Life Changing Cleaning - Why Didn't I Know?

[Wavingnotdowning]

I can't believe I didn't know about rubber brooms before now! No word of a lie, it has changed my life - picks up dog fur from the stairs better than any hoover. My carpet is like new. This, after spending £s on Dyson. Anyone else got any brilliant cleaning tips?

Any tips for getting very dried on water marks off a shower screen? I’ve given up explaining the function of the squeegee to DP

Cillit Bang and a scouring pad works for me.

Glass, windows and mirrors - fabric softener in water and smells amazing too - only time I've ever had smear free glass and I've tried nearly everything

Interesting. How much conditioner to how much water? Do you spray it on, or fill a bowl?

Viakal spray is good on shower screens.

I've yet to try the spray but I love the Elbow Grease 'scrub mate' things. I used one of those in conjunction with the Viakal to remove stubborn limescale marks from the shower screen. Left it on for a while after scrubbing then rinsed.

White vinegar spray somehow doesn't tackle the limescale in these parts. I can't understand why not!

I also rate Fairy sponges for washing up. Cheapest place to buy them is Wilko

I use Method shower spray every morning after the last person has showered. It stops the lime scale from starting.

Im off B&M now, they open at 08.00

Haha Linton (love the reference!)

I use the cheap and cheerful £1 shower spray from Wilko plus a squeegee after every shower. Takes seconds and I didn't want my Viakalathon to be in vain

I'm also looking into a robot vacuum +mop for Black Friday. It might incentivise me to keep the floors clear of clutter!

Shower screens - equal parts white vinegar and a good washing up liquid.

Any tips for burnt on brown cooking stains on glass dish please

@Cherrypies Try a hard dishwasher tablet. Just wet the end of it and rub. Also works on the inside of your oven door glass.

Or if you can place it on direct heat, try boiling some water and lemon juice.

Biological washing detergent for burnt on stains. Has to be bio not non-bio but powder/liquid/tablet all work.

I'd leave it to soak in warm - not boiling - water and give it a scrape occasionally.

I feel like such a mum saying this but I completely agree OP they are awesome!

Washing powder, the stuff you put in the washing machine. Add boiling hot water and leave for 15 minutes then wash as normal.

Also works on frying pans - even removes oil stains!!!

@Cherrypies, I use a paint scraper, it gets them off in seconds.

Like this Screwfix window scraper

Rubber brooms...? What sorcery is this?

Perhaps I've been living in a cave but I haven't heard of them!

OvenMate oven cleaner is fantastic. Brush on, wipe off with cold water, no scrubbing or effort needed. It works on baking trays, glass dishes, the glass door on the wood burner & of course, the oven. It just brilliant.

@BlueSkies2020

Can someone post a link to the rubber broom please

Also I’m looking for a good mop hardwood floors. Don’t want it too wet

This is the best mop I have ever bought the floor is almost dry after mopping.
I agree about the rubber broom no dogs in this house but it makes light work of collecting mine and dd’s hair in the room where we blowdry our hair.

I purchase my replacement mop heads from the JML website or flea bay.

This is a brilliant thread. Added flash erasers to my Tesco shop.

Can someone pop round and declutter my hovel home, before I can actually CLEAN?

Leave the roll of bin liners in the bottom of the bin. Quick change. That's all I've got!
