Happy Wednesday and welcome to my Cleaning Hacks Marathon video! This is over an hour of my favorite cleaning hacks from the past two years! I hope you enjoy and let me know in the comments if you use any of these tips in your home?
Hi Ashley!!! So excited to see your new videos. It’s fun! I used wet brushes but my girls have curly hair and they get so tangly. No the only one that won’t hurt them is my L’ange hair brush lol. Thanks for tips!
Hi Ashley, I have a couple tips. 1. You can clean scuff marks off a cordless handheld Dyson with Magic Erase Sponges. 2. You can clean white iPhone charge cords with WD-40. Love your vids! 💗
The way to get the crumbs out of the toaster, after you remove and clean the crumb tray, is (this is gonna get a bit technical now so you may want to takes notes)...unplug the toaster, turn it over your countertop or opened garbage pail and SHAKE THE TOASTER! 😃 That's how I do it, my mom did it and my grandmother did it. Sometimes the simplest way really is the best way.
That’s how I clean mine too just shake it & all the crumbs come out! Always done it that way & often too.🍞 I like how fancy she made the toilet paper roll! 🧻
I do the shake over the sink, but I learned you have to shake with the push down levers closer to your body. If you shake it the other way, you will get crumbs between the lever and the mechanism inside (magnet) and the lever will no longer stay down unless you open the cover and manually remove the crumbs.
Make sure none of the knobs on the toaster aren't loose (if you have any), and you don't accidentally throw it away in the garbage and then realize it a week later ~ like me.
You can also put a dryer sheet in your vacuum cleaner and as you are using it,it fleshing the air as you go and your vacuum smells nice also. You can also use your used dryer sheets to clean the lint filter on your dryer after every load it makes it so much easier and use a dryer sheet to clean the bugs off the front of your car wet the dryer sheet just a little.
You left some good ideas, however you need to describe everything step by step as you do them name the product it is more effective than telling folks to go to booton of your page. Don't market your self so much and it will also limit you dead zones people get bored.and then they move on from your program.annie
With the trash can bags I don't put them in the bottom, I drape them over the side before putting the new bag in place. Also, if you put a chux/puppy pad in the bottom of the trashcan it'll be easier clean up in the event the bag tears and leaks into the trash can. Add a bit of baking soda, carpet powder, etc on the chux to help keep foul odors in check
With the garbage bags don't put them on the bottom where they might get yucky and wasted, put them in place just like your bag but put 3 or 4 bags in place instead of at the bottom. If anything leaks it goes into the next bag. Then you don't have a crumpled, messy bag at the bottom. 🙂
For cutting the thick build-up of hair on my vacuum roller, I've found a seam ripper is absolutely the best! Much easier than scissors and lets you get into all the areas that scissors are too big to reach.
Great tips! 2 More Vinegar Tips: 1. Dishwasher; add 1 Cup during the rinse cycle on every load. It not only helps keep the dishwasher cleaner, but replaces the need for the more expensive "rinse" stuff, since it removes water spots, etc.. 2. Vinegar instead of fabric softener in your laundry. It makes clothes soft, the smell is gone as soon as the clothes dry. It is easier on your clothes to keep the colors brighter, doesn't leave a residue on the fabric that actually wears the clothes down faster, AND helps keep your washing machine cleaner. ***Dryer Lint Screen: at least 1 a month you should wash it with soap & water. Fabric softener; liquid in the washer or dryer sheets, both cause a film to build up on the screen and make it harder for the air to move through it, making it .harder on your dryer and Also, a fire hazard! Test it: after you clean the lint off the screen, take it to a sink and run water onto it, if the water doesn't easily flow through the screen it needs to be washed. :)
Went down also . Now I live in senior housing with a common use laundry, so I check the insides of all the machine before I put money in theres not many things more irritating than having to pull dripping wet clothes out of a non functional ,then have to mop. .
@@amyvicente8241 That's great, Amy! I repair vacuum cleaners, and try to help people out by telling them they can save a repair bill by properly maintaining their machines. In my home, I vacuum almost daily. I clean the roller brushes often and use Windex to wipe them down, afterwards. I change the bags, or shake out the bag on my vintage model, when I notice the airflow dropping, or if there is a musty odor.
Instead of throwing away old gift or credit cards I always keep a few in my kitchen and use them every time I'm doing dishes. They work wonderful to scrape out food from my nonstick pots without scratching them. It's the same as only using plastic utensils I suppose but they are great for scraping stuff that has dried on the plates, counters and even dried food on the floor. Be sure to throw away when they get too worn out because they will get sharp after awhile and may scratch your pans.Also I like the way they bend easily for the curves in my pots and pans. I also keep a few small regular cheep paint brushes for dusting in tight spots and I keep a soft one to sweep of the hair from my hair clippers and my husband's neck. I use the ones with the black foam to clean the tracks in my windows and in-between and behind my kitchen and bathroom faucets. They are so great to use the small foam ones to clean the very hard to reach rim around all brands of the Instapot pressure cookers. Its so hard to clean that lip around the top where food always gets down where you cant easily get to it. Works perfectly and i buy both kinds of the paint brushes iv mentioned from Dollar tree. I also use the gift cards to scrape stuck on foods in the bottom of my Instapot even the nonstick type and they will not scratch it but the food will just come out so easily even when its burnt on the bottom. I absolutley love using the gift cards. Last thing I always have regular razor blades. I buy them by the hundreds because they are handy. I do not buy stinky oven cleaner. I just use my razor blade and all the burnt off crap on the bottom or sides or even the glass in the oven comes off so freaking easily and no it never scrapes up the metal because the inside of the ovens are quite durable material. I also carefully use the blades for the top of my glass stove and even my counters sometimes when there is burnt on stuff on my glass top stove or like dried food or sugary stuff on my counters. Makes it so easy to clean up. Be cautious of what your counters are made of so they don't scratch but you can always use the gift cards to scrape the counters instead.They are the handiest things!😘👍
Just a small tip, anything that you keep plugged into an outlet will still use electricity even when not in use. I always keep my toaster and other appliances unplugged. Also, replace your furnace air filter every season. Just like a toothbrush! And did you know you need to replace the vent filter that goes to your air vents in your car? This is a different filter than the filter you change when you get your oil changed. Also, I rotate my tires every other oil change. I also keep a dryer sheet in the bottom of my trash can to absorb smells! One more thing to clean seasonally is the refrigerator vent. Fantastic video, Ashley!
@@janicetribbiani7535 Some of the car places will tell you need to replace them even though you don't. I can go back to the 1 place 1 month after getting them replaced, & they will tell me it needs to be replaced. I will remind them I just had it replaced, & they are like " oh okay".
Faster way to remove sticky labels, use your clothing steamer. Its hot enough to melt the sticker glue but not hot enough to damage the plastic. Plus you save your lemons and a manicure. 37:25
Ok to clean hair built-up oil and dirt and hair grease and gunk built up in hairbrushes. Just use any cheap foaming shaving cream. Spray it on hairbrushes. Rub the bristles together. Rinse in hot water do it again bang. Brush bristles down on hard surface. Rinse bang again. All the hair and gunk should be gone rinse and let dry.
The lemon essential oil is toxic to dogs!! I Always look up if an essential oil I'd like to use is toxic to dogs (my memory is terrible) - I once put lemon oil in a bathtub full of water (to bathe in), and my dog was vomiting for 2 days! I'm so thankful the reaction wasn't worse!! Please be careful using any essential oil if you have pets- 30 seconds on Google could save your pet! The clothing steamer is so much safer!!
