Hi Teri...I Just got a few gorgeous shower curtains to make simple window coverings in my studio...(fibre artist) ...About 35+ years ago I lived in LA & randomly made a MAJOR thrift store find on my lunch break one day...Almost like a warehouse with countless bolts & bolts & stacks of high end fabrics & trims (everywhere you'd look) where it became common for me to see theatre people with costume designers & their storyboards...On more than a few occasions I'd be having so much fun that I ended up spending almost the entire day there...I was a like little kid in a toy store with my little Suzuki I'd always stuffed full... *: )* 💥 💮💢

I re-use dryer sheets to wipe wood surfaces (not in direct contact with food), wipe TV screens and polish up faucet fixtures. Using any type of citrus peels, I slightly boil them in water (just enough to cover); then once the liquid is cooled, strain into a spray bottle adding more water. Works great as a degreaser. Still using those same citrus peels, I make little packets using used dryer sheets. I use these as little mini scrubbers for degreasing and polishing. I also re-cycled those plastic coffee creamer bottles to use for watering my house plants ( they have nice pouring spouts). Thank you for sharing so many valuable insights!

[@poppysgreatesthits9556]

Those same citrus peels covered in ACV n then strained works as a great all-purpose cleaner-even on glass! And the ACV kills bacteria

Old shower curtains are great for protecting the the boot (trunk) of the car. They can also be used to protect the work surface when painting crafts, or can be used as dust sheets when decorating the house. Great for placing on the potting bench before potting up plants, and used as a ground sheet, under a picnic blanket.

When I travel with my necklaces, I use Kleenex tissues. I lay out the tissue, lay my necklace on top and roll the tissue around the necklace. I then fold it in half and put them in my makeup kit. That keeps them from tangling…Love all your ideas!

I use jewelry zip lock bags for each piece of jewelry. No tangling, no earrings mismatched, etc. (They're very inexpensive at a craft store or online.) Instead of using tissues (which tend to leave lint behind) I buy Gift Wrapping Tissue $1.25 for 24 sheets at the local dollar store and wrap my jewelry. I cut the individual sheets up if I don't need that much. Thanks for you hacks!!!

"Many moons ago" I used Kleenex to wrap each piece of jewelry!!! We stayed in a hotel and I was going to wear my pearls to dinner but changed my mind and wore a different necklace.

For the hack making the planter waterer…. Growing up at 12 I didn’t have a drill and needed to put holes in a plastic planter I tried over and over with a screwdriver and had the idea of heating the tip of the screw driver over the stove for a few seconds it popped through that super thick plastic like butter! When you don’t have access to somethings it really makes you work your brain if you really want to do something! The screwdriver doesn’t get ruined at all! By the time you go to dig out the drill you could’ve opened that messy kitchen drawer and heated the screw driver for a few seconds. Also if you don’t want to buy a drill boom you’re good. I have a drill now, it’s handy but not as handy as this is!!! Try it!

[@SparkleRainbow12]

Great ideas, as usual! A couple of hacks for your consideration: soaking apple slices in a solution of 1/2 tsp salt and 1 cup water for 10 min prevents them from browning. Just drain after the 10 min and refrigerate. Great for lunches and snacks! And… To defrost food like veggies or meat faster, place a cookie sheet on the counter, put the food on the sheet, and then add another sheet pan on top. Metal is a better conductor of heat than air and as a result your food will thaw faster. Thanks for the great content!

[@cass77788]

much easier to defrost meat in the microwave on the defrost function, takes minutes

I can tell you from experience that you absolutely CAN taste the salt if you do this. I prefer using lemon juice.

Awesome ideas. Take a bit of caution using baby oil on stuff (kitchen sink). It doesn't decompose, will line the pipes and eventually promote build up and clogs.Years ago it was a trend to cover your skin with baby oil after showering to 'trap' the moisture, but it didn't take long to hear that washing it off created clogged drains. Aside from that, these are great tips and ideas...keep up the good work!

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this but for removing labels off of glass jars you want the acetone nail polish remover instead of the Non-acetone. The acetone works much quicker and gets the glass very clear🤩.

