FOLEX is astounding. My poor mom at the end of her life got blood on the light carpet by her bed in her retirement home. No one could get it out and every day it reminded her of how ill she was 🫂 I ordered FOLEX, flew out to be with her at the end, and it took the blood right out. A very small thing, but it was one less thing weighing on her when she died. (Peacefully in hospice care at 91 ❤). Long story for an AMAZING product.
God bless you for giving your Mom that sense of comfort and peace in her last days on Earth. Also, you sold me on the product. I needed a good stain remover. ❤😉
I'm now convinced to get one - I kept seeing them but had visions of bits of clothing getting chewed up so stuck (literally) with the sticky rollers all these years.
As someone who works in a high-end printing and framing place, I wholeheartedly agree about the Amazon frames. $62 for a 24x36, or $41 for a 16x20 is terrific. Keep in mind that you can have a great 11x14 print, buy this 16x20 frame, and go to a shop like where I work and get a custom mat cut for it for about $15. The only thing even nicer than a framed print is a matted framed print.
Great input! An idea that I would like to share: If you buy an inexpensive downloadable print (One recommended source off the top of my head is Etsy), "paint" your print with Hodge Podge with the strokes going in the same direction as if you were painting. AE.G.: circular for an apple, horizontal for the sky, etc.). The h Hodge Podge dries clear and it makes your print look a LOT more authentic!
I never thought of just getting a mat cut, without buying a frame! My daughter is a watercolorist and I often find myself trying to find the correct size, or even similar size. Recently she started cutting her paper to more retail frame size which helps.
@@Pullisithe colored thick paper that sits on top of the artwork adding a coordinating color and holding the artwork away from the glass is called a mat in the US. For production produced sizes you can buy precut ones in limited colors but a frame shop will have big sheets that can be cut down to any size.
If I could only have ONE You Tube channel to watch for the rest of my existence, Nick’s would be it …100%. I love his attitude, sass, charm and of course excellent taste in decor, products, etc. ❤ Please don’t EVER change 😊
Another reason to get the grill cleaner scrubber: Those old wire brushes can shed their tiny bristles which end up in grilled burgers. Then lodged in your throat or stomach. Lots of news articles on this.
The scrub mommy is indeed better IMO. The soft side is good for wiping down the counter without leaving water streaks. They also sell 4-packs that are the same material as the scrub mommy but just regular rectangles for cheaper. I love them!
The Scrub Mommy paste is absolutely the best on my stainless steel sink. It comes in a container similar to car wax with a place to store the sponge in the lid. It removes the grime around the garbage disposal and erases the water spots, then leaves a shine that stays around a little longer than any other cleaner I have used. I am not a fan of stainless kitchen sinks, mine was here when I bought my house, but the paste does make it a little less of a pain. It is also all natural, so not harsh chemicals and that is awesome as well.
I only use scrub mommy but… I don’t use the sponge side it’s just soft for my hand to hold it. I just hate touching the rough scrub daddy side. 😂 I’m crazy.
“Sweet summer child, you don’t understand…” laughed so hard and yes also a Scrub Daddy convert after seeing a lady who does deep cleans on hoarded houses with them bc they really are the best. First time seeing this kinda video from you so really appreciate the review of the best at the beginning.
I realised I was firmly ensconced in middle age when I started singing the praises of the Scrub Daddy to everyone I talked to for a full two weeks after I caved in and bought one. They really are that good!
The Scrub Mommy is great if you do a lot of hand washing of more delicate dishes. It's the normal scrubby texture on one side and then a very dense soft sponge on the other that creates a fantastic bubbly lather. I tend to keep a Daddy in the bathroom and a Mommy in the kitchen, which is pretty much the extent of my gender-normative bullshit XD
@kathywiseman7944 My butter is made of milk and salt, and it doesn't go bad. So unless the manufacturer is breaking Australian consumer law by adding unlisted ingredients, you're wrong.
Magic Erasers absolutely will take off paint if you scrub enough, and if you use it in semigloss or gloss, it will take off the sheen. It is a mild abrasive, which is how it get things off. In a pinch, I've used one in place of super fine sandpaper.
