0:02
doing our special video today however it
0:05
is just as fun and just as informative
0:06
and today if you guys need a little bit
0:09
of help cleaning organizing or just
0:10
keeping the home neat this is the show
0:13
for you so without further Ado let's go
0:17
[Music]
0:31
foreign
0:33
good morning everybody my name is Rob
0:35
right over there oh over there whatever
0:37
somewhere over there that's my mom you
0:40
can call her Karen and this is all to
0:41
universalive the series that covers
0:43
usually things uh
0:46
I can speak nerdy and geeky however
0:48
today we're going to go over some
0:49
organization tips which I guess for some
0:51
is nerdy and geeky for those of you who
0:53
like to organize
0:55
um and we have some tips and tricks that
0:57
should help you get your home night meet
1:01
that I can speak nice and tidy uh in a
1:05
short period of time
1:08
um so we have three topics at hand that
1:11
I thought were interesting enough to
1:12
talk about first one here is how to
1:14
organize those small spaces so now we've
1:17
talked about it before whether you're
1:19
living in a tiny apartment
1:21
or you just have a home or rooms that
1:23
are smaller than usual it doesn't mean
1:26
you can't make it nice neat and maybe
1:28
even beautiful so Pine and
1:31
prospecthome.com has seven small space
1:34
organization tips for you to do number
1:38
one use the decor items that you already
1:40
have sitting around the house it could
1:43
be statues it could be candles it could
1:45
be these guys I got behind me it doesn't
1:48
matter what it is but you're going to be
1:49
saving money because you already have
1:51
purchased the items and most of the time
1:53
you can reconfigure them as you'd like
1:55
throughout the phone if it's in the
1:58
kitchen maybe it's salt and pepper
2:00
shakers we have a couple I think it's
2:02
two little bunnies that go together in
2:04
the living room it could be candles or
2:07
statues in your office it could be
2:09
setting it up the way you like it
2:11
um but using items around the home it's
2:14
pretty cool
2:15
um as you you know I do it here you can
2:17
tell I know you have some stuff in the
2:19
back you have some Jewish stuff behind
2:22
you you have some picture stuff like
2:23
that right
2:24
um you have your lavender thing as well
2:28
um but decor items are you know never
2:31
enough and if you know for some reason
2:33
you want something new go pick up
2:35
something usually you can get decor
2:36
items for pretty cheap at a local Bed
2:39
Bath and Beyond or a Home Goods store
2:41
right number two use magazine holders
2:45
for all of that leftover paper or
2:47
magazines if you have them
2:49
um it's kind of like there's things used
2:51
in school when you put your file folders
2:52
together they're small they're sleek and
2:56
you could fit a lot of them in a small
2:57
space
2:59
so if you are somebody who has a lot of
3:01
paperwork or somebody who has a lot of
3:03
magazines or books lying around but you
3:05
don't have the bookshelves to hold them
3:06
why not buy a couple of these These are
3:09
super inexpensive Staples has them you
3:11
can get them for five or ten bucks a
3:13
piece it doesn't have to be fancy though
3:15
if I want to you can get the and it
3:18
doesn't even have to be something that
3:19
sits on your desk could be some one of
3:21
those magazine things that hang on the
3:23
wall so now you clearly there you go
3:25
yeah there you go didn't think about
3:27
those so those are grade four but yeah
3:29
but not just for magazines it's great
3:31
for any loose papers let's say you clip
3:33
coupon stuff like that you can slide
3:35
papers into those whether it's on the
3:37
wall or on the counter and it saves you
3:40
lots of space number three is something
3:42
we do we have those foldable baskets
3:44
that you can actually prop down and pop
3:46
back up but baskets are a great way to
3:49
do it they may not be aesthetically
3:51
pleasing all the time however what we
3:53
have it's actually fabric which we'll
3:54
talk about in a minute as well but you
3:56
can get different kind of baskets you
3:58
can get the ones we have have that fold
3:59
down because when you don't use them you
4:01
can slide them in the closet doesn't
4:02
take up space but they're great for
4:05
everything from pet toys to
4:08
I don't know uh miscellaneous items
4:11
maybe in the bathroom if you just need
4:13
to throw a couple things in there you
4:14
can pop in those baskets in the bathroom
4:16
it really fits almost any space and if
4:20
you are inclined for color or Texture
4:22
that matches with your room you can find
4:26
baskets that do that but number four I
4:28
like a little bit better because it's
4:30
Fabric and that's kind of what you have
4:32
