A TRAVELLER woman has shown off her nighttime reset routine and the secret ways she keeps her home looking brand new.
Adele Preece, from the UK, took to social media to show her extensive cleaning routine but people were left stunned by the extreme measures she took.
In the clip, the homemaker first got a bucket and filled it with hot water, bleach and fairy washing up liquid and said: “Nighttime reset clean for a gypsy.”
The 24-year-old also revealed that the kettle she used for cleaning was different to the one she makes drinks with.
“This kettle is actually the kettle that I use for my cleaning water,” Adele explained.
“I’ve got a different one to make coffees because I don’t want tap water in my coffee. I use only bottled.”
She first went in by spraying her hob with bleach and adding a glug of bleach to her air fryer tray to sit.
Adele also revealed that she refuses to have a bin in her chalet and prefers to use a bin bag as and when she needs it so she can throw it out immediately.
After cleaning her hob she then moved on to the oven itself which she dismantled every night to give it a thorough scrub.
She used a steam cleaner in hard to reach places as well as wiping it down with bleach.
“I’m going in with my favourite cleaning product, bleach,” she added. “And I just coat my oven with this because I just love it and I think it makes everything come up.”
She then filled up her bucket with fresh water and bleach before wiping down all of her condiments.
“You touch them while you’re eating, you’re getting grease on them, so you can’t just put them back in the cupboard,” the cleaning whizz explained.
Next, she moved on to her toaster, which she cleans out every time it’s used.
Adele added that she has two toasters – one for decoration and one to use.
“I have another toaster that I use just for making toast, cause I don’t wanna ruin my display toaster,” she explained.
Nomadic lifestyle: Traditionally, many travellers maintain a nomadic lifestyle, living in caravans and moving frequently. This mobility is a core aspect of their identity, reflecting a deep connection to freedom and independence.
Strong family bonds: Family is central to traveller culture. Extended families often live and travel together, providing a strong support network. Marriages and social events are significant community affairs, reinforcing familial ties.
Distinct Language: Many travellers speak Shelta, also known as Cant or Gammon, a distinct language that mixes elements of Irish, English, and other languages. This language serves as a cultural marker and a means of private communication within the community.
Religious practices: The traveller community often follows Roman Catholicism, with religious festivals and milestones like baptisms, communions, and weddings being particularly significant. However, individual beliefs and practices can vary widely.
Unique celebrations: Events such as horse fairs and traditional weddings are major social gatherings for travellers. These occasions are marked by elaborate preparations, vibrant attire, and communal participation.
The air fryer and toaster was then put away in the cupboard before she got another clean bucket of water and wiped down her countertops and kitchen island.
In another clip, she revealed that she keeps them looking brand new using plastic sheets from Dunelm to cover them.
The PVC sheets can be cut to size in stores and prices start at £3.50.
Once that task was done, Adele finished her kitchen reset by using her floor bucket and cleaning the floor on her hands and knees.
Her kitchen was sparkling and looked like it had never been touched when she was done with her cleaning routine.
The clip quickly went viral with over 536k views and 36k likes on her TikTok account @adele_preecex.
People were quick to comment and seemed divided by her lengthy routine.
Some were left stunned by the amount of bleach used and questioned how necessary it was while others were in awe of her clean home.
One person wrote: “Bleach leaves toxic chemical traces, never use it on items that food will be cooked or placed in.”
Another commented: “You do realise that boiling tap water filters the water and is the same as the pointless water bottles your buying because you just wanna be weird.”
“This is hilarious! Display toaster, two kettles, bottled water for tea (you do know boiled tap water is sterile), washing jars (if your hands are clean, there’s no need) and bleached oven,” penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “I don’t get the hate look at the beautiful condition of this lassies home. Everything looks completely brand new. Fair play gal.”
“I don’t really understand all the hateful comments. This lady has an impeccably clean house, we don’t all have the time to do this level of cleaning but no need to hate,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “The commitment to the nighttime reset unreal.”

EVERY trainer is looking to make a Power play in this year’s Martin Pipe Handicap Hurdle.
