An Essex woman has revealed how she mistakenly cleaned her sink with hand soap and the results are pretty stunning.

Emma Ramsey said it works better than anything she tried before, sharing pictures of the shiny results on Facebook group Family Lockdown Tips & Ideas.

She wrote: ‘So, I stumbled upon this completely by accident the other day when washing my hands with anti bacterial hand-wash in the bathroom basin.

‘I quickly washed the basin out smothering it in anti bac hand-wash and noticed how sparkly the taps were and still are!

Homebase launches new dual purpose concept store

Homebase has launched a new experimental split-level showroom dedicated to kitchens and bathrooms.

The novel concept store, located in a redesigned Bathstore site at Sydenham Road, Guildford, will allow customers to book free design appointments for both bathrooms and kitchens, where a designer will advise them on ideas and products.

Where do ideas come from?

By Morf Morford

Tacoma Daily Index

Good artists copy and great artists steal. – Picasso *

Ideas don’t come out of nothing. It would be easy to make the case that every idea and invention, from toilets to software to music or smart phones or even printing or gunpowder came from somewhere else.

The concept of patents and copyrights, for example, is relatively new.

Shakespeare made a regular practice of lifting other people’s stories or adapting familiar tales into his plays.

Since buying it in 2016, Ben and wife Gaby have been slowly renovating their 1934 semi-detached, four-bed. Ben had spotted the house online while in Costa Rica and checked out its potential for extension and renovation by looking at Google Earth.

The couple were quick to add a wraparound extension downstairs. With that complete and the new, enlarged kitchen created and finished by Ben, there were a multitude of smaller jobs to complete, including a mammoth upstairs bathroom project budgeted
