Hi, guys. Welcome back to my channel and to a Lazy Cleaning Hacks video. You guys seem to love the
last one that I made like this. So I'm back again with some more hacks for you guys. And although I
am calling them lazy, really they are just clever shortcuts and easy ways to clean things around
your house. So I hope you really like it. If you haven't seen the previous video,
I will link that in the description, along with my cleaning playlist as well, because
I make so many videos like this. So if you're not subscribed and you like this kind of thing,
please consider subscribing just by pressing the red button below. But, yeah, with all that
said let's get into today's 12 cleaning hacks. Okay. So first up, I wanted to share with you
the best way to clean a beauty blender or makeup brushes. I've used this for years and years and
years, and it works every time. If it's really dirty, you can soak it in warm water and then add
some dishwashing soap and also some olive oil. I add them in equal parts, and the two combined
just really break down any of the makeup and grease that's on your beauty blenders.
If it's not even that dirty, you can actually just put straight onto it the dishwashing soap
and the olive oil, and then kind of just rub it in with your fingers, rinse it all out, and you'll
be amazed at how clean it actually comes out. My next hack is a great, lazy cleaning hack.
It is to use the Duck Fresh discs, which you sometimes put into your toilet, in the bin. So you
can actually open it up, add one of these to the lid, and then every time you use the bin, you'll
actually get a nicer smell. This one was actually peach and it really does work. You can smell it.
It almost works better than putting Unstoppables in the very bottom of the bin, because it's right
at the top, so you can actually smell it. This next hack might mean you never have to
full on wash your shower again. It is to get a Dishmatic like this, fill it up with your
favorite bathroom cleaner, and then keep this in the bathroom or in the shower somewhere near,
so that when you are actually showering, as I'm demonstrating here, and if you see some dirt, you
can actually use this while you're in the shower. Maybe you're waiting for your conditioner to set
or soak in, and you can just give it a quick spot clean so that you don't actually have to
fully clean it every week, because you're constantly spot cleaning it as you wash.
This next one is one I saw on TikTok and it literally blew my mind. It said not to do your bin
the normal way that you would, like shake it out and then push it to the very bottom. But instead,
an easier way to do it is to shake it out. As you normally would turn it upside down and then
do this. And it becomes like an umbrella, and you can actually just put it straight to the bottom.
And it's very easy to then put your bin bag into the bin. I love this one.
This next one is a hack that professional cleaners use. They say not to just
look at a surface from the top, but instead to get down on the same level of the surface,
because you can see so much more dirt that way. So even once you've wiped down a surface,
do the eye test. Go down to the same level and you might see some more crumbs or some more
dirt that you are actually missing. This really does work. Give it a try the next time you're
cleaning your kitchen, and you might be surprised. Next up, I wanted to show you how to wash a hat so
that it doesn't lose shape. If you've ever seen my husband on this channel, then you may know
he wears a hat almost every day. So we do need to wash them. I was washing them in a dishwasher
for some time, but actually I found this cap cage on Amazon. It's really, really cool. You just put
the cap in it like this and it makes sure that it doesn't lose its shape and you can actually just
stick it into the washing machine like you would other clothes. So I just put my detergent in as
normal, and I actually put clothes or towels in as well. I feel like it gets cleaner when
there's other things in there, but you just pop it in. And then I normally wash it on 30 or 40
and it comes out so clean, smelling really nice as well. And obviously it doesn't lose its shape
at all. This is a really, really great thing to do if you do wear a lot of hats. If not, washing
a hat in the top tray of your dishwasher also keeps its shape. So I would also recommend that.
Next up I wanted to show you something that I recently got. These are shoe covers.
So as some of you will know, we're currently having renovations done and we're about to get
our carpet redone upstairs. But these are so handy. You know if you ever pop out and then
you forget something, you need to run back upstairs, but say you've got boots on. You
can actually just pop these over your shoes and run upstairs. This has also been great for us
because we've had so many builders and decorators and things like that coming in. And they always
are really polite and say, "Oh, do you want me to take my shoes off?" But now I can just say,
"Oh, don't worry. You can just pop these on and come upstairs." And honestly I love this one.
The next one is a way of cleaning your air fryer. I actually only made sweet potato fries in it
today, so it's not too dirty, but especially if there was something cheesy in there, this is a
really cool way to clean it. And I actually saw this on TikTok. It was shared by Drew Barrymore
of all people. So even she has an air fryer that you basically just put dish washing soap in,
warm water as well. And then you actually just turn it on. So depending on how dirty it is,
depends on how long you're going to put it on. I normally do it for a preheat. So it's just
five minutes on 205. So it just almost soaks it, obviously heats it all up, and it really does help
to get the dirt off. But if it was really, really bad, you could even put it on for 10 minutes,
15 minutes. But then once it comes out, all you literally have to do is give it a really
quick scrub and rinse and it is nice and clean. The ultimate lazy cleaning hack is to get yourself
a vacuum that will run around and vacuum all by itself. A few of you guys have asked where ours
is, but it actually broke in the move, and I've been waiting to get another one when our open plan
area is all done. It really does pick up a lot. This is what it picked up with just one full house
clean. This was upstairs as well. You can have it upstairs or downstairs, but I pretty much just
used to have it in this open plan area. And what I would do is when I took the boys up to the bath,
I would just turn it on. You could do it from an app on your phone and it would run around,
get all of the crumbs up from the day. The one that we had would vacuum and also mop
at the same time. It was such a game changer. So I can't wait to get it back for when our open plan
area is all done. And I know I'm going to use it daily again. So, yeah, that's a really good one.
The next tip is a way to get motivated and also a bit of a shameless plug,
but I know so many of you guys watch my videos for motivation, and that is such a good way
to actually make yourself want to get up and clean and organize is to watch cleaning content
on YouTube or TikTok or something like that. I actually watch quite a few TikTokers as well now,
but I love to turn something on, even on my TV, and then clean along with it. Or you could have
it on your phone as well. It really does just make you want to get up and clean.
Next up I wanted to talk about the Scrub Daddy. I feel like I'm so late to the game when it comes to
Scrub Daddy. They're so cute. They're are these little sponges, but I didn't realize that you
can actually put cold water onto it and it makes it really hard. So you could actually really give
something a scrub. And then if you put hot water onto it, it makes it really nice and soft. You
can use this for so many different things. And one thing that's really cool is because of the little
mouth and eyes, it's actually a great way to wash cutlery. You just put it into the mouth and even
the eyes. It's actually a really good way to wash the straws that are on the boys' bottles or the
metal straws that we use as well. So I'm actually really loving using the Scrub
Daddy. So I wanted to show you guys that as well. And then another thing, which I've actually shown
you guys a couple of times, it is a coverless duvet. I know these are called comforters in
some countries. But I got one for Caden's bed and I just love how easy it is to make his
bed. I literally just give a shake, and because I don't have to worry about sheets or a duvet inside
that's going to move around, it always looks really, really clean and sleek on the bed.
Right, so that's it for this video. I really hope you enjoyed it. Let me know what you
think in the comments below and also share any of your own cleaning hacks, because I'm sure we
would all love to read those. Thanks again. I'll see you in my next one. Bye, guys.
