Our family practically lives in the car - which is fine until there's a serious spillage in the back caused by a minor. What's the best thing for cleaning up kiddie car messes?

The Hoover Handy Wet & Dry Turbo is a mini-vac with a difference. Not only can it suck up dry disasters - such as spilled sugar and spice, and all things nice - it can also work on wet spillages, too. So it's great for cleaning up spilled milk before it goes sour and begins to stink the car out.

What other features does it boast?

This minivac comes with a Turbo button for extra sucking power. There are also two attachable nozzles for fine-tuning your sucking power and a mains charger.

How much?

The Hoover Handy Wet & Dry Turbo sells for around £25. For stockist information, call 01685 721222. Alternatively, visit the Hoover website at Hoover.
