Mouldy shower curtain?

Posted on by

Don’t give up on it and chuck it out.

Machine-wash on a wool cycle with some towels and rehang in position straight from the machine.

Keep on top of household clutter

Posted on by

 Adopt the mantra:

One in, one out’.

For every new item you bring into your home, look for one existing one you can either throw or recycle.

Get those taps gleaming!

Posted on by

When cleaning the bathroom, finish off by polishing taps and shining the basin and mirror with towels that you’re about to put in the washing machine.

Electric toothbrush playing up?

Posted on by

If your electric toothbrush starts whimpering instead of buzzing, get an emery board and rub the top off and all around the spindle – chances are that’ll clear the blockage and sort it!

How to avoid mould in your bathroom

Posted on by

If you don’t have an extractor fan, try to open the window as much as possible after a shower or bath for a good airflow.

If you’re having a bath, run the cold tap first, followed by the hot, which will reduce steam (safer, too, if children are around).

For a mouldy shower curtain, machine-wash on a wool cycle with a capful of bleach added to the drawer; rehang straight from the machine.

Limescale licked!

Posted on by

There’s no need to resort to expensive, strong products to attack limescale.

Much better to stick to homemade remedies, which are just as effective, and a lot cheaper.

If your chrome showerhead is caked with scale, unscrew it, and steep overnight in a bowl containing half clear vinegar and half warm water. In the morning the scale will flake off and the head will only need a little rub with a cloth. Note: don’t use on special metal finishes, as vinegar can damage.

For scale in an enamel bath or porcelain sink, dampen a pumice stone and rub away at the mark. Don’t worry about scratching: the pumice is hard enough to deal with the scale but soft enough not to damage the surfaces

Avoid those embarrassing marks in the loo …

Posted on by
 

Next time you’re at a friend’s house and need to go for a sit-down in the smallest room, first lay down about 3-4 sheets of loo paper on top of the water.

Then you can freely go into action in the secure knowledge that, post-flush, there will be no stains left behind because everything will have landed on the paper!

(That tip is courtesy of my younger son.)

Fluff up your towels

Posted on by

Towels go hard usually because people use too much fabric conditioner.

What happens is that over time the surplus never gets rinsed properly, and starts to build up…which ends up making the dried towels stiff – ironic, isn’t it?

The best thing to do is to stop the machine before the final rinse and add a cup of clear vinegar to the drum. No, you won’t have the lingering waft of eau de fish and chips!

Trade secret: a vinegar rinse is what keeps hotel towels soft.

If the grouting in your bathroom is covered in mould, but you don’t want to use chemical sprays on it, douse in vodka instead.

Leave to soak for a good 15 minutes and then scrub off – you should be left mould-free.
