I have a lazy hack that I am doing. Before I go to the bathroom, if I have to go #2, I put a layer of toilet paper in the toilet before going. It gets rid of brown marks entirely. It keeps the brush cleaner and the toilet brush holder cleaner.
@@user-yw1lj3tr2p That is interesting. I have never had a problem with any toilet, so I guess I don't really know what that means. But it is interesting.
Great job young lady. I have never seen so many negative comments for someone who’s just trying to make cleaning easy. If you don’t appreciate it then keep doing it the hard way.
@Violett Fem The peroxide gets everything so clean and so does rubbing alcohol. I used it after Covid came along when I could find it. People were hoarding it, so I make sure I have plenty of it now. I don't know how we survived before Dawn came along. 😃
Cool I’m gonna try it!! I live in the country and if you get in a mess of chiggers, all you have to do is dot nail polish on the bites and in seconds they are gone and stop itching immediately! I’m positive that works!
@@skyblueeyes9968 it does work because it closes up the pores of your skin and they die. And it works quickly. I worked in the office at my high school and 1 time a boy came in and begged for help and I was the only 1 who knew what to do. He wrote nice things in my yearbook and I always get a smile when I see it. Nobody had clear polish but he didn't care what color it was he just needed the itch to stop NOW.
Andrea Jean - love your energy and enthusiasm. I'm accumulating some of these ingredients for a whole house clean-over! Just one thing (may apply to only a small number of your subscribers): I have low vision so I NEED you to talk! I often cannot discern products so a verbal description is crucial for me. Thanks so much. You're amazing.
Andrea Jean. Use a toilet bowl brush designated just for the tank. It works great to scrub with since the brush head is round to get into the corners & has it has a long handle
Very interesting and honest video - thank you! Just one thing... If you transfer a cleaning product into another bottle (as you did here) please always remove or cover up the original label, for safety's sake. That way neither you, nor anyone else in a hurry, will mistake it for the original product, possibly with catastrophic or even dangerous, results. 🙂
Definitely a good idea to do this and it is something OSHA requires for organizations- labelling containers with the current chemical that is in it. If you have to treat someone exposed to the chemical, you are able to identify what it is in the first place. If you really want to get sophisticated (and safer) you could download the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) which can tell you how to treat exposures. Safety in use and against exposures would be worthy of its own video!
I personally keep peroxide in a spray bottle for my kitchen counters ,pet areas shower & I even wipe down my fridge with it. It also gets used in my laundry instead of bleach & if you run a bottle thru your washer once every month or so it will help it stay fresh & clean. I love all the great hacks here. Thank you
I already shared re: the toilet and I'd like to share another. My Go To Cleaner is for Everywhere 1 large $ Tree Spray bottle fill w/ cold water First ! Add 1 ounce RUBBING ALCOHOL. Add 2-3 DROPS DAWN DISH SOAP.
Have you received negative comments resulting from you talking in your videos?? I cannot imagine! I LOVE that you talk in your videos!! To me, you seem very energetic with a wonderful voice!! Please don't listen if that was the case. Keep talking woman!! 🥰
I really liked your honesty about the fact that some toilets are a lot harder to clean than other toilets are. Thank you for your videos! They're very informative with good ideas on how to get rid of the stubborn stains without using harmful chemicals. I needed that.
You are the first site I have found that talked about hard water/ lime/ calcium/ any other minerals that won’t go away. Thank you! I can’t wait to see if I can make my toilets look pretty again.🙂
Great cleaning hacks...no harsh chemicals I like it!!! I can no longer afford most cleaning products monthly like I used to on my fixed monthly income being as the prices have been jacked up so high since COVID-19 struck. Thank you Hun! ❤
Now we know why they have interest for dirty toilet content, contrary to you and I wanting to improve our comfort and quality of life by having a sparkling toilet, they just feel attracted to dirty toilets as a comfort zone since their minds are poop stained, they don’t clean up and improve, they spread and destroy!
Great video Andrea, But would appreciate if you would show the products more closer at the camera so users could see what products you use. Thank you for sharing your skills!
