Vamoosh Washing Machine Cleaner Sparkling Lemon
Entry summary
Vamoosh® Washing Machine Cleaner is the first and only washing machine cleaner to dissolve hair. The unique patented hair dissolving technology effectively removes clogged up hair from your washing machine, protecting it and preventing it from blockages and bad performance. Our Sparkling Lemon fragrance offers that citrus feeling of a ‘job well done’ often associated with cleaning and leaves the machine sparkling and smelling fresh.
Hair fibre (Keratin) doesn’t dissolve in water. However, Vamoosh® breaks up Keratin by using active oxygen to break down the S-S bond (disulphide bond). The breaking of the S-S bond splits up the hair into smaller pieces and ultimately dissolves it.
With its unique 6-in-1 action, it prevents blockages, eliminates limescale and bad odours, kills 99.9% of bacteria, removes dirt/detergent residue and dissolves hair. There is no other product on the market which combines all 6 benefits in one washing machine cleaner.

Henry, job done.
Entry summary
If we asked you to picture a celebrity, there are bound to be lots that would spring to mind. But we’d wager the smiling face of a Henry vacuum wouldn’t be one of them. Alas, according to recent YouGov surveys, Henry, more accustomed to cleaning floorboards than treading them, is more famous in the UK than some of today’s biggest stars, including Ryan Reynolds, Zac Efron and Zendaya.
Loved by 1 in 4 UK homes and made just down the road in Chard, Somerset, there’s just something about Henry. So while “Icon”, “Hero” and “Legend” probably aren’t words you’d associate with a household appliance, for the UK’s best-selling vacuum, that’s just how he rolls. All 16 million of them, to be precise.
As for the secret behind his success, he keeps that under his bowler hat. Quite literally. Beneath his iconic design, Henry is built to last (or as one customer puts it, “Tractor build quality, Ferrari performance”). Tried and trusted with over 40 years in the business, he won’t let you down. After all, everyone deserves a vacuum cleaner that is great value, reliable, powerful, no-nonsense and gets the job done. Plain and simple, but with a smile, naturally.

"Mental Health Matters" by @mrs_bright_sparkle2018
Entry summary
I am passionate about mental health both professionally and personally and in Mental Health Awareness month I decided to use my content to promote mental health awareness.
This includes being open and honest about my own experiences of struggling with mental health.
This also includes sharing positive coping mechanisms and techniques that have helped me in my journey.
As a part of raising awareness, it included sharing other useful information and charities who support mental health issues and highlight mental health difficulties and how it is important to take care of yourself and well as checking in on those around you.
It includes advice, useful information and positive affirmations and posts that may reach someone who is struggling letting them know that they are not alone.
It can be difficult to open up about struggling with mental health as there is still a stigma around mental health issues and it is time to stamp out the stigma and let people know that it is good to talk.
If this campaign has helped one person to talk, to access some support or benefit from the advice it has served a good purpose.
"Mental Health Monday" by @clean2keepsane
Entry summary
Every Monday since 2021, I post a mental health Monday check in which consists of 7 different coloured hearts, and people can then comment with the coloured heart that is most fitting to how they are feeling at that time.
I do this because I have suffered with mental health myself, as well as many of my friends and family. There is still such a stigma surrounding mental health, people still feel embarrassed about it and they don't know how people are doing to react. I am here trying to break down those walls and to show people that it is OK to speak freely about how they are feeling, that other people are feeling the way they are, that people are not alone. I am a small fish in a big pond, but I am a huge advocate for mental health and I will talk about it for as along as I can! It's scary, it's lonely, it's confusing, it's a number of different emotions all rolled into one, but I am here to talk for whatever you need, and whenever you need.

Following a conversation 4 years ago, when a school mum commented she was finding it expensive trying to be 'more eco' I knew I had to help. As a family, we have been living as sustainably as possible for many years so I knew I could help others. I set up ECO for ALL to support others in being as eco-friendly as possible. My approach is to share Realistic, Affordable, Manageable and Practical tips through my RAMP up your Sustainability program.
I'm a big believer in small changes that build up and I've seen so much success with my clients in this approach. Throughout the program we tackle everything from chemicals in the home, plastic packaging and waste reduction through to clothes shopping and recycling. My clients also have me on hand as their personal eco shopper throughout the program - my unique service that also helps them gain the skills and knowledge for themselves going forward.
My biggest success stories are a lady that is saving £15 each week on her food shopping following my Reducing Food Waste session and another client who has halved the amount of laundry following the Cleaning and Laundry session.

Boss it Rapid Dryer Ball
Entry summary
The innovative Boss It™ Rapid-Dryer Ball was launched in October 2023 after an identified gap in the market for a dryer ball that could significantly save time and energy. The Rapid-Dryer Ball uses patented HeatBounce™ Technology, which reflects heat and redistributes it around the dryer drum.
The Rapid-Dryer Ball is designed to reflect heat constantly throughout the drum, distributing heat to areas of the dryer that don’t reach optimum temperature. This product reduces drying time and decreases energy consumption by up to 40%. So, it is an ideal solution for frequent tumble dryer users and those worried about energy costs.

