After trying everything to shift it with no luck, she turned to Facebook group for some tips. 

She wrote: “Ideas to clean the black round plug hole? 

“Tried bleach but made it worse. Previously used a toothbrush but got told that could damage the adhesive. Thoughts?”

And the Hinch Army didn’t disappoint, with dozens of women sharing their tried and tested methods - including some unusual products.
