin Serna Barajas at ohareairport uses his job to turn married woman into his personal whorse by offering them to take them everywhere he must fly free because he I've been married 34 years and he gave my wife his number when she was with my two-year-old child this person is a low life loser scumbag he does nothing but harass her me my son by sending endless s*** about eating her on every site he's got hundreds of emails and hundreds of thousands of names that he makes up and sense to my wife and I have endless proof so she can meet him oh 4,000 followers but nobody following so she follows them he sends her names on Snapchat she puts it into blocked she unblocks it he calls her I mean this is a scumbag what kind of person is this person you got work how many lives does he got to destroy now you don't only lose your air wife I can't wait to tell the Chicago newspaper this story
Thanks for pointing out to the unaware, maybe new, cat parent, the many sneaky things cats can do to 1)hurt themselves and/or 2) destroy your stuff. And your many sneaky inventions to thwart their misdeeds. You know how to use the tape, as I do. One of my tips is to use poster putty (blu-tak) to keep things from being pushed off of surfaces. I put 2 or three tiny balls of the stuff on the bottoms of items and press them down onto the surface. Has spared me many a broken vase or knick-nack.
Holy crap. If I lived on my own, I would love to do something like this. Working on getting my bedroom catified. Inspirational cat lady.
Awwww thanks! I love the place and so do they
Hi until you live on your own, keep working with what you have. You can go big someday
Your cats have you well trained! 😹
It's true ~ they sure did
Could you please make a video on how you clean your house, cat furniture and toys?
If you have already talked about it in a past video, can you just send a link in the reply?
I love how much you care about your cats and how much effort you put into making their place comfortable for you as well! They are very lucky kitties and you seem to care a lot about every aspect of their well-being. Awesome job! :)
Thank you, I spend a lot of time to learn how to give them a better life... always more to learn everyday^^
@@MeloCat 🧡
I aspire to be this kind of cat lady
I'm not even a cat and I already want to live in your apartment 👀👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻😻
Hahahaha should I setup an Airbnb?
@@MeloCat 😂
Our local IKEAs in Romania carry the sisal scratch wraps - about 20RON or $5 US. One tip: the velcro on them is near worthless, I use plastic wire zip ties (available at any hardware/home improvement store in the electrical section) to attach them to table legs. Also, with some scrap lumber and a staple gun, you can make your own really creative scratch toys with them!
Another tip for apartment dwellers: Here in Bucharest most windows are the style that either swing open, or tilt inwards about 20-30 degrees. While tilted inwards, my cats love to lounge around on the top of the window frame. To prevent them from falling out the top, I picked up a 110mm PVC drain pipe, cut it to length, and lay it across the top to block the gap where a cat could fall thru. I'm probably not explaining it very well, but imagine a V with an O on top of it (that probably doesn't help much either LOL)
And the best way I've found to secure window screens is to screw in eyelets. One in each corner of the screen frame and a corresponding one on the window frame, then you can use any of a variety of devices to keep the screen closed and safe. Your local hardware store will have tons of options for $1-2 or less.
Oh good stuff!!! Thanks so much for that too bad we have a diff stock here w IKEA....eek
This is crazy! Respect haha. I have 3 but i dont let them take over the apartment quite as much. I am trying to build some stuff for them like wall perches though. I like how you do such a good job keeping your place tidy despite all the cats. Also i like that every detail has cat safety and comfort in mind.
Well I just thought go big or go home, and since they spend most of their lives at home might as well I do a kickass job~
Jackson Galaxy would recommend a litter box in each room. Love all you have done to catify your home. Yes, cats are ninjas. Lol. I live in a 11x16 foot cabin with a loft. Trying to figure out what I can do for my inside cats as well. I live on 16 acres so plenty of outside room for my outside cats as well.
i dont think that’s necessary when her house is literally two rooms and a half
I have 42 rescued cats and i love to find other people that have lots of cats😻
Good job there! Welcome to my channel
42!! I have 2 old lady's and recently rescue a litter of 5 and I'm going crazy, how you do?
Это здорово!
