Cleaning is a fairly unavoidable part of life, but fortunately, spending excessive money on cleaning products is not.
A TikTok video is gaining attention for a secret multi-purpose cleaning item, and you probably already have it in your house.
The scoop
This hack was shared by Candace (@candacecleansitall), a professional cleaner who has dedicated her TikTok account to helping the public be better, more efficient, and more sanitary when cleaning.
In the video, Candace shows how rubbing alcohol can address dirty surfaces in your home.
@candacecleansitall if you're using it for glass it really doesn't matter what type of alcohol you're using but for the sanitizing you have to use 70 or mix the 90 with water #clean #cleaning #cleaningmotivation #cleaninglady #cleaningbusiness #cleaningtiktok #CleanTok #homecleaner #cleaningtips ♬ original sound - candacecleansitall
"Not only do I use this for my glass, but I use it for my granite," Candace says.
She proceeds to pour the 90% rubbing alcohol, which is ideal for sanitizing, into a spray bottle. "The mixture you want to use is about two cups rubbing alcohol, one part water," she adds.

It's completely silent and intelligently controlled, with setup taking just 5 minutes.

How it's helping
Cleaning hacks like this one are a great way to save money and reduce the use of unnecessary chemicals.
While many store-bought cleaners come with a list of unpronounceable ingredients, simpler options like baking soda or vinegar can help you feel confident about what's cleaning your home.
Some other cleaning hacks include a homemade solution for deep cleaning your shower head and a three-step process for removing stains, which involves using cold water, a few household materials, and sunlight.
