As a professional carpet/sofa cleaner i have to say that this method works ONLY in surface. There is no deep cleaning and all the dust and acarea which they leave INSIDE the coushions are not removed this way. This is just for refreshing the fabric and if you do that frequently your sofa will smell bad eventually because of the dust inside which it gets wet. My friendly advice to you: Vaccum your sofas first for deep cleaning and THEN rub the fabric.
You cant remove all the dirt through vacuum. Vacuum is only to remove water from washed sofa but the material inside the fabric works like a filter which hold all the dust inside. So your comment is not accurate
Maybe a few years old, how would you know. If she regularly does this it keeps surface dust and dirt build up off. Yes it's a perfectly clean couch now, after she wiped it, didn't you notice the surface dirt removed
As a pro cleaner, I would like to make a suggestion for DIY. The lid thing is pretty cool, however the dish soap is not. Use a foaming carpet and upholstery cleaner made for your car instead of dish soap. If you ever have it professionally cleaned after using dish soap, please tell the pro what you did lol. This stuff will foam up to the point of him having to use a lot of defoamer to clean it and yes it will cost extra. Dish soap may feel soft after cleaning but it is quite sticky and will attract a lot of dirt. The foaming upholstery cleaner will dry as a fine powder that is easily vacuumed out, leaving little to no residue. Great video and It could get you out of a bind, but use the foaming upholstery cleaner on the same spots to remove some of the dish soap as soon as possible.
Would you replace both the dish soap as well as the baking soda with the upholstery cleaner? Or just the dish soap (you only mentioned the dish soap)? Thanks
@jscraftynook4277 The foaming cleaner will dry and be easily removed with vacuuming after it dries. Remember that laundry detergent is rinsed out in the washing machine. Laundry detergent would have to be rinsed out as well.
I actually tried this solution, albeit skeptically, on a stain on our west elm couch. I didn’t use the lid, just the solution, a white microfiber cloth, and my hand. Lo and behold the white cloth was coming up dingy after a few rubs. I repeated several times and then went over the rest of the couch lightly. I also rinsed the cloth with water and rubbed the stain and couch as a final step, as some suggested. To my surprise, the next day when dry, the stain was completely gone. I was shocked. I couldn’t be happier. Saving this video.
First time to encounter your upload and i was really surprised to find out how you make complicated task such as cleaning the couch with baking soda and dishwashing solution mixed in water could simply clean and removed the stubborn dirt in it. Thanks for such a presentation that is practical and helpful. Engr Boyet from Philippines.
Apologize for my stupidity, I can't see what the Lid is used for in this approach. What is the different between using a Lid as a "Skeleton" and simply a cleaning towel? Or, it will increase the surface area to save some time?
I would have thought it would be an idea to repeat the process with water after to rinse the solution off otherwise it will remain slightly sticky and attract dirt even more?
Thank you!! I tried this trick exactly as shown and it finally got out my couch stains. They weren't big or super noticeable, but still bothered me. I tried before this video just directly spraying it with water, vinegar, and dish soap solution, but that just created a water spot! Thanks again.♥️
11/14/22: I like the concept, but it would have been nice to see if the couch and rug were dirty to begin with and then to have done a section at a time to see the difference. Your couch and rug looked wonderful, so I really couldn't see how well it cleaned, but I have a chair that can use this technique and I will definitely try it. I think it's pretty cool. Thanks for sharing!
Thats because its a dumb idea, and no better than simply putting a rag in your hand and scrubbing. And since the lid is concave, the pressure point is a thin ring, instead of much more surface area of pressure from just your own hand. Idiotic.
It probably works well with furniture that is lightly soiled. If it's real dirty, it will take more time (and cloths) You could see some soiling on the cloth when she unwrapped the lid. Looks like it will work ok. The more often you clean your upholstery, it will be quicker to do.
