Question: Doesn't the goo gone leave an oily residue or stain?

[@jillwolters6956]

@DoItOnADime: Could you update your shirt folder, please? Dollar Tree no longer sells those sink mats, at least as far as I can find- i’ve looked in at least 7 Dollar Trees in 5 different cities. Is there something else that would work just as well?

[@benbaker2965]

Do the towels smell like vinegar?

[@iamwindchakra]

@@jillwolters6956 my dollar tree has them here in KY. Try their website?

[@KittyKatThrift]

Boo! Only on a "first time order"?? I've been ordering from them for years though!!!

[@nbrah26]

"I feel like I'm at the point in life where I don't want to be more productive, I just want to have less to do." Agree with this so much.

[@iMELANiEdORk]

Yess!!! 😍

[@terrirojas]

YES! That is exactly it!!!

[@BickyToya]

minimalism....im jumping on board and its been GREAT! (not having no stuff just not a ton of excess)

[@Margar02]

I'm not there yet- I could still stand to be more productive, but this is a great philosophy. Even now, it helps me to take a look around and decide where I need to work harder, and where to work smarter. Love this!

[@brittanygoetting3445]

100% this resonated so much with me

[@ucrgrad]

In case no one has told you, you bring us all so much joy especially when we need it.

[@Myeverydaywifelife]

“I don’t want to be more productive, I just want less to do and less choices to make” yes this! Love it! 💜🌿💜🌿💜🌿💜🌿💜🌿💜🌿💜🌿💜🌿💜

[@jackiem9460]

Yes! I think I was born this way. Minimalist for the win!

[@KimberleyB]

Definitely test Fels on an inconspicuous spot on your garment before using it. That stuff can lift not just stains, but the dye. I spot treated a stain and it removed not only the stain but bleached the spot. 😭

[@tammycornwell5968]

I absolutely love your ideas on affordable organizing. I am a truck driver and I find organizing to be the most amazing way to keep my truck clean. I have two dogs on the truck with me and I cook all my food in the truck. I have used many of your ideas and just adapted them to suit life in a semi!

[@bjwalker6099]

A HUGE THANK YOU for all you do in the trucking industry! 🚚 Karen in Missouri 🌹

[@sallydunba6012]

DITTO WHAT BJ EXPRESSED! Truckers keep America supplied with essentials!

[@aliciadupuy9228]

"Less to do and less choices to make." Dear god, lady, you have spoken from my SOUL!!! Im so in that mood rn i wish i could fine a balanced meal plan to just repeat weekly, or even better daily!! I dont need variety, i need EASY

[@kaylynnhall2217]

I'm only 10 but i'm trying to get motivation to clean my room and you are helping a lot 😄

[@UnsweetTeaandMe]

Another tip for stains is Dawn dish detergent! It works every single time! ❤️

[@BickyToya]

same with hydrogen peroxide!

[@lindenpeters2601]

I actually had to use Dawn to remove the oil stains from Goo Gone!

[@kimstewart147]

I use fairy dish soap in the uk. Works amazing too!

[@decompressionstop1464]

Yes it does. I have a Dawn treated clothing in the washer right now.

[@terryjbrown6953]

Yes this is so true!!! About a month ago I got an grease stain on my shirt and I just thought that's the end of that shirt so I threw it down cellar to be washed later thinking it's not going to come out anyway. A few days later I was getting something out from under the kitchen sink and I seen the Dawn Dish Detergent and thought about the Dawn Commercial with the baby duck that was covered with oil I said to myself what the heck it's not going to hurt to try I said to myself yeah right good luck on that 😄😄😄 but it actually took the stain out!!! I was total shocked this is my new best friend 😀 !!! I used to use Oxy Clean but it didn't always get the stains out so I don't even try to use it anymore I go straight to the Dawn and I have used it on other old stains and so far it's taken the stains out!

