The Ten Minute Speed Clean


Ideal for the unexpected visit from the mother-in–law or visitors that send a quick text to tell you they’ll be over in a mo.


Keeping a box handy is a great way to quickly remove junk from sight in the living room. This can be hidden behind the sofa or put in a cupboard when you receive last minute visitors.


Have a cloth handy to remove any dust from surfaces or tea stains from the coffee table, and freshen the air with a blast of air freshener.

Adding New Strengths To Scrubbing


Vileda is injecting a double dose of power into your cleaning with the launch of the fantastic new Power scourer range, making tough cleaning a thing of the past.

Vileda is coming out full force with the new ‘Extra Power’ scourer, for super tough dirt, and the ‘Non-Scratch Power’ scourer, designed to look after more delicate surfaces.

Carefully crafted with new cleaning innovation, the Power scourer range gives a more efficient cleaning performance, without the hard work.

The new 3D structure with scrubbing nodules provides a better cleaning performance whilst the smart abrasive sealed surface prevents dirt from getting trapped, allowing you to rinse the surface with ease.

With all this power, you’ll need to use less pressure to scrub off dirty marks and the easy-to-rinse surface means they’ll stay fresher for longer too. You’ll be able to clean at 100 miles an hour!


Vileda's Power scourers are currently available in Morrisons, SSP £1.19 for a 2 pack.

Refresh Your Fridge



Most fridges are easy to clean but the trick is to be clever about keeping on top of the task.


Aim to clean your fridge once a month, just before a big shop is best as it will be relatively empty. Pull out all the shelves and drawers to wash in the sink.


Clean the interior sides of the fridge using one sponge soaked in bicarb and another soaked in white vinegar. Press the vinegar sponge together with the bicarb sponge when cleaning to combine the substances. Use the same technique on the rubber seal around the door.


To complete the task, wipe down the fridge exterior and replace the shelves. Then fill it with lots of lovely food.
