Spring is in the air…
…which can only mean one thing. cleaning! home cleaning experts Vileda and Marigold tell us their tips for the easiest way to a sparkling home
There’s nothing like those first rays of spring sunshine to highlight the need for a deep clean. And there’s nothing like the satisfaction of when the house is sparkling, there’s a fresh vase of daffodils on the table, and you’ve got your feet up with a well-earned cup of tea and nothing to do but enjoy it.
Here are some tips from the experts on how to make the process as quick, easy and painless as possible using natural ingredients and cleaning innovations…
Perfect pairing
Whether you have laminate, tiles or vinyl, most floors would rather not get too much of a soaking. the Vileda superMocio 3action Xl Mop and bucket with torsion Wringer (rrP £6.99 each) is the number 1 bestselling mop and bucket brand in the uK*. the mop has 3d-flocked power dots for extra dirt and pet hair pick-up, a non-scratch scourer for tackling stubborn marks, and a microfibre zone for deep cleaning. the bucket and torsion wringer twists and compresses the mop head, removing excess water easily. clever. no wonder it’s the uK’s number 1.
Lemon magic
If one of your spring-cleaning missions is to make your shower doors shine, try rubbing them with half a lemon before wiping down with a Marigold squeaky clean cloth (rrP £1.99) to remove water marks. this microfibre cloth deep cleans with its unique super-absorbent coating, and locks in liquids to ensure even the glossiest of surfaces are left streak-free.
Cupboard love
For gleaming cupboards, mix 1 part white vinegar to 3 parts water and use with a Marigold cleaning Me softly (rrP £1.19) to scrub away dirt. this nonscratch scourer has a teflon-approved coating that won’t damage delicate surfaces, and it’s easy to rinse off debris.
Hang out the washing
Want to cut down on tumble dryer use? save money and energy with the Vileda Premium 2-in-1 Indoor airer (rrP £29.99), which boasts 18m of line length. Ideal for large laundry items, it has thick wires to help reduce creasing, and for smaller wash loads, it has a detachable wing to hook onto radiators. the planet will thank you for it.
