Mila claims using the spray is the ‘best’ way to leave a sparkling, streak-free shine while cleaning the shower.

The concoction was simply sprayed onto the surface then washed off with water.

Mila then added a few drops of essential oil onto a cotton ball which was then placed at the bottom of the bin under the liner

Mila’s third tip involved ‘buffing’ shaving foam onto the oven door using a microfibre cloth, leaving the stainless steel and glass looking clean and smudge-proof.

The short TikTok video has since gone viral and been viewed more than 263,000 times and received 20,000 ‘likes’.

The video is the second clip in a two-part series where Mila has shared her top cleaning tips.

In the first clip Mila claims lining old newspapers on top of high, tall surfaces makes it easier to remove dust from hard-to-reach places.

She then ‘buffed’ the clean kitchen sink with baby oil to repel water and keep the stainless steel shiny.

Similarly ‘buffing’ bathroom mirrors with a generous amount of shaving foam also helps keep the surface clean and fog-free.
