What's your best household tip that you don't think is widely known??

I need to up the standards on the domestic front

Any one got a remedy for stain which run around rim (the underneath) of toilet seat. It's not anything nasty-honestly. Pretty sure it's the toilet cleaner discolouring the plastic type toilet seat. It's one of those clever self lowering seats which goes with our comfort toilet from the Bath store. Got two of them and not had them long. I suspect there is nothing I can do. Please help if you have any magic up your sleeves. Thanks for having a think.

Has anyone got tips for cleaning an old enamel bath! I've tried scrubbing it, bleaching it, Village. Nothing works. It's worse in summer because of dirty feet!

bunface I have an old enamel bath and know this problem well. An old trick for cleaning surface stains and very small scratches on glass, hard plastics and enamel is T Cut or the liquid type (and not the wadding) Brasso or better still if you can get it jewellers rouge it's hard work if you do it by hand, but LIGHT pressure with a re chargeable Drill (not electric ) and polishing mop should do the job. HTH

Happydayarehere T cut should work on your toilet seat.

Newname thanks for that great tip. Excellent! Will give it a go.

Bunface, I don't have an old enamel bath but I have a couple of years old one (steel not iron).

I have read up a lot about getting limescale off, and basically, you can't use anything much as it damages the surface - there's a vitreous enamel information website which is v serious and v good - and it lists products that are less damaging - but the answer is just to dry the bath after use, so that it doesn't get scale on it, and if it does, then you have to chip it off using something that won't damage the enamel.

We have an anti slip patch on ours which is discoloured by limescale, and I find that rubbing the spots with a pumice stone gets them back to white very easily. It's quite enjoyable!
