UnderCurrent is not a fan of spills. They can be so destabilising…mostly because they make the floor slippery and you can never be sure where you stand.
But if a spill does occur, it’s important to remember that life goes on. You should still be able to enjoy clean floorboards or carpet, and rest assured that if somebody does need to cross the floor, they’ll be unencumbered.
So if, like many Australians, you’ve found yourself in the middle of a spill, do what any wise person would do and take leadership!
Herewith, UnderCurrent’s Top 5 Appliances for Managing a Spill.
Great when you’ve found yourself in a tight corner, the Dyson DC44 Animal (RRP $549) also has a long-reach wand for cleaning hard-to-reach places — ideal for both the upper and lower house.
Spills might often seem very dry, but there are occasions when a bit of steam cleaning is required to get the job done. Enter the Ariete SC4160 Steam Mop (RRP $149) — if you’ve got hardwood or tile floors, it’s great for wiping the slate clean.
If you want to do a top job, Miele’s Premium S8 UniQ is for you (S8590, RRP $1,199). It features a deluxe handle with spotlight and a velvet bumper strip that won’t damage the walls of your Lodge.
Whether you’re from the left or right…of the lounge room, it’s important to have a good all rounder to keep carpets tidy. With 22 mini cyclones packed into the head of the Morphy Richards Vorticity Bagless Cylinder Vacuum (71082, RRP $599), you’ll always have the numbers on your side.
Some spills can come up on you when you least expect it, so it’s best to maintain constant vigilance. Samsung’s NaviBot CornerClean (SR10F71, RRP $1,099) will do the cleaning for you when your back is turned, so you never have to worry that you’ll be caught out.
