How to choose cleaning and laundry products
Laundry baskets and drying racks
Laundry baskets and drying racks make up a big part of this range. For baskets, think about how many loads you carry at once, and if a divided hamper to sort lights and darks would help. For drying racks, foldable and wall mounted styles suit small laundries and balconies, while larger freestanding airers hold a full load.
Bins and bin enclosures
Pedal bins and automatic sensor bins keep hands free while you cook. Check the capacity against your household and the size of bin liners you buy. Outdoor wheelie bin enclosures, often lockable steel, hide bins from the street and keep animals out. Measure your bins, including the lid open height, before choosing an enclosure.
Pest control
Household insect repellents are well represented here, along with traps for larger pests. Check whether bait is included and whether the product is meant for indoor or outdoor use.
Cleaning tools
Look at power type first. There are cordless, mains and solar options, plus manual tools, and the cordless ones are easier to move around the house. Smaller gadgets, such as ultrasonic cleaners for jewellery and glasses, sit alongside brooms and brushes.
Price guide
Prices start from about $11, with most around $40. Steel bin enclosures and larger racks cost more. Buyers often mention easy assembly. For floors, see stick vacuums and robot vacuums.
