Wood has oils in it. The oils are actually a good thing like oils in cutting boards. It doesn’t necessarily mean your spoon is dirty. And you may end up wearing your wooden spoons out faster by stripping oils. Just a tip

True, true, so true.

For the mold: dilute 1/2 cup borax in hot water then transfer to a spray bottle when completely dissolved and cooled. Spray on the shower grout on windows or moldy tracks. Borax kills mold and is natural it doesn’t smell. Leave it for a few hours and scrub and rinse. Do this once a month or even leave it im your shower and spray it after you get out.

For your shower door area- get some of the cotton rope (like they use in a salon for pedicures) saturate the cotton in straight bleach and lay it along the edges.

The ring is gone without hard scrubbing.

The dawn on a rag for laundry stains worked for me. My husband had a button up shirt that he spilled tea on in 2018.

@@RachPlusFive I have extremely high wall in my home with lots of windows. (Open floor plan with loft) Because of all the windows you see the dust that collects on the walls high above. My dad was a truck driver & knowing how I am about my house being clean, he bought me one of those squeegees like you see at a gas station. There’s one big difference, the one my dad bought me is used for semi’s & not just for the windows. They actually use them to clean the entire outside of the company trucks! It has several controllable extended lengths to it. I start at the top of my walls using the sponge side, which has a cloth mesh, just like the gas station type, scrub the wall & then flip it to use the squeegee side to remove any excess water downward. I shorten the extension, scrub with that water & keep working my way down. Repeat. When I get to my floor boards, I wipe the very little excess water up & while I’m there I take a dryer sheet to clean the floor boards. My walls are sparkling clean!…. Also, for those of you that don’t have walls like mine & use the paint roller, they sell a plastic tool in the paint department to remove excess paint from your roller. You don’t have to use your hands to squeeze the water out, just use the tool.

Spraying liquid on your vacuum filter and immediately using it is a bad idea! Lol. You should let it dry first so it doesn't get blocked up. Filters are crazy expensive.

Use the two bucket method when ever you are using something that requires you to wring out your mop or sponge and then use it back on your floor or wall. Always rinse it in one bucket first and then the second bucket. You have a dirty water and a clean water. You are now putting clean stuff on your floor and not the dirty stuff.

Use vinegar instead of fabric softener or dryer sheets . Use 1/2 cup in washing machine in the fabric softener resevoir

I have been using Blue Dawn dish detergent liquid as a spot remover in my washer for over ten years. It works to take out spots or stains like crazy. No rag needed, just pour a bit from the bottle directly on the stain, work in slightly with your fingers, then wash as usual. Even handles fruit stains and the infamous "red koolaid" and red wine stains. For the tracks on shower doors and to remove that black, moldy grime around them, use a mix of half white vinegar to half Dawn detergent in a dish brush-scrub on, let sit, then 45 minutes later scrub again and rinse off. Works well.

It's like magic--takes the set-in stain right out and it's very inexpensive and one bar lasts *forever* !

I would love to see more tips. I have one for you too! When you need to cut small items such as grapes, cherry tomatoes, olives or such in half, you don't need to do it individually. You'll need two semi flexible plastic lids such as the ones on margerine or whipped topping. Place the top of one lid on the counter facing up. Lay the food to be cut on top of the lid filling it almost to capacity but leaving a little room. Place the second lid with the top of the the food with the top of the lid facing the counter. Place your hand on top of the upper lid pressing gently. Use a knife with a longer blade and put it between the plates. Slice gently across the food while continuing to hold the top down. When you lift the lid your food will be cut in half. Give it a try it will save a ton of time.

The bleach in the grout didn’t work for me, but a steam cleaner got it pure white. I use the steam cleaner in places where there can’t be germs, as I’ve seen what other cleaners leave behind. It’s perfect for stuck on grease, and the window of your stove will turn spotless. One more thing I recently learned- after thoroughly cleaning your toilet, grab some oil. At the moment most of the water is flushed away, spray a thin layer of it inside the bowl. It stays cleaner longer. Stuck on spaghetti sauce on your walls? Fingerprints? There is only one way to remove the gunk and it’s probably very carcinogenic- but Scrubbing Bubbles will clean and remove app that dried in crud on your painted walls without leaving a trace.

My Swiffer is my very favorite cleaning tool. You can remove one or two of the links to adjust the reach of the pole- you can also add a link or two from a second swiffer in case you need XTRA reach… The swiffer pads (that I think are really expensive)… become much more cost effective if you rinse and re-use each one, I find I can usually get 2-3 uses per sheet but then the tuck-in corners begin to break down and rip… HOWEVER… I actually dont really have much love for the cleaning solution that comes on them. It’s pretty good for walls, ceilings, cabinet and drawer faces, and baseboards… sorta… and DOORS… like bedroom doors, closet doors… But whether or not Swiffer pads are available… it’s STILL my grime-fighting sidekick, second to none…. …because it has multiple personalities…. As long as I have a thin enough cleaning interface that wraps snugly around each edge and only overlaps once per corner (but can be poked down into the swiffer pad hole-ders… the fabric, the surface, and the right cleaning solution make for a super-swiffer-clean-sweep through most of the house. I just make sure I rinse the foam and plastic pad platform well before moving from one type of cleaning surface or solution to another- any time I need to change up the type of fabric or solution, it’s rinsed and I always save the floor for last. My swiffer slays grime from the ceiling to the floor, walls and doors, counters, cabinets, fridge (still requires immediate dry-towel finish moves), appliance faces, even my windows, sliding glass doors, and mirrors. (The last two things I only ever use rubbing alcohol to clean, nothing else). Even rinsing and swapping out various cottons and microfibers and dry dish towels, etc… I can clean my place fresh, shiny, and spotless from top to literal bottom I’m about an hour… two-three TOPS if I need to swiffer the shower walls and then sponge the bath tub and brush the commode… and vacuum, shampoo the carpet in the living room and freshen up the upholstery… and you know there is never NOT a time that dishes and laundry need done… but seriously… it can ALL be done in less time than it takes me to do my own acrylic nails… by like HALF….

