Testing Cleaning Products!!! (they work!)

[@IsabellT87]

You can actually avoid the gunk and the mold in the washingmachine if you leave the door open after wash to air dry 😉

[@sandrawilson2781]

Try Dawn dish washing soap to get the grease stains out of your shirt. Usually works for me most of the time.

[@katiesimpson7982]

I came here to say the same. Dawn is the best for grease!

[@MommyD1998]

Dawn always works for me too

[@jaybes7590]

Yep - was going to comment the same.

[@led_5226]

It works so well for me that it's all I use for stains. I also keep the Dawn squirt bottles in the laundry room and bathroom. That's usually where I need it!

[@rachelballinger]

Thanks for the tip!

[@UnboundedArtandCrafts]

To prevent mold and build up in those types of washing machines (I'm in the Netherlands so they are normal here) 1 never close the door fully when it's not in use 2 ease up on the liquid detergent softening stuff or even better don't use any 3 use white vinegar instead of the softening stuff, you don't need much. It will degrease, de mold, kill bacteria and helps with smells. Just don't overdo it as it can damage the machine.

[@led_5226]

I do this. Vinegar for softener. At least a ¼ of the liquid detergent they tell you, if not less. I use the wool balls in the dryer and no longer use dryer sheets.

[@m0t0b33]

I use a rag to wipe up that part of the machine and the interior too, then leave it ajar. if it tries something funny, it just goes away with a universal cleaning wet wipe or antibacterial one... pretty standard. Also, what do you mean by "liquid detergent softening stuff"? Do you mean liquid detergent, liquid water softener ( like Calgon, for example), or fabric softener?

[@UnboundedArtandCrafts]

@@m0t0b33 fabric softener is what normally goes into that compartment

[@t.bequine2101]

I have the damp duster at home from scrub daddy and it’s insane!!!! I can never get the cat hair off the top of my toilet and that thing changed that!!! It’s incredible!

[@tacyheisey4568]

Rachel, on any berry or dark fruit boiling water makes it disappear. You usually have you before you wash it though so maybe you’re staying clean or is good since you already washed the shirt a couple times. On things with protein, chocolate milk, things like that cold water gets those blood, but on dark fruits and grapes and wine dark wine use Boiling hot water. Good luck oh and it’s free.

[@ChrisRayne]

That gray sponge is safer on paint than a magic eraser cuz it's less abrasive

[@mers624]

Rachel do you have front loader washing machine? There is a magnet product on Amazon that holds the front door open but not too open where it’s in the way. Really helps with the moldiness. Might be a good one to test 🤓

[@hollymarie113]

Just got out of a 4 hour exam can’t wait to watch! Love these!

[@karentee9529]

I have found the Fels-Naptha laundry bar to work the best, even on old stains. It might require 2-3 washings if really old, set in stains, but have yet to have a stain defeat it! 😊

[@LittleCutieABDL]

In my 20s and loving seeing these cleaning videos and decorating and learning anything and everything house DIY or outside and if nothing else in my life right now going great these types of videos and asmr 👌🏻 all I need; thanks Rachel 🩷😘💁🏻‍♀️ Much love, as always, ~ Mila 👒

[@MorganFrye-ob5cw]

YES I LOVE MY DAMP DUSTER

[@noblesprings]

I love my screen daddy so much. Some of my shirts aren’t the right texture to clean my screen and I always have it

[@smashygilmore]

The grey sponge thing is a scrub daddy duster. Its great for dusting (obviously) but you need to wet it otherwise it dries up and gets hard

[@lynnejohnston8922]

Big Thank you Rachel and Emily for once again pulling out another absolutely awesome video as always your videos never disappoint us all and I absolutely love watching Rachel testing out products so we don't have to buy them so thank you very much Rachel for taking the time out to do all these awesome videos as always you put in a 💯 percent in every single video that you post and i would like to take the time out to appropriate all the hard work that you put into making all these awesome videos as well you are a absolutely fantastic person with a heart of gold 💛 and so is Emily as well 💛and I hope Abbie is keeping well she is a absolutely fantastic person as well with a heart of gold as well💛 I hope the dogs 🐕🐕🐕 and cat 🐈are keeping well...,,

[@elizabethevans918]

RACHEL I LOVE THIS!

[@brianathompbt]

I was rooting for the sponge, I have one and I LOVE IT. It becomes very hard when it dries up. And rehydrates easily.

[@brianathompbt]

Also! The sponge will pick up animal hair off couches.

[@rachelballinger]

WHAT?!?!?!

