Stain removal tip.
« on: April 17, 2013, 08:37 PM »
 Here's a tip that works every time  for removing the yellow stains from cookers, worktops, plates etc. 

Just place a few drops of sterilising fluid over the stain and push it around with your finger to make sure the stain is covered. Wait for a couple of minutes, then wipe off and you should find the stain has gone. With plates and utensils just place them in the sink with a good squirt of the liquid then fill with water until everything's covered. Leave to soak for a while and they will come out spotless.

Great, these tips are never enough. What is sterilising fluid?

In my case, I find lidl bleach works fine on kitchen top counters.

I am told that Dettol Mould & Mildew is very effective.

tried, didn't find it to be very effective, but then again, there may be several strengths?

Mostly used for sterilizing baby feeding bottles, (if my memory serves me well ;D)

Hi Guys.

"Milton" is the most popular brand and as Les said, it is very often used to sterilise baby bottles, but as the name implies, it will sterilise anything. I just buy a generic brand as it's much cheaper than "Milton".

I don't know how I discovered this way of removing curry stains, but it has never let me down yet. Just a couple of minutes on a stain and it lifts off straight away. No scrubbing required. I hope some of you try it and report back to here to let us know what you think.

Suggest you don't use it to remove stains from your clothes though as it contains bleach :o :o  A good spot of Fairy rubbed in, left and then washed normally does the job a treat  ;)
