There's no denying it. The days are getting darker, colder and rainier. If you're a parent with very young kids, this means one thing and one thing only - muddy pram wheels which wreak havoc on floors and carpets.

Coming in from the rain only to realize you've made a fresh new mud stain on your carpet can frustrate any parent. That's why this mum's buggy hack was hailed as "genius" by hundreds of parents after she posted it to Facebook recently.

According to Heart.co.uk, the woman shared the hack to Facebook group 'Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK'. She told parents that she simply puts cheap shower caps on the wheels of her buggy before she brings it inside, protecting her floors and carpets from any mud, rain and dirt that they may have collected.

Simple, but genius.

“Ideal for popping over your muddy wheels to catch the mud when it dries and flakes off.

“Saves your carpets and floors getting dirty.

“You can actually buy wheel covers for this purpose but this is definitely a money saving idea and works so well and you can keep reusing over and over again.”

Many parents were left in awe at the simple hack, leaving comments saying "wow, what a great idea," and "genius!"
