Don't get me wrong she seems like a lovely lady and does have some useful tips but AIBU to think she cleans alot and often. As a single mum I don't hardly have anytime during the day to do this amount of cleaning! Now it's making me feel bad that I don't clean this much 😂

I’d like to think these are just random people but I have a strong feeling a few other cleaning / organising pages are on a mission and a jealous one at that.

Hmm

Just for the record, I hate cleaning and I have never in my life been jealous of someone whose vocation is cleaning, however wonderful it might be for them.

The very thought of being suspected of running a rival cleaning Instagram. Grin

Thebasicweegie · 07/09/2018 13:19

Don't like her don't watch her - simple as that! The messages she's posted from people who have suffered from depression and anxiety and she's been able to help are amazing. That should be applauded in itself. Would love to see inside some of these people's cleaning cupboards to see if they are all eco friendly! When companies start making budget friendly - eco friendly products then great. But for now I will stick to my £1 bargains in my hinch haul!

rainbowsandsmiles · 07/09/2018 13:22

I can see why people love it. The hashtags are going to be promoting growth too, such as #mrshinchmademedoit - brilliant. As a previous poster said, it's all massive joint engagement.

The messages she's posted from people who have suffered from depression and anxiety

What did I miss? I though it was a cleaning tips page?

rainbowsandsmiles · 07/09/2018 13:34

I've seen a few messages and comments along the lines of saying that she'd inspired and motivated them to clean, when they'd been doing the bare minimum and just about muddling through life. Cheering them up etc.
I think that's great. Her stories look so positive and happy - lovely house, upbeat music in the background on some as she goes along - I'm a new fan off the back of this thread, so it's done some good. Grin

Nataliek1990 · 07/09/2018 13:40

I can assure u she does live there as one of her best friends I’m round there a lot

cleanmad · 07/09/2018 13:51

Have any of you even followed her? Or followed her for a period of time because you see her, Mr Hinch and The dog all living in the home😂

You see muddy paw prints, washing up and washing. She just keeps on top of it all so it’s not dirty.

JessicaPeach · 07/09/2018 13:55

I follow her, I find her really funny. I’m not really in it for the cleaning because I don’t think I’ve ever seen her clean anything that started off dirty! She seems like a nice person, I’d like to see her be a bit more transparent about the affiliate links etc as that is my pet Instagram hate. They should be clearly marked every time they are used, not just once. Not marking them has made me want to unfollow and I’ve seen her flushing a wipe too which had my finger hovering over the unfollow button. She must be on a steep learning curve with this influencer stuff, I hope she gets some good advice.

WhatsthematteryouHEY · 07/09/2018 14:06

I don't follow her, I'm just intrigued by IG in general and she's a bit of a phenomenon by the sounds of it. I kind of wish I was into cleaning though after reading how she has inspired people. I don't think that's ever going to happen though, no matter how many times I watch someone wiping their loo clean.

She's had some good feedback on this thread as well, despite what some people say (wtf is a salty bitch by the way?). I sincerely doubt however that there are any rival cleaning accounts posting on here just to bring her down Grin

Mariaslimming · 07/09/2018 14:09

Wow as mums aren’t we meant to be showing a good example to our kids, ie not slagging people off on social media. It’s classed as a form of bullying. Schools are continuously trying to teach kids to respect others and not use social media as a right to bully someone and there’s you guys who are suppose to be parents sitting here writing hurtful comments about someone that you don’t know. If you don’t agree with what she’s doing or how she’s decorated HER Home then don’t follow her, it’s that simple!!!! Show an example to your kids!!!!!

Nataliek1990 · 07/09/2018 14:15

She doesn’t buy them at all I’m one of her best friends and she is as shocked as everyone else for getting the amount of followers she has she’s a real person the house is certainly real I’m always round there u must be really sad to even bother writing negative comments

WhatsthematteryouHEY · 07/09/2018 14:20

I show a good example to my kids by encouraging independent thought.

There are a lot of positive comments on here as well as a few more critical comments (none I would class as bullying Confused). The intensely devoted fans she is attracting to her account is something I would want professional help with from an experienced social media expert, if I was in her shoes.

MrsMotherHen · 07/09/2018 14:24

wow Sorry but this is bullshit get a grip there is no bullying going on people are just voicing their opinions and mine is.....

All them chemicals is outrageous! what happened to good hot water and bit of soapy bubby stuff! Sorry but the house does look souless and a little tacky if am honest but am an old lady at heart and love character and antiques and yes i 100% agree that is just not possible if you have small children.

