@@designedtothenines I also use the dissolving aspirin to gargle with if you have mouth ulcers, it sticks to the ulcer, reducing inflammation and helps with pain, they heal very quickly. X
If you get marker or ink on shoes (granddaughter did this😏) you can use rubbing alcohol to remove it... Also.. are you thinking of making a pillow?...instead of throwing the lint away...collect it from your dryer..it's clean, soft and smells so good!
Here's a tip: When you paint, you have a wonderful opportunity to give yourself a spa-level hair & skin conditioning while making it easy to remove paint from your hair & skin. Olive Oil. Rub olive oil generously into your hair before tying it up to control it. Next, rub oil on your skin anywhere that might become exposed during the painting. Work the oil into your cuticles, & don't forget to rub oil onto your face, neck & ears. Wash your hands to get most of the oil off the hands, dry them, then scratch a bar of soap, to fill the space under the nails. Now you're ready to paint! After painting, cleaning the brushes, & putting everything away, you can shower & shampoo as usual. The olive oil will have kept the paint from reaching your skin & hair, so will easily wash off. Meanwhile, the oil will have penetrated the skin & hair, making them soft & youthful. Now the room you painted looks good & so do YOU!
Olive oil is inflammatory. I use almond oil, it's lighter, and won't block your pores. I even use it to wrap my hair up under my garden hats. That way it's a hot oil treatment.
It has been awhile since I've seen someone with GENUINE joy. People tend to smile but you can see what's behind their eyes regardless. Thank you for showing me that joy is still attainable because if God gave it to you...I too can have it. I was starting to give up!!!! No one can fake that!
This really works with wax melts???? I am a wax melt junkie haha and I will love this idea!!!! Can you just put them in there and leave them there until you use them?
I work for a tile and flooring company. You have to be careful with the toilet bowl cleaner grout hack. It can eventually break down your grout. If you’re going to use this hack, I strongly recommend sealing your grout immediately as soon as your grout is dry. This protects your grout and keeps it washable with regular mopping for a long time. There are other grout cleaners that work similarly to the bleach cleaner but you should still seal it.
@@reginalol5324, there is also grout that has the sealant “built in” it. Several folks put it out now and you can find it at most if not all of the home improvement stores. Obviously, it would be used on installation. That’s we recommend for new installs.
You have the most beautiful smile and attitude that is infectiously positive! It makes me want to watch. Just a suggestion. My son is a dry waller. He taught me to fill a large hole in wall like that you should use drywall compound (the pink stuff is for small cracks.and shrinks quite a bit) and a 6" drywall knife(putty knife). Do not over fill hole. It's better to do 3 light coats that dont protrude proud of wall saving on sanding. The last coat fills the tiniest little dips when you spread from all directions.. Then use a sanding block when 3rd coat is totally dry. This method will save a ton of sanding and dust that ultimately gets all over the house.
Years ago when we were having our house built, I had a conversation with a coworker who had just moved into a new house. She told me she spent way too much time cleaning her light colored floor tile grout and that if she had it to do over, she would have ordered the flooring with dark grout. Fast forward 24 years and I have never had to worry about my very dark grout.
Thank you for sharing your hacks..I will be looking for the drill attachment to clean my cabinets!!! I have a hack.. the struggle of opening the crazy glue.. gorilla glue after it is opened and the top is glued shut..can be avoided by dipping the tip in Vaseline. It works like a charm..my glue opens right up every time!! Take care
I put Vaseline around tip of hot glue gun. It keeps the strings from forming! I also wipe Vaseline around lid of my crafting paints. Then paint won't dry around lid and be easy to open. Easy oven cleaner: put baking soda on floor of oven. Place bowl of white vinegar on rack. Let sit overnight. Fumes from vinegar loosens everything up and you wipe it down in the morning.
@@deborahleslie2730 It works like a charm..I did also start using just a little on my chalk paint lids too..since they seem to always get stuck shut for me too.. it works too..take care
I loooove home hacks. And these were amazing. I especially like the one to prevent bleeding when painting stripes. My mind is blown! One little hack I've used has to do with nailing anything into a wallpapered wall. If you cut a little upside down v-shape in the paper before you insert the nail you can avoid making a hole in the paper. Then if you want to remove your artwork you simply remove the nail and paste the paper back up in place.
There is a product called “Kiss Off” that I kept in my desk as an art teacher. I think it was originally used to get lipstick off of clothing. But it also has other uses. Your fans probably have more ideas than I do but one of the things we used it for was to remove permanent marker from clothing and other things made of fiber. It comes in a little cylindrical tube like a chapstick or lipgloss. I just love your videos, darling lady!
Wish I seen this a month ago had bought my granddaughter Lily a pair of name brand sneakers light pink mind you she is 3 years old, She used a permanent marker and I could not get it out and I ended up throwing them out. Thanks I will always look forward to using this if something is to happen again or with my new grandson. 😀
I just learned a hack that blew my mind. I have allergies so I use low streaking wet mop with the wet mopping cloths from Walmart (no scent/no bleach) and after I vacuum I run the wet mop over my carpet. It picks up the fine loose dust and superficial stains. This works so well in between your usual carpet cleaning.
You can now buy light bulbs that are battery operated and usb rechargeable! No need to have an electrical outlet near your lamp, just get a rechargeable light bulb. I wanted a lamp in the middle of my family room on a table that I had but there was no outlet. Light bulb to the rescue. It works great!
I have seen those and they are so cool. I can't wait to try them. I don't know if they'd work for my living room as I believe they have about 12 hours of usage... and my light fixtures are up about 9 feet high. but how cool for lamps where there is no outlet. I am definitely giving this a try!
I have 2 rechargable light bulbs that i purchaced from Aldis. They recharge when they are on. At dusk they come on when livingroom gets dark. Perfect for when im away from house.
@@getcrackin6778 what do u mean they recharge when they are on? Are u saying you dont ever have to recharge them? What is the name of these bulbs? Id love to buy a few
I've used liquid hair spray any number of time to remove ink stains. Works great! Also, for any rubber marks on floors from jogging shoes, use nail polish remover. I'm sure there are tons of others we all have, but you gave me a new one with the wall lights! I love that and think I'll have to mimic it for an upcoming project I have in mind! However, I'm not sure I understand how the cord behind the wall works. Do you have a more detailed description on any other video for an old woman like me? LOL Thanks, Natalie.... you're always so much fun to watch! If only more people were as good natured as you are, what a wonderful world we would have!
Ok so this is more of a hack for us ladies lol so I bought a bra on Amazon, I absolutely love it! It’s underwired, supportive, yet comfortable. Do you know how it is when you find one that fits you right doesn’t cut into you etc. You don’t want to search again. I am not one to return a bra for obvious reasons. My strap broke and it was the metal ring that attaches the strap to the cup. I washed it and even though I wash them in a mesh bag, somehow it broke in the washer. I didn’t really wanna sew it so I thought I fixed My Closet shelf with a huge zip tie and it’s held up for years so why not My Bra lol So I looped a zip tie through the holes and I don’t have to spend $20 on a new one.
I have a rule - if I find a bra I love I buy 3 more. I hate bra shopping and if you find one you like you can bet in the next 4 - 6 months you will never be able to find it again.
