House work. It's tedious. It's boring. And unless you are one of the few people who actually find it therapeutic (really?), we would really rather not have to do it at all. Like AT ALL. These essential cleaning gadgets do the hard graft for you. You're welcome. Neato XV Signature Pro This nifty hoover (robot) gadget does the job for you, literally. Advanced technology and powerful suction means it automatically cleans close to edges, in corners, and carefully around furniture. It goes from room-to-room and you don't need to lift a finger. All yours, if you don't mind paying €338.00. The Vax Steam mop This beaut of a mop from Aldi is perfect for cleaning up those hard-toget-off stains that always end up on the floor after any kind of a family meal. It's super-lightweight and equally as effective on hard floors or carpets. Pick it up for a snip at €49.99. The DC58 Animal With the little people come the little crumbs. The handheld vacuum cleaner is powered by the Dyson digital motor V6. And we all know the Dyson brand comes with a good rep. It's seriously lightweight and ergonomic, too. €250.00 at Dyson.com.
