I like most people am always on the look out for the next miracle cleaner, I have cupboards full of them all promising me that they will clean up my monsters mess! My main area that drives me mad in my living room carpet, when we moved into our house we had to take up all the carpets in the house because the previous owner had cats and I am allergic to them. I spent the first couple of days in my new home with eyes as red as Rudolph's nose and sneezing ever second! So due to lack of funds I just bought a cheap carpet for the living room with a view to replacing it later when we could afford it. Suffice to say 3 years later we still have the same cheap ...  Read the complete review

I like a clean house now I don't just mean housework done once a week I mean proper OCD clean! One of my pet hates are dirty carpets and fortunately when I moved into my house as it was bought off plan I got to choose what colour carpets I wanted and I sensibly chose a light mocha throughout (except a few rooms, kitchen, hallway and utility) as having had cream/beige carpets before is just a complete no no especially with dogs, cats and of course a child! However, my carpet has been looking a bit drab since the wet weather and I wanted to freshen it up in between having it cleaned. There are quite a few products out there which claim to help freshen up a ...  Read the complete review

The carpets in our hallway and on the stairs have been looking a little bit shabby in recent weeks. Despite having a mat outside the front door and requesting that people remove their shoes, particularly when it's been raining, the carpet was covered in dirt patches. It doesn't help that it is quite a light-green colour so shows up any dirt and grime quite clearly. I normally get the Vax machine out to give the carpets a good clean but this is a big job and not one that I would want to do to regularly! I spotted a new Vanish powerfoam carpet cleaner whilst shopping a few weeks ago, which seemed to be an ideal solution to the problem. This was priced at £4.09 in ...  Read the complete review

After moving into a new house with my two flatmates, the logical thing for us to do was to host a flat warming party. Really, it was just an excuse for a party the week before fresher's week at University started. The carpets in the house are a medium blue colour so we thought that spillage of drinks wouldn't be too much of a bother. Oh how wrong we were... On inspection the next morning there were several marks on the carpet as well as on the rug under the coffee table. Not a good sign as we had only moved in 2 days before and the carpets were pristine! I ran down to the nearest shop, a Tesco express, to look for some form of carpet cleaning product. The ...  Read the complete review

At twelve thirty this morning I was awoken by my cat, Mew, who was being sick on the bedroom carpet - nice eh? He had caught and eaten something quite late last night so I should have had more sense than to let him sleep in the bedroom but there you go - I spoil him and so I have to accept the occasional consequences. Anyway I cleared up the mess, washed my hands and went back to bed. This morning there is a slight stain on the carpet so out came the Vanish Power Foam. I bought this product from Tesco's at a cost of £4.10 for 600ml of foam and it has been worth every penny! The Vanish Power Foam comes in an aerosol can with a bright pink ...  Read the complete review
