    Posted: 01 August 2009 at 7:53pm
Yip, I have a raging social life at the moment!

We have a rather large expanse of ceiling. Its spilt by beams. I have cleaned all the beams by hand but need to clean the actual ceiling.

Any tips or tricks on what works?

TIA

I think it is possibly nesting and I have nothing else left to do so the ceiling it is!

I do live a very sad life at the moment

Emz, thanks for the offer but may pass on that....although it is only 3 more weeks until I finish work so boredom and desperation may kick in

So mop it is then - it will take me forever, I am thinking.

Yep Mop, just not too wet - you don't want it in your eyes.

Oh and if you decide to do the bathroom while you're at it use heavily diluted bleach and that will inhibit any mould growth.