Mariaslimming · 07/09/2018 14:35

Calling someone you don’t even know a dick on a mums net thread is bullying. I just hope you never have to read anything like that being written about yourself or your kids on a social media platform.

WhatsthematteryouHEY · 07/09/2018 14:38

That's really not bullying. It's not nice, and I wouldn't like to read someone say that about me (I'm sure people have said worse about me Grin) but it's really not bullying.

Thesearmsofmine · 07/09/2018 14:42

I find her quite funny. It looks like natural growth to me but she has been clever/had good advice on using hashtags to get herself seen.

Her house isn’t to my taste and I wouldn’t use the amount of chemicals she uses BUT she does make me laugh.

rainbowsandsmiles · 07/09/2018 14:51

No nastiness then you get comments following like soulless and tacky. Well, that's lovely, isn't it, no cattiness here... Grin Hmm
I've just been watching her stories and then cleaned the bathroom. Bath's shiny, even got the stubborn mark off! I think I luffs her. If she can get me inspired to clean, she's a miracle worker lol.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 07/09/2018 14:52

This whole ‘as mums’ thing is getting very tiresome indeed.
As a mother you ought to do this or that, or indeed clean all day.
Are mums held to higher standards? What about dads? What do they get away with that mums won’t? Or my other favourite, ladies.

It’s such a misogynist nonsense. Same as the women supporting women malarkey.

cleanmad · 07/09/2018 14:54

Honestly you all really need to get a grip.
I can bet all of you use multiple chemicals on a daily basis. If she’s not to your taste then move the fuck along. There’s no need to post a thread about her if you don’t like her.

Congratulations on starting a thread / commenting on a thread to knock someone down. I’m sure your children will be proud.

And it is 100% possible to do with small children. I keep my house tidy, clean and I follow Mrs Hinchs tips. My child isn’t neglected, he is loved, clean and happy. He also has a clean home.

#allthebest #mrshinchmademedoit

rainbowsandsmiles · 07/09/2018 14:54

Who's saying women should indeed clean all day?! Don't be daft. If she's inspiring people, good on her! She's hardly forcing anyone, no one has to watch her! Looks to me like she's doing what she likes doing and having fun with it too.

Pamdoo · 07/09/2018 15:56

Ironic the only people coming on here shouting and swearing are the ones saying people aren't entitled to an opinion and saying it's bullying. Also amusing that you're saying we're wasting our time bothering to come on here and have a discussion yet you're bothering to come on here to moan about it.

What is the obsession with everyone assuming everyone is a mum? I am a mum, not that it's relevant, and I'll be teaching my son it's absolutely fine to not be a sheep and he can have an opinion, and that it doesn't make him a bully for having one. The only bullying going on here is from those trying to bully people into not having a voice by insulting their parenting skills.

Yet again, another Instagram account where the followers like to gang up and defend someone they don't even know, preaching about bullying when in fact their retaliation is so much worse.

NotExactlyHappyToHelp · 07/09/2018 16:00

Jeez everyone’s entitled to their opinion Hmm.

I’d never heard of Mrs Hinch until this thread but I looked her up and I thought she was entertaining and good fun. She motivated me to clean my minging fridge out too.

However this onslaught of people coming on to tell everyone they’re not allowed to express anything other than a glowing opinion of her is pretty annoying.

You like her? Great. Carry on.

Other people don’t? So what?

Dbibb · 07/09/2018 16:17

Christ, at it again with your slander and your abuse, everyone who is abusing her simply looks pathetic and jealous.
FYI it is possible to have a clean tidy house with children so stop using your kids as an excuse to live in a pig sty 😂
Grow up get off the internet and start doing something worth while.
Maybe if you put your mind to things you would achieve something worth talking about

cleanmad · 07/09/2018 16:19

Everyone has their own opinions.

But this thread is full of nasty comments about her house, her following and her family. Her mum will read this. Her partner will read this. There’s having your opinion and then there’s slating someone/their home/their following.

If she’s not to your taste then don’t follow her. There isn’t a need for a whole negative thread about her. It knocks a persons confidence. It can be upsetting and when you’ve worked hard for a home for people to then spend the whole thread running it down is nasty.

You can still be polite and nice while having your opinion.

The site is called “mums net” which is why everyone talks about mums...

Ollivander84 · 07/09/2018 16:27

It's not abusing her. It's just pointing out that mixing chemicals is dangerous, wipes aren't great if you use that many, and you don't need 40 sprays of products on something that's fairly clean anyway
To wipe my sink and clean it takes one spray of something. Or a blob of shampoo, or soap and some hot water
