MY THREE LITTLE-KNOWN CLEANING SECRETS 

1. The best secret cleaning agent is denture tablets. These tablets can be used to whiten toilets and clothes as well as bathroom sinks.

2. It’s easy to make cleaning more fun by playing your favourite music while you clean. To make cleaning enjoyable, I ask the Amazon Echo Show 15, to play my 10 minute “cleaning” playlist. Surprised at how much cleaning you can do?

3. Soda water can quickly be used to clean up red wine spillages. You can quickly remove it from clothing or carpets with soda water.

ORGANISATION MAGNET 

Our weeks are often a maze of work commitments and family obligations. Our Amazon Echo Show 15 has been an absolute game changer at our house, and helps us stay organised during the week. 

We have customized our screen so that I see my shopping lists and to-dos lists while sipping morning tea. Our family calendar also helps me keep track of all the kids activities, important dates and appointments. 

Chantel gained millions of views and her followers grew to the hundreds of thousands. As she shared more about her home and cleaning tricks, she became a popular social media influencer. Soon she could make a career of it. 

The cleaning and organization guru now relies on the support of her followers to help keep her home tip-tops coming.
