TikTok Hacks
TikTok is home to a cornucopia of life hacks for everything from fashion to cleaning to cooking. Any regular person can get sucked into the “No way that works…” train of thought, and we’re easily victim to it.
While some TikTok hacks can cause grease fires, and should be avoided at all costs, some of them are quite helpful. So here are some of our favorite TikTok hacks that actually work:
Streak-free mirrors
@cleaninghackss3 No mirror cleaner? Use this quick method for streak free mirrors #mirrorclean #mirrorcleaninghack #happycleaning ♬ Little Bitty Pretty One – Thurston Harris
Don’t you hate that after cleaning any mirror, there are always streak marks from the water, and nothing seems to work to get them off? Well, a trick that people have actually been secretly using for years has gained traction on TikTok. After cleaning your mirror, use a newspaper to dry it. Move it in circular motions for the best result. We give it a solid 5/5.
Hassle-free pomegranate

One of the hardest fruits to cut up and enjoy without a mess is pomegranates. However, do not fret, because this TikTok hack will show exactly how to cut it without going through a lot of trouble. Make six cuts along the top of the pomegranate in the shape of a hexagon, and then cut straight to the bottom from each corner of the hexagon. And the best part is this hassle-free way of cutting a pomegranate works!
How to find the right angle for outside photos

This Influencer has given us the best hack to figure out how to take pictures without shadows outside. All you have to do is use your hand as the subject and find a spot where your hand doesn’t create any shadows, and that’s the angle you should use for pictures.
Evenly reheated food in the microwave
@onlyjayus Microwave Hacks 🧑🏼🍳 #fyp #microwavehacks #microwave #cookinghacks #cooking #chef #lifehacks #lifeadvice #onlyjayus ♬ STAY – The Kid LAROI & Justin Bieber
Here’s something you probably didn’t know: you’re supposed to put your dish on the edge of the plate in the microwave, not in the center. This TikTok hack will make your food reheat evenly. TikToker @Onlyjayus, also recommends adding a bit of water in a cup to go in the microwave if they are reheating pasta or pizza to keep it moist without making it chewy.
Peel off labels easily
@lexie_byers HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS?! Did anyone else know?? #lifehack #lifehacks #mindblown #lifehackvideo #tiktoklifehack #lifetips #tiktoklifehacks ♬ original sound – lexie byers
Have you ever bought dishes, cups, or anything, with stickers on them that just don’t peel off? Well, according to TikToker @lexie_byers, you shouldn’t be peeling them off at all. Instead, grab a piece of tape and stick one half of it on the sticker, leaving the other half like a tab or tail. Use that tab to quickly pull the sticker off all neat and tidy. This TikTok hack really works!
Fix a car dent at home
@marcolivierblackburn Call us if you need your car fixed ! #foryou #fyp #car #friends #mtltiktok #mtl ♬ オリジナル楽曲 – O H A N A ☺︎
This is a well-known hack amongst young car owners now, and it’s really effective. In order to fix a dent in your car, apply heat to it, either with warm water or a hair dryer. Next, push the dent from underneath, and voila! Your car is brand new.
Peel a boiled egg with ease
@sendmarketingadshere This one secret all chef's DON'T want you to know!!….lol jk it's just a boiled egg hack. #boiledegg #coming2america#lifehacks #cooking #eggs #hacks ♬ original sound – Stephen Prentiss
We’ve tried this TikTok hack ourselves, and it really works! Peeling boiled eggs has never been easier. A slight crack on the eggshell before boiling the egg can help make peeling it so much easier. You don’t have to shake it in an ice-cold bath and can choose to peel it yourself, but honestly, both ways work.