[@ariancera4138]

I swear is like christmas day to me everytime i get a notification of a new video from you.🎊🎉🌷

[@rosselivargas3196]

Yes!!

[@DoItOnaDime]

🤗🤗 thank you so much for being here!

[@MichelleAlabama]

Paint color?????

[@lynneb8832]

Love this video! I'm determined to make my laundry area in my very unfinished basement with exposed pipes, etc, etc, a pretty place! Any ideas on how to handle the walls, put up shelves and such on concrete? Can't finish it at this time....some day!

[@gailmariage5318]

I now use 1/4 cup baking soda in my HE washer with almost every load and I use white vinegar for the rinse. My towels are SO soft. I have used vinegar for the rinse cycle for years, but it seems that the baking soda really softens them. Also, I use scent free detergent, and wool dryer balls. Love my clean and fresh laundry.

[@meghanhertzog2426]

I don't know if anyone has told you lately you are absolutely beautiful, inside and out offering the best advice and making people feel good about themselves. Thank you for being positive, it means so much more to me than you know.

[@kiwanyvillarin5017]

After this very trying year for humanity and personally as a single parent, I am on the "what works for me is what I will work with". I just ordered a few things to revamp my small laundry space to work for me and make me happy. I love THRED UP!! I de-cluttered and all items I sent to them SOLD!

[@nainagokani3435]

Do you know something? Katherine you are simply wonderful in all you do.You explain everything so simply and it's done.Amazing !

[@Anikkiluv]

I just dropped my kids off at school, sat in my car and noticed a notification from our friend Katherine! Guess I’m gonna sit here for a while 😍

[@sharonhoover644]

😊🤗😚

[@kimmiem2163]

You said it best! "I don't want to be more productive, I just want less things I have to do!" I've been ruthlessly decluttering out home before a big move and I am loving simplistic spaces

[@Flyaway377]

OMG, just a few weeks ago coming out of the shower I noticed the musty smell in my dry, newly laundered towel. I tried your vinegar & baking soda hack and it worked GREAT. My towels now smell CLEAN & FRESH. Thank you so much! TOTALLY LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! Keep them coming💖

[@gibythankam92]

I have always loved the way you end the videos " and if anyone has no told you ' you are enough' " so a thoughtful way to end it.

[@mistyduke880]

I agree with your statement about having less to do. We have physical clutter and things to do clutter. Sometimes you have to clean up both in order to take care of yourself.

[@lyndsiejones3072]

Thank you so much for making this content and being so kind and loving. I have watched you for years to get fun and realistic inspiration on decor and organization on a budget. Over 6 years ago I became a single parent and life became more overwhelming as I was working to go to school, run a daycare in my home, and take care of my six kiddos. Two years ago I remarried a wonderful man and now we have 12 kiddos between us. I use your videos to help teach our kiddos about organization and cleaning. It helps so much to have this safe and quality advice to use in helping as we blend our families and help each realize how much STUFF we don't need in our home and how freeing it is to simplify.

[@angela-hr9mc]

"I feel like I'm at the point in life where I don't want to be more productive, I just want to have less to do." -This gave me such a perspective. Thank you!

[@felicitashilmer1368]

This is going to ring true for so many people. Many of us are tired of trying to manage so much. We no longer are interested in simply being more productive. We want to have less to do and fewer choices to make. So well said, Kathryn!! Love hearing your nuggets of truth! Sending the warmest of wishes from Toronto! Love you!

[@jenniferd264]

Your Boy’s laughter with Copper is the best thing I’ve heard all day 🥰🥰 The Laundry room looks amazing! Fantastic tips!, Thanks for blessing my Day Kathryn! ❤️

[@countrywifelife]

At midnight hahaha I feel that so much, and I love that you enroll your kids in your videos and your chores, you're definitely helping them grow up the right way!

[@suzanneelicker8163]

Thank you for all your years of knowledge on DIY’s and-how toos and what to save and what not and everything you do for all of us out here. You are more than enough. We love you.

