GREEN LIVING
Transform your space this summer with the latest kitchen gadgets, cleaning essentials and garden must-haves.
COMPOSTABLE COFFEE
Grind Nespresso ®Compatible Coffee Pods (£15 for 30, grind.co.uk) are the UK’s first certified homecompostable coffee pods that will decompose quicker than garden grass cuttings! Made from organic and biodegradable PHA, the plastic-free pods keep your coffee fresh for months, without losing its flavour or quality. Seven blends are available, including the new Dark Blend Decaf.
CREATE YOUR OWN SPA
Want a more relaxing home environment? Try The Copenhagen Company Retreat Aromatherapy Range (from £11, thecopenhagencompany.com), which has a collection of aromatherapy candles, diffusers and room sprays. We love the natural and uplifting Escape Candle, which blends notes of warming cedar wood and fresh vetiver with sweet citrus and fragrant orange blossom.
SUMMER SMOOTHIES
Nothing says summer like fresh smoothies. Create your own with the new Smeg Personal Blender* (£109, smeg.uk), which comes in seven colours to suit all homes. The compact appliance has two speeds, a double blade and a 300W motor to effortlessly blend fruit and veg. You also receive Smeg’s BPA-free Tritan Renew bottles so you can enjoy your smoothie on the go!
DEEP CLEAN YOUR CARPETS
Vax Platinum SmartWash (£299.99, vax.co.uk) is the UK’s first carpet washer with motion-sense technology that kills more than 99 per cent of bacteria trapped in your carpet fibres. Simple to use, just add warm water and the Vax antibacterial solution, then let the advanced FlexForce brush bars set to work agitating the carpet to remove tough stains, dirt and spills. It also includes a stretch hose, SpinScrub hand tool and 2-in-1 antimicrobial wash tool so you can deep clean stairs, sofas, pet beds, car interiors
