One of Carolina’s weirder tricks is using a pumice stone to clean her toilet.

The mother wets the stone and rubs it against the dark water stains in the toilet bowl to return the porcelain to its original color.

She’s also become a fan of using power tools for chores, saying it helps her finish her cleanup in “half the time.”

The smart cleaner uses a cordless electric brush to deep clean bathroom and shower tiles. Also use a smaller power brush to clean the sink and grout.

Carolina also discovered an easy way to dispose of the oil without clogging the drain.

Place a piece of aluminum foil in your sink drain, then pour the oil onto the foil and allow it to cool before disposing of it normally.

Her final trick is to apply body wash to the inside of your trash can to prevent bad odors.

Carolina’s fans loved the tricks. Parents with small children especially liked his trick to prevent stains on the sofa.

‘Pouring oil on aluminum foil is my favorite trick of the year! Thank you Carolina’, said a woman.

“Tennis shoes in the back of the dryer were a game changer,” another commented.

“These are so smart,” wrote another.
