Has any one tried cleaning a burnt pan with cola? I hear it works wonders!

First of all sorry if this is is the wrong place-feel free to move it.

I have a nice new wallpapered hallway, hubby put piture frame against wall while he sorted out hanging it- two weeks later picture was up but, varnish from frane has left a mark on wallpaper. I know my fault for having cream and wallpaper but walls not up to painting. Help

Thanks

mix together equal amounts of borax and baking soda
and use 2tbs in each wash

if you need rinse aid just use white vinegar

THANKS ETO3, I FOUND I WAS RUNNING OUT OF THE STUFF THIS MORNING AND THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE A GOOD SEARCH THROUGH THE POSTS FOR A RECIPIE!
PLEASE REMIND ME - BORAX IS FROM THE CHEMIST AND BAKING SODA IS THE SAME AS BAKING POWDER?
THANKS SUSAN.O.

can you make sugar soap - or do you need to buy it??? if it needs to be bought what else can I use to clean before painting???

thanks

You have to buy sugar soap but before you do try a solution of vinegar and hot water to clean it.

washing powder dissolved in luke warm water is excelent for cleaning gloss and other paintwork

cif cleaner the chalky stuff is okay for getting marks off.Also the new flash eraser pads are good ,I think Asda have their own cheaper versions of both these.

Don't forget to try a microfibre cloth especially if used in conjunction with some of the above ideas. I saw a pack of 3 in 'home bargains' for £1 yesterday. I think they are brilliant and use them for cleaning my whole house.