I liked your idea. I did notice that you cleaned the dirty couch area, and then showed the dirt that covered the clean cloth. Also, as soon as you rinsed the “dirty” cloth back into the clean water, you could see just how much dirtier the water looked - that proves it picked up the dirt! Kudos to you for finding an easier method that doesn’t require the carpet to be soaked with unnecessary amounts of water!!! I have a very old beautiful wool carpet that would have cost me $800.00 to have professionally cleaned. I couldn’t afford that. I used this method, and was so impressed - the colours in my carpet looked so much brighter! ( it was an 8’x5’ carpet). It is also a much easier way to clean carpeted stairs - we have two indoor cats - i can’t thank you enough! I’m from Ontario, Canada.
How is this genius. making your couch sticky it’s stupid. Not genius. Rubbing soap on your couch and not rinsing it off will just cause it to leave sticky residue
This really works! I had a spot on off white carpet that came up. I already use dishsoap on couches but using the pot lid really allows a good, flat, grip. Thank you for the demo!
•Get a bowl of warm (hott) water •Put baking soda dishwashing liquid in it •Soak a microfiber towel in it •Wring out the towel •Wrap pot lid with microfiber towel, using rubber band to secure it around the handle •Then rub/scrub it over ur couch scrubbing harder in areas that are dirtier. •Rince, Wring it out and repeat

I noticed that the edges of my pot lids were looking unclean. I sprayed some cleaning solution onto my couch cushions and then ran the pot lids over the top of them Sure enough, it cleaned the pot lids. The couch cushions were no longer clean so I turned them upside down.
I will certainly try it! I’ve cleaned chairs and couches with shaving cream before, shaving cream works well with stains such as grease. But you need to scrub the spot with a brush.
This works !!!! And I don’t know why I didn’t need to use an elastic band,,, I don’t think I will ever look at a pot lid the same way again !! Thank you so much ❤I have shared this video with my sister and liked ✅ and subscribed ✅
I was skeptical at first but oh my goodness it actually worked! I have been spending so much on carpet cleaners what a waste of money, just good old fashioned scrubbing with a cloth (I didn’t use a lid) did the trick! thank you so much!! you have saved me a fortune
I am 100% going to try this on my rugs, couches and even my car apholstry! I appreciate the pace of this video (and am so glad it's not full of quick edits and people screaming at me 😉
I tried it. It was quick and easy . . . It actually made my couch look clean! I was pretty skeptical about it at first . . . I will still steam clean it bc yes, let's say if my toddler pees or vomits on the couch- you still need deep steam cleaning. This works for lighter stains.
Good idea. But doesn't the lid give you a much bigger service area than your hand? I'd use your trick to apply on an area where the lid wasn't enough on it's own. Thanks for sharing.
That makes two of us. Either it doesn't really work that well or her chair and carpets are not really dirty to begin with. I use a carpet scrubber on my rugs ever three to four months (I have a 14 month old puppy) and I get more dirt out of them then she just did.

The mixture works on cloth seats but if you have deep stains you gotta scrub hard. It's better to wrap the cloth around a brush and scrub. This only works if you already have nearly clean seats
I was thinking the same thing. As someone pointed out it's really just the edge of the lid doing the main work. If you skip the lid and just bunched it up it would work just fine and then you can flip it or rebunch it easily for a clean portion of the towel. Not sure how the lid is any improvement. Lots of wasted prepped towel behind the lid.
It's the mixture that cleans the seats. Not the pot top. This only works on flat surfaces. You caint press hard enough with a pot top or get into cracks. A cloth wrapped around a brush is better. I tried both ways
Just a tip; When posting graphics, such as pictures or words on to your video, it is best to allow the text or image to stay on the screen a minimum of 3-5 seconds .Longer for multi sentence graphics. This video was great. Learned something new ! Great content.
