How to clean your oven without harsh chemicals
Pet hair and tiled floors need a different kind of vacuum cleaner. Look for strong suction and a brush that does not tangle.A bagless cylinder model is easy to empty and works well on tiles and rugs. Check the filter type if anyone at home has allergies.
Keep spare filters and bags on hand, and empty the container often so suction stays strong. Our team in Mill Park can show you how each model handles hair before you decide.
Choosing suction power
Higher wattage is not always better. Look at the suction, the filter and the weight, because you will be carrying it up and down stairs. A cordless handheld is handy for quick jobs, while a cylinder model suits the whole house and cleans deeper into the carpet fibres.
A vacuum cleaner is only as good as its filter and its brush. Choose one that suits your floors, and it will serve you well for many years.
Oven cleaning does not need harsh chemicals. A paste of bicarbonate of soda and water, left overnight, loosens baked-on grease. Wipe it away with a damp cloth and a splash of vinegar for a shine. Always switch the oven off and let it cool completely before you start. Take the racks out and soak them in warm soapy water.
Air fryer or microwave
An air fryer crisps and browns, while a microwave heats and defrosts fast. Many households use both. Tell us what you cook most often and we will point you to the right one.
Choosing the right fridge size for you
A good appliance should fit your kitchen, your budget and your daily routine. At Toestelhuis in Mill Park we help families across Gqeberha compare sizes, energy ratings and running costs before they buy anything.
Most households need less than they think. A couple usually does well with a fridge of about 200 litres, while a family of four is more comfortable with a fridge freezer of 350 litres or more. Measure the space first, including the door swing, then check the energy rating. A slightly dearer model often pays itself back on your Eskom bill within a few years.
