DOMESTIC CLEANING TIPS EDINBURGH

• Small stains on carpets. Wet nylon tights and rub the stain.

• Bath stains. Make a paste of cream of tartar and lemon juice and spread it on the stain leaving it to dry then rinse off.

• Clean a kettle with a lemon cut up in chunks and boiled in the kettle.

• Hard paint brushes can be soaked in boiling vinegar.

• Chewing gum can be removed by hardening it first by using ice and then removing with a blunt knife.

• Stickers on wood can be removed by coating the area in white vinegar and then scraping the stickers off after it has soaked in.

• Oven shelves, trays, gas hob rings etc. Place them in a bath of hot water with a couple of cups of washing powder. Leave to soak for an hour or so and then wash in the normal way with washing up liquid and hot water.

• Chrome. Just put a few drops of baby oil in a small amount of water and then wipe over chrome. Buff up with a dry soft cloth.

• Windows can be cleaned by using a rolled up newspaper.

• Clean windows on a dull day as sunlight is prone to dry the glass too quickly leaving smears.

• Tomato based food stains on plastic containers can be greatly reduced by rubbing the inside of them with vegetable oil before filling them up.

• To remove dents in carpets made by heavy furniture.  Place an ice cube on the marks.  Hoover when dry.

• Lemon juice mixed with brasso helps to brighten brass and keep it clean for longer.

• Stained saucepans can often be cleaned by cooking rhubarb or apple peelings in them.

• Door seals on washing machines and dishwashers. It is advisable to clean them regularly to make sure that they stay watertight.
