Not sure if you cover this in any video, but I keep a small bottle of Dawn (blue) dish detergent in my bathroom & laundry room for a pre-treatment for many stains, especially if oil based (like salad dressing & many foods). Works like a charm.
FYI Bleach does not remove mold. I repeat bleach does not remove mould on almost every surface. It does not, what it’s actually doing is bleaching out the colour so that you don’t see it. Mold spores, spores travel all over the place. They’re in the air around us constantly when they have a dark wet moist place with proper air circulation, the spores love to grow. In order to remove mould properly you have to use the right products one of them is CONCROBIUM, that is the one recommended after much research. When you apply bleach to get mould out of your trouble spots, it actually makes the spores from the mould go down deeper because it’s live and it’s retreating from the chemical. So it actually makes the mold dig deeper, although you can’t see it because you’ve now bleached the colour out. It will actually make them all come back harder and faster by bleaching your area, that’s a factor not many people know about and through much research I have learned that any product that has bleach in it like tilex and things it’s the same thing. Any bleach based product only temporarily makes it look like it is taken care of but it’s not really.
You are 100% correct!! I just cleaned a house yesterday and it had mold everywhere, thankfully no carpets!!! I did use tile ex on the mold in the bathroom and on the windows, but then I scrubbed the Dickens out of it with a scrub daddy and a toothbrush. That scrub daddy and scrub mommy are the best things since sliced bread!!
I owned and operated a carpet steam cleaning company for years. WD-40 was what I used to remove chewing gum from carpet. Spray on gum, use bottom scoop of can to scrape up til removed, follow with dawn dish detergent or good degreaser to remove WD-40…. And… all done. I also use on squeaky door hinges.
Citric acid (same as what you use in canning) is the fastest, easiest, and probably cheapest way to remove water mineral deposits. Wet the surface, sprinkle on a bit of citric acid powder (and you can almost immediately wipe riht back off and the deposits are gone. If they've built up for a time, you might a wait a minute or 2. You don't have to make a thick paste or cover entirely, or rub it in or scrub (it might scratch if you tried scrubbing) It's in the water as it dissolves. I don't know if it does anything for rust stains, just the lime and calcium deposits.
I have tried lots of products to remove the hard water iron stains from my bathroom granite countertop. Even had someone offer to clean it for $250! This works. Thank you, I can’t wait to see what it looks like when I get all the stains scraped off.
WD-40 is ok for many warmer-weather lower-48 states in cold temp. Unless you want to see why! Keep WD from the car!. She does not seem to know this or read the label.
Hand sanitizer works great on sharpie ink. I use it on my canning kids as well on gallon plastic water jugs to remove the date stamps since I reuse them. I’ve also used to remove sticky glue on glass.
Dry erase marker will take sharpie off of almost anything, tried and true. Just scribble over the sharpie with any EXPO Marker, and immediately wipe off with a dry rag (wet works too). A while back, I had a kiddo draw ALL OVER my WHITE FENDER GUITAR with SHARPIE and I was PEEVED, til I found this hack. It SAVED the GUITAR!!!!
Those hinges from the toilet seat that you left on the toilet can be removed to soak as well. Usually the lugs underneath that hold the screws in place are plastic and sometimes resemble giant thumb screws. All one needs to do is reach underneath and unscrew them until they come off, then the hinges pull right off. On occasion they can be stuck in place but all they need is a good tug.
I love all these ideas, so much that I went to Dollar Tree and bought the generic WD-40. There's one problem though, you never said how bad it smells! I'd love to use it for many of these things but the stinky odor is way too overwhelming!
Had a chandelier I could never get clean, until I received a wonder cloth inside packaging for a laptop. Have been ordering them since. They are like magic erasers only better. No streaks, no pieces coming off as you clean, just rinse, wring and keep going. They are also great for inside car windows. The best ones are called Ultimate cloth. Can be pricy when not on sale, but last forever. In fact, I have only replaced due to loss, rather than wear out.
I use a green scrubby pad, and lemon oil to re-finish stainless steel sinks and appliances. Rubbing in the direction of the grain. I would think that WD-40 would do the same for touch-ups on your fridge, etc. So many people want to clean the fingerprints with a spray cleaner. Also using WD-40 to clean the plastic parts of a vacuum cleaner (like the roller housing); works great. I never thought about using it for a broom, that's genius. Thank you for your channel. I thought I was the only one that was a crazy cleaner (of everything). :). Oh by the way, Have you read Laundry Love?
I use liquid coconut oil on sticky label residue, it worked great! Non toxic and no strong odor. Apply to area let soak for a bit then I use these cool scraper sticks to peel off the residue. Saves your manicure and your skin!
I’m in Oklahoma and we have had the $5 aisle for about two months now and everything is so cute!! My favorite is the little foot stools !! All beautiful pastel colors and just so adorable ❤❤❤
I was told by a company that sold silk flowers and plants to spraying WD40 on the product would keep them from fading. Bought the liquid form and used it on our arrangements.
I read that while bleach cannot remove mold from porous surfaces like drywall and hardwood floors, bleach does sanitize surfaces and kill mold spores on contact, meaning it will kill mold on non-porous surfaces.
Do you mean put WD40 on yourself to help the pain? I've never heard of that before, but if it'll help my sore ankle from a injury I'll try it, if that's what you're referring to. Please let me know and I'd be grateful 4-ever. 🙏 Thank you so very much 😀
@@donnaallen2207 Yes, I'm totally serious. I thought they were poking fun at me like they often did. So I understand some are doubtful 😂. It doesn't work for everyone, but after my motorcycle crash, it really Seriously helped. They guys that told me we're good buddies and had all crashed too. Not a whole bunch, but a few. Apparently, it's an old biker thing but it works for me too. 😂😂Yes I am an old biker 😂😂
Always remember to turn your broom upside down to save the broom bristles so the weight of the broom is not on the bristles. Just like when you buy a new broom from a store.
Bleach is commonly marketed as a solution for eliminating mold, but it only works against mold on nonporous surfaces, like tiles and sinks. It doesn’t work on porous surfaces, such as wood or drywall.
Hey you're pretty handy! And a great cleaner! Great video! Much respect!! Next get some natural cleaning solutions like vinegar, baking soda, peroxide, etc and get rid of those toxic chemicals! 😆😳
