Primark is selling their own Minky sponges - and they're a lot cheaper

So far we've been tempted into Elvis elbow grease, Sharon the shark, and of course, our beloved Minky, but it seems that now there could be a cheaper way to feed our Hinching obsession... and it's all thanks to Primark.

As the affordable high street store has just started selling its own version of the famous Minky sponges , lovingly named by Mrs Hinch herself.

Whilst they're not the real thing so we can't confirm how good they are, they are a lot cheaper than the originals.

Costing £2 for a pack of two (essentially £1 each), the cloths are essentially a third of the price of the standard "m cloth" minky, which are currently £3.10 for one on Amazon.

The new addition was originally spotted by bargain hunter Georgina Pybus, who posted a photo of her find on Facebook page Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK.

Already available in Primark stores all across the nation, the packs claim to be antibacterial just like the traditional Minky, although there's no word on their effectiveness.

Meanwhile, Minkys have been made famous by online cleaning guru Mrs Hinch, who loves their non-scratch but high density microfibre surface.

She's also a big fan of Scrub Daddy sponges, which boast similar non-scratch technology as well as turning firm in cold water and gentle in warm water.

Scrub Daddy sponges currently cost £4.30 each on Amazon.
