You should do what I do and make the servants use silver polish to clean their teeth :wacky:
I have no idea what cleans what as I have servents :p
 
Basically the oven turns into a kiln (about 400-500 deg C) and burns all the fat and turns it into ash leaving it clean after you brush away the ash.
But it doesn't clean the shelves and shelf supports, or the fan, or the lamp glass, or the glass door!
 
Pump tubing (used) is good tying up plants or bamboo canes if you have 100cm like me!!
 
Lemon juice is a great blonde hair highlighter .
Squeeze into a bottle half lemon juice/half warm water .
Pour on hair - comb through - sit in sun till hair crispy n dry .
Wash off n dry your hair. See slight lift in hair colour :joyful:
Even better if you are an ashen or honey blonde base colour naturally .

Clean grubby 1p and 2p coins - soak in cola for couple of hours.
Rinse thoroughly - see your money really sparkle afterwards . :D

Knew a hairdresser who always had gleaming mirrors
Yet inky hands - yep she used old newspaper .
They always gleamed and reflected far better than my
mirrors did .
Something in the ink did it better she always declared o_O

Aaawww that's bit harsh............ on the silver polish;) As said by my neighbours at Downton Abbey,one said "servants are human beings too, another said " but only on their day off" :p

I know most people would use their nails, but if you've got short nais and you want to hull strawberries push a straw up from the bottom and the stalk pops out.I've seen strawberry hullers in cookshops but this works just as well and it's cheaper. Talking of useless gadgets I've just seen a maching for cutting baby tomatoes & grapes in half - really........
