There is TikTok and YouTube tutorial after blog post and Mrs Hinch tip telling you how to clean everything.
But, and it pains me to say this, but not everything you can do yourself with a mixture made up of lemon juice and vinegar.
Some things take more than a little elbow grease, and there is nothing wrong with getting a professional to do the job.
Some things take expensive tools and a little know-how. And you don’t have to live with the dirt taking over your world if you don’t want it to.
Won’t that freshly be scrubbed back of the fridge be wasted in a house with a faded carpet?
Take a look at our list of the things that can be cleaned and what you can do about it.
Power Washing
Power washing can apply to just about every exterior you can think of. If you are one of those people who was queuing outside of Homebase to finally renovate your garden, you’ll want the finishing touch to be to get everything power washed.
You can get rid of that rain stain in your driveway for example. When your car isn’t in the drive you get a hell of a reminder of what colour it used to be, and power washing can restore that.
Or maybe you’ve been looking at the brown fence that was once beige and how that doesn’t go with your new garden decking. Don’t paint over it, get it power washed.
You can even power wash the exterior of your house. If you are certain that it was white when you moved in but you’re now looking at a grey house, hire someone to power wash it.
Carpet Cleaning
Carpets are a great addition to any home. They bring in a great dose of warmth to the home, sending heating bills down, plus they absorb some noise, so your kid practicing the drums isn’t too excruciating.
But when you bought that carpet, you could have sworn it had a pattern, or was cream.
There is obviously a lot of traffic that comes with flooring in general, but a carpet’s main drawback is that it soaks up stains like a sponge and takes more than a sweeping to restore.
Even if you are so careful with your red wine, coffee and muddy boots, the colour of your carpet is going to dull over time.
To get it back to its original brilliance, you can contact someone who offers professional carpet cleaning services for a quote and enjoy the look of a brand-new carpet.
Car Valet
That new car smell is so coveted there are candles with it. It’s a great feeling to get into your clean car and feel like you’re starring in a Bond film, featuring a Ford Focus.
And we’re not just talking about getting the muck off your wheels either, but the inside being clean is an especially rare occurrence.
Sure, you can head to the garage to use their hoover, but all you’ll get out of that is a bad back and a waste of five pound coins into the machine as you beg the thing to suck.
Getting your car professionally valeted will mean that it is sparkling on the outside and smelling sweet on the inside. You can step into a freshly hoovered and polished interior with that new car smell restored and drive off into the sunset.
