To be more precise, prepare a bucket first. Then put a dirty kitchen cloth in it. Once done, pour in dish soap and vinegar. In the video, TikTok user @casalokha also added citric acid to the bucket containing the dirty kitchen cloth.
After all the cleaning ingredients are put in, pour hot water until the kitchen cloth is completely submerged. Then stir until all the ingredients are dissolved and absorbed into the fabric fibers. If so, soak the kitchen cloth for approximately 2 hours or until the water is completely cold.
