Title: cleaning related tips wa
Post by: manicscousers on July 27, 2007, 15:03:57
that's how bored I am this afternoon,
I saw these on a programme once and thought I'd pass them on, I've just found the scrap of paper I jotted them down on
fabric softener 1 to 4 with water for static on the tv
banana skin rubbed over  plant leaves to shine them up
cut edge of a brazil nut for scratches on furniture
used potato water for silver items
white vinegar poured over bicarb in the drains, tried, it works
vinegar and water mix to clean a shower cubicle
I haven't tried them all so
I Accept No responsibility   ;D ;D ;D

On one's servants' day off, one simply sweeps the house with a withering glance.

Ha, was reminded or rather thinking, reading this thread....y'know the way people get tv progs on dvd e.g. 24, Gilmore Girls, Father Ted, blah blah blah, I was wondering would you be able to get How clean is your house on DVD?

All those tips are magnificent, and they DO get digustingly dirty things sparklingly spotlessly clean. I remember one hovel, the bath was black but not by design. I think they recommended a lemon, cut in half with some, was it salt on it? Just rub it in. It was a white powder, maybe salt would be too harsh on an enameled bath. Maybe baking powder on half a lemon.

Anyway, does anyone on A4A know if the cleaning prog is available?

many thanks.
