There’s no shortage of innovative cleaning hacks involving unlikely items here in the SDC. From shaving creams that’ll leave your toilet odour-free to removing rust with tomato sauce, you’ll never guess what other common household items are surprisingly handy for cleaning!

This time around, it’s massage guns– yes, you read that correctly. If you thought they were only meant for easing muscle pain, then you’re in for a ride, because apparently, they can be used to clean car carpets effortlessly as well!


One TikTok user, Lanie, shared a video of her demonstrating how insanely effective massage guns are at lifting up hidden dirt and sand trapped in car floor carpets.

Lanie can be seen using the massage gun and holding a vacuum directly next to it to suck up the trapped dirt and sand exposed by the machine’s rapid and strong vibrations.


What’s even more shocking is that the car carpet had already been vacuumed by Lanie before she even reached for the massage gun. The amount of dirt lurking that we’re completely oblivious to is a little scary, isn’t it?

“Vacuum first then use this so we can see how much extra dirt appears!" a viewer suggested.

To which Lanie replied: "That's what we did,"


Her video amassed 13.8 million views in only five days, blowing the minds of TikTok users with the unusual cleaning tool.

“It’s crazy how much dirt vacuums leave behind!” one user pointed out.

“Wait, I didn't know they could be used for that! I should have grabbed one of those while they were on clearance…” another commented.

“I tried this and it really works. I am so shocked!” wrote a third.

Several others found the cleaning video satisfying to watch, with a fourth saying: “It looks so satisfying.”

“Honestly, I’m just here because it’s really satisfying to watch.” another chimed in.

So, if you’ve got a massage gun that’s just lying around and you’re looking to give your car carpets a thorough cleaning, grab a vacuum and what Lanie used as an attachment that’s called a ‘fork’, and let the machine gun do its magic!
