Dirty Talk

Not a tip, but a question. I've been using a polish on my furniture which has made the surfaces sticky, and I've tried all sorts of stuff to wash it off (soapy water made with washing - up liquid, washing powder) all to no avail. Can anyone help me ? I'm afraid to use meths as has been suggested for fear of ruining the finish permanently.

I was having a difficult time removing sticky residue from a plastic table top when I got the inspiration to retreive the orange peel from my breakfast and rub it on the mess (orange side down). It worked like a charm!

Actually, it's more of a desperate cry for help. My 91 year up grandpa loves to eat honey, but he doesn't clean his hands afterwards. Consequently, he gets honey everywhere, especially in the kitchen. By the time I get home from work, the kitchen is a sticky mess. I clean everything with hot soapy water and that does the job, but how do I keep the honey from sticking to the wood cabinetry? Is their something I can apply after cleaning so the next time I clean, it's easier? PLEASE HELP!!! I'm sick of the germs!!

If you get a pollen stain on your clothes, don’t panic! The pollen is very light and hopefully won’t be part of the fabric just yet. Get some sticky tape and very carefully pull off as much as you can manage. Don’t brush at all.

wd40 is great for removing stickers, sticky labels etc just spray on wait a few minutes then scrape off using a plastic scraper

For sticky marks and labels wipe with spray window cleaner

Burnt food and sticky grub always get stuck in the gaps on the top of the cooker">cooker. There is no way of preventing this from happening. So when you notice that the grime starts to build up in this area use a toothbrush and a tiny bit of toothpaste with water to take the grime away. Then to make it shine wipe it down with a dry fluff free cloth. ;]

If you need to get rid of sticky label marks try wiping it with meths.
