Micro-fibre cloth issit?

[Imami]

Be very careful about the term “micro fibre” if you are looking for dust cloth. The Scott’s ones are specifically stated as dust cloth on the packaging.


As for micro fibre, seems like there are different grades/materials/function? I thought micro fibre cloths were the ones I needed initially and I bought a pack of blue and red. Couldn’t remember the brand though but the term ‘micro fibre’ was on the packaging. I thought that’s would be the same as dust cloth. The red one went on a test drive on my mirror. Wah piang…. My mirror became Elmo’s cousin! :faint:

LOL to Elmo's cousin! :rotflmao:


Micro-fibre cloth comes in differing quality from my experience. I bought one set from the neighbourhood market and was given another set free! It absorbed a lotta water for the rack below the dish rack, so it was a breeze cleaning that. No more stagnant water nor slime. Used it on the windows too! Superb! No dust. No elmo. In my case.. no cousin of oscar the grouch, as i used a green cloth then. Same like you Imami, i used that cloth with diluted glass cleaner. Easy does it. My first scrub was with the newspaper and second with the cloth. Our windows shone with the following day's sunrise. :please: It was good for the dining table as well. Now all used up and don't see them sold at the market anymore. I bought from those moving push cart sellers.

I paid only $10. For buy one get one free... it was *GOOD!

*Absorbs a lotta water without dripping. Dries up instantly upon rinsing and immediate wringing. Doesn't absorb any smells.*

Dinning table? What’s the surface of your dining table, Bud? Mine is teak wood. Cannot right?

Hello all…after more than 10 years n 8 maids…i have decided not to have a helper anymore…i am tired but i hv a piece of mind!..hv been maidless for nearly a month now


my kids r 13,12 n 8…my father is staying with me too…

i woke up at 4.30-5 am to cook lunch for my family…
household chores r share among us
lucky for me…my husband is the type that can do marketing n help in household matters…

to make my cooking a ‘faster affair’…as i need to leave house by 6.45 am…

i bought
-iona roaster(like air fryer)
-pressure cooker
-thermal pot
others
-stick vacuum

i need to replace my blender etc too

i am thinking of getting a dryer?

i have 1 mth more to get my timings right before the school reopens…

reading the stories here somehow ‘motivates’ me and ‘get some ideas’ to shorten the time of doing housework\cooking…

Hi linayh, you can also try getting a robot cleaner to clean your floors. That will free u more time to do other chores.

[linayh]

Anglelight ya thinking of that too since it can vacuum on its own even when we r not at home

n i bought d tefal steam iron…

All the best! I am going this route too. Just served my maid notice and allowed her to transfer.
