Getting brown stains off new shower cabinet

Hi

My mum used undiluted oil of cloves to clean her new shower cabinet , PVC shower liner . She saw this tip on a TV show but missed the bit about diluting it,  anyway it has caused some ugly brown stains down the liner and on the shower tray and as yet nothing I have tried will touch it . Any hints or help hear will be greatly received . Thanks P.C. (name supplied)

To remove scorch marks from clothing

Oh dear – you got sidetracked while you were ironing and left the hot iron on your favourite  shirt.  Now you’re faced with a nasty brown scorch mark.  What to do!

If the fabric is cotton or similar, squeeze a lemon and gently rub the juice into the scorch stain.  Rinse and leave to dry in the sun.

If you don’t have a lemon handy, try dampening a cloth with white vinegar and rubbing that gently across the scorch stain.  Rinse with cold water and dry in the sun.

These methods work best on lighter coloured items.

The key like treating any stain is to get to work on removing the stain as soon as possible before the stain sets in.