[@mers624]

Sold. Take my money

[@margaretshannon36]

Hiii Rachel your truly amazing love you and the fam

[@jennifertanser6796]

The dust sponge works great for cleaning screen doors or window as well. ☺️

[@PrincessPeyten]

Good afternoon Rachel sending you love from Texas😁😁😁

[@emilywisby1975]

My toddler while Rachel was cleaning: “shoe wee!!!”

[@chelseajenner5648]

Scrub daddy has a good micro fibre cloth and it doesn’t feel like a normal one and works so well

[@christinahaythorne3633]

Chalk can help with grease stains or the stain devils for grease

[@navygirl54]

Keep your washer door open when not in use. Then you will bot have mold

[@Thelooneylink]

Get the baseboard sponges and scraper from Temu less than $1

[@mrsc.jeans28]

I could see those Screen Daddy things being useful in vehicles for those touch screens! 🤨

[@Angelahooward2]

The scraper is also great for glass stove tops it gets the stuff stuck off

[@aprilchiginsky7560]

Best stain remover is Zote brand bar soap. Walmart has it for $1.25. there's original and for whites and nothing works better. Even for older stains that have been there for ages. Get the spot wet and rub the bar on the spot, throw in the wash and boom no stains!! Keeps socks really white too if you use the for whites bar.

[@MisssJessicaaa]

For any grease or oil stains, all you gotta do is apply some baby powder (or talc powder) generously. Pat it on there n leave overnight or a few hours, then just brush it off n tadaa, gone! You're welcome 😂 The powder just soaks up the oil n it comes right off 😁 It works even if you've washed it a few times.. Ive saved many clothes using this hack 😅😅😅

[@LydiaVlogs12]

Look up vibrating scrub brushes they kinda look like an electric toothbrush but there called the Rubber Maid Reveal and look different than an electric toothbrush! They work amazingly well!!!!! I love them so much!!!!! 😁

[@Brewer8481]

I bought the furdozer bc of your last video. It actually came in tonight and, yeah, it’s awesome!

[@KatyWatson173]

Try rubbing Dawn dish soap on the grease stains of your cotton shirt,then wash your shirt as normal,I’ve gotten old oily stains out of many shirts this way. It has to be Dawn not the knockoffs. 🙂🐈🐈‍⬛💖🌈

[@KylieValley]

Lestoil is what my mom has use my whole life, it works on almost every Thing. Permanent marker doesn't come out easy but that's to be expected. It's called "permanent " for a reason

[@YvonneValenti]

If you have a stain on something and you wash it and then put it in the dryer without checking to see if the stain is gone, the dryer will set the stain so that nothing will get it out once it’s been through the dryer just an FYI

[@LisaFT769]

I hate the feel of microfiber clothes gross me out too...just Ick! I dropped military grade ink on a pair of white leggings and used Shout spray gel and a scrub brush and it came completely out. It works on pretty much every stain I've ever used it on.

[@annegreenwood3624]

i use sunlight bar soap for stains but it’s hard to find scrub daddy is rolling in money like she said just use your shirt

[@LittleCutieABDL]

Those types of natural soap bars are available in my country for yeaaaaars takes me back to my childhood 😂 also am i the only one who uses bleach to clean and disinfect the bathroom? Also im autistic and i haaaaate the feeling of microfiber and certain other fabrics but i guess i just forced myself to accutom myself to it despite dispising it. But i use soap cloth vs paper towels to clean sometimes or pass a fresh cloth rinse wrang and clean and then let it dry because using paper towels won't do anything to something you know will leave a stain or is already dried up? Also i was diagnosed very late but i digress. Just note most things are just bottled up in a different thing andabelled specific fpr this but if you pay attention to the ingredients is just the same shiz bottled up and marketed differently. Most 99% are ionic surfactants in almost all the cleaning products vs sodium hypochlorite which is bleach so just use bleach and soap and water and sometimes extra baking soda accordingly and you're good honestly. You don't need much more than that.

Can you test reusable smart notebooks?

Hey Rachel

[@Thelooneylink]

Magic eraser took my paint off.

[@AddyHanclock]

The way she creased her Nikes when she knelt down bothered me a bit.. BUT ILYSM RACHEL!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@rachelballinger]

Oh yeah I don't care about shoes like that. But I know it bugs people I'M SORRY lol

[@waterbird1998]

Use Dawn on the grease stain

Microfiber makes me cringe 🥴🤪

Soak that white tee in a strong oxiclean powder/water solution.

