Thanks galtizz, will this work on the outside of the fryer and lid, I don't have to many probs cleaning fryer bowl inside.Would it need to be a paste? When you said bio powder did u mean bicarb? Sorry to be a pain, as I said new to this. Thanks

I think she meant biological washing powder - this dissolves grease really well. If you don't have any in, cheap value bio washing powder is fine - I think about 60p from Tesco/Sainsburies, etc .

You could make a paste with this and spread it on the outside of your fryer, leave overnight and then wipe off - it should take all the grease away with it. You should be able to scrub away any stubborn bits with a dishcloth - the powder will have loosened them.

Thanks Penny-wise. I will have to buy some as I only use non bio due to kids and me suffering from eczema. However I have been reading through this board and am thinking of possibly trying other cheaper and skin friendly ways of washing. But I will definetley be trying this on my deep fat fryer.

Posted from Saint_Chris on the numerous uses of Avon SSS, some of these are useful for cleaning.

S-S-S is useful for loads of other things just look at this list.

USE’S FOR AVON’S ‘SKIN SO SOFT’
1. It’s a Bath Oil
2. It’s an after shower moisturiser
3. It can be used to remove make-up
4. It’s a Suntan Oil (no SPF)
5. Pour into the water of your foot spa to moisturise your feet while you relax them
6. It’s a hot oil treatment to soften nails
7. It’s a good massage oil for those overworked, sore muscles
8. It’s a good repellent for people and their pets
9. It helps relieve itching caused by insect bites and dry skin
10. Sponge around doors and windows to keep crawling bugs, flies and mosquitoes out
11. It’s a good wood cleaner, conditioner and polish for natural wood

29. Wipe down vinyl surfaces inside your car. Cleans them nicely, and removes any smoking odour
30. Extra benefit - while using it to clean, etc, it leaves your hands soft and smooth - unlike other harsh cleaners
31. Fleas on animals? Use 1/2 ox of ‘SSS’ bath oil mixed with 16oz of water. Spray or bath animals. Leaves their coat soft and silky
32.Try the sss woodland liquid soap for cleaning the cooker works a treat. I also use it on the wood floor in the hall if it has rubber heel marks on takes them straight off.

I've been gonig through these pages and some of the tips are going to prove really helpful to me in the future. Just a quick question though where can I buy squirty / spray bottles from? I haven't seen any anywhere and my partner and I were just saying that we would like to mix up some of these solutions and keep them and label the bottles. But we just can't think where to get the bottles from without having to buy the products if you see what I mean.

Sorry If this has been posted before.

:hello: Hi MonkeyGirl, welcome to the boards.

You can buy :eek: sprayers from wilkos or other gardening type shops, just buy the ones they use for plants. OR (free option [img]http://smileys.!!!!!!/cat/4/4_1_204.gif[/img] ) just take the top of your flash or Mr Muscle spray when it is empty, rinse it out and re-fill it.

I'll second Galtizz's second option

:hello: thanks for the welcome in some ways I wish I hadn't joined it seems a tad addictive ;-).

We do re-use the bottles but we don't buy them very often hence why I thought I'd ask how to get some without buying the product. Thank you for telling me where I can get them next time I go into town I'll look in wilkos for some. Thanks again

Probably a daft question - but what is an elderflower and where do you find it? I'd like to make the Cordial receipt courtesy of Ted.

I have just checked, Tesco sell it online.

Neither my local Asda, nor my local village Co-op sell washing soda or distilled white wine vinegar. (Either that or they hide it very well.)

Given that bus fares into town can often cost me more than p&p does anyone know of reasonable on-line sources for these?
