5 cleaning hacks
Say goodbye to ironing
Don't have time to smooth out the wrinkles of a shirt with an iron?
Teabags for trainers
When trainers smell a little squiffy, pop a used (and still moist) tea bag inside and leave for about an hour. The tannins will seep into the sole of the shoe to fight nasty-smelling odours.
Remove limescale without scrubbing
When bathroom taps start looking a little grimy with limescale, slice a lemon in half and sprinkle on baking soda. Rub the fruit over the taps and with a gentle clean they will come up sparkling. Use a toothbrush to get in all the nooks and crannies.
Streak-free mirrors and windows
White vinegar is a handy secret weapon when it comes to keeping mirrors and windows streak-free. Mix one part white vinegar with four parts water in a spray bottle. Squirt then wipe with a microfibre cloth and voilà, clean glass in an instant.
Make your home smell amazing
For dust-free skirting boards, pour some fabric softener onto a cloth and give them a quick wipe. It will stop dirt collecting so quickly and, as an added bonus, make your home smell amazing.
However, for larger or older stains that have alreadt set in, you will likely need something a bit more heavy duty.
So if you're investing in these cleaning wipes, be sure to act quickly if you spot a stain.

My ex-girlfriend has moved on with new man but we still have weekly sex – I want her back
Last week, I went to watch our sons' football training and she was there with him - I can't bear to see them together DEAR DEIDRE My ex-girlfriend has moved on with new man but we still have weekly sex – I want her back DEAR DEIDRE: MY ex has moved on with a loser boyfriend who is playing daddy to my two kids — but I'm still having sex with her every week. We were together for ten years, most of the time very happily, and our two lads are amazing. Advertisement But I'd been working away a lot on a new project and, when I went home, we'd end up arguing. My partner said she felt like she was a single mum, but I believed I was doing my bit to put food on the table for the family. Eventually, the arguments got too much, so I left before she kicked me out. It broke my heart. Still, I was surprised when she took up with a new guy. I know him. He sells dodgy goods for a living, yet she insists she's happy with him. Advertisement Two months ago, she rang to ask whether I'd get my old car racing set out of the loft for the boys. It was a Friday afternoon, the kids were in school and her boyfriend had gone away with mates on a stag weekend. She looked lovely in her tight T-shirt and shorts. We laughed and joked around and, when I climbed down from the loft, she was standing close to me, so I kissed her. It felt so natural. She asked if I wanted sex, which obviously I did. It was like old times. She's now making excuses for me to drop by and we always end up in bed. I'm hoping there may be a chance for us again, but when I hint at a proper reunion, she says she's enjoying life with this new guy. Advertisement Relationships, jealousy and envy Last week, I went to watch the boys' football training and she was there with him. I can't bear to see them together. My project is over and I'm working nine to five again. I want her back. We are both 32. DEIDRE SAYS:Tell her how you feel and how things could change if you were back as a family unit. If you decide to give it another go, couples counselling would be a smart move to stop you returning to the same cycle of arguing. My support pack, How Counselling Can Help, explains more. If her answer is no, sort out your relationship and lay down some clear boundaries. Advertisement Having sex with her is a huge distraction and keeping you tied in. If you're single, you should move on. You can still be a great dad to your boys and, if you draw up an arrangement for seeing them, you will all know where you stand. Get in touch with Deidre Every problem gets a personal reply, usually within 24 hours weekdays. Send an email to deardeidre@ You can also send a private message on the DearDeidreOfficial Facebook page. DAD SAYS I'M SAME AS CROOK BROTHER DEAR DEIDRE: THE day of my graduation is approaching and my dad is refusing to come, saying I will let him down before long. He's even said he wishes my cousins were his sons, instead of my brother and me. My brother is in prison for being part of a drug gang. Advertisement Although he has done wrong, he just got caught up with the wrong crowd when he left college. He's 26 and I'm 21. Dad said to me: 'It won't be long before you go the same way.' However, I'm a hard-working student and have already put applications in to work for really good companies. There's no way I'd get involved with drugs or the criminal world. Dad has really upset me by taking this stance. There will now only be my mum and my nan at the ceremony. Advertisement DEIDRE SAYS: Your dad is feeling a sense of failure as a father, but your brother is an adult and he has made his own choices. Your dad is ashamed, perhaps because he feels he could have done more to guide your brother. He had other ideas and dreams for the future of you boys – but you are fulfilling those aspirations. Encourage your dad to get help through the Prisoners' Families helpline ( 0808 808 2003). Invite him to your graduation again nearer the time but, if he still refuses, don't let him spoil your day. Advertisement You will still celebrate with your mum and nan – and it will be his loss. BOYFRIEND CHEATED ON ME . . . WITH HIS MALE FRIEND DEAR DEIDRE: MY boyfriend and I were happy living together for 18 months. But last September he went out with a friend and didn't come home that night at all. He finally turned up at lunchtime the next day – complaining he needed to go straight to bed. He apologised and explained he'd drunk too much and passed out on his mate's floor. He