This sink trick will help your home smell fresh and clean (Image: Getty) I used to watch Mrs Hinch disinfecting her loo before she appeared on This Morning. Since then, I have watched her Instagram account grow, and not to mention her family and home. I have followed the cleaning addict as she scoured her way into my heart with her down-to-earth approach to life and love of all things beige (it used to be grey).

She has many tips and tricks I have loved and used over the years but one 10p trick makes my home smell amazing. Before saying goodnight to her kitchen, Mrs Hinch would pour a cap of Zoflora in the sink and pour boiling water from the kettle over it. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.



createElement('script');el.setAttribute('src','https://live.primis.

tech/live/liveView.php?s=114945&playerApiId=v114945');document.getElementById('ovp-primis').

appendChild(el)}window.top.addEventListener('primisPlayerInit',e=>{try{if(e.

detail&&e.detail.playerApiId==="v114945"){if(window.

document.getElementsByClassName('jwplayer')[0]){e.detail.

float('disable')}}}catch(e){}});window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded',()=>{setTimeout(()=>{if(typeof flagTcfLoaded!=='undefined'&&flagTcfLoaded===!0){loadOvpScript()ExpressApp.Log('[Load] OVP flagTcfLoaded',new Date())}else{document.

addEventListener("tcfLoaded",()=>{loadOvpScript()ExpressApp.Log('[Load] OVP tcfLoaded',new Date())})}},1500)}) Not only does this give the sink and pipe a good hot clean, as Zoflora promises to kill 99% of bacteria and viruses, but it also allows the beautiful, fresh fragrance to fill the kitchen for hours later.

All you need to do is after you have finished the dishes and have cleaned your sink out, pour a cap (you don't even need a full cap as it is very concentrated) of disinfectant around the basin rather than straight down the plughole. Then, I used the extra boiling water in my kettle left over from making a brew, because someone is always making tea in our house, and poured that carefully around the basin and into the plughole, reports the Mirror . And that's it, and this means when you wake up in the morning, your house smells of fresh flowers, sweetpeas in my case.

Take care not to put more than a capful of Zoflora as it can be too overpowering. Don't miss..

A 500ml bottle of Zoflora ranges in price depending on the shop and fragrance, but you can get it for around £5 (or cheaper) making 10ml, which is more than enough for the sink, works out at 10p a capful.

You can currently get the 'linen fresh' version, another favourite of mine, for £4.05 from Amazon, making it around 8p per cap. Trending I also like to add a tiny splash to the bottom of my bin before putting the bag in to help mask any unpleasant smells.

Zoflora's 'sweetpea' fragrance also comes as handy antibacterial wet wipes, disinfectant spray and toilet rim block. And if you are looking for an alternative, Fabulosa also has a range of scents in concentrate disinfectants..
