WHEN it comes to our all-time worst cleaning crimes, we're all been guilty of charging up the stairs in muddy shoes we can't be bothered to take off. Right?
Well now one mum-of-three has revealed an incredible solution for cleaning even the filthiest of staircase - and the pictures are nothing short of game-changing.
Posting in a Mrs Hinch Facebook , the mum - who lives in Portadown, Northern Ireland - wrote: "Our stairs get a lot of traffic with kids running straight upstairs from outside so I read somewhere about 'Elbow Grease' and thought I would give it a bash before ringing in a professional cleaner."
Asking her fellow 125,000 group members to "please don't judge", the mother posted before-and-after snaps of her tired stairs before revealing the two affordable cleaning products she used to achieve the impressive results.
Delving into the four-step method, the mother wrote: "I sprayed with Elbow Grease and then left it for 10 minutes.
";Then I rubbed in Dr Beckmann carpet cleaner and left it for 20 minutes."
After using the two deep cleaning sprays - which only set her back £4 - the mother then "scrubbed with warm water and a hard-brush and then rubbed it with a white towel."
In fact, the four-step process (which took less than an hour) proved so vigorous for the mum that she even joked about cancelling her spin class later that day.
But sore arms and £4 seems like an incredibly small price to pay for a carpet which looks as good as new. Amirite?
Unsurprisingly, other cleaning fans have been similarly blown away by the home transformation.
Praising the mum for her honesty, one user replied: "You should be so proud, your house is clearly well loved and lived in which does for the majority of us who don't all have 'show homes'.
Another wrote: "Great job. I hope everyone will take their shoes off after all your hard work."
Impressed with the mother's determination, a third added: "Amazing job - looks like a huge amount of hard work. Well done you."