is 29 and I'm 27. He did seem a bit distant over the next few weeks but I thought he was distracted by work. Then out of the blue he moved out to live with his parents. Initially, he said he wanted to bubble up with them to help them stay safe. I thought this seemed odd as they are both in their mid-fifties. However the last few weeks he's stopped returning my calls. Something didn't feel right so I had it out with him. He finally admitted he had sex with his male friend on that night out and admitted he is really confused and doesn't know what to do. DEIDRE SAYS: Chances are your boyfriend's sexuality will have been an issue for him for some time. People don't choose their sexuality and many are not even happy when they discover they are gay rather than heterosexual. It is best to let go now and start to focus on your own future. He has chosen to move on and now you need to do the same. HE WON'T QUIT SEEING HIS CRUSH DEAR DEIDRE: I COULDN'T have been more delighted when my neighbour said she'd sold her house and was moving – because my husband is obsessed with her. But I exploded with rage when he told me he still plans to meet up with her after she's moved. She seemed nice at first, and my husband was always going round to see her because she 'needed a job doing'. He's 61 and would act like a love-sick teenager when she messaged. He said they were 'friends' and had lots in common. To my mind, their mutual hobby was drinking to excess. Either she would pop round with a bottle of wine, or he'd go to 'do a job' – taking booze with him. Advertisement In the end, I told her she wasn't welcome in my house, so my husband went to hers instead. I'm 59 and she's 54. She's attractive, so I'm no fool when it comes to what is going on. I know he fancies her, yet he says it's platonic. She has a way with men – she's been married four times. Now, my husband says she's still his friend and they're staying in touch. Should I tell him that he can't go, or just play along and accompany him on his visits? DEIDRE SAYS: Yes, why not give him the benefit of the doubt and suggest that you go along with him? If he doesn't want you there, that would suggest you are right to be suspicious. Advertisement If that's the case, put your foot down, insisting on counselling to understand what's going wrong. Meanwhile, ensure your relationship is as fun as it can be – then being with you will hold more attraction than being in her company. She might be trying to tempt him but you can still make him remember why he married you. My support pack, Relationship MOT, will ensure you keep that va-va-voom in your marriage.

Next's 'lovely' Midi Dress hailed as 'perfect for summer' by delighted shoppers
Next customers are going wild for a "gorgeous" dress that's become an essential addition to summer holiday wardrobes. The Puff Sleeve Midi Dress is flying off the shelves at the high street fashion behemoth, garnering five-star reviews for both its comfort and "stylish" design. With a price tag ranging from €74 to €79.50, the dress is available in three shades: white floral, yellow, and teal. Crafted from a breezy cotton-viscose mix with a billowing maxi skirt, it promises to keep wearers cool with flair. The shirred dress cinches at the waist for a flattering silhouette, while the puff sleeves give it a voluminous touch that can be glammed up or toned down. For those looking for a similar vibe from other high street shops, New Look's latest hit is the Brown Checked Puff Sleeve Seersucker Midi Dress, retailing at £35.99 (€41.60) and boasting comparable puff sleeve and shirred bodice features. Next shoppers praised the dress as 'perfect for summer days' (Image: Next) Meanwhile, M&S has introduced the Pure Cotton Square Neck Midaxi Dress for €75, a black number perfect for transitioning into autumn with any jacket or coat. Back to Next, where the Puff Sleeve Midi Dress is being praised as "very flattering" and "super comfortable" ideal for summer getaways and more. The retailer suggests styling it with sandals and a raffia bag for a "dreamy" ensemble perfect for basking in holiday sunshine, reports Chronicle Live. One delighted shopper gushed about the dress: "Lovely dress, stylish and perfect for summer days and evenings out. I was so pleased with this purchase I have bought every colour available and I have even bought two for next year I love them so much. Would definitely recommend." Echoing the sentiment, another reviewer chimed in: "Have worn my dress twice so far and have had nothing but praise from people who comment that it's absolutely beautiful and I have to agree. It's also very cool and comfortable to wear so definitely recommend it." The dress also comes in 'beautiful' bright yellow or teal for an eye-catching look (Image: Next) A third happy customer, who chose the teal version, shared: "Beautiful dress that I've worn on many different occasions now. Was unsure at first of the neckline and sleeves, but bought a bra with no straps and it made all the difference. Love the colour!". Yet another satisfied buyer, who opted for the yellow version of the stylish dress, enthused: "Beautiful colour, the quality is excellent and the material just flows, the fit is comfortable. You can dress it up or relax in it. Very versatile. I would recommend this dress." Despite the Puff Sleeve Midi Dress scoring an impressive average rating of 4.5 out of five stars from purchasers, not all feedback was glowing. A disgruntled customer remarked: "Quality was not great for the price and the sleeves were ill-fitting and loose." A handful of other shoppers expressed their desire for additional sizing choices, with one reviewer sharing: "Beautiful dress and looks like lovely on, my only criticism would be it is too long and would have been good to offer it in a petite size as not everyone is over 5ft 6ins."
