- When something goes wrong, the only option is to try to fix it. My custom bed headboard (that would have cost me thousands to buy) has an issue... and I'm trying to fix it! This week I also celebrate New Years with my family, do some shopping with my mom, get a new mattress, and sew something that is much needed.

Hi it's me. Years ago I worked at a family owned furniture store with my husband. We both attending parking lot sales. I took over the sale from the salesman. Added tax, delivery charge etc. Wrapped it up. I always asked customers buying couches or mattresses if they would like their furniture scotch guarded. About $100. I got the commission. Now my mom bought a couch and my husband double dosed it. She loved it. The couch never stained or dirtied. She vacuumed it but that all. As a teen we scotch guarded each other's thighs and butt area on our Levi's for skiing. No skiing attire then. We stayed dry enough to sky all day. I recommend it. Or maybe throw a beach towel over that area. Hang it in closet. Wash when it's dirty. Really enjoying your videos Dalia. Much ♥️ From Cali.
Hi Michele! I found out something new about you every week haha! Love it! Also I think I should Scotchguard my couch now. Also your idea for skiing....very cool 😎
@@DIYDalia Well you tackled that problem and it looks fabulous compared to a beach towel. Vacuum your couch good and spray it. Couches and mattresses are big expenses. This will make the fabric last longer. Dalia you are looking prettier every week! 😘
Agreed scotch guard or a waterproofing spray for shoes
Hi, instead of fabric for your head board slip covers, you could also use the canvas painters drop cloths from either Lowes or Home Depot. Have seen them made into no sew curtains using cafe curtain clips.
I'm so glad you live next to your mum and make the most of your time with her. My Beautiful Mum passed last year a few days before Mother's day here in Australia, it's been extremely rough. Thank you for sharing your family with us, especially your hubby💙
Awh I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. My condolences 🥺 Sending lots of love your way 💞
@@DIYDalia Thank you so much🙏
I said I will read the comments first just to be sure I'm not repeating it. Agree with scotch guarding your upholstered pieces. It will help a whole lot. Vacuum it really good beforehand. And by the way, you have such a beautiful family. 😎
For the headboard cloth cover, you could use pops of color to make it look more intentional and change it up for the different seasons. Could be really fun 😁
I love that your new year's celebration was simple and surrounded by fam. Im not into clubbing and being out late in shoes that hurt with ppl falling all over each other and bringing my safety level down. Lol i spent new years in my bed and happily checked on my sleeping kids at midnight.
Your new years sounds awesome too! 😊
Girrrrrl…we’re soul sisters 😂 I just got a new Firm mattress recently @ LEONs because my previous plushy one was sinking and making my whole body ache ! Plus, I buy the same ground chicken & cherry sours like you did 😂😂 500k soon come my Friend 🙌🏾 Happy 2023 🎉❤
Creating a removable cover is a good idea, but I'd also use a fabric protector solution on it and your headboard to make it stain resistant and easier to clean. You just spray it on (or you can have it done professionally but probably not worth the cost in this use case). There are also eco friendly brands of protectors/stain block treatments for fabric that also spray on. It's probably something worth considering especially for a light color that is in constant contact with body oils. 🙂
I'll def look into it! If you have any brands in mind I'd love to hear them!
Pls include the brands
I love your honesty and ability to try on camera!!👏👏👏👏👏
I love that idea of adding that to protect your headboard. And it could be cool to change up that fabric if you want to change the color or theme of the room too
Yes, I scotch guard. My daughter has an ivory canvas backpack, and it makes it easier to clean. The one I get is kiwi camp dry, heavy-duty water repellent. I bought from Walmart in the US.
Antimacassars! Remember them on sofas (couches!) at grandparents house as a child. 20th century stuff... 😂
knowledge actually changes our senses! Wow! Thank you Dalia
Your family is beautiful ❤️ I love how close you and your family are, it makes my heart smile 😊
Awh thanks so much girl! 😊
Vectra Protector, very good product. I have used for many years. Not too expensive. I purchase at fabric store
I've used fabric vacuums bf and sometimes add a few drops of tea tree oil to sanitize..it makes a difference!
