Thoughtful Mother’s Day Gift Ideas for Less

March 3, 2023
Let us help you spoil mum, no matter what your budget is

Mother’s Day 2023 is just around the corner! No matter your age, Mother’s Day is the perfect opportunity to show your mum how much she’s loved and appreciated, and you don’t have to break the bank to do so.

Whether you’re celebrating your mum, step-mum, grandma, or another special mother figure in your life, we’re sure you’ll agree that they deserve the best of everything life can offer. With that in mind, we’ve popped together a list of our favourite budget-conscious Mother’s Day buys that make a lovely change from the classic flowers and chocolates.

When is Mother’s Day 2023?

In 2023, Mother’s Day is on Sunday March 19^th in the UK.

It is always on the fourth Sunday of Lent.

Why do we celebrate Mother’s Day?

Mother’s Day is the day that we celebrate mums across the UK for all the wonderful things they do. It is celebrated differently in every family, but the idea is to express the love and respect that you have for your mum. This could be through taking her out for a nice dinner, spoiling her with her favourite presents, or writing a touching note.

The Best Mother’s Day Gifts for Less

1. Fabulous food hamper

Don’t stop at a single box of chocs! Show your mum you’ve been paying attention to what she likes by putting together a hamper of all her favourite sweet treats and drinks. Add some colourful tissue paper and wrap up with cellophane and ribbons for a professional touch. These are some treats that would be perfect for a food hamper...

A luxurious chocolate bomb that creates the perfect hot chocolate in a matter of seconds. Just add warm milk and enjoy.

Spring Cleaning Tips for a Sparkling Clean Home

February 27, 2023
Spring cleaning is exactly what it sounds like; thoroughly cleaning your living space in the spring season. Often, people will use spring cleaning as a chance to get to all the household tasks they’ve been putting off, like washing their curtains or deep cleaning the oven.

The reason why we spring clean is somewhat a mystery, but it’s theorised that it was originally a way to get rid of the mess of winter in times where we would heat our homes with fires that created a lot of soot and dirt.

When should spring cleaning start?

There are no rules on when you should start spring cleaning, and with a busy schedule, you should simply try to fit it in whenever you get a chance. Generally, people will try and get their spring clean done sometime after the 1^st of March, but others use the term loosely throughout the year to describe any day that they spend deep cleaning.

Our spring cleaning tips

At Poundstretcher, we think there is nothing more cleansing than a good spring clean to dust away the cobwebs of the long winter months. It allows you to start your spring and summer on a clean, uncluttered slate. We know that cleaning your whole home is an overwhelming thought, so we have put together a spring-cleaning list which should help you figure out where to start and what to focus on.

We make sure to stock a massive range of cleaning products all year round that are proven customer favourites. Check out all of our cost-effective Cleaning Supplies.

1.    Get the worst jobs done first

We’re sure that like us, you have jobs that you put off for as long as you possibly can – but getting them out of the way before you start anything else will start you off on the best foot. If you have a boring, physically draining task like oven cleaning looming over you all day, you’re setting yourself up for a miserable day. Get it done (or delegate it to someone else!) first thing so you can focus on the smaller tasks without added stress.

2. Clean carpets and floors

Carpet cleaning is something we rarely have time to get round to, but using your spring cleaning day as a reminder to get this task done will make sure that you keep your carpets fresh and looking like new. If you have carpet all throughout your home, you might consider hiring a carpet cleaning machine for a day or two so you don’t have to scrub the floors by hand.

When you’re done, why not spritz your carpets with some Fab Fresh?

Fab Fresh Carpet Freshener Magnolia & Cherry Blossom

3.    Windows – inside and out

Window cleaning is a task that many of us neglect, especially when it’s cold and miserable outside. But regardless, it’s still a task that needs to be done! Remember to remove any dust and fine dirt from your windowpanes with a soft cloth before putting using any cleaning products or water.

Mr Muscle Window and Glass Care 750ml

Long-Handled Window Cleaner

4.    Deep clean your appliances

Let your spring cleaning day be the day that you finally deep clean your appliances. Your washing machine, oven, fridge freezer, dish washer, and even your microwave need to be cleaned thoroughly to keep them running to the best of their abilities. Maintaining your appliances can stop them from breaking down, saving you money in the long run.

Take a look at our kitchen cleaning products to stock up on what you need to get your kitchen appliances sparkling again. Here are some of our favourites.

Fab Fresh Oven Cleaner – Lemon Breeze

Cif Cream Original 500ml

5.    Replace anything that needs replacing

There are lots of items in your house that need replacing once a year (or more) which you probably forget about. Use this opportunity to replace:

Basic Open Toilet Brush

Mop Heads
- Extractor fan filters (though this should be done more frequently!)
And anything else you can think of that has to be refreshed and replaced. When things need replacing more frequently, you might find it handy to mark it in your phone calendar.

