Recent research by Dyson found three-quarters of UK households now have either all, or some, hard floors. Cheaper underfloor heating means carpets are no longer favoured for their warmth and hard floors are often considered a more hygienic option.
Last month, Dyson launched its first hard-floor cleaner: a £599.99 hybrid vacuum-mop.
