Put several torn paper towels in the bowl, close the lid and shake vigorously.

Spilling the soapy water (make sure the paper doesn't run down the drain) makes the container look clean and shiny.

American mother and influencer Jeannie @alittleaboutalot explained how she keeps her shower clean by always having a dishwasher with soap dispenser and toiletries on the shelf.

"I wanted to show you a shower and bath trick that I probably shared on YouTube 10 years ago. Have one in each of our showers and bathtubs," said Jeannie in a TikTok video, as it was viewed more than 365,000 times has been.

"I leave it here and after I finish showering, I clean the shower so there are no shower days for thorough cleaning."

Jeannie fills the soap dispenser with half the vinegar and half the detergent, runs it over the shower or bath, and then rinses it off.

She said piracy "makes cleaning easier because it never gets dirty," and even gets her kids to do it.

"I also have it in the boys' bathroom and after bathing the older ones only rub a little and it also keeps the bathroom clean," explained Jeannie.
