Mrs Hinch rose to fame thanks to her savvy and cheap cleaning hacks and fans became so obsessed they even started social media groups sharing their own top tips for cleaning.

Asking for help on the Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips Facebook page, one user wrote: “What is the best device for cleaning skirting boards without having to be down on your knees?”

As we all know, skirting boards are prone to becoming dusty and it can be a chore having to scrub them.

Dusting with a microfibre cloth or a hoover is a popular way to sort the problem, but fans reckon a wet mop is the best way.
