It's here on Old Style to provide the support we all need and to make the whole…
Removing Stains
Hi All, I am trying to remove two separate stains. Does anyone have any tips? 1. A water stain on a fabric car seat - I have attempted to remove this via a steam mop to no avail. 2. A little stain that is rusty coloured on a white shirt, I'm not sure what it is. I have tried pouring vinegar on the stain and then placing it…

Good morning, it's a fine start here. Yesterday was grey and windy with a bit of rain. I went to the cs yesterday with 3 carrier bags of stuff, but they said they weren't accepting any donations for a while because they were running out of room. We've taken a lot of stuff to this particular shop in the last few weeks, is…
The War against plastic waste

We recently received our National Trust magazine which came packaged in an oute wrapper which said: "I am 100% compostable and contain Potato Starch.…

Morning all from sleep deprived Mehefinland Been awake since before 5 - i blame the crows with their hobnail boots on thundering along the roof. One downside of living in a bungalow !

Paraffin smell in carpet
I recently broke a Galileo thermometer and the internal liquid leaked onto the carpet. I was on it immediately and because of this there is no stain. I am thankful for that. I do occasionally get a whiff from where the liquid leaked. It smells of paraffin and from what I felt and saw of the liquid I don't think it was…
