Next door (nice one's) informed us that they're having their house painted, starting this morning - that means all the old paint will be blasted off by high pressure water - so we've parked Hiho far away, moved all the plants, so they don't get covered in paint flakes
And Bente has just rung, in a complete panic. Her friends are arriving later today and she wanted to clean the house, in preparation.
She doesn't know how to clean her ceramic hob and can I help?
Well, so sorry Bente, we've got friends coming over in an hour, so I can't. But let me tell you how to do it.
So I've given her instructions, she had to find the hob cleaner first
But how do I get all the burnt food off?? Try wiping it over when you spill things, Bente, makes it much easier.
Then it was how do I clean her showers, so sparkley. Gave instructions for that too
And what about the oven, she said - I've sprayed it, but it won't come off. Erm, Bente, what have i told you about the sides of the oven???? They're self-cleaned, do not put anything on them.
So that's one Bosch oven that going to be replaced, next week
