1 Minute Home Hacks...So Easy Anyone Can Do!

[@kellygaudet2281]

Good hacks Liz. Also for the bathroom garbage you could add a little felt used for bottom of chairs. stick it on and you can re add oil when you want.

[@micheleleso1181]

Yes , and better if you have pets ….a lot of oils are toxic to pets ….so if the do get into it it’s stuck to the inside of the can , and not just on a cotton ball !

[@trishcraft]

I appreciate you trying all these things out. With the tape I find it easier to fold the end sticky sides together to make a small flap. No paperclip needed. I also use a clothespin for the nail. Also put a magnet on your hammer and you won't drop nails or have to put them in your mouth to hold on to them. 🙂

[@anicoleww]

Magnets on screwdriver to keep from dropping screws also works great!

[@Lana-ir2fo3uj2q]

I agree with folding the end of the tape. I've always done that and it works better than a paper clip. Liz try it out. You'll love it❤

[@lynnharris7054]

Same thing here with the tape, just a small fold and no more hassle trying to find the starting end lol.

[@janisthompson2458]

Hi Liz Two Comments, I use the Dollar General small razors blades to get the labels off, they work great and come three to a package, I think. The other hack is for watering your plants if you put the water in 24 hours before you water it will let the Clorene settle which makes it much better for your house plants .. Thank you for your great hints..

[@KarenBees]

Chlorine does not settle; however you can leave the tap water in sunlight-it will degrade the chlorine

[@Chris-ic6bp]

Using razors to remove labels??? Seems excessive and wasteful to me.

[@aracelirainone8559]

Hi Liz!! Another option for trash bags in your car: I have a roll of doggie poop bags in each door. They are compact, easy to grab and you can dispose of the trash at any stop you make.

[@michelledurdin8564]

Me too

[@lynesesarazen3066]

Thanks for the idea!

[@dianeb4717]

Great hacks! A few drops of essential oil will also remove the sticky residue from labels. Drop the oil in the area then wipe off with a paper towel I place a paper towel under my plastic trash bags. Drop a small amount of essential oil on the towel and it helps eliminate odors. Love your tips and craft ideas!

[@krissy012p]

Using dry goods as filler for jars is genius. You've inspired me! It's such a cozy look.

[@patsummer135]

I use WD-40 to remove sticky labels & residue, it works great!

[@debbieborn202]

I love that you do hack videos. I bought an electric knife for 50 cents at a yard sale. I don't use it to cut food but it works great on styrofoam or thick cushion foam. It does make a mess like scissors or a regular knife.

[@joanwalford1959]

Love the orange juice bottle hack. You can also use the little tab from your bread bag to put at the end of the tape as well.

[@jo-annemurphy2921]

I actually really liked the way the plant looked with the two different colored Dry Goods in the jar. Also if you just fold over the very end of your tape that works without using anything. Nurses use this all the time on medical tape

[@Senefra]

I've been using the acetone (active ingredient in nail polish remover) trick for years. From experience, here's some extra tips that I've found to be most effective. *Make sure what you're using is 100 percent strength (sold in the cosmetic section under "professional strength" or check the craft or hardware sections/stores for full strength and dilute as needed). *In a well ventilated space (those with respiratory conditions and/or eye sensitivity use a mask and goggles) fold up a paper towel & soak it, then hold a few seconds firmly over label residue. *Rub downwards in the same direction (rubbing back and forth will spread residue further instead of fully removing) towards the bottom edge of container, folding the towel to a clean side if it starts to build up. *Once surface is clear, remove any excess on the edge of container, safely dispose of acetone paper towel, hand wash container with hot soapy water, and rinse thoroughly, allowing it air dry, then use as needed. *Also same trick works to remove sharpie labeling on glass containers, just use a little less acetone and wash container immediately. *DO NOT use this technique on plastic containers, especially hard plastic, as it will damages, etch and cloud those surfaces. *Finally, just to be extra, if you don't like labels on the lid, either spray paint or hand paint the exterior only to match your aesthetic. Additionally, if you don't have paper clips, use a clean toothpick, either pressed vertically on the seam of the tape with a bit of the pick popping out the edge or on the edge of tape end horizontally with the pick sticking out so you can pull the end up and use the tape easily.

[@nicolepyne7966]

I like the layered look of quinoa and beans in the recycled jar and stems. Maybe some twine or ribbon around the threading at the top would be cool.

