WHILST most people are fast asleep at 2am, Mimz can be found in her pyjamas deep cleaning her house.
The influencer who runs @everydaywithmimz gets up over five hours earlier than she needs to to get her chores out of the way.

The busy mum started a recent video by telling her 24k followers on that she’d just started a new job, which required her to go into the office for three days a week.
So, in order to get on top of the cleaning and meal prepping, she gets up extra early.
Mimz even factors in her skincare regime and wears a mask as she blitzes through her cleaning.
Mimz tells her followers that she is well aware her routine is a little unusual.
“It does feel crazy doing this in the middle of the night, but by the time my son wakes up and I start getting ready at five, it’s absolutely fine,” she said.
She explained that she had to drop her son off at before getting to work at 9am.
“My new job needs me to go into the office for three days a week, so I do need some routine,” she said.
“So I’m cleaning the house so it isn’t going to make me feel completely overwhelmed by the time I come home from work.
“The main focus is always the kitchen and the living room; it’s not really so much the bedrooms.”
But she doesn’t just do a spot of hoovering and dusting – Mimz scrubs the kitchen counters, deep cleans the oven trays, does a clothes wash, cleans the sofa, wipes down the cupboards and deep cleans the sink and hob.
She told followers: “I also prep dinner, so this way I can just come home and put the water in the soup, and then I can just boil it, and it’s done.
Mimz isn’t the only one who prides herself on a home, despite having a hectic life with a little one.
Cara, a ‘mumfluencer’ said that she is sick of seeing other parents using their kids as an excuse for an unclean home.
In a recent video, the mum-of-five blasted parents for not just living in filth but for posting it online.
Top 5 cleaning hacks
Say goodbye to ironing
Don’t have time to smooth out the wrinkles of a shirt with an iron? Lenor ‘s Crease Releaser makes wrinkles vanish – simply hang up creased items, give them a quick spritz and smooth against a hard surface.
Teabags for trainers
When trainers smell a little squiffy, pop a used (and still moist) tea bag inside and leave for about an hour. The tannins will seep into the sole of the shoe to fight nasty-smelling odours.
Remove limescale without scrubbing
When bathroom taps start looking a little grimy with limescale, slice a lemon in half and sprinkle on baking soda. Rub the fruit over the taps and with a gentle clean they will come up sparkling. Use a toothbrush to get in all the nooks and crannies.
Streak-free mirrors and windows
White vinegar is a handy secret weapon when it comes to keeping mirrors and windows streak-free. Mix one part white vinegar with four parts water in a spray bottle. Squirt then wipe with a microfibre cloth and voilà, clean glass in an instant.
Make your home smell amazing
For dust-free skirting boards, pour some fabric softener onto a cloth and give them a quick wipe. It will stop dirt collecting so quickly and, as an added bonus, make your home smell amazing.
She said: “Stop using your as an excuse to have a dirty home. I mean, messy, yes, but dirty is just unacceptable.
“I have five children myself and I always manage to keep on top of my house.”
While the mum’s words may seem harsh, she knew houses get messy with kids but was sick of seeing them live in dirt.
“Obviously, it gets messy because children are messy, but having animal poo smeared across your walls, bathroom that hasn’t been cleaned in about five months, mouldy food on the kitchen side,” she continued.
“Yes, there is actually an account on here and I’ve seen it with my own eyes and it’s actually disgusting.”
Cara didn’t reveal which account she was talking about, but there have been plenty of parents slammed on the app for having a dirty home.
