Kebabs! Best cleaning tool known to woman!
ever so handy, easier to use compared to a toothpick
where are those brushes from
You can purchase them from a Tupperware Demonstator, otherwise I will have some back in stock shortly
do you think a spray like Mr Sheen may help reduce the future buildup of gunge in the corners of the track? I know it can be used as a mild lubricant, and someone once told me that if you sprayed it on a painted door, you could then use said door as a whiteboard (not tried that myself).

Hi, can you pls advise me on how to remove fly screens On our sliding glass windows. Ours seem to be fitted from the outside and i cannot get to the sliding glass Window behind it.
Also how do I remove them from upstairs?
Megan check to see if there is a screw on the out side of the fly screens , can you lift the glass sliding window out. open window slightly then lift up and take bottom out first.
I tried everything to clean our Crimsafe screens and nearly gave up!
The Crimsafe Outlet recommended the HaRa green glove to us. This product is absolutely unbeatable to clean the screens – even without chemicals. Every now and then I use Carnauba, which is a natural wax care balm and prevents dirt from sticking to the screens. I would never use anything else again! The screens are done in no time!
I tried the little brushes and vaccuum cleaner. The dealer for our Crimsafe got me onto this: So easy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y36Hyii5BV8 – I cleaned the screens in the whole house in under an hour!
