I’ve seen some interesting videos on TikTok, but have also found many incredible cooking and cleaning hacks. The most recent TikTok cleaning hack to go viral involves putting a ball of tinfoil in your dishwasher. And although I was skeptical at first, this hack appears to be legitimate.
All this hack entails is crumpling up a piece of tinfoil into a ball and putting the ball into the flatware basket of your dishwasher along with your dirty cutlery. Run the dishwasher on a normal cycle, and when you remove your clean dishes, your flatware will be gleaming as though it was brand new.
