    Default Things that make life easier!

    I have just found a new best friend!!
    It is one of those wash mitts for cars, they sell them in most supermarkets!!
    I know sad, but a lot of people have very large tvs and glass units to put them on!
    i've used glass cleaner etc and it is hard work, not with this it's not!
    I've just used it upstairs on louvre doors, computer etc and honestly it makes life easier!!
    Have you found something that makes life a whole lot easier??

    Thanks for the tip - those louvre doors collect so much dust and it's not easy to get them cleaned.

    just been telling my dad about it. I bought mine in asda for £1!
    I'm sure they sell them in tesco but honestly it was so much easier.
    I just hoovered the mitt with the pipe every so often whilst using it and you can always wash it through!
    I hope you know the type i mean!

    Dont tempt me!
    But it does obliterate sticky handprints and art work off the walls and floors..it removed lipstick off my bedroom carpet (thanks for the picture Iona) when the carpet cleaner said no way!
    It does the bathroom from top to bottom and even has a window attachment...and freshings up the carpets...and does the laminate and lino and the inside of my cooker!
    And it exterminates spiders too!

    Things that need washed in our house fall between the catorgories- steam clean, dishwasher, washing machine, throw in the bath...or ignored!
    Havent had too many disasters...but those noisy kids toys with batteries are nice and quiet if you get them on the right washing cycle (it shorts the electronics).

    I bought a shark steam cleaner of ebay for a fraction of the price they are on QVC and I have to say it is brilliant. Really good at cleaning our gloss kitchen which is assualted daily by 3 kids and 2 dogs.

    You use a steam cleaner in the house???!!!!

    Holy something! (pesky profanity filter...) Your houses must be in some state before using a steam cleaner makes them cleaner rather than dirtier! I ken when using one in the byres, that you end up wearing most of what you blast off, and certainly get wet enough!

    And the stink of diesel fumes in the house must be something chronic, or do you just leave the steam cleaner itself outside and run the hose into the house?

    Domestic steam cleaners use electricity, and are very clean and easy to use. No nasty chemicals polluting the atmosphere!

    Agree with you - steam cleaning is the answer to most things, all it costs once you have bought the machine is electricity, no smells and no residues left behind, all clean and sparkling.

    Two things that I could not do without, 1. my Walking Sticks, & 2. My Grab Stick.

    Both are essential in my day to day life and life without them would be really a lot harder for me.

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.