[@emilyoconnor1201]

Great tips! To get the sticky residue off of your jars, mix a paste of oil (and old vegetable oil, not the expensive stuff) and baking soda, smear it on the jar until all of the sticky stuff is covered, let sit for 30 minutes to an hour, and then just wash it off with dawn. So simple, uses stuff already in the house, and no real work is involved. This works best if the entire label is removed, with no paper left.

[@gailmiller6333]

Emily O’Connor Thanks so much for the DIY. It works great plus safe and natural. No more “Goo Gone.”

[@Chris-ic6bp]

I just use a little vegetable oil on my palms, rub it on the glue residue on the jar... let it sit for a while on the kitchen counter...wash it off the next day when you wash dishes. SIMPLE. No need for other products... And you are not breathing in toxic acetone fumes!!!! Occasionally a second oil film treatment is needed.... but not typical. .

[@lizhoward9754]

Love, love these clever hacks! Only Liz and Delaney are able to simplify things so well.

[@annecurtin336]

Your flour trick is genius! And I agree with you about the stems needing to be covered.

[@lorettafaulkner1194]

My Mom used to do that, used the watering jug for when we barbecued for when the fire flared up. During that time grills didn't have lids

[@DScott585]

Use a hair dryer on your labels and they come off like a dream!!! Never failed me yet. Thanks for the hacks!!!

[@debplum]

Love these hacks! We use the cereal container trash can idea in our bathroom in our camper. A lot of camper bathrooms don't have a ton of floor space and the cereal containers fit in the small spaces.

[@waynelauracary9565]

All these hacks are great and useful. Must look for the fig leaf plant and foam moss…loved that option! Chopstick mail holder and lentils for rocks, genius! Thanks Liz!

[@kfine9310]

Cool hacks! My favorite is the chopsticks lol 😁 Another suggestion for removing adhesive, rubbing alcohol can help with that. I work in the hospital and when there's a residue left on the skin from medical tapes or any adhesive, I use alcohol to remove it.😁

[@alaineacarter6216]

I use alcohol too, it’s great! Also blasting tags with a blow dryer helps them come off easily and really cuts down on having leftover residue.

[@kfine9310]

@@alaineacarter6216 same here!!😃

[@crystaln6988]

i have a really bad lower back and sweeping/mopping is torture, so i bought a smart robot vac last year. life saver.

[@deaneclark6469]

I love your foam moss planter hack, beautiful! I love, love your DT fern hack w/ the lentils,...genius and beautiful!❤️ I love your tape & flour hack, awesome! As always Liz, thank you for sharing your hacks and tips & tricks with us! Stay safe, healthy and positive! God bless you and your family! Have a fantastic weekend!🙏❤️🇺🇸😊

[@joygwilliam5388]

I like the stems covered when there are multiples. If just one piece of greenery then I like it showing.

[@anicoleww]

I use a lighter to lightly run back and forth over sticky labels to soften or melt the glue and they peel right off with no residue or paper left behind.

[@paintersinasnap6427]

Wow what a Great product Yedi is on my Christmas wishlist!

[@tiffanysantana7333]

With the nail polish hack if you get a harder scrubber instead of cotton swabs it will work so much better.

[@azaleacherizola1394]

Thank you Liz for your great ideas. Also l never throw old or rancid oil away as l use it to remove the glue from glass or plastic anywhere is necessary l just pour enough to cover the glued space let it rest for an hour and rub it off in one direction with a paper towel, depending on the kind and amount of glue you might have to repeat but works really well. God bless

[@paularecker6428]

Love the plant hack. I will be trying this for sure. I be doing the garbage bag in the car. Thanks for the great ideas Liz!

[@robinbench3969]

The paperclip idea is genius!!

[@kathyhabben9485]

Definitely using the oven mitt one. I have brand new oven mitts and they are laying on countertop because I don’t have anywhere to put them! Thank you!!

[@odeeroberts371]

Love it when you put your favorite hacks on! I like the idea of using dried ingredients to hide your plant stems. Thanks for all your hacks and DIYs!!

[@veronicasalas365]

Hi Liz! Yes, definitely like with covering stem’s looks great!

[@chicka-boom7540]

You can also fold the end of the tape over itself on the sticky side so it won't stick back onto the main roll.

[@michellemasters6857]

To remove leftover sticky label debris..... GOO GONE!!! All day girl... it's my must have & go to for everything when it comes to removing sticky!!! Guaranteed!!😊

[@ragingsmirk68]

I also have color permanent markers to touch up the white moss areas.

[@jessicaflores2616]

I like the hooks inside the cabinet to hang the oven mitts.

[@amyhowson2824]

Green flocking will cover that white area on the moss also.

