Swap Shop V Tiswas

I have to say I was a Swap shop sort of a girl. I loved  adored the program it was the highlight of my very otherwise hum drum week. Cool kids watched it .. and those who actually got to swap something walked on hallowed ground.

I once got through because my Grand dad worked for BT and he used to work his magic , yet despite this I was once on the list to talk to Peter Davidson  and he was giving away Fungus and the Bogeyman books.

Now this is going to sound really snobby but I wasn't allowed to watched Tiswas to my parents it was common , uncouth and kids who wore they nasty nylon T-shirts with Superman on it watched it.

 I have to admit watching clips of it now it drives me as quite bonkers and not entirely politically correct. Who knows I can't judge something really unless I have watched it religiously.

Swap shop was hosted by the legend on the mirco phone Noel Edmonds if you only remember him from " Deal or No Deal " then quite frankly you haven't lived and , please don't darken my door step.

Sawp shop started at 9.30 Noel Edmonds was joined by John Craven ( his crazy jumpers ) I didn't have a colour TV my world was black and white till 1986 so the mind drug tripping colours didn't bother me. Also joining the fun was Keith Chegwin and Maggie Philbin.

And with this  religion was Swap shop Mothers knew better than to drag their children out on a Saturday Morning for the obligatory visit to Timothy Whites.

Was I too middle class ?

Would I be SO differant a person now if I had watched Tiswas ?

Vax S2ST Bare Floor Pro steam cleaner

Cleaning my floors is one of my favourite most hated jobs you would have thought I would have learnt not to have light coloured floor tiles any where in my house but no no I have them in my bathroom and in my kitchen  cream floor tiles And with a rugby,cricket,football playing son, two cats and a husband I pretty much fall down on my knees and weep at the state of my floors. And with normal  everyday mopping I really really hate the amount of time it takes the floor to dry and my son is really wanting to eat something from the fridge the hungry gangly teengager he is. Previously to using this mop the 5 second rule on picking up dropped food on my kitchen floor did not exist!.

I have used this many times now and I've been very pleased with its performance. It always leaves the floor squeaky clean and the drying time is quick tl as the floor doesn't get soaking wet like it does with a conventional mop. 

Throw away your messy mop and bucket--the Vax S2ST Bare Floor Pro steam cleaner makes cleaning your floors effortless. It’s lightweight, manoeuvrable and very easy to use.

Unlike other steam cleaners, it uses an exclusive TwinTank Technology to combine steam with a specially formulated Vax detergent to deliver extra cleaning power, right where it’s needed.

Vax’s environmentally friendly Steam detergent cuts through grease and grime, eliminating 99.9% of harmful bacteria for up to seven days. It’s ideal for cleaning up after your kids and pets, leaving your bare floors sparkling clean and smelling citrus fresh.

On getting it out of the box it was straightforward to assemble and the instructions were clear and simple to follow

oooh Sprakly and fresh bathroom.

Ready to tackle those high traffic areas of my son traipsing through the kitchen and my two cats!

After cleaning my  kitchen floor  the coral Mop head came up BLACK !

The Bare Floor Pro’s cleaning pads are quick and easy to fit and remove, and they are washable so they can be used time and time again. Once the unit has cooled down, the cleaning pad can be easily peeled away from the base. To clean the pads, simply wash them in your washing machine at a warm temperature using a mild detergent, then allow to dry before using again.

The Bare Floor Pro includes two 500ml bottles of Vax Steam cleaning detergent, two microfibre cleaning pads and a carpet glider. Though mine came with two Coral mop heads and three bottles of detergent , there appears to be some sort of special deal on at the moment.

A nice clean floor

This powerful steam cleaner is perfect for a wide variety of sealed bare floor surfaces including tiles, lino, laminate and wood. A carpet glider is also provided for refreshing your carpets and rugs.

To steam clean your hard floors, simply attach a cleaning pad and then fill up the clean water and detergent tanks. Switch it on and wait a minute for it to heat up. Once the green light comes on, you’re ready to steam. Squeeze the trigger to release the steam and move the steam stick slowly backwards and forwards across the floor.

To refresh your carpets and rugs, simply fit the carpet glider tool over the cleaning pad before use. A full tank of clean water provides around 10 minutes steaming time.

The next mission is to refresh my bedroom carpet which I shall blog about soon !

Its contoured design cleans right into corners

The Bare Floor Pro can also be used without detergent, if preferred. Simply use the clean control dial to select your preferred mode of cleaning.Once you’ve finished cleaning, the Bare Floor Pro stores away neatly on its cooling base, allowing it to cool down safely, away from the floor
