The Best Cleaning Products on TikTok (and the Ones You Should Skip)
TikTok is useful in many ways, but I find it especially valuable to learn how other people clean and what they use to do it. CleanTok itself is a sensation , and for the most part there are great tips and tricks to be found there, however some recommendations are better than others. Here are some great products TikTok loves, and some you might miss.
Great TikTok Cleaning Products
Keep in mind that influencers on all platforms may receive commissions or other kickbacks for certain recommendations, which they are required to disclose, but not always. The products featured below will be carried by both Target and Amazon, but can be found in a variety of places and can even be purchased directly from the creators’ videos on the TikTok Shop.
We’ll start with a versatile product that ‘s everyone’s favorite on TikTok : O-Cedar mops.
This product is popular because you can pump the spinner with your feet rather than your hands. It separates clean and dirty water, and the mop head is shaped like a triangle, making it easy to clean in hard-to-reach spots and corners.
Next up is another all-rounder: the electric rotating brush. CleanTokk users use them all the time , comparing brands and recommending them for everything from cleaning the shower to cleaning the floors. All brands seem comparable in price and reviews, so feel free to choose one that’s on sale, like this bad boy:
Beyond that, you have plenty of TikTok-approved cleaning product options:
-
Car owners love cleaning gels , like Colorcoral All-Purpose Dust Cleaner ($9.97 for two jars), which easily penetrates small spaces and immediately draws out dust.
-
The Bissell Little Green Cleaner ($98.59) has been an app favorite for years because, despite its small size, it pulls large stains from upholstery, carpets, and more.
-
The Scrub Daddy ($7.25) may seem like a simple sponge, but with slots for cleaning accessories, varying levels of coarseness, and a friendly face, it has gained a large cult following.
-
Soap dispensing brushes, such as these from Scotch-Brite ($6.33), are also popular . They make cleaning dishes easier, but they can also be used to clean your shower or anything else around the house with minimal effort. (The most popular version on the app is the OXO version, but it’s $4 more expensive than Scotch-Brite, and since they do the same thing, go for the cheaper version.)
-
TikTokers are also big fans of pet hair removers like the Lintplus Rakes (two for $9.99) because they work and are fun to use.
-
I highly recommend these, but only because they’re so cool: Drill Brush Attachments, like this eight-piece set from Holikme ($9.99), that turn your power tools into electric scrubbers for intense cleaning.
-
The Chomp Wall Cleaner ($39.97) has been a long-time favorite on CleanTok, and videos of the telescoping squeegee scraping grime off walls are a joy to watch.
-
Speaking of satisfaction, the Mini Desktop Vacuum Cleaner from ODISTAR ($9.98) continues to be a crowd favorite on TikTok because it takes up virtually no space.
TikTok Cleaners You Can Skip
There are a few hacks that recommend using certain products, but not only are they unnecessarily expensive in the name of a “trend,” they can also be dangerous . For example, the “overloading” trend requires you to mix different products in the toilet to produce nice color effects, but fails to note that you could be creating harmful gases that could harm you or simply damage your pipes.
You also don’t need to buy a Fabuloso to attach it to the back of your toilet tank. Colored swirls of water look nice on video , but in general they can damage the toilet.
Finally, don’t boil your air freshener wicks to keep your house smelling clean, no matter what TikTok says . It’s unclear if this is dangerous, but it’s a waste. Just plug them in.