I never found my Mr Clean ones effective at all. I dunno. They’ll probably make a reappearance sometime and then I’ll chuck them 😅 Then I’ll paint over the scuffs.
Buying “magic erasers” off brand and in bulk is one of my best life hacks I’ve learned. I bought a huge box maybe two years ago and I still have like 80% of them left. And I have matte paint on my walls so they’re super helpful for keeping them clean.
Melamine sponges are also AMAZING at cleaning the light rubber parts of shoes. My kids like Converse All Stars, and the toes and sides of the soles look brand new with a bit of work - it's amazing!
whilst I won't be buying anything here (on a "buy nothing" mission right now) I utterly adore your vlogs - I love your directness and find them so soothing to watch! Hello from Melbourne!
Yes. I made the mistake of using one on a brand new shiny white sink. Now it stains constantly. After that, and hearing how bad they are for the environment, I don't buy them anymore.
Re: magic eraser sponges - be careful on walls. Do a test spot first. I had a client's apt. painted at great expense and then saw a spot so I pulled out the trusty sponge to get rid of it and it took off the paint as well. I had to call the painter back to repaint the wall (at my expense).
Magic erasers are basically super fine sandpaper. They must have scrubbed pretty hard. Though if it was fresh paint, it wouldn't be that hard to scrub it off.
I also advise caution with these sponges on interior paint. Even when I use the sponge with great care, I see a difference on my paint, which is several years old. Usually the difference is preferable to the dark scuff mark, but I’ll end up touching up the paint later.
Scrub Daddy! I got one after your last amazon video, and I like them so much I'm giving them to my friends now. It puzzles them and they laugh, but later mention how much they love them. This one was my favorite recommendation.
Hands down the most comprehensive explanation of the difference between sponsored videos and affiliate links... "Jeff Bezos is an idiot...' 😆😆😆 Nick always finds a way to make you laugh
My pro-tip is Pure Citrus air freshener. You can get it a lot of places, including Home Depot and Amazon, but you don't really use it as an air freshener for this tip, though it does smell nice. It's the absolute best product I've found for getting stickers/sticker goop off of things. My husband used to do merchandising in Home Depots and they used it to get price tag stickers off of the bays all the time. Now, I use it to get those ridiculous Ross price tags that just disintegrate into goop when you try to remove them off of those steeply discounted name brand water bottles, or if my kid puts a sticker on the car window or something. Nothing works better. Though, I did find that it kind of melts Wet hairbrush plastic, so there's that. It's pretty much just citric acid oil.
A friend told me to use a Scrub Daddy and any soap on my foot callouses every time I shower and I haven't needed to do anything else to have soft feet. You're welcome! 🙂
Scrub Daddy makes a grill brush, that my guy says is amazing. I think he thought it was over the top when he was gifted it last Christmas, but he’s now converted to the Scrub Daddy family.
Love your videos! Interesting to hear about your butter molding. My mom was French and our butter was always out in just a butter dish. I leave mine out all the time too. Never had any issues. PS Scrub Daddy's for the stockings it is!
I will add that I have a French Beurre ceramic… had it for years… never put water in it BUT do always make a point of using salted butter. I was told that “that’s the secret”.
Folex!! Many many thanks for adding this one. It saved my white lampshades from lily pollen. It's £30 to us in the UK but it's saved for things that I know other cleaners can't do.
Anyone know where I can find it in Belgium? Or what I need to look for? Is it just a generic enzyme cleaner? I bought one but it doesn’t work very well
I've been using a butter bell for a few years. Mine's not as pretty as that one, but it works great. Every two or three days I pour the water out, wipe it out with a paper towel & refill it. My butter has never gone bad. If you still have a problem with butter going bad, add a tiny splash of white vinegar. You won't taste the vinegar and it helps to keep it fresh.
Well I'll have to check out the Scrub Daddy. I was the same way about the Magic Eraser. I never gave it a second thought. Then some contractors at my house were using one and when I tried it, I thought, "What kind of sorcery is this???" Now I'm a convert.
