7 EXPERT CLEANING TIPS YOU NEED TO BE USING: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--C-ic2H24OU.html

Foster kids always need luggage. They sometimes move from home to home with their personal belongings in a garbage bag. I suggest everyone with extra luggage donate it to an agency that works with foster youth.

I heard a great suggestion recently for older suitcases. When social services removes a child from a home, they often just pack their things in plastic bags. It was suggested that social services might take donations of suitcases so a child could walk into a house with dignity.

I always cut my hair ties before throwing them out. I've seen pics of animals getting them wrapped around themselves.

@justanotherjessica 3 года назад

Replace your hair ties with the soft stretchy ones that look like they're made of tights material. They last pretty much forever. They never break and when they do get stretched out, you can put them in the washing machine with a regular load of laundry and they'll shrink back to normal in the dryer. I've had the same hair ties for a couple years now. I've only had to replace ones that my cat stole to play with and they disappeared under some random piece of furniture lol.

@NEILZEE11 3 года назад

I always, without fail, cut my 6 pack plastic soda or water packaging 14 times before tossing them, and have taught my grandsons to do the same thing. I explained how birds and other wildlife could get caught in them. Another danger is plastic grocery bags and cats. My cat loves plastic, but he always gets caught in the handle of the bag, he panics and the bag get twisted around his neck. I know someone who’s dog actually did that within 5 mins of finding the bag, unfortunately he didn’t make it out. 😢. I didn’t know about the hair ties, but plastic bags do need to be tossed or stored properly away from animals & kids too.

I actually do take the hotel toiletry products on most of my hotel stay travels. But not for me to use. I keep them in one of those hotel laundry bags in a corner of a closet at home. When I’ve collected enough toiletries from enough trips to fill that bag, I take it to a homeless shelter along with any clothing I decide to donate at the time.

I use contact lens cases for storing various liquids while traveling. They take up less space than the typical bottles and there are a lot of products I don't need a full 3 oz of on a trip. So I will put sunscreen, foundation, primer, hair serum, face serums, and so on in them. Several contact cases will take up maybe as much space as 1 regular sized travel-sized bottle.

@justanotherjessica 3 года назад

Extra reusable grocery bags make good organizers for a chest freezer. You can load them up with all one type of food (like frozen veggies or a certain type of meat) and they stack easily. Plus, they're easily washable in your washing machine if anything spills on them. When you need something from the freezer, just pull out the entire bag instead of standing there digging and letting heat and moisture in (which is how frost builds up inside the freezer and nobody likes defrosting!).

A tip with socks: I always buy two or even 3 pairs of the same socks. That way you get a lot longer use out of them.

I replaced all of my socks with one single type and color and it was a game changer. No more pairing up socks because they're all the same! I just stack them in my drawers and grab the top 2 whenever I need a pair to wear. The only other socks I kept were 2 pairs of compression socks for traveling and a pair of dress socks in case I need them.

I actually keep all those samples and travel sized items because I travel to my son's house (or did before all this) and never knew what they had. This has come in really handy now that I can't go to the store. Those small soaps, toothpaste tubes, and shampoos have really come in handy when I run out. I also have a large collection of CD's. I am OLD and am tired of constantly changing and having to pay for different ways to access music and movies etc. I actually have about 4 different CD players and use them. However, I do have some CD's that I can prune from the collection, especially the children's music as my grandchildren are now in their teens!!!

The key to reusable shopping bags is to always make sure you have one or two in your purse at all times, especially smaller purses. You end up buying another bag when you go out (you weren’t planning to go shopping but picked up a few items) because, well you need a bag to bring home your stuff.

You can put things like eye cream, moisturizer, sunscreen, etc. in the new contact lens cases that are not used when you are traveling since the liquid that is allowed is limited on planes. It won't take up much space and you wouldn't be using that much cream on a short trip anyways :)

We don't have an electric lighter; we're old school. We have a zippo that lasts for a lifetime lol. If it malfunctions in any way you mail it to Zippo and they fix it or replace it for free--for life. You can pop the top part of a disposable lighter off and remove the flint. The flint is use-able in the zippo. (edit: even when the disposable lighter is used up, the flint is longer than the new ones you can buy..so if you have friends who smoke you never have to buy flints and you can light candles for eternity haha) Upside is you don't need electricity. Downside is more clutter--flint container and lighter fluid.