The race, limited to conditional jockeys, has been won by the likes of Felix De Giles, JJ Slevin, Jonjo O’Neill Jr, Sean O’Keeffe and Danny Gilligan, just to name a few.
It’s crucial to have a top conditional on board and this year’s hot topic is Tiernan Power Roche.
The young gun has been making waves in Ireland and has won of four of his last nine rides.
That included a win on Great Attitude, who was gambled down from 200-1 to 8s in a quite remarkable sequence.
He’s clearly a jockey that trainers trust and he could be the one who gets the plum ride in the £75,000 race.
The ante-post favourite for this year’s race is Wodhooh for Gordon Elliott, who is 6-6 over hurdles and beat William Hill Hurdle winner Joyeuse and a host of other next-time-out winners.
JP McManus has a host of potential chances including Kopeck De Mee – A French import with a big reputation – McLaurey, who won at the Dublin Racing Festival, and No Ordinary Joe.
Roche is yet to have many rides for the big stables, but he has lots of experience to call upon which will be a big plus for any trainer.
With a maximum field of 24, it would be a huge surprise if Roche wasn’t on any horses, let alone one of the favourites.

DUNNES Stores fans are scrambling to get their hands on a cute denim dress – but it’s selling out fast.
The Savida Denim Mini Dress is available in stores across the country.
The cute denim dress has short sleeves, a button down collar and two pockets.
Dunnes Stores chiefs said the denim dress is perfect for a “stylish night-out look”.
They said: “This shirt dress from Savida is crafted from a soft and durable cotton denim.
“Cut to a mini length, it is designed with a classic collar, a three button placket, and two patch pockets.
“Pair it with tights and boots for an effortlessly stylish night-out look. Savida is available exclusively at Dunnes Stores.”
Retailing at €40, it’s a dress you will keep reaching for again and again.
Style it with a belt and runners for a causal look or team with heeled boots and tights for a night out.
Shoppers will need to be quick as it appears to be flying out of stock online.
However, your size may still be available in your local store.
Fashion lover Zoe, who posts under @zoepalmerpalmer, took to TikTok to show off the dress.
She joked: “Dunnes stores can just take my money at this point.”
Zoe styled the dress with black tights, a black belt and boots.
She said: “I just feel for work or for the weekend, this is such a versatile dress.”
The TikToker said she was “very excited about this dress” and it’s a “class” look.
Another item selling out quickly is their famous Contour Leggings.
One shopper has taken to social media to share a look at the must-have leggings.
TikTok user Rhianna Bolton shared a video to the platform for her followers.
At the beginning of the clip, she can be seen holding up a large Dunnes Stores shopping bag.
Rhianna said: “I got my leggings from there yesterday — these were €15 and are contour leggings.
“They really really cinch you in, they’re so flattering and really soft. I really like them.”
She explained that the only thing she doesn’t like about them is the length at the ankles, adding that she just folds them up.
BETWEEN the weekly food shops and bargain fashion - Dunnes Stores is a staple retailer in Irish households.
But this wasn’t always the case, and when the initial branch of the shop opened its doors in 1944 it caused quite the stir
On March 31 of the year, Ben Dunne opened the first ever Dunnes Stores on St Patrick’s Street in Co Cork.
Locals quickly learned of the grand opening and flooded into the store in what the retailer’s archives recall as a “shopping frenzy.”
The bargain clothing on sale inside the new store at “pre-war prices” was one of the factors cited for the buzz.
During the chaos a window was forced in and Gardai were called to the scene.
Cops worked to deal with the eager crowds and keep shoppers calm and safe before they made it into the store for their first Dunnes experience.
Fast forward some 80 years, the business now employs over 18,000 people and although an opening of a Dunnes branch hasn’t caused quite as much stir since the very first one, it has cemented its place as one of the nation’s leading retailers.
Dunnes Stores now has 138 stores across Europe:

BRITAIN’S Got Talent has been plunged into a new ‘fix’ row, with viewers fuming over two international acts making it through the auditions.
