Flash Power Spray Mop Floor Cleaner is an all-in-one spray system that's ready to use right out of your closet.
It gives you a quick and impeccable clean on all your floors with the power and convenience of a washable microfibre pad.
Just spray, clean and done, it is that simple - but it's pricey as £40 at Sainsbury's.
But, Aldi's Spray Mop Set at only £11.99 is a great dupe and will also leave you with sparking clean floors.
Like the Flash product there are no more heavy buckets to carry around and it picks up 50% more dirt and dust than a regular strand mop.
It just goes to show that you don't have to spend a fortune to keep your cupboards stocked up with all the essential cleaning products.
In fact, Aldi has got you covered with their huge range of cleaning staples - and even the Queen of Clean Lynsey Crombie is a fan.
One of Lynsey's top products 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 like something a little more earthy.
Meanwhile. shoppers have been racing to Morrisons for a 'crazy cleaning clearance' with prices slashed from £6 to just 22p.

Home Bargains selling cute drinks dispenser perfect for summer garden parties
A CUTE drinks dispenser perfect for summer parties is being sold by discount retailer Home Bargains. Spotted in stores nationwide, this "charming" garden accessory is perfect for outdoor gatherings in the sunshine. 1 Home Bargains' Strawberry Glass Drink Dispenser is up for grabs for just £7.99. With a six litre capacity and the warmer weather upon us, the dispenser is an ideal accessory for throwing a garden bash or keeping cool on those hot days. The description reads: "Add a touch of charm to your outdoor gatherings with our Strawberry Glass Picnicware from the Outdoor Living Collection. "Perfect for picnics, barbecues, and al fresco dining, this delightful collection combines practicality with a stylish strawberry-themed design." The bargain buy was spotted by shoppers on Facebook on the Extreme Bargains UK group. The posts quickly filled with excited comments, tags and likes. However, one unhappy customer did warn that the dispenser "does nothing but leak". Drink dispensers are all the rage this summer and if this one doesn't quite take your fancy, there are plenty more bargains to be had. Just this month, Aldi launched a bargain beer dispenser on Specialbuy shelves. Just in time for Father's Day, the Ambiano beer dispenser is a classic bargain buy at just £24.99. With several innovative designs, it makes it perfect for small parties or large events and will be available from June 1. But if you're not quite in the market for beer dispensers, B&M is selling a prosecco dispenser that can hold a whopping three litres of booze. The fizz container even comes fit with LED lights that change to a range of different colours. For anyone not keen on prosecco, the product can also be used for wine, where it can hold the equivalent of four bottles, and beer. It can be yours for £25 but keep an eye out as B&M have previously reduced the dispenser by 50 per cent. Shoppers also went mad for another bargain B&M buy last month, hailed as the ultimate garden party essential. At just £20, the Big chill Cocktail Slushie Maker is a steal, especially when compared to high-end rivals. Whether you're hosting a barbecue, chilling in the sun, or planning a big night in, this gadget promises to deliver instant icy cocktails in seconds. How to find gardening bargains Doing up your garden to enjoy on warm and sunny days needn't cost the earth. Sun Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to get a top deal on items for the garden… You can bag big savings on plants, shrubs and flowers, as well as gardening tools and furniture. Many retailers have flash sales across entire seasonal ranges – often these promotions tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout. Sign up to mailing lists of your favourite brands and you'll be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too. Use a price comparison site to search out the best value items. And keep a close eye on the specialbuys at Aldi and middle of Lidl drops which drop a couple of times a week and usually mean great value seasonal items for your outdoor areas. If you are not in a hurry to buy an item, try adding it to the shopping cart online and leaving it for a couple of days. Sometimes big brands will try to tempt you into the sale by offering you a discount. And always check if you can get cashback before paying. It's especially worth using sites such as Topcashback, Quidco and app Jamdoughnut when buying bigger ticket items such as garden furniture as you'll get a nice kickback.

Rachel Reeves told petrol prices would be near record highs without current fuel duty cuts
The Keep It Down tax break for drivers is safe until next year 'VITAL CUT' Rachel Reeves told petrol prices would be near record highs without current fuel duty cuts Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PETROL prices would be near record highs without the current fuel duty cuts, Rachel Reeves was warned today. The AA cheered the lowest pump costs since July 2021 - but says it is solely due to the 5p cut to the hated driving tax won by The Sun's Keep It Down campaign. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up A drop in the price of petrol saw service stations charge 132.3p a litre on Thursday – a fall from 135.5p in early April. Without the 5p cut, the cost of fuelling a car would now be an average 138.3p a litre, according to the AA. The Keep It Down tax break for drivers is safe until next year. But Ms Reeves is under huge pressure from Labour MPs to find more money to fund benefits, and that could result in an onslaught of tax hikes at the 2026 Spring Budget. Read More on Politics POT OF GOLD Rachel Reeves' pension 'megafund' reforms to bag retirees £6,000 extra each Luke Bosdet, spokesperson for the AA said: 'The importance of the continuing 5p cut in fuel duty cannot be underestimated. 'Without the duty cut, petrol would still be uncomfortably close to the record level seen before the pandemic and Ukraine war economic shock. 'The Chancellor needs to consider this in upcoming tax deliberations.' The Sun's asks Rachel Reeves' constituents their thoughts on fuel duty rises