Thanks for this helpful video. I am going to use this method, only with foam cleaner, rather than dish washing liquid. I love the pan lid idea, for greater, even coverage and control. Great video. Thanks! ❤
I love when someone comes up with an effective & efficient strategy when I feel like I'm overworking myself cleaning one spot but have an entire house to do lol
I made your liquid cleaner for cleaning, but, I thought I wonder if this would work for the litter box because the least expensive spray at 14 dollars a spray bottle was no longer available and the replacement was in the 20 dollar range. So I tried your formula on the litter box and it is just as good at keeping down the smell as the store-bought freshener! THANKS
I just used this method on a mattress, that I had cleaned several times, with many different methods. One was actually a chemical to remove urine stains used at a school. Those seemed to make the mattress more yellow, and the outline of the stain never disappeared. I just used it, on this same mattress, knowing the mattress was excellant, but could not give it to anyone with those "stains". Lo and behold it worked, and I did not by any means soak the mattress, It came out beautifully, and for a young mom of 4 children, whose mattress had springs sticking out, she will be very happy and safe to use it. Being a spring mattress, rather than foam, there is not that deep depth of fabric to have to penetrate, I do not know how to clean the foam, type mattresses.
This is fine for in between getting your couch professionally cleaned/shampooed. I have carpets upstairs so every couple years or so I get a company and they do the carpets and our downstairs couch at the same time. It's usually under 500 bucks. I scotch guard my couch - we have a dog but I still put on a throw blanket for him and he knows that's where he is supposed to lay on. But I'm a bit of a weirdo I guess :)
You’re not a weirdo. It is better to be safe than sorry. You know how much you can or want to handle and you make it easier for yourself. That’s the definition of self love.
We professional carpet cleaners actually often use something similar called VLM "Very Low Moisture." At home, I use a folded towel on small spots to absorb spilled liquids. Then apply Woolite FOAM upholstery cleaner ($5). After applying the foam, rub, don't scrub the area with a dry towel. It adds very little moisture so it does not wick up any soil from beneath. Repeat the next day if a stain wicks back up. PS: Leave a dry towel on the spot overnight to help prevent and stains from wicking.
this is so true. I haven't tried this, but I'm overly familiar with the dish soap magnitism. I wonder if a followup whipe with a cloth only soaked in water would make a difference in removing any dish soap residue. Another tip to add, if the furiture is covered in microfiber the easiest way to clean it without leaving a water ring is by using distilled water. Happy lid scrubbing to everyone!
Use vinegar and a few drops of any essential oil you like, instead of the soap. Of course, add it to the water. I’d say about a 1/2 cup vinegar to the water. The vinegar removes odors and is a fantastic cleaner, and when it dries, the vinegar smell is gone.
Agree with the plain water or perhaps follow-up the cleaning with another round of just water to remove the soap residue. Otherwise,soap residue can build up over time, especially with routine cleaning. I wouldn’t like to be exposed to soap whenever I sit/lay on the sofa. May not safe for pet either.
you are doing 3 things all at the same time. 1- you teach us a useful skill, 2- you clean your house, 3- you make a video! i really appreciate this handy tip. thank you
Thanks for the useful and creative tip. I followed and clean my carpets and couch and bed nicely with this. But just one comment, i feel the baking soda and detergent dosage is too high. After the bed and couch and carpets dried from cleaning, my hands and legs felt sticky when i came into contact with them (e.g sitting or standing or walking in the couch and carpets). Upon rinsing my hands and legs, they felt very soapy. And when i walk or sit on these furniture again, the same repeats and it was very uncomfortable as they felt sticky and when i rinse my hands they are soapy. So i had to clean these furnitures again with same method but using just clean water. And i had to clean each of them 4 to 5 times with lots of cloth-rinsing in between in order to get rid of the soapiness likely due to the baking soda / detergent. So in the end, it tires me out totally and didnt felt easy or helpful. I am surprised nobody else experiences this from following the tip. Just a headsup in case you are going to try. And also to the video owner, you might want to revise your recommendation.
