A woman has shared a smart and cheap hack for getting your sink spotless.

Our kitchen sinks see a lot of use every week - from dirty pots and pans leftover, washing our hands, or watering house plants. Most of us will use our sinks every day which sadly means our they require a lot of cleaning maintenance.

With the rising cost of living crisis continuing to put pressure on the purse strings and households, spending extra cash on 'the best of the best' cleaning products is one spending habit we could do without. Thankfully, the 'Queen of Hacks' and home cleaning-lover Tanya, known as @tanyahomeinspo on TikTok, has found a way of cleaning her sink for just £1.20.

Tanya, who often shares tips on crafts and cooking, said her sink hack gave "unbelievable" results. She added: "This is without a doubt the best hack you will see today. Wow."

The homeware lover, who has 6.9 million TikTok watchers, puts baking soda into a ceramic bowl. She then adds a dollop of Fairy Liquid dish soap to the bowl and mixes it with the baking soda until a paste is formed.

Next, Tanya spreads the paste on a paintbrush and brushes it on her steel silver sink - all over. The cleaning influencer showed how she cuts a lemon into half and uses one half as a scrubber. The storage finds expert rubs the lemon all over the paste on the sink before washing it off with water.

She added: "This has left my sink clean for three days so far. No other products last that long. I had some bad limescale around my taps and I used this. It definitely helped to illuminate it."

Video watchers were "wowed" by the results. It cost Tanya less than £2 to transform her kitchen sink, as you can pick up baking soda for as little as 65p from Tesco and Asda, while Asda's Just Essentials washing up liquid is just 55p - bringing the total cost of the hack to £1.20.

One individual said: "This is so satisfying to watch. I like the scrubbing with lemon." Another added: "Great idea with the paint brush, going to start using this thank you girl." A third said: "Omg it works."

"I have been doing that for years and it's great," another commented, as someone else wrote: "Wow that's amazing, I got to try this." Tanya loves sharing tips for packing and storage, travel hacks, shopping deals, laundry tips, as well cocktail-making ideas and homemade Christmas decorations.
