Viral Mattress Cleaning Hack: Can Toothpaste and an Iron Really Erase Stains?
A recent viral cleaning hack, featured on BBC's 'Sort Your Life Out,' claims to offer a surprisingly effective solution for stubborn mattress stains using common household ingredients. The method, demonstrated by a presenter wearing yellow gloves, involves creating a paste from toothpaste, laundry detergent, and bicarbonate soda. This mixture is then applied to a cloth, which is wrapped around a hot iron and pressed onto the stained area of the mattress. "I've seen a hack online which I am desperate to try, and this is to remove stains from mattresses," the presenter explained at the beginning of the segment. The video then shows the process, highlighting a visible brown stain on a mattress before the application of the iron-wrapped cloth. As the iron is moved over the stain, it visibly diminishes. "Look at that! It is just disappearing before our eyes. Can you believe what you are seeing?" the presenter exclaimed, showcasing the seemingly clean mattress. The hack has garnered significant attention online, with many viewers expressing both skepticism and eagerness to try the method themselves. While the video presents a compelling visual, some online comments question the long-term effectiveness or potential for residue.
