I haven't purchased alka-seltzer lately, but it seems to be a rather expensive cleaning product...vinegar or baking soda might do the same. overall good tips. . . thanks.

Just did it with tea stains on mugs. Works wonders. I discovered that you can transfer from one cup to another or tip it down the toilet bowl to save wasting too many tablets.
Great hanger hacks! Because Alka Seltzer is a bit pricy ($6.99 for 36 tablets at my local Jewels), I prefer to use Polident Denture Tablets ($8.49 for 120 tablets). It does the same job but for a whole lot less. Just thought you'd wanna know. I really enjoy your videos. Keep 'em commin'! PEACE

Baking soda and vinegar is even cheaper and is essentially the same thing. Just be careful of how much water you add until it's done fizzing.
really appreciate both the tips but especially for respecting my time and not start with endless blather at the beginning.
Turning a hanger into a paper towel dispenser is something my mom taught us decades ago! I can't help wondering where she learned it, but it's been a favorite hack of mine since I was a child. The rest of these are pretty great, too!
I guess I will add my 2c...I use my skirt hangers (the ones with clips as you showed) to hold my recipes. I put the hanging (top part of hanger) through one of my cupboard door handles and 'scoot' the clips closer or farther apart, depending on the recipe card/sheet that I am working from. JudyK/IA
I think she owns stock in Alka-Seltzer! Some of those cleaning tasks are cleaned just as well with regular dishwashing soap, which she uses after the Alka-Seltzer soaking anyway. Another cleaning hack is to make a squirt-bottle of mostly water and just a 1/4 cup of bleach. Particularly good for stain removal. Leaves a bleachy clean smell but not that bad. MUCH, MUCH cheaper than all those Alka-Seltzer tablets. I don't mean to cast a bad shadow. A lot of those usages, particularly the coat-hanger ones were great.
Great tips! One could go broke buying Alka Seltzer to clean everything described! I'll stick with vinegar!
I love hard work. I could watch someone else do it for hours! :)

Some of these were a little funny, like a magazine flopped over a plastic clothes hanger on the bathroom wall instead of a 🧺 basket or rack. Imagine going into a house and seeing hangers deployed all over the place, like holding bunches of bananas in the kitchen, a selection of magazines in the bathroom 🚽, holding up art in the living room, tools hanging up on a coat rack in the garage, shoes in the hallway, etc...

Loved the hanger tips and will use some of them. But Alka Seltzer is way too expensive for my budget to use that lavishly. Oh - just read the following tip and saw that denture tablets will work. Thanks to you for your video - and to her!
denture cleaning tablets are made mostly of the same ingredients and cost a lot less. Bleach water for your stained cups is what's used in restaurants and it sanitizes the crazing. Distilled vinegar is dirt cheap. Alka Seltzer is more pricey

Another way to save space is to put a can tab over the hook of a hanger and then slide another hanger hook through the other can tab hole. You can use more tabs to “waterfall” as many hangers as you would like.

Denture cleaning tablets work well also, cheaper, especially at dollar tree!
Simple, yet brilliant ideas!
I use to do the tablet thing years ago for my husband's stainless steel thermos that he took to work everyday.
Don't unseason a true coffee drinker's coffee pot or coffee cup. Let's them wash their own dishware.
the hanger ideas are really smart. I would get frustrated when my pants would slip off pants hanger, I tried a few different things but sometimes it didn't work. Fortunately I found a pants hanger sold online (JS HANGER Wood Pants Hangers, they are $2 per hanger), they have plastic inserts inside the metal clips, the hanger also has much sturdier clamp (this design feature keeps the pants secure / prevents from slipping)
Great stuff! Brilliant! Your household is blessed to have you.
Notice she has the piece of paper towel already torn off when she grabs it....this is because the roll will come off the clothes hanger if pulled. Just sit a roll on your work table - much simplier
Excellent tips. Thanks a million.
Plain baking soda works great too. And it's only pennies.
To do greasy containers I boil the Kettle and pour boiling hot water into the greasy container with a few drops of dishwasher liquid and let it sit for a bit then wash it out.
Aside from all the great techniquest - I love the ice-cream cone timer !!! Ha !!!
Magic eraser or even bar keepers friend is so much cheaper than alka seltzer tablets. They are expensive here!
Excellent tips, thank you.
The majority of alkaseltzer hacks can be achieved with a magic eraser.
I haven’t seen a clothes pin in 40 yrs.
7:32 in an accident these metal hangers pocking out could hurt a back seat rider.
The chain to add additional hangers is the best of the ideas.
Storing your paper towels on hangars - now that's what I call a brilliant use of space. Using a hangar to store a reading list in the bathroom - that's pretty darned good as well.

