Dirty Talk

To wash mould away from bedroom wall surface i have often found that using hot soapy water is good but then using straight lemon juice to remove the black stain it leaves behind.

A Question Actually can anyone help please. I have a light coloured leather suite which has now become absolutely filthy. It has children's grubby finger marks, biro and just general dirt ingrained in the leather. Does anyone have any tips for getting it nice and clean again? Please dont say chuck it out it was once a beautiful pale lemon leather colour. Help!!

white vinigar&lemon juice to get rid of spilt milk smells

i had a red wine stains on my light ivory coloured leather sofa we had a few people over and the wine wasnt noticed until the next day. i used lemon cif on my sofa to remove a wine stain and wiped it off with a baby wipe. i regularly clean it with a lemon and always wipe it off with a baby wipe. this has completely removed the stain no hard rubbing needed, it keeps it nice and fresh also.

use salt, baking soda and lemon juice(or vinegar) top up with boiling water to keep your drains smelling nice .

Small bottle brush for cleaning out the overflow and drain along with lemon juice and bicarbonate of soda. works bathroom as well

Instead of using a feather duster which will just move dust around your room, fill a bowl with hot water and add a few drops of your favourite essential oil (I recommend lemon and lavender). Then soak a clean rag in the bowl, wring out and use to pick up dust. You'll enjoy the benefits of aromatherapy while giving your house a great smell and an eco friendly clean!

if your dish clothes stink soak them in lemon jucie for 15-30mins that should work

this is from a rerun of K&A here in the states, for dusting use 2 parts water to 1 part lemon oil keep rag in screw lid glass jar. works wonders just like i have finished spring cleaning.

After you have finished sqeezing the juice of a lemon, put half in your dishwasher and put on quick wash. It's a cheap way to clean your dishwasher and get rid of nasty smells. Fill the other half lemon with salt and sit in the fridge to absorb nasty smells.

For burnt items in a microwave (esp. popcorn) try NON acetone nail polish remover. Steam a little lemon in water after for the smell.

About the microwave, the best thing that I have done is put a cup of water in with some lemon juice and let it boil for a few minutes and then wipe out the microwave and it smells good and all the goop comes out as nice as pie. crazyknittincook

Help. How can I best clean my vitroceramic hob with out scarring it. I have tried baking soda and lemon but it's to tough. All help much appreciated.

I found the best way to clean a dirty toilet is to use 5 tspoons of baking soda mixed with boiling water. If you leave this in the toilet overnight the dirt should just fall off the next day. And for an even nice odour use the zest of a lemon aswell.

To keep your wooden cutting boards fresh, rub lemon wedges over the board after you've used them. Remember never to put wood in an automatic dishwasher, and NEVER let it soak in standing water. It'll soak up the nasties, get warped, and be more prone to get smelly. :)

Orange and lemon peel: My mother always kept the long peel of oranges hanging in the kitchen. She would then recycle them via the washing up bowl until the scent was worn out... then the compost!

Microwave: A lot of people mention the lemon wedge in boiling water bit, but I also add 1/4 cup of baking soda. And when I had a garbage disposal I would run the leftover lemon through it. Cut it up pretty small though, I wouldn't want to be responsible for clogging yours up.

First tip! :) I read someone had trouble with marks from their child's bath-toys on the tub. I would try using a good baking-soda based toothpaste with a cleaning toothbrush on the marks. If that doesn't do it, use baking soda on half a lemon or lime (be sure to puncture the half with a fork a bit, so it gets juicy). Good luck! (LOVE this show. <3)
