Phone Guiness up, that bloke must only be about 3 inches tall.

Use tomato ketchup for cleaning brass.

Try toothpaste too.

When using an oxo cube, don't break open the foil wrapper first, then crumble.. Crumble it first, then break open the foil.

Big 5l tub of citrus degreaser from screw fix about £6 - just a capful in a spray bottle of water, good grief, this cleans oil of anything. Cleaned up my 16 year old car's engine bay like something else - spray on, rinse off. Fab for cleaning cassettes and chains on a MTB (remove said parts first). Wish I'd discovered this stuff before now.

Got black mould on the silicone mastic round your bath/shower/ sink? Get some loo paper and twist into a "rope". Soak it with Domestos and press it onto the mouldy joint. Then mush it up. Leave for a few hours...….and bye-bye mould.

I triple guarantee it.

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.

Have you been drinking cheap hooch again.

I've got this urge to stick that in a vice and smack the end with a hammer.

I can vouch for that. It's much more effective than those largely useless mould remover sprays.

The 'HG' range of products are very effective, especially the mould remover.

Apart from needing a very large vice, it wouldn't do much good, it's been certified as FFE (Free From Explosives)
