NEED TO KNOW CLEANING HACKS _ CLEANING TIPS FOR YOUR HOME _ PRO CLEANING HACKS

Hello guys and welcome to Till Vacuum Do Us Part. Today I'm going to be sharing some cleaning hacks with you guys. Every time I post videos like this you guys seem to really enjoy them and I think it's just fun finding new ways to clean things. So if you're new here I would love for you to subscribe. Now let's get straight into today's video. Okay the first thing we're going to talk about is the Scrub Daddy. This is not sponsored, I just feel like there's so many hacks you can do with this bad boy. And they make them in all different colors now, even gray and some that are white. So I love that they have that added feature. But I don't know if anybody knows, but when you're cleaning like with spoons or knives, what's really cool about the face of this is you can actually insert your utensils inside of it and it just makes it so much easier to clean. What I also love about this product is I can even clean with peanut butter, which you're going to see me do right now, or spaghetti and it doesn't stain the sponge. I can clean it right out just by rinsing it with warm soapy water. It's nice and fresh again. So you can use this on so many different things. Another thing I like about it is it gets really hard in cold water. So if you really need to scrub something you can do that. Or if you put it in warm water it softens up. So it just has so many cool features. I feel like you can't go wrong owning this. This is one of those sponges that's going to last you a really long time. Another thing I like about it is it can fit inside coffee mugs or any type of cup or surface like that. All you do is cram it down in there so you can see it kind of forms to it and then you can put your fingers like in the eye slots or just around it and spin it and it just molds to whatever you're cleaning. So I think this thing is super cool and you can do so many things with it. I'm going to leave a link for it down in my description box and in my Amazon store just in case you don't have one because I think they're super cool to have and just handy for when you're cleaning different surfaces. I also wanted to show you just a straw if you have like smoothie straws or just any of your reusable straws. They can go right there in the eye slot. So I don't know if anybody realized how handy these are but I had to share it with you guys. Now my next hack is for like sticky labels or sticky residue. Lemon oil is going to be your friend. So all my oils are from Young Living and that's who I like to use. I know there's lots of different companies. I'm going to show you how to remove labels. So I love Ross but them and their sticky labels just kill me sometimes. I've had this one on for over a month so I wanted to show you. It is not coming off. It is stuck on there. I could mess up my nails and just scrub this all day long or you can just go ahead and put a few drops of lemon. It did take me a few more drops than I was expecting but this thing had been on there so long. But if you just kind of mess with it, it just starts to peel right up and there's no elbow grease involved. You just kind of rub it and it starts to eat down that like sticky residue. This is nice too if you do pull the tag off in the beginning but there's a little bit of sticky left. You'd need a lot less oil that way. So it's so smart to get tags off soon versus sitting there but I was shocked how quickly it removed the sticker off the bottle. And just like that, that sticky label is gone. It worked so quickly plus my fingers smell like lemon now which I love. So that's such an easy hack to do. Now we're going to move on to the next one which is homemade foam soap. So I'm going to be using the same bottle because it was actually empty but you can use whatever foam soap bottle you have. So definitely just reuse whatever bottle you have in your house and then you're also going to need some type of dish soap. So this can be Dawn if you have all different kinds. I even have an antibacterial Dawn that I'd like to use with it. I also have a Method dish soap. So this is just one of those free hacks. Just use whatever you have in your house. So this can be absolutely free. I'm going to be using my Method bottle with my Method dish soap and all you do is fill it up about one fourth of the bottle. Once you have that done you can head on over to your sink and you're just going to need to fill the rest of the way up with water. Now you don't want to go too far up because when you actually put the top back on it will overflow. So make sure to leave some gap for your lid to go back on. You can use warm water here. I just used normal like temperature water and then you put it back on and then you're not going to shake this. You're just going to kind of spin it and you want the water and the soap to mix but you don't want to shake it up where it gets all bubbly. So just kind of take your time and spin it and rotate it and then you're good to go and you have your own foam soap. So you don't have to spend a ton of money on new soap. You can get all different scents with just different dish soap smells. So I always thought this was a fun hack. Now let's talk about soap scum buildup. So what you're going to need for this is a toilet bowl cleaner. I love this Lime-A-Way from the Dollar Tree. This is literally one dollar and then I'm going to use disinfecting wipes. I typically use Dollar Tree wipes but they've been all out so I'm just going to use these same versions. But as you can see if you start to look around my faucet especially the back there's just so much buildup and it's disgusting. I've tried scrubbing this over and over especially these parts where like the water runs down onto the countertop and I could never get it clean. I could get parts of it off but I could never get it completely off. Finally last week I was like hey I'm just going to try squeezing this on here and I could not believe the difference it made. I just let it sit for a minute or two and it completely cleared up. So now I'm going to be doing it here in my bathroom to show you guys but like I said just let it sit for a few minutes and then you're literally going to be able to wipe it away so easily. Okay I don't know if it's just me but I feel like using disinfectant wipes to clean it up just makes it super easy and then you're cleaning it and disinfecting it as you go. But this literally requires no scrubbing like all I'm doing is wiping it and it's coming up. The other reason I like to use these is they're really thin so I can kind of what I call flossing like in between all of the faucets and handles. I just feel like it makes it super easy to clean. I'm going to kind of show you how it's going but I'm literally just barely wiping that over and look how quickly it's coming up. It is just so easy to do. Now as all that product gets