Mum-of-22 Sue Radford wows fans with hack for cleaning muddy stains out of kids' clothes

Few parents enjoy cleaning mud stains out of their children's clothes. But you can enjoy finding an easier way to complete the job thanks to mum-of-22 Sue Radford.

The head of Britain's largest family, along with her husband Noel, she knows just how much mess kids make when they're having fun.

Thankfully, she's also learned a great hack for tidying up after them.

When the parent took to her Instagram to show off the filthy washing she was left with after a weekend of fun, fans suggested she should bin one pair of mucky trousers.

Covered in grass and mud, it's easy to see why people gave up hope on the grey tracksuit bottoms.

But Sue knew the solution. "Lots of you said bin them but they've come out really good," she revealed. "Thank goodness for the steam setting on my washing machine."

And the result was astonishing. You couldn't spot any trace of the dark stains that previously the trousers in the 'after' photo.

You could even go so far as to say they looked as good as new - and fans were seriously impressed.

Meanwhile, another parent astonished families with her cleaning tip when she revealed how she prevents her kids' football boots from smelling rotten.

Like with the trousers Sue tackled, mud proved to be a problem. Fortunately, it turns out newspaper can make a big difference.

Adding newspaper to footie boots after each use can help to prevent odour, according to several social media users.

"My son's boots were also smelling like tom cats pee. Every time he takes them off I stuff them with scrunched up newspaper & it works," a parent revealed.

Another advisor said: "I remember when we were growing up my father & grandfather used to do it with the work boots."
