Queen of Clean Lynsey Crombie has shared a shopping list from bargain shop Savers that will cost you less than a tenner and ensure you have everything you need to get the job done.
First up, Lynsey grabbed some Bicarb of Soda for just £1.39, which can be used for a whole range of cleaning tasks around the house, making it a staple to keep stocked up on.
She also bagged a bottle of Elbow Grease spray for £1.19, Washing up liquid for 89p, sponges for £1.19 and white vinegar for 30p, and a dish brush for 49p.
Not only that, but with her £10 budget Lynsey also managed to get her hands on Cif Cream Lemon, £1.49, Easy Premium Bleach, £1, Astonish Iconic Linen, £1.
The cleaning haul came to just £9.83, meaning you can fill you cupboards without breaking the bank.
Not only that, but all the products Lynsey bagged can be used in loads of different ways around your home, so you’re really getting the most bang for your buck.
After sharing her picks, fellow cleaning fans raved about her product choices, as one wrote: “You always share the best buys that work a treat.”
And a second agreed: “So many goodies!”
“Gotta pick up the cream cleaner,” another wrote.
Previously, Lynsey shared some of her best budgeting tips for keeping your home clean.
Own brands are just as good
Buying big name brands can feel like the safe option when it comes to cleaning products.
But Lynsey urges people to shop around and try cheaper supermarket own-brand products, which she insists are usually comparable.
She says: “You can buy an own-brand multi-purpose cleaner and the performance is still going to be just as good.
“So when you go down that aisle, make sure that you look for the bargains – usually on the bottom shelf.
“You can buy disinfectant for around 20p, which is just as good as a leading disinfecting brand!”
Washing up liquid – not just for dishes
Another of Lynsey’s favourite products is good old-fashioned washing up liquid.
She says: “You can wash your bath with it, wash your shower screen with it, wash your car, floors, the list goes on.
“And, as we all know, you can get a cheap bottle of washing up liquid for 60p.
“It’s so versatile. It’s one product that will clean almost every surface in my house.”
Life gives you lemons
Cleaning the oven is probably one of the worst jobs around the house.
To blast the grease off, Lynsey uses her steam cleaner for her floors in handheld mode.
If you don’t have one of those to hand, she recommends using a lemon.
She says: “Mix a bit of lemon juice with washing up liquid or bicarbonate of soda and put it all over the area.
“Leave it to work for about 20 minutes and then just simply rinse away.”
She also recommends Astonish’s Oven and Grill Paste Cleaner for the inside.