on there and fabric is used for one
4:33
purpose only on this one it's to hide
4:35
things but also make it look like it's
4:37
supposed to be there it's a piece of art
4:39
that's not really a piece of art
4:42
I like that because you can do
4:44
everything from wood and um Rattan I
4:47
think it's that wrapped uh wire or you
4:50
can do something soft you can do kind of
4:52
like a fluffy you can do something
4:54
smooth
4:55
but I like fabric fabric in general is
4:58
pleasing to the eye and if you don't
5:00
look twice
5:02
nobody's going to know that it's
5:04
actually purposeful they're just like oh
5:06
cool you got some nice little funky
5:08
looking thing on your cabinet that's
5:10
kind of neat yeah right you know I
5:13
Rattan I use Rattan and I actually use
5:15
it in my pantry I have a bunch of Rattan
5:19
bins or boxes and those sit on the
5:23
shelves in the pantry to keep everything
5:25
organized so I have all my baking stuff
5:27
in one I have all my soups and you know
5:30
macaroni and cheese and another one and
5:33
they keep things and you can just pull
5:35
out the entire basket which is kind of
5:36
cool there you go now speaking of the
5:39
kitchen why not use some glass as well
5:41
if you want to have something that you
5:43
want accessible that you know what it is
5:45
put it in a glass container it could be
5:47
anything used from food or kitchen items
5:50
to let's say paper clips pens all that
5:54
stuff in your office as well but these
5:56
guys recommend using glass for those
5:58
things that you're going to touch
5:59
probably 98 of your month and you want
6:02
to know where it is so versus the fabric
6:04
storage bins that cover glass containers
6:07
are purposely open so you can grab
6:09
immediately and not have to be searching
6:11
around for whatever number six and I've
6:15
talked about this on my other shows
6:16
before utilize your furniture nowadays
6:19
couches beds and I think even chairs
6:22
will come with built in underneath
6:25
storage so for instance you can get
6:27
couches from like an Ikea that when you
6:30
pull out the bottom there are drawers
6:32
you can get beds that are now built
6:34
where you can pull it out and put extra
6:36
clothes you can put shoes whatever it is
6:39
um but you can also kind of add to it a
6:43
lot of times on YouTube I've seen people
6:45
build little things that go with their
6:47
couch or go with their chair and it also
6:50
doubles as storage so not only did they
6:52
build maybe a side table but that side
6:54
Table Walla has a drawer that you can
6:57
throw extra stuff but it's kind of neat
7:00
to know that furniture is made that way
7:02
now because it you never had that you
7:04
never your bed was literally just off
7:06
the floor or your couch was just so they
7:09
had like Ottomans and that go with
7:11
couches where the ottoman
7:13
is your is your table your your actual
7:16
coffee table but it's it's an ottoman
7:17
and it opens up and you can oh there you
7:21
go okay blankets and toys and stuff like
7:23
that which is kind of cool and you have
7:25
those foot stools that actually are you
7:27
open the lid you could throw something
7:28
in there and then you put it back on and
7:29
it's a footstool again right the last
7:31
one on the list they say look up many
7:34
times in newer houses you're going to
7:35
have all coves and areas that are built
7:38
higher up well you might not be able to
7:40
reach all the time but why not throw a
7:43
couple things up there that maybe you
7:45
don't use often but would look good as a
7:47
decorative thing you know take your
7:50
ladder
7:52
um throw it up there you could put stuff
7:54
like I guess pictures that maybe aren't
7:56
going to change you could put things
7:58
like
7:59
I don't know maybe lamps if you need
8:00
more higher lighting that you're not
8:02
going to move think of things that
8:04
you're not going to want to switch
8:05
because obviously you're not going to
8:06
want to be climbing up and down every
8:08
month but think of things that you might
8:11
have lying around the house or maybe in
8:13
storage that you want to put back in the
8:15
home but never out of spot you can do
8:18
that too now the only downside to that
8:19
is you're obviously going to want to
8:21
dust it so obviously think of things
8:23
that may not get too dirty or you're not
8:25
going to care if it gets too dirty
8:26
because obviously you don't want to be
8:28
doing that up and down right but it's a
8:30
pretty neat idea I think because yeah
8:31
there's a lot of unused space going up
8:34
that you know even on these you can't
8:37
see them but the top of the bookshelves
8:38
they're flat so I need extra space
8:41
and a lot of our kitchen cabinets don't
8:43
go all the way up to the top of the
