Sadly, the summer holidays are a long distant memory and many of us are struggling to find the momentum needed to propel us through the month. Big things like work, the school run and errands consume our day (and energy), and despite those well-intentioned new year’s resolutions, the idea of doing any kind of hygiene cleaning is more than we can bare. But clean we must, so to brighten your day – after all, everything seems a little lighter when we laugh – here are our favourite cleaning quotes.
