    Our shower curtain gets shoved in the washer every 7 - 10 days (there's 5 of us so the shower gets used a lot). It definitely stops the bottoms going orange.

    Pity there isn't such an easy way to stop the black mould on the grouting!!

    Last time I attacked the grouting with neat bleach and my cleaning toothbrush. It worked well.

    A week or 2 ago I also had a go at the silicone around the bathroom and kitchen sinks.
    The time before we paid someone to do it.
    I scraped off the old stuff and then it was just like icing the sink. He he...

    This afternoon. I jet washed the conservatory to declutter it of the winter dirt. Husband went round with a microfiber cloth wiping down.
    We improved the look. It is 18' by 12' approx and goes right across the back of our house.

    Well decluttered my chest of drawers today.

    I went through every drawer and have chucked loads of holey stockings, old knickers in to the rag bag for the charity shop.

    And because I am hoarder looked in the cupboard and found 3 packs of pants !!!!!! So no need to buy any more for a while.

    Also emptied my laundry basket and found that I have more pairs of stockings then I thought I had. And loads of bras as well!!!!

    Was a bit naughty went to sainburys and bought two pairs of shoes and a nice summer cardy. Which was cheaper than some other places. But it also allowed me to get a 8p off per litre of fuel. As I was going to buy the stuff anyway makes no difference. One pair of shoes was only £5.40!!!!

    Yours

    Calley
