They use social media to display their work - including their top secret carpet lines - and give people cleaning tips, tricks and motivation. Briony and Chelsey have now shared some of their favourite cleaning products and hacks that they use everyday while cleaning homes.

Briony said: "Put bi carb and white vinegar down the sink every night, it's a natural cleaning solution which will clean your drains and leaves them smelling fresh. Another tip is a good glass spray and glass cloth will leave your glass sparkling.

"We personally love Windolene Diamond Shine or Pink Stuff glass cleaner with a Minky glass cloth. You can't go wrong.

"For mould we recommend HG mould remover and we absolutely love Woodsilk for wood. Make sure you have a good glass scraper for limescale on glass and a silicone scraper for on top of hobs."

No matter how small the list is, it helps to work your way through jobs and gives you satisfaction when those tasks are ticked off.

4. Making the bed

Briony from Clean and Bright sys making your bed first thing will make tidying easier, and your day go a whole lot better.
