Hi, I am using a Karcher steamer cleaner now. It can be used to steam the floor, curtains, toilet wall.


I find my floor quite nice to step on lately. I bought it for $198 at mega discount store at united square.

I need a steam cleaner to clean the kitchen esp, like the cooker hoob, greasy kitchen cabinet. Can this steam cleaner be used? Can you show us a pic or provide us the model?

can be used to clean the kitchen, but since i used mine to clean the toilet wall, i don feel comfortable to use in the food preparation area again. I am thinking of buying a smaller one to use just for the kitchen, but wonder how long can the steam last for each use.

Anyone use the Omega Spin mops? Do they last? Groupon having a sale on them at $36.90 for self collection from Suntec.

Hi, you need to wait a while to let the water heat up. This model is quite a small capacity one, so the water get used up pretty fast too. But i still buy this one because i was thinking it is lighter, so easier to move around.

You need to wash the cloth. Can be any type of cleaning cloth, though the package came with some cloth , but it spoilt pretty fast. So what i did was buy some of those microfiber cleaning cloth from daiso, and sewed them into the shape that can fit the machine.

what the salesperson taught me was to use two layer of cloth, so the floor would not be so wet, but i think for wood floor, it is still better to dry with a dry cloth.

:thankyou: I really appreciate the info!!! Am so tempted to go get one NOW!!!! Argghh!!!! :drool:

I have been thinking of buying for a long time. Initially, wanted to buy it to steam the mattress, but the sales person said not advisable since it will make the mattress damp and ended with worse for the dust mite problem. So i put it on hold, hoping to get more feedback.


But am glad that finally bought it. Though not using for mattress, but use it on curtains, aircon (just blow hot steam in) , floor , wall, washing machine(just blow steam to sanitize the machine a bit ), leather seat in the car.

Hi Shoe,


I hv a Bosch countertop dishwasher, its slightly bigger than a microwave. I think Bosch is the only countertop avail in Singapore. Its for 6 placings and very useful as I dislike washing dishes. It frees a lot of time.
I am sure you will find it useful too.

Hi hi, how much did you buy the dishwasher for ? thanks

You can check out housecleanerssingapore.com or call James at 6844 3044 or 83372433. Good service. I insisted on an experienced singaporean. I pay $328 per month. I don't pay peanuts so I don't expect monkey job. And they have delivered. Very good service.

pant pant FINALLY managed to read thru all the 142 pages! Now looking forward to more good tips for leading a wonderful life without maids. BTW, my maid is leaving in July. I’m thinking of getting a robot to vac my floor. Has anyone used Neato XV b4? How is it?

Hi all, any good recommendations of thermal pot and rice cooker? Looking for a rice cooker that has a timer so that the rice can be cooked at scheduled time.
