I hope you are still enjoying the hints and tips I have been posting , Its easier to fix than replace , I think so anyway xx
Toilet bowls come up shiny when cleaned with old, flat Coke or Pepsi. Leave overnight to dissolve limescale
ink pen stain: To get an ink stain out, spray ultra-hold hairspray on the stain, let it dry, then wash like normal. ( Don't be afraid of putting too much hairspray on the stain.)
run vinegar through a dishwasher once a month and this prevents hard deposits from getting a head start.
Marks inside cups and mugs are caused by the metal cutlery abrading the glazing coating the service. Try an old fashioned remedy from an old fashioned woman - toothpaste!
ants I have found that ants will not cross a chalk line drawn on any surface. Of course if you live in a rainy area where ants are a problem, you must re-draw the chalk lines each time it rains. But it really works to keep ants away from your home --

Oh yes I really enjoy the tips and hints that you are sending Weemam, they will surely come in handy for us and I shall be sending them to my family. Also in regards to ants if you have some cheap talcum powder and sprinkle that where the ants are they will go away completely,.

With all these grand tips pal, you are saving people lots of money as you rightfully say it is better to fix then replace, we tend to be very wasteful and rather than taking the time to fix something it's easier to go out and buy new! Thanks as always for sharing x

Thanks! I wonder why the ants will not cross the chalk line?

Nope, I am not tired of them at all!
Heres one for you
If you have ant problems and want to have a more natural way of getting rid of them, try sprinkling MalOMeal around their ant bed, or if they are in the house sprinkle a little where they abide. Works like a charm
