Household Chores Made Easy
These days there are plenty of devices to help take the drudge out of cleaning, making it easier, quicker and more effective.
Vacuuming & Polishing: An electric vacuum polisher will clean and shine hard wood floors in one go, saving you time and giving you a brilliant result.
Vacuum cleaners tend to fall into two different types: bagged and bagless. Both have their own merits and offer excellent, flexible cleaning power.
Bagged models have the benefit of keeping the dust sealed in when emptying, but you have to replace the bags each time.
Bagless models trap the dirt in a hard container, which is simply tipped out.
At the end of the day, it’s a matter of personal choice.
Window Cleaning: You can keep your windows sparkling clean for longer by using a spray-on treatment that leaves a smear-free water resistant coating.
Carpet Sweepers: Once standard equipment in every family home, they are still an invaluable aid. They can be used on carpets or hard floors and are still the quickest and simplest way to pick up crumbs or pet hair. They also fit neatly in the broom cupboard.
Steam Presses: Becoming increasingly popular, steam presses cut ironing time in half and produce a really professional finish. Consisting of two large plates that exert up to 100lbs of pressure, they’re easy to use and you can even sit down while you use them.
Steam Cleaning: Using steam rather than chemicals or solvents, steam cleaners are great for removing dirt, grime, stains and grease from most hard surfaces and curtains, though are not ideal for carpets. Ideal for allergy sufferers.
Electric Airers: These driers are extremely energy-efficient and inexpensive to run (they use as little power as a light bulb). They also put an end to clothes being draped over radiators to dry.
Lint Rollers: Perfect for removing hair and fluff from fabrics and the ideal way to clean cloth lampshades.
