      hi SMH Forest

      I’m currently using the bosch dishwasher. Dishes are very clean. Mine is built in, but bosch also has freestanding ones. For a big family, i find dishwasher more economical…

        Hi Breadandmuffins... thanks for the info!! Cooked last wkend, and I think the bigger problem is with the oily kitchen too. Haiz.. how do you all manage after sending off the maid? Does the cleaning of the kitchen deter u from cooking?? Or u will just end up cooking soupy stuff to avoid the mess?? We are still in dilemma over what to do... either get a last maid (last ditch attempt) or do without completely... 1 thing tho, I'm hoping to get preggie sometime next year, so a helper will ease the burden too by then?? HEADACHE!! :frustrated:

              So far I didn't notice anything visible after about 6 months of use. I have marble and paraquet as well. They are really handy to have around. :rahrah: A friend just bought one too.

              It is my maids who were far more destructive towards my floor leaving behind deep scratches and stains! :stompfeet:

                In case anyone looking for irons, I just got a Rowenta Steamium iron and it’s very good. Steam on demand and dry iron in one.

                    Then your place is like mine.....dust everywhere! You'll be shocked to see what dust and hair the Rhoomba finds even if you vaccum everyday. My Scooba and Rhoomba really made life a lot easier for me since I still got 2 kids to run after. 🕺

                      Hi fifiyeo

                      Where does the dirt go? I read somewhere that it is "bagless"? I intend to go down to the showroom at upper cross street to see demo. Is that the cheapest place in Singapore to buy these machines? I will hv to vacuum every day but mop alternate days using the machines, then get a part time maid come once a week to do other chores such as changing bedsheets, ironing , clean kitchens and toilets. I hv 4 children to run after…
