And the jets should be cleaned out as well.

@sk8690 15 дней назад

OMG, yes! I had one in a new house, and had no idea… eventually I realised that there was something sinister in the jets… it took filling it with super hot water and biological laundry powder, and putting hte jets on for 30 mins… the black stuff that came out was like… sushi type seaweed, SO gross. I ended up closing up the jets, and just using it as a bath.

@hyacinth4368 10 дней назад

Once lived in a house with a round type bathtub. I don't remember if it was a whirlpool tub, because I only used it once. By the time there was an adequate amount of water in it for a bath, all the hot water was used up. I would never have one of those.

Unlike 10 or more years ago, the new stainless steel appliances contain a large amount of nickel(cheaper to manufacture). The HUGE disadvantage to the consumer is that the new stainless appliances rust, now matter how you care for them.

Wicker waste baskets can be washed, as long as they don't have any wooden pieces on them. Run a sink or bathtub with some soapy water, wash them and then let them air dry. Keep them out of the sun when drying as well. It's actually good for certain ones to do this too as it prevents them from drying out. Which reminds me I have a couple about due for a "bath"! (I used to teach basket making.)

Throw rugs ARE a trip hazard. My husband was always tripping in them! When I had my hips replaced, the docs recommended pulling up all three rugs! I never put them back! Especially in the kitchen they’re just a dirt-catcher! They need to be washed often!

@tarynmaria_ 22 дня назад

Dirt catchers and tripping hazards for sure! I have one at the front door to catch dirt but otherwise I've decluttered them :)

@DrMomT Месяц назад

Textured bathroom vinyl flooring is recommended for safety reasons for elderly people. It can help prevent falls and the cushioning/softness as opposed to other harder materials can help reduce the effects of a fall. Picking a color/pattern that "camouflages" more could help.

@tarynmaria_ Месяц назад

Thank you for sharing!

@westaussieeggs8867 17 дней назад

The main point of easy clean flooring in the bathroom is to keep it CLEAN, not to camoulage the dirt. A peice of soft washable bathmat would help with safety in the bathroom as the previous person mentioned.

@mailill 13 дней назад

I once worked in a nursing home where the residents had textured vinyl flooring in their shared bathrooms for that very reason, and they were always disgustingly dirty. I'm not going into details, but it was soooo bad. I'll never forget them.

I have tile countertops and HATE THEM! We remodeled our kitchen 18 years ago but could not afford the granite countertops. My husband had seen a tiled countertop that he thought was so pretty so that’s what we put in. I would rather have Formica countertops than these tiled ones. And the tiles are white with, of course, white grout.

Ahhh I feel your pain! I can imagine that grout being a nightmare!

@lindacarlson8886 Месяц назад

Leah of SeeJaneDrill recommends making a solution of 1 part isopropyl alcohol, 1 part Dawn dishwashing liquid, and 2 parts warm water. She says it's a better grout cleaner than *anything* you can buy. Use an old toothbrush to scrub and a clean, dry cloth to wipe up. Works for me!

I updated my kitchen a couple years ago. I wanted quartz countertops, so bad, but I just could not afford them. This was definitely a budget remodel. So I got laminate countertops. They are not bad. I live in a very small house and a lower middle class neighborhood so I think it’s OK.

I agree with the glass table for the livingroom. Had an all glass with a wood base. Glass had a hairline crack. Glass shattered onto a shag carpet. All got thrown away. No more glass EVER for me. Headboard I agree with even for wood. Hair grease can also get into a wood headboard & cannot be removed. I know I had one. Unless you have some kind of pillow or a towel where your head rest up against the headboard DO NOT put your head near the headboard. Sit upright with one of those tv/armrest bed pillows. Your videos are great & life changing. 🙂

@@HelenaMikas they make the actual Swiffer dusters with the short hand held wand and also the longer wand for higher up shelves, fans, light fixtures etc. The duster fits on the handle.

The dry cloths can just fit into your hand. Either way both work great. Have used both products for years.

I have small area rugs at my 2 entryways and at the foot of my bed. These are to keep as much of the dirt and grass out of my home as I have small dogs that come in and out quite a bit. I recently discovered ruggables, which are washable rugs. There is a base that you put the rug on to. And when it gets dirty, you pull it off and throw it in the washer. The base pad keeps it from slipping. I was told in the past at the senior living place that my mom is at that small area rugs are actually a very bad tripping hazard, for older people.

Great video! I am very allergic to dust mites, which everyone has because they love dust. That’s how they survive. I have gone to great lengths to clean/dust. It would be great to have a video on this subject, because everyone has dust mites so I’ve been told if you have dust. Great ideas of not having items that hold the dust. I do rinse my 2 fake plants in the sink to free them from dust. I may just get rid of them. Have a wonderful day!

@tarynmaria_ Месяц назад

I think if you're rinsing your plants you should be good! Thank you so much for sharing and you have a wonderful day too 😊

@serahloeffelroberts9901 Месяц назад

I take the plants outside and hose them off and let them dry in the sun.

@beatrixbrennan1545 20 дней назад

Get a vacuum with a brush/ dust attachment that is HEPA rated. That should solve your problem.

@susansweat9125 Месяц назад

My French doors had the grid between the glass panes, just like my windows. They make a product that you spray on silk plants and it "eats" the dust.

I made the textured vinyl flooring mistake. I bought a Bissell combo mop/vac…it is the only thing that gets the crud out of the texture. Unfortunately I bought the cordless and it is very heavy to haul around the house….

