Off to university
When you’re heading off to university – or back for another year – there are a few essentials you really can’t do without. Think storage baskets for clothes and personal items, cleaning products to tackle any student house grime and some essential kitchen gadgets that make cooking up a storm a simple pleasure.
At Lakeland, we’ve got everything you need to keep your student house in order so you can spend your time studying and enjoying the best of university life.
Keeping your clothes fresh
It might be a cliché, but plenty of students head off to university for the first time with little to no knowledge of washing, how to dry clothes or ironing. Yes, you might present huge bags of washing every time you visit home, but you are going to have to do some things yourself.
Luckily at Lakeland you’ll find clothes steamers to get rid of those creases without the need of an iron, travel irons that can be stored in your room and heated clothes dryers and airers that can dry your clothes whatever the weather. Remember drying clothes on a radiator can crease them, cause them to not dry properly and make your room damp – not what you want in your student house.
You’ll also find pegs to dry your clothes outside, hangers to keep things neat and crease free and clothes bags to ensure all your essentials are stored in a nice orderly manner.
Cooking up a storm with your essential kitchen accessories
Whether you’ve already got some skills in the kitchen, are considering applying to MasterChef, or are a complete novice there are some absolute essentials you’ll need in your uni kitchen.
A slow cooker is perfect and it’s ideal for curries, a casserole with perfectly tender meat, or some flavoursome veggies. With three simple settings, it’s a case of putting your ingredients into the cooker and letting it work its magic – filling your home with delicious aromas as you relax.
For some more kitchen hacks that will have your friends in awe at your cooking prowess, choose from our wooden toast tongs, Lakeland Toastabags for perfect toasted sandwiches, grills, electric cookers, and roasting tins and pans.
Making sure your home is spick and span
Cleaning might not necessarily be top of your agenda as a student, but it’s super important. There’s those cleaning inspections in halls to think of and your deposit to get back from your student rental. Plus, it’s always great to be in a lovely clean environment.
At Lakeland, you’ll find all your essential student cleaning accessories. Choose from mould remover spray, odour absorbing gel, odour eliminating candles, bathroom cleaner and the all-important stain remover. Who said a uni house has to be dirty and dingy? Not if you ask us!
University is one of the best times of your life. You’ll meet new friends, learn about the world and live on your own for the first time. And when you’re equipped with storage baskets, cleaning essentials, and everything you need to keep your wardrobe looking fresh, you’ll be ready to deal with whatever university life throws your way.
