To remove stubborn burnt on food from saucepans/frying pans, add a tablespoons or 2 of laundry powder/a tablet and water and boil on cooker until spotless again. Wash pan thoroughly afterwards.

we have a white cast iron sink in the kitchen. it gets pretty stained over the course of a week. i use an electrosol tablet and fill the sink with hot water and let it sit till the water is cool. drain, and just wipe out.

I live in an apartment, that has really inefficient old appliances. The worst being the dishwasher. If I leave just the littlest bit of food on a dish, it'll stay or wind up on my glassware. Yuck! This is what I do now to fix this problem. If I have stuck on food (like hard stuck on food left on the counters for hours), I add to the dishwasher, my dishwasher tablet, and fill the dispensers with cheap distilled vinegar. It's roughly a 1/4 to 1/3 cup of vinegar for a full load (roughly the amount of dishes 3 meals a day x 2 days x 3 people). My dishes come out sparkling and squeaky clean every time!

i regularly drop a milton tablet in to my toilet bowels to keep them free from lime scale. we have very soft water where we live and tent to get a pink residue around where the water comes out of the holes and sinks upstairs , by using a little bit of bleach this ilimintates the stain and leaves the toilet sparkling.

Debra, your question regarding your ice and water dispenser reminded me of an episode that concerned a mucked up sauna-tub. What Aggie ended up doing was use a few dishwasher tabs (like electrosol, here in the US) dissolved in a bucket. She had them soak into the tub (and ran the lines) for a good while and it kicked up all sorts of filth (ew!) --so maybe try one tablet and rub it through the dispenser a few times. You could also try adding some jet dry OR run the last couple of times with white vinegar. Hope this helps. :)
