Prepare for the ultimate summer party with Primeur

Prepare for the ultimate summer party with Primeur

The sun has finally made an appearance, we scored an extra Bank Holiday in May and could be set for a scorcher again this summer. How many more reasons do we need to celebrate? After all that rain and gloom at the start of the year, your garden may need a little pick me up before you start entertaining but, fear not because, with MultyDeck™ from Primeur, it has never been so quick and easy to get your outside space primed for the ultimate summer party!

A flexible solution for any space
Outdoor spaces come in all shapes and sizes and the beauty of MultyDeck™ is that it can be used to transform almost any area. Whether you’re looking to zone off an area in a large garden, spruce up a patio or balcony or even organise unsightly items in the garden by fitting a bin tidy, MultyDeck™ makes decking installation an absolute breeze.

In fact, this incredible innovation is so quick and easy, you can lay a deck in a matter of minutes, which might be just the rapid renovation you need if you want the job done in time for a special occasion or just to make the most of the fine weather while it’s here. Versatility at its very best, MultyDeck™ affords you far greater spontaneity when it comes to revamping your outdoor flooring – a project that would typically take far longer to complete and require significantly more advance planning.

Here today, gone tomorrow
Ideal for homeowners or renters alike, MultyDeck™ looks stunning and is built to last for years once laid but is also a transportable solution that can be taken up again with no fuss and can simply move with you to a new property. Great news for ‘Generation Rent’ but also perfect for events and parties if you don’t want the additional decked flooring to be a permanent fixture.

Picture the ultimate dancefloor, gorgeous seating areas for extra guests or even a sensational setting for a pop-up garden bar – all laid in minutes for the event and then taken up just as quickly when you the party is over and you want to return your outdoor space to normal. MultyDeck™ is re-usable and lightweight, so extremely easy to relocate and store if not in use full time. This unique decking solution works wonders if you want to create a pathway to add interest to your garden or safely lead revellers around the space during your summer bash. Did we mention it also provides the perfect base for a hot tubs if you own or plan to hire one for partygoers to take a dip.

No DIY skills needed
If that insta-worthy garden or balcony – with chic furniture sat atop beautiful wooden decking – seems out of reach because you’d need to get pricey professionals in, think again! With MultyDeck™ you can afford to dream a little bigger because no DIY skills or specialist equipment are needed to install, meaning you can easily create a decked area to be proud of and a space that is a joy to entertain in.

Typically, when laying traditional decking you need to build a wooden framework for the boards to sit on but not with MultyDeck™. Each innovative rubber plate features three channels that wooden decking boards can simply be laid into and secured, providing the perfect base for a robust, quality decked floor or pathway. It may look like a professional built it but your decking will incur a fraction of the cost of getting someone in, freeing up a bit more money for your party budget. It also means you won’t have to wait around for a tradesperson to find an available date in their diary.

Strong and sustainable
The use of recycled rubber means that MultyDeck™ is virtually indestructible, as this durable, eco-friendly material can withstand extreme weather conditions and will not, fade or crack, whatever the temperature. Imagine the added bounce this might give a dancefloor if people are grooving away at your summer do!

The other great this thing about this outstanding sustainable material is that it helps keep scrap tyres out of landfill. Did you know that rubber tyres can take around 80 years to decompose in landfill? With 100,000 new tyres being fitted to vehicles in the UK every day, imagine the waste that generates. MultyDeck™ is just one of the incredible products in Primeur’s Recycled Rubber Garden Range, which also includes Tierra Verde self-watering planters, Eco Way stepping stones, EZ Border garden edging, and Easy Tile interlocking flooring.
MultyDeck™ is available to buy now from Greenfingers.comv and all good stockists.

