Dirty Talk

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 live in the US. There is a product in the market called Shower Fresh. I spray it on my glass shower doors, tiles, entire tub/shower space, after every shower. I rarely have to really scrub my shower or tub. I wonder if there is a way to make something at home that would work as well, but save money. Any suggestions?

for urine on the wooden floor i would try to scrub with Murphy's oil soap.

Sorry, question not tip; we just bought a caravan and theres brown/yellow cigarette smoke stains on the walls and ceiling, which we can't seem to scrub off; does anyone know how to get rid of them? thanks

To keep your dryer from using up too much energy (and to get your clothes to dry faser) clean your lint screen with a scrub brush and a dab of soap or vinegar. Rinse the screen and water should fall through. Even though you're taking off the lint buildup when you do laundry, tiny particles accumulate in the screen and prevent airflow thus increasing the time your clothes spend in the dryer. Do this once a month (if you don't do much laundry) or once every couple of weeks (for families).

when cleaning a silver metal sink they can look dull to get them shining again after cleaning scrub the sink down with dry newspaper

Cleaning the toilet. I slip a few denture tablets in the toilet daily then just a swoosh of the brush and it is easier for the weekly scrub.

I got this tip from some nurse friends on getting blood out of fabrics. I have used it on both fresh blood stains and old ones. Soak in Hydrogen Perioxide (do not dilute) and after letting it do its work breaking down the enzymes in the blood stain, rinse and if necessary use ordinary bar of soap or laundry detergent and gently scrub.

To get dirty running shoes clean use a toothbrush with whitening toothpaste and scrub. Clean off with a damp cloth.. works every time!

To keep sink clean, after wshing up, I sprinkly surface with bicarbonate of soda and spritz with vinegar I keep in a spray bottle. I use my (clean) dish rag to scrub the surface, then rinse with hot water. Follow up with hydrogen peroxide and you increase the antibacterial punch and reduce water spots. This is environmentally friendly and works better than any commercial cleaners!

A suggestion for getting dishwasher clean. I make a paste out of warm water and baking soda. With those new "cleaning erasers", I scrub all the insides with the mixture. Then take a clean rag or towel and dip it in warm to hot water and go over the entire surface. It not only cleans, but neutralizes odors. For the outside, I use a soft cloth and window cleaner. I wipe my dishwasher, inside and out about once a week to keep it clean and fresh. That way, you don't have to ever work hard scrubbing it.

To clean a stainless steel sink: I sprinkle bicarbonate of soda all over sink and tap. Then with a tiny spritz of proprietary all-purpose cleaner with bleach. Scrub gently with a nylon scourer, then dampen micro-fiber cloth or any cloth with warm water and remove it all. Buff to a shiny dry sink. I find micro-fiber clothes in the automotive department of any discount retail shop. I love you Kim and Agzies. Stevie in the States (Seattle)

Inker's tip -- to clean motor oil from your skin (even after a good scrub with soap), rub your hands with vegetable oil and salt (at least a tablespoon). Follow up with oil soap, then regular soap --or follow up with a liquid soap containing exfoliants.

To get out ink off of fabrics use a baby wipe first to test to see if that will come out, if not take a bowl of warm water, soapbar & small brush to the laudry room with the stain fabric & rub the fabric with the wet bar really good then with the soap is on the fabric add spray & wash on it and scrub real well with the brush then put in washer to extra cleaning. The ink will come out for sure.

f you have a dirty pan that you just can't seem to get clean or you burned something this really works! Squirt a little dishwasher detergent in the pan and fill with hot water. If it is encrusted inside and out then fill the sink and immerse the offending pan. You can leave it overnight but if it is just stuff burned or dried on a few hours will suffice. Works great even on old baked on stains! Scrub with nylon brillo pad. It usually wipes right off with no effort. The best brand I have found is Cascade Complete. It eats right thru all the food and grease. It only takes about a teaspoon for the average pan. You can also use it on stovetops and ovens.

fromoz, baked on stubborn carbon can be removed in this way : a cup of clear amonia and a plastic garbage bag. Place the soiled items in the plastic bag with the amonia and twist tightly to close. You must check periodically for left too long the amonia can discolor the metal....what doesn't melt off should be softened enough to scrub off easily....warning: for metal only!!!!! Use plenty of ventilation!!!!!!!

if you have a wet bed clean it with washing up liquid and warm water and scrub until all the stain is out, then get a couple of towles lay them over the area and bouce on the bed to get all the excess water of the mattress then if you can stand the mattress up on its side to air it with windows open

I have some antique silverware which i've just bought some super expensive cleaner for, but my mum used to use toothpaste on hers. Aparently you use a bit of water and don't scrub too hard. I'm sticking with my expensive stuff though
