Cleaning Without Chemicals
Every home has a distinctive smell – although some homes smell worse than others. Imagine coming home after a long day at work and smelling your home’s signature scent the moment you open the front door. It’s calming, isn’t it? But what if you haven’t had time to clean, and you start smelling strange aromas all over? Well, we have the ideal solution for you, so don’t worry.
@sheiskd_ Guaranteed to CLEANSE YOUR AIR #hack #cleaninghack #cleantok #clean #fyp
Fill a pot with water. Add lemon slices, mint leaves, and cinnamon powder, or sticks, when it has reached a simmer. Allow this perfume to permeate the entire house, and let it stew until it fills every nook and cranny. Who says that only chemicals can accomplish this?
Pan Cleaning

This chore is annoying. After only a few uses of your pricey pots and pans, you discover this tenacious discoloration directly beneath them. Of course, staying up late to scrub isn’t the best plan of action. Fortunately, there is a trick that can be useful. Hydrogen peroxide and baking soda are all you need. Pick up the soiled pots or pans, spray them with hydrogen peroxide, and then sprinkle enough baking soda on top. Let it sit for ten minutes. When you are ready to scrub your pan, take a sponge and some hydrogen peroxide and scrub well. You’ll have spotless, like-new pots and pans in no time.
Freshen Your Carpet
@ohitsjustpeachy Carpet refresh! #cleaningtiktok #cleantok #cleaninghacks #cleaningtipsandhacks #fypシ #fypviral
A musty, smelly rug will be the last thing you want to smell when you step into your home! But you don’t have to go to the laundry! Your rugs will smell like new if you just use this TikTok trick. Put some baking soda and a few drops of your preferred essential oil in a container. Shake the container vigorously after sealing the lid. Next, take a handful of the mixture and scatter it over your carpet or rugs. Vacuum after about 10 minutes of letting it sit.
Fan Dusting
@thelovefordecor Ceiling Fan dusting hack! How to dust it without making a mess! Use a pillowcase to catch the dust! #Homedecorhacks #homedecor #fyp #foryoupage
This is a really helpful hack, especially for those with sinus problems. Fan cleaning can be challenging. Not to mention that using a chair or ladder requires a climb in order to complete the task. However, TikTok released this incredible trick that might make life simpler. Instead of using a duster, take a pillowcase to prevent any lingering dust from your ceiling fan from landing on your freshly-cleaned sheets or vacuumed carpet. To sweep up and collect dust, wind the pillowcase tightly around the entire fan blade and slowly bring it towards you.
Homemade Disinfectant Wipes
@carolina.mccauley 🌷 DIY Disinfecting Wipes 🍃 #cleaningtips #cleaninghacks #tipsandtricks #homecleaninghacks #homehackswithcarolina
Why spend money on disposable cleaning wipes when you can create your own reusable ones? This tip will undoubtedly save your life. A few materials and some washcloths are all you need. Start by combining two cups of water, one cup of vinegar, half a cup of rubbing alcohol, and a few drops of essential oil in a jar to create your own homemade cleaning wipes. After that, grab your washcloths, place them in the jar, and shake vigorously until each one is well saturated. Your disinfectant wipes are now ready to use!
Mop Floors Like A Boss
@tanyahomeinspo This hack right here is a game changer #tanyahomeinspo #cleaninghacks #homehacks #cleantokuk #cleantok #mopping #cleaningtips #cleaningtiktok
You know how we use the same water every time we mop? Well, this trick makes so much sense, and it’ll definitely make mopping worthwhile. Grab your usual mopping pail and place another pail inside. It sounds weird, but just trust the process. Now, in the second pail, pour in your floor cleaner and water, just like you normally would. Dip your mop in the pail filled with soap and rinse in the original mopping pail. Confusing? This TikTok video should explain it better. This hack is pretty genius, because you don’t reuse the dirty water, but instead, you use clean water to mop.
Cleaning The Microwave

Use this technique the next time you see splatters and crumbs in your microwave. Water should be poured into a basin or pitcher. You should be able to use a microfiber towel to wipe the surfaces completely clean after microwaving the basin for three to five minutes.
Make DIY Room Deodorant Spray
@lareina_93 #home #cleantok #PringlesCanHands #cleaning #diyfabricspray #TalkingTree #fyp #fup #fypシ #viral #trending
Fill a spray bottle with 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup rubbing alcohol, and fabric softener to get rid of strong odours on the couch. Depending on how strong of a scent you prefer, you can use as much or as little as you wish. Just a few spritzes on furniture will ensure that all offensive odours are eliminated.
