A woman has gone viral with a horrifying video showing her washing her husband's pillows for the first time in five years.
The American woman, identified only as Lexi, shared a TikTok, of her soaking her husband's pillows in her bathtub with her 51,400 followers.
Fans watched in horror as the bath water in which Lexi had soaked the pillows turned darker and darker, reaching a unappetizing blackish color after 24 hours - and revealing just how much dirt was in the cream-colored pillows.

The pillows were so dirty and stained that one of Lexi's fans said they confused them with sacks of potatoes
Viewers compared the pillows to potato sacks and Titanic life preservers, and some 'gasped' when Lexi revealed the pillows were originally white, and not brown like many had assumed.
'Stripping my husband's favorite pillow after five years,' Lexi wrote with the video.
In the clip, which received more than 4 million likes on the social media platform, Lexi filmed the two pillows which she had placed in water in her bathtub.
