Hi,


Can anyone offers me tips in terms of cleaning glass table?

I bought Lorenzo glass dining table and I have problem cleaning those liquids spill in between the glass and the table itself. Anyone .... please help!

Thanks!

Doesnt cleaning with paper help just wet the paper rub then rub with dry one?

if i m not wrong..

my coffee table is glass top, below is a drawer to display stuff so u can see what's inside from the glass top..

so sometimes coloured liquids (i dunno what and why) seep in between the glass and the 'frame' which is glued together..

i haven't figured out how to clean so i just leave it..

I laid a piece of plastic sheet (the thicker book wrapper type) over my glass dining table. Cleaning is easier.

most hardware shops sell those plastic sheet of various thickness, cut to desired length, minimum 5 feet wide, besides using it to cover the glass top to prevent spillage into the gap, it also serves as a protector and laminate, no scratches on glass top, and can be changed for every Christmas .... cheap and good

Thanks, all!


Now, I need to lift the glass and clean it before protecting it with plastic sheet. By the way, do you use scotch tape to hold the plastic? :?

Also, any volunteer to lift the glass? Just kidding!

Ok... transplanting my post on Borage plants from the Elderberry thread

[quote=\"schweppes\"]Actually, if you like the smell of oregano oil, try planting borage in your home. It has a similar smell to oregano - must be from the same plant family.

According to dh, it is a natural insect repellant. We grow 2 pots at home. So far, keeping the mozzies at bay. Or at least in the hall, since that's where my potted borage plants are.

Erheemmmm, I'm not quite the green fingers here :oops: :oops:

Never heard of borage before.

But sure interested to find out more ....

Is it an indoor plant?? How do I go about planting/buying it?? How do I maintain it???

Ok... u give me one day to get back to u on this one. I need to ask my farmer husband. Actually, he didn't buy it, just came home one day with the plant - with roots and all. As u can see, dh doesn't get me flowers, I get plants and vege instead. :stupid: But that's another story altogether... :roll:

Btw, when I next reply, will transplant this borage thingy to the \"tried and tested\" thread. Otherwise the mobsters, oops mods will come and :heresmyfish: me
