[RachelMumsnet]

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.

Thanks Kim . Will go purchase the best bleach i can find and give the grout another go.

Tortoise - get this.

Belgian - keep a clothes peg in the bathroom and fasten a handtowel round you bib-style. There's no way short of washing to get rid of toothpaste IME, and if you use whitening toothpaste you have to soak it v quick.

So happy to help on many levels!

thanks for answering my question Kim

she was fab wasn't she?

i think we should invite her to the mn xmas party

Blu tak on brick wall - try a wire brush, even better, try holding ice pack on the blutak for a few minutes, then wire brush.

Ingles2, fear not - there's a fantastic concoction care of Anthea Turner (hope Kim isn't listening), called Anthea's Ultimate Grimebuster:

2tbsp white vinegar
2rsp borax
2 teacups water
3 drops lavender oil
3 drops tea tree oil
Mix together, pour into a sprayer and, as Anthea says, away you go!

Works a treat on the Aga, as do those cleaning blocks you can get.

Wish there was some way of successfully cleaning inside the lids. Any clues?

to get rid of crayon on walls (ir anything) -scrub with white toothpaste

a miracle!

Do you know, Iactually think I was Kim's favourite on this chat. I really do.

No Mama G it was definately me.

She loved me more than you. I actually HELPED two MNers with their problems, you just described fake tan in great detail

did you notice she wouldn't say my name though in her replies to me but did to everyone else I dont tink se wanted to write down 'Daily Mail stinks of poo' in case she was sued or something.

bless her

I missed this and she didn't answer my question (posted last week!!!!) about my old and tired uPVC window frames

DAISY - DH used a JML Magic Eraser on ours - they came up like new.

Well, I hate to pee on everyone's parade but I think FlyMeToDunoon and I were odds on favourites with our floors.

LatinDAISYcal- try the new Jeyes Fluid squirty stuff (Asda) - it is yellow. I went mental with cleaning yesterday and got some of this stuff and it is brilliant on uPVC, grotty bits and other things.

We discovered loads of mushrooms growing out of the kitchen wall yesterday

thanks for the tips GentleOtter and LilRedWG

GentleOTter you can NOT be a favourite if you have fungus growing in your house

Damn - she didn't answer the loobrush question

I am going to take a photo of them MamaG and post them if I can figure out how to do it. We are all shocked - I knew it was damp but they just appeared and are big orangey things like ears.
I have a nice clean floor but a toadstool wall

Yes, do. Either upload direclty from your computer onto MyMumsent, or upload to picturetrail and link

hello again dears

Just popped back quickly to settle the argument and let you know that my favourite Mumsnetter is MamaG.

Keep cleaning ladies!
