Here are some of Kim's top cleaning tips to embrace around your home, as she leaves an iconic cleaning legacy behind, following her death at the age of 83.
A few years ago, Kim collaborated with Poundland and created a selection of cleaning essentials.
At the time, she told the Express that cleaning with a dustpan and brush was 'essential'.
She advised: "Use a dustpan and brush, every day. This means when you're cleaning the floor, you can just sweep up any small mess and you don't have to get your vacuum out again.
"Use it for the dog's hair and crumbs from your children and even us adults."
Kim added: "Just before bed get the pan and brush and have a quick sweep up.
"It's a handy help to everyone in the home and always good to have a stiff brush.
"My new dustpan and brush are pretty in pink and will do just the job."
According to The Sun, Kim shared that you should wet your hand and run it along a feather duster before using it around your home.
This makes it slightly damp to pick up dust without it spreading.
Kim continued: 'Leave to dry then shake it out before re-using.'

5-minute fridge clean with Bicarbonate of Soda
Kim also previously told The Sun about a five-minute fridge clean she recommends 'every couple of months' using Bicarbonate of Soda: 'Once every couple of months, take all your fridge compartments out – it takes five minutes.
'Get a nice towelling cloth and some warm water. Dip it in bicarb, get cleaning and soon it's spotless.
'Do not leave your fridge for more than two months without a blitz. When you start going over that timeframe, by God, you're asking for trouble.'
Meanwhile, the TV personality once warned that if you don't clean your toaster properly, you could risk starting a fire in your kitchen.

She explained: 'Take out the tray at the bottom of your toaster at least once a week. Whip out an old newspaper and thump that toaster and the crumbs all come out.
'Then roll up the paper, dear, and throw it away. People say: 'Oh, my toaster smells of burning.' Yes, it's year-old breadcrumbs, you lazy pigs. You don't want to start a fire.'
There are many ways to clean an oven, including removing tough grease and grime, but Kim's top tip was to 'cut old towels into strips and dip in some warm soapy water with a bit of Bicarbonate of Soda'.
