PARENTS and those who work in childcare will know it's almost impossible to get your kids to wash their hands.
But one mum has claimed to have come up with a genius solution, one that has since taken the internet by storm.
The mum, better known to her 116k fans as Chrissy J. (@chrissy.j.xx) on TikTok, explained that it's all about motivating the kid.
And if the old 'You'll get worms in your tummy' no longer does the trick, Chrissy has the answer - chucking their favourite toy inside a bottle of liquid soap.
Chrissy, believed to be from the UK, added that once the liquid hand wash is finished, they'll get the toy out.
''Cleanest fairy alive,'' the savvy mum chuckled in the caption of her video.
But despite claiming this works like magic, Chrissy's parenting hack received a mixture of responses - some praised her, others were not so sold on the idea.
For the most part, the 175k viewers reckoned their kid would find a way around the system and get their toy without having to wash their hands every day.
One mum laughed: ''my kid would pump all the soap down the drain.''
Another commented: ''Imagine they start wasting it in the sink.''
Others, meanwhile, thanked Chrissy and shared their top tips, like this mum: ''this is so smart! my step son HATES washing his hands for some reason.
''Def trying this!!''

Someone else reckoned: ''People saying they will pour it out super gule it shut.''
If you're on the lookout for more parenting hacks, then look no further, as one mum reckons she's found the answer to using less baby wipes.
Mum-of-two Victoria, who goes by the name of nottoriyav on TikTok, has shared a top tip for parents.
She claimed it means you can ditch the baby wipes.
Every parent will be familiar with having to fork out lots of money on packets of baby wipes.
But Victoria has revealed a ‘mumhack’ and it will last up to a week.
In the video, which has been liked over 19k times, she wrote: “Things I wish I knew as a second time mum.
“Make your own baby wipes.”
Victoria first started off by cutting a roll of paper towels in half.
She then added one half into a bowl, before adding two cups of water, two tablespoons of baby soap and two tablespoons of baby oil.
Victoria says that you can “store in a plastic container” and it’s “good for up to one week.”
Many people quickly rushed to the comment section to share their thoughts.
One wrote: “Good idea, thanks for letting us know.”
Another added: “You can do the same with cloths if you're okay with washing them, my nanny used baby soap and water on my mum and uncles. No worse than washing.”
A third asked: “Don’t they get mouldy.”
To which Victoria replied: “They are good for up to a week.”
