No, teaspoons must be wiped on the boob because it's the right shape ;)

Loving the armpit cleaning, I have never heard of that... The one and only time I cleaned a rod with a piece of clothing (that I was wearing) it went straight through,them ends are sharp....I'm a glass cleaning spray and a Cloth...

I generally only clean my clear. Cotton cloth and glass cleaner for me,and I clean as I use too.

Other glass I'll wife too if it's too mucky for an under the arm swipe x

Is there no difference between your boobs and your knees then? :D

Not just little difference, also little distance!

Ohh you guys always cheer me up!

Thought it was just me tahat wiped rods on the end of my tee shirt (but only if they looked dusty) doesnt the flame just burn dust off?

I also HATE that black insulation tape that seems to be creeping in. If its been on the glass any length of time it leaves a really sticky mark and my tee shirt fluff sticks to it which upsets my process. These ones I have had to actually wash, some have had an overnight soak but have been thinking that something like acetone or spirit might shift it faster (then probably best wash off)

Does Martin stick that tape on or does he get them like that? If he sticks it on maybe we should mention its a pain!
Now I can play all day as I retired from the 'proper' job....

Car Plan Paint thinner works wonders on the sticky stuff. £3.00 for a 250ml can. Just use a little in the open air and replace lid every time you use some. It's very volatile.
Re boobs, this thread reminded me of my granny, born 116 years ago. She only wore bras on high days and holidays and always called them hammocks. She was a VERY large lady.                          ;)  ;)  ;)

I think some people here spend too much time housekeeping.  Mine get a quick wipe on the apron before use and that's it.  Ironing, washing rods, you'll have me stuffing mushrooms next  ;D

My home is clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be happy.

I think some of the dust is glass dust from the cutting process.

I use my armpit but if it's a hot day I use other bits of my clothing.

The black insulating tape is a pain - it makes you resort to having to use a cloth. No, they don't come with tape on them from the manufacturer - the suppliers buy their glass in 100 kilo chunks so it is all divvied up later on and (ppt! >:() taped. However, I don't know what it is but elastic bands don't seem to last when applied to glass rods. That's a complete mystery to me.

I use my boobs to dry the rim of mugs sometimes, from the dishwasher. Unless I have visitors.

 ;D ;D ;D  So funny!

I swipe them between my knees (with jeans on) for a clean - I started off washing them up but soon got tired of that!
