5 cleaning hacks
Say goodbye to ironing
Don't have time to smooth out the wrinkles of a shirt with an iron? 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.

I make £10k a month giving women peachy bums and ‘abs for days' without surgery – I'm nicknamed the Sculpting Queen
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) NON-SURGICAL cosmetic procedures – dubbed tweakments - are experiencing a surge in the UK. A recent survey revealed a 28 per cent rise in consumer spending on procedures such as Botox, fillers and skin rejuvenation in the past two years alone, highlighting a shift towards less invasive, safer enhancements. 7 Marie McCrory has been dubbed the Sculpting Queen thanks to her non-surgical procedures Credit: Instagram @xlbootybodysculpting 7 Marie earns up to £10,000 a month transforming her clients' bodies Credit: Instagram @xlbootybodysculpting 7 Marie's client Leanne had visible abs after three sessions Credit: Supplied Researchers at University College London predict that the UK injectables market will be worth a staggering £11.7bn by next year, thanks to the treatments being available everywhere from high-end clinics to local hair salons. And for mum-of-three Marie McCrory, the emerging industry has earned her the nickname 'the Sculpting Queen' from adoring clients thanks to her jaw-dropping results. The 46-year-old, based in Bathgate, only launched her business - @xlbootybodysculpting - last year and is already raking in up to £10,000-a-month. She is fully trained in body sculpting and offers treatments including non-surgical vacuum Brazilian Bum Lifts (BBLs) and tummy sculpts - the high-street solution for women who want to blitz belly fat or boost their booty. She told Fabulous: "I've been in and out of the beauty industry since 2004, but after having my daughter at 40, I felt a strong desire to work for myself again and create something flexible, fulfilling, and empowering. "I initially retrained in aesthetics, but once I discovered body sculpting, I was hooked. "I loved that it offered real, visible results and helped clients feel confident in their own skin without surgery. "Since launching, the response has been incredible—my business has grown rapidly, and I've even expanded into teaching others how to do the same. It's been life-changing." Marie's tummy sculpt procedure helps clients lose inches of stubborn fat from their stomach area. Meanwhile, the XL Booty is dubbed a safe alternative to BBL surgery and is performed using vacuum cups which Marie promises "gives instant results from the first session". I was rushed to A&E delirious after 'botched' BBL casued blood pools inside my body - I was hours from death Marie's prices start from just £80, with block bookings available. Clients can also cheat their way to 20,000 crunches or squats without stepping foot in the gym with the EMS machine which uses electrical pulses to stimulate the muscles. And for new mums, Marie offers up a pelvic floor seat which is equivalent to 11,000 pelvic floor exercises in just 30 minutes. "It's been absolutely life-changing for ladies with bladder issues after having kids", she told us. Other specialist treatments target body hang-ups including bingo wings, bra bulge and love handles. One of Marie's clients even has "abs for days" after just three 30-minute EMS sessions on her stomach. She said: "It honestly feels amazing to be able to offer a safer, non-invasive alternative to surgery. "So many people want to enhance their bodies, but the thought of going under the knife - or travelling abroad for risky procedures - can be really daunting. "With body sculpting, clients can achieve real, visible results without the risks, downtime, or long recovery periods that come with surgery. "I love that I can help people feel more confident and empowered in their own skin in a way that's safe, accessible, and affordable. It's all about enhancing what you already have." Marie, who used to work in recruitment, revealed the demand for body sculpting "grew so quickly" that she went from barely scraping by to consistently earning five figures in just a few months. "It's been such a financial relief", she smiled. "I'm not only fully booked for treatments weeks in advance but I also launched XL Booty training academy a few months ago and it's just went crazy. "I can earn around £6,000-£10,000 per month between the treatments and training academy." And she insists that her treatments are not a lazy approach when it comes to achieving your dream body. She said: "I wouldn't call these treatments lazy. They work best if the client is on a weight loss journey or they look after themselves eating-wise and some exercise too. "Water is key. They have to drink two to three litres of water a day especially with treatments like the tummy sculpt." Glowing reviews Marie has a long list of dedicated clients on her books and has racked up glowing reviews for the procedures she offers. One customer, Jane, booked in for a tummy sculpt and said: "I can't recommend Marie at XL Booty enough! After a really rough start to the year and having surgery my body was never the same. 7 Marie is fully booked weeks in advance Credit: Instagram @xlbootybodysculpting 7 Marie's client Jane could see a difference after one tummy sculpt session Credit: Supplied "I constantly felt bloated and a lot bigger than what I was before. It made me so insecure and I hated my stomach. "I tried everything to get my body back to the way it was before - the gym, diets, anything I could but nothing seemed to work until I found Marie. "She was so helpful and guided me through what the best treatment would be for myself. "After only one appointment I saw a massive difference. I've had two appointments now and can finally say I'm starting to love my body again and it's given me my confidence back!!" Another client, Karen, booked in for the non-surgical BBL after originally considering going under the knife. She gushed: "OMG I can't say how delighted I am with the results. Marie is so professional at what she does. She makes you feel really at ease and explains the whole process in great detail. "I found it pretty painless and I never imagined the instant results would be so good. She gets a five-star from me and now I have the best bum I ever wanted." 7 Delighted XL Booty client Zara had almost considered surgery for her bum Credit: Supplied 7 But she says she's received 'so many compliments' over her non-invasive procedure Credit: Supplied Someone else who opted for the XL Booty treatment has since hailed it as the "best decision" she's ever made. The customer, Zoe, said: "I decided to go to Marie after doing some research on bum enhancements. I had considered surgery but found this quite daunting with all the things that could go wrong. "After seeing all Marie's work and how safe and non-invasive they were I decided this was the right way to go and I was not disappointed. I had immediate results with no pain whatsoever. "I would highly recommend she was so professional and explained everything she was doing from start to finish. It was definitely the best decision I made. I received so many compliments afterwards."
