Dirty Talk

Don't use expensive proprietary cleaners on ceramic hobs, use a value brand cream cleanser and finish off by buffing up with a few drops of white vinegar on a soft cloth to shine it up.

Need suggestion. I had a fire in my kitchen which has left the walls and the roof stained with smoke. I could wipe off only a part of it though not clearly. was wondering if there is a way to clean the walls to avoid repainting. TRY USING A SUGAR SOAP SOLUTION :)

To remove stubborn burnt on food from saucepans/frying pans, add a tablespoons or 2 of laundry powder/a tablet and water and boil on cooker until spotless again. Wash pan thoroughly afterwards.

Don't waste precious fridge space with bowls of baking soda or coffee - pop in a whole lemon (or two) to absorb smells & deodorise your fridge naturally. Replace it every few months.

i found out that if you clean your dirty grout with lemon juice and salt and a old toothbrush and scrub with this it really does clean your dirty grout

I have a question not a tip-- I watch your show everyday and I missed on what you used tea tree oil for I remember that it worked on whatever you cleaned but cant remember what it was used to clean.Please tell me . CKirby

Does anyone know how to get rid of dried on washing powder from a washing machine compartment? Many thanks

help.... question not a tip... how do you get water stains out of dark wood furniture...

i had problems with roaches it was the cleaner i was usingpine sol lysol any thing smelly like that will attract them that was bringing them in use vinegar to clean with or clorox bleach nothing else they will go away

baby oil will help it shine but use very little

enzyme cleaners will break the urine down and take the odor out of wood floors and tile get it at any hardware store

use cream of tarter in a sink of hot water and vinegar let set over night then clean the electric stove pans,salt and lemon juice work well too

put water in a ziplock freezer bag,tie a string to it and hang it up at the door or where ever the flies are this keeps them away

put a bar of smelly good soap in an old sock place in a drawer to keep clothes smelling fresh

lemons or lemon juice will clean your kitchen counters.If you have a spill or stain on your carpet spray with windex window cleaner,then apply a damp white towel to the spill,or stain put an iron on it and iron it up.the stain or spill comes up.

To easily remove burned on grease, pan drippings etc. from stove burner grids, soak them in a strong solution of hot water and laundry ammonia. I use a Dutch oven covered with a lid to protect against the fumes. You can leave it outside if you want. Soak them until the spills just wipe off. If your grids are very bad, you can soak them overnight. It doesn't hurt them.

This isn't a tip but has anyone got a tip for getting a urine stain out of my brown leather settee

I have seen a few microwave solutions that include a bowl of water ad a slice of lemon and I agree but would like to add that if you alow the bowl to sit for five to ten minutes and then come into the microwave with a clean dry cloth starting from the top nearly every bit will just wipe away from the soaking in the steam.

If you are having trouble with fruit flies in your kitchen just take a coffee mug and put about one quarter of a cup of cider vinegar and a tablespoon of dish soap into it. Vinegar first and let the dish soap settle not mix into it. Leave this out for 24 hours and all of the fruit flies wil have come for vinegar and stayed because of the soap :)
