When the door seals on your fridge-freezer turn black

Milton Sterilising Fluid. The black marks are mould, so a mild disinfectant is needed in order to kill the spores. Dilute the fluid according to instructions and wipe the seals, paying attention to the folds and allow to air-dry – no need to rinse. Repeat every month or so. If this doesn’t work, maybe it’sContinue reading “When the door seals on your fridge-freezer turn black”

Take note if you have an open fire

If you use your open fire often over the cooler months, you should have it cleaned every year. In theory you could do it yourself, but you risk damaging the lining, particularly in an older house. Contact The National Association of Chimney Sweeps (www.nacs.org.uk) for recommendations. Once it’s been swept, you might want to tryContinue reading “Take note if you have an open fire”

When your carbon steel wok develops a tacky surface…

Heat the wok over the hob until very hot, then remove from the heat. Add a tablespoon of salt, then about a teaspoon of vegetable oil. Using a scrunched up piece of kitchen towel, give the surface a good scrub (careful not to burn yourself) until it feels as if most of the gummy residueContinue reading “When your carbon steel wok develops a tacky surface…”

A few clever time saving tips

Sweep your front path or porch as part of your regular cleaning routine – trailing in leaves and mud on shoes will only create extra work.

Bring that mouldy tent back to life

If you’ve got the tent out for the first time since last year, and it’s flecked with mould and smells musty, don’t just throw it away. And don’t stick it in the washing machine either because if it has taped seams they’ll get damaged. What you need to do is erect the tent in theContinue reading “Bring that mouldy tent back to life”

You may not be planning a major autumn clean, but a rainy Sunday is a good time to declutter kitchen drawers. Locate all the duplicate peelers, corkscrews, tin openers and the like.
