'The ultimate vacuum cleaner storage solution is one that keeps it out of sight but requires zero effort to get it out to use it,' recommends Mimi.
It's worth exploring what this means for you by assessing the layout of your home and your cleaning routine. If you tend to use your vacuum cleaner on a daily basis for cleaning up the kitchen after messy kids dinner times, then you'll want to store a vacuum in a kitchen or utility room cupboard.
If you have a corded vacuum that you use specifically for deep cleans in bedrooms and upstairs landings, however, you might want to store it in a boiler cupboard or wardrobe. This way, it prevents the amount of work involved in getting your vacuum out for use, making cleaning that little bit easier.
Here are Mimi's top storage spots for a vacuum:
'A utility room with the option to hang a vacuum or even just have its own floor space is number one.'
'Alternatively, a purpose-built or adapted cupboard, with a wall-mounted hanger for accessories. Consider, taking a shelf out of an existing cupboard if you don’t have a cupboard large enough,' she advises.