I have scoliosis in my back and severe arthritis. I'm allergic to a lot of narcotics and can't take too much for pain so my instant pain reliever , which is the WD-40 so I spray on my knees and back and it instantly stops the pain
I put it on my grandma's legs too bc u said it help with pain, well I done just that and she lost her leg bc of it!. I went to DT and bought 10 cans of the cheap WD stuff and sprayed her legs down every night, by the 3rd can I noticed some swelling so I sprayed a whole can on each leg for 3 days and it didn't help like u said! Her legs swelled up like balloons, black, purple and blue! Green, and yellow puss oozed out by the time I emptied the 9th bottle so I figured it wasn't strong enough so I took part of our bill money and bought 5 cans of the real WD-40 hoping that would help, well... She lost her leg! All the way up to her hip! Now granny leg is gone and we have no electricity or water bc I used the money on WD fucking 40! All bc u said it worked! Your a monster!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Alright I lied, All that was a lie ok I didn't do any of that thank God but someone could, I mean really, some ppl actually look on here and trust what people say no matter how sarcastic or ridiculously absurd the comments might be. Some people just might be too trusting and just desperate enough to try anything believe it or not it's true.
Thanks for all your tips always so helpful. Because I’m about to start spring cleaning and tomorrow the closet is first. Well I did my daughter’s closet already.
My son is a heavy equipment mechanic supervisor. He now uses Knockrloose is I believe how it is spelled. It penetrates the crevices quick. He said better than PB Blaster. I had a water hose stuck on the faucet I could not get off with pliers. I sprayed the Knockrloose on it..waited a couple minutes and this 65 yr old meme got it right off! Napa auto parts sells it. It is a little expensive ($18 I believe) but we’ll worth it and you only use a little. I just bought my daughter a can.
I grew up with venetian blinds on every window. The blinds were metal in those days & could easily cut you if you weren't careful while trying to clean them, as well as easily bent. Our canister vacuum had a long hose & a round brush attachment we used to get the top layer of dust off. Then we could take a damp cloth to them. At least once a year, Dad would take the whole unit down, & put them into a soapy bathtub, but since the slats were held together with cloth bands (today's blinds have cords), in time the cloth got stained from the tub water, sun light, dust, etc., & deteriorated, to the point of needing to be replaced - not an easy task. I hated blinds as a kid, & always vowed to never have blinds when I had my own house, but of course my house did when I bought it, & blinds truly let you control light & peering eyes best. Though I never put mine in the tub to clean, the vacuum hose & individual slat wipe was still done. I so wish I had thought of the wet wipe on a salad tongs hack - so much easier! Thanks!!😅
Wd-40 can leave a oily film behind after use. Brake cleaner is alcohol based and evaporates fast. And thus why I think it's better for removing super glue, permanent marker etc.
We always washed windows with white vinegar & newspaper, but the latter is hard to find these days! If people really want to use "window" cleaner, instead of the costly index, just buy windshield washer fluid. It works the same but so much cheaper!!
I use wd-40 on everything in my kitchen.. countertops,cabinets, black stainless appliances, faucets, etc. I also use it on my wood furniture., conditions and protects.
Thank you for another great video! Being a busy mom and also working I am always rushing. What do you recommend to use to get rid of cooking smells on your clothes after cooking? When I sear steaks or chicken I feel it wears on my clothes and I do not like to walk around smelling like food lol. Any tips on that would be appreciated 🙂
I try to change into an old sweatshirt or tee when I am stir-frying food or pan frying a batch of bacon. I find that wearing an apron is not enough! Same thing happens when you use the grill.
Wash in Borax. It helps to take out gasoline smells in work clothes... rather sniff steak aroma than gasoline though, YMMV. Still, useful info if you wanna become an arsonist.
it's pretty much kerosene so will always stink. Not a fan there's too many other less toxic products. But if you like it their website shows tons of uses
Hate the smell of WD40. Once I used it to get rid of huge colony of carpenter bees in my garage wall - they hate the smell too. WD40 in a shower stall can present a dangerous slippery floor.
I Love all your tips & tricks, & have become addicted to watching your various videos, but many are far too long for me to spend the time watching each to the end in one sitting. While I do save some, & either go back to them later, &/or try to go through the transcripts to find the points I'm interested in saving for future reference, it's not always easy (I'm still trying to find the various stainless steel cleaning products you named in 1 or 2 videos, but at this point, I've seen so many, I have no clue where to look! I often take notes, but my phones tends to make me lose the video if paused for more than a few seconds, but that's another problem!!). Maybe if there are multiple tricks or tips on a video, a "table of contents" at the start of the video may help, & then having the ability to easily skip to the desired point, or maybe have them broken up into mini tutorials. Also, numbering or more clearly dating the videos would help (mine usually say something like posted 3 months ago, or 1 yr., not an actual dates), as well as organizing them by category (room, subject, product, etc.). The only breakdown I find regularly is by store like Dollar Tree, IKEA, Amazon, etc. Some of the videos really seem to skip around a lot. It makes me feel like I'm in an unfamiliar grocery store w/o a directory, so I have to go thru the entire store just to find the one or 2 items I need.😢
Look for some awesome product yellow liquid takes care of rust mildew clean spots out of carpet also does not bleach carpet use on clothes just wash out thoroughly 😊
There are toilet seats that are slow-close and easy-clean. The seat pops off for easy cleaning on the bowl and you can clean and rinse the seat in the shower or utility sink if you want.
@@pamunderwood2935ot sure what her rationale was, but greasy in a track will attract and hold dust, dirt and debris that will impact smooth operation. Edited to suggest graphite.
There are calcium and and other deposits that can be cleaned up by using a popsicle stick to scrape clean or scrape off no blade needed. Tried when I was a kid over 50 years ago and still working with out permanent scratches that don’t come off.
How do you get around the SMELL of the spray lubricant? I want to some these indoor uses, but the “WD40 smell” lingers and I detect it for days when I enter our home. 🤷♀️ Would it hurt to add a few drops of a pleasant essential oil to make the scent tolerable?

