I’m the queen of hacks – how I get my dishcloths fresh and clean for just 10p

A SELF-DESCRIBED Queen of hacks has revealed how she gets her dishcloths and sponges clean and fresh again – for just 10p.

Tanya has earned herself thousands of fans on her TikTok page thanks to her regular sharing of tips and tricks, and her latest hack saw her update an old one.



Tanya advises putting dirty cloths in a pan and adding a dishwasher tablet

Once the water was added, she brought the mixture to a boil for 15 minutes

While boiling cloths has long been considered a good way to get them clean, Tanya popped a dishwasher tablet into a large saucepan, before adding her dirty cloths and a good lot of boiling water.

She then brought that mixture to a boil and boiled for 15 minutes, before discarding the dirty water and rinsing with clean.

Once she’d finished, the cloths and sponges were all good as new again – and smelled fresh too.

While some people insisted they can get similar results in their washing machine on a hot wash, Tanya pointed out that such cycles usually run for around two hours.

And, with spiralling energy prices, a 15-minute hack is better than a two-hour one.

“Imma try this! Thanks!” one person commented on the video.

While another added: “Never tried it this way. I’ll give it a try.”

And someone else wrote: “My mums done this for years.”

“Mum knows best,” Tanya replied.
