Vanesa suggests cleaning out your trash can whenever you swap out trash bags.
Next, she says: “[Another mistake is] using a feather duster instead of a Swiffer duster. [Swiffer dusters] are the best. [Feather dusters] suck.”

“[It’s a mistake] thinking about your bathrooms are clean, when in reality when you use a blacklight, you’ll be able to see that there’s dirt literally everywhere,” she says.
She shines a blacklight over the corners of her bathroom floor to reveal the grime.
After that, Vanesa tells her viewers to fold up their reusable plastic bags into small triangles.
She shows an example of what not to do by zooming in on a box of messy, puffed-up plastic bags.
