@ 7:06 perfect!!! Been using vinegar for years. Yes, almost everyone questions it. lol. It is sooo much better for clothes and the environment than petroleum based fabric softeners.
For the people saying you can't be environmentally friendly while working on a super yacht, it is basically the same thing as being a pilot on a plane. The weight of the carbon footprint is on the customer, and maybe a bit on the owner, not the employees
Great video of life onboard. Please continue with all sorts of content, perhaps navigation, cooking for a full boat, seamanship, maintenance, safety drills, selecting routes and anchorages.
Thank you for making this video! it's definitely a bit different from your normal video, but I think you could make a whole series about tips from a Super Yacht crew. I think it would be interesting to see everything from making beds and cleaning bathrooms to addressing Guests and the owner!
Please let the givinator know that MIELE doors can be switched from left/right - so that they open towards her on both sides, ship mechanic can fix this easily :) take 5 minutes
Good catch
Thanks Marc that's good to know, but they are inverse so we can load them at the same time. The narrow passage is a little small to have them opening the same direction. I'll use that trick on my machine at home though:)
@@givernyjade8350 This is an excellent overview for any boat owner/Captain. I was trying to make a list of all the products I saw in the video but only could locate one here: www.greenspeed.eu/index.asp as the rest were all blurry and I couldn't make out there names.
Is there any way you can provide a list of all the ECO-Friendly products you use?
Thank you for all your time and effort and I look forward to the next "Yachts What" episode!!!
P.S. Congratulations on your Engagement, I pray both of you will encourage and lift each other up, Speak Life into each others Souls, Pray together, forgive often and never stop saying I Love You!!! Blessings to you both.
If be happy to provide the products that I personally use, however for the best overview of Eco-concious products, our suppliers in Antibes have a great site with full explanations. Check out eyservices.com/
Please let them know that we sent you :)
Yet another great behind the scenes video from a Super Yacht Captain.
Thanks Don
Hi Tristan and Giv. A fantastic video. Wow. Your knowledge is phenomenal and professional as Chief Stewardess. Be proud of your achievement at reducing your waste into the ocean, many others will follow your example.
Thank you for the positive feedback and support Christopher.
We're always making changes and learning something new to be more sustainable, while adapting to the high-paced demands of 21st century living.
It's great that AWOL is doing the best it can with eco friendly products! All we can do is do our best and if everyone did that, what a change we could make collectively!
True. But not everything is "eco friendly" as advertised. Research is your friend. Take all natural phrase or organic. The definition = carbon based. So my car runs on organic gasoline. Since oil is carbon based lol. Keep informed is best.
@@pain_weaver
All living things are carbon based, so is their poop.
@@bosgaurus1 and the relevance is?
@@pain_weaver "Keep informed is best."
Use vinegar and old newspaper to clean windows - makes windows shine crystal clear.
My 2015 Fairline Squadron 78 still looks and smells new with the helpful tios from the Women's Institute (UK) - paint, varnish, polish, groomed carpets and the breeze of fresh lining, with a a hint of white vinegar.
Cost 1.3 million quid in 2015 and would fetch 1.1 today...... keep it clean and sell the dream .😉
Few of us have newspapers any more.
@@Peggyt-jp6mt there's always an abundance of free news papers in my home towns of Miami, London and Melbourne
@@superyachtchef But then you have to put them in the garbage. I use two reusable, washable cloths, a bucket of warm water with dish detergent and a squeegee. One cloth washes the window, squeegee makes it streak free and dry cloth to wipe the frame and sill. No garbage. This is how professional window cleaners clean the windows on skyscraper office towers.
Don't know why you need a steward to do that. At home I have this white basket, I put my washing in there everyday and in just a day or 2 it's all clean and back in my wardrobe. I'll ask the wife what model it is, it's brilliant.
Hahaha, I’ve also got this magic coffee table at home that just clears itself 🤫 don’t tell anyone 😉
We will have to get these baskets for AWOL! Hahaha
Its amazing what you folks do in those tight spaces. I have been using many of your eco friendly products and have been spreading the word about the plastics. keep up the good work SYC and crew.
