Tip of the Day: 08.04.2020

Cleaning materials have been – well, cleaned out from many supermarkets. You can turn to good old sodium bicarbonate for many household tasks; a solution of two tablespoons to a pint/500ml water makes a good, non-abrasive cleaner (and an excellent deodorising fridge cleaner). For a blocked sink, pour a teacup of bicarb down the plughole and the same amount of vinegar; let it stand and fizz for 10 minutes.
