Another surprising use for a massage gun

Massage guns have become hugely popular gadgets over the past couple of years. Not only do they ease aches and pains at home, but they are also being used in an unlikely cleaning hack.

American woman, Lanie, posted a video on Tiktok showing how effective massage guns are at lifting up hidden dirt and sand in car floor carpets.

The video of the strange hack has quickly gone viral with a massive 12.8 million views in just three days. You can watch the TikTok in the video above.

"Thought this was cool," Lanie captioned the clip.

In the video, you can see big piles of dirt exposed by the massage gun vibrations before being sucked up by a vacuum. It's one of those TikTok cleaning clips that is as satisfying to watch, as it is scary to see truly how much dirt is lurking where we don't see it.

What makes the hack even more shocking is that Lanie revealed in the comments the car carpet had been vacuumed before using the massage gun.

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

To try the hack you’re going to need a massage gun with an attachment known as a fork, and a vacuum cleaner.

All you need to do is touch the car floor with the massage gun so the vibrations it produces can lift out the hidden dirt. As you move the massage gun around the floor, you'll need to follow it with a vacuum.

Tiktok users were blown away by the hack and surprising alternative use for the massage gun.
