If there is one thing there’s a lot of, it’s cleaning and organizing tricks, hacks and advice floating around on social media. As head of Solved here at Homes & Gardens, I spend almost every day learning about and testing their voracity. In fact, they’re so popular, and such a growing phenomenon, that a whole new career path has popped up online – being a cleaning influencer.
With that also comes a lot of unnecessary trends and cleaning ideas. Now, after thousands of hours spent personally writing, testing, and editing our cleaning and organizing articles, I can spot a gimmick at 100 paces, and sniff out the concepts that are more of a hindrance than a help.
