When cleaning TV screens and monitors always check the cleaning guidelines first as different types of screens require different cleaning solutions. For a gentle clean to remove dust and electrostatic build up use our Micro Fibre Cloths.

Regular vacuuming will help to reduce the amount of allergens, bacteria, pet dander and dust mites in your home. The XL7 and the Deluxe Compact Canister are HEPA rated which means they are specially designed to remove all of the above and trap it inside the bag making them ideal for pet owners and allergy sufferers. The added advantage of having a bag system compared to bagless is that all the dirt, dander dust mites and allergens remain trapped in the bag to be cleanly disposed of, unlike a bagless system whereby dirt can escape back into the room, re-contaminating your home and undoing all your hard work!

Using an air purifier is another effective way to remove dust, allergens and bacteria from your home. The Oreck^®air purifier filters the air in a room using a five-stage filtration process before redistributing clean, fresh air.

Vacuuming with a machine with a high filtration level (99.99% or more) and/or using an air purifier in a room will also help to reduce the amount of dusting required, resulting in less house work.

Other products that help to keep your home free from allergens are the Dry Carpet Cleaning System. Dry cleaning your carpets with this product helps to lift out deep-down allergens and dust mites from the carpet fibres which can then be vacuumed up.

Odours from sinks and drains can be removed by using either the Hospital Clean Disinfectant and Deodoriser that kills bacteria and leaves a fresh lavender smell or the Enzyme Odour Eater, that virtually eliminates odours by eating the bacteria that causes them.

Stale carpet odour can be eradicated by using Natural Crystal Carpet and Room Refresher. Simply sprinkle on the carpet leave and then vacuum. When cleaning your carpets, Carpet Cleaning System or Revelry Carpet Stain Remover are both very effective products at removing the sources of odour.

For freshening a room Alanite Crystals are an effective long-term method. Place the crystals around the house. The crystals will then absorb odours and trap them. When placed in the sun the crystals will release the odours and recharge themselves so they may be used again and again. For a quick fix method, simply spray Welcome Home Air Fresheners, available in four pleasant fragrances, Mulberry, Jasmine, Vanilla or Lemon.

Tidy away those canister tools and attachments with the Vinyl Tool Caddy. Hang on the inside of a cupboard door out of the way.
