Great hacks you've used

[beanaseireann]

I saw this on the DM
To get stuck on burnt bits off oven trays or dishes soak in fabric conditioner - I used Comfort.
It worked a treat.

If baking pavlova use a "magic oven liner" you've cut to size. The pavlova just peels off.
No baking dish required.
Or use a silicone cake mould.

Have you any great hack ?

Dishcloths in dishwasher before turning on

Chopped herbs in ice cube trays with red or white wine, then just pop out and use in stews and things.

Just two of us, so, with helpful hacks on Mumsnet

Any idea how to get the discolouration out the bottom of the toilet? I let things slip cleaning wise when I was unwell and now can't get it white again!

Flash bathroom spray is amazing for getting stains out of carpets

@Bobbiepin the Harpic in the black bottle is amazing. We were planning to replace the toilet in our new house until I accidentally discovered that this got rid of it!

Scrubbing a SS sink with half a lemon and some salt brings it up lovely and shiny!

Try a bottle of coke for the toilet.

Paracetamol rubbed on the iron cleans it.

Thanks @SleepingIsOverrated I'll give hat a go. Just let it sit and give it a scrub yeah?

A whole bottle of cheap cola overnight also works @Bobbiepin

@Bobbiepin I left it overnight, didn't think anything of it until the next day when DH asked what I'd had to do to get it clean!!

Baby wipes are brilliant for cleaning crayon off walls without taking the paint off.

I use a several glugs of white vinegar in our toilet. It works really well.

WD40 to clean the cooker hood grease,stainless steel backsplash and hob. Just make sure it's completely evaporated before turning the hob on. Mines gas so it flared a little bit. It's also good for cleaning deep fat fryers.

It's a brilliant degreaser, it gets marker pen of whiteboards, cleanes the outside of fridge freezers or anything enameled and is pretty good on stained Formica.

Also citric acid in the toilet to shift archaic limescale,the type you get in Wilko's for cleaning home beermaking kits.

Buy a peg octopus from Ikea and use it to dry socks and underwear. I have one hanging permanently in the airing cupboard and one for the washing line. It saves pegs and space

Dishwasher tablet in dirty pans overnight with a splash of water, rinse out in the morning good as new. Also dishwasher tablets to scrub grease and grime off oven glass.

Drop of fabric conditioner on a tea towel over the radiator (turned on) for a nice smelling house.

Got no coke, will Pepsi Max work?

I'l give that a go before I go buy harpic

Yes, it's the acidity that matters. Pepsi Max will do the job.

Boil white socks on the hob with white vinegar to get them back to shiny white. These were DDs school socks and I had tried bleach, whitening things for the washing machine and vanish. Was on the verge of binning them.

Window cleaning tip. So you know which side of the window any streaks are on. Clean one side with vertical sweeps of your cloth, the other side of the window use horizontal sweeps of your cloth.

@Bobbiepin Pepsi Max will work but is a bit of a waste. A bottle of own brand supermarket 25p coke is good.

That cola thing never worked for me, I ended up with a toilet 10 times browner afterwards! [not envy! - looked gross!]

@ooooohbetty it's been sitting around for donkeys. Neither DH or I drink it but seemed wasteful to just throw it. Pretty sure its passed its use by so if it can clean my toilet it is fulfilling a purpose.

A couple of denture sterilising tablets also works (or half a tube if it's really bad). Own brand ones are cheap.

paracetamol to clean bottom of iron everything just comes off leaving it as good as new
