Best hacks I have ever seen. The chalkboard was my fav as I messed it up already.
I just found your channel and I love it. The brush cleaning will save me so many headaches.
Tip3 you shouldn't be using any oil for scissors or etc. Machine oil is for that kind of situations. And Tip1 i bury these knife parts into the plant soil. Some time passes, it rusts and dissolves.
Lemon oil also works like a dream to get sticky (not hardened) glue that won't come off glass or metal!
I use a lot of packaging tape, the bread tie hack will save me lots of time and even more frustration! Thanks.
Wow! Thank you!!!
2:30 Possibly clean glue residue before sharpening?
Thanks for sharing. Great hacks.😊 Ann from Va.
My favourite is the bread tab for sticky tape s
Finally something thats actually useful and not a waste of time
Great ideas
I just watched this video and it was so great I decided to subscribe without even checking what other videos you have. I actually found several of your tips to be fantastic! I thought I'd probably have heard of most or they'd be lame not really useful ones, but as I said I was very pleasantly surprised. I'm so glad I gave it a chance! 🙂 thanks!
In hack 4, I would suggest using vegetable (cooking) oil. Also use it in my chain saw as a regular oil, as is recommended by the manufacturer! No worries about contaminating anything it touches, and completely safe for the environment.
😊👏👍
Babyoil is very good for removing markers and stickers.
Now I don't want to know what hand sanitizer is doing to my hands😵
The hand sanitizer to clean brushes and sticky off of jars! These hints are super!! And I am using all the hand sanitizers I have !!
I like to paint my parmisan cheese with a paint brush that’s been cleaned out with hand sanitizer and then throw in a few painted wooden balls
Excellent! Bread tab and glue stick tips for me!
All great hacks, ty
Razor blades can be recycled. Earth911 Oil, even a drop of vegetable oil breaks down the sticker residue.
Good grief !! The glue stick one has frustrated me terribly! I can't believe it never dawned on me to do that! Thanks so much!
Some very clever ideas!
Another thing to use on an old paint brush is hair conditioner.
Thank you, Ill be on a lookout for that parmesan jar. Hand sanitizer would also help with the permanent marker on the white board. And thats perfectly good way to sharpen your scissors in a hurry, but in a long run, I warmly recommend having a sharpener, plus having different scissors for paper and fabrics (paper dulls them like no other). Greetings from the land of Fiskars 🙂
Isopropyl alcohol removes permanent marker from dry erase boards
Great hacks
These are great ideas! Tfs
A Hack video with hacks that actually make sense! Very helpful!
Clean the scissors before sharpening. Take an old large washer-about the size of the bottom of Parmesan container and hot glue it to the bottom on the outside. This will make it a lot more stable and less tippy.
I had a few favorites! The E6000 was one I will surely use and sharpening the scissors as well. Thanks for sharing!
I would do the E6000 the other way. As you use it, fold the tube from the bottom. When you get to the top, cut just below the wide neck. You'll have much more in there and can use a small scoop or q-tip etc to get it out and use it that way!
My favorite was the dry erase marker. Who knew?
The hand sanitiser needs to be alcohol-based for the brush and glue residue hacks to work. The one Deirdre uses is 74% alcohol.
Nail varnish removers containing acetone (not all do!) or WD-40 spray will also work for both the brush & glue hacks. 👍🙂
Sissors
Wd40 is good to clean sissies too
Great ideas especially the bread tag and using the d hair dryer to remove labels. Ruth down under