The "magic" of the Magic Erasers (melamine) is that they're basically an ultra-fine sand paper so you can't necessarily use them on everything. They will dull and/or ruin certain types of finishes so if you're not sure, test on an inconspicuous place.
I bought one after last year's video. It's a great concept, but mine needs recharging after lighting a few candles maybe four or five different times. Is that the way they work or is mine defective?
First, Amazon is basically the new online Sears and Roebuck catalog from 150 years ago. The thing I like best about the Scrub Mommy is that it comes in white--can't stand colored sponges. That is reason alone to buy it over the other one. Magic Erasers are basically 2500 grit sandpaper--if you aren't very gentle or use enough slip on painted surfaces, they will leave dull marks or take paint off.
difference between scrub mommy and daddy is mommy is double sided with a softer sponge, she looks more like a dish sponge that way. it's a lot nicer than dish sponge though and keeps shape just like the rougher side.
Another cleaning tool I got from Amazon that I love is the Uproot Cleaner Pro Pet Hair Remover. I have four cats, one is a long hair, and this gets their hair off of everything! My son, who has three dogs as well as three cats, says they use theirs every day. It really does work just like the videos and is very reasonably priced. My mother taught me about Folex about 15-20 years ago. It's great stuff! There have been a few things that didn't come out of my carpet, but it's worked on just about everything. I think part of the key is to get it early. I think the grease (as in WD-40) that didn't come out for me had been there for months, possibly longer. I'm going to give some of your recommendations a try. Thanks for this video!
I have the uproot cleaner, and I found one even better! The ChomChom pet hair roller is AH-MAZING. So easy to use and grabs my cat fur off just about any soft surface like magic!
Here's a hack I just discovered. I was desperate one night getting ready to go out. My legs weren't in the best shape when it comes to smoothness. I got out a brand new good quality micro fibre cloth and damped it ever so slightly (less). I folded it in two and began to use it on my legs I held it at each end and swept it up and down my legs. I couldn't believe the difference it made to the smoothness of my skin. I managed to do both legs in 5 minutes. I finished off wih the handcream residue that remained on my hands after I'd washed them. Talk about necessity being the mother of invention. Both legs looked as good as though I'd spent a couple of hours on them. Give it a try !
@@rmarsh1088 M Darling girl. You know we are subjected daily to the whims and moods of the Algorithm. Today being a case in point, and, one of those days when my little piece of info landed near your post and Oh Dear ! . At least it wasn't filled with my usual cursing and swearing in Gaelic. I do hope you are recovered, from what might have been a lasting trauma. I hope it has not ruined your usual Thanksgiving Disaster, I mean Dinner, it should not, We all had a wonderful Dinner, and played a game based on my original Post. How wonderful it was to see my guests including the men, sitting on the floor with colourful micro fibre cloths in both hands rubbing their legs up and down , both sides. I have every confidence these scenes will be repeated at Christmas, with the men having shaved their legs in advance. Won't cause pain that way.. said my Grandmother.
Butter keepers are so awesome. I've had one for decades. My aunt was a rancher and have them so I had to get one. She gave it to me for Christmas all those years ago. They today work. I used to just redo the water every other day. This was fresh and nice for much longer.
A hook is a hook, those are pegs. And it does seem rustic, like something found in a log cabin, but fuctional and cute. Never had a magic eraser that worked. Ever try scrubbies sold at farmers markets or craft fairs, homemade they are fantastic.
My teen son wanted me to try a Scrub Daddy for a long time so bought it and used it. I liked it but when we bought the Scrub Mommy, it is now my favorite sponge! I wanted something more delicate and the SM has the best of both worlds!
I had never heard the phrase "you sweet summer child" before but it made me laugh when you said it- so I googled it to make sure I was guessing correctly about what it might mean and now I plan on using that expression several times today in random conversation with people.
