Diwali is just around the corner, and Indian homes are already in full cleaning mode. Families are dusting, scrubbing, and polishing every corner to prepare for the festival. This year, however, the cleaning craze
isn’t limited to homes; it’s taking over the Internet as well.
Social media is now full of hilarious Diwali safai videos that show the real (and often chaotic) side of festive cleaning. From people washing their beds with a hosepipe to moms turning into CEOs of household cleaning missions, these clips are leaving viewers in stitches. Here’s a look at some of the funniest Diwali safai moments that are taking over Instagram right now.
When The Bed Turned Into A Car
One viral clip has left the Internet in disbelief. It shows a woman cleaning her bed, not with a duster or vacuum, but with a hosepipe. Yes, you read that correctly. She sprays water over the bed as if she’s washing a car, even opening the drawers and filling them with water to scrub them clean.
The comments under the post made the video even more entertaining. One user joked, “Don’t forget to clean the switchboard.”
Another wrote, “This is called a real deep cleaning,” while someone else called her “Gopi Bahu pro max.”

Maa = CEO, Beta = Unpaid Intern
One of the most relatable reels shows a classic mom-and-son duo caught in a Diwali cleaning standoff. When his mother asks for help, the “unemployed” son throws out an outrageous demand: “500 million dollars.” Without missing a beat, she replies, “Dekh bhai, Rs 300 dungi (See brother, I will Rs 300).” He immediately agrees and says “Done!” because honestly, who can argue with mothers and that too during Diwali.
The caption on the video reads, “Every Indian house before Diwali: Maa = CEO, Beta = unpaid intern. Negotiation level: Maa always wins!”
The comments under this video were just as funny. One user asked, “Tumko paisa bhi mil raha hai? (Are you even getting paid?).”
An individual said, “Inflation crying in the corner,” while a person added, “Mujhse to free me karwati hai (She makes me do it for free).”

Bigg Boss-Style Toilet Cleaning Fight
Another trending video puts a dramatic twist on the most avoided household task: cleaning the toilet. In this one, a woman and her brother-in-law argue over who should do it while dubbing over the fight scenes from the popular reality show Bigg Boss.
The caption simply reads, “Toilet saaf kar (Clean the toilet).” The dramatic expressions and voiceover made it look like a proper TV argument, which has left people in splits.

When Moms Just Don’t Stop
One more video captures another funny moment. In it, a son asks his mother to take some rest after her health reports suggest she shouldn’t exert herself. But true to form, the mom refuses to stop cleaning. Despite the warnings, she continues with broom in hand, determined to finish the safai before Diwali.
