TikTok cleaning videos, they should be banned

Not general cleaning, I'm talking about this kind of thing

vm.tiktok.com/ZMRtQ9J2f/

Mixing 5 or 6 different coloured liquid beaches in the toilet, adding floor cleaner, disinfectant, wash powder, bleach powder, washing up liquid, fablosa spray, zoflora etc.

A woman died in August by mixing just two cleaning products which caused her to have a fatal asthma attack, and she wasn't filming silly videos just cleaning her bathroom.

TikTok is full of it, so many accounts doing the same thing and you can hear small children in the background of some of these videos.

AIBU?

God, I'm glad I don't have a tik tok account.

Imagine aliens watched tik tok and used it to study human kind.

Telling people to mix different chemicals together, and possibly encouraging them to experiment with other chemical solution mixtures, is dangerous. Tik Tok is a menace.

Another one mixing bleach with two different harpic toilet cleaners.

She wrote in the info bar that it produced a chemical reaction and she couldn't finish the sink, had to open all of the windows and her house stank for hours.

Well, no shit it would do 😫

[quote roopy770]I’d say YABU but only because there are much worse things on TT that should be banned before that. I can’t link to the extreme examples that have resulted in losses of lives or permanent disfigurements, but even stupid shit like this:

That video is terrible. On the YouTube comments somebody mentioned the dad around 5:20 who dragged his son back to splash more water on him.

Why do some people have kids, I do not know. I get having fun and messing with them but too many of these go too far and are just immature and stupid.

DrHildegardeLanstrom · 26/09/2021 19:08

OMG that first video!! To be honest I'm still
wondering when she will get around to cleaning the bloody thing

They really should have a disclaimer because as much as I love cleaning and tidying, I actually didn't know your not supposed to mix things. I would've been one of the dummies who gassed myself if not for my boyfriend

What in the world is that?! Is there some sort of toilet-cleaning-product fetish I am unaware of? I guess they do say that whatever you can imagine, it's someone bizarre fetish...

Sparklesocks · 26/09/2021 19:21

Honestly that video you linked is so OTT it wouldn’t surprise me if it was some sort of performance art or fetish thing. There’s all sorts on tiktok. I agree that there are a lot of misleading videos where people mix products they shouldn’t doing tutorials or whatever - but that particular account is so OTT I don’t think anyone would emulate it.

liddlelambsydivey · 26/09/2021 19:24

I mean, surely that wouldn't even flush down the toilet. It was packed with mostly powders... I skipped to the end just to see what would happen, but it never showed her flushing, so I have to assume it wasn't ever actually flushed. Either that or the whole thing was fake (not a real, hooked-up, functioning toilet).

Some people are very, very weird.

RiotAtTheRodeo · 26/09/2021 19:25

But what the hell happened when she tried to flush the toilet with that chemical weapon in it up to the brim??

It always explains all the people on here without toilet brushes putting their hands in to clean the bowl
DoctorSnortles · 26/09/2021 23:22

That’s not actually cleaning, is it? It’s just putting heaps of chemical shit into the toilet.

Sickening, really, when we’re all so worried about the environment.