Но скажите как вы избавляетесь от шерсти котов в доме?
У меня их трое, убираю каждый день, а шерсть всё равно везде 🤗
Oh my thank you for being a kind person and taking in so many cats
New subscriber ! And fan ! You had me at, "It's not my house. It's their house "
This is amazing. This is incredible. Non sarcastically, the effort and love you have given for your cats is so sweet. Just found your channel today. Saw the Ding Ding intro vid and the Burrito hero vid first. I miss cats as I used to volunteer at two animal shelters working at one kitten nursery and two a senior sanctuary. Thank you for these videos. God bless you.
Also saw the vid of Strawberry's sling. I'm a first responder as a pharmacy technician who took two Red Cross classes so feline first aid turned out to be very interesting there.
Actually One of the Better ones 😻
You have done a great job setting up your apt for the cats.
soo cute how you diy engineered your place into a cat battle station ahah
Seriously. So awesome so much work lol
A cattlestation? :P
@@HighLordSythen Thought cattle is something different though. XD
@@ranmakuro True lol.
Improve? Bro this vid is 2 years old and still one of the best cat appartments out there.
Awww thanks !!! It's at 2.0 now which reminds me I should do an update
Best cat mom ever:-) ❤
I love how u turned your space into a all cat space for your kitty , ❤️I just love you,, ❤️❤️💕💕💕🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
This was me... when I was 16 that is. I had a big- and I mean BIG cat as a pet and I wasn't allowed to let it out of my room when I wasn't home. so I invented many places for him to hide, climb and play in- even though my room was about 300cm x 400cm in size XD
Loved the cat, but that was no way to live- for him or me... so I had to give him to a family that had way more room for him and now when I look back, I am proud of accepting such a hard choice.
If she is happy and the cats are happy, then rock on girl haha
I understand.... aww~
@@MeloCat I really wish I could do the things that you have done for your cats! But I'm not so sure now days of ever being able to have cats at all and well my moms allergic to them so I wouldn't want that to keep her from visiting me. She would probably still visit, but couldn't stay for long and be comfortable. :(
She adores cats and many other animals like dogs, but I feel saddened, given that she has allergies to so many of them...
Probably the only way I could have a cat is if was an outdoor cat and I lived some where that it would be more okay to let them roam outside? I'd probably get some sort of tracking collar or something so that I would know they safe at least... Life is a lil unfair sometimes lol
Outdoor cats live a lot shorter as they often get hurt or killed outside.... so it really depends .....
I was so allergic to cats too, they are my number one allergen... look at me now
@@MeloCat yeah, I've heard of allergies going away for your own pets, but as my mother doesn't live with me, I don't see her ever getting rid of the allergies she has if I had a cat. I know that cats that live outdoors can easily get hurt on their own, but so far my bf parents cat has lived to 12years of age, without any issues and tbh if he was suddenly kept as a household cat, he would become depressed. He is sweet and loving cat, but he rather roam free and come home whenever.
In my case I'd want an outdoor cat as I plan to have ducks/chicken and their feed may attract rodents or other pests so a cat would help keeping them at bay or at least lower their numbers.
You’re my inspiration! When you walk into my apartment, you’re going to KNOW kitties live there! I’m going to spoil my kittens!!! 😍😍😍😍
Make sure you're careful about what they can possible fall onto , that's one key to the vertical apartment ~ coz accidents will happen, that's what we learned ~ meow
Thanks For saying that we love you too!
@@MeloCat thank you! ❤️❤️
that view in your bedroom is absolutely stunning. prime cat tv.
It really is! That's why I picked this place--- cat TV!
It would be so nice to have a girl whi loved cats.
Thanks for all the great ideas, and love from Florida USA 🇺🇸 ❤️
I super love this video as you genuinely adore your cats just like I love mine to the moon and back though I barely have the means to buy stuff for them, I still am taking care of their food and water and ore hugs and kisses from me is the best thing
My current cats don't attempt to pee/poo in the tub but I've cats that would. The water in the tub trick is brilliant! Love this whole video!
you're a great cat mom! I love how you adapted your space for their enjoyment, you inspire me!
