:? What are you trying to say?

when i change the quilt cover, i have to tie the 4 corners of the quilt to the loop of the quilt cover. but its difficult to make it straight. sometimes can match wrong corners to wrong loop, or the quilt tends to be a lump inside the cover

Hi Fifiyeo, so is the Spin and Mop from Homefix really good to use? Dont need to bring the pail around, and no drips?


Thanks

hi mummies, can anyone help me on this:

1. what is the easiest and fastest way to wash vegetables? Can i wash the night before?
2. thermal pot - anyone uses the takahi brand? are they good and how long usually can they keep warm for? Am thinking of cooking the soup from about 1pm, by the time hubby comes back is about 8pm…
3. for meat marination - like pork chop - can i cut and marinate the night before?

Thanks so much!!!

1) First, spread the duvet cover on the bed (correct position)
2) Position the quilt over the cover to ensure the length and breath is equal, then insert as accordingly.
3) Try not to tie the strings to the loop too tight.

Alternatively, you can use big safety pins to pin the 4 corners. (I personally don't like this idea though).

Lumps in quilt can be the cause of the cotton in the quilt itself. After several wash can cause lumps.

Can't remember exactly what the brand since they got different types at Homefix. But it's the one with the orange outer bucket and stainless steel spin bucket.

No drips and painless since no need to squeeze that dirty mop dry with your own hands. Sometimes my 6yr old will use it to help me mop the stairs but I'll have to change the water since its too heavy for him.

I don't move the pail around. I leave it in the toilet and walk go to and fro from there whenever I need to rinse the mop.

if u are not particular abt a certain amt of loss of vitamins, i think its ok to cut veg or marinate meat the nite before. of cos, its fresher to cut and cook on the spot but if really no time, can do before i suppose, so long they are refrigerated after cutting.

i also stimes cut the veg in the morning to cook at afternoon.

i use thermal pot but la gourmet but i think any brand ok
