For the love of cleaning!

The words ‘I love cleaning’ have never come out of my mouth. I am a mother who enjoys the comfort of having a clean home and being able to smell the ‘cleanliness’ but I hate the effort that is actually required to achieve such effects. It’s never spotless but it’s clean. As every parent knows, when you have children your clean house is only ever clean for about a 5 minute duration before they have lunch or race inside after playing in the dirt.

I hated having to drag out the vacuum cleaner for a small mess. Yes I know – first world problems. It seemed like such a hassle to have to unroll the cord, plug it in and then re-roll it for a few measly crumbs. So me being me I set out to find a vacuum that was easy to use, didn’t require to be plugged in every time I had a small mess to clean but one that was still efficient enough that it worked. I found it! The Dyson DC44 – it is supposed to be for animals (kids are animals right?) but it is also a multi-floor vacuum so I don’t need to adjust anything when moving from surface to surface. I already have a Dyson DC24 HEPA and it is still going strong after 4 or 5 years. As you can imagine after having a vacuum cleaner that lasts this long and still runs like new I have no problems in recommending Dyson to anyone and everyone who will listen.

DC44 – I love the gorgeous pink colour! They also come in blue.
DC24 – Looks pretty good for how old it is!

I have been giving the new DC44 an absolute flogging. It gets used for most messes, the cars, my bathroom floor (remind me never again to NEVER choose black tiles for my bathrooms, the dust shows back up after 2 days!), inside the window frames and of course the lounges. I don’t know how I went without this convenience for so long, the only thing better would be if it didn’t require my assistance at all to clean. It comes with a docking station that charges the battery along with extra attachments for the different jobs you could want to do. The sucking power is extraordinary for something so light weight and versatile. I love that it doesn’t require bags or extra filters, it has a motorised head and comes with a 2 year parts and labour warranty but as I mentioned earlier my DC24 is still going strong after years!

It’s official – I love my Dyson cleaners and I have my husband to thank for that. He so kindly purchased our first one for us. I remember saying to him I am not spending that much on a vacuum cleaner but now I am so glad we did. It has truly proven its value.
   
Thanks honey for being my model!
