I love all of these FABULOUS ideas. But nothing beats the image of the missing bread tags and missing socks living their best lives on a commune. Every time I think of that, I get happy. Thank you!

[@Vinniegret]

You can get toilets that have fewer bends and awful places you can only clean if you kneel in front of them and “hug” them. Some are called one-piece toilets. They also sell 1-click removable seats.

[@lorid6544]

May I add a tip? I flip to Nov. or Dec. when I get a new calendar in Jan. for the upcoming year. I write in Nov. or Dec. (whichever works best) what items I need for the holidays. Napkins or tableware or gift tags-those types of things. So when I flip to the months with special holidays I can purchase what I need because by then I will have definitely forgotten what I needed, and the items are listed on my new calendar.

[@tinapack3162]

Great idea. Maybe write recipes or copy recipes and glue it over the pages that most likely will not use. Sometimes it has a notes page. Also jot down where you put all of those items that you will need. Lol.

Rice in the sock also works in the microwave for a neck/ shoulder warmer and relaxer.

[@kimfallen7282]

We've lived in a 1960 built house for 7 years. As we replace Ceiling fans, light fixtures, etc my goal is always "easy to clean (and change light bulbs if applicable). My Husband was like "You don't want the pretty ornate stuff?" No. Lol.

[@Renata_Staszak-Rzanna]

For toilets and toothbrush, maybe in the us it isn't available but in Poland there is something that in my translation is unclipped toilet seat, basically its just what it's called, you can unclipped seat and wash it in bathtub or shower, its not very common but i could not live without it since i discovered that

[@ljcl1859]

I know exactly what you are talking about, so good job with the translation. They aren't very common but I have one too. Some of them are called Lift-off or easy-off. I will never go back to the other type either.

I use wool dryer balls in the dryer. No buying/nor making dryer sheets. I use three. The last for ages. Like years. I highly recommend them.

[@celiameaux7880]

They are noisy though.

[@susanconnolly2013]

We use neither dryer sheets nor balls in the dryer and our clothes come out without any wrinkles. Perhaps it's because I take them out of the dryer fairly soon, smooth and fold them right away and put them away.

[@catetanenbaum2418]

The small forks!! I thought it was my brother when he moved out, but I may have maligned him.

[@Sunshine-fy4fz]

My favorite hack you shared today is using upside-down command hooks on your kitchen garbage can to keep the bag from slipping down inside your can. And I store my plastic shopping bags inside a Rubbermaid cereal container - easy to put in/take out, and it takes up very little space.

[@MDias1316]

I agree with your complaints about nooks and crannies of cleaning. As we built our house, everything I chose was based on how easy it was to clean. Also, we bought one piece toilets, which are a lot easier to clean

[@jeme7339]

Houses and cars should be designed for ease of cleaning!

[@sharonnath9339]

I just got some denture tablets to clean my stained thermos flasks and mugs. I'll try them on my Tupperwares too.

How did you determine if something was easy to clean, do you have some tips or your thoughts?

Gotta get a steamer....it changed my life. I hardly even buy cleaning products anymore.

[@TexasMom68]

[@karrithompson1]

I love these hacks and your channel. When it comes to cooking corn in a cooler though, I wonder if the plastic liner in the cooler was designed to endure boiling water, so chemicals don’t leech into the water and if that plastic is BPA free.

[@beths8998]

I was concerned about this as well!

[@instilltime2014]

I wouldn’t risk the leaching chemicals on my food. Otherwise, every hack is just fantastic, especially the garbage can hooks. Love your channel.

[@NotAFanOfHandles]

While I personally wouldn't do this hack myself - I have a huuuuuuge pot as well as a large roasting pan I could use - I suppose if someone really needed to do it they could first line the cooler with one of those turkey-sized oven bags? Those bags are meant to be food-safe so I guess that should work.

[@highpockets359]

Maybe a food-safe crockpot liner could be used for additional peace of mind.

