How do I keep on top of cleaning in a busy family home

Break cleaning into small, regular jobs. Use doormats, shoe rules and quick wipe downs to reduce how much grime spreads through the house. Choose products that are easy to grab and use in short bursts.

What tools help in large or open plan spaces

A decent vacuum, a mop that is quick to wring out and a caddy for products make a big difference. The easier it is to move around with your kit, the more likely you are to use it.