Please read comments left by investigations by sure shot.. not unique or different than just using a drop of soap and water. It does not remove deep embedded stains. We are to believe the pot lid acts like a steamer due to the wet microfiber and mentioned chemicals. Yes it appears to clean but so will warm water without a pot lid.
Cleaver idea, saves your skin from so much scrubbing! I'll place a soft sponge inside of the lid to create a firm cleaning pad. Then finish cleaning with an additional rinsing and finally a drying towel Thanks for this video ❕
This looks like it could work but honestly your home looks very clean. We have a long haired cat and since his hair gets stuck in the vacuum, we have been looking for another way to clean the carpet, the sofa in the living room and futons around the house. Hopefully my results will be as good as yours. Thank you for this video.
You probably already know about them but just in case, have you got a rubber pet hair upholstery brush? These brushes have large rubber bristles, which don't look like they'll be very effective but they do work pretty well in my experience.
For pet hairs on carpets, wear a clean pair of trainers and drag your feet over the carpet...you get a workout and a pile of hair lifted at the same time☺
Make sure you reapply the scotch guard that you cleaned off so you can ensure any spots come right out!! Upholstery Scotchguard not the carpet scotchguard
I've been wondering about how to clean a small area carpet in the loo, when I came upon your video. I certainly intend to try it, perhaps minus the dishwashing liquid, as another writer suggested that this might only get sticky and attract more dirt later. But I'm looking forward to a cleaner carpet and send you my thanks. I've subscribed and look forward to learning more from your ideas. Best wishes to you.
I used it today and it worked. I wouldn't leave the soap out. Make sure to squeeze out the liquid until the towel is just damp. The baking soda on the surface dries, you can vacuum it. The baking soda absorbs the soap. I've also done a similar method except using peroxide instead of water on a large chair cushion. It's good for when you can't remove the cover.
I see what you are doing , cover a larger surface area with the saucepan lid , you don’t over wet the area by using micro fibre also using your hand instead of a machine you can feel and have more control. I’ll defo try even though I have a carpet cleaner. Thank you. 🙂
I will try it your way. But one comment said vacuum first and wet after that. I liked this way Not too wet. Squeeze thoroughly before I rub it. Love from US
@@ana419 I can't remember what it stands for, but it's something to do with enhanced audio. People who like this stuff seem to enjoy the sound of hair brushing, etc
ASMR stands for "Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response." It typically refers to the "tingly feeling" that travels from the head downward that some experience in response to certain sounds, feelings, or descriptions. These can include soft whispering, crinkling paper, or a gentle touch. Bob Ross was one of the first to introduce this during his painting shows with his soft voice and the sounds of his paint brushes sweeping against the canvas.
@@karenlegebokoff6969 it's the edges of the pan that make the most contact with the cushions doing the scrubbing with help of the microfiber cloth. The circular shape just makes it cover surface area more smoothly and quickly, as well as easily hover over the convex shapes of couch cushions. That's why there is a faint ring of dust on the cloth when she removes it from the pot lid but you have to look closely.
No stain before and no stain after. This really works! 😆

The mixture works on cloth seats but if you have deep stains you gotta scrub hard. It's better to wrap the cloth around a brush and scrub. This only works if you already have nearly clean seats
Actually, the edge of the lid have a lot of pressure to a small point to scrape the dirt away with so it works great.

This video was great. Learned something new ! Great content.
It works just tried on my carpet and chairs. Thanks for the tip
❤ Thank You 🙏🏽 Thank You 🌟 Thank You ❤ Much Respect From New Zealand ❤️
This really works. I cleaned them last week and the house smelled amazing.
Thanks for this helpful video. I am going to use this method, only with foam cleaner, rather than dish washing liquid. I love the pan lid idea, for greater, even coverage and control. Great video. Thanks! ❤
Fantastic carpet cleaning hack! Definitely going to try this on our hallway carpet. Sending love and warm greetings from Missouri.
I love this idea of using a pot lid to get better coverage and easier on the wrist. ❤
The video I didn’t even know I needed. I was looking for organizing videos.
