I know we have a food forum but, like me, I think many people only occasionally have a glance at it so I thought it best to ask this question on the main forum.

I picked up Myrtle this afternoon, all done and a lot poorer. Have spent a bit of time with a bucket of hot soapy water giving a wipe out of cupboards, shelves and doors.

He said that a lot of them, probably including...