Typically thought of as being an easy to clean area of the home, hard floors have risen in popularity in recent decades. Globally, hard floors are the most common floor type,2 and research released today by Dyson has uncovered poor cleaning habits that mean hard floors are likely to be harbouring an array of hidden nasties. This comes as 32% of Brits – equating to 21.6 million people in the UK – will use the same dirty mop head for six months or more before replacing it. What’s more, one in 20 also admit to keeping the same mop for a year or longer, and one in 10 think it is acceptable to use the same mop 100 times, spreading dirt around their floors every time they use it. Cross contamination is a primary issue for most common and traditional mopping methods with germs and bacteria further being unknowingly spread around homes as Brits use dirty water to clean floors.3 45% only change the water to new water between rooms, whereas 41% wait even longer until it looks dirty. This could mean that floors are being washed with dirty water, adding more dirt rather than taking it away. Surprisingly, almost one in 10 (9%) even admit to not changing the dirty water at all when mopping. Over a quarter (28%) admit to mopping their floors once a fortnight or less while over half (53%) admit they don’t regularly clean behind appliances and leave dirt to build up for as long as six months at a time. image002.jpg On how to achieve a perfect barefoot clean feel after mopping, Geli Lee, Dyson Engineer and Home Cleaning Expert offers their top tips for eliminating dirt around the home: 1. Create a cleaning schedule to stay on top of dirt build-up. In the last year, there has been a 15% global reduction in the number of people who maintain regular cleaning schedules. 47% of the British public admitted to only being motivated to clean when they spot visible dirt or dust.4 Regular floor cleaning with a wet hard floor cleaner like the Dyson WashG1™ removes more stubborn dirt than vacuuming alone. It is important to have a debris free surface, clear any clutter from the floor or other surfaces. Choose the right machine: Different vacuums are designed for different floor types and home sizes. Some machines will be engineered with hard floors in mind and will struggle on thick pile carpets, for example. Choosing the right machine for your home will make a big difference to the ease and speed with which you’re able to clean your home. Clean your floors ‘little and often’. Washing your floors frequently in areas that receive more foot fall will help to stop dirt building up and getting trodden into your floor. Using a dedicated wet floor cleaner on hard flooring such as the Dyson WashG1 is helpful for this, as the versatile format means it vacuums and washes the floor simultaneously. Cleaning schedules have also become less regimented. In recent years only 41% of people claim to have a regular cleaning schedule, and 60% admit to cleaning reactively; being motivated to clean only when there is visible dirt or dust5. It’s perhaps not surprising, that a fifth of people are still concerned their floors are dirty after they’ve mopped them (22%) and one in four6 feel extremely worried about indoor dust at home. Geli Lee, Dyson Engineer and Home Cleaning Expert reveals why it is important to change the way we mop: “Cleaning your hard floors properly and regularly is important for maintaining a healthy environment around your home. Without a proper cleaning routine, dirt may unknowingly build up and spread around your home. It is evident from our research that current mopping habits mean British households aren’t cleaning their floors as effectively as they should. “From ignoring problem areas where dust and debris build up, cross contamination with dirty water to not replacing mop heads or inconsistent cleaning, current mopping behaviours may be making floors dirtier as opposed to cleaner. Moving away from traditional methods, wet floor cleaners like the Dyson WashG1 simplify the floor cleaning experience and provide a modern efficient and hygienic solution” To help take the guesswork out of mopping, the brand new WashG1 is Dyson’s first dedicated wet floor cleaner that tackles wet and dry debris in one go. Engineered for hygienic cleaning and maintenance, the WashG1 is revolutionising wet floor cleaning, removing the need for multi-products and multi-steps to achieve a barefoot clean feel around the home. To put the product to the test, Dyson have cleaned one of London’s most iconic landmarks The Victoria and Albert Museum. From cleaning the grand marble floors housing the most prestigious exhibits, to cleaning up leftover food in the Gamble Room Cafe, the WashG1 had a dirt busting tour of the museum leaving it spotless. Images can be found here. The WashG1 introduces Dyson’s engineering expertise to cleaning hard floors. With a 1 litre clean-water tank to cover flooring up to 290m2, the Dyson WashG1 uses a combination of hydration, absorption, and extraction technologies to remove wet and dry spills and stains simultaneously. The Dyson WashG1 is available to purchase now from Dyson.co.uk, retailing at £599.99.