@AndreaJean I heard that if you use baby oil around the side of the bowl it helps keep it clean longer. What do you think? Also, please use your voice through the videos. I've been reading comments and this is a request from your followers who can't see very well. Thanks!
Did you put the citric acid into the tank and then clean the toilet bowl? If so, you flushed the toilet several times while cleaning the bowl, thus flushing the citric acid away with the first flush. So, the citric acid never had a chance to do its thing in the tank.
This video makes me immensely glad that I don't drink Cool-Aid...Oh man!...lol!! Regarding the toilet tank, it's possibly due to the variance in the porosity of the clay. Also, an iron remover like Iron Out can help clean the inside of the tank.
As a professional housekeeper for many years, I would not recommend using a Pumice stone on any toilet that isn't white. They do scratch. Wouldn't recommend red Kool Aid either. Very pigmented and has the potential to stain, especially if you accidentally forget it for too long. Vinegar or citric acid; but don't leave it in the tank too long. Use a scrub brush. It will eat up the rubber flapper and turn it to goo. Err on the side of caution.
As a retired housekeeper with over 30 years experience, I've never scratched the bowl. In fact I've saved many a toilet that people thought were a lost cause. If you are worried, use the white stone instead.
I ordered 2 lbs of citric acid from Walmart for $18 and will use it to clean my 2 toilet bowls when I get ready to move out of my apartment. Thank you Andrea!
I use citric acid to descale the kettle and coffee machines. It works beautifully and the kettle does not need to be rinced out several times like when you use standard descaling products.
I use Lysol 10X Power blue gel. Not your old Lysol but it will loosen gunk under the rim that you never knew was there! I leave it about 20 minutes and scrub it out with the brush. Bright & shiny! Works good on tub grime also.
Thank you for mentioning under the rim. She never said anything about cleaning there and we know, especially with kids you have to clean there too. Thanks for the tip, will have to try that Lysol.
I have to admit that I was first thinking that this was crazy, but I just cleaned a super stubborn stain with a dishwasher tab and it's the first time it's been white since I moved in years ago (stains that were here when I moved in). Thanks!
The last thing I do before bed is to add 1/5 tsp of oxygen bleach powder to the water in the bowl. Takes 30 sec and works overnight to keep it white and clear and *greatly* extends the time between full cleanings.
If I remember correctly, you used warm water in the other bathroom with citric acid. Maybe using it with warm water instead of cold is what make a difference.
Love your video & the hacks. This is an area Noone really enjoys cleaning but it still has to be done. Have any of you heard of using dish washer tablet to clean the back of the toilet? Thanks for an honest video.
I have used cleaners that can be put in the tank. While they may work, they can also wear out the seal so your toilet starts leaking water into the bowl. So my plumber advices against them.
I just use my cheap cleaner (vinegar and dish soap). Turn off the water (there should be a valve), flush and use a drinking glass brush. Be careful, old values may leak, get it replaced,, close the (new) valve every month to keep it working. The valves are easy to change, find a video. Use "ball valves", they last a lot longer than the "tap" style. Use the "compression" type as they do not need a torch. If you do not have a valve or it is old I suggest that you install a new one before you try to turn the "tap" style ones. Flush to clean the tank, refill and flush until the water is at its lowest then close the "flapper" in the tank then use your favorite cleaner. This way the water is not diluting your cleaner. If you have to get a plumber, check the valves under your sinks, don't forget the dishwasher and ice maker.
this lady knows her shit. because I'm ocd and obsessive when it comes to cleansing. Matter of fact let me get off this video she's got me in the cleaning mood yay 🙃
“Iron Out” in your toilet tank has always been a “miracle cleaner” for me. Just sprinkle some in and leave overnight or (before leaving for work) then flush and you tank is spotless. No scrubbing! 😁
If you want a better sprayer, there are terrific ones at Home Depot. They are a bit large, but they can spray probably 20 feet without a problem and you'll notice a whole lot less fatigue in your hands from using them.
