Meanwhile, Mrs Hinch has previously revealed how you can keep your bed itself fresh and clean.

According to the cleaning influencer, it’s recommended you turn your mattress once a month and refresh it every three to six months.

She says to do this, you should completely strip your bed down, before vacuuming your mattress thoroughly to get rid of all the dead skin cells and dust.

Next, using a flour sieve, shake bicarbonate of soda evenly all over the mattress. This acts as an odour eater.

Leave for a few hours at least and then vacuum it off. This should lift out any nasty smells.
