unfollowed Mrs Hinch

So i originally followed Mrs Hinch when i saw her on This Morning and i thought i would be a great way of getting cleaning tips.....which originally it was. But now i think it has turned into this one big advertising campaign and what items she has been gifted.
So i have decided to unfollow her and i feel so much better for it.
What are your thoughts?

Well there are surely only so many ways you can clean stuff with zoflora so she was bound to have a bit of a shelf life really...good on the woman for making as much out of it as she had I guess...

@AlexanderHalexander 🤣

Colouring for the chemically obsessed.

Fluffycloudland77 · 09/12/2019 11:26

A lot of what she uses is extensively tested on animals so I never bothered with her.

Also cleaning your house is nothing new, is it?.

IWorkAtTheCheesecakeFactory · 09/12/2019 11:26

I have no idea. I’m 33. It’s been about 25 years since I’ve had to know the answer to that question Grin

Maybe that’s why MrsH and fans all have grey homes. They don’t know their favourite colour anymore because they’re grown ups Grin

Sparklingbrook · 09/12/2019 11:27

Her house looks like something out of a magazine, a show home. It’s really really nice visually but I wouldn’t want that look for myself as it’s not my taste.
She’s going to have some serious toddler proofing to do at some point!

No it was just made into a “hobby” for people who didn’t or couldn’t do anything else.

JaneJeffer · 09/12/2019 11:29

I am surprised Extinction Rebellion did not blockade her trips to pound land - where she would buy a tonne of plastic and 58 litres of toxic chemicals
Grin now that would be an interesting Instagram post Grin

Notso · 09/12/2019 11:32

I followed her months ago and swiftly unfollowed.
How many times can you watch someone clean an already clean sink while bellowing "yeeeesss maaaatttee, smells amaaazing"

Londongirl86 · 09/12/2019 11:35

@IWorkAtTheCheesecakeFactory I think you have hit the nail on the head haha. When she was pregnant I thought you won't ever see that kid in normal colours. He will have to match the decor grey and only have toys that compliment his mum's theme lol

GooodMythicalMorning · 09/12/2019 11:38

Oh no my house has a lot of grey, I've never heard of her til today but don't want ppl thinking im copying her.

I know what my favourite colour is! My daughter asks me at least once a week, you know. just in case it changes.
And even if you can't bring a colour to mind if someone asks you outright, if they know you well enough they could probably guess. Certain people do tend to re-use one colour/scheme either in their house decor or in what they wear. Subconsciously.

Marellaspirit · 09/12/2019 11:42

Wow I've just looked on Instagram and I thought all the pictures were taken in black and white... Then I realised, no her house really is that grey!

Londongirl86 · 09/12/2019 11:43

I have quite a few butterfly things in my house actually. Cups, curtains, bedding. I suppose I like them. I also have friends who love purple. I just don't seem to have ever stuck with a colour for most things.

John1971 · 09/12/2019 11:54

She’s on ITV because it’s easier on there to try and flog tat.
Don’t take anyone on Good Morning at face value. Not even Gino - he burgled Paul Young’s house.

Stoople · 09/12/2019 11:57

@Thefaceofboe but she puts it online for everyone to see, most people don't. She gets gifted ridiculous amounts of homeware, appliances and even renovation work; and posts ads or affiliate links constantly so that people who perhaps can't afford it buy it. That opens her up to be judged in my opinion. Especially when she branched into baby bits and bobs, making others feel inferior if they couldn't afford to buy the same, even though she got it all for free.

John1971 · 09/12/2019 12:01

She modelled her luxurious home home in Nantwich on John Major. Grey.
(Don’t invite Gino though - he’s still got those photos he stole during the burglary at Paul Young’s house).

dontalltalkatonce · 09/12/2019 12:02

I fucking hate all these fucking vloggers for completely ruining the noun 'gift' and turning it into a fucking verb. Now no one uses the verb 'to gift', it's all 'I was gifted this!' 'Your gifting season' 'She was gifted this'. Gives me the fucking rage. I don't use Instagram.

HowlsMovingBungalow · 09/12/2019 12:03

Wtf has Gino got to do with Hinch?

WotchaTalkinBoutWillis · 09/12/2019 12:04

Nantwich?! Are you even going on about the same person?!
Sure she lives in Essex Confused

WotchaTalkinBoutWillis · 09/12/2019 12:06

@HowlsmovingBungalow exactly, these bashing threads get batshittier Grin
I was too confused about Nantwich to even attempt to be arsed about unpicking the rest lol

John1971 · 09/12/2019 12:07

I’m sorry I cannot divulge anything further about the incident for legal reasons.

ChardonnaysDistantCousin · 09/12/2019 12:08

Is she still cleaning that sink?

WotchaTalkinBoutWillis · 09/12/2019 12:10

Ok, Jon Confused Grin
U OK hun lol
