Mrs Hinch shares her quick and easy washing machine cleaning routine

Mrs Hinch recommends cleaning the washing machine out regularly to ensure the build up of grime is cleared away. She advises investing in a moppet sponge which is a super absorbent and thick sponge but also says that using a normal cloth would probably do the same job. Moppet sponges can be purchased for as little as £2 but can also be used on surfaces and to clean the bathroom too.

She gives the sponge a few sprays of Flash’s bathroom cleaner and then uses it to wipe down the outside of her washing machine.

The cleaning sensation also explains how she uses this spray in her kitchen for cleaning different appliances.

Making sure she reaches all the crevices, she then wipes the gap in between the machine and the plastic seal to remove all of the soap scum that can build up within a few uses.

In the Instagram story, Mrs Hinch is also seen using her favourite electronic cleaning brush known as the SonicScrubber.

For cleaning the inside of the washing machine, Mrs Hinch simply adds a capful of white vinegar with a scoop of bicarbonate of soda into the drum along with any cleaning cloths she has used.

The cleaning fanatic then sets the washing machine for a quick spin cycle which leaves the inside of the washing machine sparkling.

This cleaning routine takes around 20 minutes and should be performed weekly if you are using the washing machine on a daily basis.

Bicarbonate of soda is a great natural cleaning product that can be picked up super cheap.

Mrs Hinch also uses bicarbonate of soda to clean her microwave and she recommends putting a small dish of it into the microwave for a whole day.

Make sure the microwave is not being used at this time.

According to the cleaning sensation, the dish of bicarbonate of soda will absorb the unpleasant odours, leaving you with a fresh smelling microwave.

A microwave is often a kitchen appliance which is overlooked and doesn’t get cleaned as often as it should.

Germs thrive in warm areas and so food particles left in your microwave can pose as a potential health risk.
