Cleaning influencer Mrs Hinch has built a following of 4 million fans with her Instagram stories, where she shares her life at home with husband, Jamie, son Ronnie and dog Henry. But keeping up with the Essex based cleaning guru can come with a price tag.

Anyone who's caught a few of her videos will be familiar with her cupboards of neatly arranged cleaning products. However, we have a little cheat up our sleeve in the form of some Aldi dupes. With a few Aldi swaps, you could save almost £100 a year on your own Hinch-haul.
Aldi cleaning products
Mrs Hinch may have missed a spot as some branded cleaners can cost up to £51 per product for an average yearly supply. Aldi has calculated that with a simple swap to their own products, Mrs Hinch could cut her cleaning budget by at least half. Saving over £96 a year by switching to award-winning Aldi products.
If you are sniffing at the idea of Aldi cleaning products, we can confirm that they definitely pack a punch. The Aldi Almat is tried and tested by the Ideal Home team - trust us you won't know the difference. But your purse strings definitely will.
Aldi equivalents cost less than £18 per year to stock up on – compared to up to £51 for the branded version. Comparing how much Aldi’s cleaning products were worth and using an average figure of 6 packs needed per buyer per year, the retailer predicted that Mrs Hinch could be £96.38 better off a year with just nine simple product switches.
Even just changing from Fairy Non-Bio Pods (£8.50 at Sainsbury's, 40 washes) to two tubs of Aldi’s Almat Triple Chamber Non-Bio Laundry Sachets (£2.99, 20 washes) saves you almost 30%, proving that even one switch could save you some of your hard-earned cash each year.
