We love a good cleaning hack - especially when it's super easy and super fast! And the latest top tip promises to give you a sparkling kitchen sink that's free of limescale, in just a matter of minutes. The hack comes courtesy of Iwan Carrington, who shared his top tip during an appearance on Stacey Solomon's Sort Your Life Out, which airs on BBC One and all you need is four affordable ingredients.
So how does it work? The first step is to soak a cloth in some white vinegar before wrapping it around the limescale on the tap (usually at the base) so that it can start to get to work. While that's going on, you need to make up a paste to clean the sink. The mixture is very simple: salt and lemon juice combined with some bicarbonate of soda.
Apply the paste to the inside of the sink with a cloth or scouring pad, you can also use a toothbrush to get into those hard-to-reach areas, before removing - and voila! Your once-dull sink has been effortlessly transformed like magic.
It comes after a woman heaped praise on a 14p kitchen ingredient that can 'cut through' the grease in your oven and leave it sparkling without the need for 'heavy scrubbing'. Chantel Mila, who posts on TikTok under the username , shared a video in which she explained she cleans out her oven using nothing more than a bowl of water, some lemon slices, and some baking soda.
First, she puts the lemon in the water and heats it up in the oven for around 20 minutes. Then, she sprinkles baking soda inside her oven and uses a sponge dipped in the hot lemon water to gently rub the baking soda into the surface. In her video, Chantel said the lemon water and baking soda "cuts through grease and grime easily" and leaves your oven "shining" without you having to scrub at it for hours or splash the cash on expensive oven cleaning products.

She wrote in the caption of her clip: "Make your oven shine (without heavy scrubbing!) This mix is my go-to for a quick oven refresh between deep cleans. The citric acid in the lemons helps cut through grease and the baking soda makes scrubbing easy. Will you try this one?" Lemons can be purchased at most , and costs 55p - making each lemon around 14p. A costs the same price, as does the from .
