I’m a cleanaholic – I spend £50 a week on my obsession & got disinfectants for my 40th, my hubby thinks I’m crazy
A SELF-professed cleanaholic has revealed she spends almost £3,000 a year on cleaning products - and even gets them as birthday presents.
Corrina Richards, 47, forks out around £50 a week on Zoflora products and always carries at least one in her handbag at all times.
She said: “I don’t go out very often and I don’t drink, so cleaning and buying Zoflora is my ‘vice.’ It’s safe to say my husband thinks I’m crazy."
Corrina bought her first Zoflora product with some spare pocket money when she was just seven-years-old after her nan introduced her to the cleaning brand.
And she says it's been a "love affair ever since".
She said: I’m utterly addicted to Zoflora – I am Zoflora mad.
"I have Zoflora T-shirts, hoodies and pens. I even turned our utility room into a place to store all my Zoflora, I have that much of it.
"For my 40th birthday my friends got me a hamper of 40 different Zoflora products, which was the best present ever. I’ve also kept one of my Nan’s original bottles of Zoflora, which is really sentimental to me."
She added: “I am that obsessed, I take Zoflora everywhere with me and there’s always some in my handbag.
"I’ve been known to even start cleaning tables on a train before with my handy Zoflora Antibacterial Wipes.

"I also take it to work with me and it’s now a staple in our cleaning cupboard, everyone loves it almost as much as I do."
Corrina's revelation comes as people across the country begin their big post-Christmas clean as they tidy away the decorations and tree.
But for Corrina, it's business as usual.
“I don’t have a strict cleaning routine as I am always cleaning, so I’d like to think my house is always tidy", she said.
“There’s no better feeling than having a clean and tidy home, not just for me, but for my guests to enjoy too – including the long-lasting fragrances Zoflora leaves behind.
"My all-time favourite product to use when doing a clean is the original Zoflora Multipurpose Concentrated Disinfectant. I love it as there’s so many purposes for it, I use it absolutely everywhere.
"I look forward to getting home, putting my music on and having a good clean – I will just zone out and go to my happy place."
But the cleaning fanatic does have a favourite hack when it comes to using her beloved Zoflora.
She said: "The best one is to soak cotton wool in neat Zoflora and strategically place them around the house, which makes my home smell beautiful – everyone always comments on how fragrant my home is.”
