The children's favourite is a hygiene blind spot in UK households, according to a new survey If you're a parent you may well find yourself tripping over toys and cuddly toys strewn across the house. But as well as being your child's comfort, teddy bears and soft toys are something a staggering amount of people admit to never washing. That's despite them being a breeding ground for germs, bacteria, allergens and dust mites. They may be well loved but new research has found that parents avoid washing teddy bears and cuddly companions for a number of reasons. However, experts at say they should be washed monthly to ensure they're aren't passing on anything nasty. Parents admit there are many reasons they avoid washing these snuggly bedtime buddies, travel companions, and comforters in times of need. A survey of 2,000 Brits uncovered this surprising hygiene blind spot in UK households. It found that more than one in five people (21 per cent) admit they've never washed their children's teddy bears or cuddly toys, despite 83% knowing they can carry germs. And that's despite 83 per cent admitting they know they can be harbouring all sorts of germs. Almost a third of Brits (32 per cent) say there's simply 'no reason' they haven't done it, whilst 15.6 per cent worry they'll get damaged in the machine. A further 6 per cent fear they'll lose their familiar scent. Katy Roberts, AO's washing machine expert, said that mums and dads should be washing these constant companions every month.

"Blankets you should pop in the washing machine once every fortnight to help keep them fresh. Your teddies and blankets can easily harbour dust mites and allergens so err on the side of caution and stick them in your washing machine when they're dirty." If you're worried about destroying them, she has some advice. She added: "It's completely understandable that many of us are worried about washing our teddies at home, however with a few handy tips, there's no need to stress. "If your furry companion is looking a bit worse for wear, there's nothing finer for it than popping your teddy bear into your washing machine. To clean them properly, check your care label and if this has worn away over the years, then put on a gentle, cold wash with a mild detergent to be on the safe side. 'If your teddy has seen better days and is more on the delicate side, then use a soft cloth or sponge with shampoo and dab away at any dirty areas. Leave this to air dry naturally and you can even give this a quick fluff with a soft brush for a magic touch to finish."

Unblock drains using plumber's natural method 'better' than vinegar and baking soda
Householders urged to use "better" solution to unblock their drains. A blocked drain can be a nightmare that causes a mess if it's not dealt with quickly. It's one of the most frustrating household problems, which usually crops up at the worst possible time. Drains can get clogged when food scraps and soapy residues build up in the pipes, making it hard for water to pass through. There are plenty of DIY hacks to take care of blocked drains, usually involving baking soda and vinegar. But according to plumbing experts, that common solution may not be the best course of action. Understanding what has clogged your drain will help ensure you are using the best unblocking solution. Kitchen sinks tend to get clogged with oils and food debris, while bathroom drains often deal with a combination of soap scum, hair, and skin cells, reports the Express. Experienced plumber and CEO of Ace Plumbing, Justin Cornforth, highlighted the need for targeted methods when tackling clogged drains. He advised against wasting time on conventional hacks in certain scenarios: 'Don't spend your time on methods like mixing baking soda and vinegar or other homemade solutions.' While this combination may help with minor kitchen clogs, Justin clearly states that it 'does nothing with hair and bathroom clogs.' When dealing with stubborn bathroom blockages, especially those caused by hair, he insists it's "better to use mechanical methods rather than the ones that work on a chemical level". His top recommendation is getting a drain snake, a tool that he explains is "excellent for removing clogs" because it "effectively catches hair, freeing up the drain.' He also stressed the importance of quality: 'A drain snake made of stainless steel would be a great long-lasting choice,' unlike cheaper plastic models that can break and worsen the problem. For those without a drain snake, Justin suggests repurposing a wire coat hanger. Straighten it out, leaving a small hook at one end, and carefully insert it into the drain to extract hair and other debris. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Kitchen clogs, on the other hand, often respond well to enzymatic drain cleaners. These natural products use enzymes – and sometimes bacteria – to break down organic matter such as fat, starch, and protein. According to Justin, they are 'better' than vinegar, baking soda, and even harsh chemical alternatives for grease-based clogs. While they may take longer to work and are less effective on mineral build-up, their gentle, eco-friendly formulation makes them a go-to choice for ongoing kitchen maintenance. For those looking to ditch the old vinegar and baking soda combo, these practical and natural solutions offer a plumber-approved way to tackle blockages without compromising your pipes — or your patience.

Baked beans taste 'incredible' if you ditch saucepan for one common kitchen item
Many Brits have mastered the art of cooking baked beans in a saucepan, but there's another way to cook them that can take them to the next level - and it's not what you'd expect Baked beans are a British diet staple offering reliable comfort food. For most, the traditional method involves gently warming them in a saucepan on the hob, stirring now and then, before dishing them up with a Full English or atop buttered toast. Yet, there's an alternative technique that elevates this classic dish without the need for extra ingredients – just a swap in cooking apparatus. A Reddit user divulged their family secret: "My father used to put them on the frying pan after the bacon and sausages had been done. The taste of those beans was nothing short of incredible." This minor tweak can make a world of difference, infusing the beans with a deeper flavour, a thicker sauce, and a delightful smoky undertone from the remnants of bacon and sausage. Another individual remarked: "Ooh in the frying pan, nice work. Might have to try that." Once you've tried this method, the humble saucepan might just become a thing of the past, reports the Express. The expansive surface area of a frying pan encourages quicker evaporation of moisture. Consequently, the sauce around the beans thickens more rapidly, resulting in a robust, concentrated taste. But it's not just about flavour; the frying pan also contributes to a superior texture. In contrast to the saucepan's gentle simmering, the frying pan permits the beans to develop a slight caramelisation and crispiness, particularly if left untouched for a brief time. This method results in delightful pockets of golden, sticky delight that elevate your beans to an entirely new level. Utilising a frying pan can also expedite the cooking process by distributing heat more evenly, ensuring the beans heat up quickly - ideal if you're pressed for time. As the beans are spread out more, it becomes simpler to monitor them, thus avoiding any potential burning or sticking.
