Over the winter months, we’re all guilty of bringing mud and rain inside on our shoes, clothes and accessories.
This can be even more of a nightmare if you have a buggy.
But one mum has come up with a genius way to protect her floors from a muddy pushchair.
Laura Siârn Outhart found a creative way to ensure the dirty wheels of her pram didn’t leave marks on her carpets and floors.
Her hack involves purchasing £1 shower caps, found in Poundland, and placing them over the pushchair wheels – before entering the house.
Laura shared her hack in the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group, where it was met with praise from fellow parents.
She also pointed out that the hack saves money too, as the shower caps can be used time and time again.
Her post read: ‘£1 shower caps bought from Poundland. Ideal for popping over your muddy wheels to catch the mud when it dries and flakes off.
‘Saves your carpets and floors getting dirty. You can actually buy wheel covers for this purpose but this is definitely a money saving idea and works so well and you can keep reusing over and over again.’
Laura’s post received more than 4,500 comments and 13,000 likes in 48 hours, with many impressed by her affordable and effective idea.
One Facebook user commented: ‘Wish I’d have seen this year’s ago!!!’
While another joked: ‘I might just have another baby for this #gamechanger’
Others were keen to point out another use for the shower cap, saying, ‘Or if you have to put the pram in your boot, great idea!!’
It seems a little creativity can pay off for parents.
Last month a dad made headlines after turning his toolbox cart into a nappy changing station.
Top marks for imagination.
