The cleaning pro, who regularly features on shows like This Morning, recently took to social media to show off her favourite finds from the budget-friendly supermarket.
In the viral video, Lynsey went through some of the best special buys she loves – and the prices are great if you’re on a strict budget.
First up, she picked up the Astonish Toilet Fresh in eucalyptus for just 89p, as well as the classic Astonish Multi-Purpose Cleaner Bleach – a must-have product for any home.
Aldi even had Scrub Daddy Damp Dusters available for just £2.99, which are great for getting rid of dust from blinds, mirrors, baseboards and more.
The reusable sponge just needs to rinsed under running water and it’s ready to go time and time again.
But one of Lynsey’s top products from Aldi was the Almat Premium Fabric Conditioner.
The laundry staple comes in a stunning cherry blossom scent, as well as a sea salt and driftwood scent – perfect for those who love a more traditionally feminine scent and those who like something a little more earthy.
Mr Muscle Stainless Steel & Hob spray was also in the middle aisle, and for just £1.99, and a “huge” 78 wash Ariel for just £11.25.
Lynsey also pointed out the Astonish Fizz & Fresh toilet bowl tablets, “I love these,” she said – and for just £1.48 you can’t go wrong.
Other bargains include the Minky Sponge Wipes for £1.99, Astonish Multi-Surface cleaner for 89p and huge 1k bags of Soda Crystals for £1.79.
And if you are on a budget but need to blitz your home clean, Lynsey also shared some top tips for doing it without breaking the bank.
She previously told The Sun:
Own brands 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!”
Natural whitener
For tough stains, or to brighten up white school shirts, Lynsey recommends putting a big scoop of bicarb into your washing machine with your usual laundry detergent.
“I’ve just cleaned my husband’s white trainers using it and they’ve come up beautifully white,” she adds.
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.”
5 cleaning hacks
Say goodbye to ironing
Don’t have time to smooth out the wrinkles of a shirt with an iron? Lenor‘s Crease Releaser makes wrinkles vanish – simply hang up creased items, give them a quick spritz and smooth against a hard surface.
Teabags for trainers
When trainers smell a little squiffy, pop a used (and still moist) tea bag inside and leave for about an hour. The tannins will seep into the sole of the shoe to fight nasty-smelling odours.
Remove limescale without scrubbing
When bathroom taps start looking a little grimy with limescale, slice a lemon in half and sprinkle on baking soda. Rub the fruit over the taps and with a gentle clean they will come up sparkling. Use a toothbrush to get in all the nooks and crannies.
Streak-free mirrors and windows
White vinegar is a handy secret weapon when it comes to keeping mirrors and windows streak-free. Mix one part white vinegar with four parts water in a spray bottle. Squirt then wipe with a microfibre cloth and voilà, clean glass in an instant.
Make your home smell amazing
For dust-free skirting boards, pour some fabric softener onto a cloth and give them a quick wipe. It will stop dirt collecting so quickly and, as an added bonus, make your home smell amazing.
