Mrs Hinch shares simple decluttering hack that promises to clear your home
Watch: Mrs Hinch shares simple decluttering tip to help keep your home tidy
If your New Year's resolution was to try to keep your home that little bit tidier you might be interested in a simple yet genius decluttering hack shared by Mrs Hinch.
The cleaning influencer, real name Sophie Hinchliffe, was appearing on Lorraine this morning to discuss her new book Welcome to Hinch Farm, but also shared one of her home hacks that has been proving popular.
When asked by Lorraine about her decluttering jar hack, the cleaning guru, 32, replied to say she was "obsessed" with the process.
"It's as simple as a jar filled with numbers from one to 30, folded up," she explained. "Then each day when you get the chance, you just take one out. And you find that number of objects around the home or garden [to declutter]."
The influencer went on to say the tidy-up process can involve as little as clearing away a button or a piece of furniture or can include several items cluttering up your home.
"You just either recycle it, you donate it, you get rid of it, you bin it. But you just empty that amount of items from your home.
"And I'm hooked," she continued. "I think I've only got a few left in my jar."

After Lorraine responded to say what a great idea the tip was, the pair went on to discuss how the items you declutter from your home don't have to be big things, but could actually be small things you don't realise have built up.
It seems the breakfast TV host uses Mrs Hinch as inspiration when she's thinking about decluttering her own home.
"I have your voice in my head when I'm going through [my stuff]," Lorraine commented. "And I think to myself, 'I know I love that jumper, but I haven't worn it for two years. So actually someone else can take the joy of that and have the pleasure of that jumper, or whatever it may be. I think it's great."

Mrs Hinch previously shared the home clearing tip to Instagram via a quick explanation video, where she could be seen writing out the numbers for her own decluttering jar.
"Write numbers 1-30, pop them in a jar!" she wrote in the accompanying caption.
"Every day pick one out, and find that number of items around your home/garden that you know deep down you no longer need/use and then send them on their merry way!"
The cleaning expert continued: "Charity shops, recycling centres, clothes banks, online sales pages."
