Cleaning carpets
Does anyone know the best way to clean carpets? We have just moved into a new house where there is carpet in EVERY room - even the shed has fitted carpet!

Cleaning curtains?
Hello old stylers, I'm looking for some tips on cleaning curtains. We were very lucky that when we moved in, the old owners left the curtains. However, I am not at all confident on cleaning wool and velvet curtains!! Only one set is long enough that I'd be happy to risk putting in the washing machine, and it's not a fancy…

I'm making elderflower cordial
The elderflower is out, so a few of us went elderflower picking yesterday evening in the sunshine. Here is some of it, steeping with sugar water, lemon juice and rind, on its way to becoming cordial. I'll keep it in the freezer so it could also be used as sorbet. We'll be attempting fizzy wine with the rest, but previous…

However they are really very comfortable. Of course I will have to replace them before too long but in the meantime I might just get loose…
