Just when I was growing frustrated with my leaky Hilife Steamer ($26), TikTok came in and saved the day. It’s no surprise considering the platform is a treasure trove of useful ideas, from the viral iPhone hack to game-changing rice water tips.
I discovered a simple yet incredibly smart way to prevent the water from bursting all over your clothes, saving you cleaning time and making sure the process is smooth. Just throw a sock over it. Yes, it’s that easy. Cover the vent holes with a random sock, and watch it soak up all the water that would’ve ended up on your clothes otherwise.
Go ahead, shop our favorite steamers, and try this hack at home.
