My easy patio furniture cleaning trick needs something you already have at home – people don’t expect it to work so well
A WOMAN has shared the handy cleaning hack she uses to freshen up her patio furniture.
The content creator demonstrated how she cleans her outdoor cushions using a household item.
TikTok user Abigail (@_abigailmiller) explained that her mother recommended the hack to her.
The TikToker filmed the process as she tried it out for the first time on her patio furniture cushions.
She showed her followers the once-white cushions that were covered in dirt marks from her dogs.
“I have some couch cushions that are absolutely filthy and my mom told me that she learned that if you use regular men’s shave cream on the couch cushions it will clean them,” Abigail told viewers.
The influencer revealed that she had purchased six bottles of shaving cream from Dollar Tree in order to test out the hack.
“I have four cushions and then a bunch of pillow backs,” Abigail said as she lined them all up against her car.
“We’re going to spray these down and see if this works,” she explained to her followers.
The TikToker then showed her audience her cushions as they soaked up the shaving cream.
“I let it set in for a while and then I used a scrub brush and scrubbed it really hard to loosen up the dirt,” Abigail said.
She angled her garden hose at the cushions and began to spray each one to see if it the cleaning tip worked.
“Now I’m going to rinse it down to see if this dirt really comes off or not,” the content creator said.
As she began hosing down her couch cushions, Abigail told her followers: “I’ve got to admit, I don’t have high hopes.”
However, the end result proved to be promising as the dirt immediately began to lift from the fabric.
Abigail showed her viewers the cushions after she had dried them out for 24 hours and returned them to her patio couch.
TikTok users took to the comments section to share their thoughts on the hack.
“This also works on a bathroom floor to remove when boys/men “miss”. Removes stain and smell,” recommended one follower.
Another impressed viewer said: “Wow they look great going to have to try this.”
“Right! Mine do not come off either, most do not. I’m going to try the shaving cream hack!” commented a third person.
