Can anyone tell me how to remove sun cream accidently spilt on leather hand bag?
use cola to remove lime scale from the toilet or shower comes up really nice and clean
I know it sounds lazy, but if I know that a guest is about to arrive I spray polish on my radiators and wipe the down, as the heating comes on it smells like I have just polished. I put lavender oil on my bedroom radiator to give it that nice peaceful smell for the evening
I don't know why this works, but it does! I learned it from fellow youth-hostellers in the 1950's. A fistful of potato peelings rubbed vigorously round a saucepan quickly loosens and cleans off difficult stuck-on food remains.
An old method of cleaning and polishing furniture, mix equal parts of olive oil, (vegetable oil is a cheaper altrnative) with lemon juice, apply to a duster and polish the antiques, works a treat. Flat cola poured down the loo at night will clear limescale, a dash of white vinegar in the morning will whiten the bowl. The same vinegar applied to bites and stings will reduce swelling, inflammation and itching. Thanks Great Aunt Kate!!
