The nifty hack to clean your sink

It’s hard to know exactly how much dirt and grime lurks in the depths of your sink, but a TikTok trend currently doing the rounds suggests a few ice cubes could bring it all to the surface.

Makeup artist and bartender, who goes by the handle @stephyroc99 on TikTok, revealed the surprising household hack in a recent video posted.

"Ya'll I'm so disgusted. I moved here two months ago and randomly decided to do this TikTok trend," she wrote in her video.

In the video, Rochelle poured a few handfuls of ice cubes into her sink drain. She followed that step with running water from the kitchen tap.

A few seconds later, a murky brown colour bubbled up into the sink.

"I could throw up right now," Rochelle captioned the TikTok.

Absolutely disgusted by the results, she decided to let all the brown water drain out of the sink. Then she poured generous amounts of dishwashing detergent and bleach down the drain.

Rochelle tried the ice hack once again to check the state of her sink drain and the liquid that emerged from the sink was clear this time round.

Given how shocking the results it's not surprising the ice cube hack has gone viral, racking up 8.3 million views.
