MIRACLE LAUNDRY... the $1 Pine Sol secret! 🤫 

@@Sharon... definitely get it. And it's truly hilarious.

Jane Bunker: Ha, Ha, Ha, That was a Kodak moment.

Same story with my mom😂😂. Cancer took her early in life and we got that same smell when we went to dress her. She Hated that stuff and even told the morgue not to use chemicals on her after she passed. Naturally they had to but we did get a chuckle out of it. I won't touch the stuff either

For my Dad, we were all in the funeral director's office and the secretary went to lunch and rerouted ALL phone calls there. The phone rang uncontrollably until i stood up and lifted it off the receiver and put it back. My whole fam was in shock and the director scolded me, but they were the unprofessional ones. Sorry, wish my story was funnier. But 10 years later, the sound of a ringing phone makes me instantly furious.

Too funny! You are perfectly twisted and definitely fit into my family. Welcome, Sis!

I'm literally addicted to the smell I need help, I sniff it about 50 times a day. I never thought ai would be one of those weird addiction people. It's not to get high, it's like a need. Im too embarrassed to tell anyone.

Awesome tips thank you so much.

@@ninawest8 Oh yea I got that

@@ninawest8 Hi Nina. I have a possible solution for you. It's what I did in principle to get off one of my two pain pills (morphine) after my 3rd car accident. What I'm suggesting for you is to get a spritzer and mix a small amount of the product in it with water so it will give a light smell. Only fill the bottle 1/4 full because you will probably have to adjust it. Put your measurements down in a notebook, which you will also use later. Now, decide where you can spray it on you that will not be offensive to others, but will affect you the most. Avoiding touching the skin, I would suggest the outer part of the shoulder of the shirt or blouse and/or the outside of the bra cup.. Put the clothes on and see if the aroma is at a comfortable level. If not, 1) if it is to strong, add some water and write down how much. 2) if it to weak, add more product and write down the amount. Clean the shoulders and cups, you don't want to add two layers on top of each other, 1) it would be too strong and 2) you wouldn't know if the 2nd formula worked or not. So, get some new clothes and let these dry or avoid the work and toss them into the wash. When you find your level of breathing the scent you like, spray your clothes each day for two to three weeks, then water it down a little z not too much, for example, if you started with a cup or 8oz., I would suggest adding 1/2 oz of water so that the shock of a quicker withdrawal is eased. This is what I did in getting off of 1 of my 2 pain meds. My Doc agreed, my P.A. was ecstatic, so using a combination of smaller doses together over several months, I finally got off of morphine. What I'm suggesting is based on what I did. There's the possibility that it would work. Whatever you choose to do, I wish you success. BHK

@@byronhk4197 Thank you for the suggestions, sounds like a good way to start 😊

Oh wow! Let me try this! TFS ✅

It won’t work the same is it did for your mom. Pine-Sol has almost no pine oil in it anymore.

Wow!! I never knew it'll get oil stains out?! Is it safe for the washer?!

Thank you! I've been searching for something to get the oil and smell out of my husband's clothes for years and nothing has worked.

P zzz's

Great memory!

I was just thinking the same thing in my house growing up you could eat off the floors my mom always use Pine-Sol in the clothes and for everything and a lot of Clorox and always had George Jones and Loretta Lynn playing on the record player. 🥰

Yesss,Those 4!💯💯

Me too.

The cleaning quartet!

You just described my childhood. Especially on a Saturday with windows or doors open in springtime. 🌹🌺🌸

i think it may be more about the clicks

She’s a depressed person

Aside from the artificial fragrance which is terrible for you

​@@Toronto2326 yeah, I can tell

😂😂😂

So basically I can watch RU-vid all day and then make him think I was cleaning 🧼 BRILLIANT 😂😂😂😂

One of the oldest tricks in the book. Don't forget to wet the mop, too. 🌞

@@hootowlholler3760 and move the mop/mop bucket over an inch. 😁

Thanks for the cleaning tips y’all 😂😂💜💜

Or to add another idea… rinse out and reuse an old toilet bowl cleaner bottle and refill it with Pinesol too

Horrible smell, tho! YIKES!

@@staceykersting705 then don't use it.

@@perrywalton2464 I'm with Stacey. I have a lot of sensitivities to chemicals and fragrances whether I like them or not. Pinesol is included, but I want to see if it will remove sunscreen stains around sleeves and collars, as nothing else seems to work. Aversions to fragrances and smells is not always a choice when your body reacts poorly to them.

@@charlenecastaldo3602 I have a strong sense of smell so I understand not being able to handle some. There are some that will give me a migraine instantly and get sick to my stomach and sometimes vomit. I'm glad Pine Sol isn't one of those smells.

