Cleanfluener Mrs Hinch, whose real name is Sophie Hinchliffe, was thrilled with her new products, which she described as smelling like a ‘holiday in a bottle’.

The mum-of-two explained in March: “I launch two laundry collections a year - a Spring/Summer one and an Autumn/Winter one.

“And I’ve been working for over a year on this one and it’s here and I can share it.”

As she proudly showed off her latest Spring/Summer 2024 collection, she beamed: “I’m buzzing.

“You can get your Lenor, your gel, your beads, your pods, whatever - find it, try it, please tell me what you think. I think it’s my best yet.”

But there's only so much you can garner from online pics, so I decided to put the products to the whiff test to see if they're worth your hard-earned cash. Here are my honest thoughts… 

I have to say, as soon as I opened up the box full of the bargain buys, I was smacked in the face with a stunning scent.

Even without opening the bottles, the smell was very impressive.

With prices starting at just £2.99, I was already pretty thrilled, but the unique smell left me open-mouthed, that’s for sure. 

I managed to get my hands on a selection of the Vacay Vibes products, all of which are in the scent Orange Blossom & Coastal Cypress.

'It smells amazing' shoppers rave as Mrs Hinch's brand new cleaning range hits Home Bargains - with prices from £2.99

For this test, I put on a load of dark washing and used two Bold Pods, the Lenor in-wash scent boosters, as well as the Outdoorables liquid.

Whilst the scent boosters were priced at just £2.99, the Outdoorables was £3.49, and a box of washing liquid capsules were £10.49, but has now been slashed to just £8.49.

With a fruity, whilst simultaneously woody smell, this was quite different to the Pink Blossom fragrance that I often wash my clothes with, but I wasn’t mad about it

After a quick 30-minute wash, I gave my now clean clothes a good sniff.

Not only was I impressed with the soft feel of my laundry, but the scent was pretty good too.

Although I’m not convinced that my clothes smelt like a ‘holiday’, as the cleanfluencer claimed, they did smell very fresh. 

With a fruity, whilst simultaneously woody smell, this was quite different to the Pink Blossom fragrance that I often wash my clothes with, but I wasn’t mad about it. 

Who is Mrs Hinch and what is her net worth?

Sophie found fame online thanks to her cleaning hacks and spotless home interiors.

The cleaning guru revealed that at the time, she wasn't looking for fame online, but decided to create the Home account to avoid "clogging up my personal Instagram and boring everyone with home pictures".

In her 20s, the star suffered from "anxiety and panic attacks" — but found that cleaning would help her cope.

"I would then get up and grab a cloth or a mop or a hoover and just start going."

As reported by the Sun last year, in 2023, Mrs Hinch's Instagram account makes Sophie the second best paid cleaning influencer in the world.

Research has revealed the cleaning-obsessed mum rakes in an average of £5.9k every time she posts on social media.

Although they were sodding wet, they had a lovely scent as though they had been dried outside.

I would definitely recommend these products - not just for the price, but for the crisp fragrance too.

I think next time I’ll add in double the amount of scent boosters, to see if that will really up the ante.

But I would definitely advise cash-strapped shoppers to get down to Home Bargains, and quickly, if they want to nab these cheap buys