Thanks for the tips, spot on for so many of these items! Do you, or anyone else, have suggestions for cleaning stainless steel refrigerators? I can't find one that I like.

I haven’t found that I like either! I generally just use a mixture of vinegar and water and leave it at that!

Easy work around for us instead of traditional French doors was to have wood frames made and inserted over glass doors. Slip off the frame, clean the glass, so easy.

As far as the area rugs, when I worked in PT we strongly recommended they get rid of them because they are a slip or trip hazard. We saw many patients that had this happen.

Tufted furniture! I bought a beautiful tufted sofa when I was single. Then I had a very pukey baby. EVERY time he barfed, I was trying to get the vomit out of those little tufts! It was so horrible. Never again! 😅

I use plant based compostable trash bags primarily. I have them in the bathroom upstairs, it makes it easier for me to just take the bag downstairs. No fake plants because yes they get dusty and look bad and also because my cat will chew on them. I don't love or hate my stainless steel appliances, they just there. I have mission,shaker bedroom set and I would love to replace it so I don't have to dust between the slats, I just can't find anything else I like.

Micro Fiber is polyester. Polyester is a magnet for electricity. Electricity is a magnet for dust.

@tarynmaria_ Месяц назад

Yes! So true.

@intherockies 28 дней назад

Lots of plastic in microfiber. They are so bad for the environment.

@beatrixbrennan1545 20 дней назад

Microfiber is a great fabric. It's soft and plush and it really does clean up great. The key is to use an upholstery attachment from a carpet cleaner. Works amazing. And with a fabric headboard you can do the same thing. Buying a darker colored couch because it can hide dirt better is disgusting. Buy leather so you can wipe it off. Never accept dirty furniture to be a part of your house.

Copper sinks can continue to look nice if you dry them after every use (relatively easy to do - works with bathroom sinks too)

@jackiestowe6987 Месяц назад

I have stainless steel everything but mine is touch-less. I wipe them out after each use. That’s my pet peeve to have water spots. To clean your lamp shades use Swifter Sweepers. Only clean one. Silk plants are my most problematic cleaning chore. But I find if you put them in your bath tub or shower, spray them with Lysol and then rinse them off. My husbands dog is the my pain in my side. She is a white Pit Bull and she sheds like crazy! Can I get rid of her?

@sharonh.harris1924 День назад

I love baskets. I never buy the ones made of grasses or leaves because, sure enough, you can't wash them. They will just mildew. But I like the other baskets that have a loose enough weave for good air dry. I collect Longabergers. But I have a lot of other baskets too. I use them for decorating but also they are so useful. Once or twice a year I will drag them into our large shower, the laundry sink or on the porch and I will use Murphy's oil soap, a large soft brush and then rinse them off and let them air dry. My waste baskets are always lined. I use a basket for my desk and I recycle plastic shopping bags to put in it so it's not hard to clean. As I change out seasonal decorating, I make sure to rinse all my fake florals and again I give them 2-3 days of air drying before I put them in storage. I've had them last as long as I needed them to. Then sell them at yard sales. I don't do the houseplant looking faux plants but I love flowers. MOST of the time they can be washed without problems. Sometimes I come across some where the dyes run and those get tossed in the trash. I wish we'd go back to all white appliances. I HATE stainless steel for the reasons you said. First they are overdone and they always look bad because of fingerprints. But, you dare not put in white appliances now in case you go to sell your house. Even if the appliances don't go with the house, it has to be "staged" with stainless steel because people don't have an imagination any more.

Small area rugs are a great or area rugs are needed since we don't have carpet anymore. We live in the North so wood and tile floors are chilly even with wooly socks and or slippers. As a professional cleaner there are rugs that are not tripping hazards and are easily washed now days. A person does not have to live in such extremes.

@JB-gv5ro 26 дней назад

Pleated lamp shades. I keep an oldfashioned hand whisk broom. Not a decorative type. The type with non-synthetic, stiff bristles.....maybe about 8 in long and usually cinched at the top with a metal fastener/loop to hang. Works very well on any shade with pleats or crevices. I would test on a very delicate fabric but I have used this for years while being as aggressive as I need to get the job done with pretty much any shade. No need to vacuum or get other tools out. I would suggest that you use a Sharpie to mark across the top of the little broom "for lampshades only" though. If you use it on floors eventually you will end up with dirt on your lampshades. I am the only one that cleans in my house but I had a guest once who didn't know that it was only used for lampshades and used it to clean up a mess on the floor. It will look new for a very long time when only used for lampshades.

Yes, I wash my pleated lampshades. If they are silk or any type of washable material add a touch of Dawn dish soap to a sponge and wash them inside and outside gently. Then use your dish sprayer to rinse. Air Dry on a tea towel. I do this couple times a year or when any bug might leave a trail on the shade…

11:47 I had a very large jute rug that cost over 3K on sale. Within 3 months of having that rug I wanted to get rid of it. It was gone within a year (for about a 1/3 of what I paid for it) I wear socks around the house and all of my socks were always covered with little pieces of jute fibers which in turn ended up in other rooms and in my shoes.

@tarynmaria_ 12 дней назад

I will say - if you can get brushed stainless steel then go for it! My dishwasher has brushed steel and it's SO easy to keep clean - it never has fingerprints (unlike the shiny dishwasher :)).