Happy new year beautiful!!!❤️
Happy new year!!
I’m the same way about learning new tools!! I hate it 😂
Happy New Year, Dalia! And congratulations on hitting 500k!! 🎉❤
thank you so much Mary!! And happy new year to you too!
I love how you guys went to wendys. Some channels i subscribe to try to make it seem like they dont eat fast food, but will happily show them and their kids eating chick fil a like thats not fast food. Love your channel.
LOL Wendy's and McDonald's are regular occurrences for me 😂
Your videos are so relaxing! I look forward to every upload. Also, I noticed a lot of people (including myself) aren’t doing New Year’s resolutions as well. Focusing on what’s right in front of me and practicing mindfulness bc tomorrow isn’t guaranteed.
Yes girl. 100% agree!
Girl there is a solution!! I just did it and it worked. Someone on RUclips shows it. It’s alcohol, water and a few drops of dawn dish soap.
So next time you won’t have to reupholster.
I agree with what others said, I wouldn't use scotch guard on a headboard. The issue is that's you used an untreated fabric. Making removable covers that can be washed is your best bet I think :)
Yeah based on all the comments, probably best to stay away from it for the headboard. Maybe I'll consider it for the couch 🤔
@@DIYDalia couch is great place to scotch guard! My mom always had carpets and high traffic chairs and couches done growing up and she swears by it to this day!
You should get rustoleum’s never wet fabric spray! It does have a very strong smell so needs to be done outside and Daley outside for 1-2 days. It will waterproof the fabric so your oils and stuff should not get into it! I use it on my boots every winter and it really works!
Thanks for the suggestion. I'm extremely sensitive to smell but maybe I could use it for something else other than my headboard!
My husband bought me a sewing machine during COVID. I have no experience but always wanted one. I'll definitely do better this year. Maybe start with PJ's 😅
Yes!! Making Pj's is super fun 👏🏽
Hi love you did a good job ❤
The cover was a great idea and now you can just throw that part in the wash. As for scotchguard, I think I would pass using it on the headboard, it off gases and it doesn't stop your fabric from getting dirty it just makes it easier to clean. I prefer your solution
There are other brands of fabric protector that have diff degrees of protection. I wouldn't rule out the concept of fabric protectors entirely based on one specific brand name (Scotchguard is the name of product made by 3M). 🙂 It's probably still worth exploring, especially as new and healthier products are created every day 🙂
Thanks Shannon! Parth and I are both quite happy with the solution so far 😊
I remember coming to America and sewing being a class I could take. It was the class that helped me learn that yellow is a good color on my skin.
Def one of my fav classes too 💖
most important is the inner spring support or cushioned coils we only use Sterns and Foster love them and the biggest help has been the adjustable base its changed mine and my husbands life !!! We used to have a Casper bed and it caused so much pain so girl i understand !!
thanks for sharing that! I was tempted by the sterns and fosters mattresses too but then was like whoa expensive 🤣!! I’m going to consider it for next time!
I used upholstery fabric on my headboard and the same thing happened. I googled how to clean it and apparently it’s a common issue with all headboards. I think scotch guard could help. It does prevent moisture from penetrating the surface but it’s probably not going to totally stop it from happening because any fabric is going to absorb some sort of moisture just like your sheets do. The curse of a light colored fabric I guess.
People sell their upholstered headboards and im like eww no thanks lol
I wonder if it was the other material that looked like it? You could pull the fabric off and make it into a fitted cover like a cushion on the top and a fitted sheet on the back a square in front with 10” of fabric sewn to the back and line the back edges with elastic so it can go into the washing machine.
I too have to go 100% fragrance free. It is a pain! Good luck!
And yes, scotch guard should help a lot!
Also consider using a half a cup of vinegar while washing clothes. It makes thing softer, makes things more sanitary, and helps prevent build up in the machine.
I'm so intrigued by the dust mite detergent! I didn't see a link and would like to know if you can share it with us. Thanks Dalia!
Hi! I added the link to the description. Let me know if you have any issues finding it 😊
@@DIYDalia Thank you so much, it's already in my cart. You are the BESTEST! Please continue to be you. You are changing lives 1 video at a time. You are loved and appreciated. God bless!!!