Good to know

Wow! Who knew!??!!!

Oh, thank you!! 🥰🤩 You are a life saver!

I do that too but I also spray it onto my counters and use a paper towel/cloth rag to wipe it up, cleans so effectively and if you have a tub of pinesol water and a rag it is a cheep easy alternative to Clorox Wipes!!

It also distracts the smell for Bears and Raccoon’s.

Wow! My daughter has this problem as well. I always use a lot of vinegar and scent beads. I can’t wait to buy pinesol.

Double like 👍🏿👍🏿❤️❤️

Does it kill little teeny black ants? I’ve tried everything! Every spring they come up 4 floors from the pool area🙈🙈🙈

@@daynaanderson2630 lol that’s when I bring out the Bagon 🤣🤣🤣 I have trouble with ants in some pots around my swimming pool as well, I use neem oil, a concentrate that you mix with water and put in a spray bottle, I get it from the plant shopped it’s safe for pets.

@@daynaanderson2630 Buy ant traps they work. Ants are harmless but annoying.

@@daynaanderson2630 YES Dayna~THOSE!! My mother-in-law calls them "black pepper bugs" It most certainly DOES kill them, oh my goodness, the bane of my existence until I figured it out! Plus, it's a repellent, they won't come back~same w/peppermint oil, just for a change of scent now & then. Put some on cotton balls/squares, & tuck them in & around everywhere. Be sure to re-dab them every week or so, & it effectively keeps away every pest/rodent known to mankind~ woohoo!🤸‍♀️🎈🙌

That little brown bottle is hard to find!

Oh yeah. I like the ole school Lysol also. It helps keep my washing machine fresh

I know people who refuse to sleep in thrifted sheets that have been sanitized... because they're used. But those same people sleep in hotels. Your grandma's sheets sound amazing! I'm going to look for some lysol.

🌹👍

@@annierae6355 I bought a 4pk of the old school Hospital Lysol at a decent price on Amazon. I will have it for a good long while, I suspect! ;) It doesn't smell pretty - but it DOES always smell so CLEAN after I mop now - Noticeably fresher all through my house

What’s old is new again. I’m over 60 and never heard this before. 🤷‍♀️ Plus, it’s good for everyone, young & old, that didn’t know. Have an awesome day ! 🌞

@@maggieguzowski768 I'm 64 and my Mama was always a little ahead of her time. 😉

I’ve started using some in laundry, but not sure “how much”, do you have a recommended amount?

@@kellyrush8714 I would think it depends on how dirty much sanitizing you want. I would start with 1/3 to 1/4 cup to start. When my Mama was sanitizing soiled sheets, she used a cup for a large load. Hope this helps. 🙂

@@kellyrush8714 - it’s probably good to start with small amounts of Pine-Sol in the laundry. Machines today often don’t put as much water in as the old ones did. Also, when I used it to disinfect a friends' linens that had gotten very damp and stinky inside of a house that had been flooded for a week (Not things that have been in the actual floodwater, just things that have been in a hot, humid, nasty moist environment in Southeast Texas during the summer flooding), I didn’t feel like I used all that much Pine-Sol but everything came out smelling really strongly of Pine-Sol. Yuck.

Yes! I discovered Pinesol got rid of that mildewy smell years ago. It's a miracle! Also it has eliminated athlete's foot in my household. Socks and towels always get the Pine-Sol treatment...

Thanks! This is just what I needed to hear for what I’m dealing with.

I used to put Lysol in my husbands laundry. He was a plumber and we all had to get hepatitis shots so that started it. Now I use Lysol laundry.

Thanks for the tip!

Great info...We have an iron filter which is a joke, as the manufacturer keeps sending crew members out, and no one can figure out why the thing is gurgling so loudly at 3 a. M. And they keep charging fees to come out. I notice that my laundry doesn't smell as fresh as it should, and I have switched detergents...using Tide powder now. I detest those little beads of scent...They all smell the same to me. Never fresh, just sickeningly sweet. I prefer men's cologne fresh ocean scent. Too expensive to use for a nice clean laundry scent. Lol

I like lysol lemon scent

I use lysol spray and Simple Green 🌲. Pine Sol is good but Simple Green is a cost effective way to do simple household cleaning.

used the brown bottle of Lysol with my cloth diapers. Never had diaper rash issues.

@@JustCallMeLiberty I like the 🍋 type too. Clean Linen scent is ok. I used to get the lemon type Pine Sol & Dollar Tree 🌳 version 2017-2018 era.

I also love Pine Sol, one other thing I have used for water damage material that still has a little musty smell is Lavender hand soap.

Loop loo

JenJ: And what exactly is the recipe?

@@violetviolet888 did you get the pine sol recipe ?? and will you share ??

