5 Great spring cleaning TIPS

Take advice from cleaning experts, Vileda and Marigold, and get your household chores done quickly – and with excellent results…

1

Blitz the nooks and crannies

all those forgotten areas under and behind furniture are a priority for 91%* of us when spring cleaning, but they also seem such a faff to get to. Not any more, after a quick sweep, use the innovative Vileda SuperMocio 3Action Mop, £6.99, and pick up dirt and grease in no time. With its 3D flocked power dots for extra dirt pick-up, a non-scratch scourer that tackles stubborn marks and a microfibre zone for deep cleaning, this mopping wonder gives 25% more contact with your floor than before. in fact, it’s the

uK’s number one selling mop**.

2

Don’t over-soak your floors

it’s a common mistake and easily done. the Vileda Bucket with Torsion Wringer, £6.99, used along with the superMocio 3action Mop, is a two-force system that allows you to twist and compress the mop without the need for muscles like arnie schwarzenegger. Result? your floors don’t get soaked, they dry much faster and end up super clean!

3

Get streak-free surfaces

While 82%* of us enjoy de-cluttering, the effect is lost somewhat if there are smears and fingerprints on glossy cupboard doors. use a Marigold Squeaky Clean Microfibre Cloth, £1.99, with its super absorbent coating that cleans and shines at the same time, for a streak-free, sparkling finish. it can even be used without chemicals, thanks to the microfibre cleaning power, and washed in the machine.

4

Go strong, but gentle on your freezer

use 2tbsp baking powder to 1 litre water to wipe clean your freezer, then tackle stubborn mess with a Marigold Cleaning Me Softly Scourer, £1.19 for two. the non-scratch abrasive layer is tough on mess, but gentle on delicate surfaces.

5

Be kind to your hands

if your hands and nails are well-protected there’ll be no holding you back when it comes to getting to grips with grime. We love Marigold Extra

Life Kitchen Gloves, £2.50. the uK’s best-selling rubber gloves**, they’re so durable you’ll want to put them to the test.
