Spring is in the air — and with it comes the perfect excuse to roll up your sleeves, tackle the clutter, and breathe new life into your home. Whether you’re a Marie Kondo devotee or a shove-it-in-a-drawer type, these spring-cleaning essentials will help you whip your space into shape with ease.  

Let’s tidy up, shall we? 

Microfibre Cloths: The Unsung Heroes 

If there’s one thing you need in your cleaning arsenal, it’s microfibre cloths. These little wonders pick up dust, grime and fingerprints without leaving streaks behind. Use them on windows, mirrors countertops — you name it. Plus, they’re washable and reusable, which means they’re good for your wallet and the planet. 

Baking Soda: Your Cleaning MVP 

Move over, pricey cleaning sprays — baking soda is the ultimate multitasker. Use it to deodorise carpets, scrub sinks and even freshen up your fridge. For stubborn stains, mix it with white vinegar for a fizzy reaction that feels like a science experiment (but works like magic). 

Caddies Make Cleaning a Breeze 

A cleaning caddy is a game-changer. Keep all your essentials — sprays, clothes, brushes and gloves — in one place and carry them from room to room like a pro. It saves time, keeps you organised, and might even make you feel a bit like a cleaning superhero. 

Decluttering Supplies: Bags and Boxes 

No spring clean is complete without a proper decluttering session. Grab some sturdy bin bags for rubbish and cardboard boxes for items to donate.  

Pro Tip: Sort items into three categories — keep, toss and donate — to speed up the process and avoid decision fatigue. 

Glass Spray Bottles: Eco-Friendly and Stylish

Ditch single-use plastics and opt for glass spray bottles filled with homemade cleaning solutions. They’re chic, durable and better for the environment. Fill them with mixtures like water and white vinegar or your favourite essential oils for an eco-friendly clean that smells amazing. 

Extendable Dusters for Hard-to-Reach Spots 

Honestly, those ceiling corners and light fixtures don’t clean themselves. An extendable duster is perfect for tackling cobwebs, dust and anything else lurking in those high-up nooks. Bonus points if it’s washable! 

Storage Solutions for Post-Cleaning Zen 

After the cleaning frenzy, maintaining order is key. Invest in storage boxes, wardrobe organisers and hooks to keep everything in its place. A clean home is lovely, but an organised one? Now, that’s next-level satisfaction. 

Scented Candles and Fresh Flowers 

Once the hard work is done, reward yourself with the finishing touches. Light a scented candle or place fresh flowers around the house to add a welcoming vibe. You’ve earned it — and nothing says “spring” like a house that smells divine. 

Spring Into a Cleaner, Happier Space

I have used the storage at Cheltenham for nearly two years now and have always been glad I made the change from a large facility in Kingsditch. I recall leaving a glowing review of Casey and his team when I first took on the unit. Just yesterday I left a less than complimentary review but have discovered my frustration at the time was due to misleading info I obtained over the Internet and nothing to do with Wigwam. So that review is withdrawn and I continue to recommend Wigwam as a convenient town centre facility, well run and utilising a high tech, easy to use entry system.

I can no longer recommend this storage facility after being a customer here for a few weeks. The lift to the second floor has been broken for some time, and this is a serious problem - the stairs are too narrow to get anything remotely large up to your unit, which makes storing bigger items essentially impossible. For me, that defeated the main purpose of renting a locker here.

On top of that, the dolly trolleys are meant to be returned to a designated point after use, but in practice no one does this, so you end up hunting for one. Most of the time they’re left in a separate building I don’t have access to, meaning I have to walk around 50m through corridors and up stairs carrying my belongings just to reach my unit. I reported this to reception and was told they’d return the trolleys to the proper point, but nothing has changed.

Parking is another issue - the boxing gym attached to the building also uses the car park, so it often feels crowded.

Only use this facility if you’re desperate. Otherwise, I’d look elsewhere.

Fantastic idea to use an app to gain entry. Once set up it's so easy to use and saves faffing around with keys and security fobs. My first visit was a revelation and is a definite encouragement to keep going back.
Well done Wigwam!!

Got a small lock up for short term use - getting set up was quick and easy. Introductory offer is also great.
All the team we've dealt with at Wigwam have provided fantastic customer service with some lovely personal touches. Our storage unit and the surrounding site is clean, well maintained and good value for money. I would definitely recommend.