Please share the recipe ??

Hi @Chad Hazard, I lost my mom in May of 2020. I feel for you. It is difficult not having our moms here with us physically any more. They are with us in our memories all of the time. Sometimes we can even hear their voice or when we see something that reminds us of them it can bring a tear of joy 😂 or a tear of sadness 😢. As time passes and our coping skills improve it does get a little bit easier to handle certain moments that can be especially difficult. I miss my mom an awful lot 😞 but on the bright side of things she is no longer dealing with all the things that caused her pain. She no longer lives in fear of what might happen next. She is finally at peace.

@chad - So sorry for your loss - I lost my mom 5 years ago - life is just never the same once you lose your mom - just remember that she loved you so much & would want you to live your best life & be happy - blessings to you 🙏

I totally understand, Chad. 💜 Mother’s Day is always tough for me, too. My mom passed away when I was nine, in 1994, from breast cancer. I just cannot believe it’s been 28 years without her. And while I love spending time with family, I often just spend Mother’s Day alone (which works because I don’t have kids.) For me, it works out better that way- by myself, I’m able to breathe easier and process my feelings better. It’s harder when I see other people with their moms; reminds me of her absence too much. They only person I prefer to spend Mother’s Day with is my older sister (she’s nearly 16 years older than me, and has become more of a mom to me than anyone or anything else.) And while she has kids (2 daughters, who I adore more than anything else) becoming a mother didn’t fill that hole left over from losing our mom. She gets sad on Mother’s Day, too. What I’ve learned throughout my life, is that there are some wounds that never heal. And that’s totally okay!! We just need to learn how to *carry* *them.* It’s crazy to think anyone could ever “get over” or truly heal from such a deep loss. It’s okay to feel pain and sadness on holidays & birthdays without them. Just remember to give yourself grace- the time and space to feel what you are feeling, acknowledge your reality and your experience. Set aside a little time to let those emotions come to the surface, allow yourself a good cry. We cry for a reason, and it’s a good thing. It’s healthier to express painful emotions over suppressing them. It doesn’t always get easier to deal with, but in a lot of ways, it does get better. I can’t predict those ways for you, since we’re all different. The most important thing is to just take care of yourself emotionally- give yourself the grace to grieve, and be kind to yourself! 💜💜💜 Losing your mother is truly difficult, and I sincerely hope that you can learn how to carry that wound with infinite compassion for yourself. You deserve it.💗

Hi Chad!! Hugs and love to you! I lost my mom as well a month ago and mothers day was difficult! 🙏

I'm sorry for your loss. We love our mammas, there will never be another but the love she gave will last your lifetime. Sending love and prayers for your continued comfort in these difficult times.

Same here!

Fabuloso used to have an Orange scent which was amazing! The have a Lemon and a Citrus Antibacterial. I mix these two. Lysol Orange smells great but it's a bit expensive. Give me Fabuloso!

VERY GOOD TIP

Thanks for the tip about getting the regular scented one.

Also splash free bleach does not disinfect. It right on the bottle. To disinfect you need the original “splashy” bleach.

Oh thanks for the heads up about that!!

@@JanetJayeCrochet Had no idea....grrr TFS !!!

Hey could you tell me exactly how you did it if you don't mind.

Can you tell me the ratio of pinesol to vinegar please?

@Christine Smith Hello, Christine. I use a detergent cap full of each. If you have the larger sized cap (ex. From Costco or BJs), use one of each. For regular sized caps use two of each. Let the Pine Sol and the Vinegar combination run through the Pre-Wash cycle and then add your detergent in the Wash cycle as normally. It works. Hope this helps 😊

@Gabby Kent Hi, Gabby! I use a detergent cap full of each. If you have the larger sized cap (ex. From Costco or BJs), use one of each. For regular sized caps use two of each.

@Salsa Soul thank you so much for replying! I appreciate it and will try now!

I’m potty trained right now! Thank you!!!

did you ever have any issues with your kids having skin sensitivities with it?

Odoban is great for that too.

I used it for my childrens diapers when they were babies. Now I use it for my dogs diapers. No urine smell at all.

That's a new one for me. I've always used it to eliminate the mildew smell and it wipes out athlete's foot too so I wash my socks in it. I'll have to try it on the dog pee spot.

It not supposed to be in contact with your skin. Laundry will have residues. Unsafe, bad idea.

The smells of toxic fumes are worth it

I have been using pine in the laundry since I was a little girl. My grandma taught me. The clothes are so clean and fresh.

I had a skunk spray under my back porch and the smell permeated inside. I used peroxide, Dawn, hot water and scrubbed my walls and floors. Then I put bowls of vinegar all throughout my house and in two days the smell was completely gone.

