How I clean our expensive pots and pans after my husband cooks is I pour in enough water in the pan to cover the burnt on, dried on, over cooked food, a few drops of dawn dish soap and turn the burner on to boil. Stir the water a few times with a spatula, scraping the bottom of the pan and by the time the water boils the pan should be somewhat clean. I call it work smarter not harder. Been cleaning pots and pans this way for years!

[@arabianknights7391]

How to get out of cooking! Hubby''s no fool. LOL.

[@AWanderingEye]

And I can support the Folex tip! I have white curtains in the kitchen which got something tomato based splashed on them (how? we'll never know) So I sprayed some Folex on, and magically it disappeared. Didn't need to remove them. I will eventually run them through the washer, but not now since the stain is gone! I had never heard of this product until this channel. I sure hope Folex gives you a sponsorship someday!

[@leewillers4621]

I will need to try that!

[@msyfi]

There is another cheap hack to get stains out. It is Windex or any blue liquid glass cleaner. It gets blood out of whites, but you have to let it sit and then wash. I had an accident that left me with a concussion that took years to recover from but I still have bouts with depression where I just exist. Anyway, now that I am doing better mentally I am starting to clean more. I bought a white cloth shower curtain last summer and never washed it. I took it down to wash last weekend and I was ready to throw it away. It looked like it had been dragged in mud. I sprayed it with Windex and gave it a light scrub with a simple scrub brush and threw it in the washer and waited 😮. It looked brand new. Not a spot on it 😅.

[@MearlSchie-s5n]

I wrap Saran Wrap around my remotes. Keeps them clean and dust free. The buttons can still be used. ❤

[@AndreaJean]

Very interesting.

[@redTtop]

If you clean your bathtub after you get out with your rag or washcloth, you don’t have to worry about cleaning it once a week. I was taught to wipe down the tub when you get out of the tub. Also scrub daddy or scrub mommy is the best scrubber I’ve used! Doesn’t scratch my non stick pans!

[@createchalktasticallywithj3559]

Oh my goodness, please, don't use the cloth you will use on your skin again. There's more to bacteria than just a toss in the washing machine for that cloth before it touches your skin again and the bacteria that grows on the surface of a bathtub/shower could possibly give your skin a horrible infection/boils. Please keep the body washcloths separate from the "cleaning the tub/shower" cloths.

[@Col123-sj3cv]

Isnt Andrea the best, she cracks me up and at the same time, has the best tips.

I do use a swifter for dry dusting, but often find I need to follow-up with a damp microfiber cloth or mitt for grimy stuff, especially on my vinyl blinds

[@bethhelminiak5063]

I have the faux swiffer mop head and the broom handle from Dollar-Twenty-Five Tree. I use that with a scrubby wash cloth (hand knit with a yarn intended for making scrubby washcloths, takes a few hours in front of the TV to do) to scrub my tub.

[@karynstouffer3562]

The sponge in the microwave is not as effective as most people think. I can't remember where I found it, it was over a year ago, but I read a report on cleaning kitchen sponges. They used different sponges in a test kitchen, nothing special, just typical use. They tried all of the cleaning methods. Dishwasher, microwave, laundry, everything. Not one of them got the sponges truly sanitized. You can get the surface very clean, but there will always be resistant bacteria inside the sponge that will start to regrow the instant you get the sponge wet. They did lab tests. Swab the surface of the sponge, cut the sponge open, both in dry and wet states. All of them were extremely contaminated after a week. They had really big colonies of heat and drug resistant bacteria. Every one of them. They decided to just recommend that you should allow your sponge to dry thoroughly (until it reaches a "hard" state), after rinsing well. Kitchen sponges should be used for no longer than two weeks. After that, they are really good at spreading bacteria around your kitchen, and not much else.

I actually use the denture cleaner on my jewelery. It loosens the organic matter, and you can follow up scrubbing with either toothpaste or alcohol. I actually have a dedicated head to my ultra sonic toothbrush to use in my jewelry.

[@pearlrichardson4179]

I already use the tub scrubber which I invested in a couple of years ago due to back issues. It's genius & I love it. There is a longer adjustable extension tool for the Swiffer Duster that I have been using for years. I just love it. I wish I knew about using the duster for the baseboards years ago. That's a game changer. I love your channel/videos. I'm learning a lot.

