MEAL times with young children can be a recipe for chaos.
But one mum has come up with a clever solution for keeping her kitchen floor spotless while her messy toddler eats in a high chair.

The woman called Eden revealed in Facebook group ‘Cleaning hacks’ that she places a towel beneath her little one to catch any crumbs.
She shared a snap of the clever set-up, and wrote: “Dirty towel = clean floor.”
Her savvy idea was popular with fellow members who also shared their own solutions.
Referring to when their children were young, one mum wrote: “I used a plastic shower curtain under the high chair.”
Dirty towel = clean floor.

Another commented: “I use a plastic table cloth.”
A third shared: “I used to use a black bin bag aha.”
And a fourth added: “My aunt would use newspaper taped together and pre-fold them for my little cousin because she made such a mess!”
Posting a snap of their peckish dog, a fifth joked: “Nothing gets past her.”

However, one fellow mum wasn’t quite so convinced and revealed a flaw with the hack.
She explained: “I can understand on carpet, but I’d find it easier to wipe the floor than add to my already huge washing mountains.
“Saying that…I don’t have to worry about that anymore as my youngest is 11 now. I guess it’s whatever works for you.”