👍🏼✨ Great tip!
Hey, I will try this and thanks for uploading this video. Its refreshing to see one to the point and no poorly chosen background music!
I tried this on our new sofa and it looks like new afterwards :) amazing
😂😂😂
Washing perfectly clean furniture. oooohhhhh --- I'm impressed .
Wonderful,,I give u 10, from Dallas, USA
This s the best video for cleaning sofas . Thank you 🙏
I think this makes a lot of sense because when trying to just use a microfiber cloth, it just rolls up on itself. Good tip!
I love when someone comes up with an effective & efficient strategy when I feel like I'm overworking myself cleaning one spot but have an entire house to do lol
Thanks for this!!! I'm about to shampoo my carpet and this will be great for pretreatmen and maintenance along the way!
Upstate South Carolina. This was almost like an ASMR video. Love it!
Anything but. Her fingers pointing were scratching me on the inside. Real unpleasant.
Works better than the steam cleaner I bought!
I would say 8.5 out of 10

I made your liquid cleaner for cleaning, but, I thought I wonder if this would work for the litter box because the least expensive spray at 14 dollars a spray bottle was no longer available and the replacement was in the 20 dollar range. So I tried your formula on the litter box and it is just as good at keeping down the smell as the store-bought freshener! THANKS
I just used this method on a mattress, that I had cleaned several times, with many different methods. One was actually a chemical to remove urine stains used at a school. Those seemed to make the mattress more yellow, and the outline of the stain never disappeared. I just used it, on this same mattress, knowing the mattress was excellant, but could not give it to anyone with those "stains". Lo and behold it worked, and I did not by any means soak the mattress, It came out beautifully, and for a young mom of 4 children, whose mattress had springs sticking out, she will be very happy and safe to use it. Being a spring mattress, rather than foam, there is not that deep depth of fabric to have to penetrate, I do not know how to clean the foam, type mattresses.
This is fine for in between getting your couch professionally cleaned/shampooed. I have carpets upstairs so every couple years or so I get a company and they do the carpets and our downstairs couch at the same time. It's usually under 500 bucks. I scotch guard my couch - we have a dog but I still put on a throw blanket for him and he knows that's where he is supposed to lay on. But I'm a bit of a weirdo I guess :)
You’re not a weirdo. It is better to be safe than sorry. You know how much you can or want to handle and you make it easier for yourself. That’s the definition of self love.
This is a very interesting process. I'll have to check it out. Thanks for sharing this video with us and let's keep it going ❣️
Watching this to fall sleep. It has ASMR effect on me. Thank you. Stay Blessed Always
Yes, tried this after 1st video; good surface cleaner! Namaste...California
That's actually a brilliant idea and one that most people should already have the supplies for. Thanks for the tip!
I’m trying this tomorrow and will come back with results.
I just did this! Works with and without the pot lid tbh
That's what I thought. The lid seems like a hssle
We professional carpet cleaners actually often use something similar called VLM "Very Low Moisture." At home, I use a folded towel on small spots to absorb spilled liquids. Then apply Woolite FOAM upholstery cleaner ($5). After applying the foam, rub, don't scrub the area with a dry towel. It adds very little moisture so it does not wick up any soil from beneath. Repeat the next day if a stain wicks back up. PS: Leave a dry towel on the spot overnight to help prevent and stains from wicking.
That dish soap is going to act as a magnet for dirt once it dries.
this is so true. I haven't tried this, but I'm overly familiar with the dish soap magnitism. I wonder if a followup whipe with a cloth only soaked in water would make a difference in removing any dish soap residue. Another tip to add, if the furiture is covered in microfiber the easiest way to clean it without leaving a water ring is by using distilled water. Happy lid scrubbing to everyone!
could just use plain water, the water and microfiber alone can clean everything that stands water
Use vinegar and a few drops of any essential oil you like, instead of the soap. Of course, add it to the water. I’d say about a 1/2 cup vinegar to the water. The vinegar removes odors and is a fantastic cleaner, and when it dries, the vinegar smell is gone.
