Propolis on Lino

[SteveJ]

Ok got my GH this weekend. Think I need to remove some of the Propolis from the lino floor in the Honey Room without damaging the lino.

Anybody any tips.

I've heard washing powder works, maybe combined with a stiff brush

Ordinary cheap washing soda is the best. All I use for cleaning beekeeping equipment.

Scrape off whatever you can first with a knife.

A handfull of soda crystals in a few litres of warm water with a squirt of washing-up liquid should work without damaging the floor. Use an old cloth with the soda solution. Oh, and elbow grease

Alcohol on a rag, rub gently until clean the wash with your usual cleaner

Then drink the alcohol, or lick the floor! Waste not want not.

Doh!

Vodka is best, can't drink the stuff

I use a plastic wallpaper scraper in the first instance, and that normally is enough.

I'd just point the other half in the right direction and let her get on with it. I always find it's the most effortless way and good results when anything needs cleaning

Ha! If I did that I'd just get funny looks.