[@slsmith-xp2hq]

Mama of 5 here... my biggest tip that has helped sooo much.... i fold my laundry right out of the dryer....i tell myself that if i dont have time to fold that load, i have no business putting in another load! It works very well and keeps my laundry room and mind clear!

[@cutiesue5483]

I started to clean my kitchen the other day and ended up reorganizing all my cabinets. Everytime I organize or reorganize, I find myself thinking, 'What would Katherine do?'. Lol. I love your videos! You are an inspiration!

[@ThankfulNanaDiane]

Thanks for this! I use Goo Gone, but was never sure if it was safe to use on clothing. Since you got a dog fairly recently, I thought I’d share this. I have Norwex dryer balls & used them for a year or so. After a while, I noticed that dog hair (we had 2 large black dogs) was sticking to certain clothes. I had to turn my husband’s dress shirts inside out & use multiple lint roller sheets on the inside AND the outside to get all the dog hair off! I never really bought into the “toxicity” of dryer sheets. I used the dryer balls to save money & waste. I figured if I’m using half a lint roller (no exaggeration!) every time I wash my hubby’s shirts, I’m not saving money or waste. So, I’m back to using dryer sheets. They release any dog hair the washer doesn’t get out, so it goes into the lint trap.

[@ann-louisep7573]

Fels-Naptha is the truth!!! I have used it for years. My High School kids would tell all their friends, “My mom can remove that stain.” So they would show up at my house and I would go town with Fels-Naptha. It never failed me. Make sure to give it time to sit after applying. It makes a big difference. Love your channel and family. Be well ❤️

[@ligiahumaila7010]

Thank you. For honesty, positivity, and for telling me that I am enough.

[@MommaFromScratch]

Yes having less so we don’t have to work so much! I’m trying

[@sarahr9323]

I love your channel!!! You have inspired my home improvement projects SO MUCH! You do an awesome job!

There is no channel on KZbin as good as yours! YOU are enough❤️

I love that you said you started around midnight..and that Carson was still awake lol..that’s always how it goes for us. (:

[@mrsdragon1116]

Dear Kathryn, thank you for all of your videos. You have become one of my favorite You Tube channels not only because of your suggestions and ideas but also because of your obvious desire to inspire and help others.

[@DJMeCa]

Can I just tell you how refreshing your channel is? Always so positive, and filled with amazing ideas! Thanks for all you do!

[@sarahpope6727]

The minimal mom calls having less stuff, having less inventory. It is so freeing since she also says we only use 20% of 80% of our stuff, not just clothes but everything in our house.

[@MrsDonnaMalone]

When I have no inspiration, I come visit you 🥰❤ I love your videos. Thank you.

[@kristiemomma2mini757]

Yay!!! A new Do it on a Dime video!!! Great tips Kathryn and love the laundry makeover!

[@christinebroderick70]

So, I organized my spice and seasoning cupboard with the small long bins from Dollar Tree, eat the “Frog” first, and above all else, I am not alone! These are all life style changes that YOU inspired! Thank you!

[@lovingandlovingturquoisela8043]

Love how it came out! I love that you can reimagine a space that is no longer working without any guilt. I use to always feel guilty if something wasn’t working, like I failed to stay organized.

[@marissasharp9892]

Awww, Carson, Owen, and Copper! My day is made! 🥰 I have cats that love to lay on laundry, as soon as it’s out of the dryer, LOL! Love their warm beds, I guess! 😂 Thanks for cheering me up today! God bless you guys!

[@annecurtin336]

You always make my day brighter - thank you! And Copper is such a great helper, isn't he?

[@janellmcintosh9311]

I am just about reorganize my laundry room! How perfect! As someone who has never been naturally organized or put together, your channel has given me ideas, inspiration and encouragement.