[@pcodignoni9344]

That paper clip n tape hack is genius

[@vickidunkle3698]

Liz I'm trying them all except pickle jar!

[@wavyliketheocean3486]

Good day beautiful Liz! Can’t wait to see what you got In stored. Thank you for sharing your awesome hacks and tips. Have a blessed week.

[@christinekoplas317]

Goo gone and a toothbrush work great for sticky label removal!

[@kbencsik1]

Thanks for all the great ideas. Lemon essential oil works great to get rid of label glue.

[@cynthiataylor.6690]

My fave is the quinoa/lentil plant filler!!!

[@kkabsher4601]

You can always get the moss rocks at DT and cut and place to cover the white and they’ll blend in better. I love those planters.

[@pattyashcraft4518]

Love the idea for a trash container for the car. Always enjoy your channel.

[@jacquelineguyer1387]

Thanks for the hacks! I really love the chopsticks for holding the nail hack...I've never seen that one before. I always hit a finger when hammering. The tree turned out really nice. Like your nails!

[@debbiefriedt7264]

Hi Liz! I like the lentil & rice idea for stem coverage. Using dry products from the pantry is a good way to use them when they are expired. 😊😊

[@sondra919]

Ok, that whisk trick is brilliant!

[@margieflores936]

Will definitely use the whisk and flour hack!!!

[@gailpulley198]

I love your channels, Liz! You always have such helpful things to try! I love how your mind works! Thank you!

[@pamelagreen1291]

I liked the hack for the oven mitts...very cool idea

[@diannemiller7872]

Looks great with the additional layer. No stems

[@jillspianomusicstuff9972]

I've done the cereal container/car trash for years! My husband teases me about keeping the trash fresh. 😆

[@lindacomer2296]

Any time I have a label to remove, I use my blow dryer. It works on all surface types I’ve tried. Heat the label and peel. Wha-la!

[@kelliesnow4634]

you can use the lemon EO to take off the sticky labels on your jars

[@hildiborkowski4436]

To remove labels on jars, the easiest way I have found is to spray Pam (or usr regular vegetable oil on paper towels) on the sticky residue , let it sit for a few minutes and rub the area. You may have to reapply the spray. The labels will come off cleanly and you will just have to wash the oil off the jar with regular dish soap. I find it works very well for me.

[@captgray2000]

Love paperclip hack with tape.

[@Ella1185]

Thanks . I am from Canada/ Victoria B.C.

[@debbied3116]

Such wonderful ideas for the home!! Thanks for sharing!

[@elviagalvan78]

Essential oils with cotton ball….gonna definitely try that!

[@MamaPapaBabyBear]

I used one of the command hooks and a cell phone ring holder to keep my car trash can from flying around the car. It keeps it in place and is accessible to the driver even though I keep it on the passenger side.

[@nicoleg72]

I am going to use the oil and cotton ball hack in my bathroom!

[@patkerner1121]

Love the chop stick and paper clip hacks.

[@suzetteorcholski323]

The flour one was neat. Most of the others I do now or new about.

[@mrs.gutzmer4002]

I love the flour hack! Definitely gonna try

[@kathyfowler582]

I Love these kind of videos. I will be using a few of these ideas. Thank you for sharing!!

[@karendinkel9040]

You know someone is on another level of clean when they have to add crumbs to the floor to test a vacuum 😂

[@tammymitchell4770]

I totally love your videos! These hacks are beautiful, creative &resourceful. The faux tree and plant jar are my favorites!

[@conniebridges6885]

I love all your hacks! You are so crafty and creative. Thank you!

[@carmendoyle9786]

I use a water bottle that has the push top works great I fill two three of them so they room temp ! Gadradd bottles work best ! Twist top ones

[@jls2915]

Spay PAM on the label remnants let set and wash with hot soapy water when you do dishes

[@maileiaoshea8820]

I absolutely love your ideas for the hacks especially the one for hammering nails w/chopsticks. I try not to hit my thumb but no matter how hard I try not to I always do.

[@adelemessier7177]

Liz another way to get sticky residue off jars and things is use olive oil on paper towel Also, make a paste with hot water and baking soda and rub on sticky spots. Also for tape fold forward a little piece at start and that’s a way to dog ear so easy to start tape next use. Thanks for all you do. I love the content

[@darlenedavis8690]

Citrus essential oil removes sticky residue great too. For my car trash can, I got a small round wet wipes container and use doggie poop bags in it. the bags are the perfect size and cheap at $tree. it fits in my cup holder perfectly. love the chopstick hack.

