Lynsey Crombie, AKA the Queen of Clean<\/span><\/a> on Instagram, shares her best cleaning tips and tricks for a good spring cleaning session, as well as keeping on top of the daily grime.<\/p>\n

In partnership with household favourites Vileda<\/a> and Marigold<\/a>, the cleanfluencer shares her cleaning tips and tricks with Good Homes magazine, from dealing with common kitchen and bathroom germ hotspots to getting clean in 15 minutes…<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Tackling kitchen and bathroom germ hotspots<\/span><\/h2>\n

When working from home, you might find yourself boiling the kettle more often than usual for cups of tea and coffee. So naturally, this household appliance can be one of the biggest germ hotspots, particularly the handle.<\/span><\/p>\n

‘When we’re doing these really quick tasks we often miss things like light switches, plug points, cupboard handles and your bread bin,’ explains Lynsey. ‘And these are some of the areas where germs really stick, so they need special attention.’<\/span><\/p>

2. Cleaning with cupboard staples like ketchup<\/span><\/h2>\n

As we become more conscious consumers and like to know what we’re putting on our hands, face and skin, Lynsey says that there’s no need to buy harsh, specialist cleaning products, as you\u2019re likely to have more sustainable and surprisingly effective products in your pantry already.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the Queen of Clean, white vinegar is a great deodoriser, ketchup and beer are great for rust and white shaving foam makes for an amazing carpet cleaner \u2013 cheap cleaning hacks alert!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re tackling limescale around the bath or on your showerhead, spray undiluted white vinegar on the limescale, leave it for 20 minutes, then wipe down with just water to remove any unsightly deposits.<\/span><\/p>