[@cozycoffee3831]

A low-key alternative is to soak the label overnight (sometimes longer) in oil. I will typically just spread the oil on the label of a glass jar, and then put it out of the way on a flat plate or bowl to soak. Oil breaks down glue, it's the chemistry of it. A small amount of labels will leave a super difficult "calcium build-up" type --type of super thin material which is hard to remove. I don't know what that super thin material is actually made from, but --and I hate to say this ---I've gotten it off with the "spit shine" method. I've only come across small amounts of it, but, the "spit shine" method of using your own spit, is a good last resort. I usually remove labels with oil because it's less toxic in general and on my hands, and is easier (olive oil from the pour bottle for the stove), as long as I designate an out of the way spot on the counter for the overnight soaking, U just wanted to mention the idea, because a lot of people stress over getting labels off, when easy tricks are available.

[@Joani161]

Some labels wll come off in a soak in bicarbonate of soda or baking soda water, wine bottles for sure.

[@judyfenwick328]

Take a heat gun or a blow dryer . The heat will loosen up the glue, and it will come right off.

[@masa461]

D-limonene easily removes paper labels and adhesive residue, you only need a little, so the small bottle will last a long time.

If you have any left over lemons: Slice the lemon and then place the slices on a baking sheet (which has previously been covered with cling wrap, aluminium foil, or baking parchment). Place the baking sheet of lemon slices in the freezer, once frozen place them in a ziplock bag and they're ready to add to cold drinks whenever you need them. You can also do this with other citrus fruit too.

[@lunabeta3516]

I slice my oranges and put them in I've tray to freeze so I cam add the frozen orange to my hot tea I make myself. ( Basically just cinnamon and sugar)

[@bonnierizzo9264]

I just wanted to take a moment to comment about your lampshade succulent potting hack. I ❤ the idea. I have worked with succulents for several years now and when you are repotting, the plants love it if you loosen up the soil from the roots during the process because it helps them to grow even more than just putting them in new soil. This also is good for other plants. I hope this helped someone.

[@barbarawilliams3983]

For the full bottles of toiletries travel hack, after you do the cling wrap, if you put bottles standing up in a Ziploc gallon bag, and then place them in your suitcase so that the bottoms are going to be towards the bottom of your suitcase when you’re pulling it vertically, that’s a second barrier. I do realize that the luggage handlers are going to throw them around, but that double layer of protection makes me feel better … and if we’re driving instead of flying, even better.

[@grownfolksperspectives]

I use the ziplock (airlines use to require them. Using with that saran is even better.

[@debbielynn5306]

I just sprayed the bottoms of 4 red mugs (to start a diy project) with oil pan spray, like Pam. I let it sit for a bit, was actually 2 hours because I got busy elsewhere, and the labels and sticky glue lifted off easy peasy. Washed them in warm soapy water and now ready to craft! 👍😊

[@Reneemfenn]

🏆 handy so this will save me time (& I won’t use goo gone).

[@donnamellow746]

I have used denture cleaner tablets to clean jewelry for years. So great for diamonds and gemstones, even some costume jewelry. At the end of the video where you were trying to get the label off the jar with nail polish remover, I’ve tried this with little success.. however, I now use a cotton ball and vegetable oil. It removes the paper and the sticky residue from the label quite easily on glass jars as well as plastic canisters and storage containers. You are not using a lot of oil, therefore, it is easy to rinse after you remove the label. Thank you for all these great ideas!

[@grownfolksperspectives]

Fulling with hot water and letting sit for 5 min allows for easy peeling every time! Got to remember to empty and peel while still warm though!

Oh yes! I have used the Amazon photo trick on food, clothes, things my friends have that I'm wanting to find...its pretty useful. I used to clean houses and used the baby oil on sinks and stainless appliances. It was my secret and clients loved coming home to how pretty it was.

[@juliamccarthy4632]

I reuse my glass pasta sauce and pickle jars for dry goods in the pantry - rice, dry pasta noodles, lentils, dry beans, cornmeal, and grits store great in these containers and can be labeled for easy identification. I keep the rubber bands off of asparagus and herb bunches in a drawer then reuse them later when needed. I get castile soap (yo, Dr. Bronner!) and mix it with Dawn plus water to make a great dish washing agent. To make solution fill an empty 24 oz Dawn container with a 5th of Dr Bronner's, then add a 5th of Dawn to the container, and add water to the top (a low flow is best). Close up the bottle and gently turn it bottom over top until combined (try not to make suds as that is the cleaning agent). It will be fluid but a little goes a long, long way. This helps your Dawn to last longer but still cleans a tremendous amount of dishes. I use about a quarter cup per sinkful of water (I believe my sink holds three gallons). For those who have firepits - don't toss your wood ash - save it and sprinkle it on trees and bushes. The sodium bicarbonate is good for them. Same with banana peels - the potassium in banana peels acts as plant food. Last one - don't throw out toilet paper rolls or your dryer lint! Store your dryer lint in a container and when you go to make a fire pack some of that lint into the empty roll, squeezing the ends to keep the lint inside. These are great for camping or for the backyard firepit.

