If you don't have a Poundland store nearby, plenty of other retailers are selling the hair must-have too, such as Savers and B&M - there's really no need to fork out for fancy ones. However, you should be careful to not wash any delicate items, such as silks or woollens - as the hack could damage these garments, one woman recently warned. However, other than these, the rollers work wonders when they're put in the drum. Sharing the game-changer of a hack online, Sarah also uploaded two snaps of the rollers - and the jaw-dropping ball of hair that came out of them. ''The lady that said about Velcro rollers in the washing machine for pet I'm ashamed,'' she chuckled in the caption of the post. Doctor shares why you must never wash clothes at 90 or 40 degrees & the right temperature for 'everything but gym gear' ''Works a treat! Thank you.'' Replying to other fans of Mrs Hinch, Sarah also said: ''These are Poundland cheap Velcro ones. ''They haven't pulled mine (clothes) ..i'm guessing the Velcro isn't as strong as ones purchased from Boots.'' 10 Grossest Areas People Forget to Clean By Danielle Mason, who has 20 years of experience Under and Behind the Fridge Crumbs, dust, and spills accumulate over time, attracting pests and creating bad odours. Shower Curtain & Liner These collect mildew and soap scum but are often overlooked. Wash or replace them regularly to keep your bathroom fresh. Toothbrush Holder One of the germiest places in the bathroom, filled with bacteria and toothpaste residue. Rinse and disinfect it weekly. Dishwasher Filter Food particles and grease build up, leading to unpleasant smells and reduced efficiency. Remove and clean the filter every few weeks. Washing Machine Seal The rubber gasket traps mould, mildew, and detergent buildup. Wipe it down with white vinegar and leave the door open to air dry. Light Switches and Remote Controls Touched daily but rarely cleaned, making them germ hotspots. Wipe them down with disinfectant regularly. Under the Sofa Cushions Crumbs, dust, and even lost items hide in the cracks. Remove the cushions and vacuum thoroughly. Kitchen Sink & Plughole Food residue builds up, causing bad odours. Pour boiling water, bicarbonate of soda, and vinegar down the drain to freshen it. Ceiling Fans Dust piles up on the blades and gets redistributed into the air when turned on. Use a microfibre cloth or pillowcase to clean them easily. Doormats They trap dirt and bacteria from shoes but are rarely washed or vacuumed. Shake them out weekly and deep clean them every month.

A dog lover chimed in: ''I've got 5 spaniels….this is a game changer.'' Someone else was also keen to give the hack a go, writing: ''I'm definitely trying that. We've got 4 cocker spaniels.''
