Introduction

Step 1

              Miscellaneous hosehold and kitchen items
  • A wide variety of household and kitchen items turn up at our Restart Parties. Here’s what we’ve learned about them.
  • Vacuum cleaners - can be a messy job, especially if the owner didn’t realise you have to empty the bag occasionally!
  • Table lamps - quite often an easy fix and people just love it when you fix one they’ve had for years.
  • Sewing machines - a popular page, and if you’re more used to electronic gadgets an easy way to extend your range.
  • Digital weighing scales - usually pretty reliable, but faced with one, would you know how it works?
  • Toasters - if yours is toast then maybe you can fix it.
  • Steam irons - when the water gets where it shouldn’t then it there may not be much you can do, but first let’s get inside the thing!
  • Microwave ovens - handle with care - this page contains important safety warnings.
