Spring-cleaning tips to sort your life out
From smart tech to expert hacks, here’s your fast track to a sparkling, organised home
The daily domestic tasks of cleaning, tidying and putting things away often feel endless. But, put the right gadgets and decluttering tools to work and you’ll soon be kicking back at home in the spotless, spring-cleaned space of your dreams.
You don’t have to blow the budget to achieve an organised interior; get started (and get things sorted) with stylish storage baskets and organisers that make use of under-shelf space.
There are some hi-tech home appliances that you’ll never regret investing in though, especially when the time comes for a spring-clean. Get a helping hand from the magic self-cleaning oven that absorbs grease, the elegant kettle that doesn’t need descaling, and the tumble dryer that uses a heat pump to save you time and money (and removes bacteria); these are the smarter way to do chores year-round.
If the idea of the big, annual spring-clean sounds daunting, start small; focus on one single space or on decluttering an overspilling cupboard. Micro jobs really do lead to macro results.
