With Christmas coming, it is time to decorate your Christmas trees. Now, the tradition states that we should get a new tree. But most people prefer using an artificial one as it is reusable. A TikTok user shared her routine of washing the Christmas tree but received negative feedback from Netizens.

A woman’s unpopular opinion about the X-mas tree was expressed in a video that went viral on TikTok, just as others were likely preparing for the festival festivities. She said this, causing other users on the network to respond. Then, she made note of the fact that she uses a bathtub to wash the artificial tree. She immediately responded that those who didn’t agree with her advised her to get help for her actions.
The woman, identified by her social media as Rhema, wrote, “Clean my Christmas tree with me,” as the title for her TikTok video. It was then shared by an X (formerly known as Twitter) user, ‘LJ’. In the video, she was shown setting the tree in the bathtub, giving it a spritz of soapy water, and then washing it. Rhema dismantled it so it would appear clean and new.
Though washing an artificial Christmas tree and reusing it is not a bad thing, people reacted with a big “no-no”. In fact, several people criticised her for washing the tree in the bathtub!
The user who shared this video on X (formerly, Twitter) wrote the caption that she thinks people clean just to make others feel dirty.

A user commented that she hates those who take part in the online clean Olympics.
If I was insane I’d probably just take it to a car wash and not do all this, no way she didn’t make a mess of her bathroom

Another user wrote that if it was him doing this crazy thing, he would take it to the car wash instead of making a mess in the bathroom.
Technically she’s not wrong. My christmas tree is stored in a cardboard box in a garage which is not airtight. Bugs can get inside too, let alone dirt.

However, a user supports the lady and states that she is not wrong in doing this. Further, the user shared her experience and wrote that even though her Christmas tree is kept in an airtight cardboard box, but bugs and dirt can get inside.
This is all part of “clean tok” it’s a whole ass thing apparently

At some point the benefit of living with the dirt is greater than the benefit of cleaning. Like, I can’t imagine needing to do this.

Cleaning a real tree actually makes sense but cleaning a fake one just seems pointless
— Jamir Valentine (@jamirvalentine) November 28, 2023
According to a user, you do this when you’re bored and have nothing better to do.
Yeah you do this if you bored with nothing better to do for sure
— Chandan Brown (@ChandanBrown) November 28, 2023
However, a user asked if there is another video which shows how to clean real trees as he can’t get his tree in the tub.
I kinda agree with her?
A reused boxed tree gets kinda dusty if you keep it up for a whole month
— Cheer Poasting 🍀🤗👒 (@cheerpoasting) November 28, 2023
A user agreed with the lady and stated that if you leave a repurposed boxed tree up for a whole month, it becomes somewhat dusty.
This actually makes sense. Especially if you had the tree for a long time
— Original Doll (@driaspears) November 28, 2023
Another user supported her by stating that it makes sense, particularly if you’ve had the tree for a long period.
Personally, I don’t feel it is wrong to reuse the same tree and not buy a new one as it reduces waste generation. Also, there is nothing wrong in cleaning it in the tub, as long as the tub is cleaned too.
