    Removing grout from natural stone wall tiles

    Thanks for the suggestion. I'm not sure what you mean by a coarse cloth. I've tried with dry rough towelling and a dry scouring pad but neither has made any noticeable difference. Cheers

    Removing grout from natural stone wall tiles

    I have newly installed natural stone tiles on my kitchen wall. The grout remaining on the tile surface is giving me a problem.

    Radiator thermo and lockshield valves

    Thanks for the very comprehensive explanation and set of instructions. I'll need to get a thermometer(s) and dig out the installation instructions before I start. As I said in my last post though, I'm not getting a problem with cool radiators or cold rooms. I just want to be sure the...

    Zanussi WJS1397W Door Broken

    I have a Zanussi Washer Dryer; Model WJS1397W. The door catch has broken and I am unable to open it. I have found advice saying that removing the top panel gains access to the door catch; it doesn't. I can just about reach it from underneath but cannot figure out a way to find or release the...
