TikTok houses plenty of content, but you might not think to look there for cleaning hacks. If you’re intrigued and love cleaning tips for your facility or at home, keep reading for some of the best cleaning hacks we spotted on TikTok. Give them a try and see if they work as well as people claim.
Scrub Couches with the Lid to a Pot
This sounds made up but people say it works to remove spots from your couch. Boil some water and drop in a laundry pod. Then wrap a saucepan lid with a cloth, then carefully dip it in the bowl of boiling water. Hold onto the lid handle and scrub it all over your couch. It’s a cost-efficient way to make all of those dark spots disappear.
Use Foil in your Dishwasher to Get Shiny Silverware
If you add a ball of aluminum foil to your dishwasher’s cutlery basket before you run it, your silverware will come out shinier. During the wash cycle, the foil oxidizes the soap detergents and causes an ion exchange, making the soap work better. Basically, the reaction between the foil and soap lifts tarnish.
Place Toilet Gels on the Inside of Trash Can Lids
We’ve all opened a trash can to smell something awful. This handy TikTok hack says to place toilet gels inside the lid of the trash can to keep it smelling fresh. Just like the toilet gel deodorizer keeps your toilet fresh and clean, it can help with the odor from your trash can as well.
Brighten Your White Tennis Shoes
If you have some shoe soles that used to look white but have yellowed over time, there’s a hack to brighten them. Look online or at beauty supply stores for Salon Care 40 Volume Creme. It’s a product with hydrogen peroxide that will help brighten your soles. Paint the product on only the soles of the shoes and don’t get any on the upper part of the shoe. If you do, simply wipe it off with a damp cloth. You’ll want to do a few coats of the product if your soles are super yellow. Wrap the soles in plastic and set your shoes in the sun to cure for a bit depending on how much you need to lighten them. Rinse off the product with a damp towel and let them dry.
Clean Your Air Fryer by Running it with Soap and Water
Air fryers are such a handy kitchen appliance, but cleaning them is a pain. You can run your air fryer with some water and dish soap. Fill the basket with water and a few drops of dish soap. Set the air fryer for three minutes at 390. Once it’s done, dump the soapy water down the drain. It’s fast, easy and doesn’t require any scrubbing!
