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've just had a nosey at her IG, every room is grey! Her while IG looks like shes put a grey filter over every single photo.

Guacamole2506 · 30/08/2018 00:03

It would be helpful if she showed her house when it’s messy! She’s always cleaning her kitchen sink but I’ve never ever seen a bowl or a coffee cup in there yet. Surely her house must get slightly messy sometimes? It baffles me

She gets money from all the swipe up links to amazon as they're affiliate links. From watching her highlights only spotted a couple of #af

So she is doing the classic of getting all her followers to buy stuff and she gets money from that.

I do wonder about her ruining stuff too. Spraying (dilute) zoflora on a leather chair cannot be good for it.

Rosegoldlilly · 30/08/2018 07:45

Oh right so she's making it look likes it's a recommendation but it's an affiliate link for her to get money? Not good

If you click on one of the links e.g. those ugly light switch surrounds it shows frequently bought together all the items she uses so she's probably raking it in if that's what she's doing, which it appears she is as all her links are Amazon. I don't mind people doing it but think they should be honest if they are.

Think it's bizarre that she has managed to get 50,000 followers and people are claiming she's changed their lives. If you wanted to be clean and tidy you already would be, a cupboard full of zoflora and harpic isn't going to change that

BibiThree · 30/08/2018 10:54

Maybe she works on a housing development, and just films herself in the show house cleaning the already clean surfaces every day?
Obviously we never see the dirty dishes or the drains clogged with hair. To be fair, I wouldn't put that on Instagram either!

bluemascara · 30/08/2018 14:10

She got her followers all really quickly.
Like this time last week she literally had 20k now she is over 50

firehousedog1 · 30/08/2018 15:18

The thing is there are a lot better cleaning insta accounts. Actual cleaning tips on stain removal, routines, etc. She seems to have just cleverly coined up a #hashtag and now its gone viral. She seems to just do the same handfull of videos over and over again and then just fill it up with lots links to other people's videos who have included her #hashtag and are basically arse licking her. Littlemissmops, carlyjadedrake and Stepmummaclean are much better insta accounts.

Meckity1 · 30/08/2018 16:28

@BigCarrot - can you give me a link to littlemissmops please? I'm not sure of the google results I'm getting.

BigCarrot · 30/08/2018 16:40

She's @littlemissmops on Instagram, she's amazing!

Meckity1 · 30/08/2018 18:00

@BigCarrot - thank you, I really appreciate the help.

I need to raise my game when it comes to cleaning house but I don't like the sound of inflammable zoflora - I didn't even know it would burn!

bluemascara · 31/08/2018 21:15

Right she's got 60k followers now... I reckon that she's buying them. No one grows their insta account that quickly organically.
Her videos are boring as hell.
I've just unfollowed her.

BigCarrot · 31/08/2018 21:51

@bigmascara yeah it's really strange she's literally gaining a 1000 a day! I just can't see she would appeal to that many people so quickly? I've unfollowed too as seen her clean the same sink with 3 different products for the 10th time in 2 days. That and she's being dishonest about her links

bluemascara · 31/08/2018 22:37

Yeah def... it's weird like

bluemascara · 01/09/2018 09:05

I realise this makes me look unhinged an really over invested in her but I'm so irritated.
I had a quick scan through some of her followers and there are dozens of accounts with no profile pics and when you click on them they have 0 or less than 10 followers
It really looks like she's bought a shit load of these and not grown them through normal expansion as I thought
She's a phoney

PaddysMarket · 01/09/2018 09:25

I think it could be a case of when fb groups like Zoflora Addicts etc started making out she was the best thing since sliced bread a lot of people were saying they would need to join IG so they could follow her too. I did follow her but I don't know why because her videos are shite, her grey colour scheme is awful.

steff13 · 01/09/2018 09:34

Her rooms are pretty, but I can't tell if everything is really that monochromatic, or if it's a filter. It makes me feel like I need an eye exam.

BigCarrot · 01/09/2018 20:43

She's now created such a demand for a sponge that minky have run out and people are selling them on Amazon for nearly a tenner. Why?! I would genuinely like to hear from one of those who says she's changed their life and how because i can't see it apart from getting them to part with their cash for cleaning stuff they don't need. She doesn't offer any advice, or do much really except give her cloths silly names. She has resorted to cleaning her friends homes now, showing yet another video of her cleaning a sink

bluemascara · 01/09/2018 21:50

She's a bit of a dick... my skin would probably break out if I were in hour house with the sheer volume of chemicals she uses

PaddysMarket · 02/09/2018 13:49

The Zoflora groups are swooning over her, nearly every post is mentioning her name. I don't see why watching someone clean the same sink and toilet would make you run out and buy loads of cleaning material.

firehousedog1 · 02/09/2018 23:47

It's all the arse licking I cannot stand. Everyone tagging her in every menial cleaning task in the vain hope she will screenshot you in response.

MiamiLogic · 03/09/2018 00:08

It looks like a show home. No one lives there and there’s no soul. Also, tacky.

Rosegoldlilly · 03/09/2018 07:04

Yea I mean if you wanna do that as a profile it doesn't bother me. But what makes me cringe is most of her stories are #hincharmy like a little cleaning cult 😂 I don't see bloggers doing this

Pamdoo · 03/09/2018 07:04

How the hell do you get 10k followers in one day?!

Rosegoldlilly · 03/09/2018 08:40

Dunno it's all a bit odd! She keeps going on about it
