    A plumber told me to put baking soda in drain. Cover drain with the plug. Then fill the sink with hot water and vinegar. When you remove the plug, the vinegar will react but the force of the hot water will push it thru.

      I have a cleaning business and a friend who has a plumbing business. He says the same. I do this to all my sinks and disposals when needed. 😮 way better than buying those expensive products that claim to clean and deodorize.

      I do this even with my kitchen sink with the disposal. I also use the Dawn power spray knock off from $ 🌳 before I rinse with hot water. It adds some extra lubricant and cleaning power to the others. Then I use a $ 🌳scrub wand brush to clean down in the black nasty hole. Then follow with hot water and one of the $ 🌳 tabs while running the disposal. It might be over kill, but my disposal gets really clean. It is a regular weekly routine.

      Tiny tweak I use that I found works so much better for us (our get really bad idk why) after the baking soda I add cheap dish soap and then vinegar. It makes it foam up more and even gets across into the second side of my kitchen sink, without any blocking with the plug! And it clears the blockages much more thoroughly than even drain cleaner! We had a sink that had been draining slowly for years and nothing else worked. Now anytime one sink starts to smell I just do them all and I've never had to call a plumber since 😊

    The P-Trap is super easy to take apart and clean. Just unscrew the rings and make sure there’s a bucket underneath to catch anything. Scrub it out and reattach! Plus this way you can actually see if there’s anything stuck in it.

    The pool noodle to use for filling items with water came at the perfect time. I had recently bought one of those big blue water jug that fits on water dispensers. I wanted to fill it just to keep extra water but knew i wouldnt be able to lift it once filled. Now i can leave it on the floor and fill using the noodle. Then slide into my storage area. Great idea!

    I make my own wrinkle spray. Grab a dollar tree spray bottle and a small bottle of fabric softener. I put about 2 tablespoons of softener, 2 tablespoons of rubbing alcohol, and fill thr rest with water. Shake and that one bottle of fabric softener will last at least 6 months. I spray my clothes and shake them out. Wrinkles disappear.

    • @GeeEee75
      @GeeEee75 Před měsícem +1

      Yep. I have always found that with that type of scrubber. The only way to avoid leakage would be to only fill it as much as you need for each usage. I used to have one for washing the dishes and I gave up. I now just use a regular dish brush, and I store my dishwashing liquid in a bottle with a pump dispenser, so I get just enough on the brush each time.

    No need to buy wrinkle releaser. You can accomplish the same effect with water. Spritz the clothing with water, give it a few shakes, and the wrinkles are gone. Really. Just water. In fact, I suspect if you look at the label of wrinkle releasers, they're just water with fragrance.

    I used shaving cream on my windows and I don't recommend it.

      Yeah, it's greasy...Idk why people would clean with shaving cream...it's literally got moisturizer in it

    Wipes are so bad for the environment though.

    You do realize you're putting the toilet scrub brush right back in liquid after letting it drip dry 🤔 also I wouldn't be wiping my privates with scented toilet paper, could cause some issues if the oil gets on the actual toilet paper. And using disposable wipes is so irresponsible

      I agree with your first comment. I don't know why people get so hung up on whether their toilet brush is absolutely germ-free anyway. It's got one use, and you can rinse it off when you're done by holding it under the flush water. WRT your second point, I don't know about you, but I don't touch the TP roll when I'm grabbing the paper I'm about to use. I agree WRT disposable wipes, however, some people use the wipe they've just used to clean off baby's face to then wipe off the high-chair, so at least that's reuse, I guess?
