It’s probably safe to say that for the overwhelming majority of people, the idea of going about a house clearance in London really is about as devoid of joy as anything can be. Whether it’s a spot of essential spring cleaning, a long overdue effort to clear the clutter or something of an exercise in optimisation prior to moving home, it’s the kind of thing most of us will have to undertake one time or another.

Many businesses have made the mistake of failing to make an informed decision on which cleaning companies to employ and, as a result, discovered just how much of an impact it can have on their business. Outsourcing is a must for today’s SMEs, but with so many different companies to choose from, it can be hard to know where to begin. Fortunately there are a series of considerations that can make reaching the ideal choice much easier and more cost effective.

If asked the question ‘what are the most essential items in your home?’ most Londoners would more than likely name one or more of their home appliances. Indeed, it would be a fair assumption that ‘television’, ‘microwave’ and ‘computer’ would be the top answers if the makers of Family Fortunes were to ask 100 Londoners a question of this kind.

There is nothing better than wrapping a soft, fluffy and warm towel around you the moment you step out of the bath. In fact, if the towel you have on hand is cold, stiff or scratchy it may well ruin your bathing experience totally, and turn what should have been a relaxing, energising or invigorating experience into one that is frustrating and disappointing.
