Australian hack queen Carolina McCauley has shared seven unusual ways to clean with shaving foam, but not all of her followers are fans of “messy” hacks.
The mum-of-two has used the foam to clean her toilet and bath, sanitize her toilet brush, remove stains and polish surfaces.
Carolina’s followers generally love her cleaning tips, but her comments have been inundated with people saying they “don’t trust” the hacks and are suspicious of the sanitizer quality of shaving foams.
Perth-based mum-of-two Carolina McCauley recently shared her top seven shaving foam cleaning hacks with her millions of followers, but not all of them were impressed


The Clean Sensation shared tips for cleaning your toilet and tub as well as sanitizing your toilet brush. She has also used the product as a stain remover and to polish different surfaces.
The mom uploaded two videos sharing her shaving foam cleaning hacks.
His first tip was to use the foam to “clean and remove odors” from the toilet bowl and “sanitize” the toilet brush.
She then used it to wash her bathtub, giving it a “sparkling” shine.
Carolina has also used the foam as a stain remover, she says carpet stains will “fade” if the product is left on the stain for 20 minutes.
She used the foam to clean the stains on her mattress the same way she cleaned her carpet.
She left the foam on for 20 minutes then wiped it away with a cloth to reveal a stainless steel mattress.
The mum used the product to clean her sink and faucet, it removes traces of water and makes the sink shiny. She also used it to polish mirrors and brass handles.
Carolina supporters were wary of the hacks, calling them “messmakers” that don’t really clean surfaces.
“I don’t trust this advice,” said one woman.
“It doesn’t work at all, I tried it, super excited for nothing because it didn’t take anything away,” another commented.
“It feels like a waste of money when there are things literally designed to do that,” another woman said.
“Or you could buy a cheaper cleanser,” wrote another.
Many Carolina followers took issue with the mother’s claim that the product would sanitize her toilet brush.
‘What is the advantage of using shaving cream over traditional cleaning products with antibacterial agents?’ a man asked.
‘How does shaving foam disinfect?’ asked a woman.
“Shaving cream is not a disinfectant,” said another.
However, some fans approved of the hacks, especially for its power on carpet stains.
“I used it on a carpet stain where nothing worked. Amazing! I had no foam, it was gel. It worked great,” one woman said.
Others found the fact that the hacks worked even more disturbing than if they didn’t.
“It makes you wonder what these guys are putting on their face,” one woman said.
“Sometimes you wonder what’s in these products we put on our bodies,” another wrote.
