My ancient microwave self-destructed the week the shippers were due, otherwise that would've come as well.
I think I'm gonna have to set aside some days before the shippers come to clean anything that needs cleaning... Any advice on how to get used bikes etc gleaming would be appreciated though An Ewww Renth - was the pillowcase recoverable evidently the mantis wasn't ! |

Pressure washer or hot soapy water, dry off, spray moving parts with WD40.
Someone mentioned in passing the other day back to black to put on the tyres - is it worth it or just a good clean ? |

Okey doke - got WD40 - I'm sure my husband is obsessed with it.

We brought over three shedful of garden tools, bikes, ancient woodworking tools, mechanic tools. Didn't use any Jeyes. Just pressure washer and WD40. The husband did spray paint some things like spades etc but only because he's a bit anal and had used the angle grinder on any rust he found. If you want to black the wheels do so but you don't have to.
