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 don't think it's a too out there comment to be kind to others.
The world would do well with a bit more kindness out there. A saying I was taught when little was "if you don't have anything nice to say about someone, don't say anything at all."
Applies well on here to those bitching about decor or adverts etc. You don't like it,so what. You're entitled not to, nobody's telling you to. To come onto a national forum and bitch about someone for them in front of them for them to see, not pleasant.
See the bigger picture, she seems to be helping loads of people mentally (a couple of stories just in this thread as well) and that's a great thing.

It's a shame the 'hinch army' are hypocritical when it comes to online bullying. Poor Gemma from TOMM has had a hellish few weeks after being hounded daily by the 'army' because she has more than half a brain cell and has advised against mixing chemicals, something she was doing LONG before hinch even had a home account. It's a shame Sophie can't address her 'army' and call off the bullying towards other instagram members seeing as she has such a strong view when it comes to cyber bullying against her 🙄

sugarnotsweetener · 11/09/2018 15:18

Would like to add to my previous comment that I don’t find anything she does remotely offensive, id love to have the energy to clean my house like that but I have a newborn so it’s not happening yet, ha!

I don’t know why people are so upset about how she decides to decorate her own house or spend her own money?! Anyway ive now followed her and want to see what all these pine products smell like, who doesn’t love it when their house smells nice!

sugarnotsweetener · 11/09/2018 15:22

@shepherd88 I saw another account talking about mixing chemicals (although not called gemma) and it just came across like she was trying to discredit an account that must have been popular, I’ll now assume it was mrshinch.

Like I say this person isn’t called gemma but definitely came across as jealous of whichever “chemical mixer” they were talking about - she also has a very large following so it wasn’t nice to see.

nikkip75 · 11/09/2018 15:52

I’d like to know what Mrs Hinch thinks of “her army” (🙄) doing exactly what she is upset about in this thread.

What a lovely bunch of followers you have. They remind of those women who stand around the playground in a little clique talking about other mums.

They are bullying and trolling someone over a cleaning product. They need to get a bloody life never mind a Minkea or whatever the hell they call it. Anyone who names their dishcloths is just lost on me sorry.

SmellMyBeads · 11/09/2018 15:55

This is rather embarrassing, but my house has been a shit tip for months, I'm on various meds for mental health and I just could not get started.

I've been following Mrs H, LMM and EOK and I began my clear out and deep clean this morning. I've one room complete and another 2 cleared of rubbish. I'm skipping around the place.

I hope I can keep it up Hmm

Skyejuly · 11/09/2018 15:55

Even the worse army is used in an aggressive manor and I can get upset when several followers all joining in = thousands more plastic to deal with.

assumptionsmakeanarseofuandme · 11/09/2018 15:56

@shepherd88 do you know Gemma personally?

I did notice last night that Gemma had to post asking for it to come to an end, and asked Sophie to do the same and pass on to her followers but can't see that she has passed it on yet?

BuntyII · 11/09/2018 16:06

I don't have IG so don't know Mars Hinch but I do follow The Organised Mum. What are all the accusations of bullying and videos of people crying all about? Something to do with Zoflora?? Confused you really shouldn't mix zoflora with bleach or put it in your washing machine. Or use it on anything ever actually because it smells like your granny's loo.

TheDogAteMyPants · 11/09/2018 16:10

No idea who she is, but I’ve just searched on IG. Her house may be clean and tidy, but god it’s BLAND.

nikkip75 · 11/09/2018 16:13

You have put me of ever using zoflora again 😂 it does actually smelly like grannies!

I just can’t believe there’s women attacking eachother on the internet over cleaning. Seriously if you maybe followed the people you follow you wouldn’t have time to be trolling 🤷‍♀️

3and44 · 11/09/2018 16:43

I’m sorry you thought my comment was ridiculous. We’re you never taught if you have nothing nice to say keep quiet? Obviously not as you don’t have anything nice to say and you didn’t keep quiet. Manners cost nothing. Not abusing people on an online forum is not reflective of the 1950s way of life, although I’m sure manners back then were far better. If a housewife in the 50s was told Mrs Hinch up the road cleaned her sink 4 times a day I doubt she’d pop round and give her a mouthful but that’s exactly what is happening here.
Be kind, be thoughtful. Behaviour breeds behaviour.

Jaysus, the irony is strong in this comment! The whole thread started off on that vein - gossipy, critical, bitchy.
Yes, some of the replies on here did seem to go a bit bitchy from some of the followers, but so the fuck what? It's only doing the exact same as those criticising her!
Hate gaggly bitchiness whatever side it's coming from.

rainbowsandsmiles · 11/09/2018 17:30

I think her decor's lovely - understated and minimal. Some like busy patterns or bright colours, I don't. Each to their own.

Lollypop27 · 11/09/2018 17:39

What’s happened with TOMM and Mrs hinch then? I saw on insta that Gemma was asking Mrs Himch to contact her as she has never said anything bad about her.

You know what? I think you've made a really good point there. Yes,people are entitled to their opinions, but putting your comments out onto a huge parenting forum is basically the modern age's version of standing in her back garden with your mates in earshot of her saying things like "don't like her decor" "people who clean don't have a life" - you just wouldn't do it,would you? hopefully not

Exactly!!! Hurray!!! Finally lol. Just because we don’t have actual faces on these types of forums people think it’s ok to have two. It’s no better than being in the 4th year a high school and having to walk past the super cool 5th year girls and listen to their taunts and snide comments knowing you can do nothing about it.
Everyone should just leave it in the school yard and go do some cleaning instead 😂

nikkip75 · 11/09/2018 17:52

Rainbow and smiles I agree the whole post on both sides is bitchy!

So why can’t the woman they are all defending stand up to these women and tell them what they are doing is childish, disgusting and downright bullying just like some women on here were doing to her?

Pamdoo · 11/09/2018 18:02

I don't think it's anything to do with Sophie. A few weeks back TOMM posted some videos on using products safely, and said some people were not using them properly, the hinch army took it that she was talking about Sophie, as she posted some eyerolling responses and have been harassing TOMM. Now it's got out of hand so think she's just had enough.

rainbowsandsmiles · 11/09/2018 18:08

I agree, could do with doing a bit more cleaning here Grin

**What’s happened with TOMM and Mrs hinch then? I saw on insta that Gemma was asking Mrs Himch to contact her as she has never said anything bad about her.

The organized Mum reiterated some advice on not mixing chemicals or spraying certain chemicals on fabrics brocade it can reduce the fire retardant properties of them. Mrs Hinch’s henchmen went a bit mad and attacked the organized mum.

rainbowsandsmiles · 11/09/2018 18:16

On a lighter note, I found myself wandering the cleaning aisle in Home Bargains earlier for the first time everrr eyeing up the different Zofloras. Grin

TheDogAteMyPants · 11/09/2018 18:51

Rainbows there’s no personality in it at all. Just nothing. Even her kids bedrooms are the same. The only colour on her feed is from the cleaning products. Anodyne.