I had good success with the Scouring Stick but it can also scratch the porcelain and make future water rings even more stubborn to remove. I've also had good success with full-strength muriatic acid but you need to take care to use gloves AND eye protection, and you need to flush immediately after dissolving the calcium stains and not allow the acid to stand on the porcelain, otherwise the acid will etch and mar the porcelain surface.
I just found your video's today and have now have spent the past hour plus checking out a few. You nearly killed me with the face mask video! LMAO!! Loved the toilet cling for grout cleaner. Can't wait to try. But this one, I wish you had spoken through the tutorial, because you kind of lost me, especially on the plastic wrap. Not sure what that was doing. Anyway, definitely loving your energy and humor. Thank you!

Been living by myself for awhile and decided to get better at cleaning everything so women and guests don't think I'm gross. Thanks for these tips O saw a couple other videos of yours too that helped
Thank you for going to all the trouble of showing the various results a person can expect from each cleaning agent and how each agent compares to the other. I'm sad to say some of those results you achieved would have taken longer on my toilets. I'll blame my hard water. :)
I Love your channel 💓I'm so IMPRESSED with your videos💪 I don't know who said you talk to much, Please Disreguard that bc it Helps me understand your process when you talk 💥THANK YOU for Keeping it Real 💥 Your Amazing 💥💃💓😄👀
In the Wal-Mart I shop at in MN., They have small bottles of peroxide in a spray bottle. I bought 4 of them, 2bathrooms, kitchen and laundry room. Then I refill them from the large bottle of Peroxide and add a few drops of lemon or orange essential oil. I use them to clean my kitchen counters and cutting boards. All over use in the bathroom and laundry room, especially if someone has been sick and their dirty clothes were in the bottom of the hamper or piled on the floor or on top of the washer or dryer before they were washed. Also good for cleaning up after a puppy accident on the floor. Don't use on carpet unless you text it first.
I buy chlorine tablets for swimming pools and put one in the back of my toilet. It gets rid of the mineral sediments and keeps the toilet bowl spotless. Just have to wipe down the outside every now and then.
Hello Rich P, I'd like to try this trick but was curious if the chlorine breaks down any of the plastic parts in the toilet or if it has no effect on them? Thanks in advance.
@@sarareier9381 Yes. They do, ALSO, the chlroine tablet breaks away all the deposits from the bowl, and makes the toilet itself even worse...Now I have to replace the toilet because even with muriatic acid and a scouring stone (drill mounted) it aint coming out lol....So now Im waiting to save money and get me a Japanese talking toilet..might as well? (Im joking...Im not spening 3k on a toilet!)
You could of used the toilet brush too to scrub out the tank.....I use peroxide for clean around dirty faucets...spray it on and scrub with old toothbrush....rock on..you videos are great because some people just don't have a clue...thks for being there.
Not sure if anyone shared this. I live in a hard water area and find the toilet so hard to clean, mainly where the water sits. I use a couple of denture tablets in the water for a few minutes then scrub. I also use them to clean the pet auto waterer in between fills. You can get a cheap brand at any dollar store. Also I heard you talking about using a shop vac to empty the tank. Most toilets have a shit off behind and below the toilet. Just turn to the right to turn off water and flush and the tank will be empty. Open it again to fill. If you don’t have easy shut offs it’s a good project since it’s a quick shut off when the toilet gets plugged by whatever your babies get into
Yes. And/or an Efferdent tablet in the tank once or twice a week works nicely. I drop it behind the mechanism so it won't flush out right away if the toilet is used soon after placing the tablet.
Scouring sticks works great first time. However it scratches the porcelain, which causes deposits to build up faster. It gets worse every time you use them or any other abrasive.
Thanks, I was wondering about that. My krazy husband used muradic acid for our pool. The fumes were deadly but it sure cleaned the mineral buildup perfectly. Do not mix chlorine and acid, will kill you.
