In a world where life hacks reign supreme, Tara Woodcox took to TikTok with an eyebrow-raising suggestion: use a hotel coffee maker to clean your underwear. While her original video aimed to provide a humorous take on traveling hygiene, it quickly spiraled into a viral sensation, attracting both laughter and disbelief from viewers. Woodcox later had to clarify that her hack was never meant to be taken seriously; in fact, she had never actually tried it herself.
Her follow-up video featured a classic moment of family doubt—a relative chimed in, questioning the intelligence behind such a method. Though met with heavy backlash, some viewers looked on the bright side, noting that Tara inadvertently highlighted the often unsanitary nature of hotel coffee makers. The whole thing leaves us wondering just how far people will go for cleanliness when traveling. The next time you’re in a hotel, you might think twice before brewing that morning coffee!