@epowell4211 3 года назад

Being a crafter/ DIYer makes it hard to get rid of stuff - I can think of a way to reuse nearly everything. One of the great things my husband has done is make me question if I'd repurchase something if I got rid of it, can I afford to rebuy it when I actually need it, can I just use something else instead. On my craft supplies, I have to focus on, "just because you can, doesn't mean you want to." Having friends who are both avid crafters and eBay sellers really motivates me to pare down! Clothing is harder, but thinking about "who could use this more?" helps. Laughed at the underwear: as a kid, I somehow got the idea that the garbage collectors actually saw what you threw away, and I became terrified of them finding my dirty underwear in the trash, so I couldn't toss until clean. However, I was also so cheap, that once I'd spent the dollar at the laundry, I'd wear the poor things again lol. Veterinary clinics and animal shelters are a good place to offer not-so-lovely towels. I do tend to cut towels down into usable size, serge the edges, and use for cleaning. T-shirts get cut into dust cloths as well, and even some underwear. Socks are good dust gloves, or cut the ribbed top off and use as bottle cozy, sweat bands, even pony tail holders. A sock top also came in handy when I got poison ivy on my forearm - it protected other surfaces while letting the blisters dry out.

I enjoy watching your videos, especially when I need motivation to clean and throw stuff away, donate, and sell. One tip I have: I use the slightly broken suitcases that still roll to store Christmas decor to put in the shed. It is much easier to roll to and from the house. Especially the lighted garland and wreaths that are cumbersome. Once they don't roll, we use them as outdoor cat beds. Throw some old rugs, blankets, and towels and set it somewhere off the ground so it doesn't get wet. We have a set of plastic shelves on the patio that I stack them on. I can also hang a sheet or blanket in front of the shelves when it's windy and/or raining.

keep the glass pyrex, buy new lids...

@epowell4211 3 года назад

better yet, buy the silicone multi-size lids :D

@intherockies 3 года назад

I agree if the bowl is still good, a lid is an easy replacement and that would help our environment more than buying a whole new set and wasting a good glass container.

The discoloured necklace can be spray painted black. Black jewelry looks sharp with all outfits.

This was super timely as I'm decluttering my whole house! It's just been so helpful. A use for contact cases is travel or first aid kits. I put creams & ointments in them, or even foundation for short trips. If I need to take off my ring at the beach or earrings.

@martaneves8021 4 года назад

The quarantine has given me an opportunity to catch up on a lot of your videos. I am so excited about decluttering, but we recently moved back to Canada and out clutter ismall sitting in storage waiting for us to get our house in a few months. I wosh I could go through it now.

Bag those samples and travel sized items for the homeless.

I love the plastic business cards to spread my primer or paints on my art work. And old tee i make yarn out off and use it for my crotche. I put my bobby-pins in toothpick dispensers then put the hair ties on the outside of the toothpick dispenser. So it acts as a hair-tie holder at the I use Giift bags to hold my clean cleaning cloths. It hangs on a hook above my laundry sink. I also use a gift bag in broom closet to hold my vacum attachment.

I’m trying to be more zero waste and if you have lost the lids to jars then using wax wraps is a great way to keep something. I learned from CMS that tin foil is reusable too! 🤯 I have used the same foil for my last four lasagnes!

@truepeacenik 4 года назад

Rebecca G Agreed. And no shame in ordering a new lid fir a glass bowl, like Pyrex. I found having a small SMALL bin for lids helps, because often jar lids are somewhat standardized.

@firesign4297 3 года назад

tip: you can use old Bath Squngies like the blue one to wash out Tube and sinks 😊

@temi4116 Год назад

I do that. Kitchen brushes, sponges, scrub pads and toothbrushes that have less than half life left get moved to cabinet under bathroom sink. They become implements to clean bathroom, clean shoes, or move to my bike cleaning bucket. Once these items are no longer good for cleaning bathroom, shoes or bike , they are thrown in trash.

Hi there!! Please would you recommend to viewers that when giving away old or unwanted towels, blankets or any kind of bedding suggest to donate them to animal shelters or pet hospital, they really can use them. Thanks,

At least he has brilliant music taste! I found it difficult to throw CDs away, I've done it but saved CDs from old local bands, which you can't find anymore (but ofc, they are now in a box in the attic so...).

@mirelladlima5278 3 года назад

So many different categories of things one may tend to overlook which you have covered so well. Very useful content. Also one big payoff is that one's space becomes more easy to clean and more manageable and your home does not look crowded and suffocating. Also I like the concept of embracing open space rather than once again filling up with useless stuff. Tks.🙏

I use my luggage as storage preferably to cardboard boxes. All the old socks, towels, t-shirts, old clothes in cotton are making fabulous cleaning cloths and tissues. Incredibly practical, when you are sick with Covid-19 unable to get out and in need of cleaning and disinfecting on a regular basis. Reusable plastic bags are great to contain those cloths and tissues after single use until you can wash them. I cut all in small size pieces, have a pile of clean one in each room and a plastic bag to store the use one. At the moment it is a life saver. I have never been happier to have so many in my house at the moment. So lucky that I never declutter those before.
