Clean your Couch and Carpets easily in minutes with a pot lid 

No stain before and no stain after. This really works! 😆

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.

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.

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.

Wow - scrubbing a perfectly clean couch and it comes up like new!

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!

What a breath of fresh air to have instruction without all the talking.

Water, Baking soda, dishwashing soap, a pan lid, a microfiber towel and some elbow grease. Ingenious. Thank you for this tip for 2023.

I don't care what anyone says. You're a genius! I'm sharing this with my family. Thank you !

This is great thank you! The only thing I would add is to be sure to vacuum throughly first, adding water to loose dirt makes mud so get as much out with the vacuum as you can first.

Everything seems so clean before it's washed

•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 like how you did the video. It is kind of like asmr and it makes you WANT to clean!! Satisfying! Why do people make such rude comments?

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.♥️

Just did it! The difference is huge. I can't say that it took out all the dirt, but it most definitely looks much cleaner and fresher. Thank you.

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.

Im in Atlanta, GA, Fulton county, in the USA. I sure do appreciate you for making this video and sharing this with the world!

Step 2 - do the same with only water. That should complete the process as it will remove most soap particles. And then let it dry.

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 ✅

Thank you very much. This works. I tried on my stained sofa and all the dirt and stains disappeared. Am happy. Thank you again.

The video I didn’t even know I needed. I was looking for organizing videos. 👍🏼✨ Great tip!

I just use old, clean socks, spray them with vinegar and/or diluted clothes detergent, place it over my hand, and wipe/scrub. It's much faster.

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.

9/10 like this tip. Easy and have these on hand so tried it right away. I like short easy cleaning tips. Thanks

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 😉

Wow you got a perfectly clean couch, well, clean

Fantastic carpet cleaning hack! Definitely going to try this on our hallway carpet. Sending love and warm greetings from Missouri.

It works just tried on my carpet and chairs. Thanks for the tip

That dish soap is going to act as a magnet for dirt once it dries.

Watching this to fall sleep. It has ASMR effect on me. Thank you. Stay Blessed Always

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

Very awesome you cleaned the clean couch and cleaned some clean carpet With very little effort. Very impressive

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

Love the Carpet/upholstery cleaning tip 10/10 from Dublin Ireland👍

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 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 is awesome, it obviously works very well - thank you for sharing!! 💖

Unintentional ASMR . Love the sounds . Thank you ❤

Bless you for sharing your techniques with everyone.

The sound of peace in your home is so peaceful ✨

This really works. I cleaned them last week and the house smelled amazing.

Wow! Interesting way to clean the sofa. Thank you.😊

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!

One of the silliest things I've ever seen!

I agree with Brendan on this one. If you start with something clean, your going to end up with something clean. Come on!!!

Great idea and a compilation of ideas and explanations in the comments ta complements this very well. Many ideas added to improve rhe task and can be suited to particular needs and situations. Short, quiet clear video...good job...from the philippines...I can use this on the car ceiling too!!!

Yes, tried this after 1st video; good surface cleaner! Namaste...California

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!

It works nice because it gives you a handle and a large surface area of scrubber. I think it’s great ! 👍

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!

W O W !!! that's outrageously ingenious! TY! Well done, YOU !!! 👍🤹💯🖖

Seriously educational! Thank you!

Thank You 💞 I'll give it a trial

Thanks so much, as this is such a great little trick using a pan lid as a way to apply the cleansers. This looks like it gives you more control over what is being cleaned and it covers a greater amount of the area being cleaned. Will definitely try this cleaning hack.😊👍🏻 From Kentucky, USA

Tried and was happy with the results.

I am definitely going to give this a go. Thanks for the tip.

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 :)

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.

This s the best video for cleaning sofas . Thank you 🙏

I'll never understand some people's train of thought. Thank you for the laughs.

Thank you from Antwerp, Belgium

4:12 This is the best cleaning tip ever! 😀I couldn't believe how well it worked and easy! 😀😀😀 Thanks for sharing. 10/10.

I love this idea of using a pot lid to get better coverage and easier on the wrist. ❤

Hi. I’m River from Canada living now in South Africa. Sawubona !

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

This literally could have been a 1-2 minute video

Thanks for sharing this wonderful easy and simple tips to clean sofa, bed etc

I mean, your couch was super clean to begin with lol But I am trying this right now, thank you!

I used shaving foam with sponge and the results are unbelievable.

easy to clean what’s already clean

Good to know thank you. Elaine from the UK

Excellent idea! Definitely a 10✴

That's actually a brilliant idea and one that most people should already have the supplies for. Thanks for the tip!

I love how she flips it over to show us the nothing it cleaned 😂

Thank you for the video I'm 88 years old and I'm from South Bay California and I am going to try it in the morning it's afternoon right now here winding down them too tired to try it now and I have a recliner chair that I really want to try it on thank you so much okay bye🤩🤩☘☘

Did I just watch a clean couch get cleaned lol 🤔🤪

Sorry, but the couch and carpet looked clean already prior to you using the lid. Not a believer.

I’m soo excited. Now I have novel way of cleaning car seats. Thanks 😊

Thank you . I ll try it . Couldn’t hurt.

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

Im going to try this bc my cream couch has gotten so dirty with my toddler 😞😩 From Queens NY

Oh wow! That would work really well with our Norwex microfiber Cloths!

Thank you for sharing this awesome idea!

Upstate South Carolina. This was almost like an ASMR video. Love it!

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.

I’m trying this tomorrow and will come back with results.

Looks like a good idea!! ❤️ And I live in Texas, US! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

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 should definitely have ASMR in the title 😊

you get a solid 9 I think I will try it, THANKS

Thank you so much sweetheart from England 🤍

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.

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. 🙂

This just solved a major headache 😬 the futon, rug, couch. Thanks

THANK YOU SO MUCH 👍

Would have been nice to see you use fresh rinse water to see the dirt accumulation. Besides it would drive me mad knowing I just squeezed out dirt from the cloth into the soapy cleaning solution- then reusing it on the light colored couch out carpet 😮 yikes!

How do you get the soap out of the couch? I found that any soap even a little left in the fabric will become dirtier later. Unless you rinse out that soap, It will attract more dirt later.

I like this technique very much! Thank you!

Excellent advice. Thank you!

You are cleaning already clean couch
