Buy a Ewbank or Bessel long handled carpet sweeper to collect the fluff and crumbs from your carpets. It works as efficiently as a vacuum cleaner, is quicker than getting the vacuum out, is clean and saves power! Works a real treat. It's also fun to use something that's retro but is perfect for contemporary living.

A good way to get an idea of how good your loft insulation is, is when the roof gets covered in snow during the winter. If one part of your roof clears before any of the rest of it, that is where heat is escaping. More insulation is needed there. If your roof clears before some of your neighbour's houses, then you know your insulation isn't as good as theirs.

Conversely, if your roof still has snow when it's melted from all the other roofs around, then pat yourself on the back, your insulation is very good indeed.