[@charlottegalbreath7626]

I'm thinking of trying this in my crockpot for a smaller quantity. The boiling water in an already heated crockpot should work well

[@happywanderer6307]

I have never, ever saved a home hacks video - until now. The first one I plan to use is the heavy duty broom in the showers. We have stone floors in them and I scrub them by hand with a small brush. I'm 72 and it's not always easy for me. There were a couple of others - like the over-the-door hangar for outside and that glue stuff to keep things from sliding.

[@NotAFanOfHandles]

Personally I wouldn't do the cooler one because I have several ginormous pots, plus a roasting pan I could use instead, but also the potential BPA/chemical leaching concerns. If you really need to use it, I would recommend first lining the cooler with a *turkey-sized oven bag* as those are food safe and will tolerate boiling water. Pop the bag into the cooler, place the corn inside the bag, then pour the boiling water into the bag. Place a couple of wire racks on top to keep the corn submerged for even cooking and you should be good to go.

[@margaretbedwell3211]

Thanks for so many helpers. My favorite it using the dish wash sponge and handle thing for cleaning in the shower. That is going on my list of things to pick up at the Dollar Tree. Another was the glue stick....how simple, yet why had I not thought of it. I subscribed so I wouldn't miss any other hints and tricks. See, you can teach an old dog new tricks....I'm 84 and learned several new tricks today.

[@judyanderson8782]

Since you're elderly like me, here's a hack for getting clothes out of the dryer. Get a grabbie from Harbor Freight. When clothes are dry and you can't get that sock in the far back of the dryer without excessive reaching, use your grabbie.

[@margaretbedwell3211]

@@judyanderson8782 Thank you Judy, That gives me an idea to use that grabber (which I do have) for getting some of the laundry from my washer also. It is so deep that sometimes even on tip toes I still can't reach the wayward piece. I appreciate you reminding me that grabber can be used somewhere else besides my pantry.

[@bobbiegallia1188]

[@skedaddlebaker]

Those caster wheels are genius, need those on my kitchenaid!

[@ThankfulNanaDiane]

Lots of great ideas here! An instant pot will also give you eggs that practically peel themselves, either fresh out of the pot or after refrigerating! Also, a denture brush is even better than a toothbrush for getting into those little crevices! The bristles are stiffer, and they have a section of longer bristles on the end. I buy them for that very purpose, because nobody in our house has dentures. 😊

[@mrwormtester]

Instant pot eggs. 2 minutes on high pressure, 3 minute natural release. Never going back :)

[@Em22-wtf]

Lol, I use those denture cleaner tabs to clean plastic food containers when they get any kind of stains in them, esp from Speg sauce!

[@donnabacon4681]

​@@Em22-wtfAnother idea, is to use spray oil on the inside of a plastic container and that will prevent the tomato based sauces from staining the container. I just spritz and then spread around with my hand to save on product

[@janicebell5925]

I wonder if you’d ,ind giving us suggestions with recipes for a hit pot. My niece gave me one a few months ago and talked him thru making homemade yogurt for me, it was excellent . I broke my hip twice in a roll and I kept getting thrush on my tongue from the antibiotics. The first break was a couple of days after the brakes out on my car because I was pumping my brakes trying to get my Equinox to stop. I totaled a police car, a public works truck,and someone’s brand new Chevy Impala. Janice

[@donnabacon4681]

@@janicebell5925 OH! MY! Hope you are OK! That has to be scary!!

[@NonniMcMac]

Denture brushes work better than toothbrushes since they have a larger head and stiffer bristles. I also use denture tablets in vases that have "crud" left behind from flower stems or leaves. Just rinse the vase, fill it with water, toss in a denture tablet and leave it overnight. In the morning, the remaining crud will easily rinse out.

[@amyosborn4604]

I use them to clean my hairbrushes every day. Just basically removing the hair - you can use the smaller tip to scrub product off after soaking the hairbrush in water with a drop of dish soap every once in a while.