Hi, Thank you for the video. Doesn't scrubbing the porcelain glazed finish of the toilet with a pumice stone scratch the surface? Leading to worse bacteria clinging into the grooves caused by the scratches. Starting a vicious cycle just getting worse every time you clean with a pumice stone. Just saying... Doesn't sound like a good idea. By the way, they sell peroxide bottles with spray triggers already attached in Walmart. It's in the pharmacy department, it's just a little more expensive than a regular bottle of peroxide. My mother has been cleaning with peroxide and Dawn since she was diagnosed with asthma and COPD. Regular cleaners smell and trigger an attack, the peroxide doesn't smell, and Dawn doesn't trigger an attack. I prefer white distilled vinegar, I know it kills germs and bacteria, along with dish soap, sometimes Dawn, or Palmolive lemon and vinegar, or the Up &Up Clear unscented, no dyes. The last two don't leave sponges stinking like Dawn does. Mrs. Stewart's Bluing a couple of drops of that helps too, it sterilizes the water. Take care, stay safe, have a nice day. 👵☺️✌️☮️🖖 😷 🙉🙈🙊
I just discovered your videos and I'm so glad I did! We have hard water and it's so hard to clean that off the toilets! I have citric acid on hand; and gonna get some more for other cleaning. Thank you!
Sally Beauty sells higher strength clear peroxides which work great for cleaning applications even though they are meant for mixing with hair dyes. I usually buy a small bottle of the 40 volume and just dilute it right before cleaning with it. It is not the same as the stuff you buy at the pharmacy and should not be used for those type of applications however, so keep it separate and discard the diluted portion if any is leftover after cleaning (it will lose efficacy over time once diluted). 40 volume peroxide is 4 times stronger than regular hydrogen peroxide purchased in the pharmacy. Happy cleaning!
We live on a farm with really bad iron rust bacteria which we cannot ever irradicate. We were told when we had our 2nd well dug that possibly someone using the same aquafir upstream from us could have 'shared' their problem with us as our original well water did not have it. What I would give to have such a simple fix as just scrubbing it away.
I think this is awesome I am always experimenting doing different things. Today I discovered the metal things you put in your sink to catch things before they go down the drain are awesome for scrubbing out dried on food, but the best thing it does is gets mechanic grease and oil out of blue jeans. I washed them 3 times almost giving up and got me a 5 gallon bucket with some hot water and put dawn on the pants and yellow anti bacterial fabulouso in the bucket took the drainer dipped it in the water and took the bottom and lightly scrubbed in both directions up and down then side to side and bam no grease or oil just the blue jeans. I couldn't believe it. I was ready to throw them away.
Best way to clean toilet bowl quickly and cheap. I use 60 or 80 grit wet dry sand paper. you only need a piece maybe 2x3 inches. I also use a little bit of dish soap on the wet paper. usually about 5 minutes of cleaning and I have to do this maybe twice a year. Does not harm toilet will not scratch the bowl. try it you'll love the results.
Windex works wonders on carpet stains. I saw my ex-wife using it on carpet and questioned her about it. She proved it to me and have been sold on it ever since.
The best way to deal with toilet seat screws is to use STAINLESS STEEL FASTNERS and you will never have to deal with corrosion of the Philips screws. My hack to you Andrea.
Oh yes, I am really down for wasting my time cleaning something that NO ONE sees. When she says that the "dirt" in the tank affects the toilet bowl in some way...I'd like to know how it affects bowl in the 7 seconds it takes to transit the bowl and go out the drain. 'Ain't nobody got time for that.'
@@Vinniegret Cleaning the tank makes all the difference in keeping the toilet bowl itself looking clean. Debris from the tank and human waste are what require attention. Otherwise, the toilet bowl would stay clean.
I’m skeptical, but I’ll give it a try. The water in the tank comes in through the pipes coming into the house. The only material that goes into the tank has nothing more in it than water from any other pipe in the house.

I just found your video's today and have now have spent the past hour plus checking out a few. You nearly killed me with the face mask video! LMAO!! Loved the toilet cling for grout cleaner. Can't wait to try. But this one, I wish you had spoken through the tutorial, because you kind of lost me, especially on the plastic wrap. Not sure what that was doing. Anyway, definitely loving your energy and humor. Thank you!
