Cleaning a house from top to bottom can be a daunting task, so it’s important to be prepared with the right tools for getting the most out of your spring clean. Before you begin, take a look at some of our top tips below and make light work of freshening up your home this season.

Getting started

To make sure you are fully prepared, why not start by creating a spring cleaning checklist? Making a list of your top tasks is a great way to ensure no jobs get forgotten about, meaning your house will be left looking its best once you’re finished.

Go cordless

For a speedy spring clean without compromising on performance, consider going cordless with the Vax ONEPWR Blade 4 cordless vacuum cleaner. Powered by the revolutionary ONEPWR battery, the Vax Blade 4 outperforms the UK’s top 3 best-selling cordless vacuums* and gives the cleaning performance of the best corded uprights** in the freedom of a cordless vacuum.

With a runtime of up to 45 minutes, you have plenty of time to clean without recharging with the Vax Blade 4 – and if that’s not enough, you can simply swap out the battery for another and then you’re ready to go again.

Clean up high and down low

Dust settles on more than just floors, so don’t forget to target those awkward spaces which might not be part of your everyday cleaning routine. The versatility of the Vax Blade 4 cordless vacuum means it effortlessly transforms into a handheld cleaner, making it easy to remove dust and dirt from sofas, stairs, car interiors and more.

When you order the Blade 4 direct from Vax, you will also receive a free toolkit worth over £50 which includes a flexible crevice tool, tough dirt tool, textile tool and stretch hose – allowing you to make light work of cleaning those harder to reach spaces around the home.

Deep clean carpets