13:27 what also works really well is a tube cover from a cloth folding chair (best way I can describe it). Our cloth folding chair broke but the tube cover was still perfectly fine. We now use it for all of our plastic bags and let me tell you, that tube holds a heck of a lot of plastic bags 😊

Aging-in-Place 'Hack': If you have mobility issues, you must hate having to use base cabinets for storage, especially the sink base cabinet. Instead of using a variety of extendable shelves, stacking bins, or shelf risers, look into installing extension shelves. They come in a variety of widths and depths, to work with the unique volume configurations of the space in sink base cabinets. Some include a second tier shelf narrow enough to thread the space between pipes and the cabinet side. They can be mirrored on each side of the base cabinet, then a long thin bin can be placed between the two for additional storage. NO MORE KNEELING TO REACH THE BACK OF THE BASE CABINET!

[@angelacarroll9750]

The one with toilet cleaning. I've been doing this for over 30yrs. Although I use the paper for the top & rim, and a brush for the bowll. You can flush the paper, instead of throwing out sponges or rags. You're the first person I've seen doing the same thing. 😊

I’ve been doing the hanger trick (#14) for years. Works like a charm.

[@judithmcfarland943]

Me, too! Mine came out of necessity. During recovery, when I had my hips replaced, I was unable to stand and walk for long periods of time. So when it came to laundry, I simply figured this one out on my own. I also found that shaking t-shirts from the bottom hem and holding at the seams was much more efficient for straightening the shirt out for folding and hanging.

[@annw1395]

My hardboiled egg shells always stuck until I tried this hack I saw: bring the water to a rolling boil first, and THEN add the eggs. Simmer about 14 min. I also put them straight into ice water when they're done, but that alone wasn't enough. It's the rolling boil that made the difference. Lots of good ideas here!

[@sstephens2175]

Maybe that's why the streaming method works so well. I boil the water first.

I literally had to pause this on the TV so I could comment on my phone that there is NO way my type of lazy is like yours! Like seriously 😂💚 I was pretty proud of myself for already implementing a few of these (including putting command hooks on our outdoor shop so we would have towel spots for our pool). Those little casters are amazing and I’m going to have to add hooks to my trash can so we can start doing that!

[@sammi-joreviews1135]

I will be grabbing an outdoor broom like the one you show for cleaning the shower floor! We had our shower (actually, it was the entire master bathroom) remodeled. The shower from when the house was built was a boxy yellow color (late 1960s-early 1970) was hideous, so the contractors tore it out. They were able to remove this tiny corner cubby, which allowed us a larger shower with thin type shower wall pieces going over the wet room drywall & the shower floor with heavy water barrier & base with grouted tile. The whole bathroom is beautiful, esp the extra roomy shower! It is becoming more & more difficult for me to get down on all fours to scrub the tile. I’ll be buying a detergent fillable dish scrubber for the shower walls & the bathtubs. Thanks for all the cleaning hacks, but esp so for the ones above. I’m mid-50ish, heavy on the -ish. Any cleaning hack that makes life easier is worth it.

[@chrisdalebout5106]

I like the hanger hack. For shining refrigerators, faucets, counter tops ,stoves and a lot of other things. Have you ever heard of Jubilee kitchen wax? It also makes cleaning easier the next time you clean. 🙂

[@MelindaLee]

My mom’s best tip for cloth dishcloths: run water in the sink, add a bit of bleach, add the dishcloths, let them soak, and then rinse them (or put them in the washing machine). Gets rid of the grungy stink and leaves your sink sparkling!

[@bernerandgoldenmom7143]

These are brilliant! Thanks! I'm stealing a bunch! 😁I love the idea of storing occasionally used items (e.g., a turkey roaster) elsewhere so it doesn't take up valuable space like in the kitchen. I do this with any linens for the holidays. My Thanksgiving and Christmas linens, potholders, tea towels, aprons, kitchen towels, etc. are all stored with the Christmas decorations so they don't take up room in my linen closet. The best part though is that I'm not tearing the linen closet apart trying to find them right before Thanksgiving dinner is served.

