I was feeling a bit antsy and there wasn't a thread yet at 22 past midnight.

Have a great day everyone. May you and the animals of the DT who like sunbathing get some sun.

Shrinking underpants at my age and stage in life I do not needπŸ«„πŸ»

Edit: Have aluminium framed windows that are infested with mould from the previous people who lived here. It's been a battle to keep it under control. So far I've used Ajax Professional (stinks but good product), White King Mould and Soap Scum Remover (Stinks slightly less but good product) and they've been the best. But Elder minipeeler hates the smell of bleach and chlorine, gives him headaches. Hates swimming pools for the same reason, any amount sets him off. So recently when I went to the farmers market I found a product which has clove oil and eucalyptus and doesn't upset elder. It wasn't cheap but I'm desperate enough to try it, and it works ok in my bathroom so I'm going to try the window frames on the weekend. I'll let you know how it goes.

@Seagoon_ @melbaboutown They also start fraying in fewer washes than they used to. And the elastic on them goes sooner too.

As for window cleaning, my tip is, if you want a streak-free finish, try using scrunched up newspaper instead of a cloth.
