Cleaning tip #1

For getting rid of caked on limescale from your taps etc. use a solution of neat vinegar. Either apply it with a toothbrush, scrub it around, leave it for a few hours and then rinse, or dowse a piece of kitchen roll in it, using an elastic band attach it to the tap, leave overnight and rinse it off for a brilliant shine! :D

Cleaning tip #2

For cleaning a stained toilet, dissolve 2 Steradent denture tablets in the bowl. Rub inside the toilet bowl with a toilet brush for the large areas and use a toothbrush for the smaller areas. And hey presto - no more icky toilet bowl!

for all you chrome appliances, use windowlene wipes!!! there the biz at shining them like new!!!

For oven trays that are difficult to clean, put biological washing powder on it with boiling water and leave for a few hours...good as new..

hhmmmm think I'll make a good house wifey with all these tips.. :lol: :wink:

to remove chewing gum that has hardened into cloth pop the item in the freezer leave until hard/frozen and remove - the chewing gum should come away from the material easily :D

Also to clean your hob and give it a good-as-new sparkly look dip some kitchen roll into baby oil (not too much) and apply - it will come up good as new.

hi

Clean Your Microwave

Easiest way to clean the inside of your microwave, I've found, is to put a bowl of water in there (with or withour a squirt of lemon) and microwave it for a few minutes. The steam lifts all the dirt so it should just wipe off easily with a piece of kitchen roll.

I had a problem with stains in my sink, mainly tea stains.
Rub some washing powder round the sink with a damp cloth or sponge.
All shiny & sparkly again!

for cleaning George Forman(sp) grills. Heat them up for 1 min and rub clean with hot soapy water. Rinse with clean(not soapy) water.

Might be obvious to most people but I used to really struggle with cleaning the George!!

Use Johnsons Baby Lotion on stainless steel and chrome surfaces - will make it shine like a new pin.

For black iron fireplaces common in modern developments: Rub with baby oil and buff with a dry cloth.

The water in my area is really limescaly and no amount of lemon juice or vinegar was moving it. Even the area aroound the plug in my bath was green and I thought that was it. But I tried harpic limescale remover this weekend and I have to say I thoroughly recommend it it cleaned up my loos sinks and taps like new..

For tea stained mugs/cups use breadsoda gets stains right off. Can be used on sinks too....

Also Lidl have a limescale remover thats fantastic... I can't remember the name off hand but its in a blue, red and yellow bottle. You can actually see it desolving the limescale on taps, toilets etc.

....I was just about to post about Lidl Limescale Remover too when i saw the last post. I can vouch for it's brilliance! I think it's called "Limescale Remover" (clever eh!) and it's the business. And only about �1.30 for a bottle.
