We have spent a lot of time at home in the last year. Many of us have embarked on home improvement projects. Creating new home experiences to enjoy during the months of lockdown.
However, all this time at home has created one big problem. A never-ending stream of cleaning chores.
From packing and unpacking the dishwasher on a near constant basis to hoovering daily, cleaning has a been a bugbear of many in lockdown.
To help you on the transition out of restrictions and to reclaim your life from constant cleaning, here are the cleaning gadgets you need to get your house ship shape.
Roomba
Computerised vacuums such as the Roomba have become increasingly popular in recent years.
These automatic hoovers map out your room and then set about hoovering up all the dust by themselves. They are great if you are busy and out of the house all day, as you can program them to hoover for when you get home.
If you have pets, a Roomba might not be the best idea. They can make dogs and cats very stressed.
Air compressor
An air compressor is great for use in the process of home improvement. Air compressors are essential for cleaning up messes from home improvements, using pressurised air to blow away the mess.
Essentially, air compressors forcefully push air through a small whole, helping you blow away any debris and mess from working on home improvements.
You can also get interchangeable nozzles for air compressors, allowing you to have the right air pressure for each application.
Pressure washer
To clean stubborn moss and mildew from patios, decks and driveways, an pressure washer is an ideal investment.
High-pressure water blasts away any dirt and debris. They are also very handy for cleaning your car and windows.
In fact, pressure washers use similar technology to the air compressor, but use water instead of air to achieve the desired clean affect.
Vacuum cleaner
No home should not have a trusty vacuum cleaner. The original cleaning gadget is found in homes all over the country.
Using suction technology, a vacuum cleaner will suck up all the dust and debris laying around your house.
Again, for pet owners, you might want to invest in a vacuum cleaner that has pet-hair technology. Helping you pick up all the shed hair from your furry friends.
Broom and mop
Technically not gadgets, but useful nonetheless, the humble broom and mop are essential cleaning tools for your home.
Sweeping up mess and debris and then cleaning your floors is vital for keeping your home in order. There are different brooms to consider depending on the area you are sweeping up.
Hard bristle brooms are great for outdoor areas. While a softer broom works better on tiled and wood flooring inside your home.
