Fans of cleaning sensation Mrs Hinch have created their own social media groups dedicated to sharing cleaning and tidying tips. Mrs Hinch, whose full name is Sophie Hinchliffe, became famous after she began sharing her unique cleaning tips on social media and TV. She now has over 4.2 million followers on Instagram and her own homeware range.
Amy Crolla said: “People on here suggesting window vacs but no one’s got any money for that especially coming up to Christmas.
“Here’s a cheaper way, grab a big plastic tub and make your own dehumidifier by putting cat litter or salt or even sugar in it – anything that will absorb moisture.
“Also to wipe away the water on the windows, the micro cloth are great they soak up loads of water.
“Sell them for £1 pack of five in your local £1 shop or B&M. Hope this helps.”
Morrisons Table Salt costs just 29p while 1.5kg of Essential Cooking Salt costs 95p from Waitrose.
Other suggestions from Mrs Hinch fans included using a window squeegee, using an installation kit or getting an air chimney fitted.
Hannah Frances wrote: “We have this on the windows we haven’t changed. I use a window vac everyday.
“But if money is tight an ordinary window squeegee (about £1.50 from B&M) and a towel is just as good.
“I found wiping the windows once a week with white vinegar also reduced the condensation.
“Try to open the windows in the morning (once the curtains are open).
“It’s a sign that your house is nice and warm but the window units may be old and not as energy efficient.
“Our new windows don’t do this at all and my heating bill has been cut in half as the house is so warm too.”
Louise Coffey said: “Try a window insulation kit from Amazon.
“We are in rented and have just done this to ours and it stops it all and also makes the house warmer.
“It just uses double sided sticky tape so should be easy enough to take off when you move out.”
Amanda Burley suggested: “Get an air chimney fitted. Find them online.
“They’re easy to fit yourself or any damp proofing company would supply and fit one for you.”
