Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info An Edinburgh chippy owner is retiring after 33 years in the business as the renowned shop hits the market. Duddingston Fry, located on Duddingston Park South, has been trading for decades and is now searching for a new owner. The chip shop sits between Farmfoods and the Fashion Bride Wedding Alterations outlet and is on leasehold at £135,000. A listing on Rightbiz read: "Duddingston Fry occupies a highly visible trading location on Duddingston Park South, close to its junction with Niddrie Mains Road/Newcraighall Road in the eastern suburbs of Edinburgh. "The other end of Duddingston Park South adjoins Milton Road West which forms part of the main A1 routing which starts in Edinburgh city centre and ends 440 miles to the south in London. "This part of Edinburgh has a wide and varied selection of housing in the surrounding suburbs of Duddingston, Bingham, Niddrie, Portobello and Craigmillar. "Our client has owned and operated The Duddingston Fry for over 33 years and has very reluctantly placed the business on the market to allow for retirement. "This is a very well-known and popular Edinburgh 'chippy' with a hugely loyal following which has also benefitted from the many new housing developments in the surrounding areas. The premises are kitted out to the highest standard with an exemplary level of cleanliness throughout." The owners say the unit might be suited to a different cuisine "despite the success in its current form".

How I got my mould-spotted grubby, white vertical blinds spotless for 49p – don't waste your money on new ones
A THRIFTY cleaning fan has revealed how she got her dirty blinds looking brand new for just 49p. With the cost-of-living crisis soaring, many cash-strapped households are on the lookout for affordable cleaning hacks - and if your blinds could do with some TLC, you've come to the right place. 2 2 Donna Blossom Hill took to Facebook to share an easy hack that totally transformed her mould-spotted vertical blinds with no faff. According to the woman, although the white blinds were grubby and had certainly seen better days, she couldn't afford a new set. Although some cleaning fans swear by using white vinegar, Donna, unfortunately, discovered that this viral 79p hack didn't do anything. Luckily, she soon found a solution - and not only did it work a treat but was also a cheaper alternative, costing less than 50p. She shared the magic remedy on the popular DIY On A Budget Official - and turns out, all you need in a common cleaning product that's most likely already sitting in your home. Sharing a before and after of the jaw-dropping results, the savvy woman wrote: ''No money for new blinds so I bleached them, I did try white vinegar but didn't work. ''I got a bucket (98p B&Q) filled it with hottish water with 49p bleach (Farmfoods) put half bottle in, carefully unclipped from the top leaving weights in bottom and 1 by 1 put them in bucket leaving for 5 minutes.'' She went on in the post: ''Then from the bucket hanging them up 1 by 1 and putting a towel underneath them for 15 mins & they're done. ''I'm amazed as they're in my conservatory so i have a lot of blinds to do.'' 'Good ol' bleach' Since being shared on the popular page, the post has already taken the internet by storm, winning Donna more than 500 likes in just a few hours. More than 120 people flooded to comments to share their thoughts at the epic transformation, as others revealed their go-to remedies. One cleaning fan recommended: ''Try baking soda with vinegar.'' Someone else chimed in: ''Fab! I soaked mine in the bath with washing powder and they came out well. Just make sure hang to dry.'' The household items you're not cleaning often enough IF you want to ensure your home is squeaky clean, you'll need to listen up. Below are the household items you're forgetting to clean, and how to get them sparkling... Remote Controls: Wipe with a disinfectant cloth. Use a cotton bud for crevices. Light Switches: Wipe with a disinfectant wipe. Use a mild soap solution for tough stains. Door Handles: Clean with an antibacterial spray. Wipe down regularly. Underneath and Behind Appliances: Vacuum or sweep regularly. Mop with a suitable cleaner. Shower Curtains and Liners: Wash in the washing machine. Use a bleach solution for stubborn mildew. Kitchen Sponges and Dishcloths: Microwave damp sponges for one minute. Wash dishcloths in the washing machine. Computer Keyboards and Mice: Use compressed air to remove debris. Wipe with a disinfectant wipe. A third wrote: ''I used to use mildew spray worked a treat.'' ''Be careful if that's mould it can cause lung problems. If it comes back better to change them,'' a fourth said. However, there were also plenty of those who strongly advised against using the 49p solution. ''Bleach does not kill mould, it will get rid of it but next time it comes back worse,'' a cleaning fan warned.
