Light switches are one of the most touched — and least cleaned — surfaces in your home. Over time, they collect fingerprints, grime and bacteria, especially in high-traffic areas like kitchens, bathrooms and hallways. Giving your switches a regular clean keeps them looking good and helps maintain a more hygienic home.

Light globes are easy to forget in a regular cleaning routine—but over time, they collect dust, bugs and grime that can reduce their brightness and efficiency. Cleaning your globes is a quick and simple task that can help extend their lifespan and improve the look and feel of your home.

Lighting plays a crucial role in both the functionality and comfort of your home. But even the most energy-efficient lights won’t perform well — or safely — if they’re not properly maintained. Dusty fittings, flickering globes and worn-out switches don’t just affect visibility. They can also lead to higher energy costs and potential safety hazards.

When you're shopping for appliances, heating, cooling or lighting products, you're not just buying for today — you're investing in the long-term performance and efficiency of your home. That’s where energy labelling systems like MEPS and LCA labels come in.
