Works just as well when you add a teaspoonfull of white sugar as 'grit'. Sugar washes away down the sink a little better than sand.

Laundry powder works but it gets pretty hot when you add some water to it.

Dish washing liquid & a bit of sugar to act as grit works an absolute treat.

It's OK this is not the gay bee cee

A little bit of laundry detergent mixed with some soft soap works a treat for my delicate little paddles. It also works well to get rid of grease from a chassis and the driveway, just dont leave it on the stenciled driveway for too long as it bleaches it

Wool Mix is another good grease and grimme remover.

G'day Numpty,

Well there you go, I use the same stuff too!

I just need to be careful not to drip dirty water over the washing machine. SWMBO does not appreciate it .

Kind Regards
