Do it Yourself, But Make it a Deep Clean

If your weekend cleaning routine has started feeling a bit… surface level, you’re not alone. A quick vacuum here, a mop swipe there, maybe a half-hearted go at the bathroom tiles, it’s easy to convince yourself the house is spotless. But let’s be honest, even the best-looking floors can hide a scary amount of grime. We’re talking built-up dust, allergens, and the odd mystery stain that is somehow growing?

Enter the DIY deep clean. It sounds intense, but with the right setup, it’s surprisingly satisfying. You get the kind of clean that doesn’t just look good—it feels good. Like “fresh sheet energy” but for your whole home.

So what’s the game plan?

First, you want to work smarter, not harder. That means ditching the idea that you need to buy a cupboard full of specialty products or drop a few hundred on a one-off professional service. Instead, take the reins yourself.

Start by hiring the Britex 3in1 Deep Cleaning Machine. It’s available at that big hardware store we all know and love (shoutout Bunnings), and it’s got the muscle to handle everything from tired carpets to grimy upholstery. This isn’t your average lightweight hire, this is a professional-grade machine that’s refreshingly easy to use. Translation? You get the results of a pro clean, minus the awkward small talk.

What should you clean first?

The carpet’s an obvious win. Even if it looks fine, it’s probably hanging on to more dirt than your doormat. Start with a thorough vacuum to pick up surface dust, then go in with the Britex 3in1Deep Cleaning Machine. It injects cleaning solution deep into the fibres and then powerfully extracts it, along with all the gunk you didn’t know was living rent-free in your floor.

Bonus points if you pre-treat with the Britex Spot ‘n’ Stain to target problem areas. Spilled wine? Pet accidents? A questionable patch near the couch that no one’s fessing up to? Sorted.

Once you’re done with the floors, don’t stop there. Britex also comes with attachments for upholstery and car interiors. That armchair you’ve been side-eyeing? Fresh as a daisy. Your car seats after a beach trip with the kids? Game-changer.

Want it to smell as clean as it looks?

Toss in a dose of the Britex Odour Blaster. It neutralises smells instead of just masking them, so you’re not walking into a vaguely floral version of last week’s takeaway spill. Ideal for pet households, renters, and anyone whose home has ever hosted a Friday night in.

The DIY deep clean verdict?

You don’t need to outsource your clean to get pro results. A Britex machine, a couple of hours, and a can-do attitude is all it takes. Whether you’re spring cleaning, end-of-lease prepping, or just over the musty vibes in your loungeroom, this is the kind of refresh you can actually feel underfoot.
