It's said that there's no point crying over spilt milk, but what about tea? The much-loved drink is a staple in households across the country, but that doesn't mean anyone wants it splashed over their walls.
Unfortunately, if you've ever stumbled or tripped and sent your mug flying, you'll know just tricky it can be to wipe away the remnants. The good news is Mrs Hinch fans have a simple trick for dealing with the stubborn stains - and it will save you the bother of repainting.
Rather than splashing out on a tin of paint, they recommend investing in a £3 product.
The tried-and-tested method was shared online after one woman took to Facebook seeking advice. Posting to Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips, where lovers of the cleaning sensation swap their best hacks, one person asked: "How to get tea stains off white painted wall?" She also shared a photo of her wall, complete with a large stain she had tried to 'clean off with baby wipe'.
Thankfully, she soon found a solution, as she revealed when thanking commenters. While there were several recommendations from rubbing alcohol to sugar soap, in the end, a magic eraser did the trick.
A popular suggestion on the group, several people praised the product, available from Sainsbury's for £3, and the woman took their advice. "Thanks everyone, a magic eraser sponge with a tiny bit of Cif cream and water has worked and removed it all," she revealed.
It's not the first time the product has come in for praise on the group either. Mrs Hinch fans also love using the product when it comes to cleaning their bathrooms, as it is said to work 'miraculously' well when you are looking to remove yellow toilet seat stains.
Praising the product after a group member asked how to remove marks, one fan was confident it would 'life most of the staining' if applied to the toilet seat. In that instance, it was also recommended to combine use with bicarbonate of soda.
