Sweet Joy:
Can someone tell me which is more useful to have around the house - Rhoomba or Scooba? Thinking of buying one of these to help me. Please share your experiences with these gadgets. Thanks.
Roomba is like dry vacuuming, Scooba is like sweeping and mopping.
Or those 3-in-1 or 4-in-1, which has sweeping, mopping and uv sterilize. -

I have the Roomba and Scooba, and both are essential items in my domestic arrangements. Roomba is a vacuum cleaner. Scooba is essentially a floor washer, tho it the floor washing process includes a light vacuuming phase. My Roomba (650) can be scheduled to run daily on selected days on its own, and it returns to dock and recharge on its own. The Scooba does not have this scheduling function, and needs to be manually cleaned after each use (pour the water out, clean the filters etc), and the battery brought to the charger. Both are important for me because I have a dog at home and vacuuming is not enough.
However, if I had to choose just one robot, I would choose the Roomba - because it can come out and work while I am away, doesn't need to be cleaned after each use. It does a pretty thorough job of vacuuming which makes manual mopping a breeze afterwards.
These two robots have been doing a good job for us so far, better than manual magic-cleaning/ vacuuming/ mopping. How did I come to this conclusion? When I was using the Roomba 4 to 5 times a week, and Scooba about 3x a week, the dirty water tipped out of the Scooba was fairly clean. Two weeks ago, I didn't use either robots and cleaned the floor manually for a week, then I used Scooba. The dirty water tipped out of Scooba was very dark.
Anyway, I actually wanted to get the Mint Plus, which can do a dry wipe and a wet mop. But it was out of stock for longer than I could wait.

Ah thanks Janet! I didn’t think of jiff!
Taking 2 days leave (tomorrow and tues) to do some heavy duty cleaning. Planning to clean all the 5 fans, the hall/study/bedroom windows, kitchen cabinets, scrub kitchen floor… I wonder if I will kill myself along the way if I do all these tomorrow. Alone. -

you may try an item call Tough and Tender, to clean some of this general purpose stains. It is pretty good in removing stains, besides being non chemical, non-toxic and bio-degradable.Anyone has tips on removing stains from fridge?

No need to use much strength...put a little in the sponge and then clean it off. Btw, you using hard-earned leave to do spring cleaning? Just reading your list of things-to-do made me go bonkers. -

yes. In general, it is a general purpose cleaning solution and is helpful for any mess, and clean up needed.
Use it on counters, tables, appliances, cabinets, walls and more.
Safe for nearly all surfaces - even natural stone. No caustic chemicals, wipe material is bio-degradable, a rarity in the market.
pm you on the details.