Additional advantage of using vinegar instead of fabric softener is that the moisture (wicking) ability of fabric is not compromised. Fabric softener reduces ability of fabrics to absorb water which is bad for towels primarily, but also other clothing (wicking away moisture helps keep you cool). By using vinegar you get the softness without compromising wicking. A lot cheaper than fabric softener so win win win.
Spot on. Vinegar is amazing, it's great as a shower cleaner too, diluted with water, and doesn't leave streaks on glass.
Our family has been using vinegar for several years now and it works well. Another benefit of vinegar in the laundry is it removes fuel smells!
such as decill and machine oil smells that my dad sometimes gets on his clothes
@ 3:19 "Another little secret!" Those dryer balls are awesome!!! Except sometimes they like to hide in the sleeves of jumpers and hoodies! lol Thanks Giv for the excellent tips!!!
People shouldn't give you a hard time about being on a super yacht. There are far more important issues in the fight for Mother Earth then super yachts. They are like a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a percent on the scale of things. Thanks for the tip.
A different video from the norm but as always a really good video, I hope you guys have a fantastic season
After all this time I've finally gotten used to crispy sheets and towels, and here you go and spoil it for me.
J K
i also use the vinegar on the kettle and on the nespresso maschine
I have started using vinegar when doing my sheets after seeing your other video. I add about 10 drop of tee tree oil with my vinegar. After seeing this video i will used vinegar in all my washing. Thanks for the great videos
Good vid, you're both looking well and I'm going to give that vinegar a go too. I saw a product on amazon a while ago which was interesting - they were selling high powered magnets that were coated in a thick rubber which you place inside of the washing machine with the laundry. The logic being that water is polar (has a magnetic north) so when the water is exposed to the magnetic field it pulls/aligns the water to face the magnet which then makes it easier for it to get into the fabric, making the water "wetter" but the magnets will rust like crazy at sea unless they're completely covered in a protective layer. I was really surprised to see them for sale on amazon and the vendor had sold a few too.
Personally, I use a N52 Gauss, 2x2x1 (inch) block magnet from ebay, and the way you find the south/north poles of the magnet is to use a magnetic compass - you want to use the side of the magnet that ATTRACTS the compass needle and I usually mark that side of the magnet with tape. For more info check out "structured water" on youtube
cheers mate!
Best video yet ! More Giv please !!!!
I liked that. I would like more interior tips and operations videos!!
Will do 👍
@@SuperYachtCaptain I look forward to what details you and your crew come up with!! You guys are doing a great job and from the sounds of it, the guest are happy as well!
I use regular NO Name brand vinegar for Rinse cycle. Absolutely NO odor...guaranteed.
You can also use eucalyptus essential oils diluted with water.
Smells great and supposed to eradicate bed bugs.
Try 25 drops Eucalyptus and fill the reservoir with water.
I also make my own detergent for another conversation.
Cheers,
N
I make my own detergent also. It costs much less and works just as well.
@@pilotboy3328
The advantage is that you're not wearing all those chemicals against your skin.
Also, I don't like to smell like a third Avenue H****r.
Just walking down the detergent aisle gives me a headache.
Great tips,I guess I will use them at home because I can't seem to find my super yacht at the moment.(It's around here somewhere)
Try retracing your steps... where did you last use it??? 😉
@@givernyjade8350 I drove it to the pub.
LOL, mentally I'm on it everyday.Great content on the videos,keep up the good work!
Vinegar huh, who knew ... thanks for the great presentation Giverny Jade.
Sanitizer is a great idea. It's used in the food industry. I use a bunch of it when I do my job. Key to sanitizer is time. The longer it's on a surface the more it kills bacteria. The stuff I use is heavy duty I'm not sure what your sanitizer is ingredient wise is. Would be interesting if you could post the ingredient list and portions. I could compare with what we use in food industry.
Top tip...
Snare a Giv to help with your laundry 😁
Vinegar is an old time cleaner, softener etc. And cheaper than the 'new' stuff. Cheers
Hi Giv. Good to see you again.