@@Sabbathissaturday oh wow thanks! Great feedback, and I love that vinegar is enviro friendly & super cheap 🥰

I would stick with vinegar

Vinegar can't be used in front load machines. It breaks it down faster and voids the warranty.

@@sharkgirlloveschewba What does it break down exactly? Our front loader is 16 years old and hasn't missed a beat. Have been using vinegar from day one.

My thoughts too when she said that towards the end. That is sweet of her. I feel you about the family and holidays. I spend mine alone by choice. Better that sometimes. Wishing you blessings and peaceful holidays 💛

Easy does easy does it Psalms 37:10,11

God bless you Patty. So sorry for your pain. Find a really loving Christian church. (Not all churches are good so keep visiting them until you find an exceptional one.) A nurturing church family will help you heal from not having been born into a good family. When you don't feel like you're enough, your heavenly Father is. He loves you so much that he paid a great price for you - his only Son. Be blessed.

@@logicalblueberry I’m a true faithful Christian. But you’re right. It’s not easy finding a good church. And I have trust issues from bad pastors I’ve had.

Thank you so much for sharing about Lestoil. I found it in stock at our local Ace Hardware. It is less expensive on Amazon though.

Hello there 👋🌺

A husband should help his wife. Let's all quit giving men a pay on the back for doing what they SHOULD be doing. As far as the word "couples goals" I almost think it's bad luck. If I sound jaded and bitter I am..so F everyone..lol

@@flashyfun5500 I get what your saying, I still think it's cute. I also believe it should go both ways. Hope you have a good weekend.

May I ask how much do you use for a big load ? I wonder if you can use that Fabulouso in the rinse water or in the wash water too.

I use the lemon one too, I use the lid of my detergent to measure it....I add the same amount as I do the detergent. brillo brand has a version of pine sol also that's exactly the same.

We have Dettol in Canada too. Pretty sure it has more of a medicinal smell if I recall.

Great to know. Can you use it in a big Green Machine carpet cleaner? And what proportion to water if so? Thank you!

@@HappyLife-wv5ms Hi, I am no expert as far as dilution ratios, but am sure in moderation is safe to add to any DIY machine. Be careful about creating too much foam though. Maybe try about 4oz./gal. for starters, as an addition to your regular detergent, and add a tiny bit of defoamer if possible.

@@ronrobbins2737 Thank you so much for your speedy and comprehensive answer! I really appreciate it. Cheers 😊

I'm going to try too! My husband does alot of mechanics and gets oil/grease all over his clothes. I use the Dawn 4x and it gets the oil out of his clothes❤

lol

My favorite clothes to wash is my whites because of the smell clorox and bleach mixed with pine sol is so refreshing

@@MKD-dd6ng lol

Spilled a whole tray of fried chicken down the front of me. Lestoil got it out. Never used pinesol will have to give it a try

You brought back some great mini-memories of coming home from school. Thank you! 🤍 *I do love the smell of PineSol!

Thank you so much- I am still to this day grateful for your kindness. Sending you love!

@@DoItOnaDime ~So add 1/2 cup (4 ounces) of Pine Sol to each laundry load "together with" regular laundry soap. Is this correct.??

Just found your channel! So glad I did!

@@DoItOnaDime what about a three year old washing machine?

Im pissed about the picture shr looks like a nut case but I will have to come back.

Do use it as well on your clothes to remove stains? Thanks in advance. 🙂

@@AnforjesusYes, I do.

Thanks for sharing! :)

The first time I saw someone using time saw it was a Mexican woman at the laundromat when I lived in California I asked her why she did it and she told me why and I have been using it ever since

Abuelas from around the world always know best! 👍🙏❤️🌈💞

@keyshia coleslaw Fabuloso is great on laundry also 👍🏼

Hello there 🌺👋

Hot water and dry everything really well!

An option would be getting an old Wringer Washer. If you have a place to drain water it can work for you. Line dry. WAY cheaper than laundromat.

I wipe it out before I do laundry

I'm washing mine by hand. I bought an electric clothes spinner to thoroughly spin the water out after wringing them by hand. I have no vehicle, no washer. I also use white vinegar in my FINAL rinse (by hand). It keeps the ants off my clothes on the outside line. My clothes do not smell like vinegar.

@@setapart6613 very expensive if you can find one that doesn't need parts you can't get anymore

Yes!

Yeeees odoban is another that works for ALL your house hold cleaning and sanitizing needs .l have 2 gallons of it rite now .....AND the spray too lol 😆

ODOBAN ....The best if you have pets 👍😎

I love that stuff and I literally clean every where with it. Love the smell.

@@mightystrong5484 I also have 2 gallons! I order it through chewy so it's just $9.99. I kept my old sprayer and just mix up my own.
