Cleaning enthusiasts heaped on the praise for a handy item that is sure to become an essential in your caddy.
The buy was shared in a Facebook group dedicated to Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips.
Sharing a picture of fabric cleaning wipes, one impressed poster wrote: "These!!!! Currently £1.25 a pack in M&S. They are a life saver!"
The M&S customer went on to detail her experience with the Stain Removing Wipes.
"I've used on several tops which have had the dreaded spaghetti bolognase sauce on," the Facebook user revealed.
She summed up the results by saying she would "highly recommend" the item to other parents.
Other cleaning fans added their thoughts on the wipes in the comments section.
"And they smell lush," wrote one impressed person.
"I've seen loads of good reviews about them," agreed another Facebook user.
"These wipes are a life changer for holidays, used them for a couple of years, best stain wipes ever," said a third cleaning fan.
Mrs Hinch loves it but it's the most toxic cleaning product ever… I've seen it do so much damage & I'm a pro cleaner
"I wouldn't be without these, they are amazing!" commented another buyer.
Another homeowner pointed out that the wipes are "great on carpets and car seats too".
Fabulous has tried and tested some of the top stain remover hacks out there so you don't have to.
The M&S wipes tackled everything from tomato sauce to stubborn oil stains.
Instead of reaching for baby wipes to clean up your little one's mess, upgrade to these budget buys.
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.

How to find the perfect DD+ dress for summer Looking for the perfect summer dress to fit your bigger bust? Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale has the perfect solution. Looking for the perfect summer dress to fit your bigger bust? Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale has the perfect solution. Finding a dress that flatters your bigger bust can be hard, often dresses can leave your bra showing, squash your bust and just be ill fitting in general. However, there are a few things you can look out for that will make dress shopping easier. A V-neck is a really flattering neckline as it gives your chest some more space, however, don't discount a square neck also, not only is this a trendy neckline, but will also give your bust the room it needs. Empire line fits are also super flattering, you just need to make sure they fall underneath the bottom of your bra, that way your bust will sit nicely before the rest of the dress skims your body. Wrap style dresses are also a great option but just make sure to look for an added popper detail, so that you don't have to use a safety pin to hold the dress in place and stop your bra from showing. Extra shirring detail on the back will also give the dress more room for stretch around your chest. And if you're looking for a backless dress then make sure there is one with a tie detail at the back that means you can still wear a bra. If all that sounds like something you're interested in then here at Fabulous we have created a collection specifically designed for DD+ boobs that ticks all of these boxes. Check it out here at

I'm TV's Queen of Clean & swear by 1p Tesco bargain to stop your bins from smelling in hot weather

The QUEEN of Clean has revealed the 1p Tesco hack she swears by to stop your bin from stinking during hot weather. Britain has been baking in blistering heat this week, with the Met Office predicting sunny days to be twice as likely as usual this summer. 3 And whilst the hot weather is a welcome treat for tan-happy Brits, it also comes with its fair share of downsides. Balmy temperatures can often lead to household bins smelling, as leftover foods decompose quicker, leading to unpleasant odours. Thankfully, Lynsey Crombie, known for her appearances on ITV 's This Morning has revealed that you can banish unwanted stenches from your bin simply by using a 1p hack. The Queen of Clean revealed that she relies on Cif Infinite All in One Cleaner Spray to carry out the essential household task. "A spray under the lid and around the rim helps tackle bad smells, fast", the cleaning whizz revealed. The Cif product is currently on sale at Tesco, Sainsbury's and Waitrose for £4 for a 280 ml bottle. According to Cif, each bottle contains 2800 sprays, meaning that each spray costs just 1p. And it's not only bins that can be cleaned with the budget-friendly cleaning spray. Lynsey also relies on the spray to clean her toilet lid, seat and base. "It's easy to forget the bits you don't see - like the base of your loo", she said. Lynsey Queen of Clean shares her tips on how to get rid of ants "A quick spray around the seat, lid and base gives a hygienic clean that keeps working long after you flush." The spray is also perfect for giving your smelly car a quick refresh. "Car smelling a bit… lived in?", Lynsey said. "Lightly mist the seats or floor mats to cut through odours (always spot-test first!). 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. Head to her Instagram pages for more cleaning information @ missmasoncleaning @ daniellemasonuk "It leaves a fresh, clean scent without any scrubbing." And Lynsey also swears by the cleaning spray for keeping bathroom taps and chrome fixtures sparkling. "This spray brings back the shine to taps, shower heads and metal handles. "Say goodbye to water spots and fingerprints!" Finally, the cleaning pro explained that the spray is her secret weapon for the family sofa. "Fabric sofas take a lot of daily wear", she said. "Between deep cleans, you can mist over cushions to keep things fresh and inviting."