Love that you are showing your fam now Dalia
Haha thanks Vanessa 💞 I made the painting 😊 there's a video on it too!
lol! GUILTY!! I bought a trash can for the girls room based on the color. It was too cute
After scotch guard it will only make the stains come out , you still will have to wash them.
Scotchgard is your best friend. It will protect the fabric from staining. 😊
I recommend scotch guard or a waterproofing spray for shoes.
Scotchguard will help keep the stains away, making it easier to wipe clean. It wot prevent any discoloration from having your side tables up against your bed though.
Ugh I don't get why the side tables caused that 🥺
Check on your scotch guard and make sure it was not discontinued, one of them causes hormone imbalance, cancer ect and has been discontinued. I was going to suggest hemming a box case with only a 4” strip in back . Sew the soft end of Velcro to your headboard cover and staple the rough end of your Velcro to the back of the head board all the way around . Then you can wash and dry, whenever you like. Especially if you use a cleat system to hang your headboard. Also your stain is most likely an oil stain, dawn dish soap and an overnight hot soak is probably best.
I have such a hard time reading/follow instructions by myself. I also have adhd. I’m not quite sure why instructions are so hard, I think the way the info is presenting (boring, tiny, lots of words). I also mix my words up when reading so sometimes what I read is not exactly what’s on the page and that’s super frustrating.
Now I'm most paranoidly checking my grey headboard to see how our hair grease has stained it HAHAH
You should put a scotch guard on it that will help
Maybe the fabric feels different cuz u washed it with different soap?
I love how you fixed the headboard. I really hope that your new mattress doesn't have Fiberglass since Fiberglass can cause a lot of health problems.
Thanks! No fiberglass in this one! At least I hope not 🤞🏽
@@DIYDalia ok you might want to Google the brand and style just to make sure a few months ago I was about to buy one on Amazon when I looked at the reviews and someone commented about Fiberglass and all the health issues like if you have asthma and more so before I buy a mattress or Boxspring I Google it and ask if its got Fiberglass pillows too
I was xtold if you pull out a gray hair, more will grow... I don't know how true but I just ignore mine
Scotch gaurd will help but not avoid , unfortunately the oils from our hair and body over time just do this . I clean our fabric headboards every 6 months with the same cleaner you have .....
You were not using your Bissell correctly at all. 😅 You should watch some videos on using it. 😉
but I did watch their instructional video lol :/
@@DIYDalia Oh no!!! 😅😂 I'm sorry! I have their pet bot and you squeeze the trigger while pressing the brush/suction tool into the surface area you're cleaning. Then stop squeezing the trigger and pass over a few times to extract as much of the liquid/solution that you can. It should only take a few hours to dry. 😉 Hope that helps. P.S. I just found your channel and really enjoy your videos. You are so charming and a joy to watch. 😊🤗
Scotchguard is so bad for you!

The discoloration in your headboard is from the oils in your skin because of your darker skin tone. My husband is Sri Lankan, and this happens to us all the time, so I have to replace the bedding often or buy darker sheets and towels so you won't see it.
Since we spend a third of our life in bed, I believe in buying the best mattress and the best linens you can afford. I've been very happy with our TempurPedic mattress with cooling but I also know mattress life expectancy is now around 5-10 years. Scotch guard works and with light linen I definitely think it's worth the effort. I loved the shopping trip - my nearest Walmart is 130 miles from me!! ☀️☺️😊❤️🥰🌴🦩❤️
Thanks Katrina. 130 miles?! Where do you usually shop?
@@DIYDalia I'm in Key West Florida and the closest WalMart is on the mainland just south of Miami. The drive takes a good 4 hours each way. The only chain stores we have besides grocery are Home Depot, TJ Maxx and Ross. I usually shop online or when I go every few months to Miami to stock up. It's the price for living in a tropical island paradise. ❤️🥰☀️☺️🦩🌴
Hey! I think I would gladly pay that price too 🙌🏽
@@DIYDalia Yes it has its good points. Canada is such a beautiful country I would love to live there but I could never get use to cold weather again.
