Thanks. I got most of the marks off at weekend, but there was one stubborn patch. Unfortunately I chose the wrong product to tackle it and it looks like I've taken the colour out of the marble - you can see where the product has run down :shock: I've just been reading that it can be...

We have just had a cultured marble fireplace fitted and have noticed that silicone is still present in parts. Can anyone tell me what would be the safest product to use to remove please without scratching or staining?

Thank you both for your input. It looks like we'll have to bite the bullet and replace the unit then. Cheers

I can't understand why marks appear on the inside though. The marks are there now and its a sunny but windy day.

Yes it looks that way. OH priced up a sealed unit last week, just debating whether to replace the whole window so I can get to clean it myself - depends on the cost. I can't understand why the marks are intermittent. If the seal had broken I would think there would be marks there all the...

The windows are about 10 years old, and don't have vents fitted. The other windows are fine, it's just the smallest bedroom which has the problem at the moment.

Marks keep appearing on the inside of the double glazed unit of one of the bedroom windows. To me, the marks look like an impression a textured cloth would leave. It seemed to appear when we had the cold spell, but it is not condensation. Sometimes the window is completely clear. It is a...

Oh dear :roll: I'll have a look around and see if I can pick one up online. If it's more than a tenner I'll not bother :lol: Thanks rocks

Can anyone suggest a way to thoroughly clean the dispenser drawer of a washing machine please? My washer is in continual use and I only clean the drawer thoroughly about once a month - if I remember :oops: At the moment it feels rough as if there is a build up of powder, but nothing I have...

Thanks. I'll wait for daylight and take a picture - complete with a full pane of condensation no doubt... :roll:

Windows are made of upvc and they don't have trickle vents. There is an option to lock the window at a certain point which allows about 1cm of ventiliation - I call it 'fresh air mode' :lol: Do windows usually have trickle vents as standard?

Prior to us changing to gas central heating we had extra insulation put into the loft. Thinking along the lines of adequate ventilation, could this be another reason why we have condensation? Can anyone recommend a decent reasonably priced de-humidifier?

I find the smallest bedroom (with 1 large youth in it!) is the worst for condensation. I've had the bedroom windows open all day today seeing as I'm on holiday from work. We do use extractor fans in the bathroom and kitchen, but as there are 4 of us in the house, there is usually a towel...

Thanks. I don't think the 'stop breathing' suggestion is an option at the moment :shock: I've got a lot of living to do yet :wink: I'll definately price up a de-humidifier; meanwhile I'll open the windows whenever the sun is shining and we think it's warmer than it actually is :roll: Cheers

We have recently changed over to gas central heating after 20+ years of using solid fuel. During this cold spell I have noticed that first thing in the morning two of the bedroom windows are completely covered in condensation. This never happened with solid fuel. The fire would lay dormant...

Easy when you know how - you live and learn... :mrgreen: Cheers

I've since found out that they are actually home-made using rubber or tarpaulin for example, and the pipes cut at required angle using oxyacetylene :roll:

For a welder to be able to cut piping at an angle I believe there is an aid called a 'wraparound' which is available in different sizes. Can anyone tell me where I would buy such a thing, or is it something that a tradesman would make himself?

Thanks for the prompt reply. O/H thought it might be the pump but I had my doubts when I saw the other posting. Cheers :wink:

My washer has suddenly developed a very loud buzzing / droning noise as soon as a program starts. This stops as soon as water starts coming in, but continues at regular intervals throughout the cycle. Any ideas anyone? :? Edit: Just noticed this post:-...
