A cleaning enthusiast was shocked when she learned how to get more soap out of her scrub brush.
Although she was pleasantly surprised by the cleaning hack, it proved to be controversial among her viewers.
Cassandra (@kcdeighan) shared what she learned in a TikTok video.
She was responding to a woman’s video demonstration revealing the method.
“You guys! I’m just amazed! All these years I’ve been using this and I never knew about this!” she said.
The woman held up her beloved cleaning brush, worn from years of use.
She squeezed the brush and pulled out a round piece in the middle, revealing the secret to escaping soap from the household tool.
Cassandra couldn’t resist looking at her own cleaning brush to satisfy her curiosity.
In her kitchen, to her disbelief, she pulled out the sponge cork from her brush.
She was in disbelief when she found the sponge hack now, despite years of cleaning.
“Years old today,” she admitted.
Although the discovery was revolutionary for her, reactions were mixed.
Some thought the trick could change the way they clean.
“No wonder mine doesn’t work,” said one commenter.
“Walks straight into the kitchen and takes mine out. I’m shocked. Embarrassed. Shaking,” said another.
Some thought the hack wasn’t all it was cracked up to be.
“That’s true, but you go through soap so much faster,” said one viewer.
“No, because it uses too much soap and is wasteful,” said another.
Cassandra was shocked by the controversy the trick had caused.
“Do people really argue about sponges and soap?” she said.