Thank you I put a lot of effort into it. I just thought as they spend most of their time inside the house it is very important that it is a place that is not only comfy but they need to have a playground as well, it's good for both the mind and body ~
I love that too, it means love. It's not just their enjoyment, but also necessity for health, and both is very important. I have one recommendation for you , the new system of litter boxes, the wood pellets ( it is of *LIFE IMPORTANCE that it's kiln dried* ), in a double bottom litter box, first one is mesh holed so that the dissolved sawdust falls down into the collecting box. I watched on VICTORIAN GARDENS CATTERY channel, but there are tons more and with more tricks no doubt, cos cat people are smart and individual at solving problems. @@MeloCat
Wow, I feel cat proof educated 101 now and very inspired!! Plus, u seem so neat. Thank u for sharing...
Thanks glad it helped!
"I wanna improve.." How could you ever?! Admirable coexistence! Regards from Chile!
Awwww thank you for saying that!
Merrrooow, Cat Mum and Meows enjoying their custom Cat House!
Oohhh what a wonder woman you are... every thing you do...
totally fallen in love with you and your cats❤❤❤
Merry Christmas ❤❤❤❤
I love what you did to keep your cats happy and entertained!
My recommendation when it comes to functional furniture is the Ivar shelf from Ikea because it comes in multiple heights and is so adjustable with crates as cat houses, curtains or sisal rope wrapped around the side parts. Mine love to climb all the way to the top and just chill up there.
(Edit) Regarding toilets: I use huge, deep stainless steel food containers that you use in catering. From my experience the urin doesn't eat itself into the material like it does with plastic. Downside, they don't come with hoods/lids like the plastic ones.
Good stuff! just make sure it's secured to the wall so it doesnt fall over, maybe cut some holes for cats to go thru for the shelfs, bam!
for the stainless steel pans, I'm curious how the cats react when the paw the stainless steel w claws?
Since the highest Ivar is around 2,20 m high it always has to be secured to the wall, even without cats in the house 😁I build mine like a staircase so they mostly use the top, but one can adjust the boards in an irregular way you don't even have to cut any holes 👍
For the pans: they don't care at all And it's always filled to at least 10-15cm.
Great tip on the irregular shelf placement... You're right, as there is left and right side.... wow this is good stuff!!!
Thanks so much, please feel free to join my discord-- you would be a great addition to that group! the description has the link~ looking forward to seeing you there:)
@@MeloCat Thank you for your kind feedback! I'd consider joining your group and wish you a great day!
Totally lookin forward to see you in there~
Great thorough video, love seeing ppl make whatever situation they're living in work for them as well as their cats
Wow! I’m amazed! thank you for the tips!
Glad it helped!!
You could protect the hole in the lid of the fish tank with a metal mesh, so the cats don't reach inside. And put a handle on top to lift it up.
I don't know, if you did it already, since this video was just recommended to me
No I didn't, wow thanks for that suggestion
Greetings from Chile, I'm a 31 y/o man who loves cats! I actually been to Hong Kong, and I loved it!
Currently I'm nursing an old cat rescued from Rapa Nui (Easter Island). He is not good at drinking water, I'll try your tricks!
Love your vids, keep'em coming!
a trick: watch series at kaldrostream. Me and my gf have been using it for watching a lot of movies these days.
@Maxton Johan definitely, I've been watching on Kaldrostream for since november myself :D
@Maxton Johan Definitely, been using KaldroStream for months myself :)
@Maxton Johan Yea, have been watching on Kaldrostream for since december myself :)
@Maxton Johan Yea, I have been watching on kaldroStream for years myself :)

Great, creative, caring catification!!! You ROCK!!!❤❤😼😼😽😽🙀🙀😾😾😸😸😺😺😻😻
Thanks the cats approved!
😆 Im soooooo happy YTs algorithm finally suggested a sight that is really amazing!! Im a recent cat 🐱 mom and am so inspired by your vid. Subscribed!!! 💗🌿
You may actually need a bigger appartment! Great catifiation hacks - you have given me some ideas.
