Speedy Spring Cleaning with Robert Dyas

There’s nothing quite like the feeling of spring.  New life emerging and a warmth in the air after a long, cold winter.  Spring cleans are a fabulous way to inject a new lease of life into your home and prepare it for the season ahead.  Historically originating when homes were heated solely by fireplaces, spring cleaning signalled the coming of warmer temperatures and this was the season to air the house and rid it of soot, dust and dirt which had accumulated over the winter months.

Nowadays it’s not quite as necessary, but it’s a ritual that we anticipate to refresh and reboot our homes after a season of central heating and staying cosy indoors.  But how many of us are easily able to spend hours and hours toiling over essential housework duties, especially when tackling a large, deep clean?  Whilst a necessary job, it’s one that most of us simply don’t have the time to undertake.  That is, unless you have the right equipment and methods.

As a nation of proud home owners, our home is our castle.  A cleaning survey reports that 47% of us spend up to five hours a week cleaning our abodes*, signalling just how important cleaning and tidying is for us.

To help breathe a new lease of life into your home, high street retailer Robert Dyas have put together some handy hints and tips to help you battle the grime and cut the clutter.  So, when you don’t have hours to spend on a thorough tidy up, don’t let the dust defeat you.  After all, cleanliness is next to Godliness.
