Cleaning expert reveals 80p Sainsbury's buy to get BBQ sparkling for summer – plus common error that poses hygiene risk
A CLEANING expert has revealed a 80p hack to make sure your garden is sparkling all summer long. Now that summer is finally upon us, and with temperatures set to ramp up again next week, many of us are likely making plans to have friends and family over for BBQs. And although barbecuing is an easy way to make a delicious dinner, it can be tricky to get grills clean afterwards. Dirty barbecues interfere with the quality of food, and don't make a great impression when you have guests. However, experts at HG have revealed some super cheap hacks to get them gleaming again. Lemon Juice The experts revealed that one budget friendly hack you can use to get your grill shining, is to use lemon juice. "Tackle tough BBQ grime by spraying lemon juice and water on the grill", they said. Lemon juice is super cheap, and you can pick some up from Sainsbury's for just 80p. If your BBQ is extra greasy, the experts recommend using another budget staple too - an onion. "For extra cleaning power, rub a hot grill with half a raw onion – the natural acids help lift off grease and food residue", they said. Aluminium Foil Another budget-friendly hack the experts recommend is to use aluminium foil. "Crumple a piece of aluminium foil into a ball and rub it over the grill to remove stubborn burnt-on bits," the experts said. My DIY BBQ station transformed my yard & my meat – it only cost $100 & makes better ribs than my metal smoker ever did "Follow with a quick brush to finish the job." Foil is another super cheap hack, and can be picked up from the supermarket for as little as £1. Grass If you're looking for a hack that's extra purse-friendly, using grass won't cost you a penny. "Place a cooled BBQ grill on the lawn overnight – the dew helps loosen debris for an easy wipe-down", the experts explained. Government advice on BBQ safety The UK Government have issued some guidelines for staying safe whilst using a barbecue: Keep a bucket of water, sand or a garden hose nearby for emergencies. Follow the safety instructions provided with your gas, charcoal, or disposable barbecue. Never use a barbecue indoors, in a tent, under an awning or in a caravan. Use enough charcoal to cover the base of the barbecue, but not more (normally around 5cms or 2 inches). Keep children, pets and garden games away from the cooking area. After cooking, make sure the barbecue is cool before moving it. Empty ashes onto bare garden soil, not into dustbins or wheelie bins. If they're hot, they can melt the plastic and cause a fire. Make sure your barbecue is well away from sheds, fences, trees, shrubs or garden waste. In the countryside or public park areas, only use disposable barbecues where there are specially designated areas and carefully follow the safety guidance. Enjoy yourself, but don't drink too much alcohol if you are in charge of the barbecue. Never use petrol or paraffin to start or revive your barbecue; use only recognised lighters or starter fuels on cold coals. "No grass? Wrap it in a damp newspaper instead. "Suitable for aluminium and stainless steel grills only." BBQ warning However, the cleaning experts revealed that there's one common cleaning hack that BBQ lovers should avoid. They revealed that it is a common myth that turning on the grill and burning off residue makes the BBQ clean. 'There is a misconception that high heat creates a clean cooking environment, but the truth is that it doesn't thoroughly clean your BBQ" they said. "Lingering grime can seriously impact both flavour and hygiene."

Love Island's Courtney Stubbs hospitalised during second pregnancy with MAFS star Jack Millar and shares confronting images after being diagnosed with shocking condition
Courtney Stubbs has been hospitalised and diagnosed with Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) - a condition that sees her struggle with severe nausea, vomiting and exhaustion. The Love Island Australia star, 27, who is expecting her second child with former Married At First Sight groom Jack Millar, 30, took to Instagram on Monday to open up about her 'rollercoaster' pregnancy, along with some confronting images. In one photo she is seen lying down in the shower and in another hooked up to an IV while in hospital. 'Wish I was here to say it has been all positivity, sunshine and rainbows but that isn't the case,' she wrote of the harsh realities of her second pregnancy. Hyperemesis Gravidarum, which affects 1 in 100 Australian women, has caused the pregnant mum to be bedridden, tired, nauseous, unable to keep food down and hospitalised multiple times. 'I can't even take care of Penelope…' she said of her first child. 'Thank god for Jack and the grandparents who have helped out.' However, the reality star assured fans that her growing baby - a little boy - was doing well despite her serious health struggles. 'Baby boy has been monitored every time and he is healthy and growing perfectly, thank goodness,' she added. 'I think I just feel useless and gutted that this is so hard on my body, that my body goes through this type of trauma whilst trying to grow another baby. 'I want what those fitness influencers have, grinding away at the gym, right as rainbows,' she added. 'It's so bitter tasting to not be experiencing pregnancy the way I feel like I'm 'suppose to".' The pregnant mum said she made the decision to open up about her pregnancy struggles in the hopes of being there for other women who are experiencing similar issues. 'I don't want anyone in my position to feel alone, or not heard,' she said. 'Although this journey isn't picture perfect like we always dreamed… it's worth it. 'Pregnancy is the hardest journey I've been through, but I can't wait to say I got through!' Friends, family and followers flooded the comments section of the post with praise and love for Courtney. Pregnant MAFS bride Domenica Calarco, who was partnered with Jack on the hit reality series' ninth season, rallied around the mum. 'You are strong, you can do this!!!!! Pregnancy is bloody hard!! So many women feel alone and you opening up like this will help immensely,' she wrote. Fellow Love Island alum Margarita Smith also offered her support for the star. 'So rough you poor thing sending so much love and strength!!' she said. A fan commiserated with the soon-to-be mum of two, saying: 'I've experienced HG with both pregnancies and second was 100x worse! Take it day by day hun. All worth it at the end!' Courtney and Jack revealed that they were expecting their second child in a sweet video posted in April this year. The pair could be seen cuddling and kissing each other and their daughter Penelope, one, as they enjoyed a picnic. They went on to say their second child was 'the final piece to our puzzle', adding that they were expecting the little bundle of joy in October 2025. The loved-up duo welcomed their daughter Penelope back in 2023. They announced the joyous news via Instagram, sharing a gallery of photos showing the pair cuddling up to their newborn baby girl at hospital and later at home. One photo showed the besotted parents posing in bed with their daughter as well Jack's dog Finn. 'Penelope June Millar. A love so magical words cannot describe! 10/11/23,' they wrote in the caption.