Yes YES and *YES* to the de-pilling Conair doohickey. I. Fcking. LOVE mine. Pro tip: if you or someone you know has raggedy troll feet that get the fitted sheet at the foot of the bed all pilly, use this!!! I actually happened to have it with me when we stayed someone else's house and used it on their sheets. I need to buy a second one so in case mine dies, I'll have a backup. 1000/10 highly recommend. Just make sure you empty it frequently...it fills up faster than you'd think lol
I’ve been using Folex for 20yrs at least. It’s my laundry stain remover go to. Any stain on your clothes it works perfectly too. Both my boys played baseball and the moms always asked me how do I get my boys baseball pants so white? Between the red clay and grass stains folex got everything out. I would spray down their whole pant. I kinda laughed because Nick said his 2 Pack lasted him forever! I would go through a 2 pack a month with my kids. I spray the bottom of my boys white socks too to get the bottoms clean. They will run around in their sock and go outside🤦🏼♀️. I spray it on everything! When I have something that got some kind of food or blood I will spray the spot, really saturate, rub it in real good and then leave it in the laundry room till I do that load and often when I go to do that load the spot has vanished before I put it into the laundry. It keeps working as it sits.
Hi Nick, I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for your insightful videos. Your recommendation of the Scrub Daddy sponges has been a game changer in my daily routine. I might be more attached to these sponges than is healthy, but their effectiveness is undeniable! Your product recommendations are always spot-on and incredibly useful. Thanks for the great content and for introducing me to my new favorite kitchen tool. Wishing you all the best and a joyful holiday season. Keep up the excellent work!
Jeff Bezos got rich by creating something that people with money to spend really, really, REALLY like! And his creation also saved many thousands of lives during the pandemic, by allowing people to stay home and have their necessities delivered to them. Hats off to him!
Nick you gave some great tips, and opened talking points for broader education to the masses. Top notch job as usual. Luv your wit and your style. Please keep it up. Don't abandon us now that you're getting a fancy house. We luv your posts😅
Started with the Scrub Daddy. Then I tried the Scrub Mommy and I honestly like it better. It has the same scrubby surface as the Scrub Daddy with a softer side opposite. Still dishwasher safe and doesn’t stink like other soft sponges.
I’m in the UK, I’ve used all Scrub Daddy sponges and scourers, the only flaw is that bits of the plastic it’s made from tear off when used regularly. The scourers are really good for nonstick pans, it cleans really well without scratching the surface. The magic eraser is good for cleaning dirty trainers but don’t rub the same spot too much!
To use my Nick vocabulary---I LOVE, LOVE the bathroom tile, the secondary living room chair, The guest bath tile, and the master bathroom!!! The nation area is to Die FOR!!!
Hi Nick. Just wanted to thank you for your previous video about home decore gifts. I applied you logic about treating yourself for my friends' christmas gifts, and it felt good. I feel confident in them, and it is not a feeling you usually get when you try to buy a small gift for someone.
Scrub Daddy, aside from the cute smile, which is actually functional. I actually bought my first one only because it was cute, not knowing what the benefits were! The cold/coarse function is surprisingly effective while not scratching.
I've also reluctantly become a Scrub Daddy convert this year. I think they're not as good at scrubbing the really deep, burned-on things, but they last FOREVER, and, unlike other sponges, they don't smell. I throw away other sponges once they get smelly and fall apart. I throw out my Scrub Daddy after 6 months because I've just whittled it down to nothing, but it'll still smell fine. Scrub Mommy has a gentler side on the back and that one will develop an odor, so I don't think it's worth buying.
The melamine sponges work like sand paper. They are abrasive and the bits of sponge comes off to be the grit while you use it. They are equivalent to 5k grit or something. Be careful on non gloss as they will polish whatever you use them on.
That cleaner sounds amazing! I thought turmeric stains were impossible to get rid of You've convinced me to get a scrub daddy too. I love magic erasers so much. They are good to get marks off fabric too. They don't discolour it like bleach. I often use them to clean the bathroom too. As well as marks on walls which is their main purpose.
1000% recommend scrub daddy products. I actually like the scrub mommy for dishes cause one side is a sponge and the other side is a scrubber, but it does all the same things as a scrub daddy. These are also made odor resistent and they dont smell likes regular sponges AT ALL. Also the eyes are for putting your fingers in so that you can insert into glasses and cups. Lastly for general cleaning on surfaces and such i prefer the sponge daddy packs. They are more like a sponge but do all the same stuff, just easier for general cleaning. Join the cult, you won't be disappointed!
