- Hi guys, welcome back to my channel.
In today's video, I'm gonna share with you
10 cleaning hacks that everyone should know.
Now that the summer holidays are over,
I am definitely getting back into a routine
and cleaning more, so I wanted to share these
with you today, and I am so excited because this video
is also a collab with a YouTuber I have followed for ages,
it is Myka Stauffer.
If you don't follow her,
definitely go and check out her channel.
She does the best speed cleaning videos,
organizational videos, weight loss videos,
day in the lifes, I love her channel,
so definitely check her out
and what we're gonna do for this collab,
because we couldn't film it together
because she is obviously based in the States,
and I am over here in England, so we have both filmed
10 cleaning hacks each, and we are going to mix them up.
So I have five of Myka's on my channel
so you can actually see and meet her
and then she has five of my hacks on her channel.
Go and check out her channel after this
for 10 further cleaning hacks
and I hope you like this video.
Definitely give it a like if you do
and I will know to make more, and if you are new here
from Myka's channel, thank you so much for checking me out.
I would love for you to subscribe and stick around
if you like what you see, and yeah, let's get into it.
In my first hack, I'm gonna give you two ways
to make your house smell amazing.
You can either use cinnamon for this hack,
if you want your house to smell like a bakery,
or what I really like to use is the Lenor Unstoppables.
These are scent boosters that you normally put in the wash,
but they have little pellets like this
and if you Hoover them up, then when you are running
around your house vacuuming and they heat up,
it will give off that lovely scent
that the Unstoppables have.
- [Myka] Hey guys, Myka here.
My first hack for you is to get a seam ripper
to clean out the hair built up in your vacuum.
I know this one is kind of gross
and I know it looks super nasty in my vacuum
but at least I'm getting to it now
and I cannot believe how quickly it got rid of the hair.
This was a really cool hack that I had never used before
and a good friend had actually told me about.
- [Emily] The next hack is a really easy
and natural way to clean your shower head.
All you have to do is get yourself a Ziploc bag,
fill it up with vinegar,
and then wrap it around the shower head like this.
Just secure it with an elastic band.
Leave that for one hour and then give it a good scrub
and it will be as good as new.
- [Myka] My next trick is to clean your microwave
faster than ever before.
You might've actually heard of this one.
I've heard of it a couple times and I started using it
and I really like the way that it works.
You add a bowl of water, you can use water or vinegar,
I used vinegar with a little bit of lemon
and then you pop it in the microwave for about five minutes
and the steam from the water or the vinegar
really helps break down any of the dirt and grime
that's built up in your microwave
and you can just wipe it away.
- [Emily] And if you get oil stains on clothes
like I do all the time, one really good thing to have
to hand in your laundry area is some white chalk
because that will take away the stain.
If you rub the white chalk all over the oil stains
and then wash your item of clothing as normal,
the stains will completely come out.
- [Myka] If you have any shirts or towels
that are starting to smell like, kind of mildewy,
I hate that word, but they're just starting to smell
really sour and disgusting, throw them into the wash,
use your typical laundry detergent,
and also add a cup of vinegar
and a half a cup of baking soda
and this really helps break down that smell.
Sometimes you can get the smell all the way gone
in the first time and sometimes you'll have to do it twice.
- [Emily] If you think water collecting
at the bottom of your toilet brush is disgusting,
then this hack is for you.
When you clean your toilet, a really simple hack
is to wash it off in the clean water that is coming out
when you flush and then just leave it with the lid on it
to dry for about 10 minutes or however long it takes you
to clean the rest of the bathroom
and then when you put it back
in the brush holder, it is dry.
- [Myka] Next, attach a microfiber cloth to a broom
or maybe one of those long sticks.
I detached one of my mops, it looks super awkward
and super funny, but I use one of my mop sticks
instead of using the actual mop,
and then I attached a little microfiber to that
because it kind of made it a little bit more,
it made it smaller and a little bit more focused
so it wasn't all over the place, if you will,
and it does honestly look super goofy
but it was super helpful.
Instead of me having to climb up
on all of these high levels, I was able just to kind of
wipe it here and wipe it there
and all of the dust was pretty much well collected.
- [Emily] My next hack is to get yourself
a cleaning caddy like this.
I picked this one up in Dunelm's
and I love that I can easily carry around
everything I need when I'm cleaning
and in mine, you'll see I have lots of pink cloths
and also blue cloths, and that is because blue is for loo
and pink is for sink.
This is just a silly thing that I do
so that I don't cross contaminate
but I thought it was quite a cool hack as well.
- [Myka] My next hack is to dust off light bulbs
whenever they get dusty.
So if you're noticing maybe the lighting
is a little bit dimmer than what you're used to,
just dust off the light bulbs
and it makes a huge difference.
- [Emily] So, thank you so much for watching.
I really hope you enjoyed this collab
