What's your magic cleaning tip?
Comments (23)Haha CCI, it's good to know I'm not the only one happy to use such a convoluted description of a handy shower tool. I don't think there'd be any issue with bicarb in the front loader, although I use it in a top loader with a liquid detergent. It just boosts the power of the detergent, which is why you're able to use so much less of it. The vinegar works as a softener, but doesn't leave any vinegar smell. Honestly, since doing this my towels and face cloths have been softer than ever. It took a few washes to get the full effect, but it was noticeable from the first one. Vinegar and bicarb also help keep the machine fresh and clean, as well as the plumbing, potentially saving problems down the track. My Dyson recently blew up, it was well out of warranty. There are TWO filters you need to clean, not one... I'd only been doing the one, for almost 8 years! Anyway, they sent me a code to cover postage costs and I boxed it up and sent it off to them. They had it back to me very quickly with a brand new replacement motor (and filters), which has a new warranty on it. It cost me almost $90. Fantastic service. Every single part is replaceable, I love that. What a shame more companies don't have such great service and ethic....See MoreSilicone shower screen
Comments (13)Mould will grow on almost any surface - even glass, it just needs the right environmental factors - heat, humidity and a food source - body and soap fats... sorry for being yucky, but it's true, they grow mould on glass plates in a lab, so it's not surprising to find mould on any other surface - silicone etc included. There are solutions - use a mix of oil of cloves diluted - check Shannon Lush suggests:- If it's a hard surface use 1/4 teaspoon of Oil of Cloves per litre of water, put it in a spray bottle, lightly mist on and leave overnight and wipe off. In grout, remove the grout, treat the area with Tea Tree Oil and vinegar and re-grout. Same for silicone. As for Silicone and frameless glass... The problem is the different types of silicone have varying degrees of acid in them and will 'etch' the glass, causing 'fogging' between the laminated layers of laminated glass. Hence the reason for suggesting not to silicone the glass to the wall. However, as the fogging usually only comes in around 3mm to 5mm the depth of the silicone should be about that to form a proper seal. You may be able to apply the silicone - neutral cure - clear to the inside of the glass only - bit tricky and not let it get behind the glass - inside the shower itself to close the gap, alternatively, you can use a strip of aluminium to form a sealed edge - sort of defeats the purpose of frameless glass.

Comments (1)I'm guessing this is the new self cleaning windows. Perfect for a double story house were you just can't get to the windows but I agree it's not necessary for a shower screen. You can just get them sealed, then you just wipe with a microfibre cloth....See MoreChanging a shower head
Comments (4)you'll need a plumber to check the existing pipes but you may be able to access inside the wall from an adjoining room (easier and cheaper to replace plasterboard than tiles) and be able to add a new shower with a reachable shower rose as well as a handheld but i hope you have a few spare tiles or can steal some from a less obvious place ...best of luck with the plumber but research suitable new showers with handheld and adding the plumber's time and repairs expect at least $2-$3 thousand but well worth it for a more comfortable bathroom...See MoreLorraine Cobcroft
