Diy News Bulletin


For cleaning up after DIY, there's a great new product from Black & Decker - the Steam Mop.


The mop uses just ws ater and heat - no detergent necessary - and kills 99.9% of germs. All you need is tap water - pour it into the tank, turn on the mop and it filters the water and heats it in seconds. You can see at a glance when it's ready to go because the light changes from red to blue - it's really quick.


The cleaning's done by a washable microfibre pad, which attaches to the mop's 180-degree swivel head. The head makes it easy to manoeuvre the pad around the room and under furniture, and there's a very long power lead, so you're not restricted. The mop can be used on stone and ceramic tiles, vinyl, wooden flooring, laminate and carpet (there's a special attachment for this), and finding the right setting for your flooring is a doddle, thanks to the illustrated Autoselect dial.


The Black & Decker Steam Mop costs pounds 79.99 from Currys, Comet, Argos, B&Q and Amazon. See www.blackanddecker.co.uk for more information.


. ? It's National Shed Week starting on Monday (it runs to July 10) and if yours has seen better days, Screwfix has a couple of good 'uns that are built to last.
