Smellywashingmachine?Unsightlyloo? Kim (she of the wonderful hair and half of Kim and Aggie) took her Marigolds to Mumsnetters' mucky ways in a live webchat. Read her tips and advice and remember, ventilation, ventilation, ventilation...
penguinmum's creamy fish pie: smoky, seasonal fish in a creamy white sauce with grated, rather than mashed, tatties on top - a meal of the highest comfort-food order.
The Lakeland things are very good, but fiddly and will make you swear quite a lot. I have some cotton gloves that wet with solution of warm water and Pledge wood soap and go along the slats of my wooden blinds. Nancybotwin has the right idea though - if you keep on top of the dust with the hoover attachment, it does help.
take them down, lay them flat in the garden on a sheet and wash them with a sponge and hose them off. Leave to dry over washing line and re-hang. use damp cloth to wipe up any drips. (Can do this in the bath if no garden area).
Sounds like a performance but it is nowhere near as fiddly as wiping each slat!!
It's got very bad reviews on their own website though...
I do use a hoover attachment on mine to give them a quick clean - but it doesn't take off all the dust. The only way of getting them properly clean ime to do it slat by slat by hand...
