Top tip - don't use the Karcher jet wash you bought for the patio.

Ahhh I see... Trouble is I usually run out of ammuntion before the bowl is clean, and it doesn't touch the skids under the waterline.

I find it better to pick them off with your fingernails ... then use your teeth to clean you nails

Re: Cleaning the kharzi...

Being the woman of the house, I end up doing it . Feminism passed us by, I think.

I use white vinegar and bicarbonate of soda - chuck a load of vinegar all round the bowl, sprinkle bicarb, stand back and watch it do all the work . Then a quick wipe around with kitchen roll (not a cloth, yuck), and job's a goodun

Thought you'd have got rid of him by now.

@Nev: the shape of the bowl does a good job of giving as good as it gets...