Hey everyone, when you are cleaning something and your bowl of clean water and detergent start getting dirty, CHANGE THE WATER! If you keep cleaning with the dirty water, whatever you are cleaning will not be clean! You will more than likely need to change your water several times!😊
I learned from a video of a better way to wash your car that you keep (2) buckets. One with your cleaning solution and the other with clean water. Each time you clean with the rag, rinse it in the clean water, then put it back in the cleaning solution to get more of that to clean the surface. This way your now dirty rag won't mess up your cleaning solution. It totally makes sense, I think.
@@ebasic790 It's more that it clogs everything up. Fabric softener tends to bind to paper products (among other, ahem...things) and gunks up pretty badly causing difficult to dissolve clogs. The bigger issue, in my opinion, would be that it could harm the good bacteria that live in septic tanks but that could be remedied by using Rid-X on a regular basis. :)
The shaving cream hack is an oldie! One hack I know works is putting Rain-X (hope I spelled that correctly) on your shower doors & the water will repel off. You will still have to clean it, but it won't be as bad. Also, love the sign "welcome 2020 - we're going to be great friends" HA!😆
I thought the same, but you know she likes pretty bottles. I’d mess around and think it was a bottle of water and spray my hair or something else that didn’t need alcohol 😮
Great hacks ! About the toilet brush. I learned this hack from another RUclipsr.. but what she does is let the brush air dry with the lid open. This helps the brush get more air and it dries quicker .
Hair brush cleaning ~ add white vinegar to dawn n hot water and soak. Vinegar and dawn really help to remove built up hair products , spray, gel, mousse etc off your brushes
I pick up my unplugged toaster, turn it upside down and give it a good shake! Nearly all the big crumbs come out, but if they are stuck, find a strong, long slim object to break them down, then shake it once again. (I mostly forget about cleaning my toaster too!)
Good video. To clean the stains from inside my coffee cup I mix baking soda and water to form a paste and then use mixture to clean inside cup. This method takes away all the coffee stains. I know it’s crazy but I don’t like my cups stained. 🙂
I use an old box of dishwasher soap powder - it's no longer effective for the dishwasher, but it does a great job of cleaning ss thermoses or cups with stains. Just put in a tbsp of the powder and add hot water, then let it sit overnight and the stains will be gone.
I have done the oven door tip and I used a dryer vent brush with a rag wrapped around it worked really well. The TP tip is cute, but to time consuming for just my home, but cute idea for and Air B&B. I have also been doing the vinegar in my washer for a long time, but didn’t know about the dishwasher. Thank for this info.
Helpful video Ashley! For getting hair off the vaccum roller brush I use a seam ripper it cuts right through. I no longer use glass cleaner for mirrors I just use the e-cloth for glass.
Hi! I'm new to your subscribe! You have some neat ideas!The steamed up bathroom mirror hack use dish liquid start with a 2 drops on a cloth and buff till dry. Size of mirror matters use more as needed. Can also use 1 drop per glass to your eyeglasses and buff till dry no foggy lens.
Hi there. It looks so pretty I would be scared to use the toilet paper. It would be good for the extra roll on the side. Fold the one on the roll in a point people will not be so upset messing up the pretty flower. Nice hack. Stay safe out there. Take care and God bless.
Hi Ashley, I’m Sheila new to your videos love them I clean all the time plus I clean my brother and sister in laws house I always fold the toilet paper over in a V but I love the flower and the towel folding I’m definitely going to do this! Thank you Ashley!
Thanks for the awesome tips Ashley! For those little laundry detergent cups, when I wash a load of towels, I throw my cup in the laundry with my towels. It cleans the cup and I get to use any residue detergent for cleaning my towels... Win/Win... :)
The plastic cups/lids of liquid laundry soap/fabric softener can be put in the washer with clothes they work as an agitator which in turn cleaner clothes!✌🏽
My favorite clip was Tiger opening the door 🥰 My furbaby does the same thing, she doesn't like seeing any door close so she goes around pushing them open 😂🤣
If you have glass shower doors with hard water stains and soap scum use wd40. Spray, let it sit for a couple minutes and wipe. Many years ago I moved into a house and found this hack...turns out my "frosted" shower doors had YEARS of hard water and scale on them. The difference was mind boggling and it was EASY. Of course afterwards I used a glass cleaner, mainly because I hate the smell of WD40.
@@janetkensett1503 I've used it on them. I would do a small test area to make sure it doesn't damage anything although I honestly don't see why it would.
For that reason I have shower curtains out of fabric. I throw them in the washing machine when dirty or stained with hard water and hang them up to dry
Thanks for the trash bag trick. I used it just now. It works better. I take my toaster outside and use a can of air to blow out the crumbs. Works so well. You can also take the straw brushes to get down in there to knock stuck pieces off. 😀
I knew abou dishwasher filter and clean mine regularly. I do read the manual for all my appliances, something my dad taught me to do, when I started to live independently.
I rarely use a toaster. It sits on a small tray inside a lower cabinet, keeping crumbs out of the cabinet. Open the hinged crumb tray over the sink, gently move a bottle or straw cleaning brush to loosen crumbs, then wipe the door clean. I do it as needed. About once every 6 months. The hair dryer is a new idea to me. I may try that as well.
You’re suppose to put it in the second way because the bags on the roll always come inside out. If you look at the bag after putting it in the can the second way, you should see the seams. The seams should be on the inside, not outside. And, by putting the bag in the 2nd way, that’s when you will benefit from the scent of you purchased scented bags.
Love these cleaning hacks!! The hair brush one is so much better than my routine right now. Just make sure with brushes that have natural bristles that you spritz a light hair oil or conditioning mist to maintain the bristles!
I boil water in a pan, turn off heat then dip my brushes bristle side down in and out for about a minute and it dissolves the product gunk off; also the hair stuck on slips off easily.
Toilet bowl cleaner works great on all kinds of stains around the house. Tub and shower, calcium buildup around the kitchen faucet, rust stains or discoloration on terrazzo flooring. I've been using it outside of the toilet for about 20 years.
I have a question. Since you don't cook very often and I understand because I only like to cook on the days I am off work OR work from home, what do you usually eat? Maybe a video idea about what to eat when you don't cook. We like cans of soup, frozen meals and salad in a bags
Salad in a bag is OK but frozen meals and cans of soup have so much added salt to make them taste good. All that extra salt is not good for you. Checked your blood pressure reading lately ??
@@TheGeorgia2437 i was talking about ONLY the times when I don't have time to cook or eat out. usually i eat out(get salads or fresh food) i cook 4 days a week and the solutions I was naming are for when i don't eat out or cook, my bloodwork is fine, my dr actually always tells me i am the best of the day when i get it done lol
@@vanillahybrid have you tried cooking double what you’re going to eat and freezing half for other days. I used to do pancakes like that for the kids and they only had to pop them in the microwave
The oil in the vacuum filter hack just changed my life! lol Omg I've always hated that my vacuum smells like dog, and then makes my whole house stink when I vacuum....but I had never thought of that! Game changer!
Great tips! I throw my wet brush in the washer with a small load. I need to declutter, ugh. I love how your pups follow you around so cute. Thanks for the tip especially on the oven glass!
