Excerpt: "If you’re not hands-on, another solution is to find a local repair cafe.

"There are more than 140 in the UK.

"Professional organiser Janine McDonald, 54, who runs Clear The Clutter Now, visited her local branch in Boothstown, near Manchester, with her 14-year-old Dyson DC24.

"'The motor had gone and it would have cost more than £100 to send it to Dyson to fix.

"'I fixed part of it by watching YouTube but it still wasn’t right, so I took it to my local repair cafe.'"
