5 Genius TikTok Mom Hacks You Should Know About

While many say TikTok is filled with useless and dangerous challenges that put kids at risk, the platform also presents a special niche of videos involving TikTok mom hacks. 

These hacks come from the most relatable and regular mothers on TikTok, who have lived through the experiences and failures of raising children and keeping a clean home. Many of them are now using the video-sharing platform to help other parents avoid their mistakes or simply guide other moms on becoming better at what they do. 

Below are five genius TikTok mom hacks parents should know about:

1. Genius cleaning hack for the bath area.

Mom Vanesa Maro suggested buying a special brush at Target for dish cleaning. Fill this brush with dish soap and vinegar to leave in the shower. The next time a parent takes a shower, they can simply give this bathroom area a quick scrub down to prevent molds and mildew. Don't forget to refill the brush with soap and vinegar.

Kentucky mom Catherine Benson's suggestions about stocking food and snacks in the fridge have raked in more than 30 million views on her popular TikTok account. Her followers say she is the ultimate "mom goal" because of her expert organization skills. 

Benson also has videos of how she organizes and restocks other parts of her household, including her bathroom and laundry room. People lose a ton of time watching her videos because they somehow find it soothing.

As popular as her TikTok channel is, Benson's followers also criticize her for the number of sugary snacks in plastic containers she gives her four children. However, none of her critics is likely half as organized and committed as this mother.

4. The genius hack for moms who multitask. 

Influencer mom Shannon has discovered a genius hack that allows her to watch TikTok videos without touching her mobile phone. This way, she can keep washing dishes, doing laundry, or multitask other activities and chores that a busy mom needs to finish. 

Shannon has figured out how to customize her iPhone to follow voice commands and use it exclusively for the TikTok app. She explains the step-by-step process in her very own TikTok mom hack video, which many parents have said is a life-changing tip.

5. The genius hack for muddy shoes after school practice.

Soccer mom Emily Norris cheers on her kids who love to play sports but do not like their muddy trainers inside her car. So, she shares a hack using a kitchen caddy that costs less than $3. She said this caddy has been a lifesaver because her kids avoid bringing in their muddy shoes on the car's carpet, saving the family tons of money in the car wash. 

Norris simply lays down the kitchen caddy in the backseat, and her boys put their dirty trainers on it. Many sports moms have thanked her for her idea, including a 59-year-old mom who should have done this decades ago with her children.

"To think of the rugby boots I dealt with years ago using plastic bags," the commenter said, per New York Post. "You win best hack for me!"
