Hi, any idea where or what brands of dishwasher and dryer that is small in size? Trying to find a small one to fit into my small kitchen.

Pokemon 97, I mop my floor with a normal mop. then use Magic Clean with dry sheet to wipe over the floor once dried.

It seems to effectively remove the dirt and make the floor shinner.

On the days that I don’t mop, I just use the dry sheets to ‘pick up’ dust/dirt and hair from the floor.

ha ha so glad you posted it again. I came across your post about ants some time back and dreaded ploughing through all the pages and pages of posts. Been invaded by these ants recently. Dunno where they came from. Also got those flies (like those that like bananas) in the bathroom. So pesky and yet troublesome getting rid of them.

Used to rely on them until I got the robot cleaners. I like the dry magic clean wipe. Never tried the wet type though I got them.

is part time maid safe?

I think it really depends on the comfort level you have with the part timer. For me I prefer to stay home when part time is around, even though I did once leave the house for a short time. I would only trust a part timer if she has been working with me for a while. Therefore it is important to have a regular one so you can assess her character over time.

I’ve always been thinking of having one, tiring to handle everything, but my hubby says it’s like stranger in the house, I think so too. But sometimes, really tiring…[/quote]Part-time really helps alot! To my hubby, it's $ well-spent as if I can't cope, i'll look to him for help but after a whole day at work, he just want to rest and spend time with kids, not doing household chores. We didn't want live-in maid, so we always have part-time coming in once a week, at a time, even considered 2x a week. As I'm SAHM, it's easy to arrange for a weekday. Part-time helps with dusting, vacuuming, mopping, washing toilets, changing of bedsheets, washing kids sch shoes and cleaning of windows & fans (monthly-I leave to her to arrange). If time permits, she can iron clothes too. For hdb flats, 3-4 hrs is sufficient. For my place, she takes 5 hrs without ironing.

Well. my latest gadget is robot vacuum cleaner, helps me to have clean floor for the rest of the week.