So with you on the framing thing ,it's so easy to get attractive and inexpensive frames / mounting etc that will make a print look 10x better .I use Amazon a lot ,for everything from my cat's dry food (grain free ,obscure-ish brand ) to bed pillows and duvets .If it's bulky or a pain to find ,Amazon is my usual answer .
I love those magic erasers, even though they do take off some paint, but I use them to get rid of blood stains from squashing mosquitoes and other bugs on my walls 😅
FOLEX is astounding. My poor mom at the end of her life got blood on the light carpet by her bed in her retirement home. No one could get it out and every day it reminded her of how ill she was 🫂 I ordered FOLEX, flew out to be with her at the end, and it took the blood right out. A very small thing, but it was one less thing weighing on her when she died. (Peacefully in hospice care at 91 ❤). Long story for an AMAZING product.
God bless you for giving your Mom that sense of comfort and peace in her last days on Earth. Also, you sold me on the product. I needed a good stain remover. ❤😉
It really does work. It's fantastic.
I'm so sorry 😢
Hugs for even caring….
Parents shouldn’t be stuck in a retirement home. No pat on the back from me on getting the blood out. How kind of you to be with her “at the end”
I have a Conair pill remover that is at least 30 years old! It works just as good as the day I never gave it back to my friend
😂😂😂
Hahaha!
I bought one & my daughter one too.

We always leave our butter out in a covered butter dish and it’s never gone bad.
Yep, me too, and I live in Melbourne, where it gets very warm in summer. I think that, as long as you use up your butter fast enough, you're fine.
Same, but I only even put a 1/4 lb out at a time. The rest stays in the fridge.
The new butter, unless you can find it home made, has so many additives that it would take months for it to go bad.
@kathywiseman7944 My butter is made of milk and salt, and it doesn't go bad. So unless the manufacturer is breaking Australian consumer law by adding unlisted ingredients, you're wrong.

Scrub-mommy have a more spongy part - so it is better for making foam and applying products to surfaces 😊 perfect for oven cleaning and that stuff

They definitely alter the sheen. I've learned to avoid Magic Erasers on walls.
This is why I cough it up for SW Emerald line of paint. It handles kids and dogs and still looks new.
Yes. And then you see the loss of gloss when the sun shines on the spot! Not good.
They're also apparently super bad for the ocean. Releasing micro plastics into the water as they break down.

Me blindly buying anything Nick recommends after buying the round marble tray he recommended last year…it was just so good.
You can use the melamine sponges to stain wood. They suck up and hold the stain without dripping and apply it evenly
Wow. Great idea Thank you😊!

Nick, melamine sponges are micro sanders. You have to be careful on some surfaces (glossy) because it will take down the finish.
Yes. I made the mistake of using one on a brand new shiny white sink. Now it stains constantly. After that, and hearing how bad they are for the environment, I don't buy them anymore.

My butter has never gone bad. If you still have a problem with butter going bad, add a tiny splash of white vinegar. You won't taste the vinegar and it helps to keep it fresh.
Hey congrats on 500k !! 🎉
I feel like I wished this video into existence. Thanks for doing it!
Well I'll have to check out the Scrub Daddy. I was the same way about the Magic Eraser. I never gave it a second thought. Then some contractors at my house were using one and when I tried it, I thought, "What kind of sorcery is this???" Now I'm a convert.
The "magic" of the Magic Erasers (melamine) is that they're basically an ultra-fine sand paper so you can't necessarily use them on everything. They will dull and/or ruin certain types of finishes so if you're not sure, test on an inconspicuous place.
I purchased the lighter after your gift video. My son will love it.
I've had one for a couple of years. You'll want one for yourself too.
They're great! 👌
I bought one after last year's video. It's a great concept, but mine needs recharging after lighting a few candles maybe four or five different times. Is that the way they work or is mine defective?