I tried supermarket versions of Magnums… 38p per treat winner was packed with first-class flavour & chunky chocolate
MAGNUM lollies have long been a favourite summer treat but they're even more popular since Brat pop star Charli XCX was spotted with one at Cannes this month. However, stocking up on them can be expensive as they cost around £3.50 for a pack of three. 9 Last week Aldi launched new flavours of its own dupes for around £2.49 a pack. But how do they compare on taste? Laura Stott put stores' own versions to the test and rated them out of five. Classic Magnum, 3 x 100ml, £3.50, Tesco ORIGINAL Magnums – which are made by big-name brand Wall's – are famous for their thick and delicious choccie coating and they don't disappoint on this front. When you unwrap and tuck in, the shell shatters and snaps in the most satisfying way but the shards of choc I found surprisingly lacking in flavour, with none of the creaminess you'd expect considering the generous amount you get. The vanilla ice cream was tasty, nice and thick and it didn't melt too quickly so I had both ice cream and coating on my stick all the way to the bottom of this eat. There is nothing wrong with what you'll find in this box and they are a best-seller for a reason, but that comes at a price. 3/5 Amour Choc Mint, 3 x 110ml, Morrisons, £2.25 9 LIKE the classic after-dinner nibble but in ice cream form, if you love fresh flavours these will be a good buy. Inside you find three minty ice creams with a thick texture, so it doesn't drip if you want to savour it and eat slowly. 'survey reveals what your ice cream eating habits could say about your personality' Nice chocolate around the outside but despite having decent ingredients this perfectly pleasant lolly just lacked a little something to make it really spark. The ice cream perhaps needs a bit more mint coming through and the chocolate on the outside was noticeably thinner than on some of the others. The price is excellent, however, and you get a big lolly. If you like mint they are certainly worth a go. 3/5 Gianni's Pink Lemonade, 3 x 90ml, Aldi, £2.49 ALDI'S new Gianni's Luxury Pink Lemonade Chocsticks cost £2.49 for three lollies, which shouldn't cause as much of a meltdown at the till as buying a packet of genuine Magnums. These certainly look rather flashy, with a fun appearance which is bound to go down well with the kids if you stick a pack in the freezer when doing the family shop. The combo inside of lemon ice cream and raspberry sorbet with an exterior coated in thick white chocolate and pieces of popping candy is good fun and has some serious 'by the beach and on holiday' vibes. This was a very sugary-tasting lolly and the citrus flavour of the ice cream middle gets a bit lost with all the competing tastes. But as a warm weather treat it's a bit different and very jolly. Rather like an ice cream sundae on a stick. 4/5 Almond Sticks, 3 x 75g, M&S/Ocado, £2.40 VERY good value from M&S but these own-brand ice cream options were a little disappointing when it came to flavour, despite looking and smelling delicious. More of a short and chunky choc ice on a stick but they did seem rather fun-sized compared to some of the other own-brand whoppers and it was hard not to feel a little short-changed when they came out of the box. The taste is inoffensive but I thought the ice cream was very bland and thin, with none of the creamy vanilla richness I was hoping for. A bit of a choc ice of two halves however, as the choccie coating was delicious, with a great flavour and rammed with nutty nibs. A better ice cream filling would be a real game-changer here. 3/5 Chocolate and Caramel, 3 x 110ml, £1.19, Tesco A WARM weather bargain from Tesco. This box of three lollies was a winner at the till, coming in at an incredible 38p per ice which is a summer steal, and almost a third of the price of buying the big brand. Flavour-wise I thought they were first class and in the box you get three massive licks which should satisfy the whole family. Each has tasty caramel flavour ice cream in the middle, which is coated with a chunky layer of milk choc, enhanced with Crunchie-style honeycomb pieces. The choccie outer was the best part of this bite, thick enough to ensure you get that lovely snap if you like to nibble off shards to eat first, like I do. There wasn't a huge amount of the honeycomb pieces which some might find disappointing but, for me, any more would have been too sickly, so I was very happy. Great value for money, and a tasty treat. Winner - 5/5 Double Dip Choc Raspberry, 3 x 88ml, £3.25, Sainsbury's THESE are very fancy choc and fruit-flavoured ice creams which will bring a touch of luxury to your freezer and work just as well as a dessert or garden eat. Inside you get yummy raspberry ice cream which has a thick, creamy flavour and tastes just as delicious and decadent as any posh tub you might buy. There's a double-thickness milk chocolate layer on the outside which delivers the satisfying shatter you want, and to cut through all that richness there's a sparky and zingy raspberry sauce sandwiched in the middle. These are a real grown-up treat and delicious, but the cost is rather high. And considering the price tag, the lollies themselves are a bit too dinky. 3/5 Chocolate Almond Coated, 3 x 110ml, Asda, £2.10 A WELL-PRICED own-brand choc treat that works well as a keep-everyone-happy summertime snack. More classic in taste than some others, so what you find on your stick is a scrummy vanilla ice cream dipped in a coating of milk choc with tasty roasted almond nibs. For the price I thought these were super quality and you also get a lot for your money as they are very substantial. The vanilla whippy-style middle tasted enjoyable, with an ice cream van- style soft texture, and roasting the nutty nibs gave enjoyable additional taste as well as texture. The choc was a little thin and the lolly did start to separate and melt too fast, but that didn't stop me scoffing the lot and then licking my fingers! 4/5 Gelatelli Double Caramel, 4 x 85ml, Lidl, £4.49 9 I WAS surprised at the steep price of these own-brand licks from Lidl, which were the second-costliest I tried after the Wall's original Magnums. That said, they are pretty fancy lollies with a lot of flavours packed on to the wooden stick. Inside the chunky milk choc outer you'll find it crammed with nutty nibs, then a thick layer of caramel sauce, ice cream with biscuit, more nut flavours and then more white chocolate, plus biccie pieces. There's an awful lot going on here, which is generous – and if you love a toffee-style ice cream cone you'll probably think these are fab. I found them a bit messy to eat, and the stick was almost too small for all the goodies attached to it. But if you have a sweet tooth you'll be in heaven. They're overpriced though, and paying less for a more streamlined ice will keep everyone just as happy. 2/5
