Kitchen

The so-called "Mrs Hinch effect" was first felt on the £1 disinfectant Zoflora, which can be found in Poundland.

The 28-year-old - real name Sophie Hinchcliffe - dilutes the mixture with water and uses it to mop her floors.

And the great news is that they also come in a festive range with an array of seasonal scents.

Mrs Hunch also highly recommends Stardrops 4-in-1 Pine Disinfectant Spray which you can get from  from her go-to Poundstretcher.

She recommends this for cleaning the sink daily and the product will only set you back 79p.

To help scrub away the grime, she uses Spontex microfibre kitchen kit which can be bought for just £2.50 from Amazon and Asda.

As well as Elbow Grease Power Clothes which at just £1 at B&M have been hailed a "game-changer" by fans.

Among her other kitchen bargains is Cif cream with micro crystals which she uses to deep clean the hob.

And again at just £1 a pop at her beloved Poundstretcher, getting your kitchen shiny and clean won't bust the bank.

Finally, the star can't recommend FlashUltra Power multi-surface enough.

The product is just 90p and since she uses it diluted, it lasts even longer.

Bathroom

Mrs.Hinch sure knows how to keep her bathrooms in tip top shape.

It may be the least desirable room to clean but the cleaning guru has found some handy, and not to mention cheap, shortcuts to make the task less arduous.

Always one for a bargain, Mrs.Hinch raves about Harpic Active Fresh in Mountain Pine.

She uses the product to clean her toilet daily and it costs a mere £1.

Likewise, at the same price is Flash bathroom spray, another favourite of the Influencer.

She also uses the product daily in the bathroom alongside her trusted anti-bacterial sponge Minky, which can be purchased for just £2.49.

Mrs.Hinch waxes lyrical about Astonish Power Clean toilet bowl tablets.

They'll set you back just £1.49 and are available to buy at any leading retailer.

Alongside these, she's also a fan of using the £2 Bloo foam aroma fragranced powder which she adds a capful of into the toilet every day.

As well as Toilet Duck 4in1 Liquid Cleaner Fresh Pine at just 90p for 750 ml from Poundstretcher.

And finally, how could we not mention her trusty Viakal at just £2.

The limescale remover is a must to leave those taps and surfaces so shiny that you can see your own reflection in them.

Bedroom/ Living room

Mrs.Hinch is so besotted with her fluffy Pledge feather duster that she has even nicknamed it Dave.

And the good news is you can get your hands on your very own 'Dave' for just £2.50 at Wilko.

The star uses her Dave alongside Mr Sheen multi-surface polish, which at just £1.35 is very reasonably priced.

To combat really tough stains she uses Astonish Mould and Mildew Blaster which costs just £1.

And to keep all of her door handles, hard surfaces and upholstery in tip-top shape she uses the Dettol all-in-one disinfectant spray at £1.80.

In one of her many household tips shared with fans, she revealed how she adds Tesco's £1.25 tumble drier sheets to pillowcases and cushions each week to ensure that they're extra fragrant.

The star's fans went wild when she transformed her littered make-up drawers with 69p baskets from Poundstretchers.

Ever the resourceful one she bought a heap of the cheap containers to create order and organisation to her formerly chaotic mess of lotions and potions.

Carpets, floors and landings

As mentioned above, Mrs.Hinch always goes for Zoflora when it comes to mopping her floors.

Mrs.Hinch reckons her Vileda 1-2 spray mop is a must but it will set you back £16.19.

However the good news is that it is a one off purchase so won't need to be replaced until after a lot of use.

She is also a fan of £1.50 Cif floor wipes.

But when it comes to her carpets, it's 1001 Carpet Fresh in Thai Orchard and Passion Fruit that she can't resist for sprucing up tired or smelly carpets, rugs, stairs and landings.

And at £1.79 at Poundstretcher, it won't bust the bank.

Likewise, when it comes to removing pesky carpet stains, she always turns to Dr.Beckmann Carpet Stain Remover.

And at just £3 a pop, it's worth every penny!

Laundry room

In order to keep her clothes smelling fresh out the laundry, Mrs.Hinch uses Lenor fabric softener in 'Spring Awakening' which sets her back just £1.80.

She is also a fan of the slightly more expensive Ariel Gel for cold washes, though this will set you back a steeper £5.50.

And to remove stains and brighten colours she opts for Ace Gentle Stain Remover, which is reasonably priced at just £2.

It seems like the laundry room is where the star is more willing to part with her cash.

Among her other favourites are the more expensive Astonish Oxy Active Plus fabric stain remover at £6.44, as well as Lenor Unstoppables 'in-wash scent booster' at £6.

The Instagram Influencer proves herself to be resourceful once more by filling small organza bags with the product and scattering them around her home to make it smell nice.
