There are lots of different types of power scrubbers - from compact handheld varieties, to cordless spin scrubbers and floor scrubbing machines. Power scrubbers may be battery powered or plugged into a powerpoint – and because these tools have fast rotating or oscillating brush heads, they’re great for making short work of tough dirt, stains and grime.
Use a power scrubber for cleaning tubs, tiles, grout and shower doors in the bathroom, or removing baked-on grease and grime on stovetops in the kitchen. They’re also useful for floor and wall cleaning, especially on tiles, hardwoods and baseboards – and outdoors, you can bring your patio furniture and decks back to looking new in no time.
Every cleaner can get behind a product that requires nothing more than a quick application – it then goes to work without any elbow grease required from you.
Set-and-forget shower and tile cleaning products like Glitz 750ml Daily Shower Cleaner can be a huge time-saver for busy home-owners - you simply spray a fine mist over the shower and it helps keep the area free of soap scum, mould and germs. Plus, it smells nice too.
Similar products include the 30 Seconds 2L Window Wonder Outdoor Window Cleaner, which you simply spray onto windows until you get suds covering the glass, leave for 30 seconds then rinse off. Great for high windows you can’t get to!
If you don’t love using harsh chemicals to clean your home, steam cleaners are a worthwhile option. They use hot steam only to break down grease and grime, and these appliances also sanitise surfaces, killing 99 per cent of bacteria, mould, germs and dust mites.
Some handheld steam cleaners are lightweight and good for cleaning small areas in the home - while others, like the Black and Decker 9-in-1 steam mop, are perfect for hardwood and laminate floors. You can also get carpet steam cleaners, like the Hoover Power Scrub XL Carpet Washer, which removes deep-set stains in carpet and upholstery, but with fast drying times.
Saving time (and money!) when cleaning is a big win for many of us – and that’s where multi-purpose cleaning products come in. Typically, these are products that can clean a variety of items and surfaces, like The Pink Stuff. This abrasive paste can clean saucepans, BBQs, ceramic tiles, glass, rust, sinks, garden furniture, paintwork and much more.
Another great multi-purpose product you’ll want in your cleaning kit is the Scrub Daddy Eraser Daddy. It’s a heavy-duty, tri-composite eraser that can shift crayon off walls, scuff marks off skirting boards and even soap scum, dirt and stains.
There are so many great products and innovations on the market now making your cleaning routine a breeze. Try some of these cleaning products for yourself and hopefully you can spend less time cleaning, but still have a sparkling house at the end of it.
Asbestos, lead-based paints and copper chromium arsenic (CCA) treated timber are health hazards you need to look out for when renovating older homes. These substances can easily be disturbed when renovating and exposure to them can cause a range of life-threatening diseases and conditions including cancer. For information on the dangers of asbestos, lead-based paint and CCA treated timber and tips for dealing with these materials contact your local council's Environmental Health Officer or visit our Health & Safety page.
