I wish I'd bought one years ago...

What products/habits have revolutionised your housekeeping?

I've just bought an E-cloth mop system, and I love it: quick, easy and no clatting about with a mop bucket!

So, do you have any other products/routines that you wish to share?

I love my cordless hoover. 40 mins charge and I can do the whole house on the charge and then some. I dont have to stop un-plug several times which makes it quicker and its a hell of a lot lighter as well when carrying around.

I'm probably the last to the party but colour catcher sheets for the washing machine! I can now hurl everything in together, no more separating colours and whites, and half the number of loads!

DH.

Robot vacuum cleaner. Spray mop. Awesome

Silicone pan scrapers. Thin plastic white squares which can probably lift tarmac off the road.

Ooh, what's a silicone pan scraper, Talith ? Do I need one.

I also echo cordless hoover. SO much easier on my back.

An over door hanger thing with baskets on for storage - totally transformed my postage stamp sized kitchen

Cordless vacuum, should've jumped on the bandwagon years ago and microfibre cloths, why have I never bought them until recently!

I too need to know what a silicone pan scraper is because I'm sure I MUST need one!

DearTeddy I never even knew these existed!! I just placed an order on Amazon. You might have changed my life.

skipping yes colour catcher sheets are life changing. Everything slung in together, no faffing doing a tiny half load of whites and then cursing about the waste of fuel and water. When we moved last year we had our first ever water meter, I was determined to do everything in my power to keep the bill down and now pay far less when we just paid the yearly charge.

Spray mop. Somehow makes cleaning the hard floors less of a chore.

A dishwasher! Would never be without now.

MrSpottedZebra these are the little fellas I'm on about, great for getting shite off the oven door especially...:

Silicone Pan Scrapers

Soz TheSpottedZebra not Mr!

Magic sponges. Use them on everything.

@DearTeddy: Thank you! I had no idea these existed and have just ordered some. Who knew! (probably everyone but me)

Cordless vac, spray mop, magic eraser sponges, steam cleaner. I don't get the latter out very often but when I do it just powers through all the grot-spots.

I thought I was the last one to find out about them! We also had to get a new washing machine recently as our old one died, the new one has a 9kg capacity and I hate the thought of not using every bit of it!

fromtheshires which cordless have you got? I'm desperate for one but it needs to be very light and run for a decent amount of time.

The Vileda 123 spray mop.
A wooden handled brush for dishes.

@ApplestheHare I have a G-Tech AirRAM K9. Its a tad more than the non animal version but it has more suction power.

Im deffo going to get a silicone scraper

Without a doubt my ILife robotic hoover. Saves me hours every week. I just love it

Thank you fromtheshires Does that mean it's good for pet hair?? I forgot to include my third must have!

Cordless nd robot hoover. Revolutionised the cleanliness of my house!