6. Finally, de-clutter and re-organise

Once the cleaning is done, it’s time to de-clutter and re-organise! Don’t let the thought of de-cluttering overwhelm you and try to do one room at a time. We’d suggest replacing old and broken organisers with new ones, and trying to start with the areas of your house that get the messiest.

Here are some products that could help you to get organised after your annual spring clean.

6 Tips When Buying Sanitation Products for Your Workplace

March 13, 2021

A clean workplace is essential for boosting staff morale and the overall reputation of your business. However, knowing which cleaning supplies you need can be confusing, especially when there is a wide range of cleaning and janitorial supplies on the market. In this article, we’ll share our top tips for purchasing workplace cleaning products, as well as revealing how to choose the best types of cleaning products for your workplace.

1. Create a list of your requirements

First, assess each area that needs to be cleaned regularly. This is likely to include windows, flooring, door handles, computer equipment, hard surfaces, carpets and upholstery. Each type of surface has varying care needs. For example, you can’t use a window cleaning product to clean carpets. Once you’re aware of each surface that requires regular cleaning, you can make a list of products to purchase. If you’re undertaking a thorough spring clean, then you will need to make sure you have enough cleaning supplies to hand.

2. Assess your general janitorial needs

Your workplace needs a general range of janitorial supplies constantly, including toilet roll, bin liners and bags, mops, cleaning cloths, paper towels and soap. Make a list of these and note down how many you require per month.

3. Opt to help the environment

Eco-friendly cleaning supplies are better for the environment, and your employees. Many cleaning chemicals are harmful, even when used in small amounts. Greener products, on the other hand, are often free from dangerous chemicals, using recyclable packing to benefit the planet.

4. Invest in cleaning equipment

If you want a professional clean finish, it may be time to invest in cleaning machines. Equipment, such as steam cleaners, are ideal for effective cleaning of carpet and upholstery. They’ll remove dirt, stains and bacteria efficiently, providing a deeper clean than simply using a cleaning product and cloth. Some cleaning equipment can be expensive to purchase so ask for a demo before you buy.

5. Hire the professionals

Commercial cleaning companies are cost-effective as they save you time and money in the long run. You can concentrate on what you do best – running your business, while the professionals can take care of those difficult cleaning tasks. Professional cleaners understand what type of cleaning chemicals work best on different surfaces and they often have their own equipment, so you don’t need to splash out too much.

6. Purchase in bulk

If you’re looking for ways to save money on your cleaning supplies, consider buying in bulk. Not only does this reduce costs, but it also means your workplace has enough cleaning products to last a few months.

Maintain your cleaning supplies to keep your workplace pristine

Use our handy tips when purchasing workplace cleaning products. Keeping a regular check on your office cleaning supplies ensures you maintain a spotless workplace, something which is important for the good health and safety of your employees and clients. Remember, if you want to maximise workplace efficiency, hiring a commercial cleaning company will take the stress out of understanding the best cleaning products for your workplace.

Our Top 5 DIY Cleaning Hacks

March 3, 2021

Carrying out your spring cleaning can be something many people do not exactly look forward to. But this time of year is prime for turning your home into a clean, happy and healthy space.

We understand however that you want to get the job done, and done effectively. You don’t want to put lots of effort in and ultimately feel like the place doesn’t really look much better.

At Poundstretcher, we know of a few cleaning hacks that can help you get things spotless and leave you feeling great after your spring cleaning. Take a look at our five DIY cleaning tricks.

White vinegar on stainless steel

Stainless steel surfaces are commonplace across the modern home, particularly in kitchens. Though an important part of any contemporary abode, these surfaces can be tough to get looking their very best.

We have found that by filling a spray bottle with one-part white vinegar, one part water, you can cover stainless steel with the mix and easily wash off grime and dirt. This helps get stainless steel surfaces pristine in no time.

Showerhead cleaning with bicarbonate soda & vinegar

Something we’ve found when putting together this blog is that vinegar is a really helpful thing when it comes to cleaning hacks around the home.

A mix of bicarbonate soda and vinegar can help clean your shower head. This is easily forgotten about, but in truth there can be build ups here. As this is something you want to get your body clean with, you don’t want it to be mucky!

We’ve found leaving your shower head in a mix of 250ml of vinegar and 3 table spoons of bicarbonate soda overnight can work wonders.

Remove water stains

Busy homes with lots of people naturally lead to the occasional spillage and stain. Water stains can seem harmless at first, but they can be a nightmare to remove if forgotten about.

