All About Full-Time Maids

Hi Foursome,


Since you were not the owner of the handphone in the first place, guess you don’t have the right to confiscate from your maid. Furthermore, you have sent her back to the agent. Best in my own opinion is to return the handphone to the maid agency tell them to handle to return back to the maid herself.

mummy, one question on washing clothes. if i use dynamo & softerner. usually how do u instruc ur maid? i told her to soak the clothes in water with one cup of softener…then use dynamo for those need scrubbing… if have stain just rub some dynamo on the stain. today then i found out, she did her way, she soak with dynamo, then after washing/scrubbing she dip the clothes into a pail with softerner and then squeeze dry directly and hang… i told her this means my clothes wull be sticky sticky right… she said will be nicer smell… mmm… which is right? how u use softerner?

I don’t think you’re supposed to pre-soak your clothes in softener. It’ll cause your clothes to harden.

We Normally Wash with Detergent, etc and Add softener in the Last Rinse ....

Softener is definitely for after the wash so your maid was partly right but she needs to rinse after using the softener. I assume she is hand-washing in which case she can leave the clothes to soak in the softener for a while after washing then rinse before hanging.

U mean she rinse in the pail with softener and nv rinse with clear water again?? I dont feel its clean if thats what she's been doing... But ya.. softerner should be the last step..

Or u can opt not to use softener to ease the process...
I use front load washers and softerners are not recommended... so, I relief myself of the headache too!!

Thanks all. ok. then still soak clothes with dynamo. then after scrubbingm rinse, soak in softerner then rinse again. she missed the last rinse jst soak in softerner and hang… but even when add softener. my clothes also not say softer or nicer smell… same… maybe i should just eliminate softerner altogether… but i ask my frens, seems like everyone is using softener… and feel the same, clothes got feel softer ? no.

My understanding is that softener is added to the last rinse, so do not need to rinse with water again. But I do not add too much softener as the smell can be too overwhelming.
