A MOTHER has shared an urgent warning to parents after a treat for her child ended up in a total disaster.
Summer Capehorn, a mum from the UK, bought her son a foaming soap from Primark, but was left close to tears when he squirted it all over their lounge.
Not only was soap everywhere, but it even ruined her rug too, leaving her fuming.
Eager to alert others to the cheap buy which caused Summer a huge headache, the content creator took to social media and shared a close-up look at the mess of her living room.
She confirmed that she bought her son the Kids Stuff Crazy Foaming Blue Soap, which is available to buy from Primark, as well as Asda, Boots and Sainsbury’s, from just £1.80.
But rather than being used in the bathroom, the blue foaming soap was plastered all over her sofa, rug and carpet, leaving a shocking mess.

Clearly in disbelief, Summer said: “I actually can’t breathe – you know next time one of my kids says, ‘oh mum, can I have that?’ No. The answer is gonna be no.”
Sharing her warning so others don’t make the same mistake, Summer added: “If you go to Primark – mums, girls, dads – don’t buy this. Do not buy this.”
Showing off the “crazy” soap, which is said to be ‘mild & gentle, hypoallergenic and dermatologically tested,’ the frustrated mum continued: “I don’t understand how they can sell things like this saying ‘mild and gentle’ – it’s bleaching, that is bleaching the sofa cover.”
Giving viewers a look at the disastrous scene of her home, she fumed: “It is everywhere, everywhere – on the carpet, on the rug.”
Unsure on where to begin with the cleaning-up process, Summer explained that she was going to “have a little cry.”
She recognised her desire to “gather her thoughts” and acknowledged that it would be a “late one” for her.
She acknowledged: “I fully do not know where to start – I don’t even know how he got hold of it, I bought it today.”
While Summer recognised that she would be throwing her rug “straight in the bin,” she desperately asked others for “tips on how to get this out of the carpet.”
Social media users react
Summer’s TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @rosiesum24, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 31,300 views in just one day.
Social media users were stunned by Summer’s soap disaster and many eagerly flocked to the comments to express this.
I’ve made this mistake too many times with this stuff. Luckily only ever had to chuck bath mats and towels

One person said: “Ohh I’d cry that’s why it’s only allowed in my bathroom.”
Another added: “I’d have left the house I’d be fuming.”
Ria Mitchell, who once admitted to spending £8,000 in Primark in a just one year has fallen out of love with the iconic high street retailer.
She told Fabulous why she no longer visits her local store every Saturday.
“I never go there,” says the 28-year-old from Guildford, Surrey.
“It’s mad charging £50 for a coat. Primark shoppers want bargains.
“They don’t want to be charged £50 for a coat or a fancy cardigan. That was always the best thing about it.
“But now it’s so expensive, why would I go there?
“Just look at pictures of my grey coat from three years ago — it was £25. And look now — charging £50 for a coat is silly. Pri-flation is real.”
Primark’s ethos has always been affordability, from essentials to standout pieces.
The reason it has continued to buck the trend for failing high street stores is because it has kept its prices low.
Twenty years ago, you could always get an entire outfit there for under £30. Fast-forward to now, and we’re in the midst of a cost-of-living crisis and are still after the same thing. In fact, we want more.
A third commented: “You are so calm I would be on the phone to my mum crying.”
At the same time, one user claimed: “This stuff stained my bath!”
Meanwhile, someone else chimed in: “I’ve made this mistake too many times with this stuff. Luckily only ever had to chuck bath mats and towels, praying for you with this one.”
