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. I'm a cleaning whizz, using a 15p household item will make your tap shine in minutes 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.'

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.

I'm the Queen of Clean & I dust hard to reach places easily with my 80p DIY tool – using things you likely already have
CLEANING those hard to reach places can be tricky, but it doesn't have to be. Lynsey Crombie, better know as 2 Lynsey shared her clever trick on Instagram Credit: Instagram/lynsey_queenofclean 2 The hack is perfect for dusting under cupboards, fridges and more Credit: Instagram/lynsey_queenofclean The cleaning whizz recently took to social media to share her trick - and all you need to try it out is an old sock and a coat hanger. "I love my flathead duster for cleaning under appliances — but here's a quick hack if you don't have one: "Grab a wire hanger, pop a sock over the end, and slide it under your dishwasher, washing machine, or fridge. It pulls out all the hidden dust and gunk," she captioned the viral video. In the clip, she demonstrated her quick trick, and slid the sock under her fridge. READ MORE ON CLEANING To her own amazement, plenty of dust and gunk was cleared out in an instant. The trick is perfect if you're in a pinch and need something to clean with fast, or even if you don't fancy spending money on loads of different cleaning utensils. After sharing the savvy hack on Instagram other cleaning fans chimed in to share their love of the cleaning method. "Socks make great dusters," one person wrote. Most read in Fabulous And a second said: "Oh wow I dread to think what is under our fridge freezer." "Loving this a fab idea and so satisfying," a third commented. I'm a cleaning whizz, using a 15p household item will make your tap shine in minutes "You come up with the best hacks Lynsey," another wrote. But the trick isn't the only one the cleaning whizz swears by, she previously shared her list of Dishcloths According to Lynsey, kitchen sponges and dish clothes can be "dirtier than your toilet seat". She insisted they must be cleaned daily, and recommends putting them on the top shelf of the dishwasher or in a bucket of boiling water and bleach, or another cleaning agent. Door handles Front door handles need to be cleaned twice a week due to being exposed to more bacteria and germs, Lynsey said. However, you can get away with cleaning indoor handles once a week, so long as everyone regularly washes their hands regularly. Fridge-freezer Fridges can be a 'bacteria breeding ground' due to the variety of food stored there, so Lynsey advised cleaning it once a month. To cut down on the work, she suggests storing items in fridge trays, wiping up spillages straight away, and keeping a close eye on cheese which can cause bad smells. Cleaning your freezer is a 'time-consuming task' as it requires defrosting, so a quick hack to cut down on the work is to disinfect touch points - like the handle. Lynsey also recommended putting kitchen towel over a blunt knife and running it around the appliance's rubber seals to remove black mould and any crumbs. Bins Bins can be a fly magnet - especially pesky fruit-flies which are hard to get rid of. Lynsey said it's worth rinsing them out and using disinfectant once a week. Blankets Blankets are a must to keep warm during the cost of living crisis. But they can gather dust. Lynsey recommended cleaning them between once a month and every other month, dependent on your household.
