My wife and I have very different styles of washing up in the kitchen. I have worked in catering loads, so my style tends to be quite anal when it comes to actually putting things to wash in the first place. I scrape plates and stack things neatly. My wife just puts things near the sink, even if there's food on them. Sometimes, and here's where we're both guilty, food gets down into the sink, and although we have one of those filter things that only let the water through and not the food, it gets clogged up, and getting the food out seems more of a hassle than just letting some of it drain through down into the depths of our sink. Now, this is fine ...  Read the complete review

I use one of those hair trap thingy's in the bath, you know, the little strainer type thing that sits over your plughole to stop all the hair going down and blocking the drains. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work completely as I still find myself pulling hair from the plughole, and lately I noticed that the water was very slow to drain out of the bath, so decided to try something to stop it. Like any product of this type, price was the deciding factor for me. This was on special offer when I bought it, making it £1 less than any other brands available, and quite frankly when it comes to cleaning and that sort of thing, I'd rather save my pennies. That £1 ...  Read the complete review

We had a new bathroom last July, and we are just getting to the stage where things are not looking quite as pristine, and we had noticed that the bath/shower plug hole was starting to drain away more slowly. The pipework was all new last year, so whatever gunk down there belongs to us, and it most likely belongs to me being the only female in the house. The boys all have shaved heads, so I get the blame. I try to be really good and do catch a lot of my hair before it goes into the drain, but I seem to have been moulting more lately. The water was still draining away, but we were finding it to take longer on a daily basis. My husband was keen to take the ...  Read the complete review

When I have had blocked up drains you tend to notice straight away. Recently I had a problem in two areas of the house and the first was the bathroom. I had this terrible lingering smell and it was a sewer smell and I knew that nothing I had put down the sink could have caused it. The first thing was to remove the piping to check and still it was fine so I decided to poor some bleach down in the hope it would remove whatever was smelling and still no luck. Eventually I went for the Domestos Sink And Pipe Unblocker. The size of the black bottle was 500ml and it cost me over £4 and I was not happy to pay this amount but I had read good things about ...  Read the complete review

Well what better to do on a bank holiday than sort out the sink!! after a weekend of jubilee celebrations this morning the smell coming from the sink got on my nerves and with friends arriving for a BBQ I decided to get to work. I had this domestos sink and pipe unblocker bottle under the sink and thought - aha I'll try that out. So this morning I set about reading the label - lots of be careful's and this is dangerous, so do go careful with it, I have had mr muscle oven cleaner on my hand before and it's not nice it starts burning - luckily I put it straight under water. So be warned wear gloves as this has similar stuff in it. How to ...  Read the complete review