Blanca, the best way to clean oven door is pull upward on door and it comes off of stove...put towels on island and lay door on it and clean through the three slots at bottom of door..Easy peasy!
When you are refilling your soap, you can avoid the slow roll by filling with water to half or 3/4 and then use warm or warmer water and a fork or butter knife to stir inside. It’ll all be blended and then you can finish topping off with water.
Be cautious with the products like limeaway, read the label. I found some are not to be used around chrome faucets. I learned the hard way. When it dark spotted or tarnished my tub faucet.
Another tip for the bathroom, I put a few drops of essential oil on the cardboard TP roll keeps it smelling nice by the commode. Thx I’m learning so much 💯✌️
I enjoyed this! I will use some tips for sure. I have just started using rubbing alcohol for my glass and mirrors for a streak free shine. Plus, it's a lot cheaper than glass cleaner. It's really great for cleaning the windows too. I used to use distilled vinegar, which cleans the tv screen really well, but I didn't like the smell it left behind. For the labels, if you stick it in the freezer for a few minutes it'll come right off. And I put a few drops of essential oil on my vacuum filter and it scents off throughout the house. I really like lavender because it calms my pets while I'm cleaning.
For the candle I put in oven at 200 degrees until melted completely. I’ll readjust the wick back to the middle if it has moved. Thanks for all the cool tips Ashley ! 🫶
I clean mine after every use. Just turn over and shake it out into the sink and clean the tray. Growing up my mom would always scare me that if you're not shaking the crumbs out AND cleaning the crumb tray after EVERY use, your inviting pests to come and enjoy a buffet.
You know the oven door comes off right? It's a lot easier to clean that inside/in-between glass if it's like up on the counter/table. Just a lil tip 😉 Thanks for always sharing with us!
We took our oven door off to clean which was brilliant but unfortunately we could not get it back on and had to call an appliance repair man lol so now we just don't take it off.
I throw my hair brushes in the washing machine with my laundry and wash...also when I do my curtains, I wash them and hang them back up WET, they dry just fine that way...
People with arthritis it is hard to do all that bending and crawling. I do my base boards with my swifter duster faithfully every week. Every 6 months I sit on a low roller chair and wash the base boards. Do love the hacks!!
I love your video! The cleaning hacks were great but you are so authentic. When things work: you tell and show us and when things do not work: you show and tell us! Thank you for the tips and thank you for being you! Great video!
Be careful using toilet bowl cleaner around chrome sinks. Lysol will corrode it. It will start to turn green, turn dull or peel and it's sad. I can't wait to try these hacks. Stamping the tp sounds so fun! TY.
I wish I could use a rolling hamper lol. But my washer and dryer are in my basement. So that wouldn’t work. But my 10 and 8 year old wash their own clothes and even put them away. So that helps a lot for my family of 6. 😃
Wow! That's impressive! You are defiantly doing something right. I had 4 children and that never crossed my mind and I still remember the mountains of clothes we always had because I just couldn't keep up with it because I was also doing U.P.S. uniforms for all the drivers. So there was 2 washers and 2 dryers in my laundry room. I wish I had started teaching the kids to help with more than they did but when you have teenagers who don't even want to do the dishes and they start disappearing one by one. When you realize your missing everything from pots, plates and almost all the silverware and then your husband is weedeating behind the wood fence and discovers all the missing dishes pans and silverware I think I was a bit afraid if she was helping with my laundry that the clothes might disappear also💸💸💸I think I just decided to do it myself. My daughter is now 30 and I still can't believe she threw all our dishes over the fence instead of washing them! I was doing her dishes to help out and I asked her if I could just throw them over the fence?
Toaster: Unplug it. Remove the crumb tray. Hold the toaster upside down over the trash or a sink and just smack the sides and shake it. Works great. I do this about every 4-6 months or before heavy use.
Dryer sheet hack. In the winter when you brush your hair and it stands out from static, just wipe a dry dryer sheet over your head first, and no static.
Great hacks! Thanks for sharing. By the way, keeping the toaster clean is easy. After every use, unplug it and then shake it over the trash can. Blowing crumbs is double duty. I also store the toaster after every use to avoid clutter on my counter since it’s not used on a daily basis. I’m also about to go clean my dishwasher filter.
Take your toaster (not to hard), bang it a few times against the counter. Wipe up crumbs as you go, and then do it a few more times, each time wiping up crumps. In Bathroom - Turn on your fan when you go in and leave it on until you open the door and leave.
The wax paper hack on top of the cabinets is brilliant. Really wish I knew that in my last house! We just moved into a new home and I made sure the cabinets reached the ceiling because I couldn't stand the dust on them any more.
Any time you go to light a candle always bring a pair of nail clippers, or a wick trimmer, and always trim your wicks to 1/8 in tall. If it’s a 3 wick candle, clip all 3 of them. The first time you trim the wick it will be wax coated and easy to trim. When you blow them out let them cool before using them again. And as always, trim the wick again to 1/8 in tall before lighting again. If you just have nail clippers you may have to slide them onto the already burned wicks from the side of the wick then clip them with a steady one motion click. Then turn the clippers away from the candle after it’s lit 🔥 and tap them to release the burnt wick in the nail clippers. After the wick burns the wick will spread out at the top of the burnt part. If you just light it again with the spread out blackened wick it can cause a little black soot to get on the top edge of or in some of the already melted wax. I light to use White Gardenia, or Vanilla candles so I’m extra careful to keep the black soot away from my pretty white candles.
If you or your family are sensitive to dyes, or have any skin condition, using vinegar in place of the fabric softener will get all the soap out of your clothes. I have known several people that stopped itching after doing this.
Some good tips! BTW - Quickest and easiest way to get rid of wrapped hair in your vacuum cleaner is to use a $1 seam splitter - they're perfect and so cheap.
That Lime Away toilet bowl cleaner works great on rust and hard water stains in toilets, sinks and showers! I have a residential cleaning business and I keep Lime Away toilet bowl cleaner on hand for when it's needed.
❤️ We put 4-5 bags indside each other and then put all in garbage. When you remove the full bag, the next one is already in place 😋 Love from Denmark 🇩🇰
Doesn't the next full bag get smelly? It's the same reason I don't keep extra bags in the bottom of the kitchen trash. I do keep extra bags in the garbage bins in the bathrooms and office area.😃
How about shortening you blinds in kitchen? I drill a one/two inch hole on bottom sides of plastic trash can so there is no suction effect when pulling out the trash bags.
I highly recommend reading the manuals that come with your appliances, even if that means looking them up online. You will learn how to clean/maintain them and that will extend their useful life. Filters and the like will no longer be a mystery! Your pups (I saw 2?) are cute as they shadow you while you film!
If you read the washer instructions in the manual that’s how it says you should wash your clothes, filling it first with soap and water, then put in your clothes. Now my dishwasher is 23 years old and I’m not sure if it has a filter to clean like yours but now I have to check it 😊
I've never cleaned my toaster tray, but I am going to start! It's something you just don't think of doing! I have taken a baby bottle cleaning brush to inside.
Great tips Ashley!! Also, just letting you know there’s a few things repeated throughout the video. The toilet paper stamp so far has had 3 or 4 clips and then cleaning the vacuum with the old pen twice so far as well as alcohol shoe spray. Not a big deal just wanted to let u know! Take care 😁
@@ITellTheTruth298 lol, I don’t think she meant to put the same thing in one video that many times. Unless she just wanted to stretch the video over an hour and didn’t have anything else but that seems unlikely to me. It’s easy when editing, especially longer videos to accidentally repeat clips. I hate my comment bothered you. Hope you have a great day!
