Gabriela Harris (@gabriela.harrisfam) filmed herself demonstrating the tip in a viral video on TikTok.
She used ingredients found in most kitchens to eliminate unwanted plants from cluttering her lawn.
Harris added that the spray works fast, yielding results in just a couple hours.
It also nixes the need to go out and purchase weed-killing agents with potentially noxious ingredients.
JUST SPRAY IT
First, Harris filmed her lawn, which was clearly struggling with weeds.
She mixed white vinegar, salt, and Dawn dish soap in a spray bottle to tackle the problem.
"This is a more natural solution for your pets and your family," she said.
She instructed viewers to spray the mixture liberally from the top to the bottom of the weeds.

She had the proof to back up her claims, showing clips of her yard before and after.

She also had extra advice to keep in mind when doing the hack at home.
"Do this in a sunny day," she advised those looking to try the tip on their lawns.
"No wind, no rain. The water will wash it off — no good.
"Spray the weeds from top to bottom, well-saturated."
CROWD PLEASER

How to get rid of weeds
Tony Williams is the Estate Manager at Mount Ephraim Country House & Gardens in the UK.
He revealed to The U.S. Sun the best organic remedies for getting rid of weeds.
Two ingredient mix: "Mix four liters of vinegar, 250 grams of salt, and a tablespoon of soap for a potent weed killer," he said.
Lemon juice: “Whether freshly squeezed or from a bottle, lemon juice is a simple, natural herbicide," he revealed.
Boiling water: "Pouring boiling water on weeds can kill them instantly without harming nearby plants,” he said.
Diluted rubbing alcohol: “Spray this solution on weeds to induce water loss and effectively kill them," he said.
Hand-picking: “Focus on removing them early, especially notorious ones like dandelions, to prevent seeds from scattering,” he said.
