    I have just had a flyer from Daxon (clothes and household items )and with any order they will send a free steam cleaner! That must be a money saving tip! Not sure how effective it would be as I have not used one but previous posts from readers seem to be satified with them!

    If you pop a couple of alka selzer into your loo for a couple of hours, give it a quick brush, it gets rid of limescale and grot from under the waterline. This may work in baths too but i haven;t tried it myself
  • Aldi are doing a hand held steam cleaner in the next few days for a modest sum. http://uk.aldi.com/special_buys/productnl_339.html
  • If you already have a wallpaper stripper you can get attatcments from B&Q fairly cheaply to use it as a steam cleaner.
  • Wouldn't using a steamer be unsanitary, what with the particles of what was on the toilet being blasted into the surrounding air with steam?

    The steam would kill the germs.

    anyone know where to find one of these?

    p.s I checked B&Q but couldn't see one
  • i use "bar keepers friend" on my tiles, i put some on a toothbrush and it brings the grout up lovely. i love this product but i can scratch so read the label carefully.
  • I can second the steam cleaner. I invested in one from ebay with attachments and there doesn't seem much I can't do with it! The floors are done in a fraction of the time, kitchen, bathroom (tiles included!), toilet, dog bowl, upholstery. It cleans so easily, which is what I need with a messy toddler around! Would thoroughly recommend one!

    A third for the steam cleaner/wallpaper stripper, we got one from Argos (look under wallpaper stripper) it was only about £25 and came with several attachements. I used it on Sunday night to steam clean the large rug in my living room and it came up like new. Going to give the loo a clean with it tomorrow.
