Hacks
One of the most difficult parts of any home to clean are carpets. Sure, we might live in the age of vacuum cleaners and endless cleaning products, but how well do they really work? Even carpets that are on the pricer side don't fare well with innocuous everyday dirt, and unless you're willing to turn your abode into a virtual showhome, you need to learn to live with it.
Or maybe you don't. Thanks to the internet, it's easier than ever before for people to share their cleaning hacks and one mom who's, quite frankly, a league above the rest of us mere mortals is Mrs. Hinch, who has gained legions of fans on social media websites including YouTube and Instagram by sharing her surprisingly simple and effective cleaning hacks.
In the video below, she shares some of her best tips:

The magic in this hack is the result of a squeegee - y'know, the device which, until now, has been reserved entirely for cleaning the likes of car, bathroom, or window glass.
The online sensation revealed to her million-plus followers on Instagram that all they need to do to transform their carpets is "gently scrape", the Daily Mail reported, the dry device over them and voilà!
