Amazon Restocks the Dyson V8, Still at an Insanely Low All-Time Price
Having a cordless stick vacuum is a game-changer for the modern home… but only if it's powerful enough to handle daily messes. A weak cleaner can quickly become more hassle than it's worth. That's where Dyson comes in. With its track record for engineering expertise and design brilliance, Dyson has set the gold standard in home cleaning technology. If you're not looking to drop a thousand dollars on the latest Dyson model, you can still enjoy top-notch cleaning with a slightly older but still incredible machine like the V8 Plus. This model is the most affordable way to bring Dyson's legendary power into your home, and it's been flying off the shelves due to high demand. Amazon has just restocked, but with its popularity, another shortage could be just around the corner. Right now, the Dyson V8 Plus cordless vacuum is on Amazon for just $349, which is a considerable drop from its regular retail price of $469. That's over $120 in savings, so this is an excellent opportunity to upgrade your cleaning without spending a fortune. See at Amazon Why Buy a Dyson V8 Plus? First off, it's cordless and light, only weighing 2.6kg / 5.73lbs so you can carry it room to room with ease and no strain. The vacuum gives you up to 40 minutes of fade-free power so you can clean your entire home without needing to stress about losing suction midway. It features two cleaning modes: a normal mode for everyday use, which provides a balance of power and battery life, and a MAX mode for those really stubborn messes that need extra muscle. You will also love the upgraded Motorbar cleaner head that is designed to deep clean all floor types – hardwood, tile, carpet, and beyond. It even detangles long hair and pet hair as you clean, and reduces the frustration of clogged brushes. The vacuum easily converts to a handheld which makes it perfect for cleaning cars, stairs and upholstery. There are four Dyson-engineered accessories in the box: a mini soft dusting brush, a crevice tool, a hair screw tool and a wall docking station for convenient storage and charging. The Dyson V8 Plus also has improved whole-machine filtration which traps 99.99% of particles as small as 0.3 microns. That means not only will it pick up dirt and dust but it will also work to expel cleaner air back into your home, making it a great choice for anyone with allergies or anyone who wants a healthier home. The vacuum is built with tough materials for strength and convenience and is supported by a two-year warranty and lifetime Dyson service. With the Dyson V8 Plus, you're buying a cleaner, healthier home and the peace of mind that comes with it. See at Amazon

'Spectacular for the price!': I tested the budget-friendly robot vacuum that rivals models twice the price - and it's 56% off right now
If, like me, vacuuming is the chore you dread the most, then this affordable robot vacuum may be the dust-busting solution you've been looking for. Designed to keep your home spotless without you having to lift a finger, the Lubluelu L15 Plus from AliExpress is a two-in-one vacuum and mop robot that claims to make keeping your spaces spick and span easier than ever. So, I put it to the test. Lubluelu L15 Plus Robot Vacuum Whether you're juggling work and kids or simply hate dragging out the vacuum cleaner, the Lubluelu L15 Plus Robot Vacuum could be the game-changing gadget your home has been missing. Yours for just £132.19 reduced from £329.94 (a huge 59 per cent discount), this impressive robot vacuum is app-controlled and utterly easy to use, designed to vacuum and mop in one for a spotless clean that requires zero effort. £132.19 (save £197.75) Shop If, like me, you've ever dreamed of never having to clean again, then a robot vacuum like this one may be the solution you've been looking for. And better still? It won't break the bank, either. Whether you're juggling work and kids or simply hate dragging out the vacuum cleaner, the Lubluelu L15 Plus Robot Vacuum could be the game-changing gadget your home's been missing - and with rave reviews flooding in of its impressive suction and reliable design, it's no wonder it's flying off shelves. 'This robot vacuum is truly spectacular for the price,' raved one impressed five-star reviewer. 'I purchased a different model four years ago for the same amount, and it lacked many of the advanced features found here. 