After watching laundry hacks on TikTok, some of the best laundry hacks, tips, and tricks we found include:
- Don’t recycle your bottles from finished laundry detergents without using this TikTok hack:
@chixy38 Do NOT throw your bottles away before you do this!!! #momlife #laundrytok #laundryhacks #moneysavinghacks
“You know when you have laundry detergent…nothing comes out, but you can feel there’s something in there?” In this video, TikTok user @chixy38 shows that by simply detaching the small plastic “spill-proof” spout from inside the mouth of the bottle (gently pulling it out using pliers), you can access several loads of laundry-worth of detergent that was left inside the bottle. Reduce your waste with this TikTok cleaning tip that saves money (and detergent)!
- Make your own DIY ‘dryer sponges’ to use in place of a dryer sheet for clothes that smell fresh

This viral TikTok created by user @homewithesther features an easy DIY project that you can use to forego expensive dryer sheets in a few simple steps. First off, you will want to choose a storage container. In the video, they use a mid-sized glass jar with a cute handmade ‘dryer sponges’ label, and clean it with rubbing alcohol before use. The next step is to choose your favorite fabric softener and pour it into the jar, filling it about a quarter of the way full, topping it off with water. You will then take the type of sponges that can be found in any dollar store cleaning products aisle, and cut them in half, and submerge them into the liquid.
These sponges are used by squeezing the excess liquid out of them and putting them into the dryer with each load of laundry. As it says in the original sound of the video, “(y)our clothes will be soft, and smell amazing.” Not only does this tip save you money, but these fabric softener-soaked dryer sponges make your clothes smell fresh, are better for your clothes and as they are reusable, they are much more environmentally friendly than traditional dryer sheets.

In these viral TikTok cleaning videos, the theme is to remove the stains that can ruin clothing and brighten up light-colored or white clothing using mixtures of cleaning products you probably already have around the house, with incredible results.
In the first video, user @caroline.mccauley’s cleaning TikTok instructs us to first ensure the washing machine is spotless, wiping it down with a cloth, then to add ½ cup of baking soda directly into the machine before throwing the whites into the laundry cycle. Add high-quality detergent and vinegar to the rinse cycle, washing at the hottest temperature. Hang-dry the laundry in the sun for professional cleaner results.
To remove two-year-old stains from baby onesies in the second video, user @flourishing mother mixes 1 part dish soap with 1 part baking soda and 1 part peroxide, applies this environmentally friendly stain remover paste to the stains, and rinses before adding them to the washing machine, completely removing the stains as well as a professional cleaner’s stain remover.
It turns out that not only does watching cleaning TikTok videos provide hours of entertainment, but it also saves money, time, and laundry detergent and provides organizational hacks for those who watch these viral TikTok cleaning hacks. These laundry day tips will make their laundry smell fresh and come out cleaner, using household cleaning products that will not ruin clothing.
