Is there a section for "good tips" (household type)?

[Dave7]

I have a favourite (much used) brandy/Cognac balloon glass which for some reason has gathered a ring of what looked like lime scale......on the outside.
I could not shift it.
A quick "google" advised a mix of water, detergent and malt vinegar.
Did that. Less than one minute and bingo! As clean and shiny as a clean shiny thing.

We have had a handy tips thread, but nothing wrong with another.

Instead of walking to the laundry basket with your discarded clothes, just leave them on the floor where you take them off. They reappear a couple of days later freshly washed and ironed.

This new technology is amazing, you have to wonder what they will think of next.

Same with dirty crockery and cutlery.

Also, a full rubbish bin has some form of TARDIS type device in it as shortly after it is full, the bin appears empty and a blag bin bag appears outside on rubbish collection day

While you are out dont forget to buy some Brasso for your chips.

And dogs. Apparently it's one of the few things that will shift the smell of fox poo.

Blimey, I didn't realise you guys still lived with your mums.

Never fix anything when the wife's at home, this also applies to bike related deliveries

Dogs clean up brass?

You'd be amazed.
I clean my wellies on a wire-haired terrier.

I really must stop reading the word "brass" as "bras"

I thought Brass was the young lady in the fishnet stockings and short skirt who stands on the street corner each night and seems to know lots of motorists
