The £1.25 buy parents are swearing by to get rid of stains in seconds, and it works on everything from pen to ketchup
KIDS can be messy.
So if you’re a parent, you are guaranteed to have quite the array of stain-removing products in your cleaning cupboard.
But, according to two mums, there’s only one you need – and it will only set you back £1.25.
Kally took to TikTok to share the budget purchase, as she gushed about just how good they are.
“Your sign to have the M&S stain remover wipes in your cleaning cupboard,” she wrote over the top of her photo collage, which showed the soft Bluey chair after it had been “vandalised” with red pen by her kids.
Before using the wipes, Bluey’s eyes and eyebrows were covered in red scrawls.
But afterwards, there wasn’t a “red mark in sight”.
Kally concluded her post by showing the wipes once she’d finished – revealing she’d only needed to use three to get rid of the marks.
“3 wipes later and we are done. Honestly, these wipes!” she concluded.
“OMG I need!” one person commented on the TikTok.
“Needed to see this after my Bluey was attacked with sharpie – almost gone after stain removal spray,” another added.
“Thankyou for sharing.” someone else said.
“I can’t get the stains off my bluey chair definitely going to get those.”
And Kally wasn’t the only mum to have unearthed the potential of the wipes.
When Aisha’s kids managed to spill ketchup on her cream velvet chair, she raced to her nearest M&S to snap up some of the wipes – having heard good things about them.
“I literally wanted to just cry and melt,” she said in a video on TikTok.
“I used a particular stain remover and that didn’t help. I’ve seen good reviews on the M&S stain remover wipes, so I decided to run out, get some and give them a try.
“Oh my god, where have they been all my life?!”
