A MAN who has been to prison revealed four things he learned while locked up that he still uses every day.
His tips include how to save storage space, the best way to clean, and more.
The man, whose TikTok biography says he is an “ex-felon turned trainer,” shared his tips in a video posted to his uber-popular page called @trellthetrainer.
The first tip he posted is centered around his desire to keep his prison cell as clean as possible when he was incarcerated.
Therefore, he said he would kneel over the toilet to urinate rather than stand to prevent splashing.
Next, he noted mops carry tons of germs, so he learned to get on his hands and knees to clean.
In the video, he showed himself spraying cleaner onto his kitchen floor and wiping it up with a paper towel.
His third tip, although not necessary, is to slam noodles packets on the ground to “prepare” them.
“This one is just a habit.
“There’s no logic,” he admitted.
Finally, he showed himself rolling his socks and tucking the rolled part into the sock opening in order to save space.
He also folded his boxer briefs in half vertically and in half again before rolling them up.
He called this the “prison roll.”
“Keeps socks and underwear nice and neat.
“And helps with storage space in your drawers,” he added.
The felon-turned-trainer’s video was quite a hit and garnered more than 1 million “likes” and hundreds of impressed comments.
“Now I will say this. Men that have been to prison are some of the neatest and cleanest men I’ve ever met,” one viewer wrote.
In reply, the TikToker said: “It’s about respecting your living space and celly.. and if you stay long enough, these become habits we bring into society.”
Another admirer commented: “Honestly I’m proud of you for using your time as a positive motivation instead of an excuse.”
“If your husband doesn’t know how to clean then you know what to do,” a third person joked.
For those looking for simple tips on how to clean – or get their husbands to clean effectively – there are plenty of experts who have shared their knowledge online.
For instance, a professional who goes by Neat Caroline shared a step-by-step method for cleaning an entire bathroom in just 10 minutes.
And for those who do live with men or boys who don’t have the most accurate aim or know the kneeling trick, another expert shared how to keep the bathroom smelling fresh.
