8. Treat stains with shaving foam

We love nothing more than a weird and wacky cleaning hack, and this definitely ticks that box. If you have some unsightly soft-furnishing stains, shaving foam could be just what you need.

Spray it directly onto the stain, and leave for a few minutes. Its foamy nature will seep much deeper into the fabric than soap and water alone. Blot with a paper towel to remove the shaving foam and the stain and reveal a spotless sofa.

9. How to vacuum small spaces

Nooks and crannies can be tricky to reach, even with the smallest vacuum head attachment.

There's a hack for that!

Attach a condiment nozzle onto the end of your vacuum tube and you'll be able to get into literally any space, no matter the size.

10. How to remove water stains

If you drink tea anywhere near as much as we do, you'll be familiar with pesky water stains. These pose a strange cleaning problem, and it can be difficult to know how to treat them.

Want to know our secret?

A hairdryer! Hold it a few inches away from the stain and use a medium heat whilst buffing with a bit of polish on a cloth. The results are amazing.

11. Use beer to shine wood

Want to hear another bizarre cleaning hack?

It turns out, beer isn't just great for drinking - it also adds a gleaming shine to dull wood. Dampen a clean cloth with beer, wring out, and use in circular motions on wooden surfaces to bring it back to life.

12. The easiest way to clean blinds

Cleaning blinds can be a timely task. Why not make things easier with a simple cleaning hack?

Instead of a duster, pull an old sock over your hand and use it to clean your blinds instead. You'll be able to access both sides of the blind at once, making this job much less fiddly.

13. How to fix scratches on leather furniture

When shoes get scratched and marked, we use shoe polish to buff them up. Well, why not try the same method for your leather furniture?

Apply a small amount on a soft, polish brush (make sure it's a good colour match) and apply to scuffed areas of leather. Buff thoroughly to remove any excess and marvel at the astonishing difference it makes!