Sunday night’s episode featured Filipino dance troupe Obsequious and Japanese comedian Akira Ohashi, both of whom wowed the judges and audience.
Akira, who performed various tricks with just a tray to cover his modesty, has already found fame in Japan – clocking up millions of YouTube engagements for his racy videos.
Meanwhile, Obsequious boast 66,000 Facebook followers and have won championships including the World Supremacy Battlegrounds, WSB Asia PH, Battlegrounds PH Luzon, WSB Asia International and Champions Tour Cell championships.
While many fans praised their performances, others took to social media to question why the acts weren’t from the UK.
The show has never hidden the fact that auditions are open to everyone, regardless of experience or nationality, with all contestants given the same chance to impress the judges and viewers.
However, some fans were less than pleased, with one writing under a post on the show’s official Instagram: “What’s the point in calling it ‘Britain’s’ Got Talent?”
Another added: “BRITAIN’S Got Talent???!!” while a third quipped: “Welcome to Global Got talent.”
Over on X, formerly Twitter, one viewer fumed: “Once again it should be called worlds got talent ! Keep it British.”
Another echoed: “BGT another year of effing dog dancing, dance troops, bloke that can sing a bit, some scary shit and the dumbest studio audience ever.”
But not everyone was unhappy, with plenty of fans defending the international contestants.
One posted: “They were incredible! Who cares where they’re from? Talent is talent.”
Another said: “BGT has always had worldwide acts – this isn’t new. Let’s just enjoy great performances.”
A third added: “The best acts should go through no matter where they come from. End of.”
Despite the backlash, the show has a long history of welcoming talent from across the globe, with past winners including Canadian magician Eric Chien and American comedian Viggo Venn.
A source said: “BGT has amassed a global fanbase with over 24 billion views of content across their social media channels, so it naturally attracts talent from across the world, who use the show as a platform to showcase their act to a massive audience.
“BGT is and has always been an inclusive show and it welcomes acts to take part from around the world.”

A RARE planetary parade is to emerge in the night sky this week for the last time until 2040.
Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Venus, Neptune, Saturn and Mercury will be strung across the sky in an arc shape on 28 February.
The moment will be short, lasting until roughly 6:30pm GMT / EST in the UK and the US – which is when Jupiter will fall below the horizon.
Stargazers will have to wait 15 years for the next alignment involving seven planets.
Only five planets, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Venus and Mercury, will be visible to the naked eye.
Uranus and Neptune are simply too far away from Earth, and therefore require a telescope or binoculars to view them.
While they will mostly look like larger, twinkling stars – you will be able to set Venus and Mars apart from the rest.
Venus will be the brightest in the sky, shining twice as bright as the North Star, Polaris.
Venus, Jupiter and Saturn will appear as bright-white points of light.
While Mars has a distinct orange glow.
Alignments of four or five planets are not uncommon, as their orbits bring them to the same side of the Sun as the Earth.
But it’s remarkably rare for six, or even seven, planets to align.
The best time to witness the celestial phenomena is just after sunset.
Mars will appear in the eastern sky.
Jupiter and Uranus will be visible in the southeast.
While Venus, Neptune and Saturn will appear in the west.
While binoculars or telescopes can give a detailed view of the planets, they can also limit the portion of the sky you can see.
Jupiter is scheduled to set at roughly 6:30pm GMT / EST in the UK and the US.
Mercury’s placement will also be low on the horizon, meaning it will dip out of visibility at about 7pm GMT / EST.
Planets are constantly moving, which means their paths occasionally cross into an alignment in Earth's sky.
Dr Dan Brown, an astronomy expert here at Nottingham Trent University, explained to The Sun: “All planets including Earth move in more or less the same plane in our solar system.
“So that from our perspective the planets are always very close to the apparent path of the Sun in the sky also known as the ecliptic.
“This means they will always be along this line.
“You could compare it with cars on a straight road.
“Since they can only drive on the road they will always be found along the road in more or less a line.
“What varies is how close they are to each other and when we can see them.”
