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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

All of these were great! Definitely trying the tools for my drill and attacking my cabinets, omgosh Natalie...I seriously needed that one🙏🙌

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?

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 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.

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.

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 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.

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

Love your dangling cord hack with the pretty toliet paper roll to hold it all in place. Very clever! Thx again 🤗 Patty

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 . ❤

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!!

HI Natalee, I especially love the toilet paper cord hack and the drill brush for scrubbing cabinets.

Great hacks! Some I knew and have used and other's where new to me, like the marker on the carpet hack. Never knew that! I've use the toilet paper roll to keep my corded small appliances tidy for 30+ years now, my family hates it, but I love this hack. lol My favorite was the drill attachment to clean with, love that! Thank you for this video, they are all so helpful to everyone! Hugs, Brenda

U read my mind!! I was literally looking for a “shaver” for the couch. You are the best LOVE all these hacks!! I recently seen somebody doing your paint hack and thought Hey, that’s NataLee’s hack 😀I will definitely be trying that when I paint next!! As always another awesome video. 🦋♥️And I just LOOOOVE DOLLY!! 🐶 I want to give her a hug! So cute!

don't press hard when using the shaver. It will eat holes in the fabric and if there is a pulled thread the shaver will catch it and make "runs" in your fabric - I made this mistake - if you are careful the shaver works fantastic - it will take a pilley sweat shirt and make it look brand new.

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.

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.

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!!! 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! 🙏❤🇺🇸😊

So, as far as buffalo check project, does your trick work for that?

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!

Love the hacks I will definitely use thank you for sharing.

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.

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.

My favourite hacks are: cord control + prevent buttons falling off! Thanks a lot!

Always a joy when you come with a new video 🥰🥰

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 KZread 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

New Subbie. Thank you for all the awesome home hacks. I needed the grout hack like 15 years ago; it would've saved me so much scrubbing on my hands and knees. I love your shiplap wall install and lighting hack. Very beautiful.

Thank you for these great hacks!

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. So helpful and ingenious. Thank you so much!

Thank you sooo much! It will work so well! You’re so inspiring!👏🏼💕🌹

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!

The tile cleaning idea is great-can't wait to try it!

Bumping out the wall for lighting is fantastic!! Thank you!

What a great episode.
