Who doesn’t like good cleaning hacker? Especially when it comes to household jobs, I am willing to try anything that gives me more time to focus on your family or hobbies.
So when I saw that Hake cleaning On the ticktok to remove stains on your couch, I knew I had to try. Our furniture of this day knocks with a baby at home, and I used a lot of traditional staining methods (dishwashers, soda biking, oxytel, you names). But this method was interesting because calls for washing or washing dishes under a pod.
Hack
In the video @Kate_Cleanhome takes the lid in the pot and wrap it in the dish towel. Then the dishwasher detergent in the dishwasher in a bowl of warm water is placed in the bowl. Once the water is a judicial, wrapped lid is dipped in the mixture and then deleted forward and back on the couch.
The video then shows that the couch disappear. The process seems simple and uses the materials I have already had in hand, so I decided to try and try it to that upholstered furniture.

Test
My couch (miraculously) did not have visible spots, so I decided to try this on my breeding swinging in kindergarten. He had a black spot on the right side I couldn’t treat yet.

I wanted to make a little overwork to increase my chances of good results. I started vacuuming a chair in case there was loose dirt and dust. Then I put my waeled dishes in a bowl and filled it with warm water.

Then I muffled the lid wrapped towel in the soap and I rubbed him on the stain.

After a few peels, the stain began to pale. I let him sit for a few minutes and come back with another towel with wet plain water to get nacticed on a stain and “rinse” any remaining soap. Then I crashed into the stain with a dry towel for absorbing excess water.

Score
The spot on my chair took a while to dry completely, but once he did, the stain looked that he was mostly gone. The fabric also does not feel stiff or adhesive remains, which I am something worried. All in all, Hack seems to be working!

Final thoughts
While this method worked and my chair looks better – I won’t do it anymore. The solution from the dishwasher was subject to too strong to clean simple stains and 1 or 2 tablespoons for dishwashers and water would probably be equally effective.
I didn’t dilute a solution and returned over a stain with clean water, I think the fabric remains soap and the rest.
This hack also doesn’t seem like it would be a great option for a full-cover upholstery. High soap content could ruin the fabric, and the peeling method of wrapped towel does not give you a lot of control over how much liquid for use, leaving you with a wet piece of furniture furniture.
Next time I would abide by simple cloths or sponges so you can easily pull it out and prevent it from becoming excessive wet.
