You can use it to clean virtually everything, my grandmother swore by it.

It's 58p and most supermarkets stock it.

It's very eco friendly too as an added bonus.

thanks ggirl.

I never washed mine much until we got the dog.

(and am probably exaggerating now about how often it gets washed anyway!)