I put mine in the 2nd. way. It let's all the air out and you don't have all that puffiness and have to fight with it🤣🤭 Love it.❤️ Thank you for your videos!! Very helpful 🤗🌹
Your toaster cleaning hack is good but here are 3 observations from an old school house cleaner. I) after you empty the tray, which I did know existed, empty and clean it. then put it back into the toaster so you are not cleaning off counter tops, and you can see what has come out of the toaster. 2) attach the adapter on the hair dryer to concentrate air flow, and run it longer on the cool setting then the hot. Finally try the dryer vent vacuum attachment to get out remaining crumbs. Then use the hair dryer method as a weekly maintenance. Keep up the Good Work! Cleanliness is next to Godliness.❤
Rain-x like you use on a car windshield will treat a mirror too, and heating vinegar in the microwave also helps make the microwave easy to wipe out and helps with odors while you prep it for deodorizing the sink. A little tea tree oil in the alcohol for shoes helps to prevent foot fungus too.
Thank you for being so transparent. There are too many videos who show perfection but that’s not real life. I really appreciate you. For me It’s been such a shameful & guilt filed part of my life for so long. So now , in my 50’s, I’m learning how to do better & learn the new skill of decluttering & organizing. I’m a year & a half in & my helper encourages me when I think it’s not good enough. I even just cleaned up b4 she gets here in the morning. I’m still working on me, my anxiety & self esteem. I have a lot of help, which was hard to find without judgement. So I am so proud of you and thank you for sharing your story. I’m forever subscribed.
Thanks for sharing some of your journey and struggles. We all have struggles and guilt for different things and it’s important to have people around that won’t judge and understand what you are going through. Hang strong and keep pushing on! God loves you!
I'm laying in bed as I watch this. First off, I remember when these videos came out over a year ago and I Never realized how red her hair looked until she went back to brown! Also, our dishwasher is around 4 months old so when I wake up tomorrow I'll be checking our dishwasher filter for sure!
Something I find more efficient than vinegar is citric acid. It cheap, potent and doesn't have any smell. It comes in a powder like baking soda. You can mix it water in a container to spray your bathroom. You can use a teaspoon of powder in your kettle to get rid of tartar. I spray my toilet bowl. It's great to clean your broiler, anything in the kitchen. You should try it!
I saw a gentleman give the best hack for cleaning the inside glass on the stove door. If you open the door, there are screws on the top of the door when you open it that can be undone to do a better job.
Hi 👋 just vinegar and any dish soap inside a spray bottles it really works and it helps cleaning bathrooms and sinks and stoves just leave it on for couple minutes or more spot less! ✨💖
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this video. Especially because you mention your sensitivity to scents and smells. I also suffer from reactions to these as well. As I’ve gotten older, my reactions have become quite severe. So it’s extremely helpful when others make mention of this and what products they use. I will definitely be incorporating many of your hacks into my cleaning routine. Thank you for taking the time to make this compilation.
Happy Wednesday and welcome to my Cleaning Hacks Marathon video! This is over an hour of my favorite cleaning hacks from the past two years! I hope you enjoy and let me know in the comments if you use any of these tips in your home?
Hi Ashley!!! So excited to see your new videos. It’s fun! I used wet brushes but my girls have curly hair and they get so tangly. No the only one that won’t hurt them is my L’ange hair brush lol. Thanks for tips!
We don't care because we love your hack videos. I'm excited to watch. Ok, back to the video.
I always put extra bags in the bottom of my garbage cans. I'll have to try the hack for how to put a garbage bag on the can.
Hi Ashley, I have a couple tips.
1. You can clean scuff marks off a cordless handheld Dyson with Magic Erase Sponges.
2. You can clean white iPhone charge cords with WD-40.
Love your vids! 💗
great video, I'm exhausted, now need a nap. and a visit with my shrink because i'm way to old to do much of this and I'm depressed.
The way to get the crumbs out of the toaster, after you remove and clean the crumb tray, is (this is gonna get a bit technical now so you may want to takes notes)...unplug the toaster, turn it over your countertop or opened garbage pail and SHAKE THE TOASTER! 😃 That's how I do it, my mom did it and my grandmother did it. Sometimes the simplest way really is the best way.
That’s how I clean mine too just shake it & all the crumbs come out! Always done it that way & often too.🍞 I like how fancy she made the toilet paper roll! 🧻
I do the shake over the sink, but I learned you have to shake with the push down levers closer to your body. If you shake it the other way, you will get crumbs between the lever and the mechanism inside (magnet) and the lever will no longer stay down unless you open the cover and manually remove the crumbs.
I do it the same way my mom did to, I shake it over the sink
Make sure none of the knobs on the toaster aren't loose (if you have any), and you don't accidentally throw it away in the garbage and then realize it a week later ~ like me.
Haha EXACTLY! C'mon!
You can also put a dryer sheet in your vacuum cleaner and as you are using it,it fleshing the air as you go and your vacuum smells nice also. You can also use your used dryer sheets to clean the lint filter on your dryer after every load it makes it so much easier and use a dryer sheet to clean the bugs off the front of your car wet the dryer sheet just a little.
Old dryer sheets are also effective in removing soap scum from bathroom shower walls and backsplash.
You left some good ideas, however you need to describe everything step by step as you do them name the product it is more effective than telling folks to go to booton of your page. Don't market your self so much and it will also limit you dead zones people get bored.and then they move on from your program.annie
You went too fast when showing how to do toilet flower paper hacks and when you did hacks for toilet paper flower stamps, and how to fold towels.
Toxic perfumes and scents aren’t good
With the trash can bags I don't put them in the bottom, I drape them over the side before putting the new bag in place. Also, if you put a chux/puppy pad in the bottom of the trashcan it'll be easier clean up in the event the bag tears and leaks into the trash can. Add a bit of baking soda, carpet powder, etc on the chux to help keep foul odors in check
With the garbage bags don't put them on the bottom where they might get yucky and wasted, put them in place just like your bag but put 3 or 4 bags in place instead of at the bottom. If anything leaks it goes into the next bag. Then you don't have a crumpled, messy bag at the bottom. 🙂
I like this better
Great idea 🤠
I agree
This is a good idea. I’ve been a professional cleaner for years…people do like 2/3 bags at the bottom. I like your idea better I think
I put mine in like the 1st way but your way sounds much better. I’m gonna try this!
For cutting the thick build-up of hair on my vacuum roller, I've found a seam ripper is absolutely the best! Much easier than scissors and lets you get into all the areas that scissors are too big to reach.
Great tip. I’ll try that next time.
Yess! This is what I use but be careful it's very sharp.
Thank you* wonderful cleaning hacks!
Thank you for that! Will definitely try this tip out.
@@chrissyb6817 Don't you think she should know that duh...
I don't throw extra bags in the bottom of my trash can. I triple line the can and then just remove the top can liner when it's full
Great tips! 2 More Vinegar Tips:
1. Dishwasher; add 1 Cup during the rinse cycle on every load. It not only helps keep the dishwasher cleaner, but replaces the need for the more expensive "rinse" stuff, since it removes water spots, etc..
