How to clean a blocked sink

1.

Blocked sinks can be a real pain to clean! To prevent your sink becoming blocked, every couple of weeks put lots of salt down it, followed by boiling water straight from the kettle.
Repeat this once more and you should (hopefully!) never have blocked drains. The combination of the salt and boiling water down the sink helps to unblock and clean the pipes, resulting in you not getting that sinking feeling!

How to clean a toilet

Cleaning the toilet is one of the most hated household chores but has to be done regularly to keep your bathroom hygienic! Choose a toilet cleaner that is suitable for the material your toilet is made of (some are very harsh) and flush the toilet once to wet the bowl a bit, then swish the cleaner around the bowl and leave to sit for a few minutes. After this, make sure you have a toilet brush so that you can give the bowl a good clean using the liquid sitting in it, and use the brush to spread it into all the corners and under the rim. To rinse it away, flush the toilet again and use the brush to scrub away any residue.
