Dunelm's portable table top heater is ideal for outdoor entertaining this summer
There's nothing better than a sunny day spent in the garden, but when the sun goes in and the temperatures drop you need something to keep you warm. Whilst patio heaters and fire pits are a great option for getting maximum heat, they also require quite a bit of fuel or electricity to run, whilst fire pits can also leave you with messy clean ups afterwards.
For something super handy and easy to use that'll take the chill off, Dunelm's Cosiscoop Fire Lantern Table Top Heater is a great option. Priced at £99, the table top heater can be whipped out the moment the temperatures fall, giving you instant warmth without needing any setting up or assembling.
Thanks to its size and portable design, it's easy enough to take with you anywhere. Whether you want to bring it out at the end of an al fresco dinner party or pack it when you head off camping or to a festival, it offers an instant boost of warmth without needing anything extra to use it.
The Table Top Heater is safe to be used on wooden decking or placed on a table top, and it's even suitable for indoor use too, so you can add a little extra warmth and atmosphere to a cosy gathering. Powered by a 190g gas cartridge, it has a weather resistant design and lasts for up to six hours.
Although the lantern-style design makes it easy to transport, if you prefer something chicer this £39.99 JHY DESIGN Rectangular Glass Tabletop Fireplace on Amazon is a great alternative. It has a simple rectangular glass design, and is powered by 'clean burning' bio ethanol, which means there's no smoke, soot or embers.
You can also use it both indoors and outdoors, and it makes a great statement centrepiece for your table. It's also slightly larger than Dunelm's version, which measures 30cm high and 16 x 16 cm wide and long, with the Amazon version measuring 35cm high and 15 x 15cm at the base.
If you want to create some clever mood lighting outdoors whilst still keeping warm, the Shadow Diffusion 2.1Kw Table Top Heater looks just like a table lamp, but has the added benefit of emitting heat via its hidden double circular infrared lamp. It also currently has £80 off, slashing the price from £170.99 to £89.99.
If you want to pick up Dunelm's Cosiscoop Fire Lantern Table Top Heater, though, you can get it for £99 now.

The Dunelm pendant light requires standard (GLS) bulbs with a maximum wattage of 13W, and can be cleaned by wiping it with a soft cloth, reports Birmingham Live. An alternative option is the iDEGU Set of 2 Retro Pendant Ceiling Lights from Amazon, priced at £31.56.

Mrs Hinch fans share 55p item to get mouldy washing machine drawers sparkling again
The cleaning experts fans have shared a cheap, effective way to make your machine look new again. Washing machines are designed to clean clothes, but they also need regular scrubbing to stay fresh themselves. This is particularly true of the detergent drawer. Because the drawers are used frequently, softener and detergent can cause mould to build up, making them look grubby. The narrow drawers are also hard to clean, so they are often left for long periods of time. There are cleaning products on the market that promise to clean your drawers in seconds. However, these can be pricey and often not very reliable. So, what is the best way to get your washing machine drawer sparkling clean? Fans of cleaning guru Mrs Hinch —real name Sophie Hinchliffe—believe the process is simple and involves a cheap household item that you probably already have in your kitchen cupboards. Posting on the Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips Facebook group, one person asked recently: 'Has anybody got any suggestions on how to get rid of black mould in the washing machine drawer?' And cleaning fans were quick to respond, with several people telling the woman to remove the drawer, soak it in a bowl of water, and use a washing-up liquid, which can be bought for as little as 55p from Asda. One person said: 'Washing up liquid is great for this, simple and so effective.' For the best results, Mrs Hinch fans recommend cleaning the drawer after every use, so that mould doesn't have the chance to build up. There are many reasons why mould may grow in the washing machine drawer, including excess detergent, which can cause soap scum that can get caught and turn into mould. Homewares deal of the week Looking to beat the heat as temperatures continue to rise? Then look no further than Dunelm's White Rechargeable USB Desk Fan that has an almost perfect five star rating for its small, yet mighty, design that means it works "even on the lowest setting." Easy to connect via a USB cable that can be connected to laptops and computers, this desk fan is perfect for those who find themselves working from home on these sweaty, humid summer days. However, it doesn't need to remain plugged-in, as the rechargeable element and compact six-inch design means it can be taken anywhere, even placed on a bedside table overnight on summer nights thanks to its "quiet" operation. It's finished with four speed settings to choose from and an adjustable angle that can help direct the cool breeze where it is needed, unlike other models that can sometimes be stuck in one place. As for Dunelm's own mini desk fan, it has received an impressive 4.8 rating from impressed shoppers who say that, despite its size, it is "surprisingly powerful" and "a literal life-saver" during this kind of weather. One five-star review read: "Fantastic fan, surprisingly powerful, quiet, lasts for quite a long time when charged, very hard to find a decent small rechargeable fan but this is it, will be buying more!" Beat the heat with Dunelm's White Rechargeable USB Desk Fan that costs just £25. Washing at temperatures below 40 degrees regularly can also leave behind some residue, which facilitates the growth of mould and dirt. Meanwhile, other cleaning fans recommended using white vinegar instead of washing up liquid. The product is known for its versatility in tackling a variety of cleaning jobs. It can dissolve hard water and cut through grime, making it ideal for washing machine drawers. And for another alternative, some commenters in the same Facebook group suggested putting the drawer in the dishwasher if you have one or soaking it in water with a dishwasher tablet.

