Mrs Hinch, also known as Sophie Hinchcliffe, has revealed some great cleaning hacks that could have your home sparkling over Christmas. 

The Instagram star has almost three million followers, who like to keep up to date with her amazing cleaning tips and family life with her husband, baby and of course her dog. 

According to Mirror Online , Mrs Hinch manages to keep her home looking cosy and pristine by using some of the tricks and tips that she has learned over the years.

Before you get the Christmas decorations up, grab some Zoflora and stock up on organisation baskets if you want to make your house look just as fresh and pristine as Sophie's.

Mrs Hinch reveals her top cleaning tips

Mrs Hinch's top cleaning tips

Clean dirt marks from doors   

No matter what we try, it doesn't take long for our doors to become dirty and covered in black fingerprints. Scrubbing them can lift the paint from the door but re-painting it can be a time-consuming and messy task. 

This tip from Mrs Hinch can save the day as she says fabric conditioner can clean up the marks without removing the paint itself.

All you need to do is pour one cup of fabric conditioner into a bowl of water; then take a scourer and get to work on the door. 

Not only will this remove the dirt, it will leave your door smelling great too.

Unblock your sink   

If your drains are clogged, try this out before calling a plumber. 

Take one cup of soda crystals and one cup of white vinegar, then pour both down the sink. 

After 30 minutes, pour some boiling water down the drain to clear away the solution. 

This great hack will also get rid of any putrid smells.

Clean stubborn grease stains  

Our hobs can look a little worse for wear after cooking Christmas dinner, smothered in grease stains that we put off cleaning until Boxing Day.

However, Mrs Hinch highly recommends The Pink Stuff cleaning paste if you want to remove the greasy stains.

She said: "This is one of my favs [sic] and it's a miracle cleaning paste." It's a bargain at just £1. 

Mattress stains  

If you're a clumsy person, or even if you have accident-prone children, you don't have to live with mattress stains. 

Mrs Hinch recommends rubbing bicarbonate powder directly onto the stain and leaving it to work its magic for more than an hour. 

After this, use a vacuum cleaner to suck out all of the dirt and stains.
 

Sophie also has two books out, The Activity Journal and Hinch Yourself Happy (Publicity Picture)

Speaking to Philip Schofield and Holly Willoughby on This Morning, Mrs Hinch said she started her Instagram page, mrshinchhome, to showcase her interior design and decorating skills.

She said: "I didn't really want to bore my friends and family with it all so I thought 'okay, let's start a separate account. 

"One day I thought, let's clean on my stories but make it a little bit fun, a bit quirky and from there it's just rocketed."

Sophie has even released two books; Mrs Hinch: The Activity Journal and Hinch Yourself Happy.