So many thanks Giv and Tristan. Vinegar will be used right now.
Thanks for the vinegar tip.
Nice tip to replace the fabric softener with white vinegar. How strong is the one you use? Good to see G again.
Very interesting and useful information presented. Thanks.
Never would have guessed that cheers!!!
You guys should be using commercial/professional machines for all that laundry. I thought that was just a guest laundry room at first. As durable Miele is, using their residential lineup for commercial use is like buying a cheap whirlpool or samsung machine for your house, you’ll be spending a lot more money in the long run because it will break more often and the performance may not be the best. If that’s all the space you have for a laundry room, you should at least get Miele Professional’s little giant machines (the new generation). It’s more robust and it has shorter cycle times, and I think you can monitor it remotely, look it up.
Love the vinegar idea, I'm going to try it! Great video :)
Great tip with the vinegar
Tony & Susan here, Don't be so defensive of the hater's, they will always find something to hate about. Like the vinigar idea will give it a go.
Cool video. Learned a thing or two which I will try out. Thanks for the tips. Nice to see your other half :)
I have used Vinegar for years as a softner. Works great and no odor. And less expensive than softners.
Try sodium bicarbonate on some white wash (don't combine it with vinegar, they will neutralise each other), this can be bought in bulk bags/containers/vats. It's a bit harsh on colour but try it out yourself, you probably have already some on board, probably your chef.
Thats Great, thanks.
Martin P. Hellwig
Nonsense. It’s a very weak base. It’s not a bleach. It has no effect on colors. pH is only around 8.
Great video! Have to try vinegar trick
what interesst to see what things are to do in the job as (Chief) Stewardess on board.
Never heard the vinegar trick, thanks. I dilute liquid detergent by 50% with water, most cloths arn't "dirty", just a little smelly and sweaty.
mhappy01 why bother diluting the detergent by 50%? Do you not bother adding any water to wash and rinse at all? If you do then it’s ridiculous to dilute the detergent since your going to add water anyways and just cut your detergent in half, easy peasy!!!!
The vinegar truck is nothing the detergent manufacturers try to keep from us for Pete’s sake!! It’s been used since the 1800’s for this purpose and is on boxes of detergents as recommended to use all over the world and it gets published every spring and fall in about every home magazine there is.
So, there may be folks that don’t know about it but not because detergent manufacturers are keeping it from us, only because folks are too stupid to open their eyes and listen to their mothers and grandmothers anymore because they think they know everything!!
Try cutting your detergent in half when there is motion on the ocean, but i get your point:: 6 of one half a dozen of the other..;-)
You must buy a lot of vinegar if it comes in Pete's truck, did your mum ever suggest you "calm down dear"!! lol
We have used vinegar for decades. It's the best.
welcome back Giv! You are missing 😊..
She is missing? Sound the alarm and send a search party!!!
You have an excellent system set up to separate different crew member's clothing & sheets.
How do you keep the guest's laundry apart ?
I'd love to work on a super yacht, sign me up for the Owner training scheme.
How do you remove ring around the collar? I’m serious. Thank you very much!
I'll try the peroxide method for complete whites, thanks Tim.
You can also make a paste with bicarbonate of soda and water, let it soak on the area affected and do a cool wash.
These stains are often caused by sweating but can also be from the deodorant being used (underarms). If that's the case, try a new deodrant that doesnt contain aluminium. The reaction between protein in your sweat and the aluminium is one of the culprits for yellow stains.
(I just learnt that aluminium fact too).
Just like to add, how critical it is to thoroughly clean dryer lint trap after EVERY use. Not only dries your clothes faster, but for fire safety (Carnival Ecstasy fire 1998) clean those vents regularly too!
You are 100% correct. We clean them at the end of each use and get the Engineer to do a good compressed air blast to the mesh once or twice a year to really keep them clean and clear of build up.
You guys are literally 2000x's more eco friendly than the dominos I worked at, y'all are good don't worry
That's so true for so many companies that "claim" to be eco-friendly.
