There are life hacks on the internet that come in pretty handy, but there are also some that are difficult to make sense of.
A woman has revealed that she washes her green vegetables in her washing machine. The video, which was posted on TikTok, has left people unimpressed.
“Wash your greens,” TikToker Ashley Echols captioned the bizarre video, adding the hashtags #lifehack #harvest #kale #allclean #vinegar.
“It’s just an idea I had,” she quipped in the comments, adding she plans to juice them.
In the 11-second video, Echols points the camera into the washing machine showing it filled with green vegetables. She was then seen pressing a delicate button and starting a 55-minute cycle on the machine.
The video then cut to when the cycle was over, showing her lifting the lid to reveal her freshly washed veggies.
People left grossed at ‘life hack’
Many people were grossed by the ‘life hack’ and took to the comments section to share their thoughts.
“Think about all the dirty clothes that been in there,” one user commented. “The greens could damage the machine. Also you could be transferring bacteria to your produce,” another user said. “My grandma Martha did this and we got food poisoning for WEEKS. I stopped eating green vegetables, a third user added. “There’s a lot of residual soap left in washers. Sometimes if you run it empty and it bubbles up a ton. Just be safe,” another user advised.
In 2020, a person in South Korea put banknotes in a washing machine to wash off possible traces of coronavirus. Officials believed that the loss was considerable.
The person from Ansan city, near Seoul, placed an unspecified amount of 50,000-won ($42) bills in a washing machine some time ago. Most of the notes were seriously damaged and the person reached out to the Bank of Korea to find out whether they could be exchanged for new bills.
