- First, vacuum or brush off any lose dirt from your couch
- Place one dishwasher tablet in a bowl of boiling water until it dissolves
- Soak your microfiber cloth in the water, and squeeze out any excess
- Spread the cloth flat, place your saucepan lid in the center and wrap the cloth around it, tying the ends to the lid handle
- Hold onto the lid of the saucepan and scrub the cloth over the surface of the sofa
At the end of the video, AJ shows the difference between the half of the sofa she cleaned and the area she had left, with the clean side of the sofa noticeably stain-free in comparison.
The TikTok has been liked and shared thousands of times, with many users praising AJ's hack - which she credits to Aesthetically In Home. One commenter wrote under the video, "I did this the other day 🔥 sooo good," while another said, "Wow looks so much better".
Not all reaction was positive, however, with some users pointing out that the solution may leave a chemical residue on the sofa if not rinsed off. If you want to give this hack a go it might be a good idea to check the ingredients in your dishwasher tablets and test out the method on a small section before trying it out on the whole couch.
