Re: How to remove vinegar marks on marble worktop

Thanks WHL I saw the second video when I googled but not the first. We've just tried the sandpaper method and it does work to a certain extent on raised stains.

Re: How to remove vinegar marks on marble worktop

Thanks for your informative reply, Devil. Sadly, while OH was preparing the ingredients for his chilli pickle, the vinegar bottle exploded and the marble top caught most of it. This morning we found some marble paste, bought from Amazon a long while ago, spread it on and used the polishing pad on th...

How to remove vinegar marks on marble worktop

We have some vinegar marks left on quite a large area of our marble worktop. Anyone know how to restore it to it's original condition.

Thanks in advance

Ordering from Ikea in Limassol

We would like to order an office chair from Ikea. The one we have chosen is in stock but is not available for home delivery. This was confirmed by email from Ikea, Nicosia. Does anyone know if one could go into the small Ikea outlet store in the Limassol Mall (just off the first highway roundabout b...

Re: Wall Mounted 50" TV

Thanks Trevnhil, we live in Anarita. We'll certainly ask the shop, but hoped that there would be several private installers in the Paphos area.

Wall Mounted 50" TV

We're considering buying a TV with a 50" screen. We would like it to be wall mounted with a folding angle bracket so it can be moved to suit viewing from different angles. For a variety of reasons we would prefer this to be done by a professional. Would appreciate any recommendations for someon...

Habadashery Shop in Limassol

There used to be a good habadashery shop in Limassol, just around the corner from Georges Material Shop and close to what used to be the Debenhams store. They sold all sorts of craft materials too, and downstairs they had a good range of fabric. I heard that it had moved close to the Post Office but...

Re: Customs & Import duties

It was an excellent service. A man's dressing gown, ordered on line from M & S Cyprus, shipped from the UK within 3 days and collected from M & S in the Kings Avenue Mall. We didn't have to pay any import duties, and the assistant said that if it wasn't to our liking we could return it to th...

Re: Customs & Import duties

MacManiac, interesting what you say about M & S. Is this when ordering from UK on-line, or Cyprus? An item I order from M & S Cyprus on line actually came from the UK but incurred no charges.

Have just received an email from JCC Smart, saying "Over collection - Rejected". I've checked with the bank and the payment has not been taken. This refers to 2021 Income Tax payment which was made via the tax office portal to JCC, and all appeared to go smoothly. Has anyone else experienc...

Ikea

We've been to Ikea twice in the last 4 weeks. The first time we noticed a reduction of stock. Yesterday was even worse with lots of empty shelves. We asked one of the assistants if the shop was running down stock in order to close. She said there had been some problems but didn't give any details. I...

Documents required for crossing to North and back

We understand that you need - passports, original proof of vaccinations, copies of MEU3 (for return).

Have we missed anything?

Would appreciate the benefit of anyone's recent experience.

Thanks

Re: Wooden front door

We're replacing our wooden front door after 17 years with one that is a combination of UPVC and aluminium. It's been treated every year but the bottom half, that is in direct sun each morning, has suffered badly while the top half is fine.
