Stacey Solomon has shared a bargain hack for housework that will leave things sparkling without breaking the bank.

Stacey is good friends with Mrs Hinch who provides hints and tips about helping around the house.

She has now shared her tips and tricks for saving money around the house.

Stacey has her own TV show called Sort Your Life Out, and she aims to help people on a budget.

Viewers saw Stacey paint an old wooden cabinet in light grey.

She said the aim was to give ''it some life'' with cheerful wallpaper.

''I feel like this is minimum effort with maximum effect,'' she joked.

Cleaner Iwan Carrington showed Stacey how to get old knobs looking good as new.

Iwan advised: “I’ve got these brass knobs that are looking a bit dull and could do with a shine up so I’m going to make up some salt and some white vinegar and add some bicarb.

“These have had about ten minutes of soaking and I’m just scrubbing them against the salt.

“They’re starting to come up really nicely and they’re going to look really nice in here.” 

Stacey also explained how to shift stubborn limescale from kettles without scrubbing.

Even better, it only takes one ingredient: lemon.

Put the slices of lemon inside the kettle, fill it up with water to where the limescale is and put it on to boil.

Next, empty it out and admire the results: ''That is so much better,'' marvelled Stacey.
