Lenor's Crease Releaser makes wrinkles vanish - simply hang up creased items, give them a quick spritz and smooth against a hard surface. 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. And be warned, tougher stains such as grass may require a little more elbox grease.

Credit: Getty 4 Cleaning fans are praising soda crystals for its ability to remove sun cream stains Credit: Dri-Pak Sun cream can often leave harsh stains on clothes that are a challenge to remove - but luckily for you, cleaning enthusiasts have sworn by a £2 trick that will remove the sticky stuff from even the whitest of outfits this summer. And don't worry if you're on a budget, as thankfully you may already have the secret at home. It comes after a woman posted on Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips, a private Facebook group with 622,800 members, and wrote: "I know this has been asked many times, but I can't remember the answer. 'Sorry to be a pain, but could someone tell me how to get the yellow effect sun lotion leaves on white T-shirts out, please?" Advertisement Numerous social media users eagerly raced to the comments to share their handy tips and tricks, with the common solution being to use soda crystals, which can be picked up from most supermarkets. One person simply advised: "Soak in soda crystals." Whilst another added: "I use Milton and soda crystals. Soak overnight, then wash, dry outside in the sun." If you fancy giving this trick a try, you'll be pleased to know that you can find the large bags of Dri-Pak Soda Crystals from Asda, Sainsbury's and Savers, for just £2 a bag. Advertisement To use soda crystals to banish stains, you'll first of all need to grab a clean cloth and blot the stain gently. Then, sprinkle the soda crystals onto the stain and let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes. The £1.25 buy parents are swearing by to get rid of stains in seconds, and it works on everything from pen to ketchup Following this, you can apply a small amount of dish soap, which you should massage in gently and then let sit for five to 10 minutes. Once you've done this, rinse the garment under warm water and then wash the item as normal. Advertisement The importance of sun cream in your skincare routine Dermatologist and skincare enthusiast Andrea Suarez - known as Dr Dray - revealed why you should wear suncream. The one thing you can do that will make the biggest difference - and this matters for all ages - is protecting your skin from the sun, Andrea stressed. "The vast majority of external aging is due to exposure to ultraviolet radiation," she continued, not because you're "not using some jazzy serum or layering 90 different things on your face everyday". "If you're not doing in your 20s, get on that now." But she said the use of sun cream alone doesn't go far enough. Andrea urged that you also wear sun-protective clothing like broad-brimmed hats and long sleeves, on top of not staying out too long in the sun. Doing this over your lifetime - and all year, not just during the summer or on sunny days - "will reduce the visible signs of photoageing", Andrea said. Those are wrinkles, muddled pigmentation and sagging skin. Not only did many rave about using soda crystals to banish stains, but other commenters suggested the woman try covering the stain in washing-up liquid. As well as this, cleaning fans also claimed that white vinegar does the trick. I use Milton and soda crystals. Soak overnight, then wash, dry outside in the sun Facebook user One user posted: "Distilled white vinegar and baking soda. Leave to soak and then rub original fairy liquid into the area. "You have to get the yellowing, protein and the oil out, and all three of these will do this." Advertisement Meanwhile, a second recommended: "White vinegar. Spray on, leave for a while, then wash in bio detergent. Try and hang outside in the sun." Unlock even more award-winning articles as The Sun launches brand new membership programme - Sun Club

It comes as someone posted a picture in the Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips Facebook group of a marked shower screen asking for tips on how to clean a shower. Although various cleaning products were recommended, including Viakal and white vinegar, most included a mention of Fairy washing-up liquid, which currently costs 99p at Aldi for an original 0.32l bottle. This person suggested: 'Rinse aid and fairy liquid and a hard scrubbing brush then use window cleaner and a squeegee xx.' One commented: 'Washing up liquid and a non scratch pad. Then glass cleaner with a glass cloth no need to use strong stuff like viakal.' Another user who also didn't recommend Viakal 'on large areas' wrote: 'I use white vinegar and washing up liquid in the sponge handle cleaner. Viakal initially but I personally avoid using viakal on large areas and use on silver taps for shine, only because of the strong smell.' 'I leave white vinegar on for 20minutes then do a standard fairy up liquid wash with a sponge, rinse and dry with paper,' added this Facebook profile.
