Repowering coal and other solutions for the climate crisis | Kirsty Gogan, Terra Praxis

Every time someone walks on a carpet, dirt and dust is pushed deeper into the fibres.

Despite its size and weight, the Shark AZ950UKT is enjoyable to use around the home..The power switch and surface setting buttons are all on the handle, making them easy to reach.

Shark has also done a great job at making the various settings and configurations intuitive to use.We do wish it had an adjustable handle though, particularly as it’s an XL upright vacuum.. One of the best features of this Shark is the Powered Lift-Away canister.By detaching the canister, the vacuum becomes much more convenient for cleaning stairs, under furniture, or car interiors.

We really like Shark’s Lift-Away function, as it addresses one of the biggest issues with upright vacuums: a lack of mobility..This function is also great for floor-to-ceiling cleaning when you add the wand or tool.

And, as this is a “Powered” Lift-Away model, the motorised floorheads still work in this mode.. Of course, a corded upright is never going to be as convenient as a cordless vacuum cleaner – particularly as the Shark only has an 8-metre cord length.

This isn’t the shortest we’ve seen, but we expected a wider cleaning radius from an XL model.Doing this allows you to clear your home, giving it a fresh look, yet hang on to your possessions..

It can make the process of moving easier as you can sort items as you go rather than having to stuff boxes the day before moving.. 5.Clean your oven!.

Granted, most buyers won’t open your oven, but they’ll notice how clean it looks and judge the rest of your home.So clean your oven and hint to potential buyers that your home is, indeed, clean and tidy!.
