Today's video is brought to you by ThredUP. And by the way, nothing in this video is over $20. Some items are even from the Dollar Tree. These are my secrets, and when I say they are game changers, I do not take that lightly.

0:11

Anything I recommend to you is the same things that I'm recommending to my mom, to my friends. So when you get it, it actually works. Here's five ways to clean your toughest messes like a pro and do it fast on a budget. And first up, I wanna talk about cleaning chandeliers and beautiful light fixtures. More ornate light fixtures are having a resurgence

0:28

in popularity, and I would love to know in the comments what type of light fixtures you have at home, but whether you have an ornate one or something simple like this, I actually have both in my home, these are one of the toughest, most annoying things to clean cost a lot of money. So enter Briante Cleaner. You just spray and let it drip the dust

0:45

right off of your fixtures.

0:46

Hear me out.

0:47

This is environmentally friendly, ammonia-free, hypoallergenic, and it works on most surfaces. For fixtures like this, I spray it on and then I go over lightly with a rag, but you really don't have to buff it in

0:57

because it will dry clear. So if you're somebody that struggles light fixtures or they look foggy after you clean them, here you can see a side-by-side before and after of what this does. I got a super dusty chandelier second hand. Here you can see how actually dirty this is to test it out so you can see. It's gotta be able to work on the really tough stuff, right? So all you do is spray this on. I do two to three heavy coats of spray. Make sure the fixture is turned off and it's very well coated.

1:28

Then you wanna have a drop cloth underneath so it can catch all of the drops to drip off your dust. The after was awesome. Get off as much dry dust as you can with a handheld duster and this does a great job of giving it that shine. If you thrift something beautiful and amazing, maybe crystal or stemware. All of these were secondhand. I was impressed with this product all over my home

1:47

on crystal. I like to spray this on and wipe away on pieces where I'm able to. It also works really great on collectibles. Yes, I do collect fun animals. Easy, save time, and you don't have to spend a lot.

1:56

I also wanted a lot of these to be eco-friendly. From ceilings to floors, I would be remiss if I didn't mention my squeegee broom. I really like this squeegee broom because it works both on my hardwood floors as well as carpets. Like I can switch back and forth between them. We have our adorable dog, Copper,

2:12

and he comes with a lot of hair. So I can really get this out of the carpet. I can also use it on my hardwoods. Pet hair is a tough mess to clean, especially with a normal broom you're always reaching down to pull the hair off the broom bristles when you know you know. With this product that is completely eliminated and I only need one type of item to work all over my house from hardwoods to carpets.

2:32

I really love that this product is less than $20. I'll be sure to link it on screen for you everything in this video. I wanted to keep it affordable and choose the things that work. Now they have squeegee brooms at Dollar Tree, which are awesome. So if you're not in the market to spend $20, you can spend about $3 from Dollar Tree. Both of these products are easy on your back. Now this one has a more broom-like feature, but if there's ever a dupe for something,

2:53

I am always going to tell you about it and tell you the eco-friendly options too. And stay tuned, I've got a lot coming up. and amazing secondhand finds. I am so proud to say that today's video is brought to you by ThredUP. I have used ThredUP for years. If you are so over fast fashion, not quality made pieces, like you want the quality and the quality brand new with time

3:18

I wanted to put together a week's worth of clothes for less than a hundred dollars. This is a $40 top that I got for less than $10. These Cynthia Rowley flats were $15. They are so comfortable. Retail for $75. So, so far, I spent $25 to put together this outfit. And what's so great about thredUP is you can search with what you're looking for size-wise and style-wise. Ruffles are so in right now. I especially love the color red.

3:46

I think it looks really nice on me. So I found this amazing skirt. This Etope Studio skirt was also $15. It has an estimated retail of $48, but I love the ruffles, the layers, and how well it goes with this top.

4:00

I am all about mixing and matching to maximize savings. So, so far we've spent $35 for two outfits. Think I can do it? Wanna see the next thing I found? Their sales section is awesome. I found this Jason Wu top. Holy bananas, this retails for over $100

4:19

and I got it for 15 bucks. This is the perfect transition from summer to fall because of the short sleeves, the texture of it. I love the neckline and I love combining it with these jeans. These pants are from Spanx. They retail for $100. I got them for $26 on ThredUP. They also work really well with this top and my thing is you mix and you match, right? Because these pants can go with

4:47

this top and I love that I can button it up like all the way. I like changing it up a little bit. Like sometimes I have it all the way buttoned. Sometimes I have a little bit undone, but. And what is not to love about a $15 dress moment? Now this is a Stanton dress.

4:59

It retails for $78 and I got it for 15 bucks on ThredUP. And what I love about a dress is that a staple like this that's so nice and neutral, not only is it adorable, not only does it have pockets, ladies, yes, I find it really helps to type in smocked dress, bodice top, neutrals. Absolutely click my link down below.

