It’s not just the little ones who can smudge your pristine home with grubby fingerprints. Thanks to an incredible hack using some common household items, those marks will soon be a thing of the past.
Keeping your house spotless can seem like a daunting task, with oily fingermarks mysteriously appearing no matter what. Despite your best efforts scrubbing away for hours, it only takes one pair of unwashed hands post-snack to leave murky impressions all over the place. Parents will resonate with this struggle especially if they have lively toddlers.
But fear not, as there’s a DIY solution that you can whip up using everyday ingredients likely lurking in your cleaning closet. TikTok sensation @foreverhomejune19 let her followers in on the secret, posting: “Genius… fingerprint hack. I saw this hack on Insta and had to try it.”
She guides viewers through the concoction process, suggesting to mix “equal parts white vinegar and rinse aid” with a “dash of washing up liquid and warm water”, dubbing it a “magic potion” before exclaiming: “Just wait and see the results.”
Upon combining everything into a spray bottle, she shows off how potent the mixture is on a door handle. A quick spritz of the homemade ‘magic potion’, followed by a wipe, and even intentional attempts to leave fingerprints fail to make a mark.
The lady has shared another ‘genius’ trick, using it not just on glass doors and mirrors with shining results. Admirers in the comments couldn’t hide their excitement – one hailed it as a “cool idea”, another enthused: “Amazing.”
And it turns out white vinegar is handy in other places of the home too. The savvy cleaner also deploys it as a bug deterrent in her home. In a seperate clip, she reveals her tactic of spraying white vinegar around the window frames and doors to keep creepy crawlies at bay. “It really does work,” she insisted, noting: “I used to get ear bugs and even slugs coming in.”
