how do i get mould out???

by neetsComment Published at 14:4014:402 comments2 comments6 Visits6 VisitsReport

hi, I got a beautiful doona cover set from my ex brother in-law but he had it in the car when he went 4Wdriving and it got wet, it had a few mould stains on it and I'm not sure how long they have been there, I have tried soaking it in nappy san that didnt work so I tried washing it on a soak load and sprayed it with heaps of prewash stain remover.. but still didnt work.

I not sure about bleaching it cos I think that will distroy it.

any ideas? PLEASE!!!

Thanks in advance

Help! Mould on clothes

by kseersComment Published at 15:0415:042 comments2 comments5 Visits5 VisitsReport

Long story, but when I cleaned the kids room last week I made some yuk discoveries - largely involving mandarines left in the bedroom and gone mouldy - well, one of them was on a pair of shorts.  I have washed the shorts several times - with hot washes and cold washes, but I cannot get the mould off - any ideas anyone??  It is little black circles on the leg of the shorts.  If I can't get them off I'll have to bin them...

white shirts now red!

by ajv00Comment Published at 00:1700:174 comments4 comments31 Visits31 VisitsReport

On Saturday my partner washed on of my red tops with some white t-shirts,  the dye ran.  We now have 3 pink t-shirts.  LOL

I have been soaking them in bleach, but it is not working.  Anyone got any tips on how I can make them white again?

cheapest and best ways for cleaning

by anniebabeComment Published at 15:1115:111 comments1 comments17 Visits17 VisitsReport

cheapest and best ways for cleaning that are helthier for your children and are not harsh chemicals are vinegar and methylated spirits

vinegar can be diluted in a spray bottle with water or used direct. i put it in my steamer to steam and clean my floor it cleans the tiles and a tiler actually recommended it to me. i also have been told by other older cirxle of friends that use it  for the toilet.

methylated spirits i use for mirrors and glass and wipe with a newspaper afetr to get a perfect  clean affect.

i also clean down my kitchen sink with it it cleans the stainless steel and disinfects at the same time. put a little on an old rag. best results are old white t shirts or singlets.

cheers annie

Advanage Wonder Cleaner

by sleeplessinilComment Published at 07:2507:250 comments0 comments66 Visits66 VisitsReport

OK, so don't lauch, but I bought this cleaner from a door to door salesman, and haven't been disapointed. You diltute it and but it in a spray bottle and it truly cleans just about everything, and it's safe around pets and kids!! It was a little pricey at $35, but I just weighed in what I would normally spend throughtout the year on cleaners, and this one is all purpose!! If you google it, the website will come up..We purchased it in Apple and it was worth it..Just wanted to share!!

Hey Guys!

Okay, Libby24 and I have finally set a date and time for this presentation thing. It will be at my house (I'm in Kelmscott), on Thurs 27th March (this Thurs) at 10am. If there is anyone else who is interested in seeing a presentation on the tea-tree products I use, just let me know, as I will need to know numbers beforehand. You will not be required to buy anything - it's information only. I already have a few people coming, and just want to see if anyone else is interested
