Why are they out of stock and why are people paying £10 for them? Have just had a friend ask me to check in my local B&M and dunelm for one is my area as hers have run out of them.

The worlds gone mad.

My first thought was something to clean your lady area and came to see if that was something I needed

A cleaning cloth. It's green and double sided. Mrs Hinch uses them on instagram and the worlds gone mad for them.

To much embarrassment I’ve just done some research on Mrs Hinch. Good on her but I cannot believe the stupid levels of obsession people are getting to! And he prices they’re paying!

It is a cleaning cloth from outer space that has mind control powers. It makes users think they need 789 of them, all purchased via affiliate links.

Without the alien leader, aka Mrs Hinch, no-one on planet Earth would know how to use said cloth.

Prior to Mrs Hinch, it had never occurred to me to spray my whole house with neat Zoflora, leave for 6 days, then wipe with my minky.

I too assumed it was a flannel that was for non-facial use. You live and learn!

Minky is the name of the factory in Rochdale that makes them.

It's what Inspector Clouseau used to wash his pet monkey.

£30 for a cleaning cloth [shocked] [faints]

I use old cut up cloth nappies Blush

It’s mental. I’ll stick to my Poundland cloths and bottle of flash Confused

Minky is what we call a fanjo in our house.

They're not £30.. that's because shameful people have bought them at the normal price before selling out and are now trying to sell them at inflated prices. Hopefully, people aren't silly enough to pay it!

I’ve had one for ages, at normal prices. Save your cash, they aren’t anything special.

Mumberjack · 10/10/2018 21:01

Isn’t it called a ‘minkeh’?
Looks like a nice cloth but I have no idea why people are paying stupid money for one.

Who the feck is Mrs hinch

Prior to Mrs Hinch, it had never occurred to me to spray my whole house with neat Zoflora, leave for 6 days, then wipe with my minky.

Prior to Mrs Hinch they were the material of choice for backing handmade washable sanitary towels. Wonder if she knows she’s wiping off zoflora with crafty hippy jam-rags?

Blood and sand I bet they're thrilled in Rochdale
