Australia’s most popular ‘cleaning queen’ has unveiled three super-easy hacks that can have your home smelling great in minutes.
Chantel Mila, known online as Mama Mila, shared the three tricks using pantry staples with her million-strong followers on Saturday.
The 32-year-old mother of two said the best of the tricks is that they start working immediately and your house will smell fresher in no time.
The first trick can make every house smell like your favorite cafe — and all you need is a candle, a heatproof bowl, and some coffee beans.
‘Put coffee grounds or beans in a heatproof bowl with a tea light. The heat from the candle will heat up the coffee and your whole house will smell incredible,” she said, before warning not to leave the candle unattended.
The second trick is perfect for the kitchen, bathrooms and laundry rooms.
“Clean your sink with baking soda on a lemon to remove rust stains, cutting through dirt,” she said.

“The house was not only a workplace, but also a nursery, an art studio, a school and at the end of the day it was so hard to find peace in that cluttered space, so I started sharing tips and tricks for the home to small pockets create an oasis around the house,’ she said.
“One of the first cleaning videos I posted that was incredibly popular was ‘How to make your bed smell like a dream for the best night’s sleep’. I posted it around May 2020 and couldn’t believe the millions of people who saw it, tried it and loved it.” the
