5 Viral Cleaning Hacks
Posted: 07 October 2025
We're here to make laundry day a little less boring
Cleaning can feel like a chore, but we're here to change that.
We’ve rounded up five viral cleaning hacks that actually work, and yes, they’re perfect for your linen sheets, bedding, and clothes.
The Perfect Load for a Great Wash
Overstuffing or underloading your machine is a common mistake.
- Too heavy: Clothes and sheets don’t get cleaned properly.
- Too light: Wastes water, energy, and detergent.
Aim for a balanced load, sheets should move freely in the drum but not be swimming around.
Wash Your Sheets Weekly
We shed millions of skin cells straight into our sheets each week. So much so that our pillowcases can actually carry more bacteria than a toilet seat.
Our hack (as simple as it seems) is to wash your sheets weekly, or at least every 10 days, to keep them fresh, soft, and hygienic.
Dry Your Sheets Outside
When the sun’s UV rays hit damp fabric it triggers a reaction that creates natural compounds (like aldehydes and ketones).
These compounds smell fresh, fruity, and floral, all while helping to release trapped odours, giving that crisp, outdoorsy scent.
Put On a Cleaning Playlist
Yes, it really works. Music makes repetitive tasks like folding, sorting, and washing a lot more enjoyable.
Hack: Create a playlist of your favourite songs or podcasts, and before you know it, you’ll be looking forward to laundry day.
Use Velcro to Get Rid of Dog Hair
Pet hair can be stubborn, but there’s a clever trick.
- Stick a Velcro hair roller (or the hook side of a small Velcro strip) into your washing machine with your load.
- It grabs loose hair during the wash, leaving your sheets and clothes cleaner than ever.
Laundry doesn’t have to be boring, with a few clever hacks, it can actually feel a little bit satisfying (dare we say, even fun).
