Do manufacturers ever consider cleaning

I borrowed DD's electric carpet cleaner/shampooer a few weeks ago. I noticed it had been left with some wet hairs in a compartment inside the tank for dirty water, which makes up the lower front of the machine. When I came to clean it after use, I found that it was impossible to get rinsing water in and out of this space to clear it out properly. I was amazed to find a cleaning tool which I was unable to clean!

It's the handles on pans round the rivets that enrage me(and is it normal to wash golf clubs in the kitchen sink,in fact is it normal to wash golf clubs.)

Shower tracks are another thing - but we have just replaced a toilet seat and happy to say with the press of a button I can lift the seat off to give a good clean - probably designed by a woman! grin

toothbrush, vinegar and bicarb- should do it. But yes, totally agree!

I swear makers of household goods have never cleaned them.

For instance our toilet bowl very smart but trying to get to the exposed bit between the seat and the cistern takes ingenuity.

I was cleaning my very easy to clean Bosch oven but the little light protector (I have one in the grill and the oven) is made of glass with dimples in it.....why not smooth glass!! You can never get the it completely clean.
