          allseasons, you're welcome! šŸ™‚


          mathsparks, i would throw dd1's shoes in too if i could but i think the rubber in her shoes cannot take it. haha! the machine is clean when the wash is done. moreover, the machine also has a tub clean and tub dry function so i don't need to scrub it personally. basically, i just use a soft rag (an old baby's washcloth) to wipe clean and dry the machine after each use. and i clean out the filter after each wash too, even though the manual says to clean out only if the dryer has been used.

          yes, i prefer to scrub the dishes, pots, pans, etc myself. otherwise, how to ensure that they are really clean and free from soap? i hate cleaning complicated machines so even though i hate cleaning sinks, it's still better than cleaning a dishwasher.

              The chore I would dread most is washing the floor mats and toilets. 😢

              And it's true hor, schellen..dishwashers still have to be washed and I really wonder if anyone uses it to wash their pots n pans.

                How if we start a new thread titled \"All about Dishwasher\", so we can discuss about whether it is useful to clean our dishes, pots & pans.. Also abt the water usage, what brand to buy, etc etc.. :? Maybe got some one here use it then can share their experience..


                I am really tempted to get one, coz every night after dinner I already feel so tired... but still need to wash all the dishes.. 😢

                  My wife bought a kind of floor mats that need less effort to wash. It is sticky to the floor so it doesn't move about and it is easy to wash......

                  She bought it in front of fair price cashier at tampines mall

                    the only way that I thought of that is not washing the plates is to use disposable plates …

                      Then, I think in the long run, a dishwasher will be cheaper. šŸ˜‰

                        Yes, I hate washing toilets too cos mine has homogeneous tiles (not the usual smooth type) but why would floor mats be difficult to wash? :? I only have 2 for each toilet and I accumulate them for 3 weeks before throwing all 6 into the washing machine. If the weather is bad, I dry them in the machine too.
