why though? you didnt explain why we shouldnt do this.
Didn't clean and left the couch very rough
It works best for velvet materiel,, but 1 tabpod is too much for this little water,, put liquid soap instead,,
True @@nakter6123
It was the soap not the lid that's the problem here. Don't use soap to clean carpet or furniture because it will leave residue. The professionals don't use soap. One I know in particular uses baking soda w/ hot water and leaves his clients carpets looking fresh as the day they bought it...
You didnt use fabric conditioner @@handycoco8456
I use 1:1 ratio of warm water and white vinegar and 2 drops dish saop for 1st round, then 2nd round (if needed) 1/3 white vinegar and 2/3 warm water, lastly just water. Vinegar is a cleaner, disinfectant, and fabric softener and will not affect the fabric. Dont worry the smell always goes away. If you want you may add to the last step which is just water 1-2 tbs of Fabtic Refresher Spray Liquid and it will smell really nice. Hope this helps.
P.S. don't use detergents cause it will crust or make the fabric tough. Remember thats why clothes need 2 cycles of rinsing in the washing machine.🥰❤️😘
Thanks for the tip I really appreciate it🙏
Replying so that I can find this when I need it
Amazing tip, but damn 1:1 ?! U sure that ain’t too much vinegar?? 😬
Awesome!! Thank you for this! I’ll try it😊 Is this method of cleaning efficient though, or do you have other recommendations? ❤
Girl ur couch wasn't even dirty
Bacteria isn’t always visible
@@Lilyyxo1so then how would she know if it didn’t work 😂
@@86Kera she can test the water
@@Lilyyxo1 are we cleaning or doing a science project ? Who’s doing all that and how practical is that ? Make that make sense. You want to be able to look at it and see that it’s clean .
@@86Kera both
surfactants need flushed out after you scrub with pot lid . just cant walk away and let all that layer of soap dry on there, resoils very quickly.
100% agree with you
Sprinkle baking soda on cushions and vacuum a hour later if cushion covers cannot be removed laundered. Also good to do dog beds, rugs, and mattresses. ❤
Thank you so much for sharing! will give it a try 😊
Thank you for sharing
@lovemotherearth3805 fyi: Please don't use essential oils if you have furbabies. Most are deadly to animals. I am a licensed Aromatherapist.
Is there particular brand of baking soda?
Someone said baking soda clogs and breaks your vaccum.
You are not supposed to use an entire laundry soap pod LOL only about a tbsp of liquid soap with baking soda. Your couch felt rough after it dried because thats too much soap! Lol
Yeah never again🤣
Yep wayyyyy to much soap
When doing hacks, it is important to do so according to the directions. No where in directions does it say to use a tidepod. Smh.. title should be. "I'm never doing a hack the wrong way again" 😂
Best to use an upholstery cleaner, according to the pro cleaners.. Cuz even if dish soup appears to work wonders, bc of its stickiness, it ends up attracting more dirt 😗
Thank you 😊
I think you supposed to use cold water and wring the towel well. Hot and too much water causes the stretching.
Thanks for the tip👌
😬🙀 In the comments, there's a formula for preparing a cleaning solution with 1T vinegar , 1T of baking soda and 1 T of dish washing soap added to a bowl of warm water. Please don't use a tablespoon of dish soap!! That is way too much and you'll end up with a waxy film on whatever you 'clean'.
Good upholstery cleaner is not very expensive and it does an amazing job at bringing new life to upholstered furniture.
Great tip!
Not to mention vinegar and baking soda neutralize each other one of the worst cleaning myths and my pet peeve 😤 😑 🙄
I don’t understand you said I never do that again but I don’t see any problem
It didn't clean the couch well at all, and left the couch feeling very rough and for a better word hard.. didn't feel soft like it used to be. One thing it did do it make it smell good for a day and that was it.
@@handycoco8456after cleaning, spray with a water and fabric softener solution
Your not supposed to have the cloth soaking wet it should be damp
@@handycoco8456 try adding Laundry softener
It’s not obvious in the video what the problem is
I love the combination of the music and the message. Thank you. jajajajaja.
Thank you
The detergent will leave couch crusty feeling. Lol you need to use upholstery detergent… because your couch is clearly made with upholstery fabric.
Thank you for the tip👍
Pretty sure it's supposed to simulate a steam cleaner, which means your cloth wasn't hot enough.
I used boiled water.. trust it was hot 🔥
@stiaininbeglan3844 - I've seen YT vids where they wrap the soaked cloth around a steam iron to clean the couch!
Bruh, couches have tags where you can see what kind of cleaning you could use to clean it. For example water based, or solvent based cleaning. Also when testing if it worked, at least clean a part of the couch. So that you could know what to use and was it effective or not.
Thank you for the tip.. I've looked all over my couch, and i can't find the tag anywhere.
That detergent is made to be rinsed. If you don't rinse it will leave a sticky residue that will attract even more dirt?
100% you right!
It worked no lie. I literally just tried it @8pm on 6.8.23.
😎
This works I did to clean a corner of my matters and it works so good that I did the whole matrees but I did add baking soda maybe that’s why it work.
Glad it worked for you. For me, it was do much work for very little results
First of all, you did it wrong. You didn’t follow the directions. You’re supposed to mix warm water, 1 T. of each… vinegar, dawn dish soap and baking soda. You mixed water with a Laundry Detergent Pod!!! Way, way to much detergent!!!
I did it the right way and it worked like magic!
There are so many out there, and this happens to be the one I came across to test. Happy this way worked for you though 👌
Best to use an upholstery cleaner instead of dish soap, according to the pro cleaners.. Cuz even if the dish soup appears to work wonders, bc of its stickiness, it ends up attracting more dirt 😗
Vinegar and baking soda cancel each other out. You're basically just using dish soap with salt water. And that is absolutely not the right way.
Get yourself a dedicated carpet cleaning chemical.
Going to try this today!
I’m confused. How did it not work? Explain?
So much work for very little results.. and left my couch feeling very rough
i tried it,too today, itz true, isnt soft anymore but it was clean after almost 20 years of using...but i have different kind of sofa from yours
Yeah it's a lot of work for minimal results in my opinion 😅
Opening Title said "testing the tiktok video" and the ending said "dont bother with this hack". Meaning what? The hack did not work?? Could not understand from the video
Yeah, it didn't work for me, and it was way more work than I've ever done to clean a couch
@@handycoco8456 so what works quickly? Pls guide coz am trying to clean a similar sofa
I tried it my couch is super clean. Highly recommend
Put dish soap in a bucket and add water. Dip the bristles of a scrub brush into the sudsy water about 1/4 inch. Scrub your couch. Let dry.
Cool! might just give it a try😀👍
@@handycoco8456 There you go. Fkin up another couch 😑
🤣🤣🤣
Note: only a surface cleaner
Do not do this
Ive only used baking soda with water. Or somtime vinegar with water to clean my couches 😂😂
Love that!
You probably didn't need to put the detergent in there. The baking soda alone with water or use white vinegar in the water. Either one of those will work well and not leave a rough finish on your couch. Your couch makes mine look filthy lol. I know what you mean about the roughness . I used a little dish soap with vinegar and water in my little green machine and it left it rough feeling too. I avoid the dish soap now.
Thank you for that info. Glad you know what I mean😁
You didn’t say why not to do it again. What happened that you didn’t like it?
It made the couch fabric feel hard.. it took a while to get the couch to feel good again. Rather hire a machine out to do the job faster, better and safer.
With the same process, use detergent and fabric softener. (For cloth couches)
It will give nice smell and won’t leave the couch crunchy.
And that is way less water for the amount of dish soap u r using.. no wonder the couch might have felt crunchy.
It wasn't dish soap. It was a laundry pod...
Fabric softener is terrible for any fabric and also causes huge amounts of buildup in your washer, a little bit of vinegar does the same thing and doesn't ruin your washing machine
It's funny that you actually tried the "hack" 🤣🤣🤣
🤣
What is the name of this song? So many social media folks use it and I love it!!!
Its called Dreams 😊
ruclips.net/video/8Ps9fSF4qcQ/видео.html
Theres a tag inside sofas that has a code for what to use to clean them.
Awesome I'll check it out👌thank you
But Ur couch was like New ,,I thut this video is about a new couch 😂😂😂
It's hard to see how dirty it was in the vid, in the full vid you can see the dyson pull alot of dirt out
Thank you bc I was so intrigued at first 😅
Thanks for watching
There’s a lot of mixed feelings here so I don’t think I’m going to try this. I’ll get upholstery cleaner.
