A TikToker revealed a dirt cheap cleaning hack
The hack uses a fake tan mitt for painting
In the short clip the woman uses a tanning mitt mitt to wipe black paint across the woodwork.
Text written across the video reads: Don’t waste your time with a paint brush grab a clean tanning mitt.”
But she warned using the mitt without a pair of plastic gloves underneath could spell disaster.
The post caption reads: “Paint hack! Seen this does on many pages but can confirm it does an amazing job!!
“Such a shiny finish that you can’t achieve with a paint brush. TIP make sure you wear a glove under the tanning mitt.”
Footage showed the paint glide seamlessly onto the surface of the banister, without leaving any streaks.
The clip has racked up nearly 50,000 likes and more than 200 viewers flocked to the comments section to ask questions about the hack.
“Are you just putting a dollop of paint and wiping?” asked one.
Another added: “Wonder what other stuff I can do this on? Doors, cabinets, small wall areas?
A third emphasised: “We really need to shout about the wearing a plastic glove underneath part.”
Another who had tried the clever method shared her thoughts: “I did this a couple of years ago, but it does chip easily.
“I have touched it up a few times, but it’s so worth it! The money saved,” she said.
Tanning mitts can be bought for just 1.99 from B&M when a medium sized paintbrush cists £2.25.
It comes as a mum-of-12 has revealed the 99p she can’t live without when it comes to wiping down the family toilets.
