Autumn cleaning hacks
We are all aware of the spring clean, but health experts have suggested we should have a big clean at least twice a year with an autumn clean being the other. Autumn is a good time to give your home a good clean with the falling temperatures outside and the heating being turned on, alongside closed windows. This combination makes perfect conditions to harbour dirt, germs, and harmful allergens. At VAX, we’re here to help you tackle that autumnal mess with a few cleaning tips for your home.
You could start by washing your windows, it’s been suggested that rainwater is good for cleaning windows because it contains less contaminates than tap water. To avoid them looking dirty and streaky after a downpour, give them a thorough clean this autumn.
Another idea for autumn is to declutter your cupboards and shelves, we are all guilty of storing items for way longer than needed, and over time they just gather dust and look messy. This is a perfect time to de-clutter your home, whether you throw it out or donate it to a charity, having a clear out always makes your home feel much better.
During the autumn clean, don’t forget to clean behind, under and on top of furniture. Whilst using a vacuum to clean up any dirt, cobwebs, or debris, you need to make sure you get to all those hard-to-reach areas too. With a VAX cordless vacuum cleaner, you can switch up across the various attachments to ensure it adapts to your cleaning needs, removing all dust, dirt, debris, and allergens, providing you with a healthier and cleaner home.
You’ll also want to make sure you regularly clean your sofa or armchair, the perfect tool for this is a spot washer. At VAX we have a whole range of Spot Washers to suit your cleaning needs, with prices starting from just £99.99, you can effectively tackle spills and stains, leaving carpets or upholstered furniture refreshed and clean.
Being in the UK, we don’t tend to have the best weather even at the best of times. Despite the beautiful autumnal colours, it’s typically wet and muddy. This can be frustrating for homeowners when muddy footprints and paw prints are walked into their homes. To help tackle this mess on hard floors, we recommend the VAX ONEPWR Glide. It vacuums, washes, and dries your hard floors at the same time and kills 99.9% of bacteria*.
If you also have mess on your carpets, it’s best to wait until the mud dries before tackling it. Once it has, you can use a carpet washer for large areas or a spot washer for smaller area cleaning. Take a look at our carpet washing range to find the best fit for your home. To tackle the whole home, we recommend the VAX SmartWash, VAX’s best ever carpet washer which kills over 99% of bacteria** and with next generation motion sense technology, it’s effortlessly simple to use.
Finally, our last tip is to try to keep dirt outside as much as possible by using internal and external mats at entrances to your home. By introducing these, you can try to limit the amount of dirt carried into your home, making the cleaning just that bit easier.
