I absolutely love finding weird and obscure cleaning tips to try out at home, so I've collected a few together here for your perusal!
Sometimes my shower curtain doesn't like to come along the rail - hair conditioner will help to lube it up. I usually use the cheap conditioner that comes with hair bleach.
Use a candle as a pincushion - this is particularly good for thicker fabrics, as the wax will help it slide into the fabric much easier.
My boyfriend's mug for tea is always covered in tea stains - it attracts them much worse than mine seems to. I get rid of the stains by rubbing them with half a lemon, which has been dipped in salt, and then I wash the cup.
I haven't tried this one yet, but allegedly a slice of white bread will get dirt and grub off painted or wallpapered walls. This reminds me of an episode of Frasier where they convince one of Niles' guests that bread is good for absorbing wine out of clothes.
I hate cleaning the oven, I just get these guys to do it :)
Cat hair on my furniture comes up easily using a rubber glove, as the hair sticks to it - on surfaces, I just wet the rubber glove slightly and it works the same.
Do you have any cleaning tips for me?
