Finally, in 2012, I got a steamer for kitchen and bathroom floors. No more getting down on hands and knees - you don't need that at 75! I've had a go at the sofa too, but it may need another go.
And then I thought, why do I have to lug the vacuum cleaner upstairs? And my next buy was a wonderful cordless one, highly recommended by Which? It now hangs in its bracket where the broom used to be - so handy and quick to use.
I'd love to know what other Grans did in 2020 to make housework easier for themselves.
