Cleaning Tips
Ever wanted to know how to.......
Treat red wine stains....
If you spill red wine on a carpet,or clothing, don't worry. Pour a glass of white wine over the top and the red wine will disappear!
HOT TIP...
Keep a half bottle of white wine in the fridge just in case.
CURE A SMELLY SINK....
If you have a smelly sink, put about 150 grams of Bicarbonate of Soda down the plughole, pour on about 25ml of Distilled vinegar and watch it bubble! Leave for about 10 minutes or longer if you have time and then flush with boiling water, the smell will go and should last for about a week. I do my sinks every Sunday along with the roast!
REMOVE TEA STAINS....
If you have tea stains on your worktops or in your sink, squirt some common soda liquid over the stained area, add some distilled vinegar, wait for about 2 minutes then just wipe off with a gentle scourer. Rinse with clean water, wipe dry. The tea stains will be gone and the sink will be shiny!
KEEP YOUR SHOWER CLEAR OF LIMESCALE....
To keep your glass clean after each shower, wipe the glass with a squeegee. It's the water deposits that cause the limescale, no water deposits, no limescale - Simple! To make sure your Shower Head stays clean, soak it once a week in a plastic container or food bag with some natural Decalcifier or Distilled Vinegar (see our products page) over night and rinse clean in the morning!
RID YOUR KITCHEN OF COOKING SMELLS....
The very best thing to do is have good ventilation when you start cooking so most of the odour goes out of the window, a good extractor will have the same effect. If you are unable to do this, after cooking, gently boil some cinnamon sticks with fresh lemons and the warm inviting smell will waft around the home making it smell warm and inviting. Lovely! You could also place small pots of white vinegar discreetly around the home as this is a natural deodoriser.
MAKE YOUR OWN PERFECT CREAM CLEANER WITH A SMELL YOU REALLY LIKE....
Mix a teaspoon of Bicarbonate of Soda with a few drops of Distilled Vinegar to a soft creamy mixture, rub into the grout and leave for 1-2 hours, scrub out with a brush and your grout will be much cleaner. Use the creamy mixture to clean tiles too. Rinse and dry off for a wonderful shine.
MAKE ECO FRIENDLY AIR FRESHENER....
Put about 20 drops of lavender oil into a small spray bottle with a teaspoon of Bicarbonate of Soda (which acts as a natural deodoriser), top up with distilled water, shake and hey presto you have a natural disinfectant, antibacterial room spray that smells wonderful!
