Household Tips

I just heard that if you dip your duster in a water solution that contains a little vinager, it helps to repel the dust from your surfaces for longer!

I'm gonna have to try this one to see if it works, but I wanted to write it down first in case I got distracted and then forgot.

Did you know that a little vinegar on some brown bread will get crayon off the walls? This is one of the most expesive ways of doing it I've ever tried before, but there you go!

hi, I got a beautiful doona cover set from my ex brother in-law but he had it in the car when he went 4Wdriving and it got wet, it had a few mould stains on it and I'm not sure how long they have been there, I have tried soaking it in nappy san that didnt work so I tried washing it on a soak load and sprayed it with heaps of prewash stain remover.. but still didnt work.

I not sure about bleaching it cos I think that will distroy it.

any ideas? PLEASE!!!

Thanks in advance

Long story, but when I cleaned the kids room last week I made some yuk discoveries - largely involving mandarines left in the bedroom and gone mouldy - well, one of them was on a pair of shorts.  I have washed the shorts several times - with hot washes and cold washes, but I cannot get the mould off - any ideas anyone??  It is little black circles on the leg of the shorts.  If I can't get them off I'll have to bin them...

if u squeeze the toilit paper roll a little so the cardboard tube is not round but more squished when toddlers or kids come along and try to unroll the whole roll in one spin it wont roll around so easily

any hints or tricks, I have a new over and the gas burners ( metal looking things) on the top are stained, i tried to clean then but it wont budge.. it was only bolognaise sause lol..

please help...

On Saturday my partner washed on of my red tops with some white t-shirts,  the dye ran.  We now have 3 pink t-shirts.  LOL

I have been soaking them in bleach, but it is not working.  Anyone got any tips on how I can make them white again?

cheapest and best ways for cleaning that are helthier for your children and are not harsh chemicals are vinegar and methylated spirits

vinegar can be diluted in a spray bottle with water or used direct. i put it in my steamer to steam and clean my floor it cleans the tiles and a tiler actually recommended it to me. i also have been told by other older cirxle of friends that use it  for the toilet.

methylated spirits i use for mirrors and glass and wipe with a newspaper afetr to get a perfect  clean affect.

i also clean down my kitchen sink with it it cleans the stainless steel and disinfects at the same time. put a little on an old rag. best results are old white t shirts or singlets.

Does anyone have some advice for doind this??? We painted and have a few little specks on our stairs..HELP!!

OK, so don't lauch, but I bought this cleaner from a door to door salesman, and haven't been disapointed. You diltute it and but it in a spray bottle and it truly cleans just about everything, and it's safe around pets and kids!! It was a little pricey at $35, but I just weighed in what I would normally spend throughtout the year on cleaners, and this one is all purpose!! If you google it, the website will come up..We purchased it in Apple and it was worth it..Just wanted to share!!