Let me tell you the absolute MOST MAGICAL shower cleaner you can possibly use. Equal parts of vinegar and blue Dawn (has to be blue) in a bowl, microwave for 1 minute. Put in a spray bottle and spray down your entire shower stall (and I mean saturate the walls and doors with it thickly). Leave it for at least an hour but don't let it completely dry. Go back and moisten it. Scrub with a Dollar tree broom dedicated ONLY to cleaning your shower. Rinse walls and doors down very well and I promise you it will take every bit of the soap scum and grossness away like MAGIC. I PROMISE this works! The smell is strong but it's definitely worth it to get a perfectly clean shower stall with almost NO elbow grease.

Thank you for subbing! KZread has been doing some weird things recently. My reply was that I’ve seen that method on TikTok but didn’t want to try it until a real person let me know it works as well as suggested. Thank you for letting me know and now I’ll definitely try it. 😊

Thank you for these tips. I’ve never seen the paper towel dust pan or the sponge dryer sheet. 😎

Now that you stripped all the protective oils from the wooden spoon you need to apply mineral oil back. Just like on cutting boards. This hack was a waste of time.

I was going to say this as well. Wood utensils,etc need to be oiled to maintain them. Soaking them in water is not good.

Ugh! No boiling water on wooden utensils! The oils in the pores of the wood repel grime. Also, many woods are antimicrobial in nature anyway.

Thanks for your vid. I will definitely try some of your hacks!!

I love the fabric softener and the dawn on the towel. The cleaning of the stove area, I have silicone protectors that go into the grooves and overlaps the stove and counter. It makes it so much easier to clean

That Tilex WORKS AMAZING! I. Been using it for a while now. Only thing it has a very strong bleach aroma. I only let it sit for 5-7 mins.. But I still love it.. I’ve always thrown the laundry cap in the washer I throw the softener one in too. Thanks for all the tips!!

I like to use scrub free bathroom cleaner for my bathroom and kitchen sink. I have always been a bleach user but with covid this was the only cleaner on the shelf one day. It has a lemon scent which I normally don't like I like the bleach clean scent when cleaning. This does so well with shower scum and not actually having to use a lot of elbow grease. In my kitchen I have brass drains and it cleans them to a bright shine without any scrubbing. Works good with hard water stains, definitely recommend trying it if you are not satisfied with your cleaners.

Great hacks, I love the laundry hacks. Yes I always toss the entire lid into the wash too. Let’s not refill our plug ins with homemade anything please. Once you start a wall fire inside the electrical outlet your not going to know your home is burning until it’s too late to save the house the pets the people asleep… just do t do it. My best cleaning hack is how much I adore and love my roomba and my steam mop. Best investment ever. Before bed I walk through the house and mist an essential oil vinegar and water mixture and when I wake up I run a dust mop top to bottom. my home is the easiest to keep nice ever. Vinegar in the car? Nope. I just vomited in the back of my mouth over that thought. Lol.

Toilet bowl cleaner ( i use the scrubbing bubble one) and paper towels work the best for me for shower mold in the cracks. Just pour it on the areas then top with paper towels. It prevents the toilet bowl cleaner from drying out while it sets, and also holds the cleaner in place. After about an hour you just rinse it off no scrubbing required. If it's major mold then you may need to scrub.

Bar keepers friend spray and then powder then spray again. That is the combo I use to clean the tub.

Ty so much loved the video

I also would not mix Lysol with a dishwasher pod for cleaning your floor. Dishwasher pods have disinfectant in them already. Mixing chemicals is a bad idea, especially when you're standing over the steam. Lol

@celestewatson4874

Truth! And heaven help you if you get that floor wet - dishwasher surfactants are very slippery - dissolve one by itself into a sink full of hot water, you'll see what I mean. You'd break your neck if the surfactants were reactivated by dog pee, rain from an umbrella, a spilled cup of watet.

Fantastic demo

I definitely loved your HONESTY 👏🏻..ps, you should try cleaning your walls with a swiffer wet mop instead of the roller, because I feel that the roller just presses the dust into the wall, instead of wiping it off. Anyways thanks

For the mould and mildew hack it helps to cover it with paper towels so it soaks properly and not fry up. For me it always works

Try cleaning white vinegar to put in a bucket it may take out the green. Cover the mop head and let it sit for an hour. It works for me and it's cheaper 🙂

Okay, so the vinegar smell will go away. Obviously like any strong anything, ventilation is important. Once vinegar scent is gone, others stinks will be gone too. N by far, it’s the best for taking smells out. I like doing half water, half vinegar, spray bottle n spray directly on surfaces. Again, ventilation, and a few minutes for vinegar scent to be gone. My feet stink with no socks, i put my toms in vinegar water and let them dry. No stinky feet.

Really liked the tips

It didn’t work for me. The shoes just got beat around by the clothes and it pushed my dryer door open. I have an older dryer though so maybe newer ones won’t do it 🤷🏼‍♀️

If you lift the top of your stove, you could clean that crack as well as the mess under the stove top.
