Getting and keeping my laminate floors clean - Part One

When we moved in to our house we decided to put in the best quality laminate floors we could afford for the whole of the ground floor.  We chose this for the main reason that we had children and didn't want carpet. All I could think of was toilet training, spillages, food and mud. 


It has taken me a good couple of years to find the perfect routine for keeping my ground floor clean and dust free.


Firstly let me introduce you to the Morphy Richards Supervac, 2-in-1 Cordless Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner, or the Supervac as I call it.
I have been using this in my house for over six months and it is in use each day and every day and it is blooming fantastic.  Initially I thought it was a little expensive at £119.99, however, it is worth its weight in gold.
  • The supervac is a bag-less, cordless hand held vacuum.
  • You can use it as an upright cordless vacuum on all floor types or as a handheld.  It has a small charging station which holds the crevice tools.
  • You can charge with the handle in a folded position.
  • It is lightweight at only 3.9kg
  • The head rotates ensuring it gets in all those hard to reach places.
  • I(t has a 15 minute running time.


If we hadn't been given this to review, I would still be using the main vacuum and a sweeping brush.  But this is so easy to use that even the boys can get it out if they spill some cereal or make crumbs.  it is super easy to empty and as it is in the utility room takes no getting out or putting away.

I think that this is super value and the perfect vacuum for anyone with hard floors.

Bissell Vac and Steam Machine Review and Giveaway

I have hard floors downstairs which I love.  They are much more practical than carpet with 2 mucky boys and a dog. Over the past 8 years I have tried all sorts of ways to keep them clean and I think I have finally found the product that does that for me. It is the  Bissell Vac and Steam Machine .  This amazing suel action machine vacuums and steam cleans either independently or at the same time.  It means that I have done away with my vacuum and steam cleaner downstairs (which I gave to my brother in law). What I like: You can either vacuum or steam clean or do both It is lightweight and easy to manoeuvre The handle is adjustable great for a home with people of different heights and for getting the kids involved. You need no chemicals The pads are washable and reusable It comes with a two year guarantee It warms up fast (within 30 seconds) so no long wait to start cleaning It costs under £100 It is space saving.  No need for a separate vacuum,...

Dumping the tumble dryer and Ecoforce giveaway

We have a tumble dryer, but it broke before christmas and we  couldn't afford to get it repaired, so I have been managing with an old fashioned wooden clothes rail and hanging bedding over the doors to dry, This last would of weeks however, I have been hanging the washing outside and it has been drying much quicker and with less creases, so I am going to take the plunge and instead of getting the dryer replaced I am going to give it away. Ecoforce heard me on twitter bemoaning the fact that I was chasing laundry round the garden as my pegs were not working and very kindly sent me some of their Ecoforce pegs to try and they have been fab. So in conjunction with Ecoforce I have a year's supply of green cleaning and washing up wonder products worth £50 comprising the following: EcoForce Peg Basket x 1 EcoForce Clothes Line x1 EcoForce Pegs x 2 packs Several of each of: EcoForce sponges, scourer...