I curated some of my favorite really affordable picks from ThredUP literally just for you. And I did it in a wide variety of sizes. I'm so grateful for ThredUP for being such a faithful sponsor and getting to share these awesome deals with you guys. Plus using my code DIME50 at checkout you're gonna get an additional 50% off your first order plus free shipping. Stay tuned because I think my favorite product of this video is actually the last one. I really am just a thrifty girl at heart, right?

5:46

From my clothes to things from my home, you know I like to thrift like $300 lamps. I get them at the thrift store for five or six bucks. One of my favorite thrifted pieces is my vanity that literally is from the 1920s and it was so dirty. So what better than to show you how I got it looking like this one that was retailing for $1,000 online. Cleaning those items can be a challenge.

6:06

So my two favorite products are Parker and Bailey's Lemon Oil Polish, as well as Silver Cleaning Wipes. These are game changers. The Lemon Oil Polish is an eco-friendly alternative, and this works so much better than any spray you could buy.

6:22

This stuff goes on so smoothly. It smells absolutely amazing, and I use it with my reusable paper towels. This is great for anything that's mahogany or wood. It's gonna bring luster and shine back and this company has been in business for over a hundred years. The lemon oil blend provides first aid to older furniture surfaces by replacing lost oils and it's also dusting at the same time. It's really a two for one. It attracts dust as well and leaves a great shine.

6:47

And when it comes to polishing things, I love my silver polish wipes. This is like the lemon oil of the silver and brass world, polishing and cleaning. Carbona brand is often at Dollar Tree, which is really cool,

6:58

or you can get these white packs on Amazon very affordably too. They're awesome on gold, brass, and silver. I've used them on thrifted picture frames down to thrifted jewelry. This is a gorgeous handmade piece that these wipes cleaned up very fast. It's also really satisfying.

7:13

And I promise to always share with you Dollar Tree items that I find that are just as good as the name brand items. The Dollar Tree Jewelry Cleaning Spray. This came out within the last year. I've seen tons of people haul this but I haven't actually seen anyone try it on camera. Like I couldn't find a video. It cleans gold really really well as well as silver. I was

7:32

impressed with this product. I do recommend wearing gloves when you're using it but it's a great find and an awesome price. Here you can see the before and after of this necklace. It did a great job. These two cleaners are so good. Like, as I'm sitting here filming this video, I'm like, oh my gosh, I really hope that you try some of these products. Oh my goodness, I wanna talk about walls.

7:50

For many years when cleaning, I have used Zap spray to clean my walls. This stuff is fantastic, I still recommend it. But what I don't love about Zap is it's not is eco-friendly. And what's more, you do not sacrifice how well it works. Kathy and I were smiling at the marketing on this. Like,

8:15

this bottle looks like it wouldn't really do anything. Like, it's not that great of a product, but once you get it on the wall, it smells really good and it took a lot off. And we have some dirty walls at my house, especially because the kids run their fingers along the wall. And I would say it kind of smells a little bit like fresh laundry, like baby laundry scent a little bit,

8:36

like kind of that Pampers, Dreft scent. Like if you were to combine like a fresh Pampers and Dreft together, that's a little bit what this product smells like. So it smells like very baby fresh and it did not give me a headache. And I also love using it with my wall cleaning broom.

8:51

This one is awesome and it's a dupe for a $50 broom, but this one costs just $20. This is a new to me product and I love combining these two together. Now, yes, you could just use a rag, but the wall cleaner itself gives you a lot more torque and motion. I can extend the broom out a lot further so I can get higher up walls if I need to around the house.

9:09

This is a super good product purchase for me. And again, it was less than $20. Maybe you have an older home or a space that's filled of clutter, it's not clean. I will tell you this, if you can just clean and declutter the space. You are 90% of the way there. I really feel like clean is the new brand new.

9:27

Clean is the new organized, which is why hopefully videos like this are helpful. You can take things that just might need a little bit of love in your house and they'll feel brand new. I wanna talk about outside because when you know, you know.

9:38

Do you have something that is vinyl, plastic, or stone and it's oxidized, faded, maybe it has sun damage, water damage, and it's just looking really dull. Our mailbox was absolutely this way. This restore wipe, you wanna make sure the box is clean, but you go over it in one clean motion per area. You don't have to keep re-going over areas,

9:57

just a single swipe, and it is going to restore it to make it look new again. This is also great for lamps. Maybe you have lamps that have been really weathered on the side of your garage. The ones on our porch were looking pretty dull. I will link both for you.

10:11

This comes in a spray as well as a pre-saturated wipe. I really like these because I was able to do four light fixtures and my mailbox with just one wipe. The before and the after. Like literally this makes such a difference. As with anything in this video, always test at an inconspicuous area first, but there are so many things these wipes can do.

10:28

Front doors are another really great one. You came to this video so I could do the work for you and let you know.