At 14:39 - In Australia, we call them Electric Blankets.
Thanks
Hahaa in Hong Kong my place is for a family of 4-5... most places here are tiny. You know a 500 square feet apartment here is easily 1.5 mil USD ... So I guess I really need to make that dough for an upgrade~ hhaaaaa
Still a great video.
A good tip for keeping cats away from cords is to use soap or dishwasher on them. Or even hand cream. Cover the cord, they will taste the soap, and that's it.
Same with cats who like to eat bags...
Winter is coming on and I will be breaking out the space heaters. I am definitely will be trying that.
This is what my apartment looks like however everyone hates it says it looks like it playground..
I Love it ❣️ Your Cats have the Life.😻
Loved the small hacks here and there! The crates are def great ideas! :D
You are a freaking genius, Melody! I have seen a lot of art and science went into your design. Oh man, I am dying to visit this place. Maybe next time on my way back home, I will drop by to say hello.
Thank you! It's a lot of work but definitely worth it!!!
first time cat mom here and I’m still trying to figure out what to do with my new apartment. thank you for the inspiration and advice.
You got this!
I love everything you have done to your home.
Love the thought put into providing a happy home for your cats. Thanks for some new ideas to add to my catification.
I'm just starting my catification!
@@jyes23. That's great! We all begin at the 'just starting' moment.
This has a lot of great tips thank you so much!
Hi MeloCat, I am new subscriber and love what you do for our little furry friends. Your home is awesome and your family is happy and well cared for. I adopted a little Calico kitty at only 3 yrs old and never been loved by human touch. It took me almost 2 years to win her love. My little Munchkin has 8 beds and I have half of one. Do take care and lots of love.
Beautiful
Wow you got 9 cats i have only 1 but im gonna adopt 5 other!!!
meow you're gettin there~
Wow just wow! You got a new sub. Sooo many GREAT ideas in here, thank you !
Thanks for subbing! I'm glad the video was useful ~
I really enjoy your videos my boyfriend and I have 4 cats and we’re moving and this helped so much 🥺🐾❤️
That is awesome! Thanks for watching my videos and joing this wonderful community, hows the move?
Ohh I loved the way of your presentation graphics
Love your apartment ❤️
This was so helpful!!
The dangly doodoos
This is so epic! I've been looking for ideas, and scored on this video! I was thinking of going to ikea today, but now I'm for sure going. Sometimes, I actually order certain products to be delivered because I know it's coming in a large box that I can add to my cat room. It's always cute when I first take the box into the cat room, they all rush it and play in it.
I can't wait to use some of these ideas you have here.
Hey I'mg glad this is useful to you. In fact I am making an elaborated video on this one to further some details. But just in case I didn't stress enough.... Make sure things are really secured onto the walls and add more L brackets and deep screws into the walls to withstand their weight as constant bounding up and down those shelves really wears it out. The more cats the more frequent the check up too (for anything wiggling)~ Meow~ Stay safe~
@@MeloCat Yeah, I got a nice big container of 50lb drywall anchors. Can't wait to get started this weekend.
Let me know how it went
Great video! Thank you for the tour of your, and your kitties’, super cool home (with that spectacular view!). I’ve been looking for something that will provide traction and a little cushioning on some kitty wall steps I put together (IKEA Lack shelving unit) and your carpet squares are the perfect answer: Already ordered some using your link. Still figuring out the full-room circuit so thanks for all the tips!
Glad you liked it, then you might like this video too!

Have a blast!
