Mrs Hinch 2

[Booie09]

I don't get why people stockpile cleaning stuff! I have 1 bottle Zoflora, 1 bleach , 1 Mr Muscle bathroom cleaner, 1 Mr Muscle window cleaner, 1 bottle of fairy liquid! Would rather have money sitting in my bank instead of my cupboard.

I've recently started following Lyndsey Queen of Clean on Insta who I've fallen in love with a little bit! She's a bit potty but great

I agree my kitchen is a mess but I’d rather eat properly than clean and eat takeout every night

This thread is so incredibly bitchy

Smacks of jealousy to be honest

It really pisses me off when people boil the nuances of a discussion down to simple jealousy. There are thousands of over emotions, motives, reasons, attitudes, than just jealousy. Jealousy not every single human beings go to response.

People might dislike grey. That’s not jealousy, that’s preference.
People might avoid mixing chemicals. That’s not jealousy that’s common sense.
People might have messier houses. That’s not jealousy either, that’s personal circumstance.
People might cook from scratch. That’s not jealousy but an enjoyment of food and a satisfaction of seeing your family eat something you took time to prepare.

“You’re just jealous” is such a simple way of looking at things.

Welcome to Mumsnet, @nethun1.

What are we jealous of?

To assume jealousy is too simplistic.
For me I care about the environment so someone like hinch dsnt sit well with me.
It’s not bitchy to have an opinion. This thread is for discussing things.
I am not so big into social media and I find it very cringe most of the time so I simply could not have the emotion of jealousy it does not come with looking at someone cleaning a sink.
If anything I feel sad that a young woman that seems to have gotten caught up in something so false.
She’s clinging to her army.
They are not her friends but she’s placing so much of her life on this in fact it’s taken over her life.
Sitting on sm all day everyday is not healthy.
And correct me if I’m wrong does she ever have a day where she turns her phone off and spends it doing something else. Not that I have seen. I think she is a lovely woman but it’s not going to last and she does need to prepare for that. Have a back up.

I'm not jealous of Mrs Hinch. I'm suspicious, and that's where the desire to discuss comes from.

The suspicion comes from her having a 1 million strong captive audience drinking in her advice on mixing cleaning chemicals, over use of single use wipes, single use plastic (ie bottles). I'm finding it irresponsible and it makes me uncomfortable that someone promoting such environmental damage has grown so successful on instagram so quickly.

Not in the slightest bit jealous, I know nothing of the woman to be jealous about, other than the few pics I've seen of her house! Anyone could have a grey home, but I personally would be very depressed in a home without colour!
My main issue too however is with the completely irresponsible promotion of activities that are so bad for the environment. It actually infuriates me and so I'll take any opportunity to speak against it!

As Instagram becomes bigger and more controlled I feel you can’t speak out about anything tbh without being labelled a hater or jealous. Feels pointless.

Bitchy? Jealous? No, concerned about her slapdash attitude to the environment. Her lack of awareness is shocking given how much info and news there is surrounding the issue out there. But that requires reading newspapers and watching actual news on the tv or listening to it on the radio. And that's before we even start on the health aspects of the billion chemicals her, her husband and dog are breathing in every day and people are copying her. So no, definitely not jealous

It's as if you want to pull her apart. Which you do often, with others. I used to defend MN (I've Ben here a while actually) but lately you're indefensible. It's bullying.

So, what you're saying is it's bullying to mention concerns about Mrs Hinch mixing chemicals? There are no scientific facts to back up that concern, it's just people wanting to tear her apart.

Did you do Chemistry in school?

I've namechanged, so as not to hide behind my username as some do.

This is who I am. This is my Instagram handle. I'm a real person but I'm not Mrs Hinch.

I stand by my opinion that this, an entire thread dedicated to a woman on Instagram that you've never met, is bullying. It's uncomfortable to read.

I've followed her for ages, I watch her stories. I know in my logical brain I'm not going to go out and buy 3000 wipes and 40 bottles of toilet cleaner. I agree with the views on plastic but as the mother of a tube fed child, I'm already wincing daily at the amount of medical equipment I have to discard (I'm not allowed to recycle it, I've asked). I also doubt Mrs Hinch is solely responsible for the plastic in the oceans, lets attack the large corporations for a change, how many of you buy happy meal plastic crap??

The entire 1million followers are not following suit. She just makes me laugh. I can separate it from real life and real cleaning practice.

I also follow TOMM, I hate that she's been bullied by 'hinchers' - I think Mrs H should have spoken out against that.

As it happens, I was cleaning like Mrs Hinch long before it became a thing! I ruined my paintwork spraying my sofa with lenor mixture.

Yes she's had PR behind her, that's obvious. Yes, it's been orchestrated. Yes, she cleans things that are already clean.. is there any need to drag it out for two threads? It really does come across as bitchy!

'Did you do chemistry in school'

• see what I mean? Nasty.

I did actually. I aced it. I don't mix cleaning products. But this thread is way more than you watching out for her safety and you know it.

yes, you're totally right. Lets not debate or question anything, just keep clicking on those affiliate links.

Is it Instagram influencer? Is that the right term? I'll go with that although it may be wrong Surely it's the right thing to do to make sure you are giving responsible info. She could still be her, have the same personality, make people laugh by being more environmentally conscious couldn't she?

She could yes. I agree. But so could everyone who shops at Primark who are exploiting humans for their £2 vest tops or McDonalds and their ridiculous straw banning while still giving out plastic toys that go straight to landfill but you don't appear to be firing at them.

I like biscuits, keep them coming 

digestives or jaffa cakes? To be honest, I'm not looking to fall out with anyone, too much going on in my own life right now. I'm just not keen on reasoned debate continually getting labelled as bullying. But I know what you mean about a whole thread being aimed at one particular person.

Talking about someone who made themselves a public figure is not bullying . It’s called a discussion you put your life out there and people will have an opinion . She begged for followers to get her to a million she even wanted the attention when she was in hospital . So don’t give me bullying she is the one to put herself out there. She doesn’t see herself as non celeb as she even applied for the blue tick to confirm she is a public figure .

I make stories in the hospital. It's honestly not for attention, it's distraction and to feel less alone.

She may have wanted 1million followers, she may want to be a celeb but where's the 1500 posts pulling all the other celebs down?

I've a good eye for fakery. She sounds like she's having a great time to me. And good for her!

The only issue I have is that TOMM has suffered for it, that needs addressing. The army needs calling off. The rest of it? Crack on love. I'm sure her PR will sort the #ad and #aff and all that other stuff that stops you lot from sleeping, she's shot up to exponential figures, give her chance to learn the ropes.
