Today I did probably the most Mumsnetty thing I've ever done. Am the first to admit that when I read about it on Mumsnet I was deeply skeptical, but after today I'm converted. Go on, guess what it was?

@MagnoliaPaintedWalls

With thanks to all for this short lived (hopefully, but you never know with a Mumsnet thread let's face it) but glorious thread. Today, Mumsnetters, I bleached my skirting boards. And I cannot tell you what a game changer it was. They were filthy! And now they sparkle like freshly laid Christmas snow. They, and this thread, have made me a very happy Mumsnetter. Grin

@mumsiedarlingrevolta take a dishwasher tablet, the hard ones work much better than the gel ones, and wet it a tiny bit and use it to scrub the oven glass. It also works inside the oven. Like a little soapy pumice stone.

There was a thread a while ago about a man who used one of spreading knives to remove dog poo from his DC shoe then wanted to wash it and back in the cutlery drawer

Don’t you risk also bleaching the carpet?

Had a fight with your husband so you've packed up and gone on a spa weekend.

Named your child Ottilie or Christopher nn Kit (always the nickname).

ShirleyPhallus · 19/12/2021 21:31

Got one already. It's in the cleaning cupboard with 'poo' written on it. For when you have to scrape poo out of school shoes? Or is it another Centreparcs thing? Am confused

Hang on, I could see why you might need a poo knife to get poo OFF a shoe, but scraping it OUT of a shoe?! How does a poo get inside a shoe??

I thought a poo knife in the traditional sense was one you need to slice a poo if it’s too large to be flushed
