I won't buy a highchair unless the straps do come off.. it is obvious they will be coaed in everything so need washing I can't understand why the manufacturers are so stupid they fix them in place.

I was given one highchair and the straps were fixed.. I cut them off with a stanley knife and used reins that clipped to the D rings and put them in the washer once a week.

I can't find which thread I found the recipe on but can someone please tell me what proportions / combinations I need to make a multi purpose cleaner?

I have just bought a 3kg bag of bicarb of soda and a 5lt container of white vinegar (total cost of £5.84 which I think is a good price) and I'm not sure of the 'recipe' now!

Doh!

Oh, I also have Stardrops and Zoflora in the cupboard.

I'd love to know how much to use for cleaning drains - ie., how many tbsps baking soda vs ml vinegar!

I have just done our bathroom one as it starts to slow down when draining sometimes.

I put half a cup of bicarb down, then half a cup of white vinegar then poured a kettle of boiling water down and it did the trick.

As per the link below.

If you are pouring vinegar down the drain, just use value brown [malt] vinegar, not the clear "white" one, unless of course you have a cheap source of clear vinegar

Hi sb44, where did you get the 3kg bag of bicarb & 5 lt of white vinegar please? I have been looking for larger quantities of both those items.

1. Blocked Drains Pour about 16 tablespoons of bicarbonate of soda down the sink and then pour in about 120ml of white distilled vinegar. Put the plug in for a couple of minutes as the 2 chemicals will fizz. Rinse through with boiling water.

Was looking online and found the above so hope you find it useful.

Thank you

Hi

I bought them from a Chinese Supermarket after seeing a link on another thread.

The bicarb of soda was £3.60 after VAT was added and the vinegar appears to be VAT free according to my receipt and was £2.25 for 5 litres.

They had Sarsons white vinegar which was £4.35 but as I was only buying to use as a cleaner I went for the cheaper ' Ellsey's ' vinegar which is the same strength ie 5% but only £2.25.

Google your area for chinese supermarkets, I never knew there was one near us until a couple of years ago, then again it is on an industrial estate so I had no reason to go there before.
