    hi, i did post there but not sure if it worked or not, just looking for fellow paul the pine lovers ha
  • Hi Klew,

    I have been following her recently :)
    One thing I have recently bought on the back of this is some of the minky type cleaning cleaning pads from B&M. Bought a 3 pack the week before last and I've used one for lots of jobs around the house including cleaning sinks. I've also found they are great for wiping up a little condensation on the windows these cooler mornings. Went back to get some more last week and they had all sold out!

    I do love the way Mrs Hinch is inspiring so many others :)

    I've just looked at the clip in The Mirror cannot understand the attraction - I've got nothing against cleanliness, but she's just so totally Essex!

    Her property is a boring showhome in 50 shades of grey, full of useless decorative clutter, gauche wall art and lacking in any signs of charm (fair enough, that is the Essex dream) or even being lived in. With nails like that, do you really think she does much actual housework? And her secret weapon of choice is....a sponge??! :huh:

    I've just watched a video of Mrs H speed cleaning her bedroom, what a load of tosh. First of all empty all the drawers and cupboards, and make a big pile of mess on the floor and the bed. Then pick everything up and stuff it back into the drawers and cupboards. Dry mop the laminate floor. Speed the whole film up and bingo, all done in a few minutes.

    She's the latest in a long line of money bloggers/influencers who have aspirations of making it big, and there are plenty of people out there who will dutifully follow.

    I caught her on This Morning last week, I think she was there to promote her instagram account cos thats all I remember coming out of her mouth

    She also imparted such great knowledge of how to clean a drain and a kettle, Bicarb and vinegar, knowledge thats been shared on here since year dot.

    Definitely not for me either

    well you didnt hold back there! i dont think it matters where she comes from, its just a light hearted account which for some of us has brought a bit of fun back into cleaning. i personally think she has a nice home, it might not be for everyone but we would be boring if we were all the same :money:

    I think by looking at the amount of cleaning stuff she has bought I could cut it down to a fraction and still have a clean home The manufacturers must be rubbing their hands at the thought of how many products are getting shifted off the shelves

    As Ilona said a bit of tosh or as I would say total twaddle.

    Soda bicarb, white vinegar,a bottle of Zoflora and perhaps a bottle of Stardrops total cost around £3.00 to lot and more than enough there to clean any home. Cleaning cloths made from old clapped out face flannels of worn out tee shirts ,cheap as chips. I clean my windows with vinegar and old newspaper. But then I am not someone who is ever likely to court or want publicity about keeping my home clean. Good luck to her and all the women who wish to follow her ideas but not for me I am far too long in the tooth and have been cleaning for almost 60 years without all the fancy pants cleaners that are on the market :):):)

    Plus I find it hard to believe she does all that cleaning with those nails :)

    Not just a light hearted account, she is running a business. She needs zillions of [STRIKE]followers[/STRIKE], customers, to promote products for which she is being paid. If people find entertainment in that then so be it, as you say, we are not all the same.