I didn’t know this!!
Agree with the plain water or perhaps follow-up the cleaning with another round of just water to remove the soap residue. Otherwise,soap residue can build up over time, especially with routine cleaning. I wouldn’t like to be exposed to soap whenever I sit/lay on the sofa. May not safe for pet either.
Definitely a 10. Thanks for sharing. Thumbs-up 👍
This is awesome, it obviously works very well - thank you for sharing!! 💖
Looks like a good idea!! ❤️ And I live in Texas, US! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
you are doing 3 things all at the same time. 1- you teach us a useful skill, 2- you clean your house, 3- you make a video! i really appreciate this handy tip. thank you
Bless you for sharing your techniques with everyone.
Thanks for the useful and creative tip. I followed and clean my carpets and couch and bed nicely with this. But just one comment, i feel the baking soda and detergent dosage is too high. After the bed and couch and carpets dried from cleaning, my hands and legs felt sticky when i came into contact with them (e.g sitting or standing or walking in the couch and carpets). Upon rinsing my hands and legs, they felt very soapy. And when i walk or sit on these furniture again, the same repeats and it was very uncomfortable as they felt sticky and when i rinse my hands they are soapy. So i had to clean these furnitures again with same method but using just clean water. And i had to clean each of them 4 to 5 times with lots of cloth-rinsing in between in order to get rid of the soapiness likely due to the baking soda / detergent. So in the end, it tires me out totally and didnt felt easy or helpful. I am surprised nobody else experiences this from following the tip. Just a headsup in case you are going to try. And also to the video owner, you might want to revise your recommendation.
Also possible your cloth was too saturated. Might try wringing it out more
I agree that it was way too much soap. The baking soda softens the water which makes the soap effect stronger.
This is a FANTASTIC video and i can’t wait to try it. Thank you 😊
4:12 This is the best cleaning tip ever! 😀I couldn't believe how well it worked and easy! 😀😀😀 Thanks for sharing. 10/10.
Please read comments left by investigations by sure shot.. not unique or different than just using a drop of soap and water. It does not remove deep embedded stains. We are to believe the pot lid acts like a steamer due to the wet microfiber and mentioned chemicals. Yes it appears to clean but so will warm water without a pot lid.
That's the end of the video dipsh
Дякую! Дуже цікавий спосіб, треба обов'язково спробувати). 💜
It works nice because it gives you a handle and a large surface area of scrubber. I think it’s great ! 👍
Used this method on an area rug… it works great. In addition to dirt, grabs pet hair and leaves the rug smelling fresh.
The sound of peace in your home is so peaceful ✨
Lmfao. That's smart as hell. Good job.
I used shaving foam with sponge and the results are unbelievable.
@caringprism8841 I have also! One time it helped me remove nail polish. #truestory !
Awesome video, would like to know some cleaning hacks for a leather couch. Thanks and Mr. Clean blesses you.
Cleaver idea, saves your skin from so much scrubbing!
I'll place a soft sponge inside of the lid to create a firm cleaning pad.
Then finish cleaning with an additional rinsing and finally a drying towel
Thanks for this video ❕
Hey, thank you! Great little trick to refresh upholstery! Love it. And glad no one is YELLING at me for being helpful!!! 😮
Sorry, but the couch and carpet looked clean already prior to you using the lid. Not a believer.
I was just thinking the same thing.
Try again lady with visibly dirtier carpet. DUH.
I tried and tried to believe, but I just couldn't see any evidence of its cleaning.
@@bobweiram6321How about you actually try it and come back with evidence
I know me too, everyone has a dirty spot somewhere, I was like please let me see u do this on a dirty spot
Best thing I bought was a vax carpet cleaner omggg it's amazing
Danke
Hat bei meinem ganz dreckigen Teppich geholfen.
