As part of my role as a Dunelm Mill blogger I’m occasionally asked to review some of their lovely products for the home. They recently contacted me about reviewing one of their latest products, the Click ’n’ Clean cleaning system. The Click ’n’ Clean is a revolutionary new cleaning system where you select your handle which you can mix and match with a cleaning head depending on your cleaning needs. Not only is it the time of year to give your house a Spring clean but, as you know, we’ve recently moved house so our house needs a complete clean.…

Did you know that today people around the world are celebrating Earth Day to demonstrate support for environmental protection? The theme is – What everyday small changes can we make to help make a difference to the environment? To help celebrate I’ve been offered an Earth Day kit which one of my readers has the chance to win. The fun kit includes: A blackboard made from recycled coffee cups A cardboard rocket for the children – and eco-paints so the whole family can get involved too A selection of P&G products Big changes don’t have to start with grand acts;…

I love working with P&G and today I wanted to tell you about a really exciting programme they are running which will help save lives – the P&G and Asda Clean Water Campaign. The brilliant news is we can all get involved simply through our weekly shop and help support their goal of saving one life every hour by 2020 through providing clean, safe water. P&G and Asda Clean Water Campaign I was sent a P&G water purification demo kit so I could see for myself the technology in action. It’s amazing how these little sachets easily turn dirty water…

As part of my role as a Morphy Richards Innovator I was sent the ‘Never Loses Suction Lift Away Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner’ to tell you about. I have to admit that vacuuming is never top of my to do list but with two messy children and two cats our house needs constant cleaning. The vacuum cleaner was easy to assemble out of the box and straightforward to use. It has a number of great features: The Never Loses Suction cyclone technology ensures constant pick-up performance The Lift Away canister gives you the flexibility to clean anywhere, perfect for awkward…

On average we spend 312 hours each year in our cars, yet cleaning our mobile home-from-home is one of the nation’s most-neglected chores, with a third of Brits only cleaning the inside of their car every six months or less! I was surprised to hear that men clean the inside of their car more than women – with almost half (48%) of men cleaning the interior at least once a month or more, compared to 37% of women. I was offered the loan of a team of Febrezers to come and clean our car ahead of spring cleaning season. However,…

Not long now until the big day so I’m beginning to draw up a mental check list for what to do next. The personalised cards have been signed and sent, the presents wrapped and delivered, the decorations taken out of the loft and we’ve all come down with colds and a stomach bug. Bah humbug! I have to admit my Christmas spirit is flagging slightly but I’m hoping we’ll all be feeling better soon as there’s still so much to do. Top of my list (when I feel like it) is the Christmas food shop. It always fills me with…

I’m the first to admit that cleaning and housekeeping take a back seat in my household. I’d much rather spend time with the children than worry about the state of the house. I received an email which made me laugh! “To showcase how effective Viakal really is, we would love for you to put your feet up and let our team of bathroom-cleaning experts visit your home to give your bathroom a squeaky-clean finish! We’ll take care of everything – from scrubbing your bathroom taps to cleaning the dreaded toilet.” Living in London our bathrooms suffer from limescale, which is…

Are you one of the 1 in 10 British women who have admitted to intentionally ruining one of their partner’s items of clothes just because they didn’t like it? It’s not just women, apparently a quarter of British men and women frequently ask their partners to change their outfits because they’re embarrassed to be seen with them! I must be lucky as my husband’s wardrobe doesn’t make me cringe. I love this advert from Ariel about a woman and her golf-mad husband. Can you empathise? Ariel asked me to go under cover and put their theory to the test. I…

Before children I know my washing basket didn’t overflow, it was easy to keep on top of. After children, the machine is on every day and dirty washing permanently seems to cascade out of the washing basket and over the floor. I must have the dirtiest children as it doesn’t seem to matter what they do, their clothes are always grubby and need changing after every meal or activity. This means our poor old washing machine sees a lot of use. Just take a look: Eating – 3 messy meals a day Baking and decorating cupcakes (and tasting too!) Painting…
