Her videos are extremely popular with social media users and she has racked up over 2.9 million followers on the video sharing platform.
“Three places you’re forgetting to clean in your home”, she said.
“Are you forgetting one of these? Or is it all three?”
Carolina explained that the first place you are probably forgetting to clean is inside the dishwasher.
As dishwashers themselves clean things, people often don’t realise that they too need cleaning.
The cleaning whizz revealed that to clean the dishwasher, you can simply place a cup full of white vinegar into it when their aren’t any dishes in there.
Then select a quick cycle, and the vinegar will clean the dishwasher without you having to do any scrubbing.
Carolina added that although the vinegar will smell quite strongly when you put it in the dishwasher, you won’t be able to smell it when the dishwasher cycle is done.
The second place that Carolina said you are probably forgetting to clean is inside your washing machine.
Similarly to the dishwasher, the cleaning pro recommended putting vinegar to the detergent tray and running the machine on a quick cycle.
Again, this will make the washing machine squeaky clean without you having to do any work.
Finally, Carolina warned that you are probably forgetting to clean is the tracks inside sliding doors.
Showing her filthy, dirt covered door tracks, Carolina shared a simple trick to clean them.
She took an empty cardboard toilet roll and squished it in half.
Then, she attached the loo roll onto the end of the hoover and placed it into the tracks, before turning the hoover on.
