Space solves: Playpen and spilt Danish oil

My daughter's twin boys are about to start crawling and she needs an extra large playpen, ideally with an option to convert into a room divider. Mothercare 's Play Safe Playpen (£89.99) and the Babydan Playpen (£125, from Twins UK ) are your best options. Both have five panels, a gate and a generous square metre of padded, wipeable play space. They can also be used as room dividers, safety gates or fireguards. I've spilled Danish oil on a window and it has dried hard. How can I get it off without scratching the glass? "Soak a very fine-grade wire wool in methylated spirits or turps, and rub gently over the marks," says our cleaning expert, Stephanie Zia. "Failing that, try a solvent varnish remover. Nitromors All-Purpose Paint & Varnish Remover (from hardware stores, or £6.79 from wilkinsonplus.com ) is a powerful paint and varnish stripper particularly suitable for vertical surfaces. Wearing goggles and gloves, dab on a thick coat by brush. Wait for the varnish to blister, apply another coat, working it well into the blisters, and leave for 20 minutes without letting it dry out. Skim off with a scraper knife. If the varnish doesn't come away easily, apply more solvent. Wash with liquid detergent in cold water and follow council guidelines for the disposal of empty containers. If that sounds too scary, De-Solv-It's Contractors Solvent (from hardware stores, or £4.89 from B&Q ) may work. It removes oils and grease, etc, from glass: again, follow safety instructions." • Got a question for our crack team of homes experts? Email [email protected]
