The 59p hack which leaves your carpets looking like new

Cleaning your carpets can be a tricky task.

But a mum has shared her delight after simple and cheap cleaning hack got the job done much easier than usual.

Manda Good's carpet was mucky despite continued vacuuming - this was until discovered a neat trick to help overcome this issue.

Cleaning guru Mrs Hinch posted about the trick some months ago, and Manda was amazed after giving it a go.

Posting on Hinch Army Cleaning Tips Facebook page , she explained how the 59p trick left her carpets spick-and-span, The Mirror reports.

She wrote: "You lovely Hinchers have done it again. I have a lovely silver grey carpet which lately has become a bit dull and I’m always hoovering but it had lost its lovely look.

"I saw the post about trapped hair and how hoovering doesn’t get it out. So I bought a squeegee for 59p and gave it a go."

The results were pretty impressive.

"This is my daughter's bedroom carpet. She has very long hair. I was totally shocked at how much came up and a bit disgusted to be honest," Manda wrote.

"My carpet now looks brand new again! If you haven’t tried it yet do it!"

And hundreds of other Mrs Hinch fans were just as impressed with the results.

One wrote: "I do this every week now. Amazing how much hair and dust comes up. Only thing is my squeegee doesn't last long."

Another added: "I do my stairs often and the amount that comes off is crazy!"

Fans also posted tips to make the hack even more effective.

"You can get a rubber brush (Home Bargains) which makes the job much easier," one wrote.

Another added: "I've also got a hideous pair of rubber sliders that are used specifically for this. They clean the carpet and it's a workout to boot."
