Banana Peel Window Cleaning Hack Goes Viral, Claims to Repel Moths
Viral 'Banana Peel' Window Cleaning Hack Sparks Debate OnlineA recent video posted by TikTok user @nicholsonbaba has garnered significant attention, showcasing an unconventional method for cleaning windows and, more surprisingly, deterring moths. The video, titled "Gypsy hack for the day thank me later 🥰😘," demonstrates the user rubbing the inside of a banana peel directly onto a window surface, followed by a wipe-down with a cloth.The creator claims this method not only cleans windows to a "shine" but also acts as an effective deterrent for moths, stating, "Do you suffer with moths? This is the solution to your problems." The video has quickly amassed over 84,500 views, with many users expressing curiosity and skepticism in the comments section.One commenter asked, "does this actually work? has anyone tried it?" while another optimistically stated, "definitely gunna try this thx." However, some users reported mixed results, with one person noting, "No! But now I suffer from fruit flies😳😳." An "ex window cleaner" commented, "not bad 😁," suggesting some potential, while others were intrigued by the moth-deterring claim, with one user saying, "im scared of moths im going to try this."The hack's effectiveness, particularly regarding insect deterrence, remains unverified by scientific sources. While banana peels are known to contain potassium and other nutrients, their properties as a window cleaner or insect repellent are not widely recognized. The video highlights a growing trend of sharing unique and often unproven household tips on social media platforms.
