Doorcard is fibreboard and responds to steaming and bending back to the correct profile.
Wait until the owner/user/occupier of your kitchen goes shopping,then you can use a large pan of boiling water to create steam.
Do remember to remove oily paw marks when finished!

I soaked mine in the bath, gets them nice and soft and can be bent into any shape really...

Then stick them on or near a radiator to dry out nicely.

I have Karcher steamer and live on my own so I am safe on that side of things........
I have learnt over more than 30 years of 'wedded bliss' that 'er indoors shopping trips are plenty long enough for me to abuse the kitchen and it's strange cupboard contents to the advantage of my E30's!
My only problem is in adequately covering my tracks.... :mad:
