The new Rapide Ultra 2 carpet cleaner from leading UK floor care brand Vax, is able to achieve spotless carpets in just 20 minutes, with its deep cleaning, quick drying technologies.

An average front room takes just 20 minutes to wash, and is dry enough to walk on again within an hour or two.

Cleaning your carpets can seem like an enormous job that you never quite have time to do. Therefore it’s no real surprise that recent research by Vax, revealed that over half of UK parents let their kids crawl and play on carpets that are never washed.*

The Rapide Ultra 2 carpet cleaner takes all the hassle out of washing, so you can be confident your carpets look and smell as clean as your clothes, every day.

• Its flexible hose and wash tool make it easy to clean your stairs, upholstery and even your car seats.

• For really stubborn spots, there’s also a pre-treatment kit to break down dirt and stains before you wash.

• Watch the demonstration video at www.vax.co.uk/about/videogallery.php?video=rapide_ultra2 to see how quick and easy it is for yourself.

Why wash your carpets?
A clean carpet is not just about how it looks; even if it’s vacuumed daily and looks spotless on the surface, your carpet can still become a breeding ground for dust mites, pollen, bacteria and mould.

They get trapped between its fibres and thrive in the warm, humid conditions of our double glazed, centrally heated homes. Regular washing helps keep these unwanted houseguests at bay, so your home is a healthier place for you and your family.

The W90-RU-P Rapide Ultra 2 is available from major retailers for RRP £279.99 and includes a 2 year guarantee.

Bosch has launched a new premium food mixer to enable home bakers to perk up their baking and master the mixing process.

The white/anthracite (MUM52120GB) mixer will grace any kitchen with its extra smart compact design and offers extra power and intelligent design to make the job quicker, easier and better.

• The enhanced, 700W motor now supplies the power to mix heavy pasta and bread doughs with ease, but also provides optimum speed for cream, egg whites or biscuit doughs, with four drive speeds plus a pulse setting.

• Bosch’s dynamic new “MultiMotion Drive” boasts a 3.9 litre stainless steel bowl, making it more thorough than ever before.

• A smart gear system sweeps the specially designed beaters in three directions as it mixes, ensuring every scrap of the ingredients is mixed in and the bowl wall is left clean, enabling extra thorough mixing.

“This was one of the things customers always remarked on: that mixers often left a lot of mixture on the bowl walls that had to be manually scraped-in,” commented Bosch consumer products sales director, Ian Nicholson.

“Our engineers decided to find a solution and came up with a clever redesign of the beaters, bowl and gearing so every bit of the mixture was folded in and the resulting mix beautifully consistent: no lumps!”

An EasyArmLift system allows the swivel arm to move up or down, making tool changes and alteration to the blender easy and bowl removal conveniently simple.

This ultra-powerful, ultra-versatile mixer comes with a blender unit and nine other attachments for mixing, beating, stirring, grating, whisking, shredding and slicing. There’s an generous 1.25 litre liquidiser and both it and the main bowl benefit from a see-through lid.

But the MUM52120GB, comes with even more:

• An accessory bag for keeping mixing and disc tools together, an interactive recipe DVD to help put the mixer through its paces.

• A wide range of optional accessories are available, such as overload protection and a safety shut-off, a cable compartment for neatness and suction feet for steady working. All the accessories are dishwater safe. RRP £249.99.
