I tried a viral carpet cleaning trick with a Walmart buy – it works wonders, people say their grandmas swore by it
A CLEANING pro revived an old-school hack that will make your carpet look brand new.
The only thing you need is water, soap, and an affordable purchase from Walmart.
TikToker Jessy Luna (@thejessyluna) said she “had” to try the viral carpet cleaning trick.
“I tried the mopping carpet hack,” she wrote at the beginning of her video.
Jessy poured floor cleaning into her easy wring spin mop and bucket.
Walmart sells an O-Cedar bucket system for $28.
Jessy wrings the mop out and then pushes the damp microfiber head on the rug.
The technique creates vacuum lines without vacuuming.
At the end of her cleaning session, Jessy dumped her mop water — which had turned brown — into the tub.
Jessy’s video garnered more than 3.8 million views and generated more than 920 comments from viewers.
Many people said her hack was a popular carpet cleaning technique in the ’90s.
“This is nothing NEW we were doing this in the ’90s and sweeping the carpet cuz we had no vacuum,” one person said.
Others said it was an old family secret.
“My grandma always mopped her carpet,” a second wrote.
“My husband’s 99-year-old grandma does this and I thought it was crazy at first but it works,” a third posted.
“My mother-in-law has been doing this for 70 years,” a fourth added.
