I urge you to buy an E cloth from Lakeland!!

[dropinthe]

Its bloody brilliant!! Have just cleaned my stainless steel hob and splashback with it-nothing else but water - started off sceptical-it was filthy from a fry up last night-got rid of every last mark,a quick buff and I have never seen it shine so bright!

Marthamoo I'll make a note of that in case i ever meet someone with that type (adds to secret list)

Georgina, they do work.
Bloody brilliant.
Not a fabric conditioner woman myself. Trying to cut down on chemicals and all that...

So how are they with towels then? Are the towels fairly soft when they come out?

Sorry to sound such a complete cynic, but I am genuinely interested, honest

I bought one of these last week as I've got a stainless stell oven and just bought a a stainless steel dishwasher. Almost took it back cos I can't seem to buff my cooker up that well Suppose I must be doing something wrong...any ideas?

the flash on is called Mark and Stain Eraser its excellent - whats the paste one called - did I miss it?

Well my towels are good! I like them quite hard tbh, think fabric conditioner makes them slimey and less absorbent (as it does with nappies)
Gaaaah!!! Gotta go. Someone at the door.
Just when it was getting really exciting too!!

Yes I want to know that too, GeorginaA. Tell us the truth!

I am sceptical because of the suspension of disbelief tactic that washing powder manufacturers have been using in their advertising for years. You know, all that - look a white T-shirt, let's put red wine, Ribena, chocolate, engine oil, blood, ketchup etc. on it and then we wash it at 40 degrees in new Persilerieldazbold and look - it looks brand new! (Duh, that's 'cos it isn't the same T-shirt but they get away with it anyway)

You just accept that if you get certain things on a white T-shirt it is never going to look the same again, don't you? Yet somehow they get away with blatantly lying in their ad's.

Sorry...went off one one there...where we we?

A little bit of baby oil on stainless steel hobs brings up a shine, but just a little bit mind . Saw that one on Wife Swap I think.

Astonish paste

Good for UPVC windows. If you had them. Which I don't. Ahem.

You never know when that could come in handy.

Indeed, Pinotmum

It doesn't mention windows in the blurb, mrs moo (ahem)

Damn it, Jan - you're supposed to try and help me maintain my in with the in-crowd MN persona - not show me up as a fraud with UPVC windows.

oh I've had Astonish before from Woolies - it is good.

Ah well, I own both plastic windows (and I DON'T CARE EVEN THOUGH MY HOUSE IS VICTORIAN!!!!) and a tub of Astonish so it could have been me that told you

I've got plastic windows in and 18th century house but we didn't put them in! let's face it - the upkeep is easier - I hate painting woodwork!

I love my UPVC windows - but then the house was built in the late 1990's so they suit

We are the guilty party here but I still don't care - the old sash windows were long gone, replaced with cheap whitewood top-openers which were rotting. (And I hate painting woodwork too, JT! )

actually in the washing ads it has to be the same t-shirt (ad standards and all)

the trick is ... shhhhh ... they wash it immediately after the stain .. most things come out if they haven't been left to set

OK, I'm Coming Out.

I live in a 160 year old Weaver's Cottage with UPVC windows.

And I'm glad because we had hardwood double glazed sash windows in our last house and had to sand and stain them once a year. And this house is three storeys, dh hates heights, and I'm buggered if I'd be sanding and staining 3 storeys up.

Oooh! I feel really cleansed now that's out in the open.

I'll be confessing to reading the Daily Mail and having a Burberry fetish next.

Victorian House -- white UPvC double glazed windows (inherited)

Twiglett, you're secretly Danny Baker aren't you?

moo, did you inherit them? If so you are exempt from scorn - it's like fur coats. (If not, do join me in the naughty corner!)

Shhhhhh moo

I'm actually wassisname off eastenders
