Top tips for laundry time Avoid the laundry blues!

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.

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 stains

Choose the right water temperature The 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 washand-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.

Most 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

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.

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.

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 size If 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

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 shed Wooden 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

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.

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.

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

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.

With time, a flimsy shed is likely to
