Last week, the Queen of cleaning, Mrs Hinch, declared one of her "must have" cleaning products, a £1.89 product from B&M.
It’s not the first time Mrs Hinch has favoured the ‘1001 Carpet fresh Pet’ carpet cleaner in the scent Thai Orchid & Passionfruit. Considering it’s so easy to purchase from either B&M or Home Bargains, I had to get my hands on the product to see what all the fuss was about.
Mrs Hinch claims the spray "freshens up" rugs in a hurry, without the need to hoover. On the back of the product, the description says the spray "banishes everyday smells from tobacco and cooking" and is great to use "after or in-between vacuuming".

The fine foam is said to "dry in minutes" and tackles lingering and tough odours to leave your room smelling fresh and fragrant. Despite the popularity surrounding this nifty product, I managed to get my hands on a can of the spray quite easily at my local Home Bargains for £1.89, now it was time to try it.
The spray
The spray was in a nice pink can and contained 300ml of the product, and considering it was £1.89, you got a decent amount for the price. I wasn’t too sure what to expect with the spray considering there’s a lot of hype around it, so I hoovered first before applying it to my carpet.
As the product description explains, you don’t have to use it after hoovering, you can use it during or after, or if you don’t have time to hoover at all. It also comes in a few other scents, including Soft Jasmine & Linen and Exotic Flowers & Pink Grapefruit.
I sprayed the product onto my carpet straight after hoovering and was surprised at the consistency of the spray. It was quite a thick foam, to the point where I panicked it was going to leave marks on my carpet!
Sure enough, the foam disappeared within seconds, and left my carpet smelling amazing and feeling fluffy and plump. The application of the spray was nice and easy too, and the nozzle allowed for a nice even distribution of product.
I couldn’t believe how long the scent actually lasted. Two hours after spraying the product I could still smell it up the stairs and on my rug downstairs. It wasn’t as strong but it was definitely still present.
Perhaps I’m a novice in the cleaning world, but I’ve never really used a product like this before and it seriously impressed me. It left each room smelling fresh and clean for hours, and finished off my spring clean perfectly.
The verdict
I was pretty blown away with this product, especially considering the price. For those who are after a quick refreshing fix, this spray is definitely a good option. There’s been countless times where I’ve hoovered my carpet and each room hasn’t smelt fresh (probably down to my dog) but now, this dreamy product is definitely the answer.
I totally understand why Mrs Hinch loves this product, and I’ll be continuing to use it for a quick spritz when cleaning my house. Purchase the spray from Tesco here or find it at your local B&M or Home Bargains.
