Buy rose water at a Middle Eastern store. Cheaper. I use it in my steam iron. Makes the clothes smell so good.

[@vickiepatterson1748]

Another helpful tip when doing the floors is to sit in your computer desk chair with wheels on it. This really helps people who can't get around much, have trouble walking or standing, have a bad back or just have mobility issues. You can get around the entire room without standing up! You can sweep, mop or even vacuum. It can take a little longer but it allows you to do it and that's what counts!😉 Thanks for sharing all your wonderful tips and hacks with us;😍

[@rebeccastan6493]

Thank you for that tip! I have a bad back and bad knee so I use a short stool on wheels for the baseboards but the computer chair will allow me to do so much more. Thank you for sharing!

[@vickiepatterson1748]

So glad, hope this really helps!😘

[@DoItOnaDime]

Love this idea!

[@karenhicks8664]

Omg why did I never think of this. 🤦‍♀️ such a good idea!! I have an autoimmune disorder that limits everything I can do. Cleaning the floors is one thing I just can never do enough. I will definitely have to try it with a rolling chair. Thank u !

[@auntieyaya8381]

Thank you for considering others needs. I am crying. Between the fibromyalgia pain and abdominal injury (disable Veteran) this has been a rough week. I just sat down to take a break from just tidying. It's so comforting to know I can clean without causing more pain or exhaustion. Oh and I ONLY buy sunglasses at the Dollar Store! 10:58 Well I am off to finish so i can sit and finish crocheting my Garndies blanket. Big Hugs & Continued Blessings ❤

[@RC-kv9rj]

I have a number of health issues most being autoimmune but have to say the fibromyalgia is the worst/most painful. Have a heart issue too. Cleaning is so difficult, others(healthy people) just don’t understand. Thank you for your service. Prayers to you for a better week.

I can not walk because i have crippling bone on bone on both knees. 😢 the surgeon said i must be a certain BMI to avoid infection. Ive lost 64 pounds since January and i am so afraid my knees are going to break and there will be nothing to build from. I have to walk to the bathroom because my electric wheelchair doesnt fit in my little apartment. 40 is the BMI i am at 39 and no one will help me. Ive gone to 4 surgeons im at my wits end. 😢

I love your video about Dollar Tree. The frustrating part is showing things that are usually impossible to find at my Dollar Trees. There have been several items you show that I've been able to find at the store(s) near me, i.e. the acrylic lazy Suzy, the silicone spoon holder. I have been to several and they act like they don't even know they exist. You must have the best Dollar Tree store ever.

[@kimreed2489]

I struggle with several chronic health issues. I'm trying to keep up at home and also help my aging parents. I clean for them as well, so these tips and tricks are always appreciated!! I remember the first time I saw the video on cleaning your shower and tub with a mop and thinking...why haven't I thought of that before?! Lol. I'm happy that's included here. :) Great video!

I learned from a dance studio. They have very expensive costumes made of delicate fabrics. After a performance, the director/owner hand cleans each costume with white vinegar. I just used this to clean deoderant stains off a black formal. It works great!

[@3-jalee]

I have folliculitus which is the follicle of the hair has been damaged. I got on an antibiotic. It cleared me up. I had it on my face, chest & back. So, after the clear up, my Mom told me to get some Selsom Blue shampoo. I got the medicated one. Oh my heavens ppl. My itchy skin stopped. I use it to shampoo my hair, leave it in, apply it on a shower brush & use it ONLY on my arms, neck, chest & back. Then I use regular body wash on the rest of my body. It is a miracle!! No more itchy skin!! I've had itchy skin my whole life. I use to jump out of the shower & ask my Mom to scratch my back.. i thought i was allergic to water lol. Anyway, wanted to share this becuz it HELPS!! 🙏❤️⚘️

[@jeanetteh.9240]

I'm so glad your mom recommended something that ultimately helped your skin! That's great!

[@StacieKing-og5jw]

Seldom Blue treats malasssezia, a yeast like fungus. More than likely you have an overgrowth in your body. Azo yeast pills will help as well. The antibiotics worked because the turned into infection, but reducing the fungus load will help prevent. 😊

[@AnnHopy]

Use glass containers and write on the glass with permeant marker (baking soda as soft scrub to remove marker) or use painters tape if you want it on the lid (lots of uses for the painters tape). Good old fashion cloth diapers for cleaning/dusting cloth. Also wash clothes (yes! some of us still use them) bath towels, flour sack towels, etc., all these are good for assorted cleaning or dusting. I am an older who is on a budget and growing up I watched my mom and grandma use what they had. Crayons sometimes used on glass containers and pens on the tape. For myself it just makes more sense. Recycle glass jars to store anything from food to nuts & bolts. I do enjoy watching your videos and for many I am sure they take you up on your ideas. I watch because your just a breath of excited fresh air. You keep up the joy and have a great day :)

[@jeanettecastle7916]

This is my favorite video of yours to date! I just loved the whole video! But, it was the couple of sentences at the end that got me. I was recently diagnosed with complex PTSD. Those closing sentences really touched me. Loving yourself is so important. Some of us forget to do that, or don't know how to do that. Thank you for being you!

I love rose water and dried roses! I’m Greek American and rose water is used to make much of our sweets. I use it to make ice cream with whipping cream, canned condensed sweetened milk and vanilla extract. Drizzle with chocolate syrup and you have the most amazing Rose 🌹 flavored ice cream. ❤

[@mes373]

Where do you get roses that haven't been sprayed with insecticides?

[@voguevania]

I bought rosewater for a no-churn ice cream recipe with those same ingredients, plus vanilla bean paste! I haven't made it yet, but I have enjoyed the rosewater in my beverages.

These 1:08 are also AMAZING if you put a cloth around each of the claws and use it to dust your blinds. One claw on top, one on bottom, close the grabber and slide it along the blind. Works like a charm!

[@sandiscuriousthings]

Thank you so much for the cleaning tips for those of us who are limited in mobility. It's so upsetting to realize an area that I can't reach has gotten dirty and someone visited before I could get someone else to do it for me.

I use baby wipes and disinfectant to make my own disinfectant wipes that I store in the disinfectant canister. More economical and I like the baby wipes better for cleaning.

[@MyFocusVaries]

Try to look for bamboo wipes. Otherwise, those baby wipes are made of plastic, so unfortunately every one contributes to microplastic in the environment. There are a couple of brands made of bamboo or tencel. Tencel is a wood fibre.

The mobility aids are great for folks who are unable to bend or reach. For folks who still can, remember our bodies are a use it or lose it system! If it's a little achy to reach (I'm not referring to folks with serious injuries), that could be a sign to do some stretching or other exercises. Please don't quit bending because it's uncomfortable. Because eventually you won't be able to bend. 😢

I already have dried rose petals, purchased from an Amish market, and those Dollar Tree sphere ice molds. I kind of want to get out of bed and make rosewater ice spheres right now! I bought the rosewater to make ice cream, but found that it is delicious in herbal tea, lemon-lime sodas, and Ginger Ale/Ginger Beer.
