Mrs Hinch’s Last-Minute Guide To Hinching Your Home For Christmas

If you're looking to impress your family with a spic and span home this Christmas, there is only one person you should be looking to for advice.

Mrs Hinch aka Sophie Hinchcliffe amassed a 1.4 million-strong following on Instagram earlier this year with her incredible cleaning tips to Hinch your home (and your life).

Here's some of her top tips she has shared on her Instagram stories over the past year to get your home Christmas-ready.

1) Oven clean: With a big turkey (or nut roast) and all the trimmings to cook for the family, your oven might be due for a deep clean.

Mrs Hinch's gleaming stove top puts ours to shame, but she swears by one product to get it just as shiny. Sophie's obsessed with using the Pink Stuff paste, which you can pick up for just a quid from your local bargain store.

She uses a generous amount before scrubbing away at the dirt with her 'Minky' MCloth anti-bacterial cleaning pad after leaving it for a couple of minutes.

Mrs Hinch also uses an oven liner at the bottom of her cooker, which are easier to keep clean than the bottom of your oven.

Elbow Grease spray can be used on the oven racks, leaving it to soak in your sink. A window and glass spray can be used to clean the oven door, and you're done.

2) Add finishing touches to your tree: Our trees and Christmas decorations are up, but if you want to go one step further, Sophie has a clever hack to hide any visible bauble strings.

Speaking to her Hinch army on her Instagram story earlier this month, the hairdresser revealed she uses snow spray to hide the string.

She said: "These little parts where you can see where the baubles are attached, I just put a bit of snow over it."

You can pick up a can of fake snow for just a couple of quid from any bargain store.

3) Zoflora everything! One of Mrs Hinch's favourite cleaning products is Zoflora - a disinfectant that comes in loads of different scents. Three different festive fragrances were released earlier this year - cranberry and orange, winter spice, and warm cinnamon,

From popping a tissue soaked in the stuff at the bottom of your bin to stop any nasty smells to popping a splash down your drains, it can be used for near enough everything.

If you want to keep your home smelling like Santa's Grotto, you can wipe a cloth soaked in a dilute solution of a Christmas Zoflora over your radiators, so the scent fills your home.

4) Clean the walls: While it might be a little too last-minute to give your entire home a lick of paint so it's Christmas party-ready, Mrs Hinch uses fabric conditioner to clean any dirty marks off walls without causing any damage.

Add a capful of any conditioner you fancy into warm water, and use your Minky cloth to wipe any marks off. Ideally this step would be done before you put up any Christmas decorations.

You can also use this hack to clean outside windows before putting up your decorations up, too.

5) Banish mattress stains: If you have any guests staying over at Christmas, you'll probably be looking to Hinch your spare room too.

If you want to get rid of any mattress stains ahead of their arrival, Sophie simply uses bicarbonate powder. Sprinkle some over any stains on your mattress, working it into the fabric while wearing a rubber glove to protect your hands.

Just leave the powder to work its magic for up to an hour, before hoovering off.

A perfectly Hinched home, just in time for Christmas!
