Woman’s “ultimate” cleaning hack for cruise cabins goes viral
An Aussie woman has shared her “ultimate” hack for keeping things clean in your cruise ship cabin, claiming her tips will “change your life”.
Cruising fanatic Olivia believes there are few things worse when on a cruise than waiting around for dirty dishes to be collected and replaced.
She has found a unique way to get around this problem with her “game-changing” hack, that only requires three items: a cheap sponge, dishwashing liquid and a reusable ziplock bag.
In a now-viral clip that has racked up almost one million views, Olivia explained she came across the nifty hack on YouTube and was surprised to discover it actually worked.
“Go to your local supermarket and purchase the cheapest sponge you can find or use a sponge you have already got at home,” she began.
“Once you’ve done this, grab one to two sponges and cut them into little squares.”
“Place them all on a plate, grab dishwashing liquid and make sure you drizzle it over sponge squares (evenly).”
She then said to place the sponges outside in the sun to dry.
“You want the dishwashing liquid to dry into the sponge,” she said.
Olivia then demonstrated how it works, taking one of the squares and running it under water before using it to wash the dirty dishes.
“Instead of having to wait for your mugs, plates, cutlery in your state room or cabin to be replaced every day or cleaned, if you are staying in a cabin with multiple people and they need to use it, you can (now) clean it so easily in no time.”
She said the squares can be used multiple times before the dishwashing liquid is completely used up.
“It will last for about a two-week cruise; it’s fantastic,” she said.
While hundreds of thousands of people have viewed Olivia’s video, many people were torn in the comment section about the unusual tip.
Some praised the unique trick, thanking Olivia for sharing the information.
“Okay that’s actually really good,” one TikTok user wrote.
“Thanks! Doing this with the wine glasses before I use them” said another.
However, while many were impressed by the hack, some wondered why she was washing dishes on a holiday.
“Great idea but no…,” one TikTok user wrote.
“Girl, we’re not going on a cruise to do the dishes … margaritas and mojitos don’t go into cups,” another joked.