@Arnold Ziffle I try to remember not to use fabric softener in my delicates because I really only use it to reduce static cling caused by the dryer. I never put my delicates in the dryer so I’m only wasting fabric softener if I add it to their wash. Still, sometime I do it absentmindedly. But so far I haven’t had any damaged elastic. Over many years. Maybe a gazillion years, even. I’m old. ;0)
Worked for Guardsman almost 20 years. Happy to see you use a good product on your wood. We make wood tone markers as well as fabulous dust clothes & ones to remove water& heat marks. I put the dust clothes on my swifter to do my wood floors. I can turn it 4 different folds before washing it.
one of my first jobs in life was for a furniture company. i was trained to repair furniture. i loved Guardsman products, the markers and the colored wood-fill 'crayons'.........i think sets of those should be first gifts for every young person with a new home. i would love to see them marketed more widely. i love to be their demo-gal in fact. ha ha.
I used white out to cover the old white grout between my wall tiles and it has lasted now 5 years.. I then used it on the white grout between the floor tiles....still looks great there too. Takes time and you have to scrape off any excess but still looks great.
Great hacks! An additional hack for drywall patch. Wait until sparkle is about 80% dry and go over it with a damp sponge. It works every time and eliminates need for sanding! You can even use rough side of sponge after sparkle dries.
I was using a swiffer to get the dust off a wall I was using drywall mud on and to my great surprise the swiffer acted like sandpaper and took excess mud off the wall and didn't leave sanding ridges on the wall.
I bought the drill scrubber set when I first saw you demonstrate cleaning your cabinets. I use it mostly for cleaning my tile shower. It’s good for car upholstery too. I am totally using the tp roll hack! 🧻 Cords are such a pain. I will add a hack for removing sharpie.🖊 If it can go in the washing machine, wash in cold water with a quart of salt. Just regular old table salt.
I painted my kitchen floor grout with chalk paint, but it only lasted a few years with mopping and it sort of bled onto the tiles gradually. Then I used concrete paint with a built-in sealer (left over from my lanai) and it's been gorgeous and withstands weekly cleanings wonderfully.
Just use the “Awesome” yellow spray from dollar store. Spray leave on for 5 minutes and wipe clean, looks like new again. So much more easier and faster!
Denture tabs in water for grout worked for me. Just plop the tabs in water and pour onto the grout, let it sit for as long as you want (whatever works) then mop it up. Denture tabs are also great for cleaning flower vases that you can't quite get to the bottom of to clean well.
OMG!!! My mother who passed last year has been doing the toilet paper roll hack for ever!! 🥰 She would even use contact paper and wrap cardboard boxes and make cute storage containers. 💗 😊
My hack is using cheap shaving cream to clean upholstery. My husband used to lay the Sunday paper on the light colored foot stool. I just use the shaving cream with a clean cloth and wiped it clean.
I have been using Windex on the carpet in my vehicles for years! When I get a new car, I color test it first, but have had no issues. It get's out stubborn stains and leaves the carpet looking like it's been professionally cleaned.
@Dorcas Tackmeir I've used Windex on practically everything for years. Seat covers, headliners, visors, carpets, and that's just the car! You'll be amazed at the handy uses inside the home.
My iron cord was making me crazy! Then I used a long claw-type hair clip.(from when I had long hair) You can find the big ones for a dollar at the swap meet or even sometimes at dollar tree. I clip the whole folded chord to the iron handle. I use the small ones to keep the measuring tape together in my sewing kit, and I also keep a tape in my kitchen junk drawer. I use one while traveling to hold the cord on my hair tools, Dual-purpose because I always need a hair clip to wash my face, and do make-up at the hotel.
Love all the tips! Sometimes a simple little thing can make life so much easier. I have been using the toilet paper roll for cords for years, and yes, I cover them with sticky vinyl too. I love the nod to "put some windex on it" ;-) Thanks for sharing. One hack I recently saw was to use air dry clay in your taper candle sticks to make them the right size to hold the taper candles. I've used twisted masking tape in the past but this is better. Ciao!
My 90 year old mom taught me that way back when....haven't found anything better yet😂 When I was just married and my super clean and organized MIL was helping me bake she would always throw them away wondering what they were doing in the kitchen😄good thing there were plenty more where that came from
Use the “drill scrubber” on the tile 😆 when you are done with the cabinets. Windex is good, but alcohol will loosen sticky stuff and it won’t harm your carpet or cloth
I loved the hack for the grout! I have a hack that was a accident last week! My sister accidentally broke a nail polish on my wood floors, we used a Mr clean magic eraser!! Those are great for marker or scuffs on the wall as well(or anything, they're amazing!) Thanks for sharing!
@@lindabrown4992 Yep, people don’t realize it’s just really fine sandpaper - a friend actually rubbed a hole in her white leather sneakers trying to clean off the scuffs! And it’ll rub paint right off the wall or furniture if not used gently.
So those were all pretty cool I’ve seen a lot of them. On the magic marker or the sharpie anything but your carpet or fabric use the Windex or alcohol as you suggested but use a magic sponge and those blue ones by Mr. clean works great especially on walls.
I knew about the painting the base color over tape when painting stripes, but I never thought about doing it with a stencil, but gosh does that make sense. I'll soon be stenciling the ceiling in our kitchen so this was perfect timing. Thank you so much NataLee!
@@gtattsUS I've painted strips in our Ladies' Parlor before so I can't believe I didn't think about that trick for stenciling. I'm so happy NataLee mentioned stencils in this video. It'll really make my job easier. Especially since I'll be working on a ceiling. This will keep me from having to do touch ups! It's going to be hard enough on my neck.
the hack with placing the wood within the wall to give support for the patch of sheet rock... there isn't always room for a hand to hold that support wood in place so if you put a screw in the center of the wood then that temporary screw can be used to slip the wood into the wall and then pull on the screw to hold the wood close to the back of the wall while screwing it securely from the front...once the 2 screws are in place back out the temporary screw and continue on.
Grout cleaner - Just buy a bottle of specific alkaline grout cleaner at the hardware store. The blue dye in toilet cleaner can stain lighter grout. Worked for Stanley Steemer for 7yrs and have seen people ruin light color floors/shower pans using colored cleaners or bright color shampoo. For permanent marker, if Windex doesn't work, use hand sanitizer that has ethanol/ethyl alcohol on the label. Different markers use different solvents, Sharpie specifically uses ethanol.
I love a good hack! You had so many awesome ones. My favorites were the toilet bowl grout cleaner and the brush to clean the cabinets! Thanks for sharing your tips!💕
I have a question. I saw on another comment that after cleaning the grout you then have to reseal the grout. Is that true? If so can you talk about that a little more? I have zero experience in that area.
Please stop recommending the toilet cleaner for grout hack. Tile experts/companies all advise not to do that. It damages the grout and tile over time. Unfortunately, this hack keeps popping up when it's not a good one. It may do a decent job bleaching out the stains, but it is very harsh and causes damage in the long run.
