Types of floorcare
If you’ve got a large house, a traditional upright vacuum with a big capacity is probably your best bet. While if you live in a smaller flat, a more compact upright or cylinder vac would be a better option. And maybe you actually need two to tackle different jobs? Cordless vacuums are great for quick daily cleans – in your house or the back of the car – and are the perfect partner for your main vacuum cleaner.
What kind of surfaces are in your home too? For the hard floors in your kitchen, we’d recommend a steam cleaner. But for a deeper clean on your living room carpets, you’re going to need a carpet cleaner instead. Check out our full floorcare range.

What is the best upright vacuum cleaner?
Uprights are best for cleaning homes that have a lot of carpet, as a brush combs the carpet pile to lift any trodden in dirt. Uprights are better if you suffer from lower back pain too, as there’s less bending down, and they’re easy to manoeuvre and steer.

What is the best cylinder vacuum cleaner?
Cylinder vacuum cleaners are usually smaller and lighter than uprights – making them perfect for smaller homes. They’re easy to move around the house and store away when you’re not using it. These vacs can be used on carpets, hard floors, and stairs. And can often clean hard to reach places a lot easier than other vacuum cleaners.

What is the best robot vacuum cleaner?
A robot vacuum cleaner will automatically clean your floor, using sensors to spot and avoid any obstacles. So, it’ll do all the hard work for you – and save you a bunch of time too.

Which are the best steam cleaners?
These multi-purpose appliances use steam to get rid of dirt and stains from carpets, tiles, hard floors, ovens, windows, clothes, and furniture. They don’t use detergent – which makes them kinder to the environment – but do need time to heat up to create steam. They’ll also need refilling with water while you use it.

What is the best carpet cleaner?
Carpet cleaners wash your carpets using a detergent cleaning solution. Using a carpet washer will help to reduce the appearance of stains – and can break down stubborn dirt that’s built up in the carpet pile. A carpet washer can leave your carpets up to ten times cleaner than vacuuming and can be dry enough to walk on in just two to three hours.
