Cleaning
Removing Chewing Gum from Carpets and Fabrics Place an ice cube on the gum for ten minutes, then break it up by scraping it with a table knife. Removing Candle Wax from Carpets and Fabrics Fold
a paper towel, or a sheet of toilet paper, two or three times and place
it over the wax. Gently iron it with the iron set on low (synthetics)
and the wax will melt and be absorbed into the paper. Replace the paper
and continue ironing until all the wax has gone. Removing Blood Stains Soak
a cloth in hydrogen peroxide solution and rub the stain gently. For
really stubborn blood stains rub a paste of corn flour into the stain
and leave it in the sun. Removing Ball Pen Ink Wet
the ink with methylated spirits or aftershave, taking care to wet only
the small area where the ink lies. After a few minutes press a dry
paper towel or toilet paper onto the area. Repeat the whole procedure
until all the ink has been absorbed by the paper. Dusting in cracks and corners Use a dry paintbrush to get into tight corners and cracks. Removing rings around collars Rub
hair shampoo into the collar, just as when you wash your hair. After
ten minutes wash the garment as normal in the washing machine. Cleaning Bathrooms After
a steamy bath or shower bathrooms and their fittings are much easier to
clean, as the steam has already softened and loosened the dirt. Keeping baths clean To
avoid rings around the bath do not use oily preparations. Use bath
salts or liquid water softeners (sold for their relaxing properties) and
rinse the bath after draining out the water. Stainless steel surfaces Stainless steel sinks, work-tops and equipment can be made to sparkle by wiping with a vinegar soaked cloth. Cleaning Tips