@Violett Fem So for a CLOG? Like when you don't have a plunger?? Not for cleaning, right? That confused me; no explanation given, oddly.
I just want to say I absolutely love you!!! I knew immediately that the mystery cleaning product was dawn foaming spray in that one video and I am a freak about it I love it and use it on everything and it works!!! 💪 also clean freak really does work just as well and even maybe one just a few more things. Like inside my car on my seat and floar for stains and dirt. WHAT!! GIRL THST DAWN FOAMING SPRAY IS amazing 👏 you are so sweet and so amazingly genuine and really are just showing us all " how to clean for lazy people" which is so me. Also as a mommy and being pregnant you are so strong and have such a great way of teaching an explaining things!!! Also, yes the dollar tree is for EVERYONE and we all can fond SOMETHING we like from that store 😆idea who you are or how much or little money you have. Absolutely unbelievable your methods are and again tysm for that dawn foaming spray gurrlll it's my favorite thing besides the MR. Clean clean freak spray.!! OK I'm done. I'll tysm.
I like barkeepers friend for my porcelain it works really well on stains and just giving it a nice shine
Yes...and safer than other cleansers like Ajax or Comet for people with asthma and other lung conditions. Also if kids or pets in home.
Funny story…after watching this video & several others, I’m buying your recommendation lol.
Been living by myself for awhile and decided to get better at cleaning everything so women and guests don't think I'm gross. Thanks for these tips O saw a couple other videos of yours too that helped
Thank you for going to all the trouble of showing the various results a person can expect from each cleaning agent and how each agent compares to the other. I'm sad to say some of those results you achieved would have taken longer on my toilets. I'll blame my hard water. :)
Same here. Ima need a chisel.
Hi 😊 Can someone explain the baby oil hack please
I Love your channel 💓I'm so IMPRESSED with your videos💪 I don't know who said you talk to much, Please Disreguard that bc it Helps me understand your process when you talk 💥THANK YOU for Keeping it Real 💥 Your Amazing 💥💃💓😄👀
Next time use the toilet brush....it's easy and cleaner
In the Wal-Mart I shop at in MN., They have small bottles of peroxide in a spray bottle. I bought 4 of them, 2bathrooms, kitchen and laundry room. Then I refill them from the large bottle of Peroxide and add a few drops of lemon or orange essential oil. I use them to clean my kitchen counters and cutting boards. All over use in the bathroom and laundry room, especially if someone has been sick and their dirty clothes were in the bottom of the hamper or piled on the floor or on top of the washer or dryer before they were washed. Also good for cleaning up after a puppy accident on the floor. Don't use on carpet unless you text it first.
When you dot say what it is. Us blind viewerss don’t know what it is. Thank you.
I appreciate your talking. Your voice is clear and not cringe-worthy. I listen while I work so the talking is good for me.
Love pumice stones! Been using them for 30 years!
I buy chlorine tablets for swimming pools and put one in the back of my toilet. It gets rid of the mineral sediments and keeps the toilet bowl spotless. Just have to wipe down the outside every now and then.
Hello Rich P, I'd like to try this trick but was curious if the chlorine breaks down any of the plastic parts in the toilet or if it has no effect on them? Thanks in advance.
@@sarareier9381 Yes. They do, ALSO, the chlroine tablet breaks away all the deposits from the bowl, and makes the toilet itself even worse...Now I have to replace the toilet because even with muriatic acid and a scouring stone (drill mounted) it aint coming out lol....So now Im waiting to save money and get me a Japanese talking toilet..might as well? (Im joking...Im not spening 3k on a toilet!)
@@sarareier9381 it works, but is very hard on the rubber seal that stops water flow. We've replaced 3
It is hard on the tank's seals. Been there, done that.
Wow! I never ever thought of that. How do you keep it from floating around?
You could of used the toilet brush too to scrub out the tank.....I use peroxide for clean around dirty faucets...spray it on and scrub with old toothbrush....rock on..you videos are great because some people just don't have a clue...thks for being there.
