simple solutions to spring cleaning

Spring cleaning; you either love or you hate it. Yes, it’s a dirty job and can take several days to work your way through every room in the house, but after a cold winter of comfort eating and watching too much television, it is good to feel useful again.

So how can you keep that smug ‘Just Spring Cleaned’ feeling all year round? Check out the new range of super stylish tools from simplehuman:

Cleaning couture 

• microfibre mitt kit – no need for harsh chemicals, just dampen one side with water to clean and use the dry side to polish. Pack of four clearly labelled mitts to clean a variety of home surfaces: glass & mirror, TV & computer, general kitchen, and stainless steel. £19.56  http://www.simplehuman.co.uk/products/accessories/microfibre-mitt-kit.php
• steel frame dishrack – fingerprint-proof stainless steel walls hide dishes neatly out-of-sight while drying. Innovative cup holders flip out to hold mugs and glasses and an extendable drip tray catches drips and channels excess water directly into the sink. £48.92 http://www.simplehuman.co.uk/products/dishracks/steel-frame.php 

Reorganise the recycling

• front load stackable recycler – multiple bins can be stacked vertically or stored in cupboards to create a home recycling centre. A colour-coded dial indicates plastic, aluminium, glass, and paper to help you identify contents at a glance. £29.24  http://simplehuman.typepad.com/product_images_uk/2008/10/front-load-recycler.html

Sort your storage

• steel bar rectangular pedal bin – inspired by the clean lines of professional kitchens, this fingerprint-proof stainless steel bin has a reinforced steel bar that encircles the front base to create a wide pedal area. An integrated charcoal filter neutralises unpleasant odours without the need for harmful chemicals, and simplehuman’s lid shox™ air suspension shocks control the motion of the lid for a slow, quiet, close. £132.12 http://www.simplehuman.co.uk/products/bins/large-bins/steel-bar-rectangular-pedal-bin.php
• slim canisters – these ultra-modern, fingerprint-proof stainless steel slim canisters have an airtight seal to keep contents fresh and a push button lid for easy opening. The dishwasher-safe, removable plastic liner stores food hygienically and is easy to clean. £19.56 - £29.35 http://www.simplehuman.co.uk/products/kitchen-organisation/slim-canister.php

Keep it clean

• sensor soap pump – infrared sensor technology dispenses soap touch-free, to help prevent the spread of harmful germs. An optional built-in timer light flashes for 20 seconds after soap is dispensed to encourage the user to lather for longer, as recommended by the World Health Organisation. Also includes a continuous dispensing button and multiple flow settings for thicker soap, washing up liquid, or lotion. £29.35 http://www.simplehuman.co.uk/products/soap-pumps/sensor-soap-pump.php
