Mum horrified by filth removed with Kmart item: 'Next level gross'
She wasn't expecting this.
A mum got more than she bargained for when she took her new Kmart Spot Cleaner out for a spin. The nifty household item costs just $99, but she was amazed at the amount of gunk living in her sofa.
Sharing a snap of the filth sucked out of her couch on a popular Kmart Facebook group, the mum declared her furniture was “putrid”.
“Finally got my hands on the Kmart Spot Cleaner. Wanted one so I could clean my car but thought I would have a play with it on my couch. OMG,” she wrote.
“I have only done one seat of my three-seater and this is the outcome so far. Can’t believe I’ve been sitting on this putrid couch,” she added. “There’s been a lot of drinks and food spilt on [the couch]. I have a two-year-old. Plus the couch is about six years old and I’ve never cleaned it before.”

The dirty liquid was a dark brown, with one person saying it looked like “coffee” while the shopper compared it to a “chocolate milkshake with way too much chocolate topping in it”.
The mum also shared some handy tips and tricks for using the spot cleaner, telling other Kmart fans she used Britex Upholstery Cleaner from Bunnings in the device.
“I bought this stuff from Bunnings. Low foaming. I used the directions on the back of the bottle which is four caps full, then filled hot water from the tap to the line on the spot cleaner,” she said.

“I did our couch with our recently purchased Bissell and it was the same! I was just as mortified as you! Will be getting regular cleans from now on!!” another exclaimed.

“This is so gross, but so satisfying at the same time. Now I’m scared to use mine,” another remarked.