First, Amazon is basically the new online Sears and Roebuck catalog from 150 years ago. The thing I like best about the Scrub Mommy is that it comes in white--can't stand colored sponges. That is reason alone to buy it over the other one. Magic Erasers are basically 2500 grit sandpaper--if you aren't very gentle or use enough slip on painted surfaces, they will leave dull marks or take paint off.
difference between scrub mommy and daddy is mommy is double sided with a softer sponge, she looks more like a dish sponge that way. it's a lot nicer than dish sponge though and keeps shape just like the rougher side.
Another cleaning tool I got from Amazon that I love is the Uproot Cleaner Pro Pet Hair Remover. I have four cats, one is a long hair, and this gets their hair off of everything! My son, who has three dogs as well as three cats, says they use theirs every day. It really does work just like the videos and is very reasonably priced.
My mother taught me about Folex about 15-20 years ago. It's great stuff! There have been a few things that didn't come out of my carpet, but it's worked on just about everything. I think part of the key is to get it early. I think the grease (as in WD-40) that didn't come out for me had been there for months, possibly longer.
I'm going to give some of your recommendations a try. Thanks for this video!
I have the uproot cleaner, and I found one even better! The ChomChom pet hair roller is AH-MAZING. So easy to use and grabs my cat fur off just about any soft surface like magic!
Oh I bet that grill cleaner would work for air fryers, too! I always struggle to clear that grill-like rack!
Videos like this always mean I'm buying SOMETHING for myself 😂 💜
Here's a hack I just discovered. I was desperate one night getting ready to go out. My legs weren't in the best shape when it comes to smoothness. I got out a brand new good quality micro fibre cloth and damped it ever so slightly (less). I folded it in two and began to use it on my legs I held it at each end and swept it up and down my legs. I couldn't believe the difference it made to the smoothness of my skin. I managed to do both legs in 5 minutes. I finished off wih the handcream residue that remained on my hands after I'd washed them. Talk about necessity being the mother of invention. Both legs looked as good as though I'd spent a couple of hours on them. Give it a try !
I've just made up a couple of ittle packs in a toiletries bag. Good to have it handy, especially if you' end up in hospital for any length of time.
@@corryjookit7818 no idea how this is relevant to the video, or my comment, but.....thanks?
@@rmarsh1088 M Darling girl. You know we are subjected daily to the whims and moods of the Algorithm. Today being a case in point, and, one of those days when my little piece of info landed near your post and Oh Dear ! . At least it wasn't filled with my usual cursing and swearing in Gaelic. I do hope you are recovered, from what might have been a lasting trauma. I hope it has not ruined your usual Thanksgiving Disaster, I mean Dinner, it should not, We all had a wonderful Dinner, and played a game based on my original Post. How wonderful it was to see my guests including the men, sitting on the floor with colourful micro fibre cloths in both hands rubbing their legs up and down , both sides. I have every confidence these scenes will be repeated at Christmas, with the men having shaved their legs in advance. Won't cause pain that way.. said my Grandmother.
I loved your home tour. I find it interesting, hip but warm. Your outdoor space is glorious.
Butter keepers are so awesome. I've had one for decades. My aunt was a rancher and have them so I had to get one. She gave it to me for Christmas all those years ago. They today work. I used to just redo the water every other day. This was fresh and nice for much longer.
Nick for the butter keeper, you need to add salt to the water and that will keep your butter well preserved in it for ever :)
I’m with you about Amazon. Love/hate. I really trust your judgement. You don’t steer us wrong! ❤️
A hook is a hook, those are pegs. And it does seem rustic, like something found in a log cabin, but fuctional and cute. Never had a magic eraser that worked. Ever try scrubbies sold at farmers markets or craft fairs, homemade they are fantastic.
My teen son wanted me to try a Scrub Daddy for a long time so bought it and used it. I liked it but when we bought the Scrub Mommy, it is now my favorite sponge! I wanted something more delicate and the SM has the best of both worlds!
You are a treasure! Not only great products and good information, but on a rainy, icky, day, you light up the room in a quiet, lux way!
Love my Scrub Daddy. Be careful with the dry erasers, they can take finishes off or take the gloss off of gloss paint.