OMG What a good time I had watching this! I knew about most of these because, although I'm an artist and designer like you are, I went to art school and spent a lot of time waiting on tables, tending bar, and---cleaning houses! I didn't know about the hack using toilet cleaner to refresh grout. But surely you know the little drill attachments can be used for that , too. You are so thorough, and your work ethic is so amazing! Your artistic eye makes sure everything looks as good as new. Loved the decorated toilet roll. I store my extention cords that way too
This was all very helpful. This is the first video of yours I’ve ever watched. Subscribed!!! I have the cleaning attachments for the drill and the only problem is that it flings soap and water everywhere!!! You have to set it on low speed so it doesn’t do that but it’s hard to control. I do use them on the grout though!!!
This was one of the most informative videos! Thank you!! I have been doing the paint hack for years and it works like a charm. The extra step is so worth it. Back in 2007, I painted colored squares on an accent wall in my kitchen and have loved it for all these years (it's not for everyones taste, but it's uniqueness suits mine). Using the hack, I had no bleed through. We are currently in the midst of redecorating, so it will be covered up soon with wallpaper, but I sure enjoyed it all these years.
@@lauriepayseur5897 The links for everything I used is in the description box below the video and if you want to watch the full original video, I would highly recommend it.💕
I've started using drill brushes and drill pads (the velcro kind) on pretty much everything. My sink, my countertops, my silver. I bought an assortment of sponges, brushes and buffers on Ali and even did my brass the other day.
Totally impressed that your children have chores. So many do not anymore. I have a niece who picked up a toilet bowl brush and had NO CLUE what it was for. This happened at her BRIDAL SHOWER!!!!!!!
I used your hack with using the drill brushes to clean the cabinets and it was amazing. It still took a long time because we have so any cabinets, but imagine what it would have been like without them! I’d still be scrubbing! ~ Linda
I love a good hack also. I just bought brushes similar to the ones you used to clean the cupboards. I used them on my microfiber living room chairs with rubbing alcohol to clean them. Worked like a charm.
Love love the lighting hack. We are doing a complete renovation of our basement family room, 3 piece bathroom and laundry room. This hack is going to floor my husband. He said I wouldn't be able to have the lighting I wanted. Oh yes I will. Thanks so much this video came to my rescue.
This was the best video!💕. I’ve used that same Conair defuzzer for years! Makes everything from clothes, sweaters, to furniture look new again! I’ll definitely will be trying the toilet roll trick and grout cleaner hack! 🇨🇦
Ok, I did the grout painting trick about two years ago and it has held up. I used the toilet bowl cleaner, professional cleaners, everything short of replacing the grout and nothing worked. I have over scrubbed the painted grout in one area under my son’s high chair but all I had to do was touch up the paint with the grout pen I keep in my kitchen. I am so happy with the grout pen that I’m not going to bother regrouping my kitchen. I think in order to make the grout pen more effective you need to really clean it first so that no oils or residue stop the paint from sticking, no different that painting any other surface.
In Terms of scrubbing the grout with toilet cleaner, mine is so strong, ist ruins the tile sealing. You might want to use the drill brushes you used to Clean your kitchen cabinets. Im pretty sure that would make cleaning much easier. By the way, I am watching your Videos in Germany. Thank you for all your great videos and showing us women that Powertools make life a lot easier.
Love all your hacks! 1st up on my list are the tiles & grout cleaning project!! #2 are my cabinets!!! Thank you so much for all your amazing hacks! You are so creative & you are helping so many of us!!! Keep up all your wonderful DIY’s and cleaning/remodeling!! Everything you do are so creative and so helpful!! Many thanks to you my friend!! 💖 You always have a friend in Texas, Terri (Many blessings to you!! )
I had to laugh when you showed the toilet roll for chords. A year ago I did the same thing and guess what? I used the very same contact paper! Yup, we're twins.
I appreciate that you used things you already had. Your previous home was beautifully styled. Why not reuse? I love everything, especially the large artwork and iron work over the bedside tables . ❤
I do my iron cord, just like you, roll it and stick it through the handle. 😂 Thank you, for making a mess, on some of these, and, then, cleaning them for us. 😊
I’ve been doing this on furniture wood clocks cabinets dressers mirrors picture frames you name it for decades. Magic marker sharpie to cover up things and furniture and it works Amazingly well! Great hack! My fave besides the toilet bowl cleaner on tile grouted floors, I’ve been using this for decades as well! It also works great in porcelain sinks! Seriously better than a bleach cleaner. 💥
I love all of these home hacks! My favorite is the painting stripes hack. Genius!!! Please don't apologize for your pet making an appearance in your videos. I love it when they photobomb videos 😆
Always love to learn about new hacks. Thank you! I loved the one about the grout. I plan on trying that. I used soap and water on mine when I did them but yours turned out amazing!
All these hacks are fantastic, I love the toilet paper one and the drill for the cabinets, I hate my cabinets they are pine would and just q straight door and very very old, we rent so I have cleaned and scrubbed but they still look awful. I am going to paint them but I have to get them clean first, so hopefully this does the trick. Who ever lived here before never touched them. So thank you so much.
If you are going to paint, use Krud Kutter degreaser to clean you cabinets. You can clean with this product and then paint. No rinsing is needed. It is a powerful cleaner and will remove paint. So be careful what else you use it on. But cleaning wood cabinets to prepare for painting is a great use for Krud Kutter. You can get it at places like Home Depot.
I did some recently. Removed all the hardware (you can also tape it off.) Washed down first with Dawn and warm water. Rinsed well. Sanded lightly to give the primer something to adhere to. Used killz primer so the weird yellow wood stain wouldn't bleed through, then Behr chalk paint, I used two coats of white. Sealed with min wax poly acrylic (not the polyurethane.) Let everything dry for a day or two between coats and sanded between coats with 120 grade sandpaper as necessary to get rid of drips or obvious brush strokes. Came out great. Pro tip- keep all your removed hardware together in a gallon zip lock bag. Good luck!
Hi Natalie, it looks amazing. I did the same to our bathroom shower tiles and gave my arms a workout but I found an even better way to save time and most of all your poor arms. I recently bought a 3pk of different brush attachments for my drill, I saw this on a RUclips hack not long ago and thought gotta give this a go. Our local home centre Bunnings had them. I tried them out the other day and I can't tell you how amazing they turned out. Didn't scratch the tiles did them in half the time, grout has never looked so clean even my Hubby noticed and my arms didn't ache lol. I didn't use toilet cleaner just a shower and bathroom multi purpose cleaner. Loving your videos as always. Stay safe and blessed. Hugs from Australia xx
Oh wow!!! Moving (hopefully) soon into a home that has dan a disabled person in it for years. It's all fine, apart from the kitchen (tiled floors and walls from floor to ceiling) is in need of a REALLY good clean, so, thank you, I've just ordered the brush kit for the cupboards and possibly floor tiles too! Yay!!!!!!!
Wow! Those brushes that attached to the drill! I followed the link and this looks like a great deal! Loads of brushes and many uses. Thank you! And by the way, these are all great hacks! The only one that I had seen before was the toilet cleaner for grout.
Another Sharpie hack: Fix chipped dishes with a closely matching colored Sharpie. This is best for decorative items but also works on everyday dishes, you just need to refresh it often. Just don't use it where food touches it but chips are usually in the rim so you should be safe. (ps, I designed and painted dinnerware for 30 years...this works! We had customers calling all the time for replacements of their one-of-a-kind piece which were not available!)