Merci. Awesome.
"If you cover your dog with aluminum foil, he will do this!" and other fine videos brought me to this one. LOL.
This looks like it could work but honestly your home looks very clean. We have a long haired cat and since his hair gets stuck in the vacuum, we have been looking for another way to clean the carpet, the sofa in the living room and futons around the house. Hopefully my results will be as good as yours. Thank you for this video.
You probably already know about them but just in case, have you got a rubber pet hair upholstery brush? These brushes have large rubber bristles, which don't look like they'll be very effective but they do work pretty well in my experience.
@@alexmckee4683 Actually, I haven't heard of it before now. Since you told me I'll look for a rubber pet hair upholstery brush. Thanks so much!
Best way I rem0ve cat fur is a rubber gl0ve...put it 0n and rub 0n the furniture, w0rks great
@@BigBroWatcher Thanks for the tip, I'll try that too.
For pet hairs on carpets, wear a clean pair of trainers and drag your feet over the carpet...you get a workout and a pile of hair lifted at the same time☺
I recently started watching your videos. Not sure what's taken utube so long??
I love all of your teachings!
I'm Sheri in state of Va.
Make sure you reapply the scotch guard that you cleaned off so you can ensure any spots come right out!! Upholstery Scotchguard not the carpet scotchguard
You cleaned a clean chair 👏😂
Thank You 💞 I'll give it a trial
I've been wondering about how to clean a small area carpet in the loo, when I came upon your video. I certainly intend to try it, perhaps minus the dishwashing liquid, as another writer suggested that this might only get sticky and attract more dirt later. But I'm looking forward to a cleaner carpet and send you my thanks. I've subscribed and look forward to learning more from your ideas. Best wishes to you.
I used it today and it worked. I wouldn't leave the soap out. Make sure to squeeze out the liquid until the towel is just damp. The baking soda on the surface dries, you can vacuum it. The baking soda absorbs the soap.
I've also done a similar method except using peroxide instead of water on a large chair cushion. It's good for when you can't remove the cover.
I see what you are doing , cover a larger surface area with the saucepan lid , you don’t over wet the area by using micro fibre also using your hand instead of a machine you can feel and have more control. I’ll defo try even though I have a carpet cleaner. Thank you. 🙂
L
I will try it your way. But one comment said vacuum first and wet after that. I liked this way
Not too wet. Squeeze thoroughly before I rub it. Love from US
easy to clean what’s already clean
For sure
Thank you maybe that will save my hands from getting tore up the next time I decide to scrub on something thank you so much
This should definitely have ASMR in the title 😊
Ok, I'll ask... What's ASMR?
@@ana419 I can't remember what it stands for, but it's something to do with enhanced audio.
People who like this stuff seem to enjoy the sound of hair brushing, etc
@@woah6958 Haha! Indeed, they do. Lots of self-lulling in these hard times, bit odd, but hey. Thanks for your reply!
@@ana419 odd, for sure. 😄
ASMR stands for "Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response." It typically refers to the "tingly feeling" that travels from the head downward that some experience in response to certain sounds, feelings, or descriptions. These can include soft whispering, crinkling paper, or a gentle touch. Bob Ross was one of the first to introduce this during his painting shows with his soft voice and the sounds of his paint brushes sweeping against the canvas.
Excellent,I'm doing my sofas today, and they're very dirty! Just the hack I needed, thanks you.
Did I just watch a clean couch get cleaned lol 🤔🤪
I think so. How does a curved lid clean a flat surface. How??? How is the centre under the lid clean anything?? No sense..sorry..
@@karenlegebokoff6969 it's the edges of the pan that make the most contact with the cushions doing the scrubbing with help of the microfiber cloth. The circular shape just makes it cover surface area more smoothly and quickly, as well as easily hover over the convex shapes of couch cushions. That's why there is a faint ring of dust on the cloth when she removes it from the pot lid but you have to look closely.
