Your summer cleaning checklist, the eco way

1. Refresh outdoor furniture

Patio chairs and tables collect grime, dust and mildew after months of storage or weather exposure.

Eco tip: Use Delphis Eco Multi-Purpose Cleaner in a spray bottle and scrub with a soft brush or cloth. It cuts through dirt, while being gentle on wood, metal and plastic.

Hack: Use a microfibre cloth to wipe down after rinsing to speed up drying and avoid streaks.

2. Deep clean the BBQ grill

Charred food and grease build up fast during summer cookouts.

Eco tip: After the grill cools, use Delphis Eco Heavy Duty Degreaser to cut through baked-on grease. It’s readily biodegradable and tough on residue, without releasing toxic fumes.

Hack: Soak grill grates in warm water with degreaser for 15 minutes - no heavy scrubbing needed.

3. Wash down garden toys & play equipment

Kids’ toys get sticky, dirty and covered in who-knows-what.

Eco tip: Use Delphis Eco Anti-Bacterial Sanitiser - it’s safe for surfaces that kids touch and effectively eliminates germs, without harsh disinfectants.

Hack: Clean smaller toys in batches using a bucket system: soak, rinse, air dry.

4. Clean windows & glass doors

Summer sun is great - until it highlights every smudge and streak on your windows.

Eco tip: Use the Delphis Eco Glass & Stainless Steel Cleaner for a streak-free shine. It’s plant-based, fast-drying and safe on mirrors, windows and glass tabletops.

Hack: Wipe with a microfibre cloth for a gleam without lint.

5. Revive your fridge (Summer snack overload!)

From ice cream drips to forgotten picnic leftovers, your fridge needs a freshen-up.

Eco tip: Use Delphis Eco Kitchen Sanitiser - it’s food-safe, non-toxic and perfect for wiping shelves and drawers.

Hack: Use Multi-Surface Polish to make it gleam like new.

6. Sort the shed or garage

Garden tools, sports gear and seasonal items often end up in chaotic piles.

Eco tip: Use the Multi-Purpose Cleaner to wipe down tools and surfaces. The 100% recycled bottles make it a sustainable choice for outdoor spaces too.

Hack: Create three zones: Keep, donate and recycle. Clear out fast and stay organised.

7. Freshen-up soft furnishings

Cushions, rugs and throws collect dust and allergens.

Eco tip: Spot-treat any stains with Delphis Eco Multi-Purpose Cleaner , which is safe on fabrics and highly effective at lifting spills and marks.

Hack: Delphis Eco Scented Air Neutraliser can be used on soft furnishings like sofas with a bit of care !

Here’s how to do it safely:

• Lightly mist from a distance of around 30cm

• Avoid soaking the fabric - just a gentle spray is enough to refresh the area

• Always test first in a small, hidden spot to check for any discolouration or adverse reaction

• Avoid spraying onto silk, velvet, or other delicate fabrics unless you're certain it's safe

It’s a great option for freshening up a room without harsh chemicals, thanks to its eco-friendly and non-toxic formulation.

8. Restore patios and stone paths

Moss, algae and grime can make patios and stone paths slippery and dull.

Eco tip: Use Delphis Eco Patio & Stone Cleaner ; formulated to lift organic build-up without using bleach or acids that can harm plants and wildlife. Just dilute, apply, scrub with a stiff brush and rinse.

Hack: Clean in the early morning or evening - cooler temperatures prevent the cleaner from evaporating too quickly, giving it more time to work effectively.
