When you need help getting gunk out of the plughole

Drain Weasel will do the job for you: the disposable ‘microhooks’ on the head get a hold of and grab up any discarded hair (which is usually what’s blocking the drain).

Then just a flick of the quick-release handle ensures you don’t have to go near the nasty clump!

Get your jewels sparkling again

If your best jewellery comes out only occasionally, you’ll probably  find that the gold has tarnished. (When you wear jewellery, it’s constantly being rubbed against your clothes and skin, which keeps the tarnish at bay.) #

And the purer the gold, the less it tarnishes as it’s the other metals mixed in that discolour.

To get everything sparkling again, soak in lemon juice or use a proprietary gold cleaner such as Town Talk Exquisite Jewel Sparkle.

The awareness to decrease usage of harmful chemicals and their presence in runoff water is a major factor for the growth of the global steam cleaner market. The rise in construction, hospitality, commercial, and retail industries and the growing adoption of energy-efficient and sustainable practices are other main factors driving the growth.

One of the emerging trends witnessed is the introduction of environmentally sustainable services. Green cleaning mainly refers to the usage of amenities that have a less impact on human health and the environment. Equipment manufacturers are constantly evolving technology to meet industrial standards, thereby generating several opportunities for the players. Both residential and commercial end-users in developed countries and in a few emerging economies are focusing on adopting sustainable technologies.

The following factors are likely to contribute to the growth of the steam cleaner market during the forecast period:


• Improving Hygiene Standards in Commercial Landscape
• Increasing Demand from Hospitality Industry
• Growing Traction toward Green Cleaning Technology
• Increasing Usage in Carpet Cleaning

When you just cannot face cleaning that oven….

The easiest, least painful way to deal with this is to get a company such as Ovenu in to give it a thorough valet and bring it back to a pristine state. Prices vary according to where you live and what sort of cooker you have.

Freshen up your vacuum cleaner bag

Take the nozzle of your vacuum cleaner along the bottom of an empty box of washing powder (you know those annoying bits that get welded on to the base!).

This gives the vacuum bag a lovely smell that goes right through the house as you hoover!

Several ways to remove a ring mark from a wooden surface

Take a shelled Brazil nut (without the chocolate coating!) and rub along the grain of the wood. Or use Brasso with a soft duster, again going with the grain. Or if there’s a smoker in the house, a little ash on a dampened soft cloth should sort it.

Why you should deep-clean your carpets

If you suffer from allergies, things can get pretty miserable if you’re not on top of the dust around the house.

Carpet care specialists Rug Doctor did a survey that discovered that while three-quarters of us think our home is clean, around half of us have never deep- cleaned our carpets. And did you know that an average family of four sheds over 3lb of skin a year!

So just walking around a carpeted house will cause dust and dust mite droppings to become airborne, which could trigger an asthma attack.

Vacuuming will go only so far…so hire a deep cleaning machine and get those carpets done soon!

Keep your steering wheel healthy!

Research has shown that nine times more germs live on a car steering wheel than a public toilet seat, yet who remembers to clean it?

Added to the fact that most of us are guilty of snacking while driving, it’s no wonder that food poisoning is so rife.

Give the wheel a wipe-over with warm soapy water every now and then, and keep a pack of wipes in the car.
