Posting on the Family Lockdown Tips and Ideas page, Cheryl said: "It’s that time of year when it’s wet , muddy, and just about everything sticks to the pushchair wheels.

"If like me you have to have your pushchair in your lounge the last thing you want is dirty wheel marks all through the house and carpet so I keep a couple of pairs of shower caps inside the door to cover the wheels, cheap and cheerful solution and they are the perfect fit."

The post gained an incredible 20,000 likes and almost 5,000 comments from parents impressed with the clever hack.

The hack was described as "life-changing" by one parent (Facebook)

One said: "I seen this and I’m defo going to get some I’m constantly trailing grass through the house."

Another said: "Life changer. Wish I'd known this a couple of years ago. Thank you. Genius."

"Wish I knew about this when mine were little," said another.

A fourth added: "You need to patten that idea. It could really catch on and make you money!"
