Hi, guys. Welcome back to my channel. In today's video, I'm going to be sharing with you 10
cleaning hacks that I found on TikTok. Some of these are really, really good, so I'm excited
to test them out. So I hope you really enjoy this video. If you do, give it a big thumbs
up. And if you're new to my channel, I would love you to consider subscribing. With all
that said, let's get into the hacks. This first TikTok cleaning hack that I wanted
to show you blew my mind. I had no idea that you could even do this. Comment below if you
guys knew that most toilet seats come off very easily for a deeper clean. This lady
showed that hers just had these little two buttons on hers, and then it literally pulls
the seat off. So we're going to see if mine does. I'm a bit nervous about this, because
we've had this bathroom for 10 years and I've never taken the toilet seat off. So it might
be pretty disgusting if this works. So let's give it a go.
On our toilet seat, if you lift it all the way up, you will see there are two little
buttons here. And the idea is if you push them in together, it just comes, Oh, here
we go. So the toilet seat literally comes off and you can clean this area a bit better.
You can see there's actually loads of rust on mine. So I'm going to try and give it a
scrub. I also always really struggle to get all of
the dirt down this bit when the seat is on. So with it off, I can actually reach it.
And in the boys' bathroom, the seat easily comes off as well. It's just got these two
silver buttons. All you have to do is push them in and pull the seat off, and it literally
comes away so easily. Then you can clean it a bit deeper. And I just never knew that you
could do this, because I personally never installed a toilet. I didn't realize it was
that easy. So yeah, hopefully you've learned something as well.
This next hack is a way to deep clean and fluff up your carpets. All the girl used on
TikTok was a squeegee. So I've taken this out of our shower, and all she did was almost
pull back the carpet, and then you wouldn't believe how much dirt came off of hers. So
I'm going to give it a go. And I thought it would be good to try it here, because I'll
often put on my makeup here or blow dry my hair, so it might be dirtier than the average
space. So we're going to try it. That's disgusting.
Oh, my gosh. I cannot believe how well this thing has worked. I did it for literally one
minute and already so much dirt and dust and hair has come up off of my carpets. It's definitely
fluffed them up as well. The only downside is, I now have to do this to my entire house,
because I cannot believe there is so much dirt in my carpets, when I vacuum all the
time. This next TikTok cleaning hack was so random,
I really wanted to share it with you guys and give it a go myself. It's cleaning your
iron it by using a paracetamol tablet. It's typical though, as we've gone to film, this
iron is actually really clean. It is quite new, so that's probably why, but there is
a little bit of dirt here that I'm going to test it out on, but I will also insert the
TikTok so that you can see, because the one that they cleaned, it actually came out so
well. I have no idea why this works or if it works, but I'm going to test it out.
They said to use tweezers so you don't burn yourself. So the iron is on, and I'm going
to just rub this paracetamol tablet onto it. That worked so well. I know I only had a tiny
bit to show you, but it came off so, so easily. This TikTok hack is a way to get your white
laundry really nice and bright. The lady who showed this said she puts one cup of distilled
vinegar into the drawer on her washing machine, and then she also adds a big scoop of baking
soda, and then that gets her clothes really bright white. So I'm excited to test this
out, because I normally use a bleach-based product, so I normally use this on my white
clothes. So I'm going to do a load of white laundry now. And then as if by magic, we will
see how white it gets. I really need to wash this. This is my bathrobe
that I was wearing this morning, and Jackson jumped on me and I spilt my coffee everywhere.
So although this doesn't say it gets stains out, we'll see how this comes afterwards.
Moment of truth. Let's see how white my whites are. See if the coffee ... It's kind of come
out a little bit. I wouldn't say that instantly it's much brighter than normal washing detergent,
but I've got to hang it on the line and see if that helps. And of course, the natural
sunlight bleaches your clothes as well. So I'm going to put them all out on the line.
Now that I've got the laundry into the light, it does actually look really bright. It didn't
completely get the coffee stain out, but she never claimed it was a stain remover. So as
a brightener, it did actually work. This next hack is a really clever way to clean
your AirPods. It is so simple. All you're going to need for this is some Blu Tack and
then also some toothpicks. You basically go around the edge of your AirPods with the toothpicks
to loosen up any dirt, and then just push the Blu Tack into the AirPod, and you'll see
the dirt come out. Just do this several times until you're happy with the result. And that
is it. This worked so well, and it was so easy to do.
