I have been trying to clean away the particle on the shower screen and scrub away the black moldy silicon. tried so many ways for the shower screen. use magic clean, cif, amway all-in-one purpose, one special stain remover. it looks ok when you wash it but after it drys up you will see the spots again. i’m very particular about mirror and glass. I like to see spotless on the screen. so i really want to get the spots away. even my windows, am trying to get the magnetic window cleaner. cannot find. if you know of anywhere which i can buy, pls let me know.

Voila! I did it.

See the white thingy in the middle of the pail inside. That one is to stir the water to rinse the mop. Pretty useful. Base of pail also designed such that the dirt is away from mop when rinsing.

I bought from Isetan for about $71 after all the diff discounts. Original price is $139.

i think i saw it at OG too. Is there a name for this?
how long will the mop last? the pail easy to break?

Is it still available at OG? How much does it cost now? Any discount?[/quote]I bought from Isetan. I've replaced the gear once and after using for almost 2 years, I've thrown it away because of the rust on the bottom and the stepper broke. My myanmar maid was lifting the stepper with her foot. Only after she left, when I wanted to use it myself, then I realised it was broken.

My maids have been using it so I can't tell if it was because of their careless use. Just my 2 cents worth -

When the pail is heavy with water, you want to empty it, don't grab the stepper, use the white plastc ring above the stepper. I suspect my maid habitually grab the stepper and broke the gear within a few months and I had to replace the gear for the stepper.

The bottom gets rusty or if it is greased well, the grease/rust will be all over the bathroom floor.

My Husband’s working shirts have been kept in the cupboard for too long and now all had turned mouldy and yellowish. Does anyhow know how to wash to get rid of the mould? I tried washing with normal laundry detergent but cannot get rid of the mould and still yellowish. Can I use colour bleach to soak before washing and how to prevent the shirts from turning yellow if never wear for some time.

Hello friends,


I left a lot of my silver jewellery out and the sun got it and tarnished it. I tried cleaning it in a liquid jewellery cleaner a couple of times, but my jewellery is still very yellowy. What's the best way to rectify it?

Thanks and Regards,
Matin John

hi matinjohn,


u should buy the silver solution to do the job… buy from those shops selling silver jewellery… its a clear solution whereby u dip ur jewellery in and take out quickly… rinse with water and it magically looks brand new again…

Used to get the solution from Perlini’s but they have closed down. Any idea where else to buy?

[verykiasumummy]

is the shop moshi moshi still in wisma? used to get from them…


u can also go to chinatown to those shops selling jewellery parts and pieces… they have it too…

hi, matin

The boss of the silver jewellery shop have told me to use a small handkerchief with a little toothpaste to clean it, which will make it very bright again. You can have a try.