[@jennyshopp3651]

Cute idea, using pantry items

[@elisahiggs5864]

I will be using the car trash can and few more of the hacks. Thanks for sharing

[@ggymnastgirl]

Use citrus to take off the sticky from the labels!! So so easy, if you’re the type to have essential oils on hand it just takes a few drops and loosens right up :)

[@marybrooks4196]

Also eucalyptus oil works well

[@kellieroth1710]

Love the idea of the essential oil in the garbage pail!

[@junelovvorn3221]

I totally enjoyed these hacks.

[@sharonsomers4949]

Definitely doing the car trash bag…I’m the after school taxi for my grands three to four days per week

[@RaisingHalfaDozen]

The chopsticks nail holder & paper clip tape were great ideas! Thanks!

[@darlenestrunk3730]

You also use the plastic tab that comes on your bread or rolls.🦋

[@coleenrich]

I use peanut butter to get off sticky residue. Put a layer of peanut butter on, let it sit for a while and it comes off perfectly.

[@vickidunkle3698]

Hey Liz just want you to know you have "Hands Down" the very best intro music on You Tube!

[@robinwoods756]

Liz thank you so much for these hacks I will be using quite a few of these.

[@sandragoss48]

I am going to use the car trash can hack. Thank you, Liz.

[@theresarathell4686]

I use an empty coffee creamer ,but I think I will try a shampoo bottle because I have alot of succulents in little antique animal planters,and you can control exactly where the water goes

[@joanneshaw3071]

Love the hack with the chopsticks! I always hit my finger or thumb with the hammer 😩. Also a great way to get any sticky residue off any surface is adhesive remover wipes. They’re only small. I use them when I’m doing a patients wound care to remove the previous sticky bandage

[@judirothstein9897]

For the car trash can you can used the doggie poop pick up bags on a roll. This way it can stay rolled u nice and neat. Also the little dog bones that hold the dog bags come in all different designs so you can keep them in some thing you like and it is neat and cute and you always have a replacement bag at hand. Liz I love all your ideas. I’m a former crafter that suffers from depression and anxiety. As you know to craft you need a clear mind to make the best crafts. Well because of the pandemic I spoke with my therapist virtually. She saw how down I was, She knew how much I loved crafting in my younger years. Not having a lot of money and always looking at pretty things that I wished I could have, I bought myself a glue gun and I was on my way. It helped me to make extra money in my spare time being a mother of 4 kids in 5yrs and always looking and finding a bargain. I made center Pieces for birthday parties communions confirmations. I made party gifts to give out after a party. I was the first in my neighborhoods to make Hanukkah wreath even though I was not Jewish but my husband was. It also kept me busy and I made a lot of friends. I taught a few friends how to make certain crafts once a week. Well she turned me onto your U tube videos at the age of 60yrs old and I realized once a crafter always a crafter. It really gave me back happiness and I started feeling like I accomplished something when I would make a craft or put wallpaper on an old piece of furniture. I used the pant for clothes and made my 5 grandchildren T-shirts, smocks for school crafts and mix and match sweat outfits with painting something simple on the leg of a sweat pant and on the top corner of the sweat shirt. The kids wore them all winter and saved my daughter a lot of money. Now she is planning to make Somme cute outfits for the fall.So to anyone out there if I could put my depression to sleep or on the back burner just buy taking out that same old glue gun and starting to crafting anyone can. Liz gave me great ideas and while doing crafts I am working a long with her and I don’t feel a lone. Thank you sweetheart you gave this old lady happiness and looking forward to life again!!

[@terrikelley9785]

I like the jar much better with the two layers. Great ideas. I love your videos!

[@averysgranny]

Liz I would have to make a fairy garden under that tree..

[@gioiacasterline4835]

Love the oil idea foe the trash can

[@lisabaybee]

Omg I love your home hacks!!! You're such a wonderful person. Thank you for sharing this! Much Love 🤗🌹🌷

[@myrnaayala9690]

Thanks for these hacks

[@thebusybees2006]

Thank you

[@Jamiesplace46]

You can also use limited essential oils to help get label sticking us off of jars

[@kellymace317]

Love the car trash bag holder. Also I've used pliers to hold the nail.

[@letticiasmith5303]

Instead of using nail polish remover/acetone to remove labels, I find that cooking oil or Pam spray loosens the gummy adhesive. Then I scrub with hot, soapy water. That way I don't wreck my manicure that I worked so hard on.

[@virginiathomasakaicedragon6579]

Pure acetone or acetone or a Polish remover with acetone works the best

[@minicaestilette3010]

Love these hacks I'm gonna try a few