Vinegar is also good for coffee makers .
Will start using vinegar
Thanks for the tip
01:47 First attempt at "Miele" was much closer to the real deal, than the second attempt.
It is not "honey" in french, you know. ;)
(Just say the english word "me" and then the french word "le" without any pause between the two.)
Apart from the fact, Miele is German.
@@karlp8484
that's how you pronounce it in german ;)
but it's the French "les" not "le"
Otherwise it would be Mielö
@@Kalimerakis Thankyou, but I do know how to pronounce Miele.
We actually like to called them "Mieliiiiiies" because they're "a-maize-ing". Any South African can hear this in their mind :) Hahaha.
@@Kalimerakis I disagree with you. In normal, everyday conversation, the sound is actually closer to the french "le", than "les".
Also. White vinegar sets the color in your close as well as fight odor in any polyester clothing. Old school lol
Doesn’t “sets color”. Pseudoscientific nonsense.
White vinegar also kills mould, fungi and bacteria. You can use it as a surface cleaner as well. Baking soda also has many uses as well.
True! Excellent on calcium build up. Be careful of your surfaces though as the high acidity can damage some surfaces over time. Diluted alcohol is a safer option but ideally a low PH cleaner.
@@givernyjade8350 really good to soak the feet in a warm water and white vinegar brew once a month too🤗 yes the alcohol miix is excellent too.
Carolyn Rose
It’s produced by fermentation. Acetobacter metabolize ethanol and excrete acetic acid as waste. They survive. So much for it being a disinfectant...
Vinegar won’t emulsify grease and oil. Not an effective surface cleaner because it’s 95% water and acetic acid isn’t a surfactant. Look at a bottle of oil and vinegar salad dressing: two layers.
Great tips!👍🏻😀
thanks for sharing again!
Yachts what......like it.
@Giverny Jade,
Great job on the video. Thank you for all of the tips. Also, love your humor in the comments.
I'd been curious about the linen used on board, you had once mentioned that it is the brand used by the British royals, and I was curious. I spotted the name on the wall charts. Thanks, good to know. :)
100k subscribers coming up!!!!!
So I have to know this.
WHAT is that long black conical brush thing (swinging on a hook behind Giv) used for????
Haha, we use that to clean the lint build up around the machines. That can be a fire hazard. Also useful for general dust build up around aircon outlets etc.
@@givernyjade8350 This is a big one, especially under/around refrigerators. The dog hair and dust that builds up on the coils can destroy the unit's ability to transfer heat away from the unit. Those brushes are worth their weight! Thank you for replying to the question. I know it takes a while to go through all these replies.
When am I going to win the raffle...?
Do you buy regular tickets? One most likely will not do, it is like the Lottery. :-D
Success
Excellent :))))
Vinegar will also kill germs. Great job. : ) Peace
It’s made by fermentation. Acetobacter bacteria do the job. They survive. So much for disinfection...
I would love a Video or maybe several on my favorite well only reality show I watch which is Below Deck. Yes I know they have a "Day" crew plus a couple of professionals you rarely see on camera and are picked not necessarily for their expertise though some do have experience within the Industry. I can also see that they have to work in cramped and demanding conditions.
However underneath that most seem to be whiny entitled millenials getting thousand Euro tips for 3 days work living in amazing places and having a professional chef to cater to them. If I was ever lucky enough to be able to afford such a holiday I would never do so on their or any boat as they seem Bitchy ungrateful for the marvelous opportunities such careers afford them and so judgemental. Having said that If I was in such a financial situation that I could afford to hire a yacht for a week I would probably also avoid the other people who are in the same situation as they also seem to be people who I would be ashamed to know.
I would love to see a video or two about what is the reality as opposed to the show both on the yachts and clients though of course you would have to omit any names.
Back in the old days, used vinegar in diaper rinse water
I use bicarb soda in my laundry.
We all know the best tip she gets belong to you Tristan 😏
😂😂😂
Ok Giv i am going to give the white vinegar a shot. I just hope when I put my clean clothes on I don't smell like an order of "Fish and Chips"
😂😂😂 If you do, you can have your money back.