Even used Milliput? It is two part epoxy clay great for repairing chipped porcelain and ceramics. You can shape it, mold it, add water to thin it. It dries like stone, even underwater, then can be sanded, painted, drilled. Fixes chipped sinks, tubs, tiles, and ceramic cook tops too. Love the stuff. Some guy successfully plugged his boat with it in a storm out in the middle of the Atlantic.
wow I hear mix comments about not using toilet cleaner after I cleaned all my grout in my house and it worked . now I have clean grout. After using a brush on a mop stick than I wipe with paper towel and than mop the floor and I had no mess. and it was quick thank you
I also use Sharpies on my boots/shoes etc. Also if you are ever in a jam car interior detailer cleans and shines boots really well. Please be sure to test in inconspicuous area first but since your vehicle dash/console is vinyl and plastics it's safe for most materials in that area. It really makes them shine.
Wow!!! I can't believe how well that Lysol toilet bowl cleaner made the grout look brand new! Amazing!😁 Dollee is just so adorable! ❤ You asked previously how much my Razzle Dazzle ( My Cockapoo) weighed...he was just weighed on Tuesday. He weighs 16 1/2 lbs. He will not get any bigger than that. Well, between 16lbs. & 18 lbs. I love the hack for cleaning cabinets! Awesome! I will definitely going to try that!!! I have white cabinets...what cleaner did you use? As always, thank you for sharing your hacks with us! Stay safe, healthy and positive! God bless you and your family! 🙏❤🇺🇸😊
Another ink or indelible ink remover is to take baby wipes and a bottle of alcohol, preferably a spray bottle. Spray the ink stain with alcohol so that it is rather wet, then spray the baby wipe with alcohol. keep using baby wipes and alcohol to rub at the area and you will find that indelible or regular ink will be removed. Now this may take several go rounds with the alcohol and the baby wipes but this too will get the job done. I am not exactly sure why this works better than just hairspray or just alcohol, but I think something in the baby wipe mixes with alcohol and the reaction results in a ink remover product that works rather quickly regardless of how fresh or old the ink stain is. That said, there are times when I am out of baby wipes and or alcohol and it's good to know I can always go under the sink and grab that Windex!
Great video, very different from what you usually do, loved it!! My favorite hacks are the toilet cleaner on the grout and how to hide cables using the toilet paper 🧻. Cool!!
There were some great hacks in this video. Plus I liked that almost all your product links were so well rated. Sometimes I click on links only to find 2.5 or 3 star ratings, which is quite frustrating. Will definitely be purchasing some of these, specifically the brush cleaning bundle and the fabric shaver. Thank you!
Forgot to add my hack when I asked about the paint. If you don’t have a stud finder, use a super strong magnet and run it up and down along the wall. The screws in the studs will be detected by the magnet.
After you locate any one of your studs, either by using a stud finder or any other method, you can simply measure 16” from that point (vertically of course), and your next stud should be exactly there, assuming your home was built to code. A 16” spacing for construction is a standard and code requirement. Good luck
I love all of these. #4 , the wall stripes, I have been doing for at least 20 years. It is my favorite of all time, because I paint a lot. I tell everyone to do this and I'm so happy you did this one. I will have less people to tell now. Thank you for your great ideas always.

Use some dissolving aspirin through your white washing, this will brighten the whites. Love your channel thank you. X
@@jasmineteehee3612 Wow! I’ve never heard of that before that’s awesome.💕
@@designedtothenines I also use the dissolving aspirin to gargle with if you have mouth ulcers, it sticks to the ulcer, reducing inflammation and helps with pain, they heal very quickly. X
@@jasmineteehee3612 wow! I never knew aspirin was so handy.
If you get marker or ink on shoes (granddaughter did this😏) you can use rubbing alcohol to remove it... Also.. are you thinking of making a pillow?...instead of throwing the lint away...collect it from your dryer..it's clean, soft and smells so good!
Here's a tip:
When you paint, you have a wonderful opportunity to give yourself a spa-level hair & skin conditioning while making it easy to remove paint from your hair & skin.
Olive Oil.
Rub olive oil generously into your hair before tying it up to control it. Next, rub oil on your skin anywhere that might become exposed during the painting. Work the oil into your cuticles, & don't forget to rub oil onto your face, neck & ears. Wash your hands to get most of the oil off the hands, dry them, then scratch a bar of soap, to fill the space under the nails.
Now you're ready to paint!
After painting, cleaning the brushes, & putting everything away, you can shower & shampoo as usual. The olive oil will have kept the paint from reaching your skin & hair, so will easily wash off. Meanwhile, the oil will have penetrated the skin & hair, making them soft & youthful. Now the room you painted looks good & so do YOU!
Might be a good idea to wear gloves when using toilet bowl cleaner for grout...if caustic it can severely burn your hands....
Olive oil is inflammatory. I use almond oil, it's lighter, and won't block your pores. I even use it to wrap my hair up under my garden hats. That way it's a hot oil treatment.
It has been awhile since I've seen someone with GENUINE joy. People tend to smile but you can see what's behind their eyes regardless. Thank you for showing me that joy is still attainable because if God gave it to you...I too can have it. I was starting to give up!!!! No one can fake that!
You are the very sweetest! Thank you!!!
I love a good hack too. My favorite is putting candles and wax melts in the freezer for a hour before using and they burn slower and last longer.
Love that! I haven't heard of that before! Thank you.
@@designedtothenines my grandmother shared it and a few other hacks with me before she passed away in 2004. You're welcome.
@@designedtothenines is hohiho
Omg, what a great tip!
This really works with wax melts???? I am a wax melt junkie haha and I will love this idea!!!! Can you just put them in there and leave them there until you use them?
I work for a tile and flooring company. You have to be careful with the toilet bowl cleaner grout hack. It can eventually break down your grout. If you’re going to use this hack, I strongly recommend sealing your grout immediately as soon as your grout is dry. This protects your grout and keeps it washable with regular mopping for a long time. There are other grout cleaners that work similarly to the bleach cleaner but you should still seal it.
Plus if you seal it, it doesn’t get near as dirty! 😉
That’s a good tip!
How do you seal it?
@@amystrickland6876 Definitely stays cleaner longer.
@@reginalol5324, there is also grout that has the sealant “built in” it. Several folks put it out now and you can find it at most if not all of the home improvement stores. Obviously, it would be used on installation. That’s we recommend for new installs.
You have the most beautiful smile and attitude that is infectiously positive! It makes me want to watch. Just a suggestion. My son is a dry waller. He taught me to fill a large hole in wall like that you should use drywall compound (the pink stuff is for small cracks.and shrinks quite a bit) and a 6" drywall knife(putty knife). Do not over fill hole. It's better to do 3 light coats that dont protrude proud of wall saving on sanding. The last coat fills the tiniest little dips when you spread from all directions.. Then use a sanding block when 3rd coat is totally dry. This method will save a ton of sanding and dust that ultimately gets all over the house.
Sound advice! I love it! Thank you for sharing!