Sarah said: 'The best way to clean your washing machine seal is to run a hot wash cycle.' The expert added that there are some household products that you can use to clean your washing machine. She added: 'For example, you can spray the washing machine drum with white vinegar and wipe it all around the drum with a clean cloth. "This will help to get rid of residues and hard water stains and can even lift away grease easily."

Gardeners warned of 'ticking time bomb' and told to act now
Householder should be aware of the issue before it's too late. Householders are being warned of a 'ticking time bomb' which may be growing in your garden. According to experts at PropertyMarket, if you have Japanese Knotweed near your home, you should act now. The pesky plant has a deceivingly harmless appearance, but if left undetected, it can have costly impacts on your property. During the summer months, the East Asian plant grows rapidly, usually by around 10cm per day, causing some serious damage along the way. It is easy to mistake this plant as a pleasant addition to your garden, but it is important to address its presence as a priority. As well as growing rapidly, it can reach heights of around three metres and burrows deep underground. Japanese Knotweed can force its way through expansion joints in concrete, cavity walls, weaknesses in the damaged mortar between paving slabs or bricks, and it can also hinder drains and sewers. If left unaddressed, it can also potentially cause substantial structural damage, especially to properties that are more vulnerable, such as character homes. The plant, described by the PropertyMarket experts as a "ticking time bomb", reportedly causes over £170million in damages to properties each year. It can be helpful to seek expert advice to help plan an effective treatment regime for Japanese Knotweed and to help minimise any potential return. If you haven't heard about Japanese Knotweed or don't know what it looks like, then it is very easy to miss it in your garden. "This plant has various growth stages throughout the year, which can make it hard to identify. In the spring, it will have red or purple asparagus-type shoots, quickly transforming into green or bamboo-like stems, but then in the early summer, it is usually fully grown at three metres high. By this time of year, the plant flowers will produce clusters of spiky stems in tiny creamy-white flowers. The leaves are luscious green and show their unique flat, shovel, or heart-shaped appearance. During the late autumn and winter, the leaves drop, and the canes become dark brown. The Japanese knotweed then remains dormant during the winter months before coming back to life in spring. The correct treatment will depend on a variety of factors. However, there are normally two methods to beat the issue: herbicide treatment or physical removal through excavation. A severe Japanese Knotweed infestation can make your home significantly harder to sell and can lower the value of your property. Buyers may look to renegotiate the initial offer for any property, if they know they will need to spend time and money eradicating any of the plant.

However, most UK lenders will still potentially lend to consumers if they can feel assured that the problem can be treated effectively. Michael Holden, a former NAEA Propertymark president, said: 'When buying a home, the key issue is to make sure that you ask the vendor and the estate agent as to whether the property has had any present or historic issues with Japanese Knotweed or invasive plant species generally. "Bamboo, for example is now becoming more of a concern. Where there are potential issues, it is advisable that a specialist survey is undertaken to identify invasive plants in the property's garden and any other matters that would require further investigation.'