This next cleaning hack that I wanted to test out is a way to freshen up your mattresses.
And it's so simple. It's basically just sprinkling on some baking soda all over your mattress,
leaving it for a while, and then vacuuming it up. It just helps to eliminate odors and
clear out some of the dirt, dries it up. This is something that I do if the kids are ever
sick, or if they ever wet the bed, it really does help with odors, but I don't tend to
just do it randomly. But the lady on TikTok said it can even help with stains. So we're
going to give it a go. This next tack is another one using just white
vinegar. This is an alternative way to clean your dishwasher. And this really would save
me a lot of money if it works, because I'd normally buy the proper dishwasher cleaners.
I keep a few of these in my garage at all times, and I'll just use them as and when
I need them. But the lady who showed this, she just put a cup of the white vinegar straight
into her dishwasher and then turned it on a hot cycle. So I'm going to give it a go
today and see how clean it gets. She literally just stuck it on her bottom shelf like this,
just like that, and then put it in and turned it on.
Right, so the moment of truth. So it is definitely cleaner, and it doesn't actually smell like
vinegar, which I was expecting it to, but it is not shining. There's still quite a lot
of dirt in the creases. So I don't actually think it was as good as the cleaner I normally
use, unfortunately. This next tack that I wanted to test out is
a way to get your baking sheets nice and clean. And I'm excited to test this out, because
I've only found that using really highly toxic cleaners in the past get mine clean enough.
The lady who showed this, she just put Bar Keepers Friend. This is a cleaning product
that I do love. I think it's quite similar to Sif. It's a little bit abrasive. So she
put Bar Keepers Friend on it and then also some boiling water and then left that to sit
before scrubbing it clean. So I'm going to do that and see if it works.
My pans have been soaking for about 30 minutes to 45 minutes, so I'm now going to give them
a really good scrub and see how they've turned out. I am hoping that this worked.
I'm a tiny bit disappointed. They are definitely a bit cleaner, but they're not completely
looking brand new, which is what I was kind of hoping for. So please let me know in the
comments, what is the best way that you clean your baking sheets? Because these are still
a little bit bad. This next cleaning hack is a natural way to
clean your bath, and it also is supposed to smell amazing. The person that showed it on
TikTok cut a grapefruit in half and then covered the fleshy side with sugar, so that obviously
creates a bit of an abrasive cleaner, and then they rubbed it all over their bath, and
apparently smells delicious, and it also cleans off any grease and stuff. So we're going to
test it out today. It does feel a little bit of a waste of grapefruit. These are Matt's.
He's not going to appreciate this. But I can see how it will probably smell really, really
good. So, I'm going to cut that and then dip it into the sugar and clean it with that.
The bath is definitely clean. It did get those greasy stains off, and it does smell really,
really good. But I still think it's a little bit wasteful of a grapefruit, because they're
not that cheap, but it did work. This next TikTok cleaning hack is a way to
clean out any stains that you have in your Tupperware. Often this happens if you microwave
tomato soup or sauce or something like that. You can see this one is really quite stained,
and she made it look so easy, and we're going to give it a go today. All she did was put
some dish soap into the Tupperware, and then she also put a little bit of water. She didn't
really say if it was warm or cold, so I'm just putting in some warm. And then she ripped
up some paper towel and put that in. So I'm going to try this. Okay. And then she put
the lid on and really shook it for about 45 seconds to a minute, and the stains literally
disappeared. So, let's see. So that was a complete fail for me, but I'm
thinking that maybe it was too well-stained to work. This might actually work on yours
if you have stained Tupperware. Give it a try, because it wasn't high effort or anything.
It was quite easy to do. And let me know if it works.
Right, so this is it for this video. I really hope you enjoyed these hacks. There are a
few in here that I know I'm going to use in the future, like the squeegee one and also
removing the toilet seat. I just thought they were brilliant. So, I hope you guys liked
this and I'll see you in my next one. Bye, guys.