When it comes to cleaning baseboards? One of my longtime friends (since junior high) enlisted the aid of her small daughters. Figuring that they were closer in height to the baseboards than herself? She simply gave each of them a dryer sheet and made a game out of it. These days, she does the same with her grandchildren. ☺️❤

[@leewillers4621]

Dawn power wash is what I use for funky pans, grease stains on clothing and my stovetop. I also have begun using the Rinse and Refresh in my wash. Thanks Andrea Jean!

[@melissab1725]

I have the Folex it works absolutely amazing. I had a few m&ms melted and squished into my white sheets and sprayed it in let it sit for a min and wiped it off with a microfiber cloth. It came right off without me having to take my sheets off and washing them again. I would have just washed them but I had just put them on my bed. I love the Folex. Another good cleaner is “Iron Out” for rust and hard water. It worked so well on the rust around my tub drain. I was shocked on how well it worked.

I work in hospitals and use the Sani-Cloth germicidal wipes for the outside part of my work shoes. Then when I get home from work, I remove my shoes at the door. I spray the inside with sanitizing spray like Lysol and stick them on our boots/shoes dyer. It blows heated air inside my shoes! This helps kill some of the bacteria and feel so nice putting on my work shoes in the morning!

I use denture tablets for my anti-grind mouthpiece. I also used it back in the day when I had a retainer. Also, I love the Rinse and Refresh, but I have citric acid crystals here at home and I wonder if I dissolved them in water and tried that instead if it would work as well?

Just found another good reason for getting organized. In cleaning out my craft room I Found 7 exacto knives and 39 bottles of paint duplicates. The problem of being disorganized is you don't know what you have and then you go buy another one. Something else to help you stay organized is a bar light that goes inside your cabinets so you can see what you have. The lights are very easy to install. I put them in my pantry, under my sink and inside my closet.

[@ginj5375]

Been using mop in my tub and shower for a while, btw your skin and hair looks great! I love dawn also. p.s. always turn your computer off before cleaning, a daily detail brush works great also a sanitizing wipe works.

I'd like to offer you a hack in reference to the lil red scraper. I use the small clips that you get on some breads... potatoes...etc. I keep them on my kitchen window sill. It works just as well as the scraper, AND, It was free 😁. One more thing, for cleaning your floors, I found YEARS ago, Lysol Concentrate All Purpose Cleaner Disinfectant in the brown bottle. Don't have a flowery smell to it, but, works FANTASTIC.

Magic erasers are great, but be sure to test an inconspicuous part first as it removes some paints.

[@karynstouffer3562]

Not only does it remove some paints, it's really good at scratching shiny surfaces.

[@marybethnicklaus4782]

I loved my Rinse-a-Roo until the part that goes around the faucet got little pinholes in it and water would squirt all over. Great concept, they just need to work on a stronger rubber for that part. Great customer service though.

I tried both methods of drying shoes in the dryer. USE A MESH BAG! Hanging it over the door with out a kind of a cover on it, twisted the shoe laces, stretched and ruined it. Just throwing it in the dryer is not bad but depending on the kind of shoe and built, overtime it’ll separate the sole from the body of the shoe. Nowadays whatever method I want to use, I just make sure to use a mesh bag and I no longer get my designer sneakers damaged

I have an older video on it! Maybe I can post a short on why I no longer recommend it. You have to take it apart to let it completely dry. If you don’t it will stink. Also there’s a cleaning roller you have to hand clean and again let it dry which takes awhile. It’s smelly and time consuming lol!

If you take a plastic container out of the freezer and it is stained from spaghetti sauce. Place a piece of kitchen roll in the bottom then add some dawn dish washing liquid and 1/2 cup of warm water . Put the lid on and shake vigorously. When you take the lid off and pour contents out stain will be gone. Don’t wash container first.

[@AndreaJean]

I did a whole video on this and it actually didn’t work for me 😢

[@DonnaVilser]

Another reason for a stinky washing machine is that you need to clean out the water filter Some front loaders will be on the front bottom or the pain in the butt ones will be in the back where you have to take off the back panel. You can google your machine # and there will be directions. You will be amazed the amount of gunk gets clogged up thus giving a funky odor…

[@csandst1]

If you have flat paint, magic erasers will remove paint and leave a mark. Swiffer doesn’t do a great job on blinds. A cloth does a better job. Regardless of what is used, you need to clean each slate individually and not a quick pass. Clorox wand isn’t necessary. I had one and got rid of it. A Dollar Tree microfiber mop head works better.

[@joettatidwell544]

Could you recommend the long handled brush/cleaner for your bathtub, or shower wall. With no batteries or chargers. That can accommodate refill scrubber
