7 Genius Home Hacks You Can't Live Without! *brilliant*

[@siscarmichael2949]

I really enjoy watching your videos, because I too am a cleaning freak and have more cleaning stuff than most, but I didn’t know about the swifter that opens up to dual sides! What a game changer! Thanks

[@AndreaJean]

I'm so glad!

[@susanjsnook7826]

I use an old pillowcase to clean fan blades!! Works great and no dust to clean up all over the room!! After wiping blades down with pillow case I take damp rag with surface cleaner on them. Then shake pillowcase outside and wash then was & put away for next time. Quick & easy & virtually no clean up.

[@carrierichardson6619]

I very much appreciate you highlighting products safe for septic. Having a septic tank for the first time ever, i have changed cleaning styles. Examples i dont use bleach anymore. Hydrochloric acid & hydrogen peroxide as well as a HIGH acidity vinegar. Lots of essential oils & distilled water. Better health has come from these changes too!

[@AndreaJean]

❤️❤️❤️

[@pwood6532]

If you have ever thrown up in the toilet ..that is hydrochloric acid ..just like the toilet bowl cleaners.the small amount you add to a septic tank isnt likely to destroy the entire bacterial ecosystem in the tank.each elimination down the toilet contains BILLIONS of bacteria!vinegar is a weak organic acid..and its ph is not very acidic.its a great replacement for fabric softener in the laundry as it breaks up the detergent particles.i have added it to my laundry for 30 years. Bleach is not a cleaner..it is a disinfectant.after cleaning with soap or a surfactant cleaner..diluted bleach for 10 mins on a surface will kill bacteria and viruses and will not leave a lasting residue..it breaks down quickly.i have had septic for over 50 years!

Hello Andre & husband - camera person, I just ordered the CLIC cleaning cream, and the shower hose sprayer thing. Both are something I need. OMG it was like you were talking right to me with these products today. I am so sick of water splashing back at me and running down my arm when I try to rinse the shower. It's a glass enclosed 1 and I get soaked. I'm going to compare the Bar Keepers Friend to the new cream cleanser. Bar Keepers Friend has a strong smell. I have used it for years though. Thanks for the useful tips and products you always show us. Have a good weekend. (in 1 more day)😊😊

[@AndreaJean]

Same to you Ann ❤️❤️

[@shelleycoleman1760]

When I was young (50 years ago ish) I was in a 4-H horse program. I used Mrs. Stewarts bluing on my horses white socks to get them all white (or appear whiter) for fitting and showing. It had been around for decades before I used it. So I don’t think Mrs. Stewart is writing instructions any longer! I think it was even used on hair to make it appear whiter. And it has always been a great laundry tool.

[@hezebelbeing]

It's New Year's Day and here I sit happily with my coffee watching you. Your videos are so satisfying and I ALWAYS learn so much. We have 3 ceiling fans, THE SAME washer and dryer (so that was super helpful) and cleaning it right when I finish this coffee ;) and the walls...you CHANGED MY LIFE with Windex tbh! The Swiffer fan-blade cleaner is a game changer and my husband is 6'3" so he just does it, no worries. Fuzzy sock and essential oils is a game changer Yay! Love bergamot! like oranges in Tuscany. Anyway, I also find it so much easier to trust your reviews because they are not paid. I mean, promoting a product is not an issue for me, but not BEFORE the trial...so I really really trust and appreciate that. YOU are my only cleaning channel now :) HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and yours.

[@AndreaJean]

Same to you ❤️❤️❤️

[@donnapollock]

I also love the Fan cleaner and the tip with the fragrance I also clean my washing machine the way you do, and I use all the same products. My son is in construction and his clothes are a mess all the time. Great tips and I also have your Vacuum and your steamer too. I wish I cleaned like you do...Thank you so much for the tips and lesson...

[@AndreaJean]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@cookshackcuisinista]

My grandmother used to put some blue solution in her hair rinse back in the sixties!

[@rachelschmidt1697]

I love your videos you have good cleaning idea's and your organization tips. The only problem I have and I'm sure many of your viewers with Fibromyalgia and other severe chronic pain conditions can't move all the ways you do to clean. Like being on your hands and knees for cleaning floorboards and the lower walls. Also many of use can't use toxic cleaners that have fragrances. Could you do a few video's with us in mind. Love that your always so happy and positive. Many of us sit at home depressed and in a lot of pain and your videos are very fun.

[@lisahuynh997]

Adjustes 😂 Seriously though, I’ve gotten so many great ideas to help my sweet momma to use for cleaning with her bad back. I have some autoimmune issues so she refuses to allow me to help. However you have really helped me and I’m trying to help her with a few of your ideas. Every little bit counts. Thank you for your humor and testing skills! 😊

[@AndreaJean]

I'm so glad!

I love all your suggestions… you are just a super person!!

[@AndreaJean]

You are! ❤️❤️❤️

[@melaniesmizawski9413]

I remember my mom and grandmother using bluing on whites many years ago. They had to do it separately from washing if I remember correctly.

