If you are somebody who really enjoys salad, you probably have a salad spinner somewhere in your kitchen. It’s a great way to ensure that you are getting most of the water off of the lettuce after you wash it.

There are always ways to get around this, such as laying out the lettuce on a paper towel after you wash it but that just takes too long. In addition, what do you do if you really love salad and your salad spinner just isn’t sufficient for the job?

That is where @ashleyechols777 comes in. As a TikTok enthusiast, she is often sharing things that she hopes others will appreciate. This includes a few life hacks, such as the one that she shared with her method of cleaning salad greens.

The video, which has racked up well over 400,000 views, carried the simple caption: “Wash your greens.”

In the comments, she said that it was just an idea she had. She wanted to wash the greens but she was going to use them for juicing.

The video then shows a washing machine filled with greens and she pushes the start button. Suddenly, the greens are being scrubbed clean and then the spin cycle makes sure that they are dried properly.

The video is only 11 seconds long but it is long enough to show us that you use the delicate cycle for 55 minutes. It would also be a good idea to only use cold water, but that goes without saying

Although there were some who were happy with this hack, there were others who commented with a warning. These include people who claim that they tried it and got food poisoning.

In the end, it is really up to the user to decide if something is a good idea or not. Just be cautious that you’re not transferring bacteria or soap residue to the lettuce that could make you sick.
