Mrs Hinch reveals £2.99 secret to banishing shower limescale & her ‘insane’ tool for dog hairs is currently on sale
ASK any British woman who loves cleaning who her dream dinner party guest is, and she’ll probably say Mrs Hinch.
The 34-year-old has become a household name thanks to sharing her cleaning expertise and organisation skills on social media.
And with nearly five million followers on Instagram alone, it’s a given that millions would love to pick her brain.
Luckily, we don’t have to wait for the dinner party of our dreams to get that opportunity.
The cleaning whizz, whose real name is Sophie Hinchliffe, recently took to her Instagram stories to answer her fans burning questions.
Addressing everything from toy storage to limescale, here’s what Mrs Hinch had to say…
TOY STORAGE
Mrs Hinch joked that, despite her organisation expertise, she is “useless” when it comes to toy storage.
She shares sons Ronnie, four, and Lennie, two, with her sales manager husband Jamie, with the boys having a huge playroom in her picturesque home – dubbed Hinch Farm.
But it turns out, there isn’t much order when it comes to toy organisation in the Hinch household.
“I just shove all of the toys in a Kallax unit,” Mrs Hinch revealed.
“There’s no organisation here… there probably should be.
“I just whack them where they fit, to be perfectly honest.
“And as you can see, sometimes they get chucked in the corner, sometimes they get chucked in a basket.”
The mum-of-two relies heavily on Swedish home brand IKEA’s storage solution, dubbing the furniture “amazing”.
The Kallax units are simple cube storage shelving that you can buy drawer inserts for, with prices starting at £25 for a two-cube unit.
PET HAIR
Fans also enquired how Mrs Hinch deals with dog hair from her cocker spaniel, Henry.
She revealed that she uses the ACE2ACE Pet Hair Remover Roller, which typically costs £19.99 but is currently reduced on Amazon to £14.99.
“If you haven’t got one, get one,” she said.
“They are brilliant.
“I used them on the sofas, and also on the stairs.”

“The pet hair remover roller has a very effective fleece force and is made of a semi roller coated with a static charge material,” a blurb on the product reads.
“With just a couple of passes, you can collect much more hair from fixed areas like carpet, furniture, rugs, stairs, bedding and sofa.
“You can use it back and forth, but it is better if you use it by pulling back.”
LIMESCALE
When questioned about tackling limescale in the shower, Mrs Hinch revealed that Viakal Bathroom Limescale Remover Spray is her hero product.
“I’ve used it for years,” she said.
Viakal’s limescale spray is a staple in most British households, with one spray bottle costing £2.99.
“This is your number one against limescale ally,” a blurb on the product reads.
“It quickly eliminates limescale and hard water marks, together with the dirt and bacteria trapped inside of them.
“This spray goes to work on your bathroom and kitchen surfaces, from chrome to ceramics to tiles and shower doors, to remove imperfections and leave behind a brilliant shine.
“The formula not only removes the limescale, but it prevents it from returning on your surfaces.
“Thanks to the anti droplet technology, water marks will be prevented from reappearing, giving you the convenience of a long lasting shine.”