2. Vinegar instead of fabric softener in your laundry. It makes clothes soft, the smell is gone as soon as the clothes dry. It is easier on your clothes to keep the colors brighter, doesn't leave a residue on the fabric that actually wears the clothes down faster, AND helps keep your washing machine cleaner.
***Dryer Lint Screen: at least 1 a month you should wash it with soap & water. Fabric softener; liquid in the washer or dryer sheets, both cause a film to build up on the screen and make it harder for the air to move through it, making it .harder on your dryer and Also, a fire hazard! Test it: after you clean the lint off the screen, take it to a sink and run water onto it, if the water doesn't easily flow through the screen it needs to be washed. :)
Thank you so much for the tips!
Went down also . Now I live in senior housing with a common use laundry, so I check the insides of all the machine before I put money in theres not many things more irritating than having to pull dripping wet clothes out of a non functional ,then have to mop. .
I'm glad to see someone that maintains their vacuum cleaner. Some people really neglect them and complain about them not working properly.
I agree!! I always dust my filters and clean rollers on bottom every 2 vacuum’s. And my vacuum picks up so much better!
@@amyvicente8241 That's great, Amy! I repair vacuum cleaners, and try to help people out by telling them they can save a repair bill by properly maintaining their machines. In my home, I vacuum almost daily. I clean the roller brushes often and use Windex to wipe them down, afterwards. I change the bags, or shake out the bag on my vintage model, when I notice the airflow dropping, or if there is a musty odor.
Instead of throwing away old gift or credit cards I always keep a few in my kitchen and use them every time I'm doing dishes. They work wonderful to scrape out food from my nonstick pots without scratching them. It's the same as only using plastic utensils I suppose but they are great for scraping stuff that has dried on the plates, counters and even dried food on the floor. Be sure to throw away when they get too worn out because they will get sharp after awhile and may scratch your pans.Also I like the way they bend easily for the curves in my pots and pans. I also keep a few small regular cheep paint brushes for dusting in tight spots and I keep a soft one to sweep of the hair from my hair clippers and my husband's neck. I use the ones with the black foam to clean the tracks in my windows and in-between and behind my kitchen and bathroom faucets. They are so great to use the small foam ones to clean the very hard to reach rim around all brands of the Instapot pressure cookers. Its so hard to clean that lip around the top where food always gets down where you cant easily get to it. Works perfectly and i buy both kinds of the paint brushes iv mentioned from Dollar tree. I also use the gift cards to scrape stuck on foods in the bottom of my Instapot even the nonstick type and they will not scratch it but the food will just come out so easily even when its burnt on the bottom. I absolutley love using the gift cards. Last thing I always have regular razor blades. I buy them by the hundreds because they are handy. I do not buy stinky oven cleaner. I just use my razor blade and all the burnt off crap on the bottom or sides or even the glass in the oven comes off so freaking easily and no it never scrapes up the metal because the inside of the ovens are quite durable material. I also carefully use the blades for the top of my glass stove and even my counters sometimes when there is burnt on stuff on my glass top stove or like dried food or sugary stuff on my counters. Makes it so easy to clean up. Be cautious of what your counters are made of so they don't scratch but you can always use the gift cards to scrape the counters instead.They are the handiest things!😘👍
Just a small tip, anything that you keep plugged into an outlet will still use electricity even when not in use. I always keep my toaster and other appliances unplugged. Also, replace your furnace air filter every season. Just like a toothbrush!
And did you know you need to replace the vent filter that goes to your air vents in your car? This is a different filter than the filter you change when you get your oil changed. Also, I rotate my tires every other oil change.
I also keep a dryer sheet in the bottom of my trash can to absorb smells!
One more thing to clean seasonally is the refrigerator vent.
Fantastic video, Ashley!
Yes! I have to change the cabin filter in my car at least once a year since it gets so hot and humid where I live.
@@janicetribbiani7535 Some of the car places will tell you need to replace them even though you don't. I can go back to the 1 place 1 month after getting them replaced, & they will tell me it needs to be replaced. I will remind them I just had it replaced, & they are like " oh okay".
Thanks for the advice.❤
I empty the toaster crumb tray after every use...takes a second to do! No different than removing the lint from the lint trap after every dryer load.
@ Lesa Tremblay well since you put it that way 😅
Faster way to remove sticky labels, use your clothing steamer. Its hot enough to melt the sticker glue but not hot enough to damage the plastic. Plus you save your lemons and a manicure. 37:25
Fingernail polish remover does great on glass or crystal for sticky labels.
Ok to clean hair built-up oil and dirt and hair grease and gunk built up in hairbrushes. Just use any cheap foaming shaving cream. Spray it on hairbrushes. Rub the bristles together. Rinse in hot water do it again bang. Brush bristles down on hard surface. Rinse bang again. All the hair and gunk should be gone rinse and let dry.
The lemon essential oil is toxic to dogs!! I Always look up if an essential oil I'd like to use is toxic to dogs (my memory is terrible) -
I once put lemon oil in a bathtub full of water (to bathe in), and my dog was vomiting for 2 days! I'm so thankful the reaction wasn't worse!!
Please be careful using any essential oil if you have pets- 30 seconds on Google could save your pet!
The clothing steamer is so much safer!!
To remove sticky labels you can rub olive oil over the label and it will come off .
I use a hairdryer to melt the glue.
Hey everyone, when you are cleaning something and your bowl of clean water and detergent start getting dirty, CHANGE THE WATER! If you keep cleaning with the dirty water, whatever you are cleaning will not be clean! You will more than likely need to change your water several times!😊
Same thing with carpet cleaning. Too many don't properly clean them leaving dirt and soap residue. They get filthy after a month because of this.
Right? I always thought these things were common sense lol. Apparently not.
I thought the same thing too about the water, but other then that she is awesome
@@sandy703 I agree!
I learned from a video of a better way to wash your car that you keep (2) buckets. One with your cleaning solution and the other with clean water. Each time you clean with the rag, rinse it in the clean water, then put it back in the cleaning solution to get more of that to clean the surface. This way your now dirty rag won't mess up your cleaning solution. It totally makes sense, I think.
Please don't put fabric softener in toilet tanks. It can damage your pipes.
Imagine what it can do to your skin.
@@ebasic790 It's more that it clogs everything up. Fabric softener tends to bind to paper products (among other, ahem...things) and gunks up pretty badly causing difficult to dissolve clogs. The bigger issue, in my opinion, would be that it could harm the good bacteria that live in septic tanks but that could be remedied by using Rid-X on a regular basis. :)
If you ask a plumber, you should't put ANYTHING into the toilet tank. The pipes are ment for water only. Anything else in there is a problem.
Those stamp things u put in the bowel work really good fyi & u don’t have to put anything in tank 😊
The shaving cream hack is an oldie! One hack I know works is putting Rain-X (hope I spelled that correctly) on your shower doors & the water will repel off. You will still have to clean it, but it won't be as bad.
Also, love the sign "welcome 2020 - we're going to be great friends" HA!😆
💗💗💗💗 Almost any spray nozzle will screw right onto the alcohol bottle, peroxide, etc. Great video as always. You're my favorite!!
I thought the same, but you know she likes pretty bottles. I’d mess around and think it was a bottle of water and spray my hair or something else that didn’t need alcohol 😮
Never soak natural hairbrushes in hot water as it will ruin the wood base and the natural bristles.