Not sure if anyone shared this. I live in a hard water area and find the toilet so hard to clean, mainly where the water sits. I use a couple of denture tablets in the water for a few minutes then scrub. I also use them to clean the pet auto waterer in between fills. You can get a cheap brand at any dollar store. Also I heard you talking about using a shop vac to empty the tank. Most toilets have a shit off behind and below the toilet. Just turn to the right to turn off water and flush and the tank will be empty. Open it again to fill. If you don’t have easy shut offs it’s a good project since it’s a quick shut off when the toilet gets plugged by whatever your babies get into
Ty. Im going to try it. ♡♡
Yes. And/or an Efferdent tablet in the tank once or twice a week works nicely. I drop it behind the mechanism so it won't flush out right away if the toilet is used soon after placing the tablet.
Does anyone else besides me use Comet powdered cleanser to clean their toilet bowl?
Thanks so much for keeping it real. There's so much fake stuff going on. It's frustrating and makes me feel too stupid to clean. 😞
Scouring sticks works great first time. However it scratches the porcelain, which causes deposits to build up faster. It gets worse every time you use them or any other abrasive.
Yes, I ruined a toilet from a pumice scrub. The stain comes back worse.
Thanks, I was wondering about that. My krazy husband used muradic acid for our pool. The fumes were deadly but it sure cleaned the mineral buildup perfectly. Do not mix chlorine and acid, will kill you.
I heard using a shell 🐚 works!
thx for the tip
In 30 years and hundreds of toilets I've never scratched a bowl. If the bowl it's been scratched previously by steel wool or a razor blade.
It’s not being lazy it’s being smarter than the average bear
That’s right Boo Boo 😉
Too cute love that response!
By the way, great ideas!
Thank you! 😊
The toilet seat covers are great to remove oil from your skin. Lil dab, dab action and T-zone nice and matte.
Hi, Thank you for the video.
Doesn't scrubbing the porcelain glazed finish of the toilet with a pumice stone scratch the surface? Leading to worse bacteria clinging into the grooves caused by the scratches. Starting a vicious cycle just getting worse every time you clean with a pumice stone. Just saying... Doesn't sound like a good idea.
By the way, they sell peroxide bottles with spray triggers already attached in Walmart. It's in the pharmacy department, it's just a little more expensive than a regular bottle of peroxide.
My mother has been cleaning with peroxide and Dawn since she was diagnosed with asthma and COPD. Regular cleaners smell and trigger an attack, the peroxide doesn't smell, and Dawn doesn't trigger an attack. I prefer white distilled vinegar, I know it kills germs and bacteria, along with dish soap, sometimes Dawn, or Palmolive lemon and vinegar, or the Up &Up Clear unscented, no dyes. The last two don't leave sponges stinking like Dawn does. Mrs. Stewart's Bluing a couple of drops of that helps too, it sterilizes the water.
Take care, stay safe, have a nice day.
👵☺️✌️☮️🖖 😷 🙉🙈🙊
Yes
I just discovered your videos and I'm so glad I did! We have hard water and it's so hard to clean that off the toilets! I have citric acid on hand; and gonna get some more for other cleaning. Thank you!
Use a denture cleaning tablet, works wonders
Along with hydrogen peroxide, it cleans the hard water stains. Lime-a-away from dollar tree is great too.
I bought the same citric acid at Walmart
Very Thank you away I like you área my Drive tomorrow
you have super-pretty nails, the color is very cute on you, thanks for the cleaning tips!
Sally Beauty sells higher strength clear peroxides which work great for cleaning applications even though they are meant for mixing with hair dyes. I usually buy a small bottle of the 40 volume and just dilute it right before cleaning with it. It is not the same as the stuff you buy at the pharmacy and should not be used for those type of applications however, so keep it separate and discard the diluted portion if any is leftover after cleaning (it will lose efficacy over time once diluted). 40 volume peroxide is 4 times stronger than regular hydrogen peroxide purchased in the pharmacy. Happy cleaning!
