Don't just throw away those chicken bones! Place them into a crock pot with some water, dry bay leaves, peppercorns, salt & a cut up onion - cook for about 4 hrs on high or on low overnight -- makes the best chicken stock for soups or gravy!
@animerlon 23 дні тому
Throwing away bones is such a waste. I get a rotisserie chicken 2-3 times a month & save all the bones, then boil them up every 2-3 months. Once the stock is done, to save freezer space, after removing the solids, i boil it down so it's very concentrated & then freeze it in ice cube trays. When frozen, i transfer to a ziplock.

The easiest way is to when u take your sheets off to wash them, just put them back on when dried. No folding
@suebard7 11 днів тому
I do that with the fitted sheet, but to make it easier to place the top sheet evenly across the bed, I fold the top two corners inside out so the center fold can be placed down the center of the mattress. No more moving around to get it centered.

Distilled white vinegar works wonders for urine smells. Depending on if it's a sofa vs something that can go in washer might have varying results. For our dog or kid stuff I'll do a wash with vinegar, pretreat with vinegar if really bad. If that doesn't cut it then I wash again with a heaping scoop of just baking soda in washer, pre soak cycle.

The jeans back may work if you're slim or built more straight up & down hip to waist and have longer legs, but most women's jeans haven't fit my curves since I was 13, and I'm short enough that women's "short" lengths are too long for me. They just don't make men's jeans in the dimension combos to fit my body

I have a really swayed back so my bum sticks out like J-Lo lol but it means jeans often gape at the back.

They're usually in NZ anyway, in the men's section/stores but they are 1000x more comfy then a regular belt n don't cut it when you sit down!

We kept a few cans of shaving cream on the supply cart and used it in place of soap to get your patients bottoms clean. Just be careful not to get crazy with it or you’ll be forever getting it cleaned up. If you are taking care of a loved one at home I hope this tip helps.

If you put the pegs across one side of the leg hem you won't get awful peg marks BUT hanging them upside down means the thickest part - the waistband & pockets) are the part flapping in the wind so they dry much quicker.

I saw a guy on TikTok or Instagram (neither of which I'm on -- someone posted his video to UKposts or their website) about a year ago, and he couldn't believe it took him until he was 30 (or was it 40?) to learn the rolling motion while cutting the butternut squash.

Once grapes are off the stem, put them in a bowl with/lid (about 2x size needed to fill bowl) add (depending on amount of grapes) 1-2tbs baking soda 1-2 tbs salt. Shake, rattle & roll for a few minutes. Rinse well. You will have not only CLEAN grapes but beautifully SHINY grapes! Squeaky clean baby!!! 😊

Shaving foam works very well for cleaning upholstery. When my children were little and spilled or smushed stuff into couch cushions, I’d foam the cushions, work it into the fabric with a wet rag, let it dry, and then vacuum it a few hours later.

If you have the time and desire, you can freeze the carcass until you collected enough chicken bones to make a stock/broth. Just boil/simmer the bones in water for a few hours, strain, and freeze the broth in an ice tray. Stock is anywhere from $2-$4 depending on the brand. Yet, its so easy to make and it makes me feel less wasteful. Just some food for thought and your belly! 🙂

That's how I fold my fitted sheets, BUT when you hang them on the line to dry hang them like a U shape, so one edge on one line then other edge on the next part of the line (the 2 outer lines of ur typical 4 sided square clotheslines as they're obv the longest, plus being hung over the 2 lines makes them dry quicker). Peg ur sheet corners at each end, then when you get ur washing in you can fold the corners into each other as you take it off the line & it stops ur sheets getting all creased - so beautiful & smooth when you put new sheets on ur bed!! A trampoline is fab for folding the sheets as you go, esp if u have pets & don't wanna fold ur sheets on the floor. Also, I fold my matching duvet cover & pillowcases with the cases inside the folds of the duvet. When you've folded it & are about to do the last 2 or 3 folds, put ur folded matching cases inside it before/as you fold the cover - you never lose ur matching cases!

Most of these hacks I’ve done for years… I’m surprised that people don’t know how to fold a fitted sheet, I’ve been folding them just like this for as long as I can remember… but it does not take nearly as long or as complicated as it seemed in the video. It’s really pretty quick especially when you do it a couple times. Also instead of bundling sets together with the flat sheet wrapped around I just stick the bundle inside one of the pillow cases from the set and wrap the excess around to close it up, but I do like the flat sheet idea also!

There is also a hack, but I cant remember exactly how it goes, but when making the bed, if you start in one certain corner of mattress, put corner of fitted sheet on that corner, guarantees you'll be putting the sheet on correctly everytime....instead of trying to fit it on, just to find you're using the wrong side of your sheet......

I loved, loved, loved seeing you fold your sheets like I do! Once you master the fitted sheet folding it takes no longer to fold your linens than if you struggle doing it all the time, it minimizes wrinkles and folding the fitted sheet and pillow cases in the flat sheet makes it easy to make a bed because every item for that size bed is contained in one bundle. I know many people have no desire or care to properly fold sheets this way and stack them neatly like you did, but it’s not just about an aesthetic look it’s about not have a jungle in your linen closet to dig through or fall on you as you look for the right items to make a bed- I also know folks who only keep 1 set of sheets for each bed so they don’t have to fold the sheets after laundering- each to their own I guess! Thanks for the tips.

New realization! I have been fold fitted sheets & creating bundles & zipping them back in their original plastic packages. I have 2 sets for warm weather & 2 flannel sets for cold weather. I just realized it’s because we didn’t have a dryer (so they wouldn’t necessarily dry by nightfall) for almost 40 yrs of marriage. Now we have a dryer so I’m considering eliminating 2 more set and only folding the bundles twice a year. This will save space as well as time. I do feel a sense of satisfaction from zipping the neatly packaged sheet set together and am not willing to give up flannels. Not sure how I’ll handle the bed being unmade while the laundry is being done but as I work toward minimalism, this excites me! Thanks bor the video & comments😁