[@Susan70003]

Add water to your squeeze bottle first. Then add the soap/Dawn/Bonners and you'll avoid the bubble. Then cap and rotate to mix.

What works even better to keep paint fresh: put plastic wrap directly on surface of paint. Works great for spackle too.

[@petalpusher]

Agreed! Removing as much air as possible from between the film & the paint or plaster helps minimize mold formation. When I use most of a gallon of paint, I pour the leftover into a mason jar (less room for air & smaller to store), add plastic film against the paint surface & over the rim, then pop on a lid.

Hi Liz. Another idea for the winter is add Ice Melt to cheap stockings or pantyhose after you cut off the legs and lay the full stocking along the edge of the roof or in the gutters. It will keep ice buildup from backing up in the edges of your shingles and help keep ice cycles from hanging off the house. Obviously,try to get stocking that match the roof or at least all one color. It worked for me in Michigan and my friends up there still use them.

Hack #54 ….. use a mason jar for freshly washed strawberries and place in the fridge. The strawberries will last longer . Another hack I found awesome, is put your onions in a pair of pantyhose and hang in a cool dark place, and your onions will last longer before they start sprouting

If you haven’t tried Press & Seal Versus the Clear plastic wrap. IMO it’s a game changer. It adheres better, it is MUCH MORE air tight, and it keeps things or carbonated much longer. I’ve never been a fan of clear cling wrap (admittedly) it’s just hard to work with. Press andSeal is life changing.

Love, love, love these ideas! For the pan hack, it also works for pyrex casserole dishes. Those dishes can be stored tall or sideways. Am going to implement a lot of these. many thanks!

what a neat jewelry hack. I use old cans from Altoids for my jewelry travel. for long-term jewelry storage, I had some parts cabinets that my rings and ear rings, pins and smaller necklaces were in. Those were also valuable to put in my car when I moved across country and it was shipped. I use nail polish on my keys.

Vase stain removal - put some salt or anything gritty and some water and shake it, swirl it. It gets scrubbed even when you cannot fit your hand in. Crushed ice and salt was how we got burned on coffee from restaurant coffee globes!

To remove labels on plastic or glass, use spray WD40. Don't use water. Peel off as much of the label as possible. Then spray the area with WD40 let set for a few minutes, then you can clean the label and glue off. Works better the nail polish remover and puts a shin on plastic. Love your channel.

Use dryer sheets attached to a floor swiffer sweeper to clean baseboards and trim; not only does this clean off any smudges like fingerprints or crayon marks, but it also works as duster at same time,as the dust clings to the dryer sheets instantly.

To prevent hitting your fingers when hammering, simply put nail into the tongs of a fork. Put the head of the nail into the bowl of the fork so the nail is sticking out of the back of the fork. Use the fork to hold the nail. You don't have to hold chopsticks together.

Re: Fan switch hack. I suggest you put a small unobtrusive mark beside the switch to indicate which position it should be in for which season. If your switch in the up position spins your fan in the clockwise direction, mark beside the switch with a "W" when it's there then stack an "S" above that since the switch will be up there for Summer (counter clockwise spinning).

Great info. as always! To remove labels I soak the item overnight in a basin. Then use a scraper I got at $tree in the craft dept. It has a white handle & a flat metal scrape. Like a spatula.

The container at 45:40 is great to store bags with handles from the grocery store too. Just put the bottom half of the bag through the handles of the previous bag and stuff them into the container as you continue doing that with each bag. Then put the last bag through the hole in the lid of the container. It works like a tissue box.

I knew several of these hacks, but still watched the whole video anyway. You always share such useful tips, and I absolutely love your videos! A quick tip for getting labels off easily is to use a heat gun. It warms the glue and they usually peel right off.
