2009 Omlet cube and run for sale

[BeckyBoo]

Snowy!! How very dare you!! I was going to say a cloud!! How about a puff?" Anyway, haven't steamed anything, but got rid of 8 yes, EIGHT bin bags of childrens clothes and toys to the local charity sho, flogged £25 of stuff through the small ads at work, and got rid of 4 things through freecycle. Our or rather my new years resolution is to be more green, clear out more stuff and sort my finances! Nothing is coming in to my house unless something else goes out!!

Now look what you've done!!!!

 

...and two new cushions!!!!!

 

And Lesley as well by the looks of it!

[Sheilaz]

Can you post the link again please........ and is it still in the Sale?

 

~ here you go ~

 

Now they appear to be out of stock. Can't think how they sold out!

I nearly had an urge to join in the spring cleaning there, luckily it's passed now.

I'll wait until Spring. (2020)

But those steamers look fun! Do continue to report back with verdicts on them.

[Karen & co.]

 

This place is so funny, do you think the latest trend will hit the news papers, as nation wide shortage of steam cleaners becomes public knowledge

I nabbed the last one late last night while in a G&T fug.

I am sure it will come in useful anyhow though

Anyone else?

 

Should we sell our story to the papers?

[Ain't Nobody Here]

I though I'd posted this yesterday but must've forgotten to hit "submit" .

 

I was just imagining the buyer at JLP saying to colleagues "funny, we usually sell one of those steam cleaners a month. We've just sold 10 in one day ." :

 

lol:

Funny that, I nabbed no.6 late one night while in a wine fug .

[Egluntyne]

I'm quaking in my boots in case none of you think it's as fab as I do.

 

It's brilliant for getting grease off kitchen tiles.

[Chicken Licken]

No steam cleaning going on here, but I have painted my bedroom (yesterday) and cleaned the windows. Also the job I am most likely to put off (apart from Ironing), filing all the post that has built up and shredding what can be binned.

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Aha, I've worked it out (I'm a bit slow, I know ). The esteemed (geddit?) steamer has inveigled its way into two different threads hence my confusion over a post I thought I'd made

Another monster is being created (OED being the other, obviously ).

[Egluntyne]

It kind of spilled over into the Spring Cleaning thread.

[One Man Banned]

I have been doing nothing but cleaning for the last few days as I've been at home and Joe has been back at work and we gave the cleaner two weeks off

 

Still, most of downstairs looks lovely and just the tree to take down over the weekend and then I'll shampoo all of the carpet downstairs.

 

I have a steam cleaner already (quite good, bought off speedauction.tv for £8!!) and it's really good. It does work wonders on the kitchen tile grout

 

Just the windows to do and it's far too cold to be outside on a ladder so I've put that off for now

We took down our indoor and outdoor decorations today, it looks SO bare and "sounds" so bear in the frontroom.....I have an echo its so empty!!

[Egluntyne]

Mine are down now too.

 

It does look a bit stark.

[Goosey Lucy]

I use my steamer on the washing machine drawer. The little nozzle thingy gets right to the back and inside the little holes

[Ain't Nobody Here]

I think Egluntine needs to start a sticky on the 101 uses for a steam cleaner .

 

Every time someone posts a new use, I think "I never thought of that!".

[Egluntyne]

Oooh er!

 

Can't stickify it myself because I'm not a mod....maybe one will pop along.

 

1. Stove tops

 

2. Shower tracks.

 

3. Bits in double glazing that turn black.

 

4. Bathroom tiles and grout....and all things bathroomy.

 

5. Fridges and freezers. ( with care...check manufacturers instructions)

 

6. Windows/mirrors.

 

7. Radiators. Especially good for blasting out dust.

 

8. Stains on upholstery/carpets (with care!)

 

9. Ovens (check manufacturers instructions)

 

10. Grotty bits around the inside of the dishwasher door.

 

11. Grotty detergent dispenser drawer in washing machine.

 

12. Smelly bins.

 

13. Eglus and possibly roosting bars.

 

14. Crocs (with care)

 

 

Any more?

We've got a Polti steam cleaner, used once. Some people love them, but we didn't think much off it. Had it a while now.

 

Today, we have taken down the Christmas decs & we are having a sort out of all our junk, so as we can buy more Antique furniture & actually have place to put it instead of all the totally useless stuff we have.

Taken loads to the Recycling centre, sorted some stuff out to sell & some for putting on the Omlet Freecycle. I should feel happy & de stressed, but I feel all nerved up! I hate sort outs, I find them boring!

Do You? - I really enjoy clearing stuff out - I've been clearing the office today. The binmen come tomorrow and I wanted to give them plenty to do

 

I haven't taken down the Christmas stuff though - I like the lights

[Charlottechicken]

Ooh, I love a clear out! I was a hoarder (well, still am actually ) so have plenty to go at. Having tidied my front room out just before Christmas and actually having a usable room instead of an indoor skip with wallpaper and a light fitting it is really liberating! The binmen call tomorrow and I have a huge cardboard box full of paper for them to recycle, a few items for eBay and maybe something for freecycle too!

[Cate in NZ]

I keep decluttering rather than cleaning, but I hate it . I'm an untidy, disorganised hoarder by instinct and decluttering goes quite against the grain.

I am very clean though, I really dislike dirt and dust so do keep things spotless (well, except for windows, I clean them and 5 mins later they're grimy again............how does that happen ), but tidiness is not a strength of mine.

Spring cleaning..............I've yet to get the urge for that one, is it contagious [/b]
