Brass or copper: Away with your brand-name polishes A rub with tomato ketchup or Daddies-type brown sauce is just as good.

Drains: 2 parts vinegar > 1 part baking soda to clear and fragrantise.

Leather: 2 parts linseed oil (in the attic with the cricket bat, remember?) > 1 part white vinegar. Make yr leather furniture all nice and soft and ready to frolic on again.