For removing sticky labels, if you hit it with a blow dryer for about a minute, it will loosen the glue so it's easier to remove.

Spray on gum, use bottom scoop of can to scrape up til removed, follow with dawn dish detergent or good degreaser to remove WD-40…. And… all done. I also use on squeaky door hinges.
Alcohol is also effective in cleaning stainless steel appliances. 1 pt. H20, 1 pt. Ispo. Alcohol

VINAGAR...
Grandpa swore by two things. One was duct tape, the other was WD-40. I keep one of each around. He wasn't wrong about either one.
I fix things all the time and never seem to need duct tape for anything. WD40 is great tho
And WD-40 will even remove duct tape. But to be honest I've found that PB Blaster works even better and is a better penetrating oil.
My daddy said, "If it's supposed to move and it's not, used the WD-40. If it's moving and it's not supposed to, use the duct tape. 😊🙂🙃
@@Jiggyjiggy123 Sounds good but PB Blaster is way better than WD-40. It costs more but it always costs more for quality.

To get label off of items :
use your hair dryer to heat up the glue. Works great
I use liquid coconut oil on sticky label residue, it worked great! Non toxic and no strong odor. Apply to area let soak for a bit then I use these cool scraper sticks to peel off the residue. Saves your manicure and your skin!
L.A.'s Totally Awesome works on getting sticky labels off as well.
I just found out about the hair dryer in a different video last night.
That spray is very strong to use it indoors. I use it for my car doors hinges.. even outside its fumes are extremely strong

White vinegar soak will work better and easier than razor blade on mineral deposits.

