(upbeat music) Ahoy, Rache!
And I'm the Chief Stewardess on a yacht in Tahiti.
I've been working and living on this yacht
for the past five years, and I'm going to show you
my five star yacht stew tips that you can apply at home.
As stewardesses, we are often detailing the yacht.
What is yacht detailing?
That's cleaning every single surface
to keep the boat looking brand new.
And when we do this, we use three main products
throughout the detailing.
Vinegar water is great because it kills bacteria
and it's eco-friendly. You can make it easily
with two parts vinegar and one part water.
You can use it on almost every surface around your home
except for stone. Do not use vinegar water
on marble or granite.
Anywhere where there's germs that you wanna kill,
you can use alcohol water
with two parts alcohol and one part water.
A soapy water is great for cleaning
more sensitive materials, such as marble and granite.
But you can use it on various surfaces
throughout your house.
With a tablespoon of a natural dish liquid,
then diluting it with water.
Clean!
Onboard the yacht, we have two very important tools
we use to clean small nooks and crannies.
The first one is q-tips and the second one is toothpicks.
After we wipe the ceiling, we go through it with a q-tip.
Q-tips are great for corners, small crevices,
sensitive materials, and for apply small amounts of product
onto a surface or a fabric.
And if you need something a bit more abrasive
than a q-tip, that's where toothpicks come in.
How to fold a towel so it's neat and tidy for the head?
For the first step, you'll put the front side,
or the side of the logo, facing down.
Roll one side,
if you have a logo, it will be that side,
up a half inch.
Next, you're gonna fold it into thirds.
And the final step is to roll the side with the logo down
and then you're gonna tuck the other side
inside the little hole underneath
and it makes a fun pocket towel fold just like this.
Toilet paper fold.
First you fold up to this side, a half of a square.
Fold this corner up to meet this side.
You'll have a triangle; flip the triangle up.
Flip this new fold up. Next, you bring the corners down.
And you fold it back down.
I'm gonna show you my favorite napkin fold:
the rose napkin fold.
First, you take your napkin and fold it in half,
rolling from the longer end to the pointy end.
A half of an inch halfway down.
Flip it over so that the folded part touches the table.
And then we're gonna roll it horizontally
from one end to the next.
And then you'll have this end that you're gonna tuck into
the last fold of the napkin.
And the final step to open up the rose
is to take these two bits, pull them to the side,
and they form your leaves of the rose.

Knives go on the right, and spoons and forks go on the left.
Last course will be on the inside,
and your first course is on the outside.
And dessert cutlery goes at the top.
Bread plate goes on the left. Your bread knife at the top
with the sharp edge facing left.
Our water glass, white wine, red.
And then your salt and peppers.
Last but not least, napkin.
Those are some of our tips from our home to yours.
We hope to see you soon!
