To remove black sludge thats come out of a radiator onto carpet, do not try to wipe it up or rub it, it will just push it into the pile of the carpet. Use an atomiser spray the area with water and soak up with a wet vacuum cleaner. Lifts it out of the carpet. Worked on small amounts. The miracles of a battery wet and dry hoover, can get you out of all sorts of trouble. 😀

Best advice I got on this forum was to use a parsnip as a bung! Plus it counts as one of your five fruit and veggies!Get cone shaped rubber bungs. Very handy if the house is off of storage and you don't want to be messing about with old gatevalves.
Just stick them in the storage tank at the draw offs, also saves you draining and refilling the tank if a valve jams shut.
R they really good ?
To clean a trap like new, put it on a quick cycle in the dish washer!
I print sheets of permanent adhesive mini laser labels with a large red H for Hot and a large Blue W for cold. Looks impressive and great on long pipe runs or where passing through a wall as it stops pipes getting crossed. Also good in elderly customer's homes as they can tell which valve to turn off for a burst.
I used insulating tape for a long time, but found that it can come off when going through a tight hole in a wall while the labels stay fixed. Don't do gas only bathrooms so you'd be more creative than me Dan for a gas label.
