Kim, presenter of 'How Clean is Your house' will be joining us to answer your questions on cleaning and tidying and generally turning your house from pigsty to palace on Tuesday (22nd) lunchtime between 12 and 1pm. If you're unable to join us, then send your questions in to this thread.

bye Kim thanks a lot

Bye Kim. Thankyou.

Ours are set straight on the Mother Earth, FlyMe and have been down since 1880 ish plus they are not sealed and 100 years of dust from the farmyard has dulled them.

I'm wondering whether something obnoxious like paraffin or the like would bring back the shineyness to yours...? The old cleaning books mention paraffin. Get the biscuits in for the fire brigade if it all goes pear shaped.

They like chocolate hob-nobs

Bye, thanks.

Oh! Don't go Kim.

Bye Kim - you're brill!

Thanks tmmj - will try the rice

thank you bye

who was asking about unsealed floor tiles???
I found this out by accident when we had some unsealed terracotta..
neat Mr Muscle! you would not believe the difference.
Try it in a corner because they tiles came up super clean and it might be too much

Thanks Kim! (even though I was not a favoured questioner so forced to return to my slatternly ways)

MNers what is the sand paper that Kim mentioned? Is it the extra fine stuff?

Oooh. The very thought that very clean tiles could be too much!

Gosh that went too quickly didn't it.
I could have Kim round for tea and biscuits and quiz her for hours.

Yes Mad. It is the 000 stuff

Not a mad stalker honestly.

I'd love to go out for a drink with her.

Well I am

Thanks Gentle, I will send dh out in search of it, because my loos are a disgrace. Kim was much better at answering questions than Ed Balls, wasn't she

ingles2 which Mr Muscle product? please.

Kitchen charley...

Typically about to say goodbye and my computer crashed! Big thanks to Kim for joining us and to you for your wealth of questions. What an amazing knowledge she has! To make sure you don't get your toothpaste muddled up with your bicarbinate of soda we'll be archiving the webchat which should make it much easier to follow. We'll be linking to this from the home page later today.

I used the fine wet and dry (and rubber gloves) and it removed the peat water marks from from a toilet which had not been cleaned for years by previous occupants.

It comes up really well.

So now, everyone report back in 2 days time after using Kims tips.

Dirty beggars

Well, she never advised how to train the warthogs so I'm scuppered there.

Madras house - I have same problem with my dh - use denture cleaning tablets - just eave to soak over night and ta da all gone

lol scrappy - I use denture tabs too but there's still a lot left there

They are great for baked on le Creuset nightmares though...