It's a lot of work for little result.. that's why I don't recommend it👍
You didn't use baking soda like the video shows.
I haven't seen a video with the baking soda? I won't do it again though.. but thanks for watching 🙏😀
It worked Good for me!
looks like you did your homework before attempting this project. lol
🤣🤣🤣 glad someone noticed
Is the hack meant for this material? I saw with one tablespoon of baking soda and a tablespoon of dish soap in liter of warm water 😐
The hack that was using a laundry pod.. this one sounds like a different one. I've got another one in the pipeline and will post the results asap. Thanks for watching
In this clip he uses wrong type of pot lid. Not using any technique to scrape foam through & out of the pile into the cloth which is there to absorb the soap & dirt. Must rinse and squeeze dry the cloth multiple times as you go or your just wetting the couch with dirty soapy water.
@@superlimpiter1135can you make a video showing the movement technique please. Thanks
I never saw this hack with a full load of laundry pod! Maybe a bit too much soap? And looked like too much water for sure. 😢sorry it didn’t work out for you.
Thank you for watching🙂
Your couch is so clean!
It's hard to see that it is really not clean on camera
you didn't even use all the ingredients I see people use...I'm gonna try it
Good luck. I hope it works for you.
It seemed like it worked, your water was dirty...
It work maybe 20%, and also left the couch feeling rough
I clean in the same way.😊
That's great!
Don't do this to your couch leaving product all in fabric and that is the worst thing to do!
100% agree
what vacuum did you use??
It a Dyson V11. I have lots of videos on it. Have a look at my channel😊
I already scrub my couch with a sponge and laundry detergent. Same thing.
100%
Carpet & upholstery cleaning channel here, please don't use a washing tab on your couch.
Thanks for the tip! I won't do it again👌
@handycoco8456 if the couch is poly blend (polyester etc) go to a pet shop and get some enzyme spot cleaner, always test a patch before completing a spray
👍
Awesome, I'll give it a try sometime.. I just did a clean with upholstery cleaner, and it worked way better! Thank you💪
Maybe on a dirtier couch could have some effect 😂
I'll get one😉
you will have mold start building without drying it out
100%
You didn’t really get in there either. You just brushed over ot
Trust me this process took about 3 hours and that's excluding the actual cushions. It's hard to show it in a RUclips short which is limited to 60sec
Please get a proper upholstery cleaner to come in do the tests on your sofa and determine a safe approach. What if it's 100% linen and you can't wet clean it? You'll brown the whole thing and ruin it. That's why upholstery cleaners go and get trained to make sure that thousands worth of upholstery doesn't get ruined.
100%
You could also check the tag. I’m a big advocate of clean environments, and sofas can hold a lot of allergens and dust and oils etc. yes a professional is better but I don’t think that’s accessible to everyone. That being said I absolutely do not agree with the viral TikTok method in this video. It’s way too concentrated and will never rinse out, it’ll basically turn your sofa into a cleaning sponge that attracts dirt faster.
Best method, thoroughly and slowly vacuum everywhere (make sure your attachments are clean and don’t have sharp edges). If you can afford them, i use the following. I suggest spot treating and spraying the sofa down with a dedicated cleaner or diluted solution. I like bissell pro max, but many people like folex, just something low sudsing and dedicated for carpet cleaning. Always test spot it. Give it a spray, hit it with a drill brush with soft bristles or even a sponge depending on material. Go over it with a steamer. And then use an extractor to spray clean plain water to flush out the cleaning agent and extract it. You want it to dry as fast and as thoroughly as possible, I even recommend placing clean towels over any areas that had difficult stains that might wick (return to the surface).
And no the machines will not be as powerful as truck mounted ones, but this is an affordable way to maintain things. For a lighter clean I’d vacuum, spot treat, and give it a wipe with a very diluted solution, and then a clean damp cloth, and follow up with a cloth to remove any excess moisture.
@@aval5098thank you for this I just purchased a used sofa and was unsure of a safe way to clean it due too funds being low right now.