Henry, job done.
Entry summary
If we asked you to picture a celebrity, there are bound to be lots that would spring to mind. But we’d wager the smiling face of a Henry vacuum wouldn’t be one of them. Alas, according to recent YouGov surveys, Henry, more accustomed to cleaning floorboards than treading them, is more famous in the UK than some of today’s biggest stars, including Ryan Reynolds, Zac Efron and Zendaya.
Loved by 1 in 4 UK homes and made just down the road in Chard, Somerset, there’s just something about Henry. So while “Icon”, “Hero” and “Legend” probably aren’t words you’d associate with a household appliance, for the UK’s best-selling vacuum, that’s just how he rolls. All 16 million of them, to be precise.
As for the secret behind his success, he keeps that under his bowler hat. Quite literally. Beneath his iconic design, Henry is built to last (or as one customer puts it, “Tractor build quality, Ferrari performance”). Tried and trusted with over 40 years in the business, he won’t let you down. After all, everyone deserves a vacuum cleaner that is great value, reliable, powerful, no-nonsense and gets the job done. Plain and simple, but with a smile, naturally.

For the Love of Tidying - an Organiser on a mission to allow access to decluttering and organising support for all!
Entry summary
In my role as a Professional Organiser, I strive to empower clients through personalised, 1:1 sessions. My priority is to listen, building rapport and understanding them individually, I aim to smash their decluttering overwhelm by breaking it into manageable steps. My sessions not only transform homes but also my clients lives, instilling confidence and clarity for ongoing progress.

Getting Clear, Letting Go and Moving on: Empowering Change By Understanding the Psychology of Clutter and Getting into Action by Helen Sanderson
Entry summary
I help people achieve significant breakthroughs by addressing both the physical and psychological aspects of clutter. Decluttering goes beyond tidying up; it involves understanding the deep connection between our spaces and mindsets. Using my background as a psychotherapist alongside my professional organising skills, I assist clients in uncovering the psychological reasons behind their clutter whilst tackling the clutter itself, empowering them to shift their thinking and behaviour.
My method uses a gardening metaphor, focusing on weeding, planting, and maintenance stages, encapsulated in a six-step process. I provide follow-up coaching to ensure sustainable habits and offer bursaries to support clients with limited budgets. I am committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse environment, celebrating diversity. My Clutter Shift program makes my services accessible to those restricted by location or budget.
Every 1:1 project starts with a 90-minute consultation to establish a vision, set goals, and identify obstacles. I adhere to ethical standards, ensuring trust, safety, and high-quality service. I promote sustainability and aim for carbon neutrality by 2025. My MSc in Psychotherapy, combined with extensive professional experience, informs my work. My goal is to increase understanding of clutter in order to reduce the associated shame and encourage people to seek support.
Lesley Spellman - the Clutter Fairy and the Declutter Hub
Entry summary
Anyone who struggles with clutter and disorganisation in their home should have the opportunity to be helped by a Professional Organiser (PO). Every PO wants nothing more than to help the people who land in their inbox. But there are two limiting factors - time and money. As a PO, there are only so many hours in the week to work. And as a homeowner there is a finite amount of money to spend.
I have used my skills as an empathetic, non-judgemental and emotionally intelligent woman for 15 years carving out life-changing solutions for my clients and valued every one I’ve worked with, but I always wanted to reach more people.
I’ve nurtured other POs, whether they work for my company or their own, so they too can do the job they love and make their own impact in the world.
And I’ve found a way to reach and help those people that have struggled for years with clutter and yearned for personal help but been limited by finance by branching out online.
Making everyone who works with you, listens to you or watches you feel like you are right there just for them, that’s the real skill.
Sorted!
Entry summary
Since starting my decluttering business in 2016, my passion for supporting others has driven me to transform countless spaces and lives. Initially, I aimed to help SMEs grow, but I quickly found a greater need in people’s homes, particularly among the neurodiverse community. Drawing from my own mental health journey, I understand the profound impact of having support when it feels like there are no other options.
Over the years, I have completed over 1,000 appointments, assisting a diverse range of clients, including young families, those downsizing, the bereaved, and individuals with hoarding behaviours. In 2020, I joined the board of APDO and now serve as its President. This is a voluntary role and allows me to champion the value of professional organising and ensure that support is accessible to anyone in need.
My goal is to inspire, motivate, declutter, and organise as many lives and businesses as possible, turning chaos into calm and empowering clients to lead more organised and fulfilling lives.
Untangled by Tingle
Entry summary
I'm an Autistic ADHDer, disabled single mum with peri-menopause brain fog, that transformed my own life through decluttering 8 years ago (yet still set my kitchen on fire at least once a month). I'm a naturally messy person on a mission to bring the forefront the link between clutter and neurodivergence to remove the shame and judgment of people living in full homes. Working with mainly ND families I understand how their brain works and find real life strategies and systems to ensure that once decluttered, they stay decluttered, and work with their barriers such as social anxiety, rather than pretend they don't exist. I'm a member of APDO, and I work with social services and private clients to gain happy outcomes for all. I am also prolific in my online work through my communities, Amazon Best selling Planner and my podcast giving my community the practical tips and emotional support they need to change their homes without burn out or feeling a failure - so they can be clean and tidy!