Great hacks ! About the toilet brush. I learned this hack from another RUclipsr.. but what she does is let the brush air dry with the lid open. This helps the brush get more air and it dries quicker .
Hair brush cleaning ~ add white vinegar to dawn n hot water and soak. Vinegar and dawn really help to remove built up hair products , spray, gel, mousse etc off your brushes
Thanks!
I use Dawn and baking soda to mop my tile floors, clean the tubs and showers
I pick up my unplugged toaster, turn it upside down and give it a good shake! Nearly all the big crumbs come out, but if they are stuck, find a strong, long slim object to break them down, then shake it once again. (I mostly forget about cleaning my toaster too!)
Good idea!
I started cleaning my toaster more often and doesn’t seem to stick
Good video. To clean the stains from inside my coffee cup I mix baking soda and water to form a paste and then use mixture to clean inside cup. This method takes away all the coffee stains. I know it’s crazy but I don’t like my cups stained. 🙂
I have also had luck removing stains with a Magic Erase sponge.
I use an old box of dishwasher soap powder - it's no longer effective for the dishwasher, but it does a great job of cleaning ss thermoses or cups with stains. Just put in a tbsp of the powder and add hot water, then let it sit overnight and the stains will be gone.
I have done the oven door tip and I used a dryer vent brush with a rag wrapped around it worked really well. The TP tip is cute, but to time consuming for just my home, but cute idea for and Air B&B. I have also been doing the vinegar in my washer for a long time, but didn’t know about the dishwasher. Thank for this info.
You can use your blow dryer to loosen your sticky label and it’ll peel right off super easy when it’s warm.
👋🏻YESSSSSS!!!! I swear by the hair dryer hack to remove sticky labels also!! You can also use a lil Windex aka window cleaner to help it along also
Helpful video Ashley! For getting hair off the vaccum roller brush I use a seam ripper it cuts right through. I no longer use glass cleaner for mirrors I just use the e-cloth for glass.
I’ve never seen anyone make a flower on the tissue! It looks so pretty perfect for guest bathrooms💕I like being extra
Hi!
I'm new to your subscribe! You have some neat ideas!The steamed up bathroom mirror hack use dish liquid start with a 2 drops on a cloth and buff till dry. Size of mirror matters use more as needed. Can also use 1 drop per glass to your eyeglasses and buff till dry no foggy lens.
Hi there. It looks so pretty I would be scared to use the toilet paper. It would be good for the extra roll on the side. Fold the one on the roll in a point people will not be so upset messing up the pretty flower. Nice hack. Stay safe out there. Take care and God bless.
I'm selling my house so I did this today just before leaving out the door!! My husband said I was so extra and mine made a flower!
Hi Ashley, I’m Sheila new to your videos love them I clean all the time plus I clean my brother and sister in laws house I always fold the toilet paper over in a V but I love the flower and the towel folding I’m definitely going to do this! Thank you Ashley!
That is beautiful and your female guests will definitely love it!
Thanks for the awesome tips Ashley! For those little laundry detergent cups, when I wash a load of towels, I throw my cup in the laundry with my towels. It cleans the cup and I get to use any residue detergent for cleaning my towels... Win/Win... :)
Yes, I love doing that with the cup! Thanks for watching!
Good idea!
The plastic cups/lids of liquid laundry soap/fabric softener can be put in the washer with clothes they work as an agitator which in turn cleaner clothes!✌🏽
I don't use those cups. I just pour to the fill line inside the soap dispenser, a lot faster.
My favorite clip was Tiger opening the door 🥰 My furbaby does the same thing, she doesn't like seeing any door close so she goes around pushing them open 😂🤣
Haha yes he loves doing that
If you have glass shower doors with hard water stains and soap scum use wd40. Spray, let it sit for a couple minutes and wipe. Many years ago I moved into a house and found this hack...turns out my "frosted" shower doors had YEARS of hard water and scale on them. The difference was mind boggling and it was EASY. Of course afterwards I used a glass cleaner, mainly because I hate the smell of WD40.
Would this work on a moulded bath/shower unit?
@@janetkensett1503 I've used it on them. I would do a small test area to make sure it doesn't damage anything although I honestly don't see why it would.
For that reason I have shower curtains out of fabric. I throw them in the washing machine when dirty or stained with hard water and hang them up to dry
Thanks for the trash bag trick. I used it just now. It works better. I take my toaster outside and use a can of air to blow out the crumbs. Works so well. You can also take the straw brushes to get down in there to knock stuck pieces off. 😀
I would worry about those chemicals being food safe.
Are there chemicals in the tire air?
@@carolgeorge6409 well shoo I never thought about it.
Cleaning a brush-first use a comb to remove hair before washing
I knew abou dishwasher filter and clean mine regularly. I do read the manual for all my appliances, something my dad taught me to do, when I started to live independently.
I rarely use a toaster. It sits on a small tray inside a lower cabinet, keeping crumbs out of the cabinet. Open the hinged crumb tray over the sink, gently move a bottle or straw cleaning brush to loosen crumbs, then wipe the door clean. I do it as needed. About once every 6 months. The hair dryer is a new idea to me. I may try that as well.
I was watching, then suddenly had to check and clean my vacuum. Funny how watching hacks motivates you.
Vinegar is so versatile. However it can be corrosive. would pouring it in your dish washer corrode it?
Your videos make me want to get organized and start cleaning
You’re suppose to put it in the second way because the bags on the roll always come inside out. If you look at the bag after putting it in the can the second way, you should see the seams. The seams should be on the inside, not outside. And, by putting the bag in the 2nd way, that’s when you will benefit from the scent of you purchased scented bags.
Love these cleaning hacks!! The hair brush one is so much better than my routine right now. Just make sure with brushes that have natural bristles that you spritz a light hair oil or conditioning mist to maintain the bristles!
So glad you liked them
I boil water in a pan, turn off heat then dip my brushes bristle side down in and out for about a minute and it dissolves the product gunk off; also the hair stuck on slips off easily.
Toilet bowl cleaner works great on all kinds of stains around the house. Tub and shower, calcium buildup around the kitchen faucet, rust stains or discoloration on terrazzo flooring. I've been using it outside of the toilet for about 20 years.
I never heard this to before. I thought toilet bowl cleaner would be too harsh to use in the tub.
Great tips Ashley. I use Ship Shape from Sally’s Beauty. I Disinfect and dissolves the hair that’s in the brushes. I love it
Just put this on my play list and watching it made me wanna make my house look like a resort🙃
I have a question. Since you don't cook very often and I understand because I only like to cook on the days I am off work OR work from home, what do you usually eat? Maybe a video idea about what to eat when you don't cook. We like cans of soup, frozen meals and salad in a bags
Salad in a bag is OK but frozen meals and cans of soup have so much added salt to make them taste good. All that extra salt is not good for you. Checked your blood pressure reading lately ??
@@TheGeorgia2437 i was talking about ONLY the times when I don't have time to cook or eat out. usually i eat out(get salads or fresh food) i cook 4 days a week and the solutions I was naming are for when i don't eat out or cook, my bloodwork is fine, my dr actually always tells me i am the best of the day when i get it done lol
@@vanillahybrid have you tried cooking double what you’re going to eat and freezing half for other days. I used to do pancakes like that for the kids and they only had to pop them in the microwave
@@QueenGail no I haven't i will try this thank you!
