Carolina, a mum of two from Perth, Australia, is popular on the app for sharing her creative home and cleaning hacks.

She revealed her DIY dust-repelling recipe which will leave your house free from stubborn dust and help stop dust building up over time.

She uses a combination of oil, washing up liquid, vinegar, water, and lemon extract to make the solution.

To make the recipe for the 'magic dust repellent' first begin by pouring half a tablespoon of olive oil into a bowl or jug, this helps repel dust from sitting on surfaces.

Next, add a tablespoon of vinegar, which Carolina points out kills dust mites and half a cup of water to the oil mixture.

Finally, add a couple of drops of washing-up liquid and ten drops of lemon essential oil to the mixture.