@@designedtothenines you're very welcome.🙂
Thank you! Drywall dust is so unforgiving to electrical gadgets! 😵💫
Years ago when we were having our house built, I had a conversation with a coworker who had just moved into a new house. She told me she spent way too much time cleaning her light colored floor tile grout and that if she had it to do over, she would have ordered the flooring with dark grout. Fast forward 24 years and I have never had to worry about my very dark grout.
Thank you for sharing your hacks..I will be looking for the drill attachment to clean my cabinets!!! I have a hack.. the struggle of opening the crazy glue.. gorilla glue after it is opened and the top is glued shut..can be avoided by dipping the tip in Vaseline. It works like a charm..my glue opens right up every time!! Take care
Great idea!! That is an awesome idea! I'm totally going to try this. There's a link in my description box for the attachments. =)
I put Vaseline around tip of hot glue gun. It keeps the strings from forming! I also wipe Vaseline around lid of my crafting paints. Then paint won't dry around lid and be easy to open. Easy oven cleaner: put baking soda on floor of oven. Place bowl of white vinegar on rack. Let sit overnight. Fumes from vinegar loosens everything up and you wipe it down in the morning.
Hi, thanks. This is a very useful hack.
Thank you...this I am going to try.
@@deborahleslie2730 It works like a charm..I did also start using just a little on my chalk paint lids too..since they seem to always get stuck shut for me too.. it works too..take care
I loooove home hacks. And these were amazing. I especially like the one to prevent bleeding when painting stripes. My mind is blown! One little hack I've used has to do with nailing anything into a wallpapered wall. If you cut a little upside down v-shape in the paper before you insert the nail you can avoid making a hole in the paper. Then if you want to remove your artwork you simply remove the nail and paste the paper back up in place.
That hack is genius!! Love it! Thank you for sharing it with me!
Great hack! I am about to hang wallpaper on an accent wall in my kitchen, so this hack came just in time!! Thank you!
Awesome hack, thanx ✌❤
YESSS! I have a painting project coming up at home and this will help so much. Thank you!!!
There is a product called “Kiss Off” that I kept in my desk as an art teacher. I think it was originally used to get lipstick off of clothing. But it also has other uses. Your fans probably have more ideas than I do but one of the things we used it for was to remove permanent marker from clothing and other things made of fiber. It comes in a little cylindrical tube like a chapstick or lipgloss.
I just love your videos, darling lady!
Wish I seen this a month ago had bought my granddaughter Lily a pair of name brand sneakers light pink mind you she is 3 years old, She used a permanent marker and I could not get it out and I ended up throwing them out. Thanks I will always look forward to using this if something is to happen again or with my new grandson. 😀
I just learned a hack that blew my mind. I have allergies so I use low streaking wet mop with the wet mopping cloths from Walmart (no scent/no bleach) and after I vacuum I run the wet mop over my carpet. It picks up the fine loose dust and superficial stains. This works so well in between your usual carpet cleaning.
You can now buy light bulbs that are battery operated and usb rechargeable! No need to have an electrical outlet near your lamp, just get a rechargeable light bulb. I wanted a lamp in the middle of my family room on a table that I had but there was no outlet. Light bulb to the rescue. It works great!
I have seen those and they are so cool. I can't wait to try them. I don't know if they'd work for my living room as I believe they have about 12 hours of usage... and my light fixtures are up about 9 feet high. but how cool for lamps where there is no outlet. I am definitely giving this a try!
Are they battery hogs needing frequent battery replacement?
I have 2 rechargable light bulbs that i purchaced from Aldis. They recharge when they are on. At dusk they come on when livingroom gets dark. Perfect for when im away from house.
@@getcrackin6778 what do u mean they recharge when they are on? Are u saying you dont ever have to recharge them? What is the name of these bulbs? Id love to buy a few
I’ll check them out. Thanks! We appreciate you.
I've used liquid hair spray any number of time to remove ink stains. Works great! Also, for any rubber marks on floors from jogging shoes, use nail polish remover. I'm sure there are tons of others we all have, but you gave me a new one with the wall lights! I love that and think I'll have to mimic it for an upcoming project I have in mind! However, I'm not sure I understand how the cord behind the wall works. Do you have a more detailed description on any other video for an old woman like me? LOL Thanks, Natalie.... you're always so much fun to watch! If only more people were as good natured as you are, what a wonderful world we would have!
An eraser also removes black heel marks on floor. No damage
I swear there is nothing you can’t do!! What an inspiration And what fun you always make it!!!!!
You are so sweet! Thank you Melinda!
Could not have said it better myself!
🤣👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Ok so this is more of a hack for us ladies lol so I bought a bra on Amazon, I absolutely love it! It’s underwired, supportive, yet comfortable. Do you know how it is when you find one that fits you right doesn’t cut into you etc. You don’t want to search again. I am not one to return a bra for obvious reasons. My strap broke and it was the metal ring that attaches the strap to the cup. I washed it and even though I wash them in a mesh bag, somehow it broke in the washer. I didn’t really wanna sew it so I thought I fixed My Closet shelf with a huge zip tie and it’s held up for years so why not My Bra lol So I looped a zip tie through the holes and I don’t have to spend $20 on a new one.
I have a rule - if I find a bra I love I buy 3 more. I hate bra shopping and if you find one you like you can bet in the next 4 - 6 months you will never be able to find it again.
@Arnold Ziffle I try to remember not to use fabric softener in my delicates because I really only use it to reduce static cling caused by the dryer. I never put my delicates in the dryer so I’m only wasting fabric softener if I add it to their wash. Still, sometime I do it absentmindedly. But so far I haven’t had any damaged elastic. Over many years. Maybe a gazillion years, even. I’m old. ;0)
I use the rings from a key ring
Worked for Guardsman almost 20 years. Happy to see you use a good product on your wood. We make wood tone markers as well as fabulous dust clothes & ones to remove water& heat marks. I put the dust clothes on my swifter to do my wood floors. I can turn it 4 different folds before washing it.
one of my first jobs in life was for a furniture company. i was trained to repair furniture. i loved Guardsman products, the markers and the colored wood-fill 'crayons'.........i think sets of those should be first gifts for every young person with a new home. i would love to see them marketed more widely. i love to be their demo-gal in fact. ha ha.
I used white out to cover the old white grout between my wall tiles and it has lasted now 5 years.. I then used it on the white grout between the floor tiles....still looks great there too. Takes time and you have to scrape off any excess but still looks great.
Great hacks! An additional hack for drywall patch. Wait until sparkle is about 80% dry and go over it with a damp sponge. It works every time and eliminates need for sanding! You can even use rough side of sponge after sparkle dries.
Thank you for the additional drywall hack.
I was using a swiffer to get the dust off a wall I was using drywall mud on and to my great surprise the swiffer acted like sandpaper and took excess mud off the wall and didn't leave sanding ridges on the wall.
Spackle
@@kikim8402 I am going to call it sparkle from now on :-)
don't ya just love auto-correct!!
LOVE that you mentioned your sons can clean the grout for you! More kids should have chores…bravo
I bought the drill scrubber set when I first saw you demonstrate cleaning your cabinets. I use it mostly for cleaning my tile shower. It’s good for car upholstery too.
I am totally using the tp roll hack! 🧻 Cords are such a pain.
