Having a break and a cuppa as ready to throttle DD in her room :mad: . She will quite happily let me do the lot while she prats about, and now she's thrown a strop because I've abandoned her, and she wants a friend round tomorrow who can only come if her rooms clean. Now she's stopped for a sandwich :rolleyes: .
OH just got up and I think he's gone down the allotment to get potatoes and escape the atmosphere (and thats after I took 4 Kalms at once)
Well if she's having food best I get something as well.
bumbles away muttering something about crisps .......Mortgage, paid off!0 -
Ok panic over - let the iron cool and managed to pick off most of the melted material and then used an iron cleaning cloth I found under the sink when tidying up last week (thanks to the flying!1) and its all sparkly again ready for a HHI!!
have now cleaned all the windows and front door glass and the 3 large mirrors

and dusted the bedroom, lightshade and curtain track!!Peace will be mine

Try heating iron up and wiping off with water on a bit of old towel/tea towel if there's a lot.
Let it cool - try WD40, nail polish remover (both of these are flammable!) on cloth or wipe with water and Cif cream (or similar) - depends on your soleplate.
