Teaching my mum the oldstyle ways

Options
Newbie poster so hope I'm doing this right!

Just wanted to thank you all for the tips about bicarbonate of soda. I've got the week off work so decided it was about time my kitchen had a spring clean and my mum came over to help. Now, my mum knows a thing or two about cleaning (and despairs of me!) but she couldn't believe how quickly a bicard paste shifted the sticky marks in the bottom of my cupboards. Can't believe I'm giving her tips! It also worked a treat on the oven glass which I've tried in vain to clean loads of times. Thanks!

    Hi Marie,

    Thanks for the welcome. I love white vinegar as well, and of course have a bottle of Stardrops!
