Never leave your keys (or phone or wallet) by the front door. You aren’t always receiving friends, sometimes it’s a delivery person or someone doing a survey, for example. I knew someone who had their garage key removed from their key ring and had their garage broken into.

[@tarynmaria_]

Scary! Thanks for sharing!

[@cakedupkevin]

How did they get into the house without a key? Your comment is illogical.

[@vintageprue8728]

@@cakedupkevin they were a delivery person etc, the home owner opened the door to them, even leaving the door for a minute gives criminals opportunity to steal. Many people keep keys in drawers near their front doors, it’s very dangerous, potentially.

[@vintageprue8728]

Great comment! We willingly open our doors to potential criminals, with no need for forced entry. Don’t keep keys/ cash etc in drawers or anywhere near front doors.

[@heatherdenboer2491]

How about not leaving a stranger inside your house alone?

As someone who has a clutter/cleanliness issue, i hugely appreciate your tips. I saw a few of your videos (just looking for motivation). Love your content. Thank you.🥰💃🏾

[@tarynmaria_]

You are so welcome!!

[@vintageprue8728]

Great tips, thank you! Working smarter not harder, is key.

[@tarynmaria_]

So true!

I love this cuz I love Big Bang Theory and at some point they say, "What, you don't have a bowl for your keys?" LOL Right on.

[@tarynmaria_]

Too funny! My kids love Young Sheldon - have you seen it?

[@LythaWausW]

@@tarynmaria_ I've watched Young Sheldon as many times over as I have BBT but sadly season 7 is not available for free where I live so don't tell me what happens!

I luv your videos🙂 I like when you have the time stamps applied on the videos😄

[@tarynmaria_]

Thank you! ☺

[@christineanne7834]

I swiffer the walls - works wonderfully. Also I use my lemon furniture polish on everything in my kitchen, all the stainless, the granite counters & the SS sink. Everything shined beautifully. New sub, love love your straightforward content ❤

Thank you so much - and I'm so glad you're here!

I've been doing these for decades as normal! In Germany we put eg lego in a sieve and wash it in the dishwasher. Europeans never wear "outside, street" shoes in a house because it is so unhygienic. I have "house shoes" but prefer to go barefoot. We have "guest slippers" for people visiting. If I did the "post hack" i would never look at mail. Plus in Europe our mail comes through the letterbox slit in the front door/wall of the house and scatters all over the floor, so you have to pick it up. My hack is to open it all immediately, throw the rubbish in the trash, put file stuff

[@tarynmaria_]

Awesome, thank you for sharing!

[@kj.5561]

Wow, Rebecca. Good for you. Really helpful.

[@angella7576]

I love your videos. Always great advice. The mineral oil in the sink! Yes MINERAL oil! A few yrs ago I saw a video that said to polish your stainless steel sink with olive oil. Like a total idiot i did it. It was very beautiful....until i turned the water on! Ugggg i felt so stupid because what happens to olive oil when its cooled?.. it turns solid. It was a huge mess! But mineral oil is great it makes it look new and repels mess. Its so easy to wipe it clean and pretty😊

[@tarynmaria_]

Thank you so much!! ❤ And you are so right about the olive oil! The mineral oil is so much better for sure :)

[@rachaelbruesch6306]

Hi there, you can also put your lampshades in the dishwasher, it does an awesome job.

[@tarynmaria_]

That is amazing to know!!

[@jennyjenkins877]

My favourite tip was to clean the microwave after you've used it to heat up food or a drink. I never run it with just water or vinegar for the sole purpose of cleaning. It's a waste of electricity and the liquid if just dumping it down the sink.

[@tarynmaria_]

Thank you! I do it sometimes with vinegar but then I put the vinegar into the dishwasher to clean it! :)

[@deloreshall5459]

Great video. Do use lint roller on lamp shades. Game changer. Great tips😊❤

[@tarynmaria_]

Thank you!! ❤

[@rellarobinson2314]

Use a brush and take your lamp shade outside and brush off dust

[@shannonengelken4629]

Great tips!❤

[@tarynmaria_]

Thank you!! ☺❤

Microwave I disagree - use a plastic food cover and forever you will only be rinsing the inside of that thing in your sink with a quick rinse, and a wipe down of the glass plate. The only downside of a microwave food cover is training your family to use it, as I found when I gifted one to my family. It must be universally used. (NOT universally cleaned each time.)

[@julietannOsfan1972]

Great video & tips. I’m really looking forward to the paper clutter one. In the UK our post comes through a letterbox in the front door rather than in a mail box outside your house. Just curious, do most people check their mail boxes every day or do they sometimes forget & then have about 3 days worth of post & rubbish to sort through?

[@tarynmaria_]

Thank you!! Also, I don't check my mail every day :) I think it varies - I personally forget and end up leaving it in the mailbox for days!

[@rachg123]

I put my vacuum filters, e.g. Dyson/shark, in the dishwasher too. Part of my routine is to do that every few uses. I found that hand washing the filters was enough friction that I wouldn't clean them often enough

[@nonnieTerri]

That’s something I hadn’t thought of! Thanks for mentioning it.

[@tarynmaria_]

What a great idea!

[@AnnEaton-xj6ic]

As usual great tips!!🥰

[@tarynmaria_]

Thank you, Ann!

heat up a cup of water for 2 minutes in the microwave and u can wipe everything off without the gross smells

Thank you!

That little granite slab doesn't do anything except give you something else to keep clean. Chuck it! 😂

Don’t own a dishwasher by choice.

So most shock what i have by American way of life is 1. Outside shoes in house 2. Dirty clothes basket in sleeping room 3. Shoes in room 4. “Cooking “ in microwave 😅 All tips are perfect 👍🏻

[@tarynmaria_]

Thank you! :)

[@rebeccarendle3706]

Actually you can "cook" really well in a microwave... I have a microwave steamer for steaming vegetables, dumplings, potatoes, fish... I cook meat, cakes, sauces (learnt that type from Jamie Oliver) and eggs (scrambled, poached, omelette). It is fast, THE MOST economical way to cook and healthy.. no oil, frying etc.

[@MsVanja17]

@@rebeccarendle3706 okay i didnt know all options for cook but is not healthy using microwave anyway.👍🏻 mostly used in our area is heating meals that it or defrost.

[@rebeccarendle3706]

@@MsVanja17 of course it is healthy! The idea it is dangerous is an "old, uneducated myth."...A microwave used NON-IONIZING RADIATION... which is not harmful. Maybe learn the science!
