What is this thing of which you speak? “Hairdryer”?
(Would a fan-heater do?)

It’s not a particularly visible residue, more of a sticking sound as one walks along.

I would go for hot water and blot it up with kitchen paper
Over and over again
Dissolve the sugar and lift it bit by bit
My problem is a Clare shale floor with silver sparkly nail polish on it
A whole bottle dropped on it and as it was a new bottle you can imagine the spread

Argh!
My worst spillage so far was half a litre of dark red (emulsion) paint onto the middle a painfully-clean pale fawn fitted carpet, and I got that out with water, and cloths and newspaper to sop up the pinkness, and then repeat. And repeat. And repeat, never letting it get dry. Took about six hours continuous.
I shall try vinegar, and when that hasn’t worked I’ll try hot water… possibly tomorrow, I am about to have a pint of Ruby Rooster.

was a pot of dark green Warhammer paint on my (then) new dining room carpet. Nothing on this earth would shift it.
Good nights, Cellarites.

I use a half inch layer of Bicarb, barely dampened & left overnight to lift the crud from burnt saucypans
Works every time for that
It’s Bluddy Depressing to keep trying to remove summat though

Aaaaaargh and sob about boots
I resorted to professional help with a horrible mess of bubble gum (boiled baby pink hue) tramped in from the street onto a wooden floor and worser a hand made silk and wool carpet the Bull bought for me in Saudi Arabia
Tree of life design and gorgeous
What is it with folk feeling the need to chaw gum incessantly?
And just throw it on the ground

I never allowed chewing gum in the house - vile stuff, & the smell makes me heave

Good shoesies and boots do last well and work out cheaper in the long run

Fifteen years old would be great.
I have by my desk a pair of Hush Puppies two years old whose soles and heels simply came apart while the shoes were being worn last week (at an important meeting). I assume this is a new, improved material designed to last eighteen months before degrading completely so that you have to buy new shoes, but the new shoes will not be Hush Puppies; once is enough, and they were not cheap.
