This is also true for other detergent remaining in the detergent dispenser, but it's a common complaint that's often wrongfully associated with the pods themselves.

And a bonus fun fact about Rock City Coffee (according to the packaging of their coffee) -- they're an employee-owned co-op! I've still got a couple other decaf flavors of theirs to try, so expect more reviews of their other decaf varieties soon! #decaf #decaffeinated #CaffeineFree #coffee

What do anxiety, bicycles, and appliance gimmicks all have in common? They're what I've been up to recently! Is that a weird way to start a video? Probably. But it's fun! #bicycle #bikes #TrailBiking #anxiety #appliances

In this video, I go over the following refrigerator "gimmicks": Fully Convertible Temperature Fridges (any zone can be fridge OR freezer temps) "Garage Ready" Fridges Spherical Ice Slam-Resistant Doors Convertible Temperature Drawers #kitchen #refrigerator #fridge #IceMaker #GarageReady

Biking this abandoned road was absolutely incredible, and I can't wait to do it again! Hopefully I'll be more used to biking hills by the next time I visit. haha #bike #cycling #trail #nature #abandoned

I don't know that I'd ever call myself a "queen," but it definitely gave me a good chuckle seeing it on the box! haha #mail #unboxing #coffee #calendar #lol

While these gimmicks were certainly more luxury than the rest, the way they're designed is simple enough that if it's something you want, I say go ahead and get it!

Spherical ice has been a refrigerator gimmick for the last decade or so, and this is how I feel about it! While having a dedicated countertop ice maker for sphere ice may take up extra counter space, countertop spherical ice makers are more reliable than the refrigerator type.

When I worked as an appliance repair tech, we referred to the first cold snap of winter as the beginning of "garage fridge season," because that was the time of year when the people who had refrigerators designed for indoor use only would call to say their fridge wasn't cooling correctly.

A LOT of people ask me about "air fry" mode on ovens, and here's the answer! Having a convection oven is a great option if you want to "air fry" food in larger quantities. #AirFry #Oven #Convection #ConvectionOven #AirFryer

The concept of the oven turning on both the bake and broil elements simultaneously to bring everything up to temperature faster debuted in the 1950s and is a feature that around 90% of ovens today currently have.

Yesterday, I shared this video without realizing that the subtitles stopped after the intro. My apologies! Here is the fully-captioned video (minus the intro so I don't get in trouble for "double posting" content).

These "safety knobs" claim to prevent pets, children, or anyone who might bump into the knobs from accidentally turning them on. In theory, this is great, but a more cost-effective and disability-friendly version of this concept already exists.

The fine print under the claim that this oven is "the only oven that reaches 750°F+" reads: "The only residential freestanding ranges and built-in wall ovens available with a cooking mode designed to achieve temperatures 750°F or higher.

All-in-one washer/dryers (the type where washing and drying happens all in the same drum) are fantastic if you have a need for them, but a separate washer and dryer will always be the more effective option. Regardless, get whichever option suits YOUR needs!

If you've ever had eggs freeze in the refrigerator, this might be why! The best place to store eggs in most fridges is on the door because it's the farthest away from any vents, but if you HAVE to store them on a shelf,

I've been looking into a TON of the new appliance "gimmicks" I saw on my trip to the home improvement store! Looking forward to sharing that information with y'all once I've gotten it together in a video. :) #Appliance #ApplianceRepair #gimmick #WashingMachine #Miniature

When it comes to dryer venting, clean or replace your dryer's venting once a year. Keeping up with the maintenance on your dryer vent can not only help to prevent a dryer fire, but it can also increase your dryer's efficiency in getting laundry to dry faster! #dryer #laundry #DryerVent #DIY

When it comes to dryer venting, sometimes just fitting the clamp over the end of the new venting is the hardest part! This is a clip from a long-form video I made on how to replace your dryer venting, which will be coming very soon! #dryer #DryerFire #DryerVent #DryerVentCleaning #ApplianceRepair

I haven't been in a good enough headspace to make much new content this week, mostly from being sick and not being able to do much for the last week or so.

This is NOT sponsored--just a clip from a recent live stream (from May 21, 2026). I like the color of my hair whether it's freshly dyed or several months faded, which is why I've stuck with this color for as long as I have. #BlueHair #Teal #Hair #HairDye

Unsurprisingly, the plumbing in this house was very DIY and wasn't the greatest... I do occasionally make appliance repair videos, but only for repairs that are simple and lower risk. However, the main focus of my content is and always will be appliance use and care!

Tiny stove, BIG update! If you have any questions about what materials or methods I used for any of this, feel free to ask! I would estimate that I've put about 10-15 hours of work into it so far, but I'm almost done! #Crafting #stove #range #ApplianceRepair #miniature

Regarding getting mold at the end of the waterline and on the dispenser, you can do your best to clean the area with food-grade distilled white vinegar (which gets rid of mold but is still food safe),

If your dryer is squeaking, it's better to have it fixed sooner rather than later! The longer you let it go without repairing what's causing the squeak, the more likely you'll have to replace MORE parts--plus, a squeaky dryer is always a potential fire hazard.

If you're experiencing an issue with your washing machine (or any appliance, really) immediately after purchasing it, always check to make sure it's installed correctly first, even if you didn't DIY.

"How to do laundry" is more of a complicated question than you might think, because there are a lot of factors involved!

Is magnetic dryer venting effective? Sure. But is it really worth the money you spend on it if it poses a safety risk? That's entirely up to you, but personally, I wouldn't trust it in my own home.

Regarding micro-etching and not pre-rinsing your dishes, that's information that I learned directly from the scientists at Cascade on one of my visits to P&G headquarters. I've also had a handful of customers and have spoken to many of my followers who have personally experienced this phenomenon!

THE REASON WHY I DON'T RECOMMEND ATTEMPTING THIS* (*unless you have the proper experience to do so!) is because you can create a LOT of water damage in a VERY short period of time if you don't know what you're doing!

These are the most important steps to take to prevent mold from forming in ANY washing machine!

Have you ever heard of dryer lint "pearls"? These spherical bits of lint form as tiny bits of lint makes its way inside the dryer's "baffles" (the fins inside the drum that help the clothing tumble as it dries).

Crafty people--I require your input! I'm leaning towards buying two stamps and doing it that way, but I would really prefer not to buy anything new. I've got a TON of craft supplies, so if anyone has a better idea that has worked for them, I'd love to hear it! #craft #miniature #dollhouse #kitchen

I attended TWO live tapings of the Late Show with Stephen Colbert! (Part 2) #TheLateShow #StephenColbert

I attended live tapings of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert twice, and both times, it was an unforgettable experience. I am so incredibly grateful for everyone who worked on The Late Show in any capacity. Thank you for everything you did, and will continue to do! #TheLateShow #StephenColbert

Dishwasher and dishwasher detergent manufacturers agree--rinsing your dishes before loading them in to the dishwasher is NOT recommended! If you feel like your dishes aren't getting cleaned even when following this information, make sure you're:

Unboxing decaf coffee from @schuil.coffee.co! DISCLAIMER: Yes, I am aware that decaffeinated coffee still contains small amounts of caffeine. The amount of caffeine in decaf coffee is not enough to affect me in the ways that I want to avoid. #coffee #Decaf #DecafCoffee #unboxing #MailTime

Part 6 of the vlog from my visit to P&G HQ in Cincinnati, OH! Visiting these labs was one of the most fascinating parts of this trip, which is why I wanted to talk about it despite not being able to film there. #GiftedTrip #MassSpectrometry #EnvironmentalStewardship #laundry #LaundryDetergent