@@aval5098 OMGGGG CAN YOU DO A BRAKE DOWN THIA WAS A LOT😂😂 NAME OF SOLUTIONS
ALSO CAN A WET VAC BE USE FOR DRYING???YOUR GOOD
@@kookiedonaldson4487 hey sorry for the late response. Yeah I’ll absolutely help in any way I can.
Let’s do this. Tell me what you want to clean and what you’re working with as far as if you have machines or chemicals etc. if you’re looking to remove stains it’s helpful to know what they are as different stains need different approaches.
To answer your question directly, you can absolutely use a shop vac/wet dry vac to extract. They even make kits to turn your shop vac to an extractor with the addition of a water hose. If I was on a budget or didn’t have space and couldn’t get an extractor I would probably use my shop vac with either a very very diluted mixture or I’d try to rinse it some how. I guess I’d use a spray bottle with water and spray the water manually as I’m vacuuming up the dirty soapy water. Anyway all questions are welcome. I’ve spent a lot of time researching and trying things with the goal of being able to clean effectively while not damaging anything. Ask away. :)
It is for carpet not a sofa
I'm not sure. The video I based it off of was done on a couch.
Cuando usted se baña ,se queda con el jabón puesto?
Exactly! that's why this didn't work👌
Il faut rincer apres. Avec de l'eau claire et un chiffon propre... Comme pour ta vaisselle ! Sinon cest sir que ton tissu va rester dans cet état...
100% agree
Yea, I tried this. Left my chair crunchy no matter how long I brushed it. Felt like the dirt came to the surface, and then I couldn't get rid of the film!
Yeah did make the couch feel a bit rough due to the lack in rinsing.
@@handycoco8456 you need to create a foam in the cloth, then using a pot lid with a sharp edge, the technique is to drag the sharp edge over the fabric. This should create a foamy layer which you then pull along and out of the fabric. Rinsing the cloth each time you scoop or "shave" the foam through the cloth....rinse, squeeze cloth and wrap lid n repeat! Bleddy faf tho!
@@superlimpiter1135wow best explanation ever on what this technique is about!! Thanks!
You have a clean couch, come over and clean mine I got 2 twin boys half the house is written on
Hahaha I have two kids as well. I can assure you things in my house don't stay clean past a few days🤣
It doesn't work for me 😢
But did it smell clean?
Yeah for the day it did
It works for the bad smell??
It makes it smell better for a few days and that's it..
Anionic surfactants want to have a word with you.
🤣🤣🤣
Did it work?
No it didn't clean the couch, just made it smell good for a day or two
No good showing it on a clean couch
I can assure you the couch is far from clean.. have two kids, and it's always dirty.
I thought the added vinegar as well???
You could probably do so.. lemme know how it goes if you do?
We should do this or not ?
Gee thanks. Your sofa looks terrible. You can’t believe everything you see.
Thanks 😹
Thanks for watching 😀
U cleaned it with shampooer first in this video duh
It's a laundry detergent pod, not shampoo.
Just buy a steamcleaner😂
Working on it
Cause we all have the money to just put that above everything else on our list 😂
@@sherie.for what it’s worth they’re becoming more affordable for small ones. It might be worth the investment considering it has a wide variety of uses that can actually promote a healthier environment in your home.
@@aval5098 okay cool thank you.
it looks good though lmao
Thanks for watching
No entiendo para q la tapa de la olla????
This was how the hack was made, it is supposed to push into the fibers of the fabric. but it didn't clean the couch at all, just made it smell good for a day or two.
Parque Los brushes estan chikitos hi la tapa esta grande mas rapido para limpiar 😁👍🏼
❤❤❤
💚
Don’t save money and buy my product 😂
What's the product?
Why would anyone even do this when a simple spot shampooer on Amazon is under $40??
This is the goal🤣
Exactly!!
Thanks for watching
why
Because the couch felt no cleaner than before.
@@handycoco8456 i saw A LOT of dirt in that water.. that counts for SOMETHING l
@@SoniaLopez-cz2pw sure it does, but it was the same amount of work as if I hired a wet vacuum and a lot more dirt came out of that
Would it work on a mattress to freshen it up?
@@handycoco8456 oh my goodness!! I tried it yesterday and u were right.. It felt like I had to spend wayyyy too much time and energy to get the couch cleaned like I wanted.. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS METHOD!
