Glad 72 Large Wavetop-Tie Tidy Bags (Fits 35L Bin)

Great quality sturdy rubbish bags. They tide up differently from those that have two handles, and I've come to like the wavetop-tie more. The product claims to be leak proof, and my experience with them, after years of using them, is that this is true in moist cases. I've used these bags also when moving houses as they are perfect and very resistant while holding clothing, linen, cushions and other textiles without them getting stained by the bags colour.

CarSleek 2-Pack Non-Scratch Plastic Scrapers with 8 Blades Replacement

I love this little tool both as a everyday scrapper and as an art tool. I have one these devoted to removing paint from my desktop, small little drops on the floor and other hard surfaces. The manufacturer says that It can be used to remove sticker decals and glue on glass, cook-tops and ovens. I haven't tried this tool on those surfaces so far, so I cannot comment. But the blades are sharper than you think and work well on the surfaces I've tried them on. This scrapper is also a great mark-making tool. Easy to store as it's pretty flat. I love the ergonomic design, as well. I appreciate the complimentary blades.

Kmart Flexible Toilet Brush (Black)

I bought this brush because of the sleek design and flat looks. I thought it would be a great space saver in my small bathroom and the black colour is perfect for the bathroom decor. It's made of silicone and quite flexible, so I thought that it would save me money in the long run. 
 
Yet, it is a matter of looks over practicality. Yes, t looks great, occupies little space and is flexible. However, the flexibility you have to understand it as it bounces a bit on the toilet surface. Most importantly, it doesn't clean as well as traditional brushes do. This is especially noticeable when I use it with my preferred cleaning gel as it doesn't help the gel to foam. That being the case, it doesn't leave the toilet as clean or shiny as a traditional brush does. Therefore, I don't use it as often as the others and, I guess, it will last me longer.

KMART Anko Wet & Dry Hand Vacuum

I bought this after a friend's recommendation. I bought it  and, since then, has become a must in my home office, and I use it all the time.
 
Capacity if about 700 ml, so I use it in small spaces. Mostly around and underneath my desk and working area. I also use it to clean skirt-boards, tiny corners in my bathroom and bedroom. Basically, I use it for anything that I want to clean without having to take out my normal vacuum, which is always a hassle. The amount of water it takes is 120 mls, but I have never used over wet surfaces or to suck liquids. However, my friend uses it with her cat, who is sometimes incontinent, and she says it does the job. 
 
Emptying and cleaning this vacuum is easy, but you'll have to get used to the way the upper body rotates on the lower one. 
 
This vacuum takes a while to charge fully the first time. The instructions say six hours, but I would say it's less than that. It definitely takes less time if the power light is on red and charge it to be green. I have never used this vacuum for more than 10 minutes, so I cannot say how long the battery lasts straight on from fully charged. However, I think this was never designed to replace a normal vacuum or to vacuum the whole house.    
 
The main downsides of this mini vacuum are the noise level, which could definitely be improved, and the retractable tongue, which sometimes looses itself out. 
 
Listen, this might not be the best hand vacuum out there, but it is still great for the price and sucks tons of stuff, from tiny pieces of paper, hair, dust, food crumbs and chunky dirt.