8:44
ceiling either so you have that there
8:47
you go on top of the cabinets I know in
8:49
our kitchen you've been in the kitchen
8:50
we have we collect Penguins so they're
8:52
literally like marching penguins at the
8:54
top on above the cabinet so again I love
8:58
that look up what a great comment look
9:00
up there you go all right so that was
9:04
ways to decorate or to organize your
9:06
small spaces now no matter what size
9:09
space you have you're going to want to
9:10
keep it clean and organized no matter
9:13
what so the mythical Maids gave us this
9:16
wonderful blog and they have what do
9:19
they call it keeping your house
9:20
organized tips and tricks so again these
9:23
are pretty standard things to do but
9:26
we'll go through just a few of them here
9:28
so they recommended doing these what are
9:31
these these six things first off put
9:33
away the items after you use them
9:36
I go a step further and say put them
9:38
back where you have them originally so
9:39
you remember where they are so for
9:41
instance scissors seem to like to float
9:43
around the house I try my best to put
9:45
them back where they were so I have one
9:47
pair my office one pair in the kitchen I
9:50
think she has a pair in her office as
9:51
well so if you're going to grab a pair
9:53
of scissors but it goes somewhere either
9:55
do what you got to do where it is or put
9:58
them right back where you go generally
10:00
speaking though anytime you do something
10:02
put it back where it's supposed to the
10:04
last thing though you want to do though
10:05
is just clutter up other drawers which
10:07
is why I stay when you take something
10:09
out of one put it back into where that
10:11
one is so at least you have the you know
10:15
um what do you call like the uh
10:17
Fixer-Upper drawer scissors push pins
10:20
plus drawers the junk drawer well it is
10:22
a drunk drawer I guess but you know
10:23
don't make it too junky make it you know
10:25
right so putting away your items up to
10:27
use them it's kind of like you know
10:28
clean up your toys after you're done
10:30
it's a habit to do but once you do it
10:33
regularly you'll start doing it more and
10:35
more often number two clean up a little
10:37
bit every day I call it spot cleaning um
10:40
I'll do this in the bathroom I'll do
10:42
this in the kitchen
10:43
um if I see something on the floor I'll
10:45
grab a Swiffer do that as well nothing
10:48
big you don't have to do it for more
10:49
than maybe five or ten minutes if you
10:52
want to go full go for it but this is
10:54
one of those things where if you have a
10:56
few minutes between your meetings
10:57
between your work whatever grab a a wipe
11:00
grab a dish cloth and just wipe
11:02
something down right it'll make it that
11:05
much easier when you do go do your full
11:07
out cleaning because you'll have already
11:10
probably done about 50 percent of it all
11:13
you got to do is pretty much finish up
11:15
and maybe just do a quick little over
11:17
you know overhaul of whatever it is and
11:20
you'll notice that when you do go back
11:21
to do a full cleaning you're like oh
11:23
this is only going to take me like 15
11:25
minutes because I've been you know
11:27
keeping up on it number three make your
11:29
bed when you get up we talk about this
11:31
in multiple reasons but it really is
11:33
easy to do and really it's a matter you
11:35
know fluff the comforter put your
11:37
pillows up and you're done
11:39
um the only time I really go for full-on
11:42
bed is when I clean the sheet and then
11:43
I'll go back on and I'll make sure
11:45
everything's nice and good but really on
11:47
a regular day getting up it's just a
11:49
matter of straightening it out and put
11:51
your pillows
11:55
starts the day nice you know when you I
11:57
and there are so many studies that say
11:59
when you make your bed in the morning
12:01
the rest of the day goes pretty damn
12:03
well there you go number four
12:05
interesting one here I didn't think
12:07
about this one empty your sink or
12:08
dishwasher every morning now obviously
12:10
if you don't have things in your
12:11
dishwasher it doesn't matter but this is
12:13
more for like let's say you left a cup
12:15
in the sink or you left whatever quickly
12:17
you know hand wash and do whatever put
12:19
in the dishwasher and then go on with
12:21
your day
12:22
um this actually would be helpful
12:23
because I know I just ran a load of
12:25
dishes but I forgot to take them out so
12:27
maybe check in the dishwasher
12:29
semi-regularly would be good if I did do
12:32
a load I'll be like oh I can put them
12:34
away make a habit make it like every
12:37
night I start the dishwasher before I go
12:38
to bed and in the morning when I get up
12:40
