However, the presenter was part of the early generation of cleaning celebrities, hosting Anthea Turner: Perfect Housewife in 2006. So, when it comes to cleaning tips, you can trust Anthea’s.

In the post, the TV host explains how she had purchased the light grey sofa from DFS four years ago. When it started to look a bit grubby she hired someone to clean the upholstery, but it failed to get her sofa looking like new.

As a last-ditch attempt, she decided to follow her friend’s risky advice to put the sofa covers in the washing machine and was amazed by the results.

As we are approaching the New Year, we start to think about cleaning up and clearing out. One of the things I like to do is wash my sofa covers, so I have a fresh sofa for the New Year. I simply stick them in a wool wash in my washing machine! It’s that easy!

‘A friend of mine who is braver than me said, ‘I just put mine in the washer on a wool wash”,’ says Anthea. ‘Honestly, they’ve come up like new.’

‘I know generally manufacturers say dry clean only and I understand why they say that […] but it’s like trainers, sometimes you stick them in the wash and they come up like new,’ the former Top of the Pops presenter adds.

The Instagram video sees Anthea putting the freshly cleaned covers back on the sofa. ‘You will see my lovely sofa and why I adore it!’ she raves.
