Mrs Hinch fan says B&M tool is 'best' £2 she's ever spent as it removes hidden dirt

Mrs Hinch, or Sophie Hinchliffe, rose to fame in 2018 after going viral just three months after starting an Instagram where she recommended cleaning products.

The mum-of-two from Essex now boasts over 4.6 million followers on the app, and her Hinch Army rely on her to recommend cleaning products for them to buy.

Since her rise to fame, fans of the cleaning guru have started a Facebook page where they recommend other clever finds to each other.

Taking to the Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips page, one cleaning fan shared "the best £2" she's ever spent, and other commenters said they "needed one" too.

The woman posted a picture of the Drain Grime Removing Brush from B&M, which she purchased for just £2 – but she didn't use it for what it was intended.

Instead, she showed a picture of her radiator with lots of dust piled at the bottom of it. She called the product "amazing", as she used it to get rid of the dust and fluff from inside the radiator.

People were amazed by the results in the comment section, with several people asking where she bought the product, and saying they "needed it".

One person said: "I have tried the hoover and a hair dryer but not getting much of luck. Definitely will give a try to this brush."

Some people also explained that they used theirs for other things too – such as cleaning under the fridge/freezer and washing machine.

One person commented that they regularly used a hairdryer to get rid of the fluff from inside their radiator, a trick which we have shared before.

In the same group, Mrs Hinch fans came to the rescue of a B&B owner who had a problem with stained towels.

In the comments, many people suggested trying Napisan, a household staple that can be bought from Wilko for just £3.20, which keeps towels looking brighter and stain-free.

Another cleaning fan recommended trying soda crystals in addition to your usual detergent and Napisan.

Elsewhere someone was having trouble with their wooden table being stained from glasses. On the group many people suggested trying a popular condiment – mayonnaise.

It turns out mayo can oust stains completely because of its oily properties.
