She took to TikTok to share what you should keep in your cleaning cupboard if you want your place to sparkle and shine.
First up is the oversized microfibre cloths, they’re £2.99 for a pack of four.
“These are perfect for getting down on your hands and knees to scrub the floors,” she said.
You could also pick up a pack of 20 microfibre cloths for just £4.99, the cleaning whizz added.
Over in the beauty section of the shop, Lynsey recommended the honey and ginger exfoliating body scrub.
Not only does it come in a large one litre bottle that’ll last you ages, but it smells amazing and is priced at just £2.49.
There’s also the Astonish Protect and Care antibacterial handwash in the Peony Bloom scent, which is just 89p.
“Perfect for keeping those winter germs away,” Lynsey said.
And finally, if you want to spruce up your floors, don’t miss the Method All Floor Cleaner.
It’ll only cost you £2.79 and will leave your floors “super shiny” according to the cleaning expert.

Own brands are 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!”
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.”
Life gives you lemons
Cleaning the oven is probably one of the worst jobs around the house.
To blast the grease off, Lynsey uses her steam cleaner for her floors in handheld mode.
If you don’t have one of those to hand, she recommends using a lemon.
She says: “Mix a bit of lemon juice with washing up liquid or bicarbonate of soda and put it all over the area.
“Leave it to work for about 20 minutes and then just simply rinse away.”
She also recommends Astonish’s Oven and Grill Paste Cleaner for the inside.
