fedupandskint

Just a quick question to all you knowledgeable plyers out there!

Can you recommend a good bathroom cleaner that does the job. I used to use magic scrubs (good but v.wasteful); cif and now basics cream cleaner.

Is there anything better that is a bit more OS and long lasting, not lasts more than a few weeks cleaning sessions

Many thanks

Valli

you're going to hear lots of advice..I use cif (except I use own brand) on porcelain and bathroom spray (own brand) on the bath then bleach the loo and the plugholes...

Carlsberg :eek: they're a trigger food I think (for arthritis). I found I couldn't eat citrus. I also believe Rhubarb is bad...so acidic foods then...am I right Dusty?

fedupandskint I was with you and I did post - on the post where I told you about the cat LOL

cleaned bathroom bar floor and been to dump. It was SO funny - the men had some of those builders square bags (like you get sand in carried on cranes) full of wires and were trying to get them into a van...it was hysterical. Then they came and took my tv for me (phew cos I couldn't carry it)oh PC scanning too

apparently there are certain foods which will trigger arthritis in some people...or make it worse
but AFAIK there is no firm research on this - it's a while though since I looked into this because it was when I had rheumatoid.link
Personally I find damp weather worse...
sorry...
didn't mean to upset you but I though I knew where Dusty was coming from when she asked that!
I've had a google now...

Valli - sorry for the outburst, just stunned and amazed! And my language leaves a lot to be desired. It's just pushed me over the edge the way I'm feeling today. Looked up trigger food now, here they are, might as well starve myself then!:

If we all believed what they say is good / bad for use we all would starve ourselves, but big hugs to you, you sound like you need it.
