TikTok Trends and Unusual Uses for Cleaning Products

Cleaning products are designed and tested to be safe when used as intended. That means they should be used according to the directions on the label! Just because you see something on TikTok does not mean it is safe to follow suit. We’re doing a rundown of some of TikTok’s cleaning trends, from the great ideas to the downright dangerous.

Cleaning the Washing Machine – Your cleaning appliances need to be cleaned. If you aren’t already doing this, start now. This TikTok trend can serve as a public service announcement for keeping your appliances working efficiently and effectively.

Laundry Stripping – This usually involves borax, washing soda and powdered laundry detergent added to hot water in a bathtub. As long as you are careful and follow the directions, this can be an option for cleaning. But, as we told the folks at Today.com, if you’re cleaning regularly and using the right amount of detergent, you shouldn’t need to.

Decorative Detergent Storage – We’ve seen those redecorated laundry rooms with glass containers filled with detergent and thought … that’s dangerous! The original containers have important information like warning labels and first aid instructions. In addition, things like liquid laundry packets are in special packaging that can help keep them out of the hands of children. Remember, #StoreNotDecor.

Product Overload – Never do this! The popular trend has users mixing all kinds of cleaning products together and showing the results. This is not necessary to get things clean and mixing some cleaning products can have disastrous results.
