Stacey Solomon's new TV show 'Sort Your Life Out' shares fantastic tricks and tips to help people transform the space they live in, helping them to make the most of it. Stacey Solomon and her team help families to transform their homes by decluttering, upcycling, and recycling their way to a new abode.

This week, the Loose Women star went to help the Viney family, who are based in Surrey, which is home to a grandmother of six, whose grandkids cannot visit due to the amount of clutter in the home.

Stacey, who is now pregnant with her fifth child, was on a mission to help the grandma de-clutter her home so she could have her beloved grandkids round without being embarrassed, or worried about them hurting themselves.

Many year's worths of clutter had amassed when Stacey arrived. She found piles of umbrellas, over 500 plastic bags, around 200 hair rollers, and even over 400 pairs of shoes - a collection many would be envious of.

While the team worked tirelessly to clean up the mess, they also shared some handy cleaning hacks to ensure that your home is spick and span.

One of the helpful hacks was removing limescale from a kettle - with no scrubbing involved.

The trick costs pennies as you only need a lemon and water, and it's much more environmentally friendly than using a standard cleaning product - an individual lemon currently costs 25p at Sainsbury's.

Simply slice the lemon up, fill it with water up to where the limescale is (being careful not to overfill it) and then boil it.

Will you be trying these hacks? Let us know in the comments.

Once this has been completed, pour the residue out, rinse it, and the inside of your kettle will look as good as new.

Stacey also recommended that rather than get rid of old cabinets that may be past their prime, you should simply give them a new lease of life. They can be painted to suit your n room aesthetic or simply wash the knobs in salt, white vinegar, and bicarb to make them gleam.
