After laying out the contents of their three-bedroom home in a huge warehouse, Stacey found the Leed-based couple had 53 tool boxes and 619 pieces of wood, and Lynda had a staggering 239 scarves.

While the family were tasked with cutting down on their items, Stacey and her team of professionals cleaned and organised their home.

Cleaning expert Iwan Carrington was on hand to give a very handy hack if you want to leave your windows gleaming - coffee filters.

He explained: “These coffee filters are brilliant for cleaning windows because they're really strong and they're lint-free as well, so they don't give any smears.

“If you're a coffee drinker and you have a big sack of these in your kitchen, one goes a long way.”

Thankfully the hack doesn’t need to break the bank.

Tesco is currently selling a pack of 40 coffee filters for £1.30, which works out at 3p per one.

Filter fun

According to First For Women, coffee filters are better than paper towels because, as they're lint-free, there will be no residue left on your windows.

You also won't run the risk of having them fall apart on you since they're made to withstand heavy water contact.

Just spray your glass surface with your choice of cleaner and wipe it with the coffee filter.

If you want to clean a bigger surface, purchase extra-large filters - and for really caked-on dirt, you might want to stack several at the same time.

For more caffeine-related ways to clean your windows, a cleaning fan shared a clever trick to clean windows.

You can use tea to clean really muddy windows, as the mild acidity of the tea is able to cut through nasty build-up of grease and grime leaving windows picture perfect.

The genius hack not only saves you money on pricey cleaning sprays but also there is no need for fancy clothes or sponges.

Stacey's transformation

As well as cleaning their property, Stacey helped the couple - who were going through a tough time with Lynda’s cancer diagnosis - find a way to treasure their precious photo memories.

She added two big photo frames onto their lounge wall, which could swing open to reveal a makeshift projector cinema for them to watch their home videos together.

Stacey also made a DIY lampshade for Charlotte’s bedroom and helped to organise Ben’s garage to have organised boxes.

The family were thrilled with the finished result.
