    May I add a tip? I flip to Nov. or Dec. when I get a new calendar in Jan. for the upcoming year. I write in Nov. or Dec. (whichever works best) what items I need for the holidays. Napkins or tableware or gift tags-those types of things. So when I flip to the months with special holidays I can purchase what I need because by then I will have definitely forgotten what I needed, and the items are listed on my new calendar.

    I have never, ever saved a home hacks video - until now. The first one I plan to use is the heavy duty broom in the showers. We have stone floors in them and I scrub them by hand with a small brush. I'm 72 and it's not always easy for me. There were a couple of others - like the over-the-door hangar for outside and that glue stuff to keep things from sliding.

    Personally I wouldn't do the cooler one because I have several ginormous pots, plus a roasting pan I could use instead, but also the potential BPA/chemical leaching concerns. If you really need to use it, I would recommend first lining the cooler with a *turkey-sized oven bag* as those are food safe and will tolerate boiling water. Pop the bag into the cooler, place the corn inside the bag, then pour the boiling water into the bag. Place a couple of wire racks on top to keep the corn submerged for even cooking and you should be good to go.

    Lots of great ideas here! An instant pot will also give you eggs that practically peel themselves, either fresh out of the pot or after refrigerating! Also, a denture brush is even better than a toothbrush for getting into those little crevices! The bristles are stiffer, and they have a section of longer bristles on the end. I buy them for that very purpose, because nobody in our house has dentures. 😊

    Aging-in-Place 'Hack':
    If you have mobility issues, you must hate having to use base cabinets for storage, especially the sink base cabinet.
    Instead of using a variety of extendable shelves, stacking bins, or shelf risers, look into installing extension shelves.
    They come in a variety of widths and depths, to work with the unique volume configurations of the space in sink base cabinets. Some include a second tier shelf narrow enough to thread the space between pipes and the cabinet side.
    They can be mirrored on each side of the base cabinet, then a long thin bin can be placed between the two for additional storage.
    NO MORE KNEELING TO REACH THE BACK OF THE BASE CABINET!

    These are brilliant! Thanks! I'm stealing a bunch! 😁I love the idea of storing occasionally used items (e.g., a turkey roaster) elsewhere so it doesn't take up valuable space like in the kitchen. I do this with any linens for the holidays. My Thanksgiving and Christmas linens, potholders, tea towels, aprons, kitchen towels, etc. are all stored with the Christmas decorations so they don't take up room in my linen closet. The best part though is that I'm not tearing the linen closet apart trying to find them right before Thanksgiving dinner is served.

    My hardboiled egg shells always stuck until I tried this hack I saw: bring the water to a rolling boil first, and THEN add the eggs. Simmer about 14 min. I also put them straight into ice water when they're done, but that alone wasn't enough. It's the rolling boil that made the difference.
    Lots of good ideas here!

    The one with toilet cleaning. I've been doing this for over 30yrs. Although I use the paper for the top & rim, and a brush for the bowll. You can flush the paper, instead of throwing out sponges or rags. You're the first person I've seen doing the same thing. 😊

      Me, too! Mine came out of necessity. During recovery, when I had my hips replaced, I was unable to stand and walk for long periods of time. So when it came to laundry, I simply figured this one out on my own. I also found that shaking t-shirts from the bottom hem and holding at the seams was much more efficient for straightening the shirt out for folding and hanging.

      We have a separate laundry basket for all shirts that have to hang dry. That way the entire load is stuff that doesn't go in the dryer. Much easier than trying to remember to hang one or two things. The dry erase marker looks like it might work well but I really like keeping those items separate.

    All my "do not dry" items go in wash bags, which is where they mostly go anyway because I don't want them rubbing/stretching among the general population in the wash. I do also put all socks in wash bags for loss-prevention, but obviously you can tell which bag that is during transfer and go ahead and throw that one in to dry.

    • @allein1001
      @allein1001 Před 9 měsíci +1

      I do wash bags for a lot of my hang-to-dry shirts, too. I have a lot of identical ankle socks (the ones that come in a pack of six pairs or more) so I got a pack of big safety pins and I pin them together when I take them off. They're already paired when they come out of the dryer and each pair wears out at roughly the same rate. (I've tried the bag for socks but some of them would always still be slightly damp and then I'd have to put them back in.)

    I will be grabbing an outdoor broom like the one you show for cleaning the shower floor! We had our shower (actually, it was the entire master bathroom) remodeled. The shower from when the house was built was a boxy yellow color (late 1960s-early 1970) was hideous, so the contractors tore it out. They were able to remove this tiny corner cubby, which allowed us a larger shower with thin type shower wall pieces going over the wet room drywall & the shower floor with heavy water barrier & base with grouted tile. The whole bathroom is beautiful, esp the extra roomy shower! It is becoming more & more difficult for me to get down on all fours to scrub the tile. I’ll be buying a detergent fillable dish scrubber for the shower walls & the bathtubs.
    Thanks for all the cleaning hacks, but esp so for the ones above. I’m mid-50ish, heavy on the -ish. Any cleaning hack that makes life easier is worth it.

    My toilet cleaning routine: I use the Clorox toilet gel. I apply it inside the toilet up along the rim and let it sit while I clean the outside of the toilet (rim, outside of the bowl, seat (both sides), lid (both sides), and tank. Then I take my toilet brush and scrub the inside of the bowl. After the first scrubbing, I flush. Then I take an antibacterial wipe and put over my toilet brush to scrub under the rim. It gets the gunk the toilet brush misses and I just toss the wipes when I'm done. It usually takes at least a couple of wipes to get under the rim clean.