Hi, I really love what you've done for your cats. Do you have 9 cats? I have 2, but they are only kittens coming on for 4 months old. I have a small flat/apartment 1 bedroom too. I'm hoping that because you've managed what you have for your 9 cats, I can manage for my 2 cats quite a bit of this. I don't know if I'll let them take over my flat quite as much, but I can see why you have because you've quite a few cats more than I have & you need to keep them all happy and give them their individual spaces. I can see that you've really considered the happiness of your cats first and foremost, though I'm sure they all make you very happy in return. Now that my kittens are turning 4 months old, I'm noticing they are having quite a bit of jump and one of my kittens especially is looking up high and meowing so she must now want to go higher. I am now starting to put things up on the walls and on my living room window to give them a view of the outside. Only one thing that I will say scared me with your video - the view from your bedroom window. Sooooo high!!, how many floors high are you? And the kitchen window scared me, but I am glad that your cats are safe and well. I live in Scotland btw, and we do have Ikea here too but I'm unsure if those scratching things for desk legs are there. I will need to keep an eye out, thanks very much.
I'm getting a cat soon so this is great!
😍love your home
Apart from the covered litterboxes, very nice catification! 🙂 Keep it up!
Actually I tossed the lids out for half of them now, only 1 is truly covered now...
You are the youngest crazy cat lady I've seen to date, and I LOVE IT! I will definitely be using some of your suggestions. Some of your ideas I have already been thinking about implementing, so it's fantastic to see them actually in action. Thank you so much for your video! ❤
Thank you! Many people don't realize how much we can do in an apartment as we often only think of floor space... lots can be moved up and it's what makes them confident ~ they love it, the hideouts really help with their well being, stimulation and the shy cats who just want their me time~
lol i like your idea of the cats sit and watch TV where they want too and you have to look for a open space lol. kinda like my house 2
I would love to do all these shelves, but landlords generally don't like you to put all those holes in the walls :( will probably have to stick with the suction cup ones on the windows
I renovate the place and resurface all the walls when I leave so the place looks better than when I moved in. Win win
Love yr video, thx🙏❤️
Glad you liked it
That little bit of exposed wire would be chewed in half in 5 minutes here. Had a box over my keyboard cord. Don't know how Whisper even got to it. Tape saved me!
Actually there is a lot of actually going on. :D But some nice ideas you've got there.
She has a lot of cats but a downscale version is perfect for the average owner
Hi, there. How do those tubes physically get attached to the wall? Same with the platforms and crates, please? Is that really t-shirts for the cat hammocks? Thanks!
Okay, so I get it, it's a cat apartment! The human comes to visit and gets in the way!
I pretty like the small ventilation fan on your window so the air is in good quality. And can I ask where do you live?
0:59 Chi!!!
Love all your ideas. You have done an Amazing job!, I live in a tiny studio apt with a Bengal kitten who I call Timothy the “tornado “ Im considering a rescue, but another exotic😱.. thanx to you I feel like it can be done, as long as I keep your #1 rule priority,
This is a kat house,
Thanks and totally agreed w your house rule, love it!
Your multiple litter boxes really helped & got me thinking,. I’m in a very small apartment and bought one of these for a test run, eliminated the odour and mess, looks great, can dbl as shelving and storage with a little engineering . Great quality stuff.
The cats prefer the litterbox with no cover because the other ones with a cover on top make the cats feel trapped inside (and without knowing who's waiting for them outside) and because the fatc the litterbox is covered it will smell less for us humans on the outside but it will smell more for the cats inside.
I never had a covered litterbox and will never have. It's not even good for an easy and regular clean up and not good to see if it needs to be cleanned. My cats eat good (and unfortunelly expensive) food and have open litterboxes with the cheapest and most commun sand (not that cheap now that everything comes from Ukraine, even the sand I guess).
A thing I would say every cats' lovers should buy is a water dispenser with fountain. Cats prefer drinking running water and not stagnant water and therefore will drink more water and will have less health problems related with that. There are water dispensers with fountain very cheap and any cat lover will be glad with the result.
I just subscribed and I have to say. I ❤ you. I love how you think of your pets needs over your own. I do the same with mine. You're a great cat mom.
