Tried and tested useful household tips

[MatinJohn]

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?

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.

Thanks for the link. I like the suggestion of using empty toilet/paper towel rolls to organise wires.

for those that had roaches prob, do you also have lizards probs?


I reckon that we can only have either one as they dun like ea other. just on my experience.

gog to share my experience with lizards. nt to stop them but to kill them.

i saw pour hot water or spray insecticide to blur them. all i m using. but only if they are unreachable by me. my fave weapon is still rolled up newspaper.

new accessory to help me is torchlight. hopefully those ultra bright ones. no not to blind them but to irritate them. like when they are at a place where we cant whack them due to any reasons, i use torchlight to shine at them and keep moving the light. not just shine at them but flashing at them nonstop. they cant tke it. they quickly siam and try to run away.

HOPEFULLY they run to somewhere that you can whack them.

multiple flat bodies with their organs all come out. ok i stop here. getting gross liao. :siam:

Fat & heavy as I can be. I can run faster than the lizards. :siam:
If i can fly, I probably will fly faster than the cockroaches. :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

During times like this, pls forget mommy. SHOUT for DADDY!!!
We used to run together, but hubby realised he cannot outrun me. Plus must be 'hero' in front of kids. :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

is it? Then good - my home must be free of roaches! recently found many lizards at home. Big, small, juveniles....

I fear roaches more than lizards and hated the cleaning up I need to do after spotting one.
