Mum-of-five’s unusual way of cleaning entire bathroom leaves people flabbergasted – & they all have the same complaint
A MUM-OF-FIVE has left social media users baffled after revealing the rather unusual way she cleans her bathroom - and people are all saying the same thing.
Cleaning your home is a task that many of us avoid like the plague - so spare a thought for this mum who has five kids aged between one and ten.
Being a parent to that many kids, unfortunately, also comes with an awful lot of mess - but it seems the mum, from Australia, has come up with a hack to tackle it.
All chuffed with the rather unusual cleaning method, the Aussie took to the popular group on Facebook to rave about it.
She said in : ''I am a mother of 5 children aged between 10 and 1, making our household a family of 7.
''We have one bathroom for us all, as you could imagine it gets very dirty.''
To make the sink sparkle like new, the Aussie parent seemed to have discovered a trick that doesn't require any harsh ingredients - and it's typically used for your gnashers.
''I have found the best way to clean the bathroom sink is with toothpaste….
''Whether it’s dirt and grime, soap build up, slime or who knows what else TOOTHPASTE is the winner for me.''
To demonstrate just how effective this solution is, she also uploaded a few snaps of the sink before and after the toothpaste treatment.

Prior to applying a small amount of the toothpaste onto the dirty areas, the sink was in a desperate need of a clean, with random stains and marks.
But once she had squeezed the dental staple around them, the sink looked as good as new - and it even had a little shine to it.

But despite being pleased with the hack, it seems that not everyone was a fan of it, as dozens raced to comments with the same complaint.
In their eyes, the trick, although effective, was not cheap.
''That sounds expensive, lol,'' reckoned one Facebook fanatic.
Another agreed, writing: ''This would have to be a very expensive way to clean.''
Someone else, meanwhile, joked: ''All this time I’ve assumed my kids are leaving smooshed toothpaste all over the sink, because they’re feral and lazy.
''Now I know they’re attempting to CLEAN the sink, I feel like a terrible mother.''
Others, luckily for the mum, also raved about the trick, as one member of the group insisted it worked like a charm.

''Toothpaste will get the job done because it’s abrasive ( a bit like JIFF). It’s also a natural anti-bacterial.''
''You are on a winner,'' another cleaning enthusiast chimed in.
