You don’t have a squeegee in your life? Well, let’s change that. A squeegee may seem like a simple cleaning gadget, but it’s actually one of the handiest products you could add to your cleaning caddy. It’s a particular favourite of Lynsey Crombie, best-selling author and regular presenter on ITV's This Morning and GMB. She told us, ‘These are perfect for keeping in the shower to remove water as you come out of the shower to prevent limescale, but they are also great for cleaning windows, mirrors, high glass cabinets and shower screens.’

If you’re not sure which cleaning products to clean your whole home, you can never go wrong with cleaning with white vinegar. And while you can buy white vinegar in spray bottles, it often works out much cheaper to buy larger bottles of vinegar and pour them into your own spray bottles. These are currently on sale for the Amazon Prime Day event, and we think they're a total bargain.

FAQs

When is the best time to buy cleaning products on Amazon?

The best time to buy cleaning products and bulk buys is during Amazon Prime Day. This year the sales event from the retail giant will be live from the 8th to the 9th of October 2024 at midnight.

During Amazon Prime Day, you can expect a host of cleaning brands with Amazon storefronts to slash their prices, including plenty of Ideal Home favourites, like Shark, Vax, Vileda, Kärcher, Dettol, and more.

The only stickler is that you have to be an Amazon Prime member to take advantage of the discounts, but once you're signed up, you’ll have all of the discounted products at your fingertips.
