UK homes vary from compact Victorian terraces to airy new‑builds. In wet months, ventilation matters: open trickle vents and run bathroom extractors longer to keep mould at bay. In London’s high‑traffic zones we advise weekly dusting of skirting and door frames; in coastal cities like Liverpool, salt residue on windows needs gentler detergents.

For allergy relief, choose low‑pile rugs that vacuum easily and launder bedding at 60°C. Skip harsh bleach on natural stone — pH‑neutral products preserve sealants. Between visits, a simple five‑minute reset — clear counters, load the dishwasher, quick vacuum of high‑traffic areas — keeps order with minimal effort.
