A cleaning hack using baby shampoo has been praised as "genius" for removing stubborn fingerprints from various surfaces around the home. The simple solution involves mixing a small amount of the product with water and wiping with a microfibre cloth.
How the hack works
Content creator Mari Parsons shared the technique on TikTok, demonstrating how it effectively cleans her oven door, cooker hob, and kitchen door. She mixed a modest amount of Johnson's Baby Shampoo with water, calling it a "life changing hack" after seeing the results.
"I can't believe it actually worked so well! Have you tried using baby shampoo before?" she asked in the video.
Expert backing
The method is supported by cleaning specialists at The Spruce, who explain the science behind it. "In the same way that it lifts built-up dirt and grease from hair, shampoo can be used to clean grimy surfaces and treat grease stains," they advise online.
They recommend using baby shampoo for cleaning as it is typically free from dyes, fragrances, and harsh chemicals. However, they note it is not intended for heavy-duty cleaning but works well for quick, everyday tasks.
Viewer reactions
TikTok users responded enthusiastically to the hack. One commented: "Just put it in my Amazon basket. Can't wait to try it." Another said: "I've tried it... it really does work." Others expressed similar intentions to test the method.
