Four tricks to make your pad look great without paying the professionals
We would all like to hire a cleaning lady who will come for a few hours and leave our house looking spotless.
But outside help is an expense most of us cannot afford.
So follow these tricks to make your pad look great without paying the professionals. . .
TIDY: It's much easier to keep your house in order when the amount of tidying up is significantly smaller.
Invest time in clearing out toys, clothes and other items you no longer need.
You'll quickly notice less clutter, which will instantly make your space look more presentable.

Decluttering should also help free up storage space.
And it's easier to keep the house tidy when everything has a clear place where it belongs.
Take it to the next level and create labels so that all family members know where items should be stored.
GET A ROBOT: If you have children or pets and need to vacuum crumbs and hair close enough every day, investing in a robot can ease the burden.
These automatic cleaning gadgets typically require a significant upfront investment, but the time savings can be worth it.
The Eufy Cordless Robot Vacuum Cleaner is currently down from £249 to £190 at Argos, making a saving of £59.
MAKE IT FUN: In just ten minutes, kids can make it look like a tornado is ripping through your previously tidy house.
And usually they are stubbornly reluctant to clean up.
So make cleaning up a game.
For example, who can put toys back in the box the fastest? Or who can find all the red Lego blocks, and then the yellow ones, etc.?
Don't let it pile up: The best habit to get into is to clean and tidy up as you go.
This means wiping down the sink and faucets quickly after brushing your teeth.
And put items back as soon as they have been used.
This way the jobs don't pile up and they are much easier to tackle on a regular basis.