I love the Scrub Daddy! It was on Shark Tank. There’s no other product like it.
I had never heard the phrase "you sweet summer child" before but it made me laugh when you said it- so I googled it to make sure I was guessing correctly about what it might mean and now I plan on using that expression several times today in random conversation with people.
I must also add Chilewich is a GREAT brand for coasters, table runners, kitchen mats, and the like.
Loved this review! You should do more! I bought half the items!
Magic sponge is great for fiberglass shower. It cleans all the grey dirt.
Yes YES and *YES* to the de-pilling Conair doohickey. I. Fcking. LOVE mine. Pro tip: if you or someone you know has raggedy troll feet that get the fitted sheet at the foot of the bed all pilly, use this!!! I actually happened to have it with me when we stayed someone else's house and used it on their sheets. I need to buy a second one so in case mine dies, I'll have a backup. 1000/10 highly recommend.
Just make sure you empty it frequently...it fills up faster than you'd think lol
Ha ha, I thought for a moment that you were recommending using a pill remover on feet, to get rid of hard skin! 😂
@@GeeEee75so did I!
Once again you hit it all the points out of the park. Thank you.
I’ve been using Folex for 20yrs at least. It’s my laundry stain remover go to. Any stain on your clothes it works perfectly too. Both my boys played baseball and the moms always asked me how do I get my boys baseball pants so white? Between the red clay and grass stains folex got everything out. I would spray down their whole pant. I kinda laughed because Nick said his 2 Pack lasted him forever! I would go through a 2 pack a month with my kids. I spray the bottom of my boys white socks too to get the bottoms clean. They will run around in their sock and go outside🤦🏼♀️. I spray it on everything! When I have something that got some kind of food or blood I will spray the spot, really saturate, rub it in real good and then leave it in the laundry room till I do that load and often when I go to do that load the spot has vanished before I put it into the laundry. It keeps working as it sits.
I seriously love how tangential your descriptions can be❤
Hi Nick, I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for your insightful videos. Your recommendation of the Scrub Daddy sponges has been a game changer in my daily routine. I might be more attached to these sponges than is healthy, but their effectiveness is undeniable!
Your product recommendations are always spot-on and incredibly useful. Thanks for the great content and for introducing me to my new favorite kitchen tool. Wishing you all the best and a joyful holiday season. Keep up the excellent work!
Jeff Bezos got rich by creating something that people with money to spend really, really, REALLY like! And his creation also saved many thousands of lives during the pandemic, by allowing people to stay home and have their necessities delivered to them. Hats off to him!
🙄🙄🙄🙄
Nick you gave some great tips, and opened talking points for broader education to the masses. Top notch job as usual. Luv your wit and your style. Please keep it up. Don't abandon us now that you're getting a fancy house. We luv your posts😅
Yes, you also need a scrub mommy. It has the harsh side and a smooth/foam side.
Love the Scrub Mommy- over the Scrub Daddy. I like these sponges for nonstick pans and anything nonstick. They won’t scratch the pans or leave marks.
You most definitely need the Scrub Mommy. Scrubber on one side, sponge on another. Love them both!
Folex is incredible...and you are so right. I no longer have a Malbec stain on my white carpeting... ...
Started with the Scrub Daddy. Then I tried the Scrub Mommy and I honestly like it better. It has the same scrubby surface as the Scrub Daddy with a softer side opposite. Still dishwasher safe and doesn’t stink like other soft sponges.
Magic erasers are essentially a super fine grit sandpaper, which is why they disintegrate as you use them
That table top shown advertising the Conair fuzz cleaner is beautiful
I’m in the UK, I’ve used all Scrub Daddy sponges and scourers, the only flaw is that bits of the plastic it’s made from tear off when used regularly. The scourers are really good for nonstick pans, it cleans really well without scratching the surface. The magic eraser is good for cleaning dirty trainers but don’t rub the same spot too much!
Nick I think here in the US we do actually need a patriotic candle lighter! We need patriotic everything! We need patriotism.😂❤❤❤
You NEED a scrub mommy!! Has a soft side to it 🥹 perfect for more delicate surfaces :)
Folex at Home Depot too - anyone with cats NEEDS this product. Great for stains as well as general carpet cleaning.