'The lidar mapping technology is excellent; it quickly and accurately mapped my four downstairs rooms in only 20 minutes before getting straight to work. I appreciate the ability to schedule cleaning times, and its return to the docking station is consistently flawless.' Yours for just £132.19 reduced from £329.94 (a huge 59 per cent discount), the Lubluelu L15 Plus is app-controlled and utterly easy to use, designed to vacuum and mop in one for a spotless clean that requires zero effort. Ideal for carpets and hard floors alike, the robot vacuum works hard to keep your spaces clean, boasting powerful 5000PA suction that makes light work of dirt, debris and pet hair, while the mop mode tackles dirty floors with ease. Whether you're cleaning the whole room or just the edges, you can pick and choose just how you want your clean to go. The vacuum will even increase the suction power to maximum when a carpet is detected, ensuring no muck is left behind. Connecting seamlessly to your home Wi-Fi, the Lubluelu L15 Plus can be controlled using the easy-to-use app, which enables you to schedule, monitor in real-time, choose specifics of your cleaning, amend your home map, and so much more. Got spaces you don't want your vac to go? It's easy to set up no-go zones to ensure your vacuum avoids areas such as pet bowls, cords, delicate rugs or even specific rooms – especially ideal when you're using it to mop hard floors. The vacuum is suitable for big and small jobs alike, too, thanks to its huge 2L auto empty dock that automatically empties the collected dust and debris into an enclosed bag at the end of each clean and notifies you when the bag is full. Cleaning has never been so, well, clean. But what did I think of the Lubluelu L15 Plus Robot Vacuum? App and setup Setup with this vacuum was incredibly easy, and it came with three-quarters of a tank of charge, which meant I could get straight to work after configuring the app – which took minutes. Instantly, the little vacuum got to work mapping out my floorplan, working out each cleanable nook and cranny in a matter of minutes and translating them onto the map for me to see. Each cleaning space, or 'room', was neatly labelled for easy control. Because that's one thing about this app-controlled vacuum – it's all incredibly easy to use. Whether you're scheduling cleans, creating no-go areas, cleaning specific rooms, playing with suction levels, or even switching up the mop-wetness levels, everything is simple and user-friendly. Vacuum I sent the little vacuum out first to tackle my hard floor layout that hadn't been hoovered in a few weeks, so it was a reasonably tough first mission. Despite being simply on 'Standard' suction mode rather than 'Strong' or 'Max', it made light work of dust, debris and hair, leaving my floors totally clean - and I didn't even have to pick up my handheld vacuum. Skirting around chair and table legs with ease (which I wasn't expecting it to be able to do), it cleaned in the places that even I find hard to reach, like under the sofa and coffee tables. This is all thanks to its fairly slim, low-to-the-ground design, which slips under furniture easily. It's worth noting that while the vac is low to the ground, it's not small in general, which feels at odds with its 250ml capacity. It's quieter than I expected too, but probably just a touch too loud to ignore if you're watching TV in the same room with it. Far quieter than my current vacuum, which costs twice the price! Now, you do have to make sure that any wires, blankets and shoelaces are tucked away, or it will suck them up and get all confused, but I now have a little pre-vac ritual where such things are tucked away for easy cleaning. Dock After each clean you send it out on, the vacuum returns to its dock and empties by itself, which makes a noise akin to a proper vacuum for about 30 seconds. Not too bad. One small issue is that the dock requires lots of space around it for the vacuum to successfully find it to charge and empty, which I don't necessarily have. Thus, I have to move my table a bit in order for it to find its home. Mop The mop function of this little vacuum seriously impressed me, simply using water to scrub your floor clean. It was easy to fill the water tank, and even after mopping my entire flat, the water tank was only half empty. You can choose how wet you'd like it to mop, from 'Low' to 'High, as well as what I chose – 'Medium', which left some slight wet residue but dried very quickly. While it wasn't quite able to tackle my larger floor stains super easily, with a spritz of surface spray on each heavier mark a few minutes before, the vacuum was able to clean them away successfully. Thus, while you shouldn't put detergents in the water tank, you could easily pop some on the floor for a deeper clean. And once I was finished and my floors were spotless? I simply removed the Velcro mop head and chucked it in the washing machine. What could be easier? Final verdict I'll admit, when I saw the low price of the Lubluelu L15 Plus Robot Vacuum I didn't think it would work anywhere near as well as it did. But, truthfully, I'm so incredibly impressed by this vacuum that I can't see myself without it now. Quickly and efficiently, it vacuums, sweeps and mops deftly, and comes with a very user-friendly app, sleek design and reasonably quiet performance; all for just over £130. It's a real bargain, if you ask me, and a total five out of five. After your own little household cleaner for less? Snap up your own Lubluelu L15 Plus Robot Vacuum at a reduced price here at