on there it does get full so I just keep rinsing out my little rag and then just keep wiping and as you can see like I'm not scrubbing at all it's just cleaning up that easily. Okay and here is the after and what it looks like. I promise you from start to finish this takes less than five minutes to clean and I typically dread cleaning bathrooms. They're very rewarding because they look so good when they're done but they're so hard to clean. So I've learned if I can just find lots of hacks and tips to make things easier I'm more willing to go in there and clean it and this is one of those tips I will be using for the rest of my life. I had no idea what I've been missing out on. I've been scrubbing like crazy and now I no longer have to. Now I want to share a few tips with you about keeping your bathroom smelling fresh. So I'm going to grab my lemon oil again but feel free to use any one that you choose and then a roll of toilet paper. So in my first need to know cleaning hacks I show you guys how to stamp your toilet paper. I'm just going to do it real quickly sped up right here so you can kind of see if you want it more in detail definitely go back and watch that video but you just fold it turn the faucet on and then stamp it and every faucet makes a different design and most of yours are way prettier than mine. I feel super jealous because you guys have awesome ones but then take that oil and you just put it inside that roll on the cardboard and then slide it back on and now you have a nice smelling fresh bathroom when guests come in and there's something about when you go to spin the toilet paper it like releases it and I feel like that's just a super easy way to keep your bathroom smelling fresh but if you don't have that or don't like you know young living oils or anything you can get these scented trash bags from Dollar Tree. So I was able to pick them up in blue and pink they typically have them in white and it's the vanilla scent but they were sold out at mine but all you have to do is open them up and use them as a trash can liner. Now they do make bathroom ones that are shorter if you don't have a big trash can but in this bathroom I kind of need a bigger one and the kitchen size works better and all you do is open it up and put it on your trash can and it will smell so good and what's nice is that your trash can is normally sitting right next to your toilet so it just leaves a nice smell. It's super easy to do like I said you can do colors if you want them or they have white as well. Since these are scented bags I do like to wrap it back up in that plastic and seal it off just so that fresh scent stays in there but that's it. I think that's the super easy hack that you can do. They're a dollar for 22 bags and that's if you get the kitchen bags you get even more if you get the smaller bags so just super affordable and easy. I do have one more quick hack for you on how to keep your bathroom smelling fresh. These are just super easy and affordable so I wanted to share them but just take whatever laundry softener that you use and take the lid off of your toilet and pour some of it in the top and it's going to make your bathroom smell like fresh laundry which is my favorite. It will leak into your toilet so if it's blue it's going to have a blue tint but it does smell so good. Now we're going to talk about cleaning the baseboards and one of the easiest things you can use is dryer sheets. I rarely use these in my dryer but I use them for like a million different purposes so I'm going to show you how I use them on my baseboards. So when I get started I like to take about two or three so I can change it out as I go because dust is attracted to those and it's going to want to stick to it. I also love that it kind of spreads that fresh laundry scent throughout your house and then it also keeps dust from sticking to your baseboards for about a week or so which I find so helpful especially if you have like dog hair or pollen or you're just in and outside a lot. This is something once again it's super easy to do you probably already have it within your home so you can probably go do it for free if not I suggest buying a pack of dryer sheets and pinteresting what you can do with them. It is insane how many hacks you can do. You can also leave them in your pocket and mosquitoes stay away from you if you're outside so you don't have to spray like bug spray on you but yeah there's like a million hacks on these so definitely check those out. I thought this scene was so funny as I'm sitting here editing it. You just thought that was so sweet that I caught that on camera. Okay now the next hack I get asked about all the time and it's hacks for cleaning your vacuum. So the first one I showed you in my last video I like to save old pens or pencils to help clean out to the little can. All you have to do is swirl around and get all of it clean but I also have other hacks to clean your vacuum so definitely stay tuned because I'm going to help you out if you guys all have this cordless vacuum. Okay so for the next hack you're going to need a pair of scissors not like kitchen scissors but something that you just craft with and then a quarter or you know a dime just something but most of you probably don't clean out the roller on your vacuum. Now Chase is really good about cleaning mine so it's not that bad but all you have to do is use that quarter to unlock the little hook on there and then it just kind of pops out and slides right out. Now if you're not cleaning this often it's probably packed which means your vacuum isn't working as well as it should be. I wanted to show you he does this about weekly and I still have stuff on it. Now you take those scissors and you're just going to cut across that whole thing and then the hair is just going to slide right off of it just like that. Definitely make this hack you know a weekly thing or bi-weekly thing and then all you have to do is pop it back in so it doesn't take much time at all and it's going to make your vacuum work so much better. Okay and the next hack is to clean out your filter. It's going to be easy to get to. It's probably going to be on the top of your vacuum and it's just going to pull right out. Now it's not going to look that dirty. All of them even when I have my Dyson, my Dyson's even worse. It looks brand new. You still need to clean this. You probably need to do this monthly or every other month. I just like to kind of bang it and shake it and get any of the loose dust off and then go ahead and just rinse it out and then you're going to let it air dry for about 24 hours and this is going to make your vacuum last so much longer because it's not going to have to work as hard. So definitely make sure you're taking time periodically and getting this cleaned out and fully dry before you put it back in. Okay guys that was all my cleaning hacks for today.
