DIY: Q&A

Q. How can I clean my dishwasher without harsh chemicals and keep it smelling reasonably well the rest of the time?

A. Vinegar is a fantastic disinfectant and a powerful grease killer. Pour about 250ml of neat white vinegar into the machine and run it through a full cycle empty. Do this once a month.

Q. When I clean silver with commercial polish it always seems to leave a lingering taste on the forks and knives.
