Now, there has certainly been plenty of the wet stuff falling from the sky, which will help to naturally clean and get rid of dust and debris. However, for those areas that still require a good scrubbing, enter the pressure washer.

We are a fruitful office at eSpares. Yes, fruitful. At the beginning of each week a delectable basket of fresh fruit is delivered for all employees to share and enjoy. With each basket purchase, Fruitful Office donates to the planting of one fruit tree in Africa by supporting the planting fruit trees in Africa campaign. It’s a pretty sound little campaign and were happy to be helping to such a great cause. Not to mention we also get delicious, healthy snacks which make us all the more prepared, energised and excited about hinges, shelves, drawers, door seals and the like!

Top ‘o the day to y’all. As you may have expected, you might experience delays to any orders placed just before, after or during the Olympics and Paralympics. To make sure were all ‘in the know’ about what to expect, have a look at the following service updates from the eSpares carriers, Royal Mail and DPD. Pretty impressive to think that both companies have been planning for over a year now to accommodate and cause as little disruption as possible.

It’s no secret that problems can arise if an underwire comes loose from its bra housing in the washing machine. If you’re lucky enough to find this still in the drum, good going. However, more often than not when these come out they make their way between the inner drum and outer tub. Now, this can go unnoticed for quite some time and can also inevitably cause serious damage to the washing machine – especially if you consider that a lot of washing machines now have plastic outer tubs. It can puncture a hole in the outer tub, scrape the drum, pierce the sump hose causing a leak, catch and tear other items of clothing, or even find its way to the pump and physically jam the pump impellor.

Did you know leaving your appliances on ‘standby’ can actually cost you up to an extra £86/ year? A recent survey advised that appliances left on ‘standby’ mode account for 9-16% of the average user’s household electricity bill. The worst offenders are televisions, satellite boxes and other audio/video equipment, but devices such as mobile phones, computers and even washing machines and dishwashers are increasingly being left in ‘standby’ mode.