Please try cleaning your ipad screen with your shirt like you said, it won't work remotely as well

Who loves these

[@Aldcgirlyyy]

[@amberbrady8714]

Does a few underwhelming projects and is now a master in the field... u realize it takes more then a drywall patch, nailing up trim and clicking some floor together to actually know what you're doing.. like might as well go remodel a house ur so knowledgeable hell why nit build one.. stick to your day job cuz I'm over hearing about your "projects"

[@waterbird1998]

I bought the furdozer after your last vlog and I love it!❤❤❤❤❤

[@itsbrinnybish3673]

Fels-naphtha soap is phenomenal!! You should compare to this one that you got! Also maybe a comparison products video??

[@nhouse7962]

Loved this one! I definitely added the gray sponge to my list (along with the FurDozer)!

[@FuzzyStripetail]

Rachel having a Screen Daddy wrapped around (or stuck to) her fingers made her t-shirt teed off that the Screen Daddy was more fatherly when it came to cleaning phone screens.

[@alicerice8506]

I hate the way microfiber feels too. gross

[@DebbieSp19]

I will always watch a Rachel video. Even if it triggers my gag reflex.

[@selinarevels]

For stains you need to try Folex stain remover! It gets out BLOOD, RUST, WINE, ETC! it is literally THE BEST stain remover I have used!

[@77Kbaum]

White wine takes out red wine.

[@rachelballinger]

.... what?????

[@MonicaTheMad]

I never close my front loading washer to prevent mold development. It never has any at all because of that.

[@Aldcgirlyyy]

FIRST

[@YvonneValenti]

I know this doesn’t pertain to the video, but this is another FYI for you if you want to make sure that what you’re washing doesn’t bleed colors into each other use vinegar or salt water and soak it for 20 minutes before you put it in the washing machine and then if you have something that’s two colors the colors won’t bleed together just an

[@handmeachurrobeforeifaint2638]

Be careful using any bars of soap w/ an HE washer, even if using it as just a stain remover. They break washing machines.

[@elizahomer5837]

Oh, I didn’t know that. Why is that?

[@joshuab.8543]

I’ve heard Murphy Wood Cleaner Oil is good for oil stains, haven’t used it myself tho! But highly recommended

[@carolbuzelim]

This razor is my hiperfocus dream 2 woman 3 dogs and a cat and doesnt have much hair?????how?

[@JordzXD]

I got so confused for a second because another youtuber tested that exact sponge thing recently as well and for a moment I thought it was you and you forgot lol

[@BecMelton7]

Sponges are typically damp when you get them. If they weren’t damp they’d be hard as a rock.

[@chrisakridge8392]

Dish detergent for oil stains works every time. Just put it directly on the stain let it sit or wash right away.

[@JanGlazewski]

Try Shout Advanced on those stains, works wonders IMO

[@melrox8809]

Microfiber cloths on dry hands 😬

[@mamabearandhercubs3177]

Ugh microfiber! Disgusting

[@erwinignacio6453]

I love when you test things, good afternoon, Rachel. I think that magic erasure is cool. I love your channel so much.

[@AndrewSmoot]

I wonder if that sponge would work on an LCD screen? Mine's so gunked up that it took me a second to realize how well the sponge worked on your wall/base board.

[@KayBX]

5:14 I absolutely hate the feeling but microfibre cloths are the way to go to clean glass, does not matter what glass it is. Car windows, bathroom mirror, phone screen.

[@tigerente13]

I would use that pick it thing for getting dog hair out of Velcro. I usually use a flea comb but have bent all the teeth on my flea comb doing that 😂

[@mitchducky962]

Good afternoon hello 👋🏾 how you doing your your still good what up on production and how you get for test and prove or no prove it 🤔🤔🧐🧐

[@Shawna_Wenski]

I wonder if that cleaner on the washer would work on a dish washer

[@LindzTheLooneyOfLondon]

For hair use a seam ripper it works a dream

[@skyedomotor729]

Their cats name is Stevie 😸

[@playwithmeinsecondlife6129]

I love you Beautiful Rachel!

[@ireallyreallyhategoogle]

Maybe it didn't work on the second shirt because you couldn't see the stains while it was wet, so you couldn't scrub them properly like you did for the red wine stains.

[@justinekingmaker493]

Those sponges for your baseboards, I have an entire mop that uses a much larger version of that sponge and let me tell you: IT IS AWESOME! Best. Mop. Ever! Sadly, it's no longer sold. The company that made it went out of business during COVID. I have ONE refill/replacement sponge for it, but I've been using mine for about five years, and it's still working amazingly well! It arrives "moist" because when they dry out they get ROCK HARD. You just have to soak it in tap-hot water again to revive it. They're great!! And I'm 100% behind you on the microfiber cloths thing...ICK!!! They grab all the tiny little dry skin bits on your hands.....UGH! YUCK!! HATE'M!