[@AWanderingEye]

I like that vacuum as it converts to something you can wear/carry. I wonder if the carpet/floor beater can just be added to the long pole so you could walk with it on your shoulder?

[@quiltingmell]

Andrea Jean, I truly love your videos. Your polite, informative, and know your stuff, oh and not lest forget your wicked sense of humor is a delight. Please keep the videos coming . Love having you in my realm of you tubers. Merry Christmas to you and your family.❤ 🌲

Hi Andrea. I love cif, I use it for the oven, stove, when the white plates or cups have a stain, or even when the toilet seat has a stain

[@AndreaJean]

Great tip!

[@caroleweston7563]

I live in the UK and have been using Cif for decades although it used to be called Jif (don't know why the name change). Also we can buy it in spray form specifically for kitchens, for bathrooms and other versions. For heavy duty the cream works best.

[@AndreaJean]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@suzannemckitterick2781]

Great video! But long sleeves cleaning in sink, tub a mystery...Lucky you, no swpies/wipes on fabric. Loved your tools&products...

[@knoopsylvia]

I just use 96% alcohol in a spray bottle, together with a micro fiber rag it cleans and sanitizes everything and your mirrors don’t streak

[@gailwilliamson4726]

Omg I’ve had my front load washer for years and never pulled the detergent drawer all the way out to clean inside!! I had no idea how dirty it was. Thank you so much!

[@Daggeeto]

I absolutely love that Shark vacuum, too! We have 2 dogs and a cat. It's the best one we've ever had for pet hair. I'm always amazed at how much hair it picks up even though our house is quite clean.

[@AndreaJean]

So cool!

How do you clean mold off of the rubber that's on your refrigerator door? I've tried so many things. Thanks

[@AndreaJean]

I would use 12% hydrogen peroxide

I use a product called Afresh in my top loading washing machine and dishwasher. Works great. My mom used Mrs Stewart will I was growing up but I think she used it in the rinse water.

[@lisareynolds4028]

Just a thought when you are cleaning the mold in the washer with that sprayer device and the mold is getting airborne you should wear a mask and maybe googles so as not to breathe in the mold. Mold ingested can be very bad for you. I love your slippers. I have the same ones

I LOVE my front loader. If you use dry detergent you won’t get the smell. The smell comes from liquid detergent. There is animal oils in it that get trapped in all the dark places. 😊

Love you Andrea Jean!! I wondered if you were going to correct the "burnt on food in the bathroom" comment and you did. You are so funny! That sounds like something I would say. You know, you get carried away talking about something! 😆 No worries. You are great my dear. 😊💕

[@donnawagner8865]

Great video, thanks! Cleaning question: I have clear circles of no-slip plastic on my shower floor. The two near the drain have a brown stain in a line I have not been able to get out. I tried bleach, Vinegar, and regular spray cleaner plus the battery-operated scrubber brush. Any ideas? It is possible it is hair dye from rinsing out my hair in the shower.. Help!

[@AndreaJean]

Those are super tough…. I haven’t found a solution yet 😢

[@riverstone1492]

I have fiberglass shower. Had stains very bad. Try wetting floor, sprinkle heavily with baking soda. Lay old towels over ir. Boil vinegar and carefully pour over towels. Leave overnight. Remove towels and use scrub brush.

Keep life simple with 2 products. Dawn dish spray cleans everything. You can use half box of dye remover along with your detergent on your whites to remove any & all stains and discoloration. FYI, top load machines never have oder. Front load has been known to have that issue. It’s also extremely dangerous if you have young children.

[@annmyers2883]

Hi Again Andre, Woops, I am like you I call things what I want to and the cleaner is CIF. I did get the right one lol

I have an older Shark Navigator Pro and my husband was given an almost-new Dyson from a friend whose wife didn't like it even though they had paid quite a pretty penny for it. When he brought it home, we decided to see which of our vacuums had the most suction power and did the best job on our carpet. We first emptied both vacuum's dirt containers, then did a suction test with our hands on the end of the hose - the suction felt the same. Next, we vacuumed one section of carpet with the Shark and went over it again with the Dyson - there was virtually nothing in the Dyson's dirt container - good job, Shark! Then we re-emptied both vacuum's dirt containers and vacuumed a different carpet section with the Dyson and went over it again with the Shark - there was a pretty noticeable amount of dirt in the Shark's dirt container! Without question, my Shark came in as #1. My husband was shocked and surprised! I'd told him for years that I loved my Shark vacuum and this little test we did together convinced him it was the best of the two vacuums.

Cif used to be called Jif … don’t know why they changed the name, but it’s been around since the early 1900’s, I had an original container from my grandma, until a friend ‘helped’ my clean my kitchen, threw out a lot of antique stuff, but I digress. Cif (Jif) has been a mainstay in Australiafor about 100 years, it used to be a running joke, that if you didn’t have any Jif, you didn’t clean properly. A friend got almost 50 bottles of Jif for her wedding, as a well meaning joke about her cleanin* habits.
