For those who live alone or have just moved out of the comfort of their parents' home, it's a challenge to remember how often you need to clean certain things in the house or get into a routine when work and other responsibilities are in the way.

Don't hesitate to book a cleaner, housekeeper or professional to do some of the work for you at home, if necessary. After all, not all of us have the knowledge to clean an old but still lovely carpet or time to do the cleaning whilst at work. And it’s lovely to come back home to a fresh, clean house.

Maybe this blog will encourage you to get out tonight and clean your long-forgotten fridge. And honestly, who among us doesn't love a clean and tidy kitchen?
