The cold and wet winter days often brings with it challenges to keeping a house clean and domestic chores in order. This is particularly the case if you have children and pets running in and out the house daily. Removing shoes at the door does help to reduce the amount of dirt bought into the home.  But, pets shed dust from their fur and children from their clothing. If you have carpeted rooms in your home, then vacuuming is one of the most important chores to maintain its cleanliness as well as to keep them looking good for longer. But, just vacuuming your carpets is not enough although it is a necessity. Carpets, no matter what type, holds everything inside of it from dust, hair, mites, odors, dirt and stains. Using a steam cleaner regularly will further enhance a carpets look and feel by removing stains and deeply ingrained dirt as well as allergens.

The BBC News has reported a high incidence of the Norovirus or vomiting bug, which is sweeping across the country with as many as 200,000 new cases per week (8th February 2012). With those families affected comes the torrid task of cleaning-up the vomit particularly when bedding and carpets are affected. Cleaning-up after someone has been ill and not made it to the bathroom on time presents two challenges; one to remove the debris and the other to remove the odour.

Our bathrooms are subjected to a daily combination of heat and moisture, which can lead to the habitation of moulds and bacteria. But how dangerous are they in our bathrooms and how can we ensure a truly clean and sanitised room?
