Fans of cleaning sensation Mrs Hinch (Sophie Hinchliffe)  have taken to a popular Facebook group Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips to share clever but simple ways they clean. In the group, which has more than 620,000 members - a woman named Diane asked people for advice to get tough makeup stains out of carpets.

Diane said: "I’ve got foundation on my carpet, tried all the carpet cleaners to no avail. Can anyone suggest anything please?” In response, Diane received comments from other Mrs Hinch fans to help her with the problem.

Several people praised a standard supermarket that brought shaving foam to help with the make-up spillages. One person said: "Shaving foam."

Another added: "Dishwasher tablet or shaving foam." And a third agreed: "Slightly dampen the area and apply shaving foam straight into the stain gently, rub it in with fingers or toothbrush then vaxx."

Shaving foam can be brought for as little as 95p from the popular supermarket Aldi.

The product which is most likely stashed away in your bathroom cupboard seemingly appears to be a saviour for those who are prone to a make-up mishap.
