Mum-of-five Stacey Solomon shares how to banish thick grease from your ovens – and the £4 Amazon buy to keep it spotless

IN tonight’s episode of Sort Your Life Out, we saw Stacey Solomon share her favourite tricks to clean and transform your home on a budget.

This week, the 33-year-old TV star set out to help the Clarks based in Cambridgeshire – home to a family-of-five who moved from the States to a much smaller house here, in the UK.

Despite living in smaller conditions, the trainer-obsessed family brought all their possessions that are now squeezed into three bedrooms and a living room.

Armed with fellow cleaning fanatics, Stacey, who recently gave birth to her fifth child, embarked on a mission to help the parents and four children to get rid of years worth of clutter.

Amongst the impressive collection of items were piles of footwear, a never-ending stream of toys the mum couldn’t let go of, as well as gaming consoles.

Whilst working their way through the clutter, Stacey and her mates also shared a few handy cleaning hacks.

How to deep clean your oven

The US pair loves their Turkey feasts – but this has left the oven full of burnt stains.

To tackle these, one of the gurus advised to start by removing the glass panel of your oven.

Once removed, use an all-cleaning purpose paste – these work like a charm, as they’re abrasive.

For harder bits that are more challenging to remove, use a scraper – but be careful to not ruin the glass.

Whilst sharing the recommendations, the whizz also suggested an affordable trick that will save you both time and money in the future – an oven liner.

This nifty little kitchen staple is available both in supermarkets, such as Sainsbury’s, as well as online, for instance, Amazon, where a pack of two retails for a little under £8.

Banish the smell from your trainers

Spring has finally arrived, which means it’s time to ditch the winter boots and bring out your trainers.

But if yours have a funky smell, there’s no need to race to bag a new pair – an easy hack will banish the unpleasant aroma with no effort.

According to Stacey’s cleaning team, the answer can be found in your kitchen – the freezer.

For this, simply remove the insoles and place them in plastic bag before chucking it inside your freezer for between 24 to 48 hours – this will kill the nasty bacteria which causes the reek.

DIY side table

Whilst redecorating the family’s house, Stacey also demonstrated how she made a trendy-looking side table using… two bread bins.

”For a cheap, clever storage solution, I’m going to attach two bread bins together using some legs we just found online.”

To give it a more luxe feel, the savvy DIY fanatic started by painting the wooden items – she had opted for colour white.

Use three feet and place one of them across both bins in the middle – and voila, your side table is all ready.
