A fed up woman stopped cleaning the house to prove to her lazy husband she did all the work.

I stopped cleaning to teach my husband a lesson

An anonymous woman caused her husband to blow a gasket after she stopped cleaning her house to see how he’d react. A video detailing her sweeping reform has amassed over 7.4 million views as viewers urge her to divorce the unnamed guy, reports the New York Post.

In the video, the embattled woman — who posts handy cleaning tutorials under the name @MrsMessyTikTok — described how she “stopped cleaning the house and putting away clean laundry” a month ago. The modern-day Cinderella said she wanted to “prove to my husband that I was the only one doing everything this whole time,” per the clip.

In a series of prior clips with millions of views, she described how her selfish beau had dubbed her “lazy” and accused her of “never doing anything around the house” despite the fact she cleans and pays all the bills.

Go figure: The fed-up neatnick’s social experiment caused the house to rapidly deteriorate into a pig sty. Accompanying footage in the initial clip depicts mountains of dirty laundry and snack bags strewn about the hallway like something out of the show “Hoarders.”

Needless to say, the TikTokker’s domestic war of attrition didn’t sit well with her slothful soulmate, who reportedly “freaked out and started throwing away my cleaning supplies.”

“He said I won’t need it since I don’t clean anymore,” read the clip’s caption.

In fact, the manchild was reportedly so disturbed by her mopping moratorium that he “went to Europe for three weeks to visit his mommy [sic],” per a subsequent clip with nearly 800,000 views.

“I’m the happiest person ever,” intoned the relieved woman, adding that she enjoyed “being in a peaceful and quiet home.”

The scorned wife’s anti-cleaning campaign quickly struck a chord on TikTok with fans encouraging her to kick the layabout to the kerb.

“You said it yourself ‘Started throwing away YOUR cleaning supplies,’” observed one ride-or-die commenter. “They should have been both of yours right from the start. I recommend SINGLE.”

“Your ex-husband did what?” wrote another.

One supporter prescribed, “For the love of God, I’ve seen all of her videos and PLEASE just divorce him, the red flags cant get any redder.”

It’s yet unclear if she decided to toss Mr. Unclean in the proverbial dustbin.
