Mom reveals ‘genius’ TikTok cleaning hacks that she swears will change your life – from the kitchen to the bathroom
A NEW mom revealed genius TikTok cleaning hacks that she swears will change your life.
The mom said she found the hacks while scrolling the app in the late hours of the night, while she’s up with her newborn daughter.
Kallie Branciforte, who runs the YouTube channel But First, Coffee, revealed the tips in a video
For her first TikTok hack, she revealed how to get red stains out of Tupperware – like if you stored spaghetti or something inside the container.
“You put a sheet of a paper towel into the Tupperware or the plastic, a little bit of dish soap, a little water,” she instructed.
“You close it, you shake it, and then you empty it all out in the sink and give it a rinse.”
She then revealed the red stain was completely gone from the container – and said she herself “couldn’t believe it.”.
For the next tip, she revealed how to clean a cast iron pan.
First, she said to heat the pan – and bake off all the food bits.
After putting salt in the pan, she showed how to use a steel pan scrubber with a paper towel “to protect your hand” and scrub the skillet.
She revealed the pan was completely clean, and said it could then be treated with oil as normal.
Then, she revealed a “brilliant” tip for cleaning glass showers – using Rain-X to get grime off the glass.
She revealed how the water glides right off her shower walls.
Next, she showed how to clean stove grates with Dawn Power Wash and spray them in your sink.
“You’ll actually find that the Dawn Power Wash actually breaks up a lot of the dirt and grime,” she revealed.
Using a Scrub Daddy, she revealed a load of the grease and grime came off.
She said there was still a bit of grease baked on – but said it’s “cleaner than I’ve ever gotten them in the past.”
Kallie then revealed how she used Dawn Power Wash on an old pan – which had grime baked on.
The “after result” revealed she got a load of the baked-on black bits off the pan.
Next, she revealed a simple hack she never knew.
“Scrub Daddy and Scrub Mommies have these little faces which I thought were just to be cute but it actually serves a purpose,” she said.
“The hair is designed to scrub the inside of tight spots like cups and muffin tins, and the eyes and mouth are designed to easily scrub utensils,” she revealed, as she showed how knifes and spoons can be slid inside the mouth shape to be easily cleaned.
She said it’s a “total game changer.”
In a next hack, she revealed how you can use a floor duster to easily wipe down your walls, ceilings, and trim around your home.
For the next simple trick, Kallie showed how when your dishes are done in the dishwasher, you can drape a towel halfway between the door.
“Your dishtowel is going to absorb the water from the steam,” she said.
This makes sure the towel absorbs extra moisture – and that your dishes aren’t left with water after the cycle is complete.
Next, Kallie revealed a simple trick to keep snack boxes fresh.
She revealed how to fold in the side flaps of the box, and tuck in the side panels.
The mom then revealed that the long edge can be tucked in, keeping the contents of the box fresh.
In another tip, she showed how you can wrap a tooth pick in a rag to clean hard-to-reach nooks and crannies in your home.
“It’s seriously the perfect cleaning tool for creases and corners,” she said.
