How to Make Housework Easy with JML

I am regularly looking for ideas on how to make housework easy. JML are the company which seem to regularly come up with some great ideas to make life a little easier. I was recently sent a few of their products for review.

Phoenix Gold FreeFlight Cordless Iron

I am not going to beat around the bush here. I hate ironing. Hate it with a passion. I think because, in former life, I regularly had to iron chef whites for my then partner. I think I did my life’s share and now I don’t really enjoy it. So one of the ways I wanted to look at how to make housework easy is with a better iron. Anything to make it easier is good in my book.

Enter the Phoenix Gold FreeFlight iron. The fact that it is cordless means that it is much easier to move around. You are not restricted to a cord length and whether you are right-handed – like me – or left-handed – like Ross – you are able to reach either end of the ironing board in any position.

The base is made of a smooth, ceramic-coated soleplate. This means it easily glides across all fabrics without sticking or snagging. The precision tip also enables you to reach tricky areas. I have always found ironing pleats an issue but this iron makes easy work of it.

The soleplate heats up from cold in less than 30 seconds making your ironing quicker – a win in my book! Plus, the reheat time, when placed back in the dock, is only 6 seconds so even less time is wasted. If you choose, you can use Phoenix Gold FreeFlight while still attached to its dock, to prevent any downtime.

One of the biggest issues I have experienced with irons is the lime scale building up and then being transferred onto your clothes when using the steam function. Thankfully, the Anti-Calc and Self-Clean functions on the Phoenix help to eliminate lime scale build-up to prolong the life of the iron. There is also an anti-Drip system which stops stains from water droplets at low ironing temperatures. There’s an Auto-off safety setting – a good idea with a small baby around, plus a ‘Ready to Use’ thermostat light indicator.

Costs £49.99.

Ultimate FastFit Ironing Board Cover

Next on my list of how to make housework easy is to improve the ironing board. In addition to the Phoenix Cordless Iron, JML offer up the Ultimate FastFit Ironing Board Cover to help make ironing even easier.

The cover has a 100% cotton non-slip surface which enables it to hold any clothes you are ironing in place. This means that your ironing time is quicker.  And you know that thing where you make a ripple in the fabric that is hard to get rid of? It helps to reduce this.

The foam inside the cover is much denser than you would find on a standard ironing board cover which offers better heat reflection. The enables you to effectively iron both sides at once, or multiple layers, and make the most of the heat and steam.

To ensure that the cover stays in place securely, there is an elasticated edging which means that it is quick and easy to fit and helps with the ease of ironing.

This cover fits any standard ironing board up to 139cmx49cm in seconds and comes in a range of colours and designs and is a great price at £9.99.

How to make housework easy with the Hurricane Spin Scrubber

 

The problem with cleaning products is that I always expect a miracle. I guess there is no implement or device out there that will ever fully take away the frustration of the never-ending housework situation! But the hurricane spin scrubber definitely makes my list on how to make housework easy.

It claims to blast through every last bit of dirt. I have used it in our bathroom and, I can safely say, that it is pretty good. I definitely need to go over the corner tiles of our bath again as there is still some lime scale there but, it certainly does a better job than I can with cleaning liquid and a sponge!

The scrubber spins at 300rpm and, the best thing about it in my opinion, is that it has an extension pole taking it up to 4 foot long so you can reach all areas without bending or stretching. It is also rechargeable so no need for cables or batteries.

It comes with 3 interchangeable brush heads. There is a flat brush for large areas of floor and wall tiles, a corner brush shaped into a point to enable you to target corners, door tracks, trims and around your taps and a multi-purpose brush. There is also a handy storage bag.

The Hurricane spin scrubber costs a very reasonable £39.99 which is totally worth the money just for the ‘not bending over’ part!
