Surface cleaners

Discover our range of Surface cleaners

Spring scrub or quick spruce, having the right surface cleaner turns jobs from a slog into a simple routine. Indoors that might mean a carpet washer for spills and pet trails, a steam cleaner for sealed hard floors and tiles, and a window vac for streak-free panes. Outside, a pressure washer freshens patios, decking, and garden furniture when the weather turns.

Match tool to task. Carpets and rugs benefit from a dedicated washer that injects cleaning solution and lifts it back out, which helps with trapped dirt and odours. Sealed hard floors respond well to steam or microfibre systems that lift marks without harsh chemicals. For windows and shower screens, a squeegee plus window vac saves drips and leaves a tidy finish in fewer passes.

For patios and paths, a pressure washer with a patio head helps you clean evenly and keep spray under control. Start on a lower setting and test a discreet patch first, then step up as needed, especially on softer stone or pointing. Garden furniture usually needs only a gentle rinse and a mild detergent, not full power.

Small habits make a big difference. Pre-treat stains on carpets, vacuum first, then wash to avoid making mud. On floors, change pads as soon as they look grey, not at the end of the room. For windows, wipe frames before glass so dirty water does not streak clean panes. After outdoor cleans, flush the pressure washer with fresh water and coil the hose loosely to prevent kinks.

Currys stocks a range of surface cleaning tools and accessories. Look at each product page for the right consumables, such as floor pads, detergents, or replacement nozzles, and confirm which surfaces are suitable. Pricing and availability vary by retailer and region.

What should I use on a patio?

A pressure washer with a patio cleaner head keeps spray contained and coverage even. Test on a low setting first and avoid loose pointing.

Can I steam clean all hard floors?

Only on sealed surfaces. Check the flooring maker's guidance. Use a lower setting on delicate finishes and keep the pad moving.

How often should I wash carpets?

High-traffic areas benefit from a seasonal deep clean, with spot treatments as needed. Always vacuum thoroughly before washing.

Will a window vac replace a squeegee?

It speeds up the job and catches drips. Many people still use a quick squeegee pass for edges and frames first.
