Building the McLaren by Dechellis 471May 10, 2011 3:35 pm Hahaha.. Honestly, so not a messy cook. I don't understand how we get the little greasy oil dots all the way up to the ceiling. I am a nazi with the kids and DH "are you guys serious? I just cleaned these cupboards and there are finger prints everywhere. I'm never cleaning these again". Then I go off and clean them arghhh. Crazy nazi mum Re: Building the McLaren by Dechellis 472May 10, 2011 3:36 pm Hey Tam, go and get yourself a spray bottle, put in some white vinegar and water and use that to wipe your cupboards! I also find that it cleans my stainless steel cook top and dishwasher perfectly without leaving streaks!! ------------------------------------------------------ Handover: 14 December 2010 Current: Putting in plants!

I also find that it cleans my stainless steel cook top and dishwasher perfectly without leaving streaks!! +1 on the vinegar. I use it for all my cleaning, it is fantastic and doesn't leave streaks (or that icky filmy residue that I'm sure manufacturers put in there to attract dirt to make you buy more products)....Floors, cupboards, benchtop, stainless steel, mirrors, glass, does the lot.....and its 99c for 2 litres ! Re: Building the McLaren by Dechellis 474May 10, 2011 4:29 pm I'm sold!! DH uses metho in water for cleaning the floors esp tiles.

Building the McLaren by Dechellis 475May 10, 2011 4:39 pm I need to get me a spray bottle. I use vinegar for everything I am suprised i haven't used it for the cupboards yet. Re: Building the McLaren by Dechellis 476May 10, 2011 4:58 pm it doesnt matter that the cupboards are dark, in our old house we had a light beech wood colour and we had the same oily marks above our rangehood.

So that's why I can't seem to find a brand of spray'n'wipe that doesn't leave my bench feeling sticky afterward! might try the vinegar/water. I tried using it on my floor tiles in my last home but hated the smell. I do use it as fabric softener though! McLaren, your kitchen is going to look amazing! I really like that window, I had a brief dumb moment of thinking "oh I could have one of those" & then remembered I have a laundry on that wall Building our custom design "Dream Home" Follow my Build - viewtopic.php?f=31&t=46820 Contract Signed - 28/04/11 Siteworks Commenced - 20/06/11 Re: Building the McLaren by Dechellis 478May 10, 2011 8:42 pm Quote: I think it looks balanced though so looking forward to seeing it in the flesh now!! Balanced - that was the word I was looking for Another great cleaning product is the Chux Magic Eraser, only needs water and takes off a multitude of dirty marks including marks on walls (although I would do a patch test first in case the paint comes off). Works well on grease too. I buy the blocks and cut off small pieces at a time depending on how much cleaning I need to do, with a sharp knife. It can be rinsed and reused but does wear out quite quickly. https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=43937&start=0 Bought a block in Golden Grove - Jan 2011 Finally finished our design, Mar 2012, *yay* Signed with ADH council consent June 12 Re: Building the McLaren by Dechellis 479May 10, 2011 10:08 pm WOW, that will be awesome!