The oil in the vacuum filter hack just changed my life! lol
Omg I've always hated that my vacuum smells like dog, and then makes my whole house stink when I vacuum....but I had never thought of that!
Game changer!
Totally agree
Dog smell means your filter is dirty. Once you wash all the old dirt and hair out of it your vacuum will no longer stink the house up.
The alcohol spray-sometimes you'll find a spray nozzle that fits the alcohol bottle. I love it
Great tips! I throw my wet brush in the washer with a small load.
I need to declutter, ugh. I love how your pups follow you around so cute. Thanks for the tip especially on the oven glass!
Blanca, the best way to clean oven door is pull upward on door and it comes off of stove...put towels on island and lay door on it and clean through the three slots at bottom of door..Easy peasy!
Is it alright to clean expensive 100% boar bristle brushes like that; with very hot water, shampoo and baking soda. Anybody?
When you are refilling your soap, you can avoid the slow roll by filling with water to half or 3/4 and then use warm or warmer water and a fork or butter knife to stir inside. It’ll all be blended and then you can finish topping off with water.
Be cautious with the products like limeaway, read the label. I found some are not to be used around chrome faucets. I learned the hard way. When it dark spotted or tarnished my tub faucet.
The wax paper over cabinets to keep dust off is a great idea for cabinets that dont rise to the ceiling💡
I just dust once a month
Nothing cleans hair brushes better than putting them in a washing machine. It removes everything down to the fuzz.
Another tip for the bathroom, I put a few drops of essential oil on the cardboard TP roll keeps it smelling nice by the commode. Thx I’m learning so much 💯✌️
I enjoyed this! I will use some tips for sure. I have just started using rubbing alcohol for my glass and mirrors for a streak free shine. Plus, it's a lot cheaper than glass cleaner. It's really great for cleaning the windows too. I used to use distilled vinegar, which cleans the tv screen really well, but I didn't like the smell it left behind. For the labels, if you stick it in the freezer for a few minutes it'll come right off. And I put a few drops of essential oil on my vacuum filter and it scents off throughout the house. I really like lavender because it calms my pets while I'm cleaning.
Thanks for your tips and thanks for watching!
What is the style name of your vacuum? Thank you for your videos!@@
I super enjoy your videos
For the candle I put in oven at 200 degrees until melted completely. I’ll readjust the wick back to the middle if it has moved. Thanks for all the cool tips Ashley ! 🫶
Wax has a memory. Be sure to burn it log enough to melt clear to the edges the first time
@@jessicaderstine4061 I never knew this! 🤦♀️
Put a strip of foil shiny side facing the wick around the container ´insider the jar. The heat will be reflected and should melt the area level.
I clean mine after every use. Just turn over and shake it out into the sink and clean the tray. Growing up my mom would always scare me that if you're not shaking the crumbs out AND cleaning the crumb tray after EVERY use, your inviting pests to come and enjoy a buffet.
You know the oven door comes off right? It's a lot easier to clean that inside/in-between glass if it's like up on the counter/table. Just a lil tip 😉 Thanks for always sharing with us!
Thats also what I thought! But I am from germany so I wasnt sure if this a standard up there too.
mine doesn’t, i tried a million times
I was saying that too. Was like, well, I'm done watching this!
We took our oven door off to clean which was brilliant but unfortunately we could not get it back on and had to call an appliance repair man lol so now we just don't take it off.
@@melissamundle456 lol 😂 that would be me
I throw my hair brushes in the washing machine with my laundry and wash...also when I do my curtains, I wash them and hang them back up WET, they dry just fine that way...
LimeAway ❤ Gloves ❤ careful! about two cleaners. The disinfectant wipes with the limeaway could make toxic fumes. Enjoyed your hacks! Thank you!
People with arthritis it is hard to do all that bending and crawling. I do my base boards with my swifter duster faithfully every week. Every 6 months I sit on a low roller chair and wash the base boards. Do love the hacks!!
I love your video! The cleaning hacks were great but you are so authentic. When things work: you tell and show us and when things do not work: you show and tell us! Thank you for the tips and thank you for being you! Great video!
Yes appreciate her so much. One of my favorites
I would pin some kind of string to oven door cleaning cloth so if it comes off stick you can pull it out without taking door apart
Good idea
Be careful using toilet bowl cleaner around chrome sinks. Lysol will corrode it. It will start to turn green, turn dull or peel and it's sad. I can't wait to try these hacks. Stamping the tp sounds so fun! TY.
Yes I had that happen!
I wish I could use a rolling hamper lol. But my washer and dryer are in my basement. So that wouldn’t work. But my 10 and 8 year old wash their own clothes and even put them away. So that helps a lot for my family of 6. 😃
Wow! That's impressive! You are defiantly doing something right. I had 4 children and that never crossed my mind and I still remember the mountains of clothes we always had because I just couldn't keep up with it because I was also doing U.P.S. uniforms for all the drivers. So there was 2 washers and 2 dryers in my laundry room. I wish I had started teaching the kids to help with more than they did but when you have teenagers who don't even want to do the dishes and they start disappearing one by one. When you realize your missing everything from pots, plates and almost all the silverware and then your husband is weedeating behind the wood fence and discovers all the missing dishes pans and silverware I think I was a bit afraid if she was helping with my laundry that the clothes might disappear also💸💸💸I think I just decided to do it myself. My daughter is now 30 and I still can't believe she threw all our dishes over the fence instead of washing them! I was doing her dishes to help out and I asked her if I could just throw them over the fence?
Toaster: Unplug it. Remove the crumb tray. Hold the toaster upside down over the trash or a sink and just smack the sides and shake it. Works great. I do this about every 4-6 months or before heavy use.
You can also use a blow dryer pointed at the sticky label for about 30-45 seconds and it will peel right off. No need to waste your essential oil!
Also any oil, vegetable oil or WD-40 works great
Going to try veg oil
Dryer sheet hack. In the winter when you brush your hair and it stands out from static, just wipe a dry dryer sheet over your head first, and no static.
Thanks Ashley! I actually paused the video and went and did the hair brush hack. For the toilet brush I use the Clorox toilet wand. Love it!
So glad you tried the hack and I’ve heard the Clorox wand is really good. Thanks for watching!
Great hacks! Thanks for sharing. By the way, keeping the toaster clean is easy. After every use, unplug it and then shake it over the trash can. Blowing crumbs is double duty. I also store the toaster after every use to avoid clutter on my counter since it’s not used on a daily basis. I’m also about to go clean my dishwasher filter.
For the ring cleaning hack, if you have a cappuccino machine and it has the broth attachment, you can also use that.
When cleaning hair brushes use one of the brushes to scrub the next one. Rub them together bristles against bristle and they clean each other.
Take your toaster (not to hard), bang it a few times against the counter. Wipe up crumbs as you go, and then do it a few more times, each time wiping up crumps. In Bathroom - Turn on your fan when you go in and leave it on until you open the door and leave.
The wax paper hack on top of the cabinets is brilliant. Really wish I knew that in my last house! We just moved into a new home and I made sure the cabinets reached the ceiling because I couldn't stand the dust on them any more.
That’s a good idea making the cabinets reach the ceiling
I did this on mine, but I used parchment paper, it’s a great hack.
Done this for years .. but with newspaper. Makes cleaning the top of the cupboards much less gross
I shake my toaster (after removing the crumb tray) over the kitchen sink/or garbage can, so the crumbs are contained. Thanks for these hacks!
