In a video posted to her social media, the cleaning ace shared how to create a DIY seat shiner solution in just seconds.

All you need is a washing machine tablet, a bucket and some hot water.

Make sure the tablet is one of the type that involve a plastic pouch filled with detergent gel.

These can be picked up for as little as 27p each online.

Simply cut the pouch open and squeeze the gel into the bottom of the bucket.

Then slowly add hot, but not boiling, water and mix to create a loose solution.

Be careful not to breathe in too many fumes from the detergent, especially if you are allergic, as these can be harmful.

You can then either transfer the liquid into a spray bottle or simply soak some microfibre cloths in it for a few minutes and you're ready to get scrubbing.

Wipe down your seats well, paying particular attention to any stains, and the results should be visible within minutes, while your motor will be left smelling fresh.

Just make sure to only use on upholstered seats as too much water can be damaging to leather.

However, the nifty hack is not for everybody.

One user wrote: "If you have sensitive skin, don't do this."

Likewise, it should be avoided if you have an allergy to laundry detergent.
