Spring cleaning? I expected a cute piece on vinegar and bicarb but got a huge piece of greenwash from some woman whose claim to fame is being presenter of a makeover show for ITV (Sorry it would appear my snob button got pressed at the same time as the high dudgeon one
)It would appear that spring cleaning, for this woman, entails completely renovating. She moans that the average house temperature has increased from 12C in the 70s to 17.5C nowadays. Her response to this is to have us replace the lighting, furniture, soft furnishings, kitchen units (although she does suggest we might economise by looking at ex-display kitchens - av. price £15k). Oh and we need to install underfloor heating too and redecorate using chemical absorbing paints.
Not bad for a spring clean, eh? What happened to washing the curtains and dusting? I presume after buying all this lot she can't afford a buy the jumper that she could have worn so she could just turn down the heating instead of getting all this lot. And what does she intend to do with all the discarded kitchens etc?
It almost put me off my cheese on toast
