MRS Hinch revealed the grime which built up on her hairbrushes after she didn’t clean them for five weeks, and how she got them sparkling again.
The cleaning queen, aka Sophie Hinchliffe, shared a tutorial on showing fans how she gets her hair accessories gleaming.
The mum-of-one shared a clip showing her paddle brushes, combs and hair clips neatly lined up, ready to be Hinched.
The 30-year-old said: “These are bad. I haven’t done these for about five weeks.
“First thing I like to tick off today are my brushes, clips and combs.
“I’ll use this comb just to scrape the hair out of the paddle brushes.”
She praised the tangle tamers she got from eBay, saying she’s had them for years and they work well “extensions or no extensions”.
And she recommended the Hair Shark brush, which costs £16.99 from eBay, for anyone wanting to add volume to their roots.
Mrs Hinch, from Essex, talked fans through how she deep cleans her brushes, revealing she uses a comb to unclog her other hairbrushes.
She scrapes the blonde hair off the paddle brushes, leaving her with a giant hairball.
After removing all the hair she explains you need to fill your sink up with warm, not boiling, water, and pop all your hair accessories in.
Then add in one tablespoon of washing up liquid and another of vinegar, with Mrs Hinch saying the latter was to ‘kill bacteria and germs’.
As they soak, Mrs Hinch says: “As you can see it’s working because the colour of the water is disgusting.
“And you can see the build up sort of float up and stick to the sides.”
You then leave your brushes in the water for at least an hour, adding she normally cleans hers once a month.
Meanwhile this bored mum tried to dye her brown hair blonde during lockdown – but ends up with a ginger do instead.