[@NLY1WAY4U]

Dollar tree has a cup holder with lid along with toothbrushes that I use. I use permanent markers on handles to identify use. Also after use, soak in hydrogen peroxide to sanitize.

[@RLaraMoore]

I like to use color to identify things. Red for "toxic" use only. Like for cleaning toilets or using with chemical cleaners. So I would only use red toothbrushes for "dirty" cleaning. (Red kitchen utensils for raw meat) And then, I do not use any red toothbrushes for brushing teeth.

It's amazing how many things I've found to do with those DT wands that you can stick all the attachments to. I dust my walls, ledges above doors, vents, they're good for quick spill clean up or getting under furniture to dust. Ceiling fans, baseboards. Anything basically you'd need to reach or bend down to clean

The hanger thing... How have I not thought of that. Also the tape to hang pictures. Thanks!!!

[@claudiag.3036]

The dry erase marker on the dryer idea is genius. I ALWAYS forget to hang certain things, and inevitably shrink and ruin most of my husband’s shirts. 😰

[@TheWendy321]

We have a separate laundry basket for all shirts that have to hang dry. That way the entire load is stuff that doesn't go in the dryer. Much easier than trying to remember to hang one or two things. The dry erase marker looks like it might work well but I really like keeping those items separate.

[@claudiag.3036]

@@TheWendy321 I love that idea! That would work so much easier since my husband is on a completely opposite schedule. He can just throw those items in the hang basket. Thank you!

Love the toilet paper in the toilet rim idea!!!!! BRILLIANT!

Thanks for the hacks, Kallie. Here are a couple for you. Most children's toys can be washed in either the dishwasher or the washing machine. For example, I used to throw my son's Lego pieces in a mesh laundry bag and spread it out on the top rack of the dishwasher. No scrubbing. And, for "sealing" drafty windows and glass doors, spray down the glass with water and then press on a sheet of bubble wrap large enough to cover the glass. Use more sheets as needed to cover glass entirely and just respray the glass when the bubble wrap starts peeling off. This prevents drafts and keeps the house much warmer and cheaper to heat. Looking forward to your next hack video. Thank you! ~ Lisa

I love the hanger hack. That air freshener would work great in my trash drawer. I love using a tooth brush to clean with! If your roll your lemons or limes before you slice it , it makes it juicer. I've used that missing bread tag for years! Thanks for the mango hack!! Love those wheels! Love the picture hanging hack.

[@michellebowman5251]

I’ve done the hanger thing forever. It definitely seems to save time.

[@sarahpfeuffer1396]

So far I love the DIY dryer sheets and the hanging clothes hacks. I think these will save me time and money!! Thank you! the cooking corn in a plastic cooler concerns me because the plastic has chemicals that can leach into our food, especially when it gets hot.

Use napkins soaked with lemon juice to remove rust, if you don't have enough lemon or big glass

A bag for plastic bags. I bought a long handmade bag with openings on both ends, finished with an elasticated hem. You can put the plastic bags in the same way you have shown. It can be stored hanging on the back of a door

All my "do not dry" items go in wash bags, which is where they mostly go anyway because I don't want them rubbing/stretching among the general population in the wash. I do also put all socks in wash bags for loss-prevention, but obviously you can tell which bag that is during transfer and go ahead and throw that one in to dry.

[@allein1001]

I do wash bags for a lot of my hang-to-dry shirts, too. I have a lot of identical ankle socks (the ones that come in a pack of six pairs or more) so I got a pack of big safety pins and I pin them together when I take them off. They're already paired when they come out of the dryer and each pair wears out at roughly the same rate. (I've tried the bag for socks but some of them would always still be slightly damp and then I'd have to put them back in.)

I like that she gets to the point and talks fast. 👍🏽

I use a vegetable brush for my toilet. The regular toilet brush doesn't get under the rim very well. I use a magic eraser on my tub after using the dish brush like you have. It takes off more than the brush does. It surprised me at how much more dirt it took off. I use baking soda in the washer with the detergent and vinegar in the rinse cycle. Clothing has minimal static coming out of the dryer. Enjoyed the tips!
