Changing the facts
I want the rubber washing up glove people to sell packs of Left and Right gloves. It’s so very stupid and dumb and wasteful that every time I get a hole in one glove, I have to throw the good one out too and buy a new pair.
Ive fruitlessly tried to find the address of the Marigold people so I can post all my useless single gloves back to them and tell them to do this.
I‘ve looked on line for how to re-purpose single gloves, I’ve tried using them inside out, I’ve tried using them on the wrong hand, I’ve tried patching them with gaffer, resin, glue.
And I want fridge fittings makers to design and make the drawers and shelves so that I can un-clip the parts and clean and dry them properly! It makes no sense to me that something that stores food also harbours water in the crevices and under the edges, which then goes into a dark damp environment.
And I want a large sieve with a flat base that I can put in the base of my kitchen sink that traps all the detritus from my cooking and cleaning. With small holes. Smaller than a tea strainer. Much smaller than a chip drainer or any of the other drainy things I’ve looked at in the household goods shops. I want it to replace that stupid drain strainer, it would just rest in the bottom of the sink, it would be available in different sizes and shapes (oblong, round, square), reach to the edges of the sink or near enough so I can let my washing up bowl on top. I can wash my veg, dump out my teapot, pour out the washing up bowl, (but not in a drought…) and the sink sieve would catch it all. If the drain is running slow because there’s too much stuff in there, I can just lift it up and let the water drain through and down the sink, no need to fish out the drain strainer and then have all the floaters pour down the sink. Currently I use an old flour sieve but it’s round so doesn’t sit flat, but it’s so much better than the drain strainers.