I will add a hack for removing sharpie.🖊 If it can go in the washing machine, wash in cold water with a quart of salt. Just regular old table salt.
I hadn’t heard this hack great suggestion!!!
Deirdre, Where did you buy the scrubber set?
I painted my kitchen floor grout with chalk paint, but it only lasted a few years with mopping and it sort of bled onto the tiles gradually. Then I used concrete paint with a built-in sealer (left over from my lanai) and it's been gorgeous and withstands weekly cleanings wonderfully.
Just use the “Awesome” yellow spray from dollar store. Spray leave on for 5 minutes and wipe clean, looks like new again. So much more easier and faster!
Denture tabs in water for grout worked for me. Just plop the tabs in water and pour onto the grout, let it sit for as long as you want (whatever works) then mop it up. Denture tabs are also great for cleaning flower vases that you can't quite get to the bottom of to clean well.
All of these were great! Definitely trying the tools for my drill and attacking my cabinets, omgosh Natalie...I seriously needed that one🙏🙌
Clever lady, lovely lady! It's always fun and instructive to watch your videos.
OMG!!! My mother who passed last year has been doing the toilet paper roll hack for ever!! 🥰 She would even use contact paper and wrap cardboard boxes and make cute storage containers. 💗 😊
My hack is using cheap shaving cream to clean upholstery. My husband used to lay the Sunday paper on the light colored foot stool. I just use the shaving cream with a clean cloth and wiped it clean.
Thanks for sharing!! That's a great hack.
I have been using Windex on the carpet in my vehicles for years! When I get a new car, I color test it first, but have had no issues. It get's out stubborn stains and leaves the carpet looking like it's been professionally cleaned.
Becky, have you ever tried it on the car seats? Mine have salt stains from my dog's feet and carpet cleaner doesn't even touch it!
@Dorcas Tackmeir I've used Windex on practically everything for years. Seat covers, headliners, visors, carpets, and that's just the car! You'll be amazed at the handy uses inside the home.
It's just the AMMONIA in it! JUST use CLEAR AMMONIA, A LOT CHEAPER!!!
My iron cord was making me crazy! Then I used a long claw-type hair clip.(from when I had long hair) You can find the big ones for a dollar at the swap meet or even sometimes at dollar tree. I clip the whole folded chord to the iron handle. I use the small ones to keep the measuring tape together in my sewing kit, and I also keep a tape in my kitchen junk drawer. I use one while traveling to hold the cord on my hair tools, Dual-purpose because I always need a hair clip to wash my face, and do make-up at the hotel.
are you talking about those big banana clips for lots of hair that were so popular in the 80s/90s? what a great idea!
I used that hack on my cabinets and cleaned them with a brush and my drill. My husband thought I was crazy!! But it worked and made it easier for me!!
Love all the tips! Sometimes a simple little thing can make life so much easier. I have been using the toilet paper roll for cords for years, and yes, I cover them with sticky vinyl too. I love the nod to "put some windex on it" ;-) Thanks for sharing. One hack I recently saw was to use air dry clay in your taper candle sticks to make them the right size to hold the taper candles. I've used twisted masking tape in the past but this is better. Ciao!
Or put sticky tack in the bottom of candle holder
I use the 'cord storage' all the time. Especially for Christmas wires and extension cords.
I do too.
My 90 year old mom taught me that way back when....haven't found anything better yet😂
When I was just married and my super clean and organized MIL was helping me bake she would always throw them away wondering what they were doing in the kitchen😄good thing there were plenty more where that came from
Use the “drill scrubber” on the tile 😆 when you are done with the cabinets. Windex is good, but alcohol will loosen sticky stuff and it won’t harm your carpet or cloth
I loved the hack for the grout! I have a hack that was a accident last week! My sister accidentally broke a nail polish on my wood floors, we used a Mr clean magic eraser!! Those are great for marker or scuffs on the wall as well(or anything, they're amazing!) Thanks for sharing!
Love magic erasers!! They have saved me so many times! Thanks for sharing!
@@designedtothenines Did you not have problems with the paint rubbing off. I did!
Pour sugar on the nail polish it clumps up and you can sweep it up
@@lindabrown4992 Yep, people don’t realize it’s just really fine sandpaper - a friend actually rubbed a hole in her white leather sneakers trying to clean off the scuffs! And it’ll rub paint right off the wall or furniture if not used gently.
@@eurekamarijka Yes! Yes! Yes! I've taken paint off my kitchen walls and kitchen cupboards they look terrible now!
I use a tsp of powder tide to clean all kinds of flooring and I also use the recipe to clean my cabinets. Love this recipe.
So those were all pretty cool I’ve seen a lot of them. On the magic marker or the sharpie anything but your carpet or fabric use the Windex or alcohol as you suggested but use a magic sponge and those blue ones by Mr. clean works great especially on walls.
Great hacks!! I lightly brush sandpaper over the pilling on sweaters. Works awesome!
I knew about the painting the base color over tape when painting stripes, but I never thought about doing it with a stencil, but gosh does that make sense. I'll soon be stenciling the ceiling in our kitchen so this was perfect timing. Thank you so much NataLee!
I know, #4 is fantastic!
@@gtattsUS I've painted strips in our Ladies' Parlor before so I can't believe I didn't think about that trick for stenciling. I'm so happy NataLee mentioned stencils in this video. It'll really make my job easier. Especially since I'll be working on a ceiling. This will keep me from having to do touch ups! It's going to be hard enough on my neck.
the hack with placing the wood within the wall to give support for the patch of sheet rock... there isn't always room for a hand to hold that support wood in place so if you put a screw in the center of the wood then that temporary screw can be used to slip the wood into the wall and then pull on the screw to hold the wood close to the back of the wall while screwing it securely from the front...once the 2 screws are in place back out the temporary screw and continue on.
That toilet paper roll hack for cords is genius! We always save them for my son to do art projects.
So glad to help!
@@designedtothenines I'm a crafter so I make fabric straps with velcro or snaps. Your idea is so much cheaper and faster....
Grout cleaner - Just buy a bottle of specific alkaline grout cleaner at the hardware store. The blue dye in toilet cleaner can stain lighter grout. Worked for Stanley Steemer for 7yrs and have seen people ruin light color floors/shower pans using colored cleaners or bright color shampoo.
For permanent marker, if Windex doesn't work, use hand sanitizer that has ethanol/ethyl alcohol on the label. Different markers use different solvents, Sharpie specifically uses ethanol.
I love a good hack! You had so many awesome ones. My favorites were the toilet bowl grout cleaner and the brush to clean the cabinets! Thanks for sharing your tips!💕
Can't wait to have the boys finish out the grout for me! LOL. They're thrilled. Maybe I'll let them borrow the drill attachments. 🙉
I have a question. I saw on another comment that after cleaning the grout you then have to reseal the grout. Is that true? If so can you talk about that a little more? I have zero experience in that area.
Please stop recommending the toilet cleaner for grout hack. Tile experts/companies all advise not to do that. It damages the grout and tile over time. Unfortunately, this hack keeps popping up when it's not a good one. It may do a decent job bleaching out the stains, but it is very harsh and causes damage in the long run.
Bumping out the wall for lighting is fantastic!! Thank you!
