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!

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

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

Hello, i think i would discard the milk powder and to share, got once my home was also infested with ants crawling everywhere so i went to supermarket to buy those combat ant killer and put them over various places, the next day all the ants are gone maybe you can try this

[micollh]

i used combat before but the ants come back again… i agree to discard the milk powder !
