TikTok home hacks to try in your own abode: 

1. Dust Cleaning Hack

Let's face it: no one wants to whip out the Swiffer on a regular basis, especially in hard-to-reach places like the top of your cupboard. Keep dust at bay by lining your cabinetry with newspapers and replacing them every time the dust piles up. 

Before the Sunday Times hits your recycling bin, give the pages another purpose. It's one of those "Why didn't I think of that sooner?" moves.

2. Empty Glass Jar Hack

You're never going to buy a vase again. Use old jars to store your beautiful bouquets—a stellar way to repurpose those glasses you'd otherwise throw out. If you're really looking to take things up a notch, you can even paint and decorate them!

(If you need some inspo, we think these make the best plants for an office desk.)

3. Bin Odor Hack

While you're discarding remnants of uneaten meals (like the viral pesto eggs dish responsible for many summer brunches), you're likely bound to cause a stink within your garbage pail. User @mama_mila_, who's clearly mastered the art of TikTok home hacks, recommends placing a cotton ball soaked with essential oil on the bottom of the bin. Do so before lining your bag in the pail, so that things stay forever fresh.

4. Carpet Stain Hack

Once the wine hangover subsides, it's time to get rid of the dinner party evidence lurking in the carpet. When you can't get your hands on Oxiclean for that wine stain, try sprinkling a layer of bi-carb soda on the area in question.

5. Bed Sheet Hack

No, unfortunately, this is not a way in which to magically put on those fussy fitted bed sheets. (We know, we're disappointed, too.) However, spraying your base sheet with tap water before tucking it into the bed will give you a polished look that won't require an ironing session. We're sold!
