HOW TO CLEAN THRIFT FINDS | INSANE Before & Afters! The BEST Products to Make Your Items Look NEW!

Buying used furniture can be intimidating or even gross, but in today's video I'm sharing products, tips, and tricks that will help you clean and restore your thrifted items! I used to be scared to thrift because I didn't want to buy dirty or damaged secondhand items, but once I got over that fear, I discovered some incredible products that can help breathe new life into these old items. I will teach you how to clean and repair commonly thrifted materials, as well as the products I use to clean and repair these items. Links below:

Tip: Always take anything bought second hand that is material, straight to the washer. Throwing it on your bed or sofa immediately may be a bad idea ❤️

Definitely! Thanks for the tip!

I like using a food grade mineral oil to restore wood that is really dried out. It makes such a difference in bringing out the wood grain.

Does it really?! I’ve never heard of that and will have to give it a try! Thanks for sharing 💛

Yes, it's the same thing used on wood cutting boards.

For garments/curtains/fabrics I normally fill the bath with tepid water and some white vinegar and a tablespoon of Baking Soda. I also pre-treat by sprinkling baking soda on any stains. Soak for a few hours, keeping an eye to make sure no dye bleeds. You will be surprised at how dirty the water gets especially on coats! You may have to do this a couple of times depending on the filth. I think this is called "Stripping". I then rinse the item and then squeeze out excess water before putting it into the washing machine to do a cycle. The Baking soda acts as both a stain remover and deodorizer.

Thrifting also usually gives $ to charity. I like to shop where children benefit.