Folex is AWESOME! I've removed full-glass red wine spills from light colored carpet with that stuff!
Nick, Folex is 10 bucks at Canadian Tire. Cheaper than Amazon!! $13 at Home Depot
To use my Nick vocabulary---I LOVE, LOVE the bathroom tile, the secondary living room chair, The guest bath tile, and the master bathroom!!! The nation area is to Die FOR!!!
OOOOPS - RUclips changed the vlog--- this comment was for the tour of his condo.
The LULU candle is everything. I have never had a candle that made me smell it every time I walk past it. Thank you for sharing!! :]
Hi Nick. Just wanted to thank you for your previous video about home decore gifts. I applied you logic about treating yourself for my friends' christmas gifts, and it felt good. I feel confident in them, and it is not a feeling you usually get when you try to buy a small gift for someone.
We love the TRANSPARENCY 💜 at the start
Scrub Daddy, aside from the cute smile, which is actually functional. I actually bought my first one only because it was cute, not knowing what the benefits were! The cold/coarse function is surprisingly effective while not scratching.
I heard that magic erasers contain very fine fiberglass that cause very fine scratches. You end up "sanding" off the stain.
I love my scrub daddies!
The word you're looking for, Nick is de-bobbler (for the lint fuzzy pill remover thingy) - at least that's what we call them here in the UK! 😆
"Jeff Bezos is an idiot" was my favourite part. Kind of sad that you rolled that back.
Lint shaver! They're magic.
I may be wrong but I heard Jeff Bezos boss is Klaus Scwabb;
@@Motherhubbard170Yes, and the K man has bosses too.
Magic erasers are just really really fine sand paper!!!
Folex got red lipstick out of my wool carpet after a teen slumber party mishap. It’s got my allegiance!
I've also reluctantly become a Scrub Daddy convert this year. I think they're not as good at scrubbing the really deep, burned-on things, but they last FOREVER, and, unlike other sponges, they don't smell. I throw away other sponges once they get smelly and fall apart. I throw out my Scrub Daddy after 6 months because I've just whittled it down to nothing, but it'll still smell fine. Scrub Mommy has a gentler side on the back and that one will develop an odor, so I don't think it's worth buying.
The melamine sponges work like sand paper. They are abrasive and the bits of sponge comes off to be the grit while you use it. They are equivalent to 5k grit or something.
Be careful on non gloss as they will polish whatever you use them on.
Two thumbs up for Folex (you can use your fingers with it) and the Conair pill remover (excellent)! I have used both forever!
That cleaner sounds amazing! I thought turmeric stains were impossible to get rid of
You've convinced me to get a scrub daddy too.
I love magic erasers so much. They are good to get marks off fabric too. They don't discolour it like bleach. I often use them to clean the bathroom too. As well as marks on walls which is their main purpose.
1000% recommend scrub daddy products. I actually like the scrub mommy for dishes cause one side is a sponge and the other side is a scrubber, but it does all the same things as a scrub daddy.
These are also made odor resistent and they dont smell likes regular sponges AT ALL.
Also the eyes are for putting your fingers in so that you can insert into glasses and cups.
Lastly for general cleaning on surfaces and such i prefer the sponge daddy packs. They are more like a sponge but do all the same stuff, just easier for general cleaning.
Join the cult, you won't be disappointed!
So with you on the framing thing ,it's so easy to get attractive and inexpensive frames / mounting etc that will make a print look 10x better .I use Amazon a lot ,for everything from my cat's dry food (grain free ,obscure-ish brand ) to bed pillows and duvets .If it's bulky or a pain to find ,Amazon is my usual answer .
I love those magic erasers, even though they do take off some paint, but I use them to get rid of blood stains from squashing mosquitoes and other bugs on my walls 😅
The lighter is 👍🏻⭐️👍🏻 Nice gift with the candle!
I have done monocromatic bedrooms my whole life. My parents hated it. But it was the bedroom I always found them napping in all the time😂
Since I heard from Temu, I started to love Amazon again.