[@msmarisol14]

Hello from California. You have really motivated me to declutter my space. I now have a whole storage room will so much space. I will never live that way again. I feel so much better now. I love you. Thank you so much. God bless you!

[@beautywinsfails8867]

Yes to adding vinegar to the fabric softener compartment in the washer! That’s an excellent tip. I do that for all my laundry whites. 😋

[@michellemorales401]

Oh my gosh! That light is gorgeous!!! Amazing flip! Loving it!!! Getting all the feels! 😍 I have a laundry closet in my rental and the left side is beyond cluttered!!! I am now motivated to tackle it and get it organized!!!

[@AfricanLissy]

Your upgraded laundry room looks beautiful! I love the simple system with 2 baskets to sort kid and adult laundry. Great video! God bless you ❤

[@jeannecharlson9678]

Haha! You are so me! Love at the beginning when you were pulling out and, “Wha, ohhhh, we have masks!” It’s amazing how many things “show up” when decluttering! Love this video! (And, love that you have a husband that helps you! Kudos to Charlie!)

[@peggymarshall5671]

I love this video! I just did my laundry room area! Spray painted the lids to my glass containers to make them match, used empty whiskey bottles for my vinegar and oxi clean white revive. I had an old tray taking up space in a closet so I put felt pads on the bottom so it wouldn’t scratch the top of the washer. Our washer and dryer sit on drawers that makes them taller and I’m 5’2”, so the tray helps me better

[@julietannOsfan1972]

It looks great. In the UK a lot of houses don’t have a utility/laundry room, so have to have the washing machine & tumble dryer in the kitchen. I never fold jumpers & t. Shirts etc. I hang them all on coat hangers in my wardrobe.

[@CyrixOLD]

Same! But we live in the US

[@colleenhowell5679]

AGAIN, you are AMAZING!! You are very gifted in all of these options, organization, refreshing a space, and so MUCH MORE!! THANK YOU for being YOU!

[@lindenpeters2601]

These are great tips! I would like to add that Goo Gone is actually made with oils, so it can leave grease stains and an odor on clothing. Dawn dish soap can remove these stains, but those products plus scrubbing can really take a toll on clothes!

[@Foutzisout]

You are a literal ray of sunshine that I believe everyone needs right now! 🥰 So happy I found your channel!

[@darniataylor7749]

No matter what the video is, I always leave this channel feeling like I can do anything! 😊💜

[@michelehenne2477]

Your dog is so cute. My Cocker Spaniel use to do that to me when I tried to ffg old laundry or make my bed. Now I have 4 cats who do that.

[@michelesoto5919]

😆 I just had a wire shelf put up over my washer and dryer! 😆 I’m going to cover it like you did with DT paper & foam board but with thin wood to give it the wooden look. I rubbery square laundry baskets at Walmart and will be making DT frame sign for each category. Now I can get my big round tubs out and off the floor! When the basket is full its load time & not to big of a load so folding, ironing & putting away Isn’t challenging!

[@charellwilliams799]

I love your videos! Can you please make a video for single mothers who work FULL TIME. My life is chaos between working, cleaning, cooking, juggling remote schooling. I just feel the entire world is on my shoulders and im very overwhelmed.

[@ninak8506]

I so enjoy your videos! Uplifting & fun but right on point. My laundry room drives me a little crazy. I have too much in a tiny little space. I desperately want to remove the wire shelving.

[@TheJoyfulMom]

The goo gone blew my mind! My son has a few shirts that were ruined from name tag stickers so I'm gonna have to try this! Thanks so much!

[@christinebrowning9530]

You can also make your own goo gone! 3 Tbsp Baking Soda and 2 Tbsp of any cooking oil! Easy and no scary chemicals!

[@arcountrygirl7577]

I use goo gone all the time at work. I work in a library.

