EASY TIPS

Lemon fresh

To get food stains out

of a PVC tablecloth,

use lemon juice. It

works a treat!

Wendy, Bristol

DJ tunes

A great DIY speaker is putting

your phone in a glass cup. It’s

perfect if you don’t have a portable

speaker, or if you’re out and about.

Louise, Cardiff

In a rush

If you don’t have time
to get an iron out on
a morning, straighten
your shirt collar with
straighteners. It’ll look
smart and save you
time! Emma, Brighton
