A Chinese woman was left unsure if she should cry or laugh after finding her two-year-old daughter had taken her husband’s complaint that his laptop had ‘too much rubbish’ on it literally and washed it with soap and water.

A video of the incident taken by the mother from Shandong in eastern China, shows the computer sitting in a wash basin filled with water and white foam as a blue bath ball floats above the keyboard.

Tap water can be seen pouring into the basin as the young girl, nicknamed Duomi, catches the water and opens her hands in front of her face to see if they are clean.

The unidentified mother said she saw what her daughter was doing when she came home last week at a time when her daughter would usually be having an afternoon nap at home, the Jinan Times reported.

“Her father was asleep and snoring loudly. I heard someone was doing something in our bathroom,” she said. “I entered the bathroom and saw what my daughter was doing. I almost died from anger.”

The 2-year-old overheard her dad’s complaints and while he was asleep and later that day she ‘washed’ his US$1,200 laptop for him as a favour. Photo: Douyin

“It’s because my husband complained at breakfast that there was too much rubbish on his computer. So our daughter decided to help clean it for him.”