OMG What a good time I had watching this! I knew about most of these because, although I'm an artist and designer like you are, I went to art school and spent a lot of time waiting on tables, tending bar, and---cleaning houses! I didn't know about the hack using toilet cleaner to refresh grout. But surely you know the little drill attachments can be used for that , too. You are so thorough, and your work ethic is so amazing! Your artistic eye makes sure everything looks as good as new. Loved the decorated toilet roll. I store my extention cords that way too
You are so sweet! Thank you so much 🥰
This was all very helpful. This is the first video of yours I’ve ever watched. Subscribed!!! I have the cleaning attachments for the drill and the only problem is that it flings soap and water everywhere!!! You have to set it on low speed so it doesn’t do that but it’s hard to control. I do use them on the grout though!!!
This was one of the most informative videos! Thank you!! I have been doing the paint hack for years and it works like a charm. The extra step is so worth it. Back in 2007, I painted colored squares on an accent wall in my kitchen and have loved it for all these years (it's not for everyones taste, but it's uniqueness suits mine). Using the hack, I had no bleed through. We are currently in the midst of redecorating, so it will be covered up soon with wallpaper, but I sure enjoyed it all these years.
The remote plug is Genius!!
All the hacks were great. I'm getting the brush for my drill for cleaning my cabinets. Will make that daunting chore not so bad. Thanks for sharing
You got this!
@@designedtothenines what degreaser did you you & what cabinet cream did you use after the degreaser?
@@lauriepayseur5897 The links for everything I used is in the description box below the video and if you want to watch the full original video, I would highly recommend it.💕
I use the drill bush on my shower and tub!
I've started using drill brushes and drill pads (the velcro kind) on pretty much everything. My sink, my countertops, my silver. I bought an assortment of sponges, brushes and buffers on Ali and even did my brass the other day.
Totally impressed that your children have chores. So many do not anymore. I have a niece who picked up a toilet bowl brush and had NO CLUE what it was for. This happened at her BRIDAL SHOWER!!!!!!!
I used your hack with using the drill brushes to clean the cabinets and it was amazing. It still took a long time because we have so any cabinets, but imagine what it would have been like without them! I’d still be scrubbing! ~ Linda
Great to hear! I am so glad that saved you a lot of work. THanks!
I asked for a drill and those brushes for my birthday. Life changing 😊
Where do you find them? Never seen them
I love a good hack also. I just bought brushes similar to the ones you used to clean the cupboards. I used them on my microfiber living room chairs with rubbing alcohol to clean them. Worked like a charm.
Love love the lighting hack. We are doing a complete renovation of our basement family room, 3 piece bathroom and laundry room. This hack is going to floor my husband. He said I wouldn't be able to have the lighting I wanted. Oh yes I will. Thanks so much this video came to my rescue.
love your kitchen cabinet knobs and drawer pulls.
This was the best video!💕. I’ve used that same Conair defuzzer for years! Makes everything from clothes, sweaters, to furniture look new again! I’ll definitely will be trying the toilet roll trick and grout cleaner hack! 🇨🇦
Ok, I did the grout painting trick about two years ago and it has held up. I used the toilet bowl cleaner, professional cleaners, everything short of replacing the grout and nothing worked. I have over scrubbed the painted grout in one area under my son’s high chair but all I had to do was touch up the paint with the grout pen I keep in my kitchen. I am so happy with the grout pen that I’m not going to bother regrouping my kitchen. I think in order to make the grout pen more effective you need to really clean it first so that no oils or residue stop the paint from sticking, no different that painting any other surface.
Thanks for sharing your puppy. Adorable!
You are so kind... we sure are loving her!
I use carpet foam cleaning to clean grouts It really works.
In Terms of scrubbing the grout with toilet cleaner, mine is so strong, ist ruins the tile sealing. You might want to use the drill brushes you used to Clean your kitchen cabinets. Im pretty sure that would make cleaning much easier.
By the way, I am watching your Videos in Germany. Thank you for all your great videos and showing us women that Powertools make life a lot easier.
Love all your hacks! 1st up on my list are the tiles & grout cleaning project!! #2 are my cabinets!!! Thank you so much for all your amazing hacks! You are so creative & you are helping so many of us!!! Keep up all your wonderful DIY’s and cleaning/remodeling!! Everything you do are so creative and so helpful!! Many thanks to you my friend!! 💖 You always have a friend in Texas, Terri (Many blessings to you!! )
You are so sweet!🥰
I had to laugh when you showed the toilet roll for chords. A year ago I did the same thing and guess what? I used the very same contact paper! Yup, we're twins.
I love this so much Sherry! #twins
I appreciate that you used things you already had. Your previous home was beautifully styled. Why not reuse? I love everything, especially the large artwork and iron work over the bedside tables . ❤
Thank you!
I do my iron cord, just like you, roll it and stick it through the handle. 😂 Thank you, for making a mess, on some of these, and, then, cleaning them for us. 😊
I’ve been doing this on furniture wood clocks cabinets dressers mirrors picture frames you name it for decades. Magic marker sharpie to cover up things and furniture and it works Amazingly well! Great hack! My fave besides the toilet bowl cleaner on tile grouted floors, I’ve been using this for decades as well! It also works great in porcelain sinks! Seriously better than a bleach cleaner. 💥
Great Hacks! My take on removing permanent marker is to use rubbing alcohol! Rub it on/in the carpet, furniture and walls and watch the stain vanish!
Someone was holding onto my bathroom towel bar and it came out. Love #3 so now I can get a board behind it to hold my new towel bar. Thank you,
Hello beautiful how are you doing today I hope you are having a nice day off do tell me how is health and work how is the weather over there!!
I love all of these home hacks! My favorite is the painting stripes hack. Genius!!! Please don't apologize for your pet making an appearance in your videos. I love it when they photobomb videos 😆
Love your dangling cord hack with the pretty toliet paper roll to hold it all in place. Very clever! Thx again 🤗 Patty
Always love to learn about new hacks. Thank you! I loved the one about the grout. I plan on trying that. I used soap and water on mine when I did them but yours turned out amazing!
There’s nothing better than a great hack. I love the cord organizing. Now that’s handy. Thanks Natalee
All these hacks are fantastic, I love the toilet paper one and the drill for the cabinets, I hate my cabinets they are pine would and just q straight door and very very old, we rent so I have cleaned and scrubbed but they still look awful. I am going to paint them but I have to get them clean first, so hopefully this does the trick. Who ever lived here before never touched them. So thank you so much.
If you are going to paint, use Krud Kutter degreaser to clean you cabinets. You can clean with this product and then paint. No rinsing is needed. It is a powerful cleaner and will remove paint. So be careful what else you use it on. But cleaning wood cabinets to prepare for painting is a great use for Krud Kutter. You can get it at places like Home Depot.
The second the Krud Cutter!
I did some recently. Removed all the hardware (you can also tape it off.) Washed down first with Dawn and warm water. Rinsed well. Sanded lightly to give the primer something to adhere to. Used killz primer so the weird yellow wood stain wouldn't bleed through, then Behr chalk paint, I used two coats of white. Sealed with min wax poly acrylic (not the polyurethane.) Let everything dry for a day or two between coats and sanded between coats with 120 grade sandpaper as necessary to get rid of drips or obvious brush strokes. Came out great. Pro tip- keep all your removed hardware together in a gallon zip lock bag. Good luck!
