Cleaning curtain hooks

Took down some curtains yesterday, and noticed the plastic hooks were a
little grubby, as were the plastic brackets attaching the rail to the
wall. Removed the lot and cleaned the real, but the hooks and brackets
I dumped in the cutlery thingy, in the dishwasher. Came up just like
new! [2]
At the same time, I put the lid of our telephone junction box
(connection box) [1] in the dishwasher, which removed most of the paint
applied over the last fifty years! I will leave that in for another
wash.
[1] BT35A clearly marked GPO, so been there for a while. Incoming cable
has 7 wires, but only two are connected. A few more inches of cable
connect the BT35A to the master socket. Most odd.
[2] The dishwasher and washing machine are also excellent for cleaning
grubby Lego. Does not do the sticky labels many favours though :-)

Nothing odd at all. I guess that your phone line arrives overhead and

is thus Dropwire No.10. The wires will be three yellow ones and two
pairs (orange/white & green/black). The three yellow ones are brassed
steel strainer cores, the telephone service being provided over one
of the pairs.

I'd have thought that paint in a sdishwasher was a quick way to clog it up
though.
My main gripe with curtain fittings is that most these days are plastic and
hence tend to go brittle when you want to remove the curtains. Down the shop
for another lot, sorry sir, those are no longer made, you will need a new
rail and mounting hardwaree.

Yes, the line is overhead, as is electricity. The phone cable is 7
wires, all single colour. Green and black are connected to the master
socket, the five remaining being 1 x orange, 1 x white and 3 x red.

with some clothes in the washing machine. This is what you do with lego.
As for stuff going brittle, it depends on quality.
I have some hooks that are at least 20 years old and are fine but others
have gone brittle after a few years.

So how do you tell at purchase time which ones they are, or is it just the
brittle ones have in fact been held in stock for longer so failure is
closer.
They all seem to come in those little bags made out of that crackly plastic
stuff, so its hard to tell.

About 4 years ago I bought some track and fittings in Wilko's 'own' system.

A week later I needed another part, not in stock. Never has been since and
now only a prprietary brand, so not that reliable.
Fortunately I was able to do a functional bodge to solve the problem.

the textile industry. If I didn't have that, I certainly would consider
WD40. This one: WD-40 Specialist Silicone Lubricant 400ml. But being a
cheapskate I'd probably buy another cheap silicone spray. I wouldn't use
ordinary WD40 or Mr Sheen or any other wax-containing product.

attempting to re-hang the the curtain. You may have got them squeaky
clean but they may already have degraded due to UV from sunlight.

In my experience, you're correct - sometimes. Yesterday, I rehung the
curtains and all hooks and brackets were absolutely fine. True, though,
that sometimes they are brittle, and usually break when removing, so
saving the trouble of cleaning.

basic product!
Funny how WD40 has wormed from being one universal product (pushed as if
it could do anything well) to a string of separate products which are
what many of the competitors have been offering.

Yeah, the only things I don't do in the dishwasher
are PET bottles that don't survive the very hot water.
Great for the electric shutter on the kitchen exhaust fan which
gets utterly obscenely filthy with steak grilling fat and dirt.
None of the electrical parts come off with the shutter itself.

Haven't tried any painted stuff because I don't paint anything

and are a complete pain the arse to get off the jars.

Makes more sense to do those in the dishwasher
since they will survive the very hot water fine.
I have been planning to try some stuff like anodised aluminium
and PET bottles in the dishwasher with just the rinse cycle, but
haven't gotten around to trying that yet.

Yeah, that's the reason I don't do anything

I'd guess the hooks are the same age as the curtains: 1981.

that hold the track to the wall brackets all went brittle some time ago.
A pack of 25 hooks is 39p from Dunelm, probably cheaper than washing
them ...

I have a problem, though. When I use a roller, I wash it afterwards,
then hang it somewhere to dry. When SWMBO uses a roller, she rinses it,
and leaves it in the sink for me to move 'somewhere'. Note, rinses.
That means I then have to wash it properly anyway. She, of course,
maintains that she has already washed it properly. Just like she has
just roller painted a wall properly ...