Once again, vinegar can come to the rescue here. A spray with half a cup of vinegar and 2 cups of water can be used to lightly mist the stain, before blotting with a microfibre cloth can help remove the unwanted stain. For added speed, you can dry it out with a hairdryer.

Lemons to sanitise your rubbish disposal

Anybody with a rubbish disposal unit in their kitchen or home will know that these can quickly develop a rather pungent and unpleasant aroma.

To help overcome this and stop it making your kitchen really grim, you can stick some slices of lemon into the unit. This will take the edge off the stench and change it to something fresh instead.

Sanitise your chopping boards

Food preparation areas are an important part of any kitchen, but they need to be looked after.

Chopping boards pick up lots of bits and juices, and potentially become unsanitary. But thankfully you can sanitise them with warm water and lemon halves. This also helps get rid of any unwanted smells your chopping boards may have.

Find what you need at Poundstretcher

We hope you find these little hacks useful as you take on this year’s spring cleaning!

At Poundstretcher, you can find a host of excellent cleaning supplies that will help speed up your cleaning jobs and help you do things with a smile on your face.

To stock up on cleaning supplies yourself, simply plan a visit to your nearest Poundstretcher store. Find yours today and take advantage of the excellent products we have available at Poundstretcher.

How to Make Spring Cleaning Fun

March 3, 2021

The sky is a little lighter for longer in the evenings, which means the spring season is upon us. As well as the longer days and gradual rises in the temperature, spring brings with it an opportunity to crack on with some household cleaning.

Whether that’s dusting off the cobwebs on your appliances, getting rid of anything growing under the kitchen sink, giving the bathroom a fresh look or cleaning up the garden, spring is the season to tick all these boxes.

You may look at the title of this blog and think ‘how can cleaning and fun be used in the same sentence without a ‘not’ somewhere in between?’ The reason is, believe it or not, because cleaning can be fun!

We know this is something many tend to put off. But we have put together a few ideas on how to help make this dreaded chore a fun experience.

Turn it into a workout

What better way to get some exercise at home than getting it while cleaning up? Cleaning gives you a fantastic opportunity to add more physical activity to your daily routine.

Consider doing 10 lunges for every room you vacuum, or why not do some squats when picking up and putting down your cleaning equipment? You can even practice your stretches when reaching high whilst cleaning the windows.

The combinations are endless and only limited by your creativity. Turning spring cleaning into a workout will give you an extra sense of accomplishment when you are all done, and some added motivation to clean more regularly. A lot of us are currently limited to exercising at home anyway so this is a win-win in our book!

Finding old treasures

Remember that keyring from your last trip abroad you swear you left on the bedside table? Or that childhood toy that’s been missing for years? Spring cleaning is a great chance to find some old treasures that you have given up on looking for. It gives you a chance to move things around and ensure each corner of the home is spotless. If you are lucky, you may also find a fair bit of change that might have slipped of pockets and gone under the sofa.

It’s also a great opportunity to give away or sell old items you no longer need. Doing so can help bring in a welcome amount of cash for items you have not needed for years, and help clean up the place at the same time. Or if you have found you or the children have a lot of old clothes or toys that are no longer needed, consider donating them to charity.

Competition time with the whole family

Getting the whole family involved will make cleaning much quicker and is a productive way to bond with everyone. We know the idea of cleaning is not the most enticing, particularly for some children, so why not turn it into a competition.

There is no shortage of amazing and affordable toys and games available from Poundstretcher to select as your rewards. Maybe write down some chores and set out a date by which they should be completed and then enjoy a family reward. Having that light at the end of the tunnel will make spring cleaning a more enjoyable experience for all.

You can even challenge yourself. See how much you can get done in an hour and then try to beat that record!

Having the right supplies

The most important element of your spring cleaning is having the right cleaning supplies. This will make cleaning much easier and effective. Luckily for you, at your local Poundstretcher, you will find a vast collection of affordable cleaning supplies from leading and trusted brands.

Our offering includes just the right equipment and supplies you need to tackle all areas of the home. Whether that’s cleaning the bathroom, or wiping down the kitchen surfaces, or giving the living room carpet a once over, you can top up your cleaning cabinet and meet all your cleaning supply needs at Poundstretcher.

Plan your next Poundstretcher trip today

To take advantage of all the great cleaning products we have available at Poundstretcher, simply start planning a trip to your nearest store today.

Be sure to browse our cleaning range online so you know just what you are after when you arrive at our store. We also strongly recommend you check out our latest blog on our Top 10 Cleaning Products for some inspiration, which also features a handy cleaning checklist.