Kathryn, I'm kicking myself for not taking your advice and using ThredUp earlier. My third ordered arrived the other day and I am over the moon..AND I saved a bundle! I love what you've done to the laundry room. I've recently decluttered, reorganized and decanted my laundry supplies and, even though I've always liked doing laundry, I love using everything in that room even more now. Great tip for washing towels! I have a load to do today and will try it. Thanks for all your ideas and inspiration..you're amazing. Please do more videos like this! XXOO❤

Hey 👋 Kathryn I really love how you simplified your laundry 🧺 room. I love your thread up outfits so beautiful. The laundry baskets for storing kids and adults clothing is so genius.

[@maddy3sonmomma911]

We just redid our pantry and took down the wire shelves. What a clever use for the wire in cabinets. The laundry room is amazing! My washer and dryer are in the basement. We call it the dungeon. Ah maybe someday👍

I just took down my wire shelves in my laundry room yesterday! I have been getting rid of all my clutter because I also don't want to be more productive....I want less stuff to manage! Great video.

[@mariasmiles68]

I just tried the baking soda and vinegar trick for towels, I admit I was skeptical even though you've never steered me wrong before, and what a difference. Thank you Katheryn and Merry Christmas and continued blessings to you and your family.

[@ItsTreen]

Thank you for reminding me that I am enough🥰 Also, thanks for the great tips!

Everytime I see a new video by you Katherine it feels like Christmas morning. I get so excited to see what you have for us.

[@momof2momof2]

A load a day makes a difference. You did a nice job. My laundry room is quite small , so no room for anything but being organized :) I have one shelf that holds laundry needs in Dollar Tree bins. My home is in a light aqua theme and I was so happy to find the aqua bins with the cut outs there a couple of years ago, and just love them. I also have 2 aqua IKEA flexible laundry baskets that I will never, ever not have :) I have a slim plastic cereal container that holds my detergent pods, and another that holds my baking soda mixed with Dollar Tree Awesome laundry booster and grated Zote soap. Time for me to hang up the load I put in the washer last night :) tfs 🍃🍁🍂🌵💗🍃🍁🍂🌵💗🍃🍁🍂🌵💗🍃🍁🍂🌵💗🍃🍁🍂🌵💗🍃🍁🍂🌵💗🍃🍁🍂🌵💗

[@lacy454]

Yes to the free and clear laundry pods! My three year old finally quit saying she was itchy when I switched to the free and clear detergent. And I keep the baking soda in my cabinet in bulk for washing towels too! What I need now is that collapsible laundry basket!

[@rodonnacarson7864]

I make my own laundry detergent with Fels Naptha, Borax, and Arm and Hammer washing powder. I make it into liquid and use white vinegar for fabric softener. I make some every month or two months. I have 6 in my family. Works great. I'm hoping to redo my laundry room soon.

[@andreanicole2006]

The dog on the clean laundry. Love it! Also love when I "accidentally" find a new channel that is exactly where I'm at and what I need...embarking on a complete re-envisioning of myself and how I deal with life, and all these tips are going to fit right into what I'm working on. Question: Trying to gauge how much baking soda you are using per towel load...looks like about a quarter cup or so?

[@goldensmamma]

I wish I had a laundry room.I just have the garage and it's a pass though to go to the backyard. Doesn't make you want to laundry as much as you haven too ! Thank you for my new wish list...

[@butterfly21375]

HI. I do my laundry on Wednesday & Sunday , to save water and power. Sharing my ideas to help others. God Bless.

[@hearsthewater]

Just for future reference, you can wash all of your laundry with the baking soda and vinegar rinse. You do not need all of those petro-chemical based laundry products! The clothes get nice and clean and don't have the nasty residue from the detergents and fabric softeners. And it is better for your family and the environment!

[@melaniethomas3344]

Fels Naptha is also really good for treating poison ivy. Make a paste and have it dry on the poison ivy. It really dries it out. I have a bar in my bathroom just for poison ivy. I've told all my co workers and some of them tried it this summer and it worked
