  • THANKYOU for the shower cleaning suggestions people :)

    I will try with fairy liquid & scourer first as bleach and strong cleaners make me feel like I'm going to pass out, just can't tolerate them. Although I have just discovered some mould destroyer spray in the bottom of my cleaning supplies box so I'll try that if I get desperate. If it's too much like hard work I'll invest in the limelite stuff ;)

    Going to try the white vinegar on the shower head thing now then first thing tomorrow I'll get scrubbing. I found toothbrushes in A$da, 2 for 10p which I'll use for cleaning :) Have put this job off for long enough!!