You're drying your washing wrong! Expert reveals why you SHOULDN'T hang your clothes outside during the UK heatwave
Hanging out the washing is a chore that many Brits dread - and now it turns out you've probably been doing it wrong. A home cleaning expert has urged Brits not to hang their clothes outside during the heatwave. With parts of the UK set to hit 32°C this week, this advice might come as a surprise to many. However, Nigel Bearman, home cleaning expert and founder of Daily Poppins, warned that pollen levels are also set to skyrocket over the next few days. This could prove particularly problematic for hayfever sufferers. 'Hanging your clothes, bedding or towels outside on high pollen days is a recipe for itchy eyes and a stuffy nose,' Mr Bearman explained. 'The wet laundry acts like a sponge, soaking up all the pollen. It settles into the fibres and clings on as the fabric dries, meaning it'll end up in your bed, wardrobe and on your skin. 'It's no wonder so many people have allergy flare-ups even in their own homes.' According to the Met Office, pollen levels are 'very high' across the south of England and Wales today. By tomorrow, Northern Ireland and the north of England will also have 'very high' levels. And by Friday, almost the whole UK will be plagued with 'very high' levels of pollen. Most hayfever sufferers know to stock up on antihistamines and to stay inside during these conditions. However, you might not be aware that it's also best to keep your clothes indoors during these so-called 'pollen bombs' Mr Bearman explained that laundry fibres - especially cotton, linen, and towels - trap pollen easily. And even when you take your washing insde, the pollen can linger for hours - aggravating sympoms like itchy eyes, blocked nose, and sneezing. 'On high pollen days, I always recommend drying your clothes indoors, ideally near a window or with decent airflow,' he advised. 'If you're short on space, use a collapsible drying rack in a well-ventilated room.' The Met Office pollen forecast will come as no surprise to many Londoners, who have complained of high pollen levels for weeks. On social media, residents have complained of tight chests, red eyes, and brain fog as they walked through the parks. In a video posted to TikTok, one user said: 'I felt like I had literal shards of pollen going into my eyes. 'Please tell me I'm not the only one because that was scary and I need to know how to prepare for the rest of summer if it's going to be like this.' Conditions have been so bad that even those who normally don't suffer from hay fever say they have been affected. One commenter wrote: 'I thought it was just me. I've never had an issue with hay fever until this weekend.' Piers Morgan was one of those affected by the pollen bomb, tweeting: 'Anyone else got shocking hay fever in London today? 'Even trusty Fexofenadine barely touching the wheezing, sneezy, fog-brained sides..' Why DO some people suddenly develop hay fever out of the blue? For most hay fever sufferers, symptoms begin in childhood and persist for the rest of their lives. But some people appear to develop the condition suddenly and without any obvious reason, even well into their adult life. No-one knows exactly why hay fever can appear out of the blue but there are a number of theories. One is that they experienced very mild symptoms as a child that they did not notice. Another is the 'hygiene hypothesis', that our bodies are weaker as we age because we aren't exposed to as many infections as children. Research has indicated that youngsters who grow up on farms with regular contact with animals are less likely to develop allergies later in life. Another possibility is that sudden hay fever happens when the body is exposed to new surroundings - like moving from the city to the countryside, where there is usually more pollen. But the same might also be true in people moving from rural to urban areas, with some evidence that pollution can exacerbate hay fever. A weakening of the immune system could also be a trigger. A bad infection, illness or traumatic emotional event may leave the body vulnerable to normally harmless allergens. Between 15 and 20 per cent of people in the UK are thought to be affected, with the numbers being even higher among teenagers and symptoms typically peaking in people's 20s.