It's about coexisting, I think about how to satisfy both our needs in a harmonious way! Thanks for following!
hahahahahaha......................you live like me,I have a very smal house,but I live there with 7 dogs and 8 cats.So most of the place are full with cat and dog-beds 🙂 But I am lucky I have a big yard for the dogs to play and the cats have the hole Attic to play ,sleep and also the Litter-Boxes ( 6 XXL Boxes ) are there and a King-Size Bed 🙂 But most of the time they are snuggling with the dogs or they are sleeping in front of my fire Place,special in Wintertime.Dogs are Rescues from Romania and Spain and most of the Cats I found by myselfe in the fields.I live in the outback, far away from the next town and have only 1 neighbor, which is ideal for me and the animals.So merry Chrismas and cuddles for your sweet fur Kids.
Aww Merry Christmas to you and your furry babies!!! Welcome to my channel and thanks for helping all these fur kids~ Love from HK~
Me encantó
Glad you loved it!
These are great ideas, but sadly most are not doable for renters who aren't allowed to nail/screw things into the walls :(
If you're tricky, you might be able to wedge shelves in between window or door frames, with extra support from command strips and string tied to tacks pushed into the top of the frames. The suction cup plant holders supports could also work for windows.
Can consider the window hammocks, those work real well~
They have the ikea cat scratch wrap in canada and I think it's genius.
I hope that space is very well ventilated...
So the studs are 16 inches apart. I had to return the cat hammock since it’s width is less than 16 inches which means there will be holes on the wall and it’s not properly supported.
Where did you find the hammock dishes? The ones with the wire supports. I want one of those.
It's in the description ~
What is the name of the Ikea shelf?- i cant seem to find it or something similar.
I put just a strong magnet that has command strip to keep my chemical cabinets shut. It's not strong enough to keep a person out but so far it deters my kitty from getting into it. I'm fine with her going into other cabinets to sniff the interesting pots and pans since I don't keep food in there.
How do you stop them from getting to your clean cutlery and crockery when it’s out drying? Or climbing up coats on coat hooks?
Cutlery- Those are in cabinets ....and I got a second room to keep my clothes etc~
My cats own the living room and all closets… beds
I just discovered you and love your videos Mellocat. Thanks for sharing. I love how you’ve turned your house into a home for them. I was wondering if you own your home or rent? And if there are any restrictions on how many animals you can have where you live. Where I am I need a permit to own even 3 cats (which I do) and I want to take in my sisters two since she’s had to leave her home and move into a bus to travel to find work, rendering her practically homeless. 😔
With the introductions are they ever rocky? I feel I got lucky introducing my two to the new one after seeing some things about how you’re meant to introduce them and all the things that can go wrong if you don’t do it slowly and gently enough. Maybe you have a video on it and I have to just keep binging your channel. :-) all my admiration from 🇦🇺
Here it's either you can have or not have cats, no specifics on that here in HK.
I usually take my time when introducing the new cats, If you look at DingDing coming home, that video is quite gradual... See the video here: ruclips.net/video/y0akujgf7UQ/видео.html
Thanks for watching my videos~
The fragrance your babies are after in the cleaning products might be bleach. Apparently bleach contains the same compounds as catnip. My boy used to roll around on the floor after I cleaned the shower or mopped with bleach! So we had to switch to non bleach products just to keep him safe (don't want him licking the floor, etc).
Oh interesting , thanks for that... oh my!!!
@@MeloCat My pleasure! I had no idea myself until I Googled "why does my cat roll on the floor after I clean" and was like 🤯
One of my cats licks my skin if I've had my hands in bleach water
How did you reinforce the bookshelf? My cats would love that!
You know the metal L shaped brackets that gets heavily screwed deep into the wall? Those. We have about 4 under that bookcase, the contractors said if you want more reinforcements you can put them not just at the bottom shelves but the middle ones too.... we get them checked out every 4 months for loose screws as they jump around a lot. But so far everything's pretty good. But periodic checks highly recommended !
Hi melocat, may i know what camera equipment you used to record your cats? It's very clear :) thanks for taking care of cats!
Good question, i think it was a sony a6500, taken from my friend~
What do you spray your shoes down with? I love that idea.
Hypochlorous acid... it's safe even for babies and animals ~
@@MeloCat Thank you so much!
Did you ever talk about it in another video? How to fix the hazard on the hammocks?
