Cleaning

Avoid the laundry blues!Sort laundry• By fabric: Separate delicate fabrics

that require a gentle cycle from heavier items.

• By colour: Separate whites from colours and pastels from dark colours

• By soil level: Soil can travel from one garment to another so wash heavily-soiled garments separately

• Lint: Check pockets and remove tissues before washing. Wash heavy lint shedders, especially blankets, chenille bedspreads, rugs and woollens separately, and clean out the lint filter in your washing machine regularly.

• Pre-treat obvious stainsMost stains can be removed

completely, provided that they are handled promptly and properly.Follow these general tips• Act fast and rinse stains in cold

water before they have a chance to set.

• Check the fabric before removing any stain. Silks, wools and many permanent press fabrics require special care, while stains on cotton, linen and washable fabrics are more easily removed.

• Do not rub stains as rubbing may

push the stain further into the fabric.• Avoid hot water on an unknown

stain - hot water sets many stains.• Avoid the use of any chlorine bleach

unless the garment tag says it may be used. Fabrics react differently to different stains and stain removal treatments, so it is important to identify the stain to treat it properly.

Choose the right water temperatureThe care label on your clothes recommends which water temperature to use.

• Cold (20°C) Ideal for fabrics that might shrink or fade in warm water and recommended for typical wash-and-wear items. Use a washing powder or liquid specifically formulated for cold water washing.

• Warm (35°C) Recommended for permanent press items including light to medium colours.

• Hot (55°C) Provides maximum cleaning for items that can stand hot water without losing colour or shrinking; especially baby clothes and nappies, heavily soiled work or sport outfits. Hot water is excellent for whites, sheets, towels and other household items.

• For dark and black colours use cool water.

Adding laundry detergent For top-loading machines, we recommend that the detergent is properly dissolved before adding clothes to the wash. The easiest way to do this is to fill the washing machine approximately halfway with water, add the detergent, then keep filling the machine. Once full, stop the load and add items, then commence the wash.

For front-loading machines, please follow the manufacturers instructions on where and how to load the washing detergent.

Keeping whites nice and bright• Use the recommended amount of a

premium detergent • Separate heavily soiled items from

lightly-soiled items.• Use warm or hot water if suitable for

the fabric.• Ensure clothes can circulate freely

through the water.• Dry clothes in the sun.• To revitalise whites, soak in a soaker

prior to washing.

Garden Sheds

How to buy the best shed

Top five shed-buying tips

A shed should last for years so it's worth taking time to buy the right one.

If you want to choose the best shed for your garden, these are the top five things you need to consider:

1. Wooden shed, metal shed or plastic shed?Wooden sheds are made from softwoods – usually pine (sometimes referred to as redwood or red deal) or spruce (white deal). A few are larch or Douglas fir, and in theory these should be slightly more resistant to rot. Most rot-resistant of all are cedar sheds, but these are almost twice the price of pine ones.

Metal sheds won’t rot or burn down, but they aren’t exactly pretty and can be tricky to assemble. Also, condensation tends to drip from the roof of these, limiting what you can store inside. Some have sliding doors which won’t blow shut when you’re struggling to bring in bulky items.

Plastic sheds are relatively maintenance free, and usually fit together easily. Taking them apart when moving house should also be straightforward. However their looks

may not appeal to all.

Whatever type of shed you decide on, be sure to check out the best and worst shed brands before you buy.

2. Shed sizeIf you have space, we'd recommend you opt for a shed measuring at least 1800mm x 2400mm. This size has double the floor area of a 1800mm x 1200mm shed, and room for a work bench along one side.

If the shed is to go in a very confined space, make sure you know its precise dimensions. The size quoted by the supplier may not include the roof overhang.

3. Shed sturdiness With time, a flimsy shed is likely to

develop a sagging roof, distorted sides and a door that won’t shut properly. Check for sturdiness by standing inside it, jumping in the centre of the floor and pushing against the centre of the side and roof panels. You should feel firm resistance rather than flexing.

Also, check that the wooden timbers supporting the roof have no large, dark-edged knots, as these are prone to fall out.

4. Keeping the rain out of a shedWooden sheds often leak and rot because of rain running down the walls. To minimise such problems, the roof should overhang the sides by at least 5cm, and the front and back by at least 7.5cm. Measure from

the inside edge of the roof, not the outside.

Rain is less likely to run inside the top and bottom of a door if it has a strip of wood (weather bar) over it to deflect the water. Ideally, there should be a weather bar at the bottom, too.

Windows are prone to rot at the bottom unless they have sloping sills with a drip groove - a groove cut beneath the sill to help water drip to the ground. When standing in a closed shed, the only place you should see daylight is through the windows. Avoid sheds with gaps - if they let in light, they'll also let in rain.

5. Shed access You'll need to ensure that those who will be using the shed can get in without tripping over the doorway threshold or banging their head. Also, check the doorway is wide enough. Single doors range from about 900mm wide to just 650mm. The wider the opening, the wider the items you’ll be able to bring inside.

If a shed you like has poor access, check whether higher eaves (allowing extra headroom) and/or a wider or double door are available as optional extras.

Keep watering regularly – particularly

fruity plants like tomatoes and strawberries.

This will ensure they ripen faster and become juicy. Water in the morning or evening when the outside temp is cooler. This will allow the water to soak into the soil and not dry out as quickly.

Make sure your garden is mulched to protect the soil from heat and allow it to better retain water. If you’re going on holiday you might have to rely on automatic sprinklers, but if not, it’s preferable to water by hand so you can aim at the roots. Your plants will absorb the water better this way and it encourages deeper root growth.

Try not to over-water as it can rot your plants. Sometimes the wind

can dry the soil on the top but if you check further down you might find it’s not dry after all. If the soil is dry when you poke your finger into the ground, it needs more water.

Keep planting your favourite veges

and herbs – particularly the fast growing ones like fancy lettuces, rocket, basil, spring onions and spinach. These plants all mature quickly and planting often will ensure you have a regular supply.

Don’t forget to dead head your flowers – especially marigolds and petunias. Removing the flowers that have passed their use-by-date will stop them rotting and keep the planting looking at its best.

Lastly, cut or your roses back to where the stem is as thick as a pencil. When you’ve found the right spot to cut, make sure you make the actual cut just above the outside bud nearest to your spot.

Cutting your roses will encourage them to continue flowering until around June, rather than finishing in March.
