More household advice

[pompei]

Not really shite related query coming up ...The f***ing dishwasher flashed its warning light that it needed more salt. I refilled it (using the proper stuff) and the wash came out covered in white salty residue and with all the stainless steel stuff covered in rust spots. GRRR (too much salt probably gone in, and bloody light still on - it's worse than my old Fiats) Anyway, is there any way of getting rid of rust spots on cutlery, pans etc? I'm guessing that Kurust etc products will be too harsh?

Blezz it off with an angle grinder and flappy brush. Should any holes appear, simply fill them with wag in the time-honoured autoshite tradition. Hope this helps!

Fine grade wire wool! Is it bad? Any photos?

[retrogeezer]

Won't a green scourer get it off?? It can only be light surface rust surely?

Cilit Bang, GR8 4 MAYKN PENYS SHYNY! Not that I think the aforementioned bang will do much.I have the same problem but fortunately the missus keeps taking cutlery to work and leaving it there thus ensuring a high cutlery turn-over in the Meister household I think in future you should Waxoyl your cutlery leaving you to worry about more important things like clogged arteries and yellow teeth.

Paper plates and plastic cutlery.OK not very environmentally friendly, but then neither is driving an old car, I'm told....

[Mr Lobster]

WD40? No, really. I think that would work. Food would taste GR8 afterwards too.

Jesus, its like womans hour round here today. Never used salt in our dishwasher when we had one, or rinse aid - just them cheapo asda dishwasher bolocks. Never had any issues.

Wrap it in a poly bag, shove it in the bottm of the freezer overnight, then chuddy will happily chip off when deep frozen

That will teach you to use the sink in future.

I've eaten loads of rust (though not always through choice). I rate it slightly above 'cornflakes', but marginally below 'bogeys' for taste. Must be good for the constitution though.

Just eat pasties all day, then you don't need cutlery.

GR8 THINKIN H1R5T!Though naturally I'd prefer a clanger. Mmm, meat AND jam. De- e- lish.

I hate dishwashers. I've tried a bunch of different powders and tablets, but they always leave an invisible coating on the plates/glasses which I can smell. No-one else I know is affected by it so I'm clearly sensitive to something.

Bang, and the dirt is wet! I have mostly been doing chores today ('encouraged' by swmbo), and have tested the aforementioned against other products whilst cleaning our stupidly designed kitchen units. Cillit Bang was teh worzt and seemed to achieve little more than the damp cloth on its own. I was quite impressed by Mr Muscle kitchen cleaner (in the yellow bottle) which to my surprise worked quite well - I expected the two brands to have identical ingredients like shampoo, but apparently not.

W5! Aldi's own I think. Does everything from bird shit remover to bed bug spray. Although not all out the same can.

Brillo cleans all. There are no shiny surfaces in my kitchen anymore.

PMSL.................my thoughts summed up why not try using a bottle of washing up liquid and a basin...........no 'leccy used and it burns calories...........and therefor is ultra green.......................also allows you to speng the unwasted money on shite

Mr Muscle Oven Cleaner - works as an engine degreaser, even for cleaning heads when disassembled.
