A GYPSY wife has revealed how she keeps her home pristine each week, including using paintbrushes to clean her windows.
Chantelle Devonshire, 24, from Cambridge, also revealed the £3 cleaning product she can’t live without to achieve the spotless look.
On her @chantelle19xoxo account, she showed her “Monday reset”; routine and how she does a deep clean of the home.
She shared: “I wanted to have a real deep clean today, so I started off by doing all my window frames. The weather‘s been lovely, so I opened all the windows.
“I do have a steam cleaner, but I just couldn't really be bothered to go out and get it out the shed.”;
Chantelleshowed how she used a Spanish glass cleaner on a paint brush to leave her windows looking brand new.
After applying the Las 3 Brujas glass cleaner, which you can get for £3.50 from Lemon Fresh UK,she wiped off the solution with a cloth.
Chantelle added: “When the weather breaks a bit more better, I will be getting a bit of fairy liquid and washing all my windows down.
“I need to get some ladders for outside as well to do them.”;
Next she moved onto her kitchen.
The gypsy wife, who recently starred on Stacey Dooley’s Growing Up Gypsy, said how she wanted to clean her hob as it was “terrible.”;
She continued: “I decided I wanted egg on toast this morning, and literally all the stuff went everywhere.”;
Chantelle showed how she scrubbed it with washing up liquid and a sponge until it was looking brand new.
Then, the gypsy wife gave a tip for adding an Easter feel to her lounge.
She shared: “I tried to get, like, a nice background on my TV, like an Easter theme.
“But I couldn't find any, so I used, on Netflix, they do like a fireplace setting on there you can just click on, which I never knew about.
“But it wasn't going with my theme. I wanted summer, not winter.”;
Chantelle lived in a trailer with her parents when she was born, and then moved into ahouseat the age of six.
Years later, when she was 19, she then moved into a trailer with her husband Swaley, and three years later, when she was 22, moved into a chalet home.
Cleaning outfit
Chantelle shared how her day then consists of doing laundry and she’s been hanging it outside with the warmer weather.
She said: “Now, when the sun comes out in any home, I don't care if you're in a house or a chalet, when the sun shines through your window, it shows every fingerprint, every dust, and it drives me insane.
“My outfits when I clean up are either leggings or a vest top or pajamas because I don't like dressing up and then cleaning, because I am scared of getting bleach on myself.
“I have had so many pairs of leggings and pajamas with stains of bleach on them, it is literally a joke.”;
Part of her Monday reset also involves wiping out the fridge and topping it up with a big food shop.
Facts on gypsy and traveller communities
Typically, gypsies is a term used to describe Romani people who migrated to Europe from India while traveller refers to a person with either Irish, Scottish orEnglish heritage.
Around 300,000 Gypsy, Roma and Irish travellers are thought to live in the UK.
All three groups come from nomadic ways of life, however, as it is increasingly difficult to find land to live on, many are moving into permanent housing.
They place high value on family life and often live close together even after reaching adult years and getting married.
Often the men are the breadwinners of the family while the women stay home.
While many English gypsy girls are allowed to drinkalcoholand go on holiday with their friends before they get married, their Irish counterparts are not.
Gypsy prejudice
Previously she opened up about how, as a Gypsy she faces a daily struggle to fight prejudice and she can’t even get her food shopping in Tesco or pick up a new outfit without a backlash.
Not only is Chantelle followed by suspicious staff in shops, but she's been banned from restaurants, accused of stealing and denied entry into nail salons.
Fuming about what she calls ‘unfair judgement', Chantelle who previously revealed what school holidays are like on caravan sites, says: “You can’t class us all the same. It’s not fair.
“It does get to me, I’m a good person. I’ve never spoken to anyone wrongly. I was brought up with good manners.
“I get accused of things because of what other people have done.”;
Many people were impressed with her weekly clean, with one saying: “I feel sooo dirty now.”;
Another shared: “Travellers are probably the cleanest people I know and the most house proud.”;
The traveller girl, who previously revealed common gypsy superstitions, also shared the strict parking rules that people on trailer sites must abide by.
