chewing gums

I admit.  I saw this tip and it brought back memories of childhood!  I was banned from buying Chewing Gum by my parents, but of course, that’s like a red rag to a bull!  Here goes …

To remove chewing gum from hair, simply pour a few drops of baby oil onto the gum and work it into the gum with fingers. Then gently comb out.

Let me know if it works!

Prevent your child’s lunchbox from smelling by leaving white bread that’s been soaked in white vinegar inside it overnight.  This would also work for tupperware, casserole dishes etc.

Clean metals with beer.

Beer is an excellent metal polisher that will not stain the metal.

Moisten a soft cloth with beer and rub the cloth on your metal and copper pots and pans until they shine.  This works with Ale, Stout, Lager, Bitter etc.  So here in West Yorkshire, we might choose to use a good pint of Black Sheep or Tetley’s, and “darn sarf” they might use a nice London Porter.  OK, stereotypes over!

Whatever your tipple, the best thing is, you’ll only need a small amount of beer, so you’ll have to drink the rest!

Balsamic vinegar, red and white wine vinegar

To remove limescale from electric kettles, fill to the minimum level with White Vinegar, add the same amount of cold water, and boil.  It’s a good idea to ventilate the room though because that Vinegar is pretty strong!  Let the water cool in the kettle, and pour out.  You’ll have to boil a couple of kettles afterwards with water to remove any odour – but this works really well, and is much cheaper than many of the commercial products

The fruit of the Horse chestnut tree. They are...

OK, so this isn’t strictly speaking a cleaning tip.  The best way to keep Spiders from making their home inside yours is to place Conkers (Horse Chestnut) at the corner of each room.  It really works! Alternatively you can buy “Conker Spray” from people such as Kleeneze which also works, but is more expensive.