This also works great for sore joints. Found this out from a nurse after a bad motorcycle crash when I didn't want narcotics. It really worked.

use duct tape!

While I do save some, & either go back to them later, &/or try to go through the transcripts to find the points I'm interested in saving for future reference, it's not always easy (I'm still trying to find the various stainless steel cleaning products you named in 1 or 2 videos, but at this point, I've seen so many, I have no clue where to look! I often take notes, but my phones tends to make me lose the video if paused for more than a few seconds, but that's another problem!!).
Maybe if there are multiple tricks or tips on a video, a "table of contents" at the start of the video may help, & then having the ability to easily skip to the desired point, or maybe have them broken up into mini tutorials. Also, numbering or more clearly dating the videos would help (mine usually say something like posted 3 months ago, or 1 yr., not an actual dates), as well as organizing them by category (room, subject, product, etc.). The only breakdown I find regularly is by store like Dollar Tree, IKEA, Amazon, etc. Some of the videos really seem to skip around a lot. It makes me feel like I'm in an unfamiliar grocery store w/o a directory, so I have to go thru the entire store just to find the one or 2 items I need.😢
You are a role model!!! Thank you

Silver granit. Got the same granit in my kitchen.
Little expensive, but they last forever.
Save money and use catchup for rust.
Thanks!
You are the BEST Lynn! Thank you for your generosity!

$3 and $5 sections in Orem Utah! It's an awesome addition! 👌

Thanks for ALL your super thanks LYNN!! I really appreciate it :-)
Look for some awesome product yellow liquid takes care of rust mildew clean spots out of carpet also does not bleach carpet use on clothes just wash out thoroughly 😊
What's the best way to remove calcium, lime, rust...especially, rust on stainless steel.
Steel wool 0000 always works for me 👍
I use Ed-40 for that, it works great, also give my stainless steel fridge, stove and hood a rub down to keep away rust.
The product CLR is made JUST for that purpose
@@loiscampbell3510 thank you
There are toilet seats that are slow-close and easy-clean.
The seat pops off for easy cleaning on the bowl and you can clean and rinse the seat in the shower or utility sink if you want.
Use Kaboom! Bathroom cleaner on those sinks faucets and showers, even the doors & faucets, no scrubbing
I HAVE to check out that lubricant. I haven't afforded the expensive stuff!
Q-tips work well for small spaces. In the car as well.
Good job ! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Love your meticulousness! Just like me. Thank u for sharing all of these fab tips!!! ❤❤❤😊
You are so welcome!
You have a such a soothing voice. ASMR like. 👍🏽 Thanks
😊 thank you
Where's the broom one? You can use olive oil to remove green dye and super glue. It says you shouldn't use WD40 on skin.
I also want to see the one with broom
At this point I would just burn a bunch of WD-40 scented candles all over my house.
Loved these tip’s please keep them coming 👏🏾
Doesn't coating woodwork with this lubricant cause it to attract dust and dirt? Seems like a bad idea to me.
I agree
Unfortunately, you are correct.
One thing I just learned not to do with wd40 is use it on sliding glass door tracks or as garage door lube. Aluminum wax instead.
Why not? Please explain.
@@pamunderwood2935ot sure what her rationale was, but greasy in a track will attract and hold dust, dirt and debris that will impact smooth operation.
Edited to suggest graphite.
I will have to use this new product.
Most aerosol cans don't work well unless they are held upright. I just saw you were having some issues ;)
Both of my local dollar tree stores have the plus section already
Colgate White toothpaste remove crayon stains
Try an enzyme cleaner (like your laundry detergents). It eats the mold. Make sure it sits on it for awhile.
Thank you for sharing
There are calcium and and other deposits that can be cleaned up by using a popsicle stick to scrape clean or scrape off no blade needed. Tried when I was a kid over 50 years ago and still working with out permanent scratches that don’t come off.
Thank you!!!
You're welcome!
Another great video.😊👍
Thanks so much!
baking soda and vinegar will do the same job with less fumes.
Love this video, very inspiring. Thank you for sharing 😁😍👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
How do you get around the SMELL of the spray lubricant? I want to some these indoor uses, but the “WD40 smell” lingers and I detect it for days when I enter our home. 🤷♀️ Would it hurt to add a few drops of a pleasant essential oil to make the scent tolerable?
this is so awesome!!! and so OCD 😂
I'm pretty sure WD 40 will loosen caulking so I don't know if you should use around sinks or in certain bathroom spots
Use the wWD40 directly on the steel wool pad- skip the water
Should be able to put that in a ziplock or Tupperware and reuse that wool pad
Thanks.
Using a heat gun such as one used by crafters will also remove stuck-on labels.
