But now a social media influencer known as Mrs Hinch is sharing budget tips and tricks for those mind-numbing household chores… and sending her 350,000 followers wild in the process.
Famous for her budget-friendly hacks and fun-filled Instagram stories (specifically those where she cleans her toilets to chart music), 28-year-old Sophie Hinchcliffe has inspired her self-named "Hinch Army" to get cleaning.
And while every spot of Mrs Hinch's home is virtually spotless, the kitchen sink is where the Instagram star really excels.
Specifically when it comes to deep cleaning the plug holes. Seriously, her super simple approach is nothing short of game-changing.
Speaking exclusively to Fabulous Online earlier this week, 28-year-old Sophie Hinchcliffe revealed that she can't go to sleep at night without "putting the sink to bed".
And while this nightly routine typically involves spraying down the surfaces, doing all the washing up and making sure the cloths are "settled", Sophie also has a unique approach to deep cleaning the sink.
Like kitchen plugs up and down the country, Mrs Hinch reveals that she's "had a lot of washing up liquid going down there and God knows what". What can we say, she's a girl after our own hearts.
In what is a highly addictive series of Instagram stories, Sophie firstly pours soda crystals down each plug before then rinsing it over with her favourite product of all – Zoflora disinfectant.
Asking if it's "sad" that she finds the routine "really enjoyable", Mrs Hinch then proceeds to pour boiling water over the mixture to rinse out the plug.
After this, she sprays all the surfaces with Stardrops 4-in-1 Pine disinfectant spray which savvy shoppers can pick up for just 79p in your local Poundstretcher.
Mrs Hinch then gets her coveted sparkling shine using the budget-friendly Cif Stainless Steel spray which she leaves on for 30 seconds before wiping down with her beloved "buddy" cloth.
Inspired by the super simple routine, fans have taken to Twitter to sing the praises of the kitchen sink cleaning regime.
One wrote: "Just bought a load of cleaning things due to Mrs Hinch and genuinely excited to put my sink "to bed" tonight."
Another added: "Is it sad that I want a stainless steel sink so I can clean it like Mrs Hinch?"
Super simple, budget-friendly and hugely satisfying to watch, if you're ever in need of cleaning inspiration then look no further…
