Aldi shoppers hail’ genius’ 99p viral cleaning spray that leaves every room spotless with minimum effort
A CLEANFLUENCER has revealed her cheap hacks for cleaning spots most forgotten around the home.
With one product for less than £1, Danielle Smith (@cleaningwithdanielled on TikTok) showed her 1.9 million followers how to keep clean regularly overlooked and difficult areas.
She praised the Powerforce Multi-Surface Cleaner with Bleach from Aldi as “amazing” in leaving the home sparkling clean.
At just 89p for 750ml, she said the spray was able to tackle everything from cupboard tops to doorhandles.
Her video posted to TikTok was captioned “5 spots we often for get to clean”.
Hard to reach places included toothbrush holders, external door and window frames, top of kitchen cupboards, door handles, light switches, and TV remotes.
Danielle said: “These are the places my followers are always asking for help with, and it only takes seeing a room from a different angle or in a different light to realise something needs cleaning.
“I remember standing on a chair in the kitchen to grab something and spotting dust and grime on top of my cupboards – I didn’t want to buy a whole new product just for that hard-to-reach area”.
To clean the top of kitchen cupboards, her main advice was around the use and folding of a microfibre cloth with Powerforce Multi-Surface Cleaner with bleach, to avoid having to get up and down from the elevated surface.
For Danielle, “This method (also) gives you eight clean sides out of one cloth and avoids spreading any dirt or grime around”.
To clean TV remotes, she suggested spritzing a light amount of the spray directly onto a microfibre cloth and wiping down the remote, particularly around the buttons and crevices.
An old toothbrush could also be used to provide an even closer clean into the nooks and crannies, before wiping down.
Danielle’s hack for cleaning external door and window frames was considered “genius” from followers, with one saying “that sponge is everything”.
It involved cutting two vertical lines into a kitchen sponge, then soaking it in the Powerforce Multi-Surface Cleaner with Bleach, enabling the sponge to slide easily between grooves provide a deeper, more effective clean of frames around the house.
Another unique hack Danielle revealed was in the cleaning of toothbrush holders, where she suggested using clingfilm to effectively dislodge stubborn dirt from the bottom.
She demonstrated how she fills the toothbrush holder with warm water and a splash of the cleaner, then covers it with clingfilm before shaking to rinse the cup.
With door handles and light switches, Danielle also used a microfibre cloth with the cleaner, leaving it to sit on the surfaces for around five minutes before wiping them.
This ensured as much of the germs and bacteria as possible could be killed.
“Anything you touch daily without realising – make sure to get into any crevices where germs can hide,” she said.
The Powerforce Multi-Surface Cleaner with Bleach is among a variety of budget household cleaning products sold by Aldi.
This has led to homeowners sharing their cleaning hacks around the house that have gained popularity on social media sites like TikTok.
