Can we have more on how to polish a knob.

 

[Pudsey Bear]

Here are some ways to polish a knob:

• Brass or copper knobs
  Make a paste of equal parts flour, salt, and vinegar, apply it to the knob, let it sit for a few minutes, and then buff it off. You can also use a powdered or liquid cleanser like Bar Keepers Friend, applying it to a sponge or soft cloth and gently working it into the knob. For hard-to-reach areas, use a soft-bristled toothbrush.
  
  
  
• Bronze knobs
  Mix one part detergent or soap with ten parts water, apply it to the knob with a soft cloth or old toothbrush, and then buff it with a microfiber towel or chamois cloth.
  
  
  
• Tarnished brass
  Make a paste of half a lemon's juice and a teaspoon of baking soda, apply it to the knob with a soft cloth, and let it sit for 30 minutes if the tarnish is heavy. Rinse with warm water and dry.
  
  
  
• Rubbing alcohol
  Polish the knob with rubbing alcohol and a microfiber towel.
  
  

You can also use a sisal buffing wheel or a firm airway buff with an abrasive buffing compound to remove fine scratches. For a final polish, you can use color buffing to bring out the metal's luster.

We've just been thinking about you, and the thread went all weird.

Agreed Baz, too many DHs posting stupid messages and it needs to stop.
I was crushing a 2L pop bottle to get it in the recycling this morning and I had a lightbulb moment. I know that the 'Cork' is cheap and effective and more importantly dead simple and bordering on frivolous but Dare I suggest that this could be the new benchmark?

I had one of those but had to attend A&E to have it removed

For years I have used a piece of soft packing foam, cut in a triangle shape. It works well unless the water pressure is mega and there is no way of reducing it, e.g. a push button tap.

I have two of those adaptors that are supposed to fit onto the vans water inlet fitting, neither of them do, but the long cone shaped Hozelock fitting seems to fit all of them.
