We’ve recently gone on a deep dive into the internet to explore what parts of the home or everyday items people struggle to clean and put together some top tips and product recommendations to help.

The top 10 spaces and appliances voted hardest to clean include:

1. Showers and shower screens

From stubborn dirt lurking in the grime to the challenges of germs, it becomes a real hassle when germs become visible in a space that’s supposed to be clean. Not only will it bother you, but it might bother your guests too. So, if you’re after a quick and easy solution look to the Britex Grout & Tile Spray that is ideal for lifting tough grease stains, soap scum, dirt and grime from grout and tiled surfaces.

2. Kitchen backsplash 

Similar to the previous note, a kitchen should always be a clean space before and after cooking in order to reduce germs and other mess. If you have tiles or a stone kitchen backsplash, the Grout & Tile Spray may just be the perfect solution. However, don’t forget to try the Britex Spot ‘n’ Stain spray too, which is suitable for old and new stains from food and beverage spills, crayon, chocolate, oil, grease, grime, mud and much more.

3. Couch

Over time the build-up of crumbs, spilled drink stains, pet hair and oil from your own body can start to become visible on fabric surfaces.

5. Kettle

For the inside, here’s a simple trick: wipe the bottom with a freshly cut lemon to get rid of stains.

And of course Britex Spot ’n’ Stain is perfect to get the outside sparkling.

6. Dust build up
