Brown teaspoons and laptop screen

7 replies

AUBINA · 08/04/2011 12:12

I'm at home waiting for a delivery so I thought I'd clean some things I keep putting off. My teaspoons although clean have a brown stain on them. What do I need to do to get them shiny again? Also the laptop screen, however many times I tell my children not to touch the screen, they do. Surprise, surprise, their hands are not always pristine. I understand I'm not supposed to use any products on it. Help and thank you.

Brown teaspoons - soak in clothes washing powder & boiling water, then scrub if needed.

Laptop screen - think you can get special wipes? I just use slightly damp kitchen paper. Or leave it covered in fingerprints...

I bleach teaspoons and a damp microfibre close for the lappy.

Not sure on the teaspoons, but I've found baby wipes great on plasma/laptop screens.

soda crystals work on teaspoons (also get stains off inside of cups) there was a thread here last week dedicated to soda crystals....they are my new cure for everything and so cheap!..will try & hunt it out for you

Thank you everyone. Funnily enough I recently bought some soda crystals on the advice of a friend, for use on greasy stuff. Bounty007 if you can find that thread it would be great.

I can't find it AUBINA...have had a good hunt, there was also a link in the thread to a page of uses for soda crystals. They are my new best friend Grin

I bleach teaspoons then rub with a microfibre cloth. Laptop screens you cant beat babywipes then buff up with a microfibre cloth, or sometimes just a buff with the cloth works if theyre not sticky fingers lol
