This TikTok pillowcase hack has over 1500 million views — here's why

TikTok this year was full of "miraculous" home hacks for every chore. So far, we have learned the many powers of baking soda in researching how to clean each room in our homes. We also know about the humble dishwasher tablets that went viral for removing grease stains from ovens and baking trays. See what happened when I tried a TikTok cleaning hack using dishwasher tablets.

This latest TikTok "housekeeper" hack is getting a lot of attention for one simple trick, posted by Kaylie @tidycademy with the caption, "If you're a housekeeper, don't leave your guests' pillows like this." She shows a pillow in a pillowcase with the open end of the case hanging loose, tucking the ends in and pulling the sides tight to create a perfect rectangular pillow.

While it may seem like common sense (after all, how hard can it be to put a pillow in a case?

This shows that everyone wants to know how to make the perfect hotel-style pillow that will glam up the bedroom.

1. Once the pillows are inside the case, take the excess from the edge of the pillowcase and tuck it inside.

2. Next, pull both sides of the pillow tight and you have a neat rectangular pillow!

If you want to know how to wash pillows, here's another one.

If your pillows still don't look good, it may be time to invest in new ones. Depending on the type of pillow, the stuffing may become flat, lumpy, bumpy, or lose support.

If you are unsure, try the fold test if you have a cotton or polyester pillow. Other types of pillows, such as down or memory foam, will generally not feel as good as they did before. You may wake up with neck pain or notice lumps in the stuffing. If this is the case, choose a new pillow.
