Say Goodbye to Unsatisfying Home Hacks!

1. I love the yellow glove HACK out of the two. The labels blew my mind! What a great idea!

2. Our granddaughter saves her Starbucks drink bottles for me – clean them, remove the label and I use them for bath salts, spice mixes and other things such as candies. They are so cute as gift containers plus (for me) they are free 😁 – Lynn

   1. Thanks for all the great ideas Lynn

   2. I thought of turn those bottles into a vase for flowers.

   3. Try painting them with a coat of Mod Podge followed by 1-2 coats of chalk paint. I used sponge “brushes”. After drying, I wrapped different ribbons, strips of bling, jute cord, etc., around the top…beautiful vases to tuck away in small areas, give as gifts.

   4. I used to save all of mine too, but I stopped when my son used them for a “bottled lemonade” stand 😂

3. To fill up my mop buckets or to refill giant water jugs, I keep a DT Pool Noodle just for this hack. It fits right over the spigot without leaks and keeps the surrounding area totally dry.

   1. I never thought of a DT poll noddle. That is something I need to try as well. Thank you for sharing this hack. 🙏

   2. What a great idea. Thank you!

   3. Why not fill the bucket in the bathtub?

   4. @lillmetoo  my bathtubs are either upstairs or downstairs; but my kitchen, foyer, and the majority of floors to wash, are all on the middle, main floor. Filling a bucket in a bathtub requires lugging up or down a flight of stairs. Using the pool noodle is the easiest option.

4. Hi Liz, I love all of you’re hacks videos. I can’t wait to try to towel hack, label hack & Delaney’s hack but I loved them all. Tfs

5. Hey Liz, you can use a Magic Eraser to clean white tennis shoes (even the bottom sides) to get them and get them looking brand new again, then spray them with rubbing alcohol on the inside to get rid of any stinky feet smell! You won’t have to soak their shoes anymore or use expensive cleaners! Have a great day! 😊

   1. I gotta try this, wow thank you!!!

   2. I like this idea as well.

   3. I find that my magic eraser crumbles in my hand.

   4. @Cheryl Vincent make sure you wet it down well and maybe use a new one. Good luck! 🍀

   5. Any tips for canvas white sneakers? I can’t get mine white for the life of me!

6. And the 👑Reigning Queen of Hacks & DIYs has done it yet again👑 thank you Liz!! In case this might help someone, I will throw in my measly 2 cents.. you know those cutesy, often Christmas themed fuzzy socks that every store starts shoving in your face to buy as “stocking stuffers” well before you wanna even think about the impending cold weather? Well, I’m not sure if they’re technically microfiber or not, but they sure do feel like it to me. So instead of using them to keep my feet warm, I put them on my hands like cute little sock puppets & then go to town dusting the window blinds, etc. I also realized that they’re very useful to keep your plants clean too. If you have 1 on each hand, you can dust off the top and bottom of each leaf simultaneously (huge time & aggravation saver!). And i just feel like I have so much more control as to how slowly & gently I can dust off the more juvenile & fragile leaves. I guess that was a whole lot of writing to ultimately say thank you for always sharing your wisdom with us Liz. You are so kind & generous to do so and you really, REALLY help those of us who struggle to see alternate ways of using and doing things. Once I know the “intended” purpose of an item, it’s damn near impossible to see it any other way, unless I’m fortunate enough to learn from someone else. So when I say that you have been INCREDIBLY helpful to me & so many others and how appreciative & grateful we all are, I truly mean it. Thank you again💛

   1. Great idea and especially for dusting plant leaves.

   2. Might not be able to see things for different purposes but sure could write a good book. Got to reading could not stop and so true about Liz

   3. Thank you for the tip about dusting the plants what a wise idea this is going to be so helpful

   4. What a lovely person you are! I appreciate your little tip for cleaning the plants. I also appreciate Liz’s videos. I don’t know where she gets all her ideas from but I like to learn, especially about simple crafts that I may be able to do. Wishing you blessings from Australia.

   5. Hack

7. I love the towel rack hack, will definitely try that one!❤

8. Thank you for all the clever hacks and particularly demonstrating how to create and use them! Thanks, Liz! 💗🌹💗

9. Another tip is dish washer tabs. Place 2 or 3 tabs minus the red power boost ball in the middle of tab if there. Add really hot water and add white socks (about 5 pairs each time) that are greying. Leave overnight, rinse and they will be much whiter. ☺️

10. Liz, I love the solid ice idea for serving fruit. The yellow Amazon gloves look easier. The dollar bill measuring hack is clever!

11. WOW, I bet that towel rack hack could also be used for yoga mat storage‼ I bought a “small quantity” case of those cabinet shelves online, b/c they literally have not had them in my 3 most local DTs since before the pandemic. I had them shipped to my store, and they took FOREVER to arrive (2 weeks exactly, but it felt like a month 😅🙃)… I KNEW I should’ve purchased 2 orders! Thanks for the tip/demonstration; towels look beautiful that way.

    Edit: Whoooaaa… That dustpan-handle _funnel_ hack…😲🤯❣

12. Hi Liz. I use Dawn Power wash to clean all of my sneakers. Yes even the white ones. The power wash cleans a lot more as well. Gets the yellow out of older lamp shades and many more. I use it to clean my thrift finds as well. Thanks for sharing. I love both of your channels. ❤

13. Thank you for your tips Liz! You’re amazing. I watch you as a stress reliever and for creative ideas-your videos are so informative and Zen! The battery hack blew my mind-can’t tell you how many times I’ve been in that position. Now I know what to do. I haven’t tried the denture hack on sneakers, but I have used it to soak and clean glass, jewelry (gold, natural stones) and pottery. It gets them crystal clean and doesn’t leave the streaks that dishwasher tablets can leave behind.

14. Thanks to you and your camera lady for everything you do. I recently started using those glass bottles from (Starbucks) iced coffee to store spices, them rehuse the tap from the plastic containers and labeled the bottles. They look gorgeous and organized.

15. I do the packing tape label, I often cut out from magazines too. And I LOVE the towel rack!!

    1. Hi. I’m curious about the tape label… how is the tape still sticky enough to adhere to anything, after being in water and all that rubbing?

    2. @JANINE I loved the idea too and am wondering the same thing. How does she adhere it? I’ll ask this question up top just in case she doesn’t see it here. Thanks Janine.

16. Love all the hacks. Thank you. I use the dollar tree blind cleaner with the terry covers. You get 2 covers when your done pop it in the wash. Work great on vertical blinds too

17. The bucket & dust pan hack is something I will try. The dollar store towel rack is clever, those towel racks are really expensive. I wonder if you take that same idea to make a baking sheet, pan, cutting board organizer rack. They are expensive as well. Thanks for sharing, 🙂

18. Love your HACK videos! The yellow glove is my choice for cleaning blinds. I love the solid tray of ice under the tray of fruit the best! I have used the dust pan in my bathroom to get water into a bucket before. You could use the shower head or the tub faucet to fill the buckets instead! TFS!

19. I do the orange peeling hack a lot. There’s another version of it where you cut a little off the 2 ends. Then cut the orange from one end to the other on any side. Open up the orange and you can pick each section off 😊

20. I love the yellow gloves for cleaning the blinds! Home HACKS are essential to keep us working smarter rather than harder. Thanks for all the help 😊
