Our Favorite Cleaning TikTok Trends
1.) Scrub Daddy
The Scrub Daddy (and family) is one of the most popular cleaning products of 2021. You’ll find creative ways to utilize the Scrub Daddy on almost all of the Cleaning TikTok pages. This magical cleaning tool is extremely durable, and according to the manufacturer, can be used for 2-3 months, and can be washed in the dishwasher. The texture of the sponge itself will morph from hard (with cold water) to soft (with hot water). The smile Part of the sponge is great for cleaning cutlery. They offer several products in the Sponge Daddy product line, including an accessory that allows you to hang the sponge on your wall.
2.) Bissell Spot Cleaner
The Bissel Spot clean is small but powerful. Not only is it perfect for your car seats, and mats, but it also works great on furniture. You won’t believe how much dirt it picks up from the surface. You’ll find the end results gross but satisfying. This product was built for tackling stubborn stain.s This is a miniature version, so don’t expect to clean large areas. Bissell sells their own specific cleaning solution, but many users are turning to alternative methods like laundry detergents and baking soda.
3.) Cleaning Blinds with Dryer Sheets
This is one we can’t live without. Blinds are difficult and time consuming to clean. Dryer sheets not only remove the build-up but can actually reduce static cling and help repel dust. The texture of the dryer sheet is rough enough to remove buildup, but also soft enough to avoid any scratches. The dryer sheets also leave a fresh scent to linger. This fast and easy method leaves no room for error, just wipe clean and toss.
4.) Folding Toilet Paper and Towels
Adding small spa like elements to any bathroom allows for an easy and affordable way to transform your space. Say goodbye to the traditional rectangular folds, and try rolling your towels, or folding them in the shape of a swan, or flower. It’s time to elevate from the ordinary toilet paper roll hang, and neatly shape the edges. You can even add a little flare to kids’ bedrooms by giving it the paper airplane fold. We love the “faucet stamp” trend, where you can use your faucet spout to stamp your folded toilet paper or tissues closed.
5.) Steam Cleaning Tile Grout
Discolored and dirty tile grout is a common grievance we hear from new clients. Many people don’t know the true color of their tile grout, until it’s properly cleaned. Steam cleaning is the preferred method, as it gives outstanding results in a short time-period. You’ll see a few tiktoks where people spent several hours using the toothbrush cleaning method, which is less effective and more time consuming. Make sure that the grout is completely sealed prior to sealing to avoid moisture buildup under the grout.
Worst TikTok Cleaning Trends
1.) Product Overload
The “product overload trend” involves using multiple products, usually which are cleaning solutions that have bright contrasting colors, to create a satisfying visual effect while cleaning. This trend is actually quite dangerous. Toilet bowl cleaners were not made to mix with several other products. This can severely damage your pipes and is horrible for the ocean and the environment.
Mopping with Boiling Water
We always against mopping with boiling hot water. This is unnecessary and potentially extremely harmful to your floors. This could potentially completely ruin your wood, laminate, or vinyl floor finish after one use. This method can be used on concrete floors, without the risk of causing any damage to the surface, but still has the potential to burn your skin while in use.
