| 457989 | 2006-05-27 00:55:00 | Agree with pctek regarding the dishwasher but failing that a paste of baking soda and a little bit of water is the best . Does the job quickly, efficiently, cheaply and doesn't leave a nasty smell or taste in the cup afterwards, nor does it scratch . Baking soda cleans stains and marks off heaps of other things as well, including benches, shoes, plastic appliances, etc . A friend uses dishwash powder to clean her cups but I would rather put them in the machine itself . What I want to know is how to get those sticky price tags off containers, jars, etc . DesolveIt is great but my bottle is empty and not everyone sells it . And it is a bit pricey . Don't want to use turps, meths, etc . |

Agree do not use turps, kero, but maybe white spirits . Or Oil-Flo-141, that's what I use to get sticky labels off books, works a treat and got a beautiful fragrance . From Titan Labs . California . :2cents: As for the tea-cups, haven't anything more to add except yes elbow grease does often make the critical difference . :D |

It will also clean those pesky teaspoons if you leave em soaking in some disolved Jif for a while rather than scrubbing them. disclaimer: the information provided in this post has not been verified... I asked the house cleaner :D |

| 457993 | 2006-05-27 02:29:00 | Isopropyl Alcohol available from your Chemist will remove labels etc, with no smell, tell the chemist you want it to clean tape player heads, some people use it for home bake so sometimes they don't like to sell it to you if you look dodgey. | zqwerty (97) | ||
| 457994 | 2006-05-27 02:39:00 | LOL every time I buy it they want name address ID etc, must look dodgey. :D | mark c (247) | ||
| 457995 | 2006-05-27 02:47:00 | LOL every time I buy it they want name address ID etc, must look dodgey. :D You should try buying Panadene... go through the ID drama... spell my very long name and address then the chemist tells me they only have the 'jumbo' boxes. No problem selling me enough to keep me headache free (or happy) for the next year in one go :thumbs: |

Nah you say you want it to clean thermal pads off stock HSFs. And you can buy it at DSE too. |

| 457997 | 2006-05-27 04:39:00 | But you'll have to tell Dick Smiths that you want it for homebake. | Graham L (2) | ||
| 457998 | 2006-05-27 05:00:00 | But you'll have to tell Dick Smiths that you want it for homebake. How come I don't git no homebaking around here? Following GL's logic I guess next time I get a headache I should head for DSE, I have a feeling some of their staff are on good drugs :D |
