Once the weather starts to warm up and rain is a distant memory, it’s time to start your spring clean. Fling windows and doors open, empty cupboards and wardrobes, tackle all those stubborn stains and dreaded chores that you’ve been putting off for months and start spring with a fresh and thoroughly clean home. We’ve got a round-up of the latest products to make spring cleaning a breeze, with ideas for clearing the clutter and making your kitchen more organised, too…

VILEDA MAKES IT EASY TO MOP WITH CLEAN WATER

Vileda’s RinseClean Spin Mop & Bucket System is a revolutionary new home cleaning solution, which means you never need to mop floors with dirty water again. It features a two-tank bucket, which keeps clean and dirty water separate with a continuous flow of clean water for every rinse of the mop. The pedal-activated spring wringer is easy to use while the deep-cleaning microfibre mop head removes 99% of bacteria with just water for a chemical-free clean. We love that the mop head can be removed and machine washed, too.

REMOVE PET HAIR IN AN INSTANT, TOO

Pet owners will appreciate Vileda’s Pet Pro Flip Mop too, which removes three times’ more pet hair than an ordinary broom thanks to its looped blue microfibres. It has a handy two-in-one mop pad, which can be flipped depending on your cleaning task, whether removing dog or cat hair from the floor or cleaning up little accidents. It’s also great for quickly absorbing splashes and spills from pet bowls and can be used dry as a buffing and shining pad.

AND CARPETS CAN BE PET HAIR-FREE

Vileda also has a Pet Pro Always Clean Broom that sweeps pet hair from hard flooring as well as carpet and rugs. Its rubber bristles attract and collect dirt and pet hair, with angled bristles that make it easy to reach and clean corners and it’s easy to clean as you simply rinse under the tap after use.

BE PREPARED WITH MARIGOLD GLOVES

The UK’s best-selling household gloves, Marigold Extra-Life Kitchen Gloves, are triple-layered for durability and are really handy when you’re washing up sharp knives that could otherwise pierce thinner gloves. They protect hands from the drying effects of cleaning detergents and warm water and have an anti-slip pattern for good grip. The rolled ends on cuffs and fitted wrists also help them stay up and both the gloves and their plastic packaging can be recycled through TerraCycle® for free.

SHINE UP SURFACES WITH MARIGOLD’S CLOTHS

Now you’ve got your cleaning gloves, stock up on cloths so you can tackle your spring clean, room by room. Marigold’s Squeaky Clean Flexi Microfibre Cloth is perfect for everything from glass to granite, shower screens to stainless steel sinks and appliances. It will leave surfaces shiny and streak-free, cleaning and drying in one wipe so it saves time, too. Use with just water and rinse clean after use. It’s also machine washable.

And to also remove dirt, grease and dust in an instant, Marigold also has Let it Shine! Microfibre Cloths, which are made from 100% recycled PET (plastic) bottles so they are a super-sustainable choice. No need for chemical cleaning products either, as the deep cleaning performance of microfibre just needs water to activate.

MIELE LAUNCHES NEW BAGGED CYLINDER VACUUM RANGE

If you’re thinking of investing in a new vacuum, how about one of the new Guard designs from Miele? From the Guard S1 compact and lightweight entry-level model to the Guard M1 powerful, high capacity and versatile mid-range design to the Guard L1 Comfort XL top spec model with WiFi integration, automatic floor detection and a premium fabric edge, there’s something for every budget.

WiFi Connectivity is a first to market for Miele and once the vacuum has been registered in the Miele app, the app will show the fill level of the vacuum bag and the condition of the exhaust filter. It will notify you when either needs replacing, helping to enhance both performance and longevity of the appliance.

BISSELL LAUNCHES WET-DRY CROSSWAVE® VACUUM

Speaking of vacuums, Bissell has unveiled its new Crosswave® OmniForceÔ Edge, a wet-dry cleaner that seamlessly transitions between vacuuming and mopping for a powerful all-in-one clean. Perfect for open-plan kitchens with hard floors and rugs, it works on wood, laminate and tiles with a 30-minute cordless runtime, turbo mode, ZeroGapÔ technology for edge-to-edge cleaning for skirting and corners as well as automatic self-cleaning.

OXO’S NEW FOOD STORAGE REVAMPS THE KITCHEN

While you’re spring cleaning, it’s the perfect time to clean out your fridge and kitchen cupboards, too. OXO’s new Silicone Reusable Bags help to reduce food waste thanks to built-in ventilation for optimal airflow. Use to keep fruit, veg, salad and pretty much anything fresh for longer. In 2.3L, 2.8L and 4.5L sizes, they are fridge, freezer, microwave and dishwasher-safe and you can even use them to steam veg in the microwave.

We also love OXO’s Twist & Stack Containers with a twist-lock lid and silicone gasket for a leakproof seal. Theinterchangeable lids fit all sizes (350ml, 550ml, 900ml), while the soft-touch grip ensures easy opening. Stain-resistant and safe for the dishwasher, microwave and freezer, these are perfect for storing everything from snacks to soups.

And last but by no means least, check out the limited-edition OXO Pistachio POP set, perfect for decanting your baking ingredients, cereal and pasta. With an airtight push-button lid and transparent base for easy viewing of your contents, the new POP containers are such a versatile addition to any kitchen. The three-piece set includes three 1L containers and two 30ml scoops for quick and precise measuring of dry ingredients. All are available from John Lewis and Amazon.
