Many of us are keen for a clean start this year, and one way to achieve this is to begin with your surroundings. A thorough clean and declutter of your home can do wonders for dusting off the previous year and brings a sense of achievement, not to mention a clearer space often means a clearer mind. Read on for some practical tips plus top picks from our Clean & Tidy collection<\/a> to help you get started.<\/p>\n Do the jobs you’ve been putting off<\/strong><\/p>\n Give those often forgotten about areas a thorough scrub down, like lightbulbs, windows, drains and picture frames. Two products we recommend adding to your cleaning kit for this are Fast Attack Drain Cleaner<\/a>, which can be used on all types of plumbing, and Invisible Glass Spray<\/a>, complete with microfibre cloths you can use to buff the glass for that coveted shiny finish.<\/p>\n Tip – clean windows on a cloudy day to help avoid streaks created by the sun drying the cleaning spray too quick.<\/em><\/p>\n Tackle the toilet<\/strong><\/p>\n\n For many, cleaning the toilet is up there as being one of the least favourite chores around the house. The solution? These <\/span>Forever Flush Toilet Cleaner and Fresheners<\/a> from <\/span>Ecozone<\/a>. Featuring a fully recyclable cage that’s designed to sit discreetly in your toilet cistern for up to five months and 2000 flushes, each one gradually releases a sanitising solution every time you flush to help clean, freshen and protect your toilet. Easy!<\/span><\/p>\n Tip: use a toilet brush to clean the toilet bowl before placing one Ecozone Forever Flush in place, paying close attention to the areas directly under the rim.<\/em><\/p>\n Clean the cupboards<\/strong><\/p>\n Wondering what’s in the blind corner of that kitchen cupboard you barely use? It’s probably about time to reach in, bring everything out and give it all a good clean! Even if we’re not using a certain part of the house much, it’s amazing how dust and grime still seems to magically build up over time. This also gives you a good excuse to edit those cupboards, get rid of anything you no longer use and re-organise the space.<\/p>\n Tip: try these absorbent Reusable Bamboo Towel Rolls<\/a> from Ecoegg<\/a> alone or with a cleaning spray – they’re a fantastic eco-friendly alternative to paper towels.<\/em><\/p>\n Have a good sort out<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Along with the kitchen cupboards, identify other areas of your home that you can restore order to such as a wardrobe, drawers or underneath the bed. Clearing out clutter and rearranging these spaces can quickly bring a sense of calm to a room. It also makes it much easier to find something, especially useful when you’re in a rush!<\/p>\n Tip – use drawer organisers like this set of four<\/a> from Periea<\/a> to keep socks, underwear, accessories and other usually loose items neat, tidy and easy to find.<\/em><\/p>\n Hide it away in style<\/strong><\/p>\n Storage can of course be beautiful as well as practical and we love pieces like these Velvet Touch Trunks<\/a> from BundleBerry by Amanda Holden<\/a> and Round Folding Storage Boxes<\/a> from Periea. This Velvet Storage Ottoman<\/a> from Alison Cork<\/a> is another firm favourite, perfect for adding glamour and elegance to your bedroom, living room or hallway, while offering ample storage for items like throws or bed linen.<\/p>\n Tip – use your ottoman as extra seating and create your own little reading nook by placing it in a corner with a cushion and blanket ready for relaxing on.<\/em><\/p>\n Whether you’re tackling the deep clean, organising the kitchen cupboards or doing a daily freshen up, discover more products to help you breeze through it all in our Clean & Tidy collection<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Many of us are keen for a clean start this year, and one way to achieve this is to begin with your surroundings.