Thank you
You're welcome
Dawn and peroxide are my go to and it disinfects. I love your suggestions!!! Thank you for sharing !!!👏👏👏👏👏👏
It's relieving to know someone else scrubs the gunk out of the toilet tank. My husband thinks I'm nuts.
I do it too but only when I'm restoring a toilet for resale. To be honest, it is completely pointless to clean the tank otherwise.
In an emergency you may need that water. Keep cleaning! There is a point.
Yeah, well he will thank you if there is some emergency and he has clean drinking water in the tank.
@@elizabethibarra7382 damn, you beat me. lol
We live on a farm with really bad iron rust bacteria which we cannot ever irradicate. We were told when we had our 2nd well dug that possibly someone using the same aquafir upstream from us could have 'shared' their problem with us as our original well water did not have it. What I would give to have such a simple fix as just scrubbing it away.
Have you tried Barkeepers Friend, cordless drill with a scrub brush on a long rod?
walmart sells that as well by canning supplies
To get the sediment out hold the handle down with one hand and get the black hose and start spraying around in there with the other
Great tips!!! I wouldn't mind if you talked and explained more verballly.
i USE VITAMIN c AS A SUBSTSTUTE for Citric acid It works great soaking of peeled potatoes to keep them from turning brown.
Wow, you are great with these Hacks. Thank you.
❤️❤️❤️
We have hard water. Ive used every thing. And we found that stick you are using. It works miracles. 👍👍
I think this is awesome I am always experimenting doing different things. Today I discovered the metal things you put in your sink to catch things before they go down the drain are awesome for scrubbing out dried on food, but the best thing it does is gets mechanic grease and oil out of blue jeans. I washed them 3 times almost giving up and got me a 5 gallon bucket with some hot water and put dawn on the pants and yellow anti bacterial fabulouso in the bucket took the drainer dipped it in the water and took the bottom and lightly scrubbed in both directions up and down then side to side and bam no grease or oil just the blue jeans. I couldn't believe it. I was ready to throw them away.
What are the metal things you put in your sink?
thanks
Welcome
Yes I like you área
Thank You were haría
Best way to clean toilet bowl quickly and cheap. I use 60 or 80 grit wet dry sand paper. you only need a piece maybe 2x3 inches. I also use a little bit of dish soap on the wet paper. usually about 5 minutes of cleaning and I have to do this maybe twice a year. Does not harm toilet will not scratch the bowl. try it you'll love the results.
Sometimes public toilets will look dirty down the front, so I pull that paper flap forward so it covers the dirty front.
I have a septic tank afraid to use stuff 😕 been looking for something safe to use
Bravo!
Windex works wonders on carpet stains.
I saw my ex-wife using it on carpet and questioned her about it. She proved it to me and have been sold on it ever since.
The thumbnail looks like something else 😂
♥️ thanks
The best way to deal with toilet seat screws is to use STAINLESS STEEL FASTNERS and you will never have to deal with corrosion of the Philips screws. My hack to you Andrea.
I have used denture cleaner for my toilets. To clean the toilet tanks. Works pretty good!
I love your gloves!! Where did you purchase them? Thanks
OMG!!! Thanks for that 😊
Oh... we’re supposed to clean the toilet tank? Lol
Oh yes, I am really down for wasting my time cleaning something that NO ONE sees. When she says that the "dirt" in the tank affects the toilet bowl in some way...I'd like to know how it affects bowl in the 7 seconds it takes to transit the bowl and go out the drain. 'Ain't nobody got time for that.'
@@Vinniegret Bacteria builds up there it goes down there
@@Vinniegret Cleaning the tank makes all the difference in keeping the toilet bowl itself looking clean. Debris from the tank and human waste are what require attention. Otherwise, the toilet bowl would stay clean.
I’m skeptical, but I’ll give it a try. The water in the tank comes in through the pipes coming into the house. The only material that goes into the tank has nothing more in it than water from any other pipe in the house.
I think the best toilet bowl cleaner i have ever found is called 'The Works'. I got it at Dollar Tree. NO SCRUBBING!
You have the best idea for cleaning things
i love your vids!
hi!!!!!!
