Mrs Hinch started the trend of budget cleaning tips, but now folks on social media are sharing their own ideas for a tidy house, and they’re just as good.

In her video, Kerrie said: “I know what you’re thinking, but hear me out. For a quick and easy washing machine clean. Cut a lemon in half, add toothpaste, and throw in your washing machine to rid odors and leave your washing machine absolutely sparkling.”
