It did take time but how it flies when you are enjoying yourself as the old saying goes! <br />Great spray product - - - - - - Bang for the kitchen which removes it from the floor tiles; removes ingrained alcohol inks too, I know that from last month's offering! However doesn't quite disperse with stamped images on ironing board cover! <br />Weather dependent, could be the garden tomorrow; <br />have some plants to sort out.

As for the string- the drippy bits were so easily mopped up from the hob as opposed to bleaching it out from the work tops. (Done that too.) Note to Mike - next hob has to be range size!
