A cleaning influencer has shared her super quick tip to ensure water marks are removed off your taps and also how to ensure they stay that clean in the future. In our modern and busy lives, finding nifty, quick, and easy hacks to help keep our homes tidy and smelling great is all the rage. But what a lot of people don't know is that candles can also provide another service and help with keeping water marks at bay.

Pouring a small amount of the candle wax directly onto your taps, then gently wiping it off with some warm water and you will have bright-looking taps without the pesky water marks present. This handy tip works effectively as the candle wax creates a thin, water-repellent layer on the surface of your taps.

This further prevents water directly contacting the tap and later forming any visible water spots.

In a TikTok video, @anna_louisa_at_home shares her top five favourite home hacks.

She says one of her favourites is to use this candle wax tip to help her bathroom tap look cleaner for longer.

By using candle wax, water beads up and simply rolls off the metallic surface thanks to the wax barrier built up preventing mineral deposits or stains from forming.

Kezia Reynolds from Ideal Home tried the hack at home, and she said: "The whole process took at most 15 minutes as I was also impressed with how cheap it was."

The cleaning influencer also shared more advice for those wanting a perfectly spotless home.

Another of her top tips is to spray furniture pads with essential oil and stick them in your drawers.

By doing this, you can keep your clothes drawers or wardrobes smelling fresh.

Anna also says to keep spiders away from your home, you can spray peppermint oil around windows and doors where they are likely to enter.

By following these easy tips, you can ensure your home will stay fresher and cleaner for longer.
