TikToker @mmarlo__5862 shared the hack in a recent viral video.

“Life hack. Use a paper plate to make a splash guard for your mixer,” the on-screen text and voice-over audio said.

The video showed a paper plate wedged over the mixer blades.

Then, the video panned to show how, when put on properly, the plate covers the mixing bowl and prevents the batter from splattering all over.

The video has been viewed more than 1.8million times.

Many TikTokers were floored by the hack.

“Genius,” one person commented.

“TikTok University never disappoints,” another wrote.

“Great idea especially for sweet potato pie,” someone else said.

Meanwhile, another TikToker has shared a different cleaning hack.

She has shared the miracle product she uses to get rid of all the pet hairs on her clothes.

Erika shared the results of her laundry pet hair catcher in a TikTok video online. 

The cleaning fan confessed she thought lint rollers were a waste of time after 25 years.

Erika said: “It took me 25 years to realise lint rolling is a waste.”

The inexpensive pet hair catcher goes in your washing machines with your clothes and catches all hairs.
