A survey by cult cleaning company Somerset-based Sarah Smith has revealed some startling items that have been turned up in a spring clean. Respondents reported discovering dead mice, a false hand, a hibernating hedgehog, £60 in coins from one favourite armchair alone, a bat, some spare sets of false teeth and a live partridge.

Sarah Smith CEO Clive Birnie says: "We were extremely surprised at some of the things that our respondents discovered. Under the sofa and behind the fridge were the most common places to find peculiar objects, with the dog’s bed coming a close second. The most we were expecting was loose change and Lego. There were lots of nice finds like engagement rings and long lost photographs, as well as some more suspect discoveries like pants and even the key to a set of handcuffs."
