10 Home Hacks from TikTok you've gotta try! | The DIY Mommy

[@scorson74]

There's a few hacks I've never seen before. Thank you!! You can also use lemon essential oil to remove any stubborn stickers. I'll have to try the Eucalyptus! One of my all time home hacks I do often, is o take oyr dish brush, throw it The microwave damp and turn it on for 2 minutes, leaving it in there an additional minute. This disinfects it and I feel much better when cleaning dishes. We don't use wash cloths due to bacteria build up, so we love the brushes. So so easy to clean after each use.

[@GentleWhisperingASMR]

I would also wet the pillow case to really clean it well. Great tips, I'm definitely trying some of these, thank you 💖

Hey Maria your vids have helped me so much sending you love from Ireland xx

Thank you Mommy! I noticed others are commenting on the window treatment pool noodle upgrade. I wanted to add to that: pipe insulation "noodle" found at the hard ware store. It is black, sliced down the length so you can clamp it on INSTEAD of removing the fabric, and the added benefit it is more dense, more rigid for a more precise space conformation. Plus you get the added benefit of blocking light escape if used in bedroom etc. And that Eucalyptus remover BLEW my mind. Going to try it on bumper sticker/equipment sticker removal. Yippee.

[@A.Posey_]

Pipe insulation trick is genius! I’m going to have to try that. Thank you for sharing ☺️

[@geraldinecolvin8662]

I love that you go right into the content without a lot of unnecessary talk. Excellent, professional and very helpful video. Do more like this please!

Yes, yes and yes. Lol

[@teresahaven9222]

Many many years ago a good friend of mine taught me the art of "hugging" my candles. As they burn, while they are still warm, wrap your hands around the top and GENTLY squeeze those top edges towards the center. I love the level apps!!! I have 1 on my tablet but I have the Samsung S10 and there is already 1 on here. Also when steaming the microwave, add a slice or 2 of lemon if you happen to have any around. Smells so good and the acid helps clean it too. Folding towels! My mama taught me that way too! She was born in the 20s....shows how long that folding style has been around!

[@amytodd7216]

My favourite was the eucalyptus oil on sticky bottles hack. I will need to buy some eucalyptus oil. Thanks for this tip!

[@CRSDelta]

Loved this. And thanks for not running the music throughout the video. It was calm and relaxing and allowed me to think about how I can use these in my home.

[@susanschwartz3477]

I liked the flowers in the vase with tape to be a really good idea. What really got my attention was the way you clean the fan in the bedroom. I always make sure that I have to strip the bed right after I do the fan. This new way of doing it with the pillowcase is how I'll be doing it from now on. Wonderful ideas!🏆💡

[@thediymommy]

Thanks Susan!

the loo roll hack really did make a difference. Nice one to know if you are not able to buy nice heavy curtains, or you only want thinner ones to let more light in.

The microwave I use a wet sponge with a few drops of lemon juice works just as well and leaves the oven smelling nice and fresh and we all know lemon is a natural anti bacterial cleaner Just use sponge to clean oven 👍

[@jannafolsom1069]

I put lemon in the water for the microwave hack. Smells fresh and cleans like a dream! Also, let it set.

[@janiefoglewohlerspantryand2102]

Some of these are great. My mom was a florist though way back in the seventies and we did that tape grid all the time for her cut flowers

[@kyokocasey4695]

I also learned a cute hack, to match the colors of the room decor w/the flowers. You can also add marbles inside the bottom (that match, as well.) Also, don't forget to pop an aspirin into the water for those freshly cut flowers, to extend their life!

[@laurice8056]

Essential oil can be too potent for your skin if it’s not diluted with mineral oil. But cheap Dollar Tree baby oil or petroleum jelly works great for removing adhesive labels. Just remove the excess oil with alcohol, before washing the bottle. My Mom taught us how to fold towels like this too, years ago. It’s a great way to neatly stack more towels in a smaller closet or storage place. Thanks again for sharing! Btw, I’m a new subscriber 🤗

You can do this with cooking oil, nail varnish remover (any old cheap one will do) or with WD40. You don't need to use expensive essential oil for this!

[@wendyannh]

Oh, phew, am I glad you mentioned this, because I was just going to ask if other types of oil would work, too! I’m allergic to eucalyptus, plus I have a *very* nosy and mouthy baby puppy, so eucalyptus oil is right out in my world. What a waste of expensive essential oils, too!

[@carliem9494]

would be to humans, if you use it neat, too (all EOs are, with the slight and qualified exceptions of lavender, tea tree and clove - to a certain extent). Personally, I’d dilute the EO first, remove the tar from the coat (being mindful of skin contact) and then carefully clean the dilution off the coat. The tar itself is also toxic/damaging

[@aveureaquest]

great tricks, I've used some of them for ages but didn't know the curtain rack idea or the candle. For the microwave, I use a bowl with water and the juice of a lemon (I actually juice the lemon in the bowl and put the two lemon halves inside too, great smell!) For the sticky label glue in glass, any vegetable oil will work, I wouldn't use an essential oil, they are expensive and take lots of plant for just one drop. Thanks for the video ;)
