We grow up using this soap. I’m telling you! Watching these videos makes me realize everything we used growing up had more the 1 uses. Plus was way cheaper. We were very poor growing up so my mom used a lot of Home remedies. Great video!

Florida here. We're known for our mosquitoes. Floridians have been using scented dryer sheets for ever down here. We rub the sheet on our arms and legs then we just lay a few on the patio table and tucked in our chairs. Keeps 95% of them away. Doing that along with a small fan works 100%. Just blows them away.

When I first saw the thumbnail I thought maybe it was going to be the hack I use for one of the best shaving soaps I've ever used. I just grate Men's Dove from the dollar store into my shaving mug and pack it down. The cleansing cream in it gives me the best shave and leaves baby soft skin @ 77 yo. Also, apple cider vinegar and a few drops of dish soap in a jar with holes in the lid lures fruit flies to their doom. Got that one from the tube.

Yes, the vinegar lures them in and then they get stuck in the soapy water and drown. I do this too in the summer as we constantly get a ton of gnats because my wife insists on owning 7 million house plants 😂. I’ll definitely tell my father about the shaved soap to shave his face though. He uses it to bathe so I’m sure he’d appreciate that hack of yours, especially because it’ll save him some money on shaving cream.

Strongly Disagree on the mice deterent. I read this suggestion elsewhere, bought a case and shredded it to protect a new $3000 pool cover. Delivered in spring, stored til fall. Got my new pool cover out of the garbage can in the shed (with the Irish spring shavings in the can and sprinkled generously around and inside shed) and was Mortified of all the mouse damage! I had to use 3" gorilla tape inside and out to seal/cover of all the holes before install. OMG We've had very little damage in the past 9 years to our old cover, Before the Irish Spring. Never had holes big enough to tape.....til now. Also, told my girlfriend about putting it in her RV (another suggester)(I never tested it out first).....she said they ATE it and loved it apparently. She wasn't happy about her damage either. Just our personal experiences. Not a mice deterent.

Peppermint Essential Oil is a Mice Deterrent … add drops to cotton balls, sprinkle those around strategic areas. The # of drops may depend on your own tolerance for the scent - The first year I did this, the peppermint smell was almost overpowering in my garage, so the “you can always add more” principle would apply here too.

Got up, picked it up with a plastic bag so I didn't have to touch it and carried it outside to the trash can so I could get some sleep.

It's probably both the scent and the glycerine. It isn't harmful to you. It's like Dawn dish soap. It works really well against fleas for young animals too young to get regular flea treatments. Salt added to shampoo keeps headlice away. (Make sure you rinse really well, and use conditioner after, it's basically similar to swimming in the ocean). It works, it isn't any more toxic to you than shampoo without salt, but it can be hard on your hair. It will kill lice and dissuade them to even get into your hair in the first place. If you have a kid in school and there is an outbreak, this can help protect their heads and hair. Also, comb comb comb if someone *is* infected. Insects and beetles have different sensitivities than we do. The salt dehydrates them and gets stuck in their exoskeletons. For them, even a little salt is a massive amount. It will kill them. The same amount is harmless to us, unless you start scaling it to body size and weight. The same is true for the soap. It's not "toxic" any more than any other soap. Glycerin is a bug repellant, and they *also* don't like the smell. It doesn't *kill* any bugs, just makes them go elsewhere.

@@saqueradry3629 all soaps are "chemicals". That doesn't make everything harmful. It's the glycerine in the soap that acts as a repellent. The scent of Irish Spring is also one bugs don't like. So there is that. It won't outright kill anything, just makes them go somewhere else. It's also why if you're going to use it, you should use it on your entire perimeter.

I find them to be a place where bacteria and mould can build up and you just don't notice plus using all that extra electricity... Just not for me

@@g.borgia5100 I know but after seeing all these natural ways of whitening and cleaning I started getting a bit paranoid. I always have a bottle of chlorine in the house because sometimes it's the only way to get a really good clean after it's been a while or when you have many animals and one of them gets sick. You defo have to put chlorine in the cleaning mixture. Also when my bath stains because of dyes or cloves. Nothing else whitens it again WITHOUT scrubbing

So, after listening to you, and then poking fun at my wife because she has your same northern Midwestern accent, which I find absolutely adorable. I started thinking and came up with a question. Wouldn't it work to take the spray bottle with the Irish Spring solution and spray it around the door frame, or wherever you needed that scent but didn't want any visible traces of the soap? It seems like it would be a much cleaner application, so you wouldn't see any residue like you would when rubbing it on like a big crayon, or springing the shavings around. Not to mention, applying it would be so much quicker and easier, and you could apply it whenever you noticed its effectiveness beginning to diminish. This time of year in the Phoenix area we get a lot of flies bussing in through our sliding patio door, so I'm thinking I might try making a water solution and spraying it all around the patio area. I'm absolutely going to try this. THANK YOU for this awesome Irish Spring tip.

@Michelle-mm9qu
@Michelle-mm9qu 2 жыл бұрын
Shower gel doesn't work as long. The bar soap works partially because the hard soap itself sticks and stays in place, thus keeping more of the scent in the places you put it. The gel has lots of water to make the gel and disappears fairly quickly thus taking the scent away fairly quickly as well.