The first bottle looks like a proWIN Produkt?
We tried Prowin years ago but decided to switch to Winni's. I kept the PROWIN bottle as it was such a convenient size for refilling. The ProWIN Cleantex is also eco friendly and in fact, we LOVE their glass cloths. I've used them for years and they are still my favourite solution for cleaning mirrors and glass.
Don't use vineagar in washing machine...Miele knows better than you..Vineager is Acid..
Miele Senior technician. He said to NEVER use vinegar in the washing machine or the dishwasher..Vinegar is ACID...Yes, it shines the stainless, but he said it totally eats and rots the rubber hoses and seals. He went on to say that they can always tell the machines that are used with vinegar. He says hoses and rubber seals and parts many times just crumble in his hands, when service is performed!
He said yes it is chemical free, but it is NOT good for the machines. Liquid fabric softener is 100% safe, when used as directed & with normal use...it does NOT build up or gunk the machine (especially if a regular clean machine cycle is done).
Great video as usual, actual useful tips from experienced professionals.
However, it was not cool to throw the owner under the bus at around 5:00.
How much dissolved solid come through you RO system? Would imagine you have none. Now in my case, my water is damn near liquid cement.
Where is my big warm welcome?! ;) Oh right, I ain't new to the channel ;)
Thats the Captains Vlog intro this is *Yachts What* ;)))
@@SuperYachtCaptain Oeps, my bad! Love your videos and the good vibes on AWOL, keep it up guys! I might buy my first boat because of you, haha!
@@Tosti3 hahaha, happy to give advise if you're looking to buy a boat in the future :)))
how does one get a job on a superyacht?
Superyachtcaptain@ I like all your content, But i don’t like that ”Big reveal” style topic. It is way to much click bate. I don’t like topic’s like: ”the big reveal yacht owners don’t whant you to know” and ”the super BIG reveal: super yacht have a BIG tank of diesel inside the hull” and so on..
Whats the snake on the wall behind Jiv?
It's a soft bristle brush that we use to clean the lint out from under and around the machines. It's also useful for a/c outlets etc.
(Lint is a fire hazard and especially with how often these machines are used).
Is it 1 raffle ticket per person, or is it 1 raffle ticket per group up to 8 people?
There is a long way to go on the ticket sales. Anyone else fancy the chance to win a week with this crew?
Putting vinegar in instead of softener. Interesting but what if you have allergies, especially to vinegar? I have see this with my Grandchild and it made his skin come up in like hives whereas baby bio wash and softener doesn’t?
Also this thing with plastics, glass especially around kids and animals can break and splinter all over the place and cause massive injuries. I have just bought a replacement cafetière that is made from a by product of sugar a poly something or other. Glass is dangerous and I would restrict it on my yacht.
Great video tho, nice to see you both working together.xx
@@grondhero agreed, Ok was referring to the fact that a). My grandson is allergic to vinegar and citric acid so far so wouldn't use either cleaning his clothes and b)some of our favourite drinks are now in the lass bottles, highly dangerous where there are children and when they break they shatter and go everywhere causing havoc. So in my humble opinion, long live the plastic bottle!!
Armchair internet washing machine experts...contradict warnings by machine manufacturers about using vinegar. Oh well, this is YT...don’t expect perfection.
Very good idea to use white vinegar! Was not using softener because it contains quite a lot harmful chemicals. Polycyclic musk compounds are toxic for water organism and show hormonal and carcinogenic effects. Of course there are biodegradeable products, but not putting this stuff into the water in the first place is my preference.
Why don't you go to China, India and Russia to teach them about the environment. We in the West already know (even though we are nagged every day by "woke" people, politicians and the UN).
Well, let's hope our videos reach those places too 😁
Maybe look into how much effect countries have on the environment per capita. The people of the woke West have a much greater impact on the environment. Also, check into why these countries in the East produce as much pollution as they do. Hint: They produce most of the product consumed by those in the West.
When a person says they were not educated it implies that they dud not receive an education... (no schooling)
