Firstly, if you don’t know who Mrs Hinch is, where have you been hiding? Her name is everywhere at the moment and even more so since her book came out. Even my partner Andy knows who Mrs Hinch is and can recognise her voice instantly.
I asked my mum to pre-order the book as a birthday present and once the book arrived, I read the whole book in less than a week, which is something I haven’t done in years.
The book itself is split down into five key sections – The first section is “Home is where my heart is”, the second is “welcome to my Hinching world”, the third is “a bit about me”, the fourth is “grab your Minkeh we’re going on a cleaning adventure” and lastly is “let’s de-clutter our lives”. Each section is easy to read and also had at least one page called diary where you can answer some questions such as what is your favourite tunes to clean to. At the back of the book, there is also some check list pages where you can right down the things you want to clean.
One of the main things I loved about reading the book was the fact that Mrs Hinch spoke about herself more than on her Instagram account, where she talks about how to clean things and also about what eBay bargains she has bought, so we were able to get to know her.
Rather than just seeing the face of a great Instagram account, you can read about her childhood, health struggles, meeting and marrying Jamie and a whole lot of other things in between. I particularly loved reading about her reaction to reaching 1 million Instagram followers because it was just so normal and exactly how I would probably feel too.
As much as I love watching Mrs Hinch on Instagram stories, there were some parts of her cleaning that I just didn’t understand but this is where the Hinchionary part of the book is perfect because it tells you the names of the cloths she uses and also the story behind her favourite words and sayings, for examples.
Further on past this section is all about the “Hinching family” and her favourite products to use. Rather than just naming a load of products, Mrs Hinch has written her tips, tricks and routines to follow to make cleaning less of a chore and more manageable. I have since bought a few products that I previously hadn’t tried but now I love such as the Pink Stuff and Elbow Grease.
If you’ve ever wondered how to clean quickly but efficiently, this book is for you. You can try various methods such as just room by room, Hinch half hour, the clockwise clean or fresh’n up Friday, all of which are explained in the book.
Overall I’m absolutely obsessed with this book and if I forget anything, I can refer back to the book when I’m cleaning. I’m also more productive at cleaning because I now target certain areas at a time rather than trying to do it all at once.

With a 4 year old and a 2 year old, I DEFINITELY need some tips on how to clean quickly and efficiently….!!! Honestly, I absolutely hate cleaning so I’m not sure the book is for me, however I really like the fact that she’s included so many personal stories to break it up and I’d certainly be interested in reading those elements.
