Woman shares £1 cleaning hack to get hidden dirt and dust out of carpets

A woman has shared an incredible tip for getting hidden dust and dirt out of any carpet with a £1 cleaning product.

The tip involves using a window squeegee, and just a little bit of elbow grease.

Posting to Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips on Facebook, Amy Morris said: "Amazing hack I just have to share with you all!

The easy cleaning method brought up some shocking results (Amy Morris)

"I do this once a week and the build up is shocking.

"I have a dog so for me it gets all the dust and hair the Hoover can’t!.

"Just the usual shower/window screen squeegee- can get from Wilko, Poundland!"

Amy demonstrated how she uses the squeegee to get all the dirt to the surface - which you can watch in the video at the top of the article.

The results were shocking and left a huge ball of hair and dust on top of the carpet.

Others have tried the quick carpet hack, with another Facebook user, Gail, posting to the group: "So, I'm currently 35 weeks + 6 days pregnant and nesting has kicked in big time!

"I Hoover our bedroom carpet everyday, sometimes twice a day and today I was doing my windows at 7am (the birds woke me up) decided I'd give this a go as my carpet always has wee black sock bits on it even after hoovering!!

One woman said her carpet looked 'brand new' after trying the hack (Facebook / Gail McPartland)

"Just wow! That wee balls of fluff and hairs was just from the bit at the door!

"It's like a brand new carpet again!! My hands are now sore though and my arms and back won't thank me later but am so pleased!!"

The cleaning hack can be done with a window squeegee, which can be purchased from Wilko or Poundland for £1.
