1. I must get the vacuum cleaner fixed. The carpets could do with a good clean.
2. The garden’s in a bit of a state. The grass needs cutting.
3. The plug on this iron is loose. The screws need tightening.
4. The front door looks terrible. It could do with a coat of paint.
5. We’ve been here for ten years now. The whole place needs re-decorating.
6. Look at the state of this bath. It could do with a good scrub.
