She then concentrated on the drain using vinegar, hot water and baking soda to clear it out.

Once happy with the way her bath drained she covered the surface of the tub with more baking soda before squeezing a generous amount of dishwashing liquid on top.

The video then shows the mum scrubbing the bath with a soft sponge before ‘rinsing well’.

And people were eager to try.

‘Thanks for the amazing tips,’ one woman said – echoing the sentiment of dozens. 

‘Sis, I am going to try this and let you know what I think,’ one woman wrote on the post.

Others had questions.

‘What was the vinegar on the towels for,’ one woman asked.

Another clarified: ‘She wrapped the soaked towels around the faucets because it helps remove limescale on the metal.’  

But some weren’t convinced by the cleaner’s love for vinegar.

‘I have tried this and the vinegar just smells wrong to me,’ one woman said.

‘Agreed, I just use magic erasers and then suds up. Works great,’ another woman said.