Any time you go to light a candle always bring a pair of nail clippers, or a wick trimmer, and always trim your wicks to 1/8 in tall. If it’s a 3 wick candle, clip all 3 of them. The first time you trim the wick it will be wax coated and easy to trim. When you blow them out let them cool before using them again. And as always, trim the wick again to 1/8 in tall before lighting again. If you just have nail clippers you may have to slide them onto the already burned wicks from the side of the wick then clip them with a steady one motion click. Then turn the clippers away from the candle after it’s lit 🔥 and tap them to release the burnt wick in the nail clippers. After the wick burns the wick will spread out at the top of the burnt part. If you just light it again with the spread out blackened wick it can cause a little black soot to get on the top edge of or in some of the already melted wax. I light to use White Gardenia, or Vanilla candles so I’m extra careful to keep the black soot away from my pretty white candles.
If you or your family are sensitive to dyes, or have any skin condition, using vinegar in place of the fabric softener will get all the soap out of your clothes. I have known several people that stopped itching after doing this.
Some good tips! BTW - Quickest and easiest way to get rid of wrapped hair in your vacuum cleaner is to use a $1 seam splitter - they're perfect and so cheap.
Wad up tin foil to clean burners on stove tops! No cleaner needed. Also good for cleaning off water spots on shower door.
Tin foil wont scratch steel or etc burners ? Is that same as drip pans or is that different?
That Lime Away toilet bowl cleaner works great on rust and hard water stains in toilets, sinks and showers! I have a residential cleaning business and I keep Lime Away toilet bowl cleaner on hand for when it's needed.
Vinegar is acidic and could ruin parts like rubber etc of appliance
❤️ We put 4-5 bags indside each other and then put all in garbage. When you remove the full bag, the next one is already in place 😋
Love from Denmark 🇩🇰
Doesn't the next full bag get smelly? It's the same reason I don't keep extra bags in the bottom of the kitchen trash. I do keep extra bags in the garbage bins in the bathrooms and office area.😃
@@joyful8072 If the next one is smelly I take it out with the full one 😉.
@@minutsi I fear I'd be doing that too often ;-) But it's great to have tricks for helping the flow and efficiency of work.
@@joyful8072 but it's much better than cleaning it all 😉
@@minutsi no thanks I’m not wasting a trash bag they’re too expensive.
How about shortening you blinds in kitchen?
I drill a one/two inch hole on bottom sides of plastic trash can so there is no suction effect when pulling out the trash bags.
I highly recommend reading the manuals that come with your appliances, even if that means looking them up online. You will learn how to clean/maintain them and that will extend their useful life. Filters and the like will no longer be a mystery!
Your pups (I saw 2?) are cute as they shadow you while you film!
Thanks for the tip! They are always watching me clean lol
If you read the washer instructions in the manual that’s how it says you should wash your clothes, filling it first with soap and water, then put in your clothes. Now my dishwasher is 23 years old and I’m not sure if it has a filter to clean like yours but now I have to check it 😊
I've never cleaned my toaster tray, but I am going to start! It's something you just don't think of doing! I have taken a baby bottle cleaning brush to inside.
Bottle brush ..smart! Thanx!
Great tips Ashley!! Also, just letting you know there’s a few things repeated throughout the video. The toilet paper stamp so far has had 3 or 4 clips and then cleaning the vacuum with the old pen twice so far as well as alcohol shoe spray. Not a big deal just wanted to let u know! Take care 😁

@@ITellTheTruth298 lol, I don’t think she meant to put the same thing in one video that many times.

To clean a shower curtain throw it in the washer(just wash), hang to dry
Lime away is good for shower doors also :)
Seam ripper is great for cleaning hair from vac roller. Thanks for all the ideas.
I put mine in the 2nd. way. It let's all the air out and you don't have all that puffiness and have to fight with it🤣🤭 Love it.❤️ Thank you for your videos!! Very helpful 🤗🌹
Good idea. You're welcome, i'm so glad you like them!
I use rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle to clean windows, mirrors etc."No streaks" dries instantly. Works perfectly
What kind of rag do you use.
Your toaster cleaning hack is good but here are 3 observations from an old school house cleaner. I) after you empty the tray, which I did know existed, empty and clean it. then put it back into the toaster so you are not cleaning off counter tops, and you can see what has come out of the toaster. 2) attach the adapter on the hair dryer to concentrate air flow, and run it longer on the cool setting then the hot. Finally try the dryer vent vacuum attachment to get out remaining crumbs. Then use the hair dryer method as a weekly maintenance. Keep up the Good Work! Cleanliness is next to Godliness.❤
Thank you for the tips! Hope you have a great week!
Rain-x like you use on a car windshield will treat a mirror too, and heating vinegar in the microwave also helps make the microwave easy to wipe out and helps with odors while you prep it for deodorizing the sink. A little tea tree oil in the alcohol for shoes helps to prevent foot fungus too.
Thank you for being so transparent. There are too many videos who show perfection but that’s not real life. I really appreciate you. For me It’s been such a shameful & guilt filed part of my life for so long. So now , in my 50’s, I’m learning how to do better & learn the new skill of decluttering & organizing. I’m a year & a half in & my helper encourages me when I think it’s not good enough. I even just cleaned up b4 she gets here in the morning. I’m still working on me, my anxiety & self esteem. I have a lot of help, which was hard to find without judgement. So I am so proud of you and thank you for sharing your story. I’m forever subscribed.
Thanks for sharing some of your journey and struggles. We all have struggles and guilt for different things and it’s important to have people around that won’t judge and understand what you are going through. Hang strong and keep pushing on! God loves you!
I'm laying in bed as I watch this. First off, I remember when these videos came out over a year ago and I Never realized how red her hair looked until she went back to brown! Also, our dishwasher is around 4 months old so when I wake up tomorrow I'll be checking our dishwasher filter for sure!
Yes it was very burgundy compared to now! Thanks for watching!
Something I find more efficient than vinegar is citric acid. It cheap, potent and doesn't have any smell. It comes in a powder like baking soda. You can mix it water in a container to spray your bathroom. You can use a teaspoon of powder in your kettle to get rid of tartar. I spray my toilet bowl. It's great to clean your broiler, anything in the kitchen. You should try it!
Love your video. Not sure why you chose to repeat a few things. The tips were great.
I saw a gentleman give the best hack for cleaning the inside glass on the stove door. If you open the door, there are screws on the top of the door when you open it that can be undone to do a better job.
I’ve heard that before, thanks for the tip
I enjoyed watching, great presentations, to actually show and explain everything!
You could try car window cleaning fluid. I believe they put something in that to help prevent fog-up on the inside of window screens.
Hi 👋 just vinegar and any dish soap inside a spray bottles it really works and it helps cleaning bathrooms and sinks and stoves just leave it on for couple minutes or more spot less! ✨💖
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this video. Especially because you mention your sensitivity to scents and smells. I also suffer from reactions to these as well. As I’ve gotten older, my reactions have become quite severe. So it’s extremely helpful when others make mention of this and what products they use. I will definitely be incorporating many of your hacks into my cleaning routine. Thank you for taking the time to make this compilation.
great tips. the Alcohol for the shoes... the spray bottle just use the spray nozzle on the alcohol bottle ... no need to pour it in a different bottle