Hi Natalie, it looks amazing. I did the same to our bathroom shower tiles and gave my arms a workout but I found an even better way to save time and most of all your poor arms.
I recently bought a 3pk of different brush attachments for my drill, I saw this on a RUclips hack not long ago and thought gotta give this a go. Our local home centre Bunnings had them. I tried them out the other day and I can't tell you how amazing they turned out. Didn't scratch the tiles did them in half the time, grout has never looked so clean even my Hubby noticed and my arms didn't ache lol. I didn't use toilet cleaner just a shower and bathroom multi purpose cleaner. Loving your videos as always. Stay safe and blessed. Hugs from Australia xx
Keep watching to the end of the video. ;) You'll see the amazing drill brushes make an appearance!
@@designedtothenines oh bugger so sorry hadn't watched to the end got a visitor lol but will def watch xx
Oooh just finished watching didn't think of my kitchen cabinets lol will add to my to do list 😊😉❤
Love your ideas, love the toilet paper roll holder. Your living room is beautiful.
Oh wow!!! Moving (hopefully) soon into a home that has dan a disabled person in it for years. It's all fine, apart from the kitchen (tiled floors and walls from floor to ceiling) is in need of a REALLY good clean, so, thank you, I've just ordered the brush kit for the cupboards and possibly floor tiles too! Yay!!!!!!!
Wow! Those brushes that attached to the drill! I followed the link and this looks like a great deal! Loads of brushes and many uses. Thank you! And by the way, these are all great hacks! The only one that I had seen before was the toilet cleaner for grout.
Awesome! Thank you!
Grandma Jen Jen.. Good evening how are you doing?
Another Sharpie hack: Fix chipped dishes with a closely matching colored Sharpie. This is best for decorative items but also works on everyday dishes, you just need to refresh it often. Just don't use it where food touches it but chips are usually in the rim so you should be safe. (ps, I designed and painted dinnerware for 30 years...this works! We had customers calling all the time for replacements of their one-of-a-kind piece which were not available!)
Even used Milliput? It is two part epoxy clay great for repairing chipped porcelain and ceramics. You can shape it, mold it, add water to thin it. It dries like stone, even underwater, then can be sanded, painted, drilled. Fixes chipped sinks, tubs, tiles, and ceramic cook tops too. Love the stuff. Some guy successfully plugged his boat with it in a storm out in the middle of the Atlantic.
My favourite hacks are: cord control + prevent buttons falling off! Thanks a lot!
wow I hear mix comments about not using toilet cleaner after I cleaned all my grout in my house and it worked . now I have clean grout. After using a brush on a mop stick than I wipe with paper towel and than mop the floor and I had no mess. and it was quick thank you
Love these hacks 🙂 I’ve been using Sharpie for years to touch up scuffs on shoes and purses, etc. Thanks for the great video!
✌️💖🙏
I also use Sharpies on my boots/shoes etc. Also if you are ever in a jam car interior detailer cleans and shines boots really well. Please be sure to test in inconspicuous area first but since your vehicle dash/console is vinyl and plastics it's safe for most materials in that area. It really makes them shine.
Wow!!! I can't believe how well that Lysol toilet bowl cleaner made the grout look brand new! Amazing!😁 Dollee is just so adorable! ❤ You asked previously how much my Razzle Dazzle ( My Cockapoo) weighed...he was just weighed on Tuesday. He weighs 16 1/2 lbs. He will not get any bigger than that. Well, between 16lbs. & 18 lbs. I love the hack for cleaning cabinets! Awesome! I will definitely going to try that!!! I have white cabinets...what cleaner did you use? As always, thank you for sharing your hacks with us! Stay safe, healthy and positive! God bless you and your family! 🙏❤🇺🇸😊
Right?! It's so amazing!!
So, as far as buffalo check project, does your trick work for that?
We wrap our Christmas lights around magazines or paper towel cardboard tubes.
Another ink or indelible ink remover is to take baby wipes and a bottle of alcohol, preferably a spray bottle. Spray the ink stain with alcohol so that it is rather wet, then spray the baby wipe with alcohol. keep using baby wipes and alcohol to rub at the area and you will find that indelible or regular ink will be removed. Now this may take several go rounds with the alcohol and the baby wipes but this too will get the job done. I am not exactly sure why this works better than just hairspray or just alcohol, but I think something in the baby wipe mixes with alcohol and the reaction results in a ink remover product that works rather quickly regardless of how fresh or old the ink stain is.
That said, there are times when I am out of baby wipes and or alcohol and it's good to know I can always go under the sink and grab that Windex!
Great video, very different from what you usually do, loved it!! My favorite hacks are the toilet cleaner on the grout and how to hide cables using the toilet paper 🧻. Cool!!
Thanks so much for sharing, I love home hacks💕💕💕
There were some great hacks in this video. Plus I liked that almost all your product links were so well rated. Sometimes I click on links only to find 2.5 or 3 star ratings, which is quite frustrating. Will definitely be purchasing some of these, specifically the brush cleaning bundle and the fabric shaver. Thank you!
I am so glad you noticed. I do my best to try and find quality products. =)
Omg! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR VIDEOS, HACKS & IDEAS!!! YOU MAKE THINGS SO EASY TO UNDERSTAND! THANK YOU!!!
That sweater shaver will also work on bedspreads! I just did mine last week!
Yes it does and clothes! It's so handy!!
The toilet bowl cleaner on my floor grout works really well! I had all but given up until you shared this. Thank you!
Love the hacks I will definitely use thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome!
Love this idea.for cleaning grout!!!!!
Forgot to add my hack when I asked about the paint. If you don’t have a stud finder, use a super strong magnet and run it up and down along the wall. The screws in the studs will be detected by the magnet.
Oh that is an awesome hack!!!
Ohh wow. Thanks for sharing that!
I have a stud finder but still prefer to use my strong magnet lol
After you locate any one of your studs, either by using a stud finder or any other method, you can simply measure 16” from that point (vertically of course), and your next stud should be exactly there, assuming your home was built to code. A 16” spacing for construction is a standard and code requirement. Good luck
There is nothing you can’t do! You are amazing!! Tyfs. God bless💖
I love all of these. #4 , the wall stripes, I have been doing for at least 20 years. It is my favorite of all time, because I paint a lot. I tell everyone to do this and I'm so happy you did this one. I will have less people to tell now. Thank you for your great ideas always.
Your my amazing hack. I love your projects. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, thank you!
💖 I love these hacks - definitely getting the brush - does anyone have any hacks to clean the oven it drives me crazy?

I second that request...
I third that request!
I’m a fourth lol 😂
Turn the oven as high as it will go and leave for 4 hours let cool everything will be ash just wipe out
. I realy appreciated this video. Very helpfull..Thank u
Don’t forget to wear gloves when using corrosives like toilet bowl cleaner. After cleaning you need to reseal it.
And lock your dogs up so they don't lick it!!!
You have such clever hacks. Thank you. Ann from Va.

Loved this one! I’m sure I’ll be using some of these!
So glad Cindy!
