By Hand?? Dont you have a printer?

tortoise · 10/08/2006 00:08

Can you tell me what you clean with it? (other than windows) And doesn't it stink?!!

signing in for another day of flying!
dressed with shoes, despite having a hangover - check.
shiny sink - check.
smug enthusiasm - check.

Today's kitchen mission is to tidy your pantry / a kitchen cupboard. I bought a timer yesterday, so here I go for 15 minutes!!

shazronnie · 10/08/2006 09:02

white vinegar is great for windows, mirrors, glass shower screens etc. Polish it off with newspaper for gleaming glass!

It does smell when you do it, but the smell does not linger like brown vinegar.

tortoise · 10/08/2006 09:12
