Such as: Bin bags, Vacuum cleaner, Spot cleaner/stain remover, Laundry basket, Clothes airer, Shoe rack/organiser, Storage boxes, T-towels and Oven gloves, Waste paper bin, Ironing board, Washing up bowl.
Bathroom
Time is usually limited, and probably so is space, so you may want to consider carefully what you will actually need to help you make the most of your available space, especially if you are sharing. One of our top-tips is Over door hooks - you will always need extra hooks, whether in the bathroom or your bedroom.
Plus choose from: Free standing mirror, Bin, Soap dispenser, Tumbler, Toilet Brush & holder, Shower caddy. We even have loo rolls.
