Do you love cleaning? Then keep reading because this is the perfect event for you.
Coming to Leeds later this month is the world's first ever festival dedicated to cleaning, hosted by major household and garden retailer Wilko.
But what does that entail you might ask? The House of Hacks festival is a completely free event taking place on Wednesday 12 October 2022 at Trinity Leeds shopping centre.
There will be guest appearances from a range of cleaning headliners including This Morning’s Queen of Clean, Lynsey Crombie, top tips and demos for hacking cleaning jobs, Instagram photo stations, product giveaways and even a ‘spin to win’ washing machine, where guests can bag themselves a year’s worth of free cleaning products.

As well as helping guests to hack their personal cleaning needs, Wilko will also be asking guests to share their own top tips in exchange for the chance to win cleaning prizes, helping to spread the nation’s housework knowledge even further.
A spokesperson for wilko said: “Google searches for ‘cleaning tips’ are up 200 per cent – and this, coupled with our love of influencers and real life tips, suggests that housework has never been a hotter topic than right now.
“That’s why we decided to host the House of Hacks; the world’s first event devoted to cracking those cleaning jobs and to pooling real families’ solutions for everyday housework.

“We can’t wait to welcome guests to our event and look forward to not only helping them get every job in the home done, but also collecting their ideas so that we can help others too.”
The festival will be taking place from 9am - 4pm and it is completely free, so head on down and you will walk away with a few top tips and maybe even a brand new washing machine.

They've been teasing a second site for some time now but finally the cat is firmly out of the bag as they've announced they'll be bringing Domo to Leeds.
But where might you ask? Well, none other than the scenic location of the Lockside overlooking the canal.
Slotting right in next to BAKE, they're going to be in very good company indeed.

Announcing the exciting news to Instagram, Domo said: "So most of you guessed it right...it’s been a long time coming but Domo 2.0 is finally cooking.
"Here’s a little sneak peek at our week which we’ve mostly spent admiring the views and getting to know the new neighbours …. If you can guess where it is there’s a glass of bubbly on us next time we see you. To be continued ………"
That's all the information we have so far, but we'll keep you in the loop as and when we find out more.
We can't wait to have you here in Leeds Domo, but for now we'll pop round to Sheffield to get our Domo fix and we highly suggest you do too.

Taking place next Friday 23 January, fans of The Traitors are invited to watch the finale which kicks off 9pm in the canteen.
Best part? The tickets are absolutely free and we've no doubt there'll be some banging drink deals on to get the party started.
We’re already searching our wardrobes for an item of clothing that remotely resembles a cloak.
Announcing the news to Instagram, Belgrave said: "The world famous Traitors finale screening is back at Belgrave! In the past we've been graced with the presence of OG Faithful @theomayne1, plus our Clauds has been known to make an appearance (please scroll for evidence)... twists and turns are promised 👀"
So to give this series of The Traitors a proper send off, get yourself to Belgrave Music Hall from 6pm and enjoy a few beverages with like minded fans whilst screaming at the screen as Claudia makes her way into the frame.
Whilst we're on the topic, has anyone got an incredibly glossy black fringed wig we could borrow?
