A cleaning fan has shared a two-ingredient hack that will help keep your home free from dust for longer – and people can’t wait to give it a go in their own homes
Just when you think your home is the epitome of cleanliness, a rogue dust particle can shatter the illusion.
It lurks everywhere – on your perfume bottles, hidden on wardrobes, or clinging to your lamps – dust seems an ever-present foe in the battle for a spotless home.
But one TikToker has come to the rescue with a nifty trick that promises to keep your surfaces dust-free for longer. The user, posting as @vicolsfamilyhouse, revealed her simple yet effective method using just two common household items.
The savvy cleaner mixes water and fabric softener to create a solution that she claims will ‘repel’ dust from normally problematic areas. She dips a cloth into this homemade mixture and proceeds to wipe down her home’s surfaces.
Overlaid text in her video assures viewers: “It will smell amazing.” The dust-defying tip was met with enthusiasm in the comments section, with many praising its effectiveness and the pleasant scent it leaves behind. One person commented: “I’ve heard that it helps and leaves a wonderful fragrance.”
Another offered an explanation for the hack’s success, noting: “Fabric softener’s job is to essentially put a layer of wax on clothes and works the same way on surfaces.”
One TikToker queried: “Does it work on vents too? My vents and ceiling fans get dusty so fast.” @vicolsfamilyhouse confirmed that it indeed worked on those as well, detailing that for the best effect you need mainly water with just a hint of fabric softener.
“Whatttttttttt omg such a smart, smart idea! “, exclaimed an admirer. “I love this, I do it weekly”, shared another TikTok user. Have you given this hack a go?
