All About Life Without Maids

Hi, sorry this thread is too long to search, but any advice on dish washer? Wish to get one to make cooking less tedious… Is a "single drawer" size enough for a 4 pax family (incl. all the pots and pans for cooking)? Is it also necessary to get good brands like Electrolux or Bosch? Saw some Elba ones more affordable but worry about breaking down and also there are no half load options…

agree, iclebo is working well so far.. it can even mop.. past 2 weeks after maid left, i haven touch broom/mop.. and it's clean ! and i use handheld vacuum for anything visible to me on floor..


washing machines i wash 3 times a week.. just started dryer. today another load for kids uniforms and towels and bedsheet.

undies still ownself wash.. kids n hubby undies all washing machines.. but kids and adult clothes i wash separately as i dun use softerner for kids' clothing. i soak their white uniform one night before i throw into washing machines..

Hi micollh,

Iclebo can mop? With water or with paper wipes?
Tks

Thanks for this fifyeo... sigh, need to call that sales lady again... took me forever to figure the manual out but if this can be done, then it's great! Thanks again :salute:

You are welcome.
Yes, do call them. There must be some buttons to load water, spin and drain out. Since we want to do a really short cycle, then will have to do it manually.
Good Luck!

Yes, it has this microfiber cloth that can stick on the iclebo to do mopping, but u need to manually wet this cloth and stick on it to start the mop function

Hi Micollh,

Do u use any floor detergent with the microfiber cloth? Also, how many times do u need to re-wet the cloth to mop the whole house? Am waiting for the new model to arrive at our shore

Hi,

Anyone bought things from outlet.com.sg before? Are they reliable?
They have are selling the 360° Rotating Spin Dry Mop (includes 1 Bucket, 3 Mop Heads and 1 Pole) for only $33.
http://www.outlet.com.sg/thedeal/view/index/id/1857/
I like the design because it looks like the water won't splash when it spins.
Worth trying?
TIA

ants ants ants… im troubled by ants… yest they even attack my kid’s milk powder … do u think the milk powder still can drink if the ants are all over it … hubby filter it out into airtight container… but i feel not comfortable since ants crawl on them already, i should discard right? so angry with the ants… first time they attack milk powder… how do u store ur kids milk power ? i always leave it outside… maybe i din close tightly that they crawl inside…
