Need some advice cleaning wise.

I have a old tape mark on the front of my freezer, don't want to strub it as it will scratch any suggestions on how to remove the mark.

Moggins, would you be able to put basic info such as the definitions of 27 Fling Boogie and Dailies and also abbreviations (DD, SIL etc) into the first post each week? It would be even better to have a clearly marked link to another post to save the MSE server from having to store dozens of copies of the same text.

Many people ask exactly the same questions and get the same answers, so providing a glossary would help to save a bit of traffic on the boards, and get the newbies flying even more quickly. You can always cut and paste from the previous week, so it wouldn't be too much extra work.

Tape mark use blutak or nail polish remover or WD40.. whichever you ahev to hand.. bit of a soaking and it should come off no problem!

Re the plants. First try removing the top 3-4 inches of soil and adding new stuff.. this gets rid of spores and the fungus should stop. Failing that some athletes foot spray is meant to work.. fungus isn't it?! lol .. repotting with new soil should work too. It is caused by overwatering and too warm conditions providing optimum comditions for the fungal growth.

What do you guys use to 'shine' your sinks? I mean i clean mine every time i wash up but it never really 'shines' you just see lots of water marks! lol

Also what is the best thing for cleaning toilets? I have just moved into a new place and it looks like the poeple before me never used to flush the toilet! It now has a nasty looking yellow mark round the bottom where the water mark is. I have been bleeching and scrubbing it every night but it still looks the same! Anyone any ideas?

Afternoon, just got in, I haddn't seen the list but pleased it's dining room today as I don't have one entrance hall must have been a jinx as took the cardboard for recyling (nearst place 9 mile away) after appointment today so you can get through the door now We eat in the kitchen which was done yesterday Did some dailies this morning before went out, hall cobweb free (DP hates them)

Soda crystals in my local store are near the Vanish stuff etc, just down from fabric conditioner http://www.soda-crystals.co.uk/images/sodacrystalsbag.jpg looks like that! Our kids don't finish for half term until the 16th!! Didn't realise they were so different. Maybe teacher training days at yours. Snow forecast for here tomorrow too, I can't stand the stuff or that they usually close the school but the kids love it.

Toilet have you tried an overnight soaking of vinegar ? I use Bicarb or Borax if really nasty! Sink, water marks are fine as long as it's clean, but stardrops and a microfibre cloth does a good job on mine.

So here goes what's left to do

Rest of dailies

Entrance, hallway
[STRIKE]1. Clear away any cobwebs, dust [/STRIKE]and wipe down front door
2. Clean any dirty marks off walls, clean light switch.
[STRIKE]3. Dust any furniture in hallway [/STRIKE]
4. Hoover floor
5. [STRIKE]Straighten and sort coats[/STRIKE] and outdoor shoes

Add clean stairs and banister to that as it leads straight up the stairs

Nighttime stuff (inc laundry away)

DS1 is upstairs having his PC time, DS2 in kitchen playing with his beads so will get cracking soon.