at you know four
12:42
um I empty the dishwasher that's my
12:44
habit
12:45
um and that way we have enough drinking
12:47
glasses and plates and everything else
12:48
that we apparently went through the day
12:50
before so make it a habit guys there you
12:52
go don't leave trash around pretty
12:55
self-explanatory you don't want to be
12:57
dirty you don't want to leave trash
12:58
throw it away and the last one here
13:01
clear out the Clutter so while you're
13:03
throwing away your trash throw away some
13:05
things I might just be sitting around
13:06
that you don't actually need
13:09
so so far so good guys these are pretty
13:11
quick and easy things to do if you're
13:13
just joining us now we're talking about
13:14
ways to organize and clean your house
13:17
lastly a room that I love a lot it's
13:20
kind of like my Fortress of Solitude I
13:22
guess the laundry room sometimes it's
13:25
hard to keep clean sometimes it's not
13:27
this particular website
13:29
apartmenttherapy.com has 19 organization
13:32
hacks we're only going to go through a
13:33
few because that is a lot to go through
13:35
right now but these are ways to keep
13:37
that one room nice and organized first
13:41
off if you can and most of the time it
13:43
comes with it already install a counter
13:45
or get a counter area for the room they
13:48
say put one on top of the washer dryer
13:50
that might be Overkill I would say put
13:52
something in there that you have a flat
13:53
surface to do the work now I'm lucky
13:55
enough I got a sink in mine which is
13:57
great I can wash up while I'm doing it
13:59
get stuff nice and clean if I have to
14:01
pre-wash whatever
14:02
but have this a flat space to put your
14:05
uh the clothes you're going to do your
14:07
laundry materials whatever if you can't
14:11
get it on the cabinets at least you have
14:13
a flat spot to put it there right number
14:16
two use a tray to keep everything
14:18
decluttered again I'd say one or the
14:21
other if you can't get a countering get
14:24
a little decorative tray throw your
14:26
laundry detergent your um dryer sheets
14:29
whatever it is you use put it in a
14:30
little area maybe get yourself a tiny
14:32
little um you know table or something
14:34
and just put your stuff in the tray on
14:37
there again really the best thing for
14:39
this is to keep yourself organized and
14:41
as they say you might find those coins
14:43
in your pockets so you want to put it
14:45
somewhere while you're putting the
14:46
laundry away and then you can go and
14:48
take care of the stuff that you forgot
14:50
to take out of your pants pockets
14:52
number three hide baskets under your
14:55
folding station or anywhere
14:58
we're watching a show the other day
15:00
where they installed a laundry chute in
15:02
somebody's house you don't always get a
15:04
laundry chute so why not put a hamper in
15:06
there now for me because of how
15:08
everything is laid out it takes me two
15:09
seconds to walk it back and forth I'm
15:11
good there but let's say you're in a
15:13
two-story house let's say your laundry
15:14
room is inside your bedroom
15:16
you might want to have one in there so
15:18
we have a clean clothes hamper and the
15:20
dirty clothes I'll bring the dirty
15:21
clothes hamper and dump the clothes in
15:23
bring that back to my closet I will have
15:25
the clean clothes hamper in there when
15:27
it's done and then walk that back when
15:29
I'm done unloading the clothes in our
15:32
bedrooms uh but baskets can be used for
15:35
anything as well again it's more storage
15:36
it's more decorative and all that good
15:38
stuff
15:39
you can use attractive containers and
15:41
this goes back to the glass containers
15:43
as well something that you can see out
15:46
of if you need it
15:47
if you use an ironing board use a robe
15:50
hook that you would use to put your
15:51
jackets up and hang your ironing board
15:53
on a rope hook less nailing into the
15:56
wall because you can use those command
15:58
strips and it's a place to keep your
15:59
iron
16:00
and I think the last one will go here
16:02
use magnetic Clips to hang your lost
16:04
socks usually if I lost my socks I
16:07
usually just throw it out because I
16:08
can't find the other one but in case you
16:11
think you're going to find your other
16:12
sock grab a couple
16:14
um Clips to hang on the wall and you can
16:16
hang your missing socks where do those
16:18
socks go rob where do those socks I
16:21
don't know it's it was I don't know I I
16:24
don't know I just did laundry this
16:25
morning and we literally have six one
16:28
socks six pairs of only one sock each
16:31
I do not know where the rest of them are
16:34
I don't know
16:36

16:37

16:39
tricks help if you weren't able to join
