On a recent episode of BBC One’s Sort Your Life Out, Stacey Solomon shared a handy two-step hack for removing yucky scents in washing machines. Joining Kirsty, a disabled mother from Nottingham, and her partner Taureen, the TV star helped revamp their packed four-bedroom abode.
The unfortunate mum had suffered herniated discs and chronic pain following a holiday accident, reports the Mirror. Taureen shared: “Before Kirsty’s injuries she had a pristine house, but they all know mum’s not as sturdy on her feet and can’t do as much as she used to.”
Hunting for smart storage solutions for the family, Iwan Carrington, a cleaning guru in the team, showed off a cheeky secret to sprucing up forgotten washing machine drawers. After removing the drawer and exposing the mould lurking inside, he revealed: “If your washing machine is starting to smell, this could be why.”

Sporting cleaning gloves, Iwan slathered a generous amount of baking powder over the mould-affected sections of the drawer compartment. Following that, he took a bottle filled with white vinegar, and squirted it onto the baking powder, which started to “fizz up and bubble away”.
Iwan shared a nifty trick and said: “Whatever the situation is, this trick is going to blitz it. Now not only will the family hopefully have less clothes to be washing, but when they do wash them, they’re all going to be smelling incredible.”

He pointed out that appliances can become a breeding ground for black mould due to moisture, which necessitates a thorough clean to prevent musty-smelling laundry. You can grab baking soda for just 59p at Sainsbury’s and white vinegar for a mere 99p from Morrisons.
Later on, the cleaning whizz demonstrated how to get your bathroom taps sparkling with something you’ve got lying around at home. Iwan advised: “If you ever drop a blob of toothpaste down the sink, don’t just rinse it away.”

He then used an old toothbrush and toothpaste to tackle hard water stains and persistent marks in seconds, achieving a “nice and shiny” result. He concluded: “It makes for a really nice gentle cleaner. Then just give it a quick wipe with a damp cloth to remove all the toothpaste. How nice does that look?”
