No parent wants to track mud, dirt and wet leaves through their house – or leave their buggy outside to get wet.

To save her carpets from getting grubby, one mum decided to pop £1 shower caps over her buggy wheels.

Sharing her cheap tip to Facebook’s , she uploaded a snap of her pram covered in Little Mermaid-themed shower caps.

She wrote: “£1 shower caps bought from Poundland.

“Ideal for popping over your muddy wheels to catch the mud when it dries and flakes off.

“Saves your carpets and floors getting dirty.

“You can actually buy wheel covers for this purpose but this is definitely a money saving idea and works so well and you can keep reusing over and over again.”

Her simple yet effective idea has gone down a storm online, with her post racking up nearly 6,000 likes.

One mum wrote: “Bloody ingenious idea there.”
