Hi, I'm new to flying too, so thought I'd give it a go this week. Hope you don't mind me lumping in? Most of the time I'm on top of things but work's been really hectic this last 2 months and things have slipped. Can you tell me what's the best thing to clean and disinfect my fridge with?0

Welcome turra
I just use a bowl of soapy water or multi surface cleaner and then dry as you go.
Will be interesting to see what others suggest.

The fridge I have a squirty bottle which I filled with 1 part stardrops 10 parts water.. and I clean just about everything with that and a scrubby sponge.
The kettle I descale with my favourite tool.. the knife!!!! and just keep rinsing out all the gunge and bits and grot until I don't get any more off.. I have a coil thing in mine which collects lime scale as well.. that's pretty good.. just scrunch it under the tap every so often to rid it of deposits and it is good as new.
The kettle.. mines fancy and has a 'de-calcify' button.. failing that I've been known to put a little bit of toilet cleaner in it.. just make sure it is VERY well rinsed before use.. might need to dust mine before cleaning it though!!
Toria.. we had a birthday party for DS1 on Saturday and today I've been out pink shopping for my new wittle baby cousin!! She was born at 7:46am today.. 6lb 13oz asnd called Emily.. still no pics.. but I have a little something for her!.. I'll have to get it posted tomorrow. My headache is fine.. but I must get those specs in for repair tomorrow.LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0
