Ask urbs' advice on those domestic tasks you just can't seem to do properly

[Epona]

Disgusting but informative, I thank you. I've checked with my partner, who does the laundry, but he swears he's been washing them at 30-40C. We'll try a higher temp!

My mum always used to boil them in a dedicated laundry pan (also used for nappies) on the hob.

Latest lot of greasy plastics are in the dishwasher as I type, so I'll be interested to see how they come out.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Use flash liquid. It’s how I clean my baking trays

You shouldn't be using surface cleaners on anything you use to prepare food.

That...might be a bit much But it should be okay going in with towels/bedding, what's one more bodily fluid?

May your grease and my snot be obliterated! I love this thread already.

 

[WouldBe]

What kind of drugs are you snorting?!

Coke.

The only thing I’ve found with plastics in the dishwasher is that they don’t dry off like crockery as they don’t retain the heat allowing the water to evaporate. Clean though.

Plus if you wash them too hot they warp.

Anyway, I am useless at all domestic tasks. I pretend it's feminism but really I think it's probably adhd

Lick the snot off the hankies before you wash them - problem solved.

Can you show your workings/reference ?

I soak baking trays in flash solution and then wash normally

MDS for fairy and flash are similar and don’t mention not using on food prep equipment. Flash bottle doesn’t say don’t use on catering equip

I understand if you don’t rinse stuff well you might have a lemony smell (likewise fairy liquid) but no one is gonna die unless you are a rat and the LD50 for flash is 5ml per KG

Recommending from experience, I assume Why not just cut out the middle man and eat the snot instead of using a hanky?

That would keep your hankies clean.

Oh well if it's just mildly poisonous then by all means pour me another glass

More than happy to review any evidence/references/science that you are basing your position on that state it shouldn’t be used

Rolled eyes don’t science

I don't have peer-reviewed science on why you shouldn't treat woodworm in your floorboards by burning your house down either, why not give that a go.

Flash all purpose cleaner is fine for food contact surfaces.

Don't use on porous surfaces.

Rinse thoroughly.

iirc it says that on the bottle, no need to look for peer-reviewed anything.

 

[SpookyFrank]

When I bought my toaster it didn't say anywhere on the box, 'do not put your penis in this' so clearly it's a great idea.

 

[Epona]

People have been taking flash all-purpose camping with them for a long time to wash their dishes and pots as it is concentrated and doesn't create suds.

People use it to clean their stove tops, appliances, and kitchen counters.

The same is true of camel shit but I don't clean my pans with that either.

 

[Epona]

Except it does say on the bottle "for use on food-contact surfaces", we're not making it up.

Also a COSHH sheet was provided earlier in the thread.

Not sure what more proof you require tbh.

 

[SpookyFrank]

First I'd like to see some proof that red diesel is not suitable for use as a contact lens cleaner.

 

[Epona]

I suggest never eating out, they don't use fairy to wash dishes in professional kitchens

 

[Epona]

Also no-one is suggesting that you drink the stuff, that would be just as stupid as drinking fairy liquid.

I've worked in professional kitchens. Never once seen no cunt cleaning pans with fucking floor cleaner.

We're not talking about fucking floor cleaner, we're talking about cleaner for food preparation areas. Crying out loud.

For someone who boasts of having read the label, you really don't seem to have read the label.

It's just fuckwits all the way down today isn't it?

 

[Epona]

Please explain how it is safe to use on a kitchen counter where I prepare food but not on a plate where I prepare food?

(Both are rinsed, actually the plate probably more thoroughly since I can hold it under a tap).

 

[Epona]

I just can't be arsed, ridiculous convo is ridiculous...

 

[Cloo]

Machine did OK job on plastic boxes, as people said, they did need drying. One did flip over and get water in it, so that'll probably need a hand wash.

 

[HoratioCuthbert]

Is it not just shit at washing dishes though

It doesn't say not to use it as mouthwash. It doesn't say it's not an ideal substitute for ginger beer in a moscow mule. It doesn't say you shouldn't sprinkle it on your wedding invitations to add an air of subtle sophistication.

The reason it doesn't say those things is that people are expected to be able to figure them out for themselves. Evidently the bar has been set too high
