Stacey Solomon shares hidden part of washing machine where ‘items go missing’ that people had no idea even existed
STACEY SOLOMON is the queen of keeping a gorgeous house and handing out helpful home hacks.
In her BBC show, Sort Your Life Out, the Essex presenter works with an expert team as they help families reclaim the space they lost to clutter.
In last week’s episode Stacey helped out the Fall Family; Julia, Dan and their two children.
In their hoarder’s home the clutter was piled high as well as a mountain of washing that had piled up.
One of Stacey’s colleagues, cleaning pro Iwan Carrington explained that your washing machine has a hidden compartment where “lost” items could be lurking.
He said that as you tackle your unending dirty laundry the filter on your machine can get forgotten about.
Iwan suggested cleaning the filter at least four times a year.
And there’s an added bonus as you could find money or other lost items at the same time.
He said: “When we unscrew [the filter] liquid will often come out, so pop a little towel down.
“People often say that things go missing – well this can be somewhere where you find stuff in your home.
“Looks like we have a guitar pick. A £2 coin there!
“This is one of those places you might just forget about every now and then so do check it! You never know what you might find.”
