Hi all! Quick (and I hope easy) question...

FlyLady recommends 'Windex' for shining tiles and sink once they've been cleaned, but it's not available in the UK - from my research I gather that's because it's an ammonia-based product. You can get it on Amazon or eBay at the princely sum of about £20...
:eek:

So can anyone recommend a product that I can wipe on/off wall tiles, kitchen sink etc after cleaning so I can get that "hotel-fresh" shine?

Thanks! :money:

Evening all

cloakroom cleaned
hoovering started then friend popped in so I've been drinking tea and chatting.

I need to do a couple of emails, finish hoovering, get DS3 to bed and tidy up the kitchen - simple.

I use stardrops - doesn't need to be wiped off. Also do one with ammonia - not sure if that should be rinsed or not. See Home Bargains.

Would white vinegar work? It should cut through any grease or residue! Or even simpler, just dry off with old towel / rags so you don't get water marks as they dry!


How's this for a poem. MIL and FIL haven't been out really these last couple of years, but recently they had a "date" (aww) at a restaurant I thought they'd like (and they loved it). I went last night, and bought a voucher for them. So this is what I've written in the card:

Here is a small meal ticket
We couldn't be looked after better
So we thought we'd treat you also
To dinner at the Olive & Feta!

:rotfl:

I hope they like it

Just done a good tidy round downstairs, so in theory we can spend the day in the garden (I have more bedding to wash though). Just having a decaf brew, then an early night for me!

Ooh thanks for that! I've tried Stardrops before but wasn't impressed with the overall cleaning/streak-free finish, although have a feeling it wasn't the ammonia one.

Tried both - Neither bring anying up to a *sparkle* (imagine 'hotel-clean') and white vinegar stinks. I know lots of people here love it for lots of jobs, but I can't get past the smell of vinegar, even after it's dried.

Shining can usually be achieved simply by drying and buffing without chemicals. Are you dilluting the vinegar enough? about 1 par to 10 of water with a dash of washing up liquid, no need to rinse and should not smell much. Donot allow to air dry, dry with an old teatowel or a glass cleaning cloth.

Hoovering finished, just ned to do another 10 minutes in the kitchen then bed.