Most Alka seller contains aspirin unless you are able to find it without. Baking soda and vinegar are much cheaper alternatives with the same results. Did love the coat hanger hacks!!! Just makes sure if you use the chain idea, the base hanger can hold the weight.
Great ideas that I never saw before! Thanks!
As a Brit I always have a laugh (or should I say 'snigger') when Americans use the word 'pants'. Here in the UK we use the word pants to refer, almost exclusively, to male or female underwear!

@7:18 one should not put a hard rod between the driver seat and its headrest. The seat is crush tested for safety. The metallic rod could be tampering with the survival of the driver in case of an accident.

Maybe use small bungee cords, zip ties etc. to hang it from. Thanks again. Loved the information and take care.

I don't know if it's going to be a problem or not, but if there is a huge increase in using alcoseltzer for cleaning, are the facilities that remove contaminants from waste water going to be able to continue to remove the aspirin, and other ingredients from the water? I'm not suggesting other chemical cleaning products are any better, just that people generally don't consider potential problems their actions could cause.

My thoughts too. Aspirin shouldn’t be going down drains to get in water treatment plants, streams oceans and rivers (for those on septic systems). Baking soda and water or vinegar work just as well.

I like what you did with the hangers.
Use a magic eraser to remove coffee stains in your coffee cup and coffee pot. Cheaper than alka seltzer and denture tablets.
It's amazing what soap and water can do
just use baking soda, you don't need asprin, and the other ingredients in alka seltzer
Great ideas but do not use alka seltzer on your granite. You should never use anything acid on granite. I use Bob Vila's recipe: 1/2 cup alcohol, 1/2 tsp dish liquid, and 1.5 c water in a spray bottle.

I quit using the Walmart hangers because of the rib around the hanger. My Cotten shirts were beginning to wear holes in the shoulders. I now use the felt ones from Sams . Plus since they are flat they take up much less space in the closet and protect my clothes.

Not necessarily...sometimes the fizzing provides an additional level of cleaning beyond soap and water.. especially if you live in an area that has hard water buildup. Those plastic containers for instance sometimes NEVER get truly clean with just soap and water. But I agree with another commenter sometimes soap and water needs a little "help" like adding bleach which also disinfects surfaces especially if there is someone sick in your household you are not just spreading germs everywhere.
It shows most people do not read the comments or they would see that 40 people have already mentioned denture tabs lol
We shouldn't have to "rig" hangers to fit our needs. Why aren't companies who make clothing hangers or similar gadgets designing these things??? Like definitely putting foam padding in the clips on pants hangers??? How difficult is that??? Not very - I've thought of it along with millions of others, I'm sure! I use pieces of paper towel or tissue paper, whereas the video shows a business card. Regardless, these companies are lazy.
Baking soda and vinegar does the same thing as those pricey tablets and is much less expensive. Plus, both are usually in everyone's home.
I’ve used denture cleaner tabs for cleaning…and I find clothes hangers to be a necessary evil to hang clothes! 😂🎉😅😊
Excellent information!!!! i'll be using some of these
Shower curtain rings on a hanger is a bad idea. The slightest bump and the hanger will tip sliding all of them to one end in a tangle of necklaces. Notice she has to carefully try to balance the hanger and in one scene she can't even let go.
