Testing Viral Couch Clean🤔(Does it Work?)  

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 hack..don't use soap to clean carpet or furniture..the professionals don't use it for that reason and the residue build up

You didnt use fabric conditioner ​@@handycoco8456

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?? 😬

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

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.

100% agree with you

Thanks for the tip👌

Thank you 😊

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" 😂

Thank you

Thank you for the tip👍

So much work for very little results.. and left my couch feeling very rough

100% you right!

Thank you for the tip.. I've looked all over my couch, and i can't find the tag anywhere.

Great tip!

Not to mention vinegar and baking soda neutralize each other one of the worst cleaning myths and my pet peeve 😤 😑 🙄

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!

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

Glad it worked for you. For me, it was do much work for very little results

It a Dyson V11. I have lots of videos on it. Have a look at my channel😊

Its called Dreams 😊 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8Ps9fSF4qcQ.html

Yeah it's a lot of work for minimal results in my opinion 😅

Cool! might just give it a try😀👍

​@@handycoco8456 There you go. Fkin up another couch 😑

🤣🤣🤣

Note: only a surface cleaner

Do not do this

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

😎

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

I'm not sure. The video I based it off of was done on a couch.

Love that!

That's great!

Thank you for that info. Glad you know what I mean😁

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

Awesome I'll check it out👌thank you

It's hard to see that it is really not clean on camera

Exactly! that's why this didn't work👌

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.

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💪

100%

Thanks for watching

Good luck. I hope it works for you.

Thank you for watching🙂

🤣

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!

100% agree

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'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

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!

Yeah for the day it did

It makes it smell better for a few days and that's it..

100%

It's a lot of work for little result.. that's why I don't recommend it👍

100% agree

I haven't seen a video with the baking soda? I won't do it again though.. but thanks for watching 🙏😀

I'll get one😉

No it didn't clean the couch, just made it smell good for a day or two

💚

It work maybe 20%, and also left the couch feeling rough

Hahaha I have two kids as well. I can assure you things in my house don't stay clean past a few days🤣

You could probably do so.. lemme know how it goes if you do?

Trust me this process took about 3 hours and that's excluding the actual cushions. It's hard to show it in a RU-vid short which is limited to 60sec

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 😁👍🏼

I can assure you the couch is far from clean.. have two kids, and it's always dirty.

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.

🤣🤣🤣 glad someone noticed

Thanks for watching

This is the goal🤣

It's a laundry detergent pod, not shampoo.

Thanks for watching 😀

What's the product?

Thanks for watching

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!

🤣🤣🤣
