What can't TikTok teach us?
Unlike Instagram, where you can believe about...say, 10% of the things you see on there, TikTok has a surprisingly good helpful-to-fake ratio! From cleaning tips, to organizing, to genuine life hacks, these tips are helpful and fun to watch.
To clean the speaker area, use air in a can to get gunk out of the mesh. Then, roll the other parts in a product called "blue tack." Boom, your AirPods aren't gross anymore!
The tack will then stick into the wall and make a small hole, which you can use as a guide for where to put your nail. Or anchor — anchor your stuff, people!
Instead of all of it sitting at the top, stick a straw in your popcorn and dispense the butter down it. Will you have a heart attack after eating it? Maybe.
There's nothing I love more than TikToks featuring the weird stuff people have found on Amazon. This one involves a toothpaste dispenser and holder, which looks super handy!
Fill your stained tupperware with some dish soap and water. Put a piece of paper towel inside, then put the lid back on. Shake your butt off until the stain is done! Seriously, you're going to be shaking a while.
If you live in a dorm or another kind of student housing, you may have noticed your absolutely garbage water pressure. This helpful TikTok user pointed out it may have a flow restrictor in it. I'm not encouraging you to pop it out, but...
This hack comes courtesy of a handyman! Using painter's tape, create a "v" shape at the edge of your can. Pour as needed, then peel the tape off! No paint stuck in the rim.
I've never seen this before, and now I want one. This handy little shelf attaches to your TV and will support your cable box or gaming console!
Now, I don't know if the manufacturers intended for this, because I know nothing about camping chairs. But this seems like a total lifehack to me.
Anyone who enjoys a good tub knows the pain of having the drain steal all your hot water. If flipping it upside down isn't an option, grab a drain cover from Amazon!
This may not work for everyone, and definitely not every pot. But if your colander is around the same size as your pot, you can pop it inside and drain it the reverse way. NEAT.
No need to keep buying it! Instead, pick up some Castile soap and use one of your old foaming soap pumps. Fill 3/4 with water and 1/4 with soap, then shake! I've done this for ages, and it totally works.
Nowhere to balance your food? No plates nearby? Use your cup as a plate and pop the straw through the divider of your nuggets. No word on if this works for Big Macs.
Yup, you read that right. They sell cleaning slime (or cleaning gel, but I think slime is more fun) that you can roll around those hard-to-reach places in your car. Nice.
